Shuffling for spare seats in Lisbon Lions, Mikael’s woes

398

I’m loving the positivity which surrounds season ticket sales at the moment. You can imagine staff at the Ticket Office bouncing into work these days to deal with another new scenario. Today’s news is that a deadline of this Friday has been made for existing season ticket holders to relocate to the newly opened Upper Lisbon Lions section, before the remaining seasons are made available.

There’s now a high probability that Celtic and Hearts will both have waiting lists for season tickets, with Aberdeen not far behind. Even Hibs are felling their own Irish manager effect, as they target 10,000 ticket sales.

Pretty gutted Mikael Lustig retired at half time in Sweden’s game against Ireland yesterday because of a groin injury. Injury has been the story of Mikael’s life over the last couple of years, which will cast a shadow over the rest of his career. Sweden can continue to select him, when fit, but Celtic will need to cater for the reality that he may miss a lot of football going forward.

It’s also unlikely that he’ll attract a transfer (or sail through a medical). With the right levels of rest and preparatory work, he should be able to compete at the top level for another three years at least, but for much of that time Mikael is destined to be a bit part player.

    SFTB – you need to dampen down your son’s expectations – that’s a clear case of “palpable error”.

     

     

    Even 35/1 would have been generous.

     

     

    Sorry.

    On a slightly different note.

     

     

     

    Looking at the starting eleven for Iceland. Every surname ends in ‘son’.

     

     

     

    Possibly not unique for them. But a curiosity nevertheless.

     

     

     

    Not really a “curiosity”. Everyone is either a Son or a Dottir. That is how Icelandic names are constructed. Simples.

    Even curisor – the Icelandic word for son is sonur

  8. The Dottirs will be getting well rogered by the Sons after that brilliant result tonight!!!

  9. Everyone now played one game in Euros, most impressive team Croatia. The tournament experts Germany and Italy not far behind.

    I was wondering how long it would take.

    My Grandad Delaney from Sligo said the name was of Laney from France. So I have recently found out that I am a Lithuanian, Polish,Irish, Frenchman, born in Scotland. All that matters is my love for Celtic though. :)

     

    Hope you and your beautiful family are well.

  13. Ronaldo showing his class at the end straight of the pitch, no handshakes. Had to be told to go and applaud the Portuguese fans, which he did half heartidly.

    My Dad’s family is Lithuanian, seem plenty about.

     

     

    I prefer to highlight my Mum’s Scandic genes ;O)

    The action never was in London. There is no need for further advertising on this.

     

     

    What comes next will need funding.

     

     

    However thanks to their efforts we never made the Guardian or the Herald so we have the resources to support the Res 12 guys.

     

     

    If anyone is unhappy about this we will give a proportional refund as we delivered on the most important ad – the one in Switzerland.

     

     

    You know the one they said was meant to be in French.

     

     

    Manchester is a city whose citizens – even the ones working abroad – remember them. How could they forget? Anytime I saw Coronation Street, no one spoke French.

     

     

    J’aurais tort.

    Watching the Iceland lads and crowd during their Anthem, feeling they were loving every moment and why not. A country with a population the size of Auld Reekie and they qualified for a tournament Scotland has consistently failed to make any impact on.

     

     

    The state of our national game is a joke!! We are still paying for Souness and years of never, never largesse buying in from continetnal leagues rather than develop our own has killed off our game for a generation.

     

     

    *Only one person to blame and it’s not the beast but a rugby supporting rag and bone man who disnae have a leg tae staun on as far as the ruination of Scottish fitba is concerned.

    Hello from Sunny Orlando where holiday makers tiptoe round the elephant in the room that is the massacre at the Pulse nightclub.

     

     

    No one mentions it in public, certainly not the locals who I guess would not want to have their income affected by their right to bear arms.
