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.

We’re both St J and Hibs games away?
We’re = were.
Doc. Aye.
TnT, good luck, it can be done
How about Jose Marie Calamero, a wee man with a big heart.

Promised the Mrs & kids I’d make a serious effort to stop after the holidays.
Maybe we could set up our own support group!!
All the best with your efforts

Best of luck with that tomorrow. Trying to get my mate to quit as well. You’d think after getting an arterial graft he would be motivated to stop.
Terrible addiction.
Glasgowbhoy
Thanks. I’m in determined mood. Blood pressure is through the roof, so no point in denying its gotta be done.
Could have picked a better weekend right enough. Had 2 bets on the golf. Jimenez at 66/1, and he started on fire, but faded somewhat. My other? Zak J @ 110/1. I’ll be on a 200 carton come Sunday:-)
TWISTS ya weak BASSA give up now.
Hope helpful.

Thanks lads. Appreciate the support. Yep, if anyone wants to join me in quitting, go for it. Just gotta break the habits, after a meal, first thing in morning etc. I’m , as I said, in determined mood this time.
I highly recommend Champix. Helped me and the wife stop smoking over a year ago.
What’s Champix?

Actually, it does make you feel weak minded when you can’t quit. I’m gonna give it everything tomorrow. Off to haydock….no photo finishes I hope ;-).
SoT
If you’re lurking – spot on!
Fiorentina stick it to Juventus and sell Jovetic to Man City for 30K Euros.
Green man
Doc won’t give me it cos of blood pressure.
Celtic as i expected won in a canter last night and Georgios did his European thing by scoring a peach of a goal. People talk about the need to sign a creative midfielder, Kris Commons is that guy and on his game he reminds me of Johnny Giles. Great to see the fans mingling just like at big GAA games.
I noticed young Tony Watt is starting to bulk up and has filled out considerably over the summer.
30K = 30 Million Euros!

Good luck with the stopping smoking.
It’ll be the best thing you ever choose to do……………after supporting Celtic Football Club.
I chucked it 9 years ago when my wife was pregnant with our first daughter….have always said to her that we should have had kids earlier, but got there in the end.
YOU CAN DO IT !
HAIL HAIL
Twists hope it goes well for you,been trying to get G64 to chuck it ,big numbnuts no
for moving .
Have missed your tips recently ,catch one eventually.HH
TnT, I would, if I could:-)
I quit a few years back, I used nicotine replacement smokes.
Good luck.
Twisty
Good luck with giving up the fags
I am so glad I never started smoking ….I suppose I had to leave something out :-))
Not a smoker myself, but know from close experience that the hatred can be your strongest weapon. Failing that, think of it as a benefit, not something you are giving up. All of which is easy for me, I know!

Bummer. Sounds daft, but stock up on grapefruit juice. Keeps your mouth clean and gives you vitamin c which you will need.
Best of luck mate.
EDB, had a meal there recently, great food. Hope you are all doing well.
Buick Makane, sorry if i blew your cover in Algarve last week. What a bunch you & yer mates are…good craic.
Twisty
Some mates of mine saved the costs up in a jar …counted it out after a few weeks and never looked back
Think of the number of patents and Yankees you could put on ;-))
twists n turns
Go for it.
I lost my mother and brother to the fags.
Just go one day at time.
All the best!
Another tip, the money you would have spent on fags, put it in a jar, after a month, you’ll be shocked.

Champix is a drug you can get from the doc. You take the course of tablets and smoke as normal. Within 7 days you will not want a cigarette. You need to finish the course though.

midfield maestro
It’s hard but we’re not alone. Thank you.
Ah thanks for the advice and support bhoys.
Vogue, my nag ( syndicate) runs Tuesday. Will be in touch nearer the time. Been off the track for a year, so may need the run, but, she is running very well at home and flying the hurdles. Long story but she’s gonna be a big price.
theweegreenman

Be careful with Champix – they can have bad side effects.
PapaJohn, it’s tomorrow night, same place as the last one. Pay at the door.
Don’t think I’ll make it.
Ano’s Famagusta – is that really a footie team ?
