Rosenborg a shadow of former self

874

Congratulations to Celtic, who last night became the first Scottish team to win a European tie since, Celtic, last season. While I am sure we would all have preferred to face Dundalk in the next Champions League qualifying round, a trip to Norway to face Rosenborg will be welcome by the club.

Rosenborg are not the same force we faced 16 years ago, and even that team was a shadow of the team who tested Real Madrid a few seasons earlier. The Norwegians succumbed to the inevitable forces of economic plunder, as clubs from richer leagues picked off their talent at increasingly earlier ages.

We should have more than enough in the tank for this one.

  1. their is no respect for football anymore its just a racket now and celtic plc no their place aand relish it

  2. At the end of the day it’s a fine from a corrupt organisation.

     

    Nobody outwith scotland gives a flying duck about what happens in scotland, I doubt they will give it a second thought, teams from the smaller nations get fined week in week out by uefa, just like we know feck all about them it is the same for us.

     

    As for our reputation, the only people again who give a feck are those who would see us gone and they are offended by our very existence, if you care about what they think you really need to get out a bit more ffs.

     

    Our reputation is as intact as ever.

  3. Seriously, now auto play adverts that not only can you not switch off or pause but that you can’t turn the sound down on unless you mute the PC.

     

     

    I appreciate that some money has to be made to cover the costs but too much..

    The Bristol and Louden done great business fae the visitors yesterday. Glasgow economy booming. Shower of scum sang songs I haven’t heard fae the Ibrox mob in years.

     

    VFR word of the day was perfect for the Celtic support last night. Apposite.

    All the banner experts. Did we see you on CQN complaining about the racist abuse Scott Sinclair is subject to?

     

     

    Did we hear you complain about Celtic supporters violently attacked in the Gallowgate by Ajax Huns?

     

     

     

    And have we heard any complaints about how the league is rigged by the SFA/Huns?

     

     

    Or is it just banners and Celtic supporters that you are concerned with?

     

     

    This !!!!

    Yeah, they are bang at it. Nobody is to say a word.

     

    We have all to be silent.

     

    Just let them do what they want, racially abuse SS, throw bottles at LG.

     

    No problem.

     

    And the PLC will play the Hun game by going after Celtic supporters.

    Do I need to wait until I’m 68 before I can join the cantankerous pensioners club,

     

     

    Thankfully I’ll only have worked a total of 52 years before I can join the elite hand ringing old bhoys brigade..

     

     

    As opposed to the bhoys of the old brigade

    Remember getting a proper kicking fae 5 huns fae Victoria Drive school. My only crime was a green and white scarf. Went home greeting to my ma. Take them out one by one son was her advice. Took her advice. The 5 cowards avoid me in Knightswood to this day.

    THE GREEN MAN SAYS SACK THE BOARD on 20TH JULY 2017 7:17 PM

     

    Like i said. Plenty on here condone the cheating by the SFA/HUNS, but are offended by a banner.

     

     

    As angelgabriel has stated – if Celtic want to play in the champions League (which made us £30m last season) then we abide by the rules set by UEFA including Acceptable Conduct.

     

     

    Stripping titles relates to the League, a competition run by SPFL while the Scottish Cup is run by the SFA. Each of these competitions have their own rules, which are currently under a great deal of scrutiny, believe me !

     

     

    You cannot sensibly compare one competition to another conduct wise. Each is a separate issue.

     

     

    And if you do want to Sack the Board or make your feelings known, come to the AGM and take the floor. Every shareholder has that right. If you are not a shareholder, buy just 1 share and you will have that right. Anyone can sound off on a keyboard.

    Ive no time for a board of cowards who cant stand up for Celtic.

     

    As for supporters who want to complain about banners, yet ignore blatant cheating. Well thats is just old fashioned hypocrisy isnt it, lets get it right.

     

    People who dont mind getting cheated by the SFA/HUNS, but are offended by a few banners.

     

    Aye, very good.

    GMS is really struggling for Aberdeen tonight.

     

     

    Mind you, no one is really playing well for them. Games like this would get fitba stopped.

     

     

    They are missing Hayes for sure.

    Is Peter Lawell still in the lobby group of 4 putting pressure on UEFA re champions league changes from this season?

    People who dont mind getting cheated by the SFA/HUNS, but are offended by a few banners.

     

     

    Why are these issues mutually exclusive? We all object to “getting cheated by SFA/HUNS” and many also object to banners which are guaranteed to get the club fined for rule infractions.

     

     

    I attended the Scottish Football Supporters Association (68k + members) meeting at Holyrood this morning which in conjunction with German academics experts is an attempt to give a voice to fans about their thoughts on Scottish Football governance through an independent survey.

     

     

    https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/sfsa-benchmark-2017

     

     

    Press / TV were there so it may feature on local media. The SFSA board includes Henry McLeish (who produced 2 reports on Scottish Football governance) and is supported by cross party MSPs . Do the survey and try to make a difference.

    I glad you liked it.

     

     

    I really want to add my tupence worth to the argument but I don’t read long posts so I’m not going to type one.

     

     

    Suffice to say at my age I think I’ve sang and shouted every song or chant that has came out of Celtic Park so there is nothing from OUR SUPPORTERS last night that could offend me. Regards the banners I immediately thought of the IRA and they never offended me either. No offence to those that took offence.

     

     

     

    KEEP THE FAITH

    CELTIC have joined a group of four clubs who are warning UEFA that its slide towards a Champions Super League will ruin European football.

     

     

    The Scottish champions’ chief-executive, Peter Lawwell, teamed up with club heads from Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Anderlecht to travel to Switzerland last week to speak with UEFA’s power brokers about their fears over the new Champions League plans.

    DD, great to meet up with you and ACGR last night; pity Hot Smoked wisnae there!

     

     

    Just a wee thought on all those criticising the Celtic Support bringing politics (Irish politics at that) into Celtic Park; if it wisnae for Irish Politics Celtic wouldn’t exist, and I’m reminded of that everytime I go to St Mary’s for Mass and see that wonderful mosaic just inside the door commemorating the founding of Celtic Football Club in that Parish in 1887.

     

     

    We were built upon politics; we were built upon the Irish Diaspora. It’s in our DNA. If we remove that, we move our heritage and are no longer Celtic Football Club.

    Mike i get what you are saying, i really do.

     

    But the corruption is so entrenched in Scottish Football, that it is a basket case.

     

    As long as the game is run by Blazered Masons who have no accountability, there will be no change.

     

    This banner squirrel is just that, its a diversion from what the reality is.

     

    I took the decision to stop paying into a rigged system, and i dont regret it.

     

    It stinks to high heaven. It has always been this way in our lifetime, and that is a lot of years.

     

    You cant win unless you are ruthless in exposing the corruption.

     

    The bhoys on CQN have uncovered frightning corruption, they have exposed it all.

     

    Has it made any difference, no.

     

    We are being shafted at every turn, we either stand up, or give in.

  26. Uefa fine Linfield for missile throwing,people running on to the park,and they also close a section of the ground.

     

    ” weeks until the new season starts,and the SPFL have not said a single word about the same offences that took place at Ibrox in the 5-1 game.

     

    As far as I am reading,Celtic have accepted the booking issued to Griff for showing the ref the bottle thrown at him.If true,this is unbelievable.Also funny,these UEFA observers realise what the GB banners mean,with their eagle eyes,yet fail to hear the non stop racist abuse hurled at our player.

     

    Show Racism the Red Card,

     

     

    Aye,right ye are.
