VFR800 IS NOW A MONSTER 821 on 2ND AUGUST 2017 10:43 PM
Thank you very much. Thelurkintim, thank.
WITS
If the final qualifier is like this round not sure I’ll be around for the group stages.
I’m much calmer at the game, when it’s on tv I spend half the time walking in and out of the room . Even been known to switch it off for a minute hoping it will get us a goal .
See this supporting Celtic, puts bloody years on you.

I worked in Germany for 9 months.
Brilliant volk. Still keep i touch with Werder Bremen and Bayern Munchen pals. They come to our games in mainland Europe and Paradise.

May I ask you very serious question, why Legia banner is moronic?
………………………….
The Legia banner was absolutely Not moronic. Poles have every right to remember the 160 000 fallen in the Warsaw Ghetto. We have banners celebrating an older struggle. I have been in Berlin twice in the last two years and was shocked to learn that the Nazis planned to liquidate the entire Polish population. I would, however, agree that it might have been better to replace the word ‘German’ with ‘Nazis’.
My experience of German people and Polish people has only been positive.

————————–
How do you think a 12 year German kid will feel if they see that?
I felt it was moronic as you don’t need to use a gun to some child’s head to get a message across.
I’m fairly certain in discussions to design the tifo they had the choice of a positive message or a negative one, as usual the negative was the route we all take.

I like the Germans; good people in the main and fond of a wee beer or twelve!
Love Berlin, it’s a magic city!

Im sure the interviewer was Esplin,who asked if NB could play centre half in the SPL BR said what do you think,he has just played away from home in the Champions League then stupid question. Well done Brendan my hero.
WARNING- When the verbal abuse to LG at the airport video was online, Esplin’s name was mentioned on here.He ‘works’ for PA and will be a Level 5 diehard. Which begs the LG set up? Why would he record LG at Glasgow Airport? Because Esplin had an accomplice to abuse LG , and hope for a reaction….allegedly.A couple of things will be distracting BR just now IMO, the zero security, how much is Hawthorne on? And no filter wirh the clowns with the questions, our PR guy is a Jambo.Can we not get more professional, and Celtic minded guys to fill these roles?
But it seemed BR knew who this fud Esplin was, and didn’t miss, he has the power to chase these huns IMO.
The Timreaper @ 9:57pm – hilarious.
OK, so I am a slow reader.
Watching sky sports news.
Everybody knows I am not a golf fan.
But maybe I worked out tonight. Its golfers not golf I don’t like.
Rory McIlroy interview about letting his breast pal Addie go was self indulgent shite.
No doubt the BBC have it in for celtic , not even trying to hide it now . With regards to rob McLean , did he not compare the Lisbon concert in may . Andy Cameron must have been busy that night .
Great goal from wee jamesy tonight . But still a bit of improvement needed , it will be tougher in the next round .

I watched the Zoo Keepers Wife last night. Harrowing.

Legia banner was not against anyone, or any nation. It was to commemorate victims and heroes and to remember history.
Some say it would be better if it said “Nazis”
There is no nation Nazis, no country Nazis, no race Nazis. It was Dritte Reich, in another words Germany.
You would think Mercedes is German, Beckenbauer is German, but Nazis were dwarfs from Mars or from somewhere else.

Not long home from a packed happy boozer in Sth Ayrshire . One word springs to mind regarding that performance . Mentality .
The self belief is now growing . No matter the sport , or the occasion , without self belief , you will struggle . Bring on the next round . Brendan earned his salary tonight .
What a goal from the scapegoat . Sleep well Timland . HH
.
Talking of banners, was great to see the Temple Tims Basque flag at the game. On a close up, I expected to see my mates I grew up with. Instead, I recognised all my mate’s sons. Felt my age :))
Berlin…..squirrel…..ok…..am of to see the Apes win the World….c y’all brothers & sisters in at the other side ;-))
Woop woop ;-))

