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.

Morning all.
When I renewed my season ticket for 2017-18 I opted in to the Home ticket scheme for the first time. I had thought that my season card would then only be automatically activated (and charged) for domestic cup ties but the announcement about Rosenborg tickets suggests that it’ll apply for European games too.
So am I correct in thinking that I don’t need to do anything other than turn up next Wednesday and hope they’ve remembered I’m now in the scheme?
Oh and one week / seven sleeps to Aberdour, can’t wait ;-)

Good morning CQN from a grey, windy, wet and very dreich East Devon.
Jobo, thats correct mate, just check with your bank if your in any doubt? If Celtic have taken a payment from you on Mon then you are good to go.

It’s disgusting and beyond belief that Celtic have broken UEFA rules with regards kit. It won’t be long before we have a full stadium closure for kit infringements.

The stairwell blocking is the one that got me. When will our board learn that they are tarnishing the reputation of our support with these infractions and giving our enemies even more reason to hate us. I don’t live in Turnbridge Wells but I’m nevertheless disgusted.
Actually, it was the banners that got me – Celtic really are determined to get the stadium closed so they can get rid of BR and give his salary to PL – I blame the board.

I concur.
Sadly others are being drawn into that BS org in vein hope.
Like the way they trust the PLC will sort the SFA/SPFL.
There is more chance of me cooking an edible Coq a van than PLC to do more than pretend to get involved.

I still live in hope that the board do the right thing,and with all guns blazing.
Blame it on the naivety of youth…
I wonder if PLC will make representations to Glasgow City Council and/or Police Scotland for allowing Linfield and Hun DOBS to orange walk along London Road?
Na. They’ll not bother about that as it was only threatening to mere Celtic Supporters.

Good luck with that.

“just seen Christie and Mackay Steeven combining to score Aberdeen second goal
I hope we dont regret letting those 2 lads go”
Relax! we have only let GMS go and he will continue to be the same player he was with United and us- flashes of sheer brilliance but too often ineffective, Something is preventing that lad from realising how good he could be- a bit of an eoin Jess Syndrome.
If young Ryan continues to develop, he can be brought back and can try to compete with Tom Rogic for the no.10 role
Nicola Sturgeon deribed Lord McCluskey as “one of the outstanding Scots lawyers of his generation”.
Wonder why Topping, Doncaster and Regan chose Rod McKenzie instead?
Lord McCluskey must have lost out to Roddy in the swimsuit round of the Top Lawyer in Scotland awards.

I’ll give them till the AGM. After that,I’ll settle for despair.
I can live with despair. I’ve despaired of successive boards for decades.

I’ve only seen one photo of Mackenzie. If it was the swimwear round,I reckon it was the moobs wot won it.
Good news for us on the Paddy Roberts front- he was subbed after 45 mins in the Stateside game vs Man U with his team already 2:0 down.
He was replaced by someone called Brahim Diaz and Pep ended up raving about the talent of another young midfielder, Phil Foden.
I hope we still have a chance to compete for his signature, so he can compete with James Forrest again.
I worry that teams like Stoke and Southampton will have money to spend having sold Aranautovic and, posibly, VVD though
We never had kit infringement fines under Ronny :-)

That’s cos most of the players were invisible in his Euro campaigns.
I see that humans may have arrived in Australia thousands of years earlier than previously thought.

Unfortunately Jo-Inge Berget was one of them- not seen by our defenders

She won’t have many opportunities again,not without a visa.
Paddy still has a bit to go.Any EPL clubs watching will know this.Cant see them spending a fortune on him.they all want the finished article.Instant success.A loan deal would seem more likely.Whats best for the boys development,sitting on the bench with some middle of the league,relegation fighting team,or CL,hopefully,with Celtic?.

Not sighted much by the fans either. Until he came up against us the following year.
Of course if the GB had turned up at Windsor Park the same posters on here giving them pelters for not going would have had a field day.
The reason UEFA don’t like any form of protest at their events is that they are every bit as questionable as the liars and cheats in the SFA and the SPFL. Cut from the same corrupt cloth unfortunately. IMO.
The problem with the GB display the other night was that it wasn’t insightful enough and didn’t highlight the collusion between the authorities and the Hun. (football and otherwise). The chosen representations proved to be a distraction from the overall message and confirmed the entrenched fears of the Loyalists that they are safer sticking with an Orange/Unionist agenda. That Celtic/Nationalism continues to be a threat.
Anyway who cares what the freeloaders and profiteers in the Directors Box think?
What happened to the £30m or so we ‘earned’ by our CL exploits last season? :)
What’s the net spend to date given the increase in SBs? Merchandising etc?

VERY good.Smiley.
I see old Nelson McCausland in the Belfast Telegraph is now taunting Michelle O’Neill and Sinn Fein over Rebel songs song by Celtic fans and, even, at the Rock Bar.
While I would love to see us tone down the needless intensity of Rebs which we hear in the modern era, I think voices like Nelson could do with a chorus or two being sung outside his house.
Nelson’s previous article seems to have ben titled “Why demonising the Orange Order flies in the face of the shared and better future we should aspire to”

Morning all
Still pretty hacked off about Wednesday. It was not the banners which offended me it was the spell just after the second goal when some old hits were belted out with such venom. I mentioned the look on my Lisburn born friend yesterday but in some ways more telling still was the reaction of a couple of Celtic supporting workmates who bith said to me ‘too much rebs last night’ (adjective omitted in one of their cases). This was Linfield we were playing – we know what they are and should know that the best way we can show how pathetically insignificant they are is to ignore them. They are as a character in The Long Good Friday said of and to Harold Shand ‘you are the sh*t on their shoes’.
I don’t know where this is leading with UEFA – I am pretty sure they are a complacent, corruot organisation but we are stuck with them so they matter- but I am sure that if and when the day comes that we get more rather more than a fine that we’ll all just say that we did as much when we were their age so they are still a great bunch of lads. As we watch recorded highlights of a game played against Juventus or Man Utd or whoever in an empty stadium.
But life goes on and Ill get the feelgood factor back soon because I don’T like being a grump

Well we got that banana-skin game out of the way without too much damage.
Confused as the why the offending “terrorist” banner was not removed by the police or club stewards.
It was in the front rows with polis a few yards away standing watching . Maybe they were thinking that a sunglasses and a beret wasnt a crime.
In Belfast the Linfield rabble had a large union flag with Big Jock ++++ emblazened across it.
Bring on Rosenberg!
These were my thoughts on the songbook as soon as I got in from game the other night.
They’re still the same this morning

The song book
Let the people sing…….
I felt it was an outpouring in response to the bigoted bonfires of vanities that played the latest part in the racist abuse of our most talented player, Buckie throwing becoming an Olympic sport for Team NI and the police-supervised singing of the famine song through the streets of Glasgow the other weekend.
