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.

  1. The Spirit of Arthur Lee on

    McCall just gave a rousing half time team talk. He’s now making his way to the Motherwell dressing room for a pee.

  2. motherwell possibly the best team that the tax dodgers could have pulled.

     

    mccall will do nothing to stick it to them, some ridiculous play from the spl leaders (how many times will we hear that from the prat in commentary)

  3. miki67-McCall knows he’s in the frame when Sally gets “pied”, he will let Forres Mechanics fire the fatal bullet.

    I got one a few years back. ignore it

     

     

    sammis’ agent just twee ted. carrgher has played 555 more games for liverpool then the rest of his team mates put together !

  5. Bhoys you have my deepest sympathy having to listen to these clowns on a regular basis, that half time was brutal, I’m away to deep fry my feet just for a wee bit of light entertainment..

  6. Wonder if the mullet will try his ten men tactics in second half?

     

    Boy with cut heid missed aboot 10 mins of first half.

  7. mhaddog Is Mise Niall Lennon on

    So have I missed Nevin’s trenchant condemnation of of the sectarion singing? Thought not.

  8. If I could afford to smash my telly I would. Boak country. Must not watch any more. Repeat to myself until I get it through my cranium.

     

    Moisty and the Mullet…..get a room,ffs.

     

    Ah’m off. Better things to do than watch that porn.

  9. Watching on Betfair video, there is no commentary, maybe that’s a good thing though.

     

    TSOAL- just beer tonight, think, and hope for my bets Motherwell do it.

  10. Glendalystonsils likes a mr whippy with his lime green jelly on

    The Mulletwell display is an indication of how effective they are when they DON’T resort to kicking the opposition. If they were to play like this against us on Saturday we would score four or five. They’ll no doubt have their steel toecaps on again though and we’ll win two one with a couple of injuries.

    I was going to say lay off the port, but SoAL beat me to it :>)

     

     

    What a howler from one of the keepers keeping our Fraser out of the engerlund squad, Foster gifts Pool a goal.

  12. jinkyredstar cuts it back for Neil Lennon on

    Motherwell will not win tonight.

     

    Higdon has never scored against thems.

     

    The Mullet has not touched them as a manager.

     

    Some honest guys playing for Morherwell

     

    Oh dear I’ve just been proved right

  13. prestonpans bhoys on

    right saw 35 mins of sevco, longest so far and enough is enough, recorded Downton Abbey, watch that instead.

     

     

    PS Lennybhoy…Supporting Neil Lennon and CFC until I die

    Is this the reason the Sevcodome has so many sevconians in attendance at home games this season?

     

     

    any more info on how they are doing this, numbers, qualifying criteria. Miss Prestonpans needs ammo for twittering sevco/huns/deedones

  14. Mr X loves having a "fly kick" on

    If Motherwell can’t beat this ensemble of hun has-beens and never-beens I demand a stewards enquiry.

    I think Motherwell will win this comfortably in the 2nd half.

     

     

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

     

     

    hope your right bud, no looking good though

  16. jinkyredstar cuts it back for Neil Lennon on

    Also I note- killer Lapsley hasn’t put the boot in tonight – watch him on Saturday

  17. Who is honestly surprised?

     

     

     

    We knew they’d win this game thanks to a variety of factors.

  18. The Comfortable Collective on

    Remember the Chris Humphrey to Celtic rumour just before the transfer window shut.

     

     

    FFS he is a complete donkey.
