The day after the opening Champions League qualifier of the season can get a bit tasty on the blog but business has been pedestrian since last night’s professional performance by the men in hoops. If you wanted to be pushy, you could point to a couple of glimpses of goal which fell Cliftonville’s way as a result of Celtic defenders being dragged out of position, but that’s about the measure of an unfamiliar defence at any time.
Congratulations to Georgios Samaras, who scored in Celtic’s first five European away games last season and obliged again yesterday. A remarkable record for a player who is never employed as a penalty box striker.
It would also be tardy not to congratulate Celtic and Cliftonville supporters on their exemplary behaviour throughout the day. After recent disturbances in Belfast there were fears that a group of travelling Celtic supporters could find trouble in the city but the casual observer could be forgiven if he thought we were in Seville again.
Maybe Belfast council should invite us over every July to spread a bit of cheer. We do football very well, in all respects.
Neil Lennon can now kick back and relax with a formality of a second and the next round not for another…. 12 days!! Maybe not. 12 days is not a lot of time to do anything in football, so every day, including match day against Cliftonville, will need to be meticulously planned to ensure we are ready to face an opponent who could well be midseason. Relax, and you’re finished in this business.

Good luck to Scotland’s other representatives in Europe tonight.
I’m saying a wee prayer for Hibs and St Johnstone (though not hopeful).
Hibs 2 down.
To all the bhoys meeting in town enjoy the day/night out, if your looking for BT and Oldtim, just picture Stadler n Waldorf…that should suffice …

Are you the guy who is always standing on your own in the pub wondering why everybody you start a conversation with has to leave after one pint ???
TSD – what’s up ? you seem to be focussing on race and religion lately – don’t remember you being like this always.

Cheers for the kind words.
I emailed those few photos to you earlier.
Did you get doing the tour?

Squire D…,
I remember being in Cuba, we went for a days horse riding had never done it before so have it a go.
We got to a little taverna in the hills beautiful verdant country. I needed to go to the lavvy and was pointed to a wee hut, I entered the hut to find a hole in the floor, as soon as the door slammed shut I heard the excited squeal of pigs, when I had done my business I left the wee hut and had a look for the pigs only to find them gathered around the trough I worked out where my business ended up, needless to say when I got back to the taverna I advised my fellow tourists that the pork was best left alone, moral being if you shot in the pigs trough don’t be surprised if it gets excited and starts squealing. Better justeaving pork off the menu
Completely useless fact
I have never seen The Quiet Man. But I do know who Squire Danaher was.

Hibs @ Malmo 2-0 down
Saints @ Rosenborg 1-0 up
Into the second half in both games..
1920:
Chris in Stirling: “A Saints win tonight would be great for Scottish football and a big boost for the coefficient. Celtic can’t do it all by themselves.”
Aye yer right Chris..
Is dbbia a sub for Rosenborg?
Starry
Sky just came up with the info. Not bad going for the saints if they can hold out. Not bad at all.
Hibs unlucky again. No chance without Griffiths though.
I gave this advice before and I really hate giving advice because I never took any till well into my thirties. I have came on here for a good few years now and kojo or his alias have never bothered me one bit. The world is full of gits I love reading on here and from 2 perhaps 3 posts I realised this git was wired to the moon n had nothing to offer, nothing. Now I am all for free speach even when it comes out of an arseholes arsehole but please do not engage in “conversation” with this attention seeking bigoted moron.
THAT’S WHAT HE WANTS. HE HAS NO LIFE, HE TYPES TO HIMSELF.
Noticed hapoel won tonight 1-4…

Re TSD
I got involved in a discussion on Sunday which I wasn’t proud of. I do not think he is a Kojo alter ego though. Kojo is a contributor who skates on pretty thin at times but he makes me laugh , and I think he is a real Celt. TSD is as funny as Jim Davidson and I’ve never seen any real evidence that he has any interest in either Celtic or football.
Just saying

Haha,thought you were meant to be sober at this time of night!
