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. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Off to sleepy valley now, reconciled to the fact that they have (finally) got JUSTICE coming to them …… The long wait is nearly over……. Any other club IN THE WORLD who involved themselves in this level of corruption, (which they KNOWINGLY indulged in) would be well ‘gone’ by now….

     

     

    Don’t understand at all why BDO are taking so long to finally liquidate them formally ….. Hopefully, they are simply ‘crossing the T’s, and dotting the eyes’ …

     

     

    ….and I hope the SFA now appreciate the folly of trying to save them ( for the good of Scottish Football..????) ………. The ‘good’ of Scottish Football will be best served when they are finally gone from our midst, (as the angel said to Satan ……!!!!!!!!)

  2. “For the avoidance of doubt, Sevco 5088 Limited bought the assets of the Rangers Football Club and then transferred them to Sevco Scotland Limited.”

     

     

    When BDO arrive they will find there is nothing left to transfer back to the creditors.

     

     

     

    On that note, Good night and God bless.

    I have noticed as have others you have used the word cross as opposed to angry, cos they are as sure as eggs are eggs, angry, then you say GAZA……..

     

     

    Way too cryptic for me, I will dream on it……

  4. The exiled Tim.

     

    Ye was beginning to come to that conclusion.

     

    No doubt il face off a lot of smug huns tommoro.

     

    Il enjoy the banter!

     

    They still don’t realise theyr dead.

     

    When the titles go itl sink in.

    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?

     

     

    Exactly what I was thinking.Prime responsibility?

    Hope you feel equally insulted by fascist communist sloganeering.

    When do Campbell Ogilvie and Wattie Smith make the draw?

    Thank you. Mrs First and girls would just have taken one look and said: “Unable to keep your mouth shut on the train again?”

    A wee bit of sense & reality in the midst of a sea of delusion.

     

    I thought I was in a minority of ONE.

     

     

    I hope we are not as silly & churlish as a lot of tonight’s posts suggest.

     

    Motherwell were red rotten.

     

    But not because they did not want to win, or were sent out to lose.

     

    They were just a team who are used to losing to Rangers.

     

    They expected to get beat.

     

     

    How many of those who are now saying that they KNEW Motherwell would lie down had a SERIOUS bet on Rangers ?

     

    I am prepared to bet that the answer is NONE.

     

    Rangers won easily because they wanted it & NEEDED it more than ‘Well.

     

    No conspiracy.

     

    No match fixing.

     

    Nothing to do with the officials.

     

    They won because they were the better of two poor teams.

     

     

    Rant over.

    OG RAFFERTY

     

     

    about a year ago, someone wound us up in a similar fashion to your current ‘tease’ ……. Was it you then….? …… If it was, you’re a bad mhan…….I think I knownwhatbyou are alluding to.

     

     

    Greengo thinks he has secured the assets, but BDO have the legal power / authority to nullify this transaction on liquidation, allowing them to seize / sell the assets obo the creditors, (since the assets were part of the estate being liquidated, and should never have been sold for £1 whilst the mountain of debt existed, and while being reported in the accounts at a much higher value….go on, tell me I am wrong ……

  12. OG

     

     

    Gazza left the dead club to join middlesburgh in 1998 it must be something to do with that we know middlesburgh liked EBTS as well ?

    You are possibly correct …….. But I prefer to believe that their manager did not do his job pre-match…….on purpose, letting his club down badly ……. Bhuns just can’t help themselves

    When do Campbell Ogilvie and Wattie Smith make the draw?

     

     

    From prison, if they delay it a few weeks…….. LOL

  15. KK

     

     

    What would you term as a serious bet ?

     

     

    I stuck a decent wedge on them tonight, what I considered a decent wedge,I thought it was free money.

     

     

    I lost more than I won tonight BTW, not by much, but still lost.

     

     

    Only going by the mullets track record against them, it seems that you and JJ are in a minority of 2.

     

     

    I suppose we can all be wrong most of the time when it comes to the mulletwell, but the stats tell me different, and you fine well know about stats :>)

  16. Marrakesh Express on

    We get reported for a joke banner which was photoshopped but there wont be a mention of the usual hun bile tonight. Possibly the worst soup taker ever, Nevin, yet again bottles out of it.

  17. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    I said an hour ago I was going to bed….will leave you with this………if we draw them in the next round, I won’t be there………and if it’s at iPox, we should ALL stay away ….. Good noyt !!

    You may have a point but there’s a difference between being used to losing to them and seeming to be quite happy to lose to them which doesn’t seem quite right.

     

    Maybe they are all just the best of pals……..you know the sort of thing…………It’s no loss what a friend gets………

    You have to be very careful with all this technology around.

     

     

    For someone who has a profile, inappropriate action at the wrong time can be very embarrassing. You just never know if someone is filming you or recording you.

  21. 67Heaven, 22:58

     

    I have never posted anything on here, unlike others, that I didn’t have first hand evidence of. Sometimes things may not make it onto the news for a variety of reasons but that does not mean they are untrue. My posts of this evening I know to be based on fact. They will not be earth shattering in the great scheme of things but of great pleasure nonetheless

  22. Saltires en Sevilla

     

     

    It been full since Sunday morning even doing lockins drunk out now but 1 last try

  23. That lot are being propped up and exhumed at every fabricated good news opportunity. Meanwhile the Celtic support diminishes giving them further succour.

     

     

    Lies have become facts in this cheat’s paradise.

     

     

    Had the misfortune of watching the post match analysis by Nevin, enough to make you boak. But he’s typical of the media lickspittles we have in abundance.

     

     

    The hot air being expelled about their world record attendances would be very easily dispelled by Celtic fans turning up for games.