Correction…
Having had another wee look at the results tonight alongside Bert Kassies site, I now reckon that Apoel and Maribor will be seeded in the Champions’ draw, so the revised list of possible opponents will be as follows…
Qarabag (Azerbaijan)
Astana (Kazakhstan)
Rijeka (Croatia)
Hapoel Be’er Sheva (Israel)
Slavia Prague (Czech)
Hmmm. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, again! That looks like a potentially tricky bunch, with a good few air miles on offer. Any preferences?…
Bada
The first link I saw from Glasgow airport was on here and from Esplin, I agree working in tandem with someone who can then disappear, if you shouted paedo outside at someone you risk getting lifted for Breach of the peace, yet this guy probably is now on his holidays, Im sure they will get him from CCTV on his way back into the country, surely?
Jozo nailed his place tonight … The next CB needs to fit with him.
Bitton is like big Sami in my mind. Kind of wasted in domestic football but reveals his quality in Europe/ big games. I have my doubts BR sees him fitting in to the style of football he’s trying to develop. He’s quality though no doubts.
Griff rams it down the throat of every critic he’s ever had … I just rate him so highly as a player.
Tidy result in the end for us where Celtic eventually proved a better side than Rosenborg with some excellent displays and a great finish from James Forrest who worked a flanker by putting his laces through the ball for once.
Proved a masterful switch from BR where many would have been tempted to make it man for man with Hayes when he brought on Leigh Griffiths but switched Jamesie to his normal role, after a hard shift as a centre.
Celtic blossomed as soon as we scored and should have added to the scoreline to give it a more deserved look.
Erik Sviatchenko was risked because of his experience at the expense of Ajer but broke down and it could be his last look at the first team. Several players are still off the pace including Scott Sinclair and Stuart Armstrong who was poor by his standard.
Celtic will be sharper and have at least one fit striker by the time we play the final round and won’t need to win away to further improve BR’s obvious Euro credentials.

Wether you agreed with the Legia Tifo or not,it AS an amazing Tifo.Artistic wise.

I’ve still not seen anything that lifts Dembele above Griff, I can certainly see the untapped potential in Dembele but as players right now Griff is better.
BIGCHIPSUK – 10 IN A ROW (2001-2010) on 2ND AUGUST 2017 10:57 PM
A few posts regarding what comes next; here’s my interpretation, using Bert Kassies as a source…
Bert now been updated …
4th Qualifying Round for Champions (10 teams)
Seeded teams coef.
Olympiakos Piraeus Gre 64.580
Celtic Sco 42.785
FC København Den 37.800
APOEL Nicosia Cyp 26.210
NK Maribor Slo 21.125
Unseeded teams coef.
Garabag Agdam Azb 18.050
FK Astana Kaz 16.800
NK Rijeka Cro 15.550
Hapoel Beer-Sheva Isr 10.875
Slavia Praha Cze 8.135
And as we are now top coefficient in Pot 4, if Liverpool, Olympiakos or Napoli go out , we go into Pot 3
a) Don’t think Legia will be punished
b) Germans occupy few positions of influence in UEFA
c) Germans are renowned for their sense of humour and easy going manner
d) NONE OF THE ABOVE
Zbyszek
Thank you my friend. One minute.
Warsaw 1944.
When Griff came on…..Jamesie came alive. Wee pals.
BSR- Pretty much agree with that, i thought Simunovic looked the best player by a mile, honourable mentions to Euro old timers Brown and Lustig.Armstrong looked frustrated all night, and showed it unusually, maybe the contract thing is in his play now, ball in his court.Been offered great money but sees guys coming in , unproven on more…
Considering the time of our season, the injuries we have tonights performance gives me plenty to be cheerful about:))
Roll on Friday till we see who were playing next..

embramike supporting Res 12 on 2nd August 2017 10:49 pm
Signing deadline for Play Off round is Monday 7 August 2017 (24.00CET) plus the usual caveat of a wild card of one new eligible player by 24.00CET on the day before the relevant first-leg match (15/16 Aug).
Any suggestions ???
===================
I hear Neymar might be available but we need cover at CB and CF.
LG looked electric when he came on, to be gently managed before next round

Jozo is my hero now. Love the big man. Threw his tender parts and every part of his huge body at everything tonight. Nir beside him was immense too, when he came on.
I thought the legia tifo was an incredible image.
Its up to that support to decide what they want to display.
Nazi or fascists would maybe have been more accurate.
Because there were many that killed polish people for that doctrine who were not German.
