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.

Never heard of them,sorry.
You can tell a lot about the financial health and the general standing of a club by examining their pitchside advertising.
Man United – Chevrolet, Thomas Cook, Nike
Us – Ford, Sony, Heineken
Them – the Sandyford hotel and the Glenlusset pub.
As Nelson Muntz would have it “ha,ha.”

I don’t think OG knows what he is on about :>)

Arbroath has Pepo`s ChipShop and Pie Bob`s !!

Is it no’ furry convenient for them to have an off night playing huns while they play us at the weekend seeing as how they are top of the league,were second n the huns are in the turd division?
Come on.
TET
I think he does, he’s been bang on the money so far.
I love it when he posts on here in much the same way I love it when Rangerstaxcase tweets.
Going by the texts ive received tonight, save for a few years in the lower leagues, they really think theyve gotten away with it.
Surely theres a sting in the tail waiting to hit them.
when in the states i remember at baseball games the crowd being announced as the ‘paid attendance’ …… i think it was because companies bought many tickets which didnt get used. Would be good to see that catch on here eh!!?
..”Ally” will undoubtedly get brownie points for getting the ‘huge crowd’ line in……..
….hun….
……always on-message…
If we draw SEV/NEW/OLD CO I would expect us to have a man sent off in the first fifteen minutes. Another in the next fifteen.
Like Saturday will prove, as we watch a lack of rules being applied and a rash of bad tackles being missed, the Men In Black will be back… For us.
I think the Zombs will be fast tracked to the final though.

Thanks mate , not trying to tell anyone else what to do . Each to their own but I am getting increasingly sick of the cheating / media cover up / authority blind eye sh*** that we are made to put up with in this country .
God how I long for the day Celtic Football Club will play in a league where the only thing that matters is how good you are , not how you shake hands or what school you went to.
Sorry for the rant but I am pig sick of the crap that goes on in this country.

I did have a :>) after the post,
In saying that, I’m still waiting for the last revelation to happen :>)
Lennon n Mc….Mjallby
Obviously I can see that your argument has merit but I can see other possibilities.
Generally, however, I don`t really care too much now. I think they have had their night in the sun (!!) and this particular victory will soon become meaningless for them and won`t do McCall`s standing among the Motherwell support much good.
Got to go now but I am willing to continue the discussion another time.
Cheerio for now,
JJ
Farting Sack here I come.
zzzzzcsc
Has OG revealed when this will be revealed?
tet,
would if I could mate, times is tough
Whether playing to orders or not, the Mothers didn’t try a leg tonight .I’ve been watching football long enough to know a set-up when I see one.
No doubt Saturday will prove me right when they come out like frenzied jackals against us.
If this was Italy there would be an immediate investigation.
In Italy, McCall’s record against his former club would be a matter of huge suspicion.
Embarassing to the point of unbelievable.
If I were Motherwell director tonight, I’d be furious.
Glendalystonsils!
great minds!
italiabhoy
Spot on mate , but in this country it will be us who are paranoid.
profesional pride.
Imagine you support a team and thats the reaction from your players to being knocked out of a tournament giving you your best chance of a trophy.

Motherwell were rotten tonight against the Zombillies, we will take 4 off of them on Saturday.

He posted earlier that things have conspired against it being next week but the week after…well…
Words to that affect…
Keep the Faith!

Glendalystonsils!
great minds!
Cheers Italiabhoy.
I’m not saying there’s any kind of betting scam or sting going on (I’m not saying there isn’t either) but what we saw tonight was as morally reprehensible as anything which has gone on in Italian football.
Tell me about it.
I wish I had a spare couple of Ks, I would be snapping them up.
In hindsight, I wouldn’t have spent so much on this place, but as they say…..
Hindsight is the foresight of the gobshite :>)
You not in the big smoke these days?
Until we meet again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

I assume that is cryptic…..
I did have the :>), just trying to draw you out……you know how it works mi amigo.

My good man, when we know, we will most certainly know.
And they are going to be so, so cross.

Tie him to the railings at Motherwell cross!!!

I did a stint there a few years ago, it was a good place to work then, wouldn’t go there now, too unstable for my liking.
Depends on where you go though.
Back on the tools then ?
Thank feck I have a pension, small it may be, but enough to keep the wolf from the door, and a wee bit extra work with the leather stuff that pays for the vino.
Neil canamalar
week after next I think
C 1st. Kudos. I well remember when you confronted the rough types in the old Celtic End who were giving Mark Walters racist abuse whilst me and the Abbot cowered like wee sleekit timorous beasties….
Still and all, maybe the eejit was right. After all, who under forty even remembers there was a second world war?
The curriculum for GSC history down your way no doubt substituted in depth study of Sturm und Drang Warfare with The Societal Impact Of Post War Urban Regeneration, with particular emphasis on Milton Keynes and Telford, some time back.
Rock , particularly of a Metal flavour, has always flirted with Nazi symbolism. Kiss were criticized when touring Germany, for the SS style of the last two letters of their name and made to alter it for the duration of their stay. They still keep it to this day elsewhere though. Jimmy Page at least had the excuse of being smacked out of his nut when he donned a Gestapo Cap and Jodphurs when playing Chicago in 1977. David Bowie , in his Thin White Duke period, was almost overt in his sympathy for Third Reich Chic.
So there’s nothing new under the sun.
What if he’d turned nasty instead of emoting all over your ass and lamped you one though? How would you have explained that to Mrs. First and the Firstettes?
