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.

    Ha!ha! From Bada’s link to STV article on the Zombie done for sectarian singing at the CL qualifier.

     

    “The court heard the greengrocer will now “face the wrath of his wife” when he returns home.”

     

    Thought they might have avoided that occupation.

    The Green Brigade have less than 100 official members. Celtic know everything about every one of their members.

     

    GCHQ like.

    If Celtic PlC dare do anything serious to damage the Green Brigade at the best of the Unionst dogs within our support they wont have a waiting list problem anymore.

     

     

    Stupid, crass statement by the PLC yesterday, and yes, they’ve placated the assimilated tims in our support by saying so. If the PLC know what’s good for them they had better leave it at that.

    The article would’ve been rounded off nicely had it informed us that his wife’s name is Karen.

    this is a nice song

    “Cleopatra made me cry in the studio and I had to stop the take. It’s inspired by a true story about a female taxi driver who, when she was younger, was proposed to. But her father had just passed away, so she didn’t give her boyfriend an answer. So he left the village broken-hearted and rejected and never returned again. He was her great love and she wouldn’t wash the footprints off the floor after he had left.

     

     

    I knew immediately that I wanted to write a song about the story because it was so haunting and poetic. And I got to meet the lady herself eventually and she was very honest and humble. She really affected me because of the sadness in her story.” -Wesley Schultz

    You are just a typical celtic man

     

     

    Too principled to tell a little white lie….

    She loved him totally.

     

    Turned nasty when I said he was a pile of shite.

     

    Think he has a cult female following.

     

    Strange, considering how limited he is as a musician and singer. Maybe he is into hypnosis?

    SIONNACH ABU,

     

     

    Thanks.

     

     

    Last week each time I saw a Sevconian I just burst out laughing fits of laughter. I saw two guys last Wednesday when I arrived, one with a Ulster Rugby top, to celebrate the 12th. I couldn’t stop laughing. I almost asked for a photograph of them.

     

     

    I listened to three others behind me on a bus in Toryglen,

     

     

    ” I’m dreadin this season.”

     

    “Dae ye think he’ll turn roon?”

     

    “39 points is doable.”

     

     

    Fits of laughter. I was disappointed when they got off the bus.

    Galway girl is cringeworthy.

     

    Don’t get it. Poor singer, poorer guitarist.

     

    Why is Ed the darling?

  20. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    The Green Man and the Anarchist/Surrealist Collective.

     

    Three day set:)

     

    Glasto will love it.

  21. What is the Stars on

    Delaneys

     

    Agreed

     

    Galway girl is dreadful

     

    He had his day in the sun ,made a bucket of money but Glasto killed him

     

    He is not the first,he wont be the last

  22. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    I believe if you are working-class and you get to play Glasto, the rich throw money at you.

     

    Sounds good:)
