Spartak and the long road home

1014

Having disposed of Raith Rovers last night, Celtic have two huge away games, against top of the table Motherwell before a trip to Moscow for a Champions League match against Spartak in six days.

Tonight Spartak play just a few miles from the Ukraine border and have a journey of close to 1000 miles on Saturday.  It is little wonder they, like Celtic, are looking for ways to improve their injury record.

Celtic will travel to Moscow only a few hours after Spartak leave the city of Perm to journey home.  On Tuesday we will be the fresher team.  Could this be the game we break our duck away from home in the Champions League?  If we get it right on the park it will be.

I didn’t read the (incredible) statement by Charles Green until late last night, when I caught it via the excellent analysis by Paul McConville on his Random Thoughts blog.  Mr Green, Paul concludes, is “Either… stupid, which he is not, or he has decided to continue to appeal to his core support”.

There is a third alternative.  Last season we watched Craig Whyte, then Duff and Phelps, embark on a series of unfathomable actions.  Neither party was stupid, nor were their actions necessarily guided by anything as a coordinated appeal; they were simply being buffeted along by circumstances.  No one was in control, had the experience necessary or was party to a deliverable Grand Plan, resulting in a series of random utterances.

    Two cr@p teams equals one cr@p game. How can this shower be ahead of us in the league?

     

     

     

    really good question. Paul’s right, it’s a big game against them. A draw or loss and the patience over the team selection would become more difficult to sustain

  2. Richie, yes it was.

     

    We also had super Rangers, with the line”we hate Celtic, Fenian B……s” think that one comes under the new legislation as well, look forward to hearing the compliance officers comments on those.

    vile zombiehuns

  4. ibleedgreenandwhite1 on

    Don’t worry guys the BBC’s moral compass Pat Nevin will tell it like it is!!!

     

     

     

    HH

  5. Motherwell fans ( well some of them) must be as bemused as we are no one up front wants to be the scorer of a goal IMO

  6. Feckin durrant looks like a bouncer oot side clattypats

     

     

    ( clatty pats was never that run doon tho)

  7. Has green started a false rumour about free tickets so he can steal all the ticket money for himself

  8. Switched the game off as it is putrid and so is the commentary. Just read the comments here. If they are singing the famine song then compliance officer better be all over them! In sayings that, we are still awaiting outcome of them singing sectarian songs in February against Killie.

  9. The Spirit of Arthur Lee on

    Zombie fans constantly going on about attendances is like Primark phoning Harrods to say their shop is busier

    Stealing that! lol

     

     

    Excellent analogy

  12. Not sure exactly who Motherwell are playing, but I see the match officials have developed a soft spot for them.

  13. bournesouprecipe

     

     

    Tongue firmly in cheek Bourne, I have no expectation of Patrick to do the right thing, I would love to be there when Pat arrives at the gates of Heaven to be greeted by a huge Angel wearing a Celtic strip ” Hi Pat perhaps we can have a wee chat!!”

  14. TSoAL

     

     

    Belter.

     

     

    Does anyone do twatter and can they twat Nevin to ask if he heard what they were singing with their ‘great support’?

  15. If I was a Mulletwell supporter ( thanking my lucky starsI’m not) I’d be wondering wtf is going on. Top of the spl? Playing this bad? Against 4th. tier tossers managed by the pie man?

     

    Luj rules I suppose. Moisty must be a degree or two above the mullet. And the mib….well…no well at all.

     

    Again….matchfixing and betting patterns to be scrutinised.

     

    Nevin……a monkey lookin’ for a grinder.
