Make no mistake this game tomorrow is no forgone conclusion . The performance of our defence the past few weeks has seen to that . I thought they looked a decent team ,and looked especially good on the ball . Normally with a three goal lead I would be 100% confident ,but this team will test us . Apologies for talking football .

‘Remember the away leg of the Stuttgart tie during the Seville season?’

I remember Bonnie Tyler doing the pre match entertainment. It’s all a bit vague after that.

Yer helluva repetitive wi a meaningless expression.
Seethe?
Wtf.

Listen,pal. One thing you do not do under any circumstances whether it be in person face to face behind my back or online is call me rightwing.
You don’t know me. I don’t know you. I think your single issue content on the whole five days you’ve been on here is a mark of you.
A polite way of saying that I think yer a prick,and yer offer to join us on the hootenanny,well,I doubt you would be so mouthy off the iPad.
Your shout
Sooooooooooooooo, back tae the fitba’.
I’ve been busy all weekend and never got a chance to post. Very creditable performance on Saturday, bearing in mind we have struggled a wee bit in Perth recently. Wee Jaimsie was brilliant yet again and Sinclair and the Griffalo are showing just how much of a problem they will be to defences in the SPFL this season.
I know wee Jaimsie’s goal was brilliant, but the one that stood out for me was Sinclair’s. Forrest shoots, keeper saves; Griffalo follows up and shoots, keeper saves; Sincalir follows up and scores! Fantastic to see the front men swarming in on goal and reacting so quickly.
Switched off a wee bit (understandably) in the second half and nearly got mugged – naïve from Liam Henderson at the penalty, but overall I was very pleased with his contribution. Also very pleased that unlike previous seasons when we snatched a draw from the jaws of victory, we went on and closed the game out by getting a 4th goal!
Was it a booking for Griffiths? Probably though it galls me to say it? Was it a booking for Forrest? Never in a million years. I think it was a case of mistaken identity, so I’m glad he booked Jaimsie rather than Griffiths who was involved with the fans, otherwise he’d have been sent off!
Be’er Shiva tomorrow night. I’d bet tempted to go with the starting line up from Saturday with the possible exemption of Henderson in for Rogic. Depends if we want to go all in as the banner says or keep it a wee bight tighter because they have to come out and we can catch them on the break. I reckon it will be a victory for us, a 2-1 or 3-1. As soon as we get a goal (which we will) they need to score 4 which I feel is way beyond them. Even our string vest defence won’t ship 4 goals tomorrow night!

If tomorrow night is like that I might expire…
Still if we got the same overall result I’d be happy…provided I hadn’t expired of course…

It’s funny you mention that game.
I was there and after we got a couple of early away goals I thought “Good, now I can just enjoy myself”
They still needed another 2 goals when the final whistle went but I was shocked to see my dad so on edge.
I guess the nerves go with age

Forgot about that. It was more heart burn than a heart-ache that night for Celtic…
Can I get a job with a red top writing headlines?
I don’t have a timmy soundin name or nuthin…
BMCUWP – a happy birthday to yer mum! You are right, when they are gone, you do miss them!

What a blinding example of hypocricy.
All these marvellous humanitarian principled people ganging up to stick the verbal boot into one guy.
………..
Would that be Tony D or Saor Uladh you are referring to
Jimtim: I agree. We have improved up front but we need to put in n a solid performance defensively tomorrow night. Unless of cours
Im still rather nervous about tomorrows game.
Can we get back to arguing about flags and trolls please:)

I was watching it on TV and had to keep telling my mum that Stuttgart needed another two goals. Even in injury time she was having an “Annie Rooney”…

Aye the switching off at the back is what worries me. Posted last night – it’s happened in the past 2 x games. Too small a sample to talk about a pattern developing??
Never trust trolls especially ones carrying flags.
Wary of bridges too, crafty beggars are trolls :-)

‘Forgot about that. ‘

How could you forget that?
The MC asking her which side she would be supporting and her response “I’m a Celt at heart.”
Has anybody seen Big Mick McCarthy’s comments after the Old Farm Derby? Hilarious. I’d have him as Celtic manager just to see what he had to say about the press and the referees.
I’d like to see Sir Warbmeister try to lecture him on professional etiquette
______
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/aug/21/ipswich-norwich-east-anglian-derby-match-report
Ipswich were neither passive nor agricultural against their local rivals and McCarthy was certainly forthcoming after the game when asked if their performance would have eased fans’ concerns.
“I get sick to death,” he said. “We play one bad half [at Brentford] and we’re all shit and can’t play. ‘The manager doesn’t care, get somebody who cares,’ I’m ‘a boring cunt’ – somebody called me that last week. I wish they would say it to my face on my own because his pint of lager, he’d have been wearing it.
“Let me tell you, if that’s what they think about me and my team then they are sadly mistaken. I’m not having that and it does hurt me. Up and down like a bloody fiddler’s elbow – I’m all right one week but I’m not the next.”
____
Knudsen’s right foot is generally used for little more than the proverbial; this time, after Norwich had failed to defend a long throw correctly, he had enough trust in its ability to let fly from outside the area and restore parity.
“I didn’t buy him for that,” McCarthy said. “It’s akin to my left foot. He does all the shitty jobs, gets up and down, so it’s nice for him to get some love for scoring against Norwich.”
___
“If that is the case then I’ll be battering PGMOL’s door down again on Monday morning with a tirade of: ‘Hey, any chance of us getting a decision?’” he said of Professional Game Match Officials Limited. “No I won’t – I’ll be doing it tonight on their answering machine.”

Think i’ll pass, washing my toenails that night.
My iPad is going bonkers on me.
Jimtim: Unless we score a couple of early goals first.

——————————————————-
I don’t think it’s a pattern, more the fact that we have a number of young lads in the team. Lack of concentration at crucial times in the game and not being game-smart enough is my opinion. Henderson didn’t need to make the tackle at the penalty, and I’m sure in 2 seasons time he won’t make a tackle in that position; he will keep on his feet and make the player work.
Overall, I’m happy enough and still don’t see them troubling us too much tomorrow. Remember, we have Erik the Viking to shore up the defence if we are rocking a wee bit and Paddy Roberts to bring on if we need to attack more; possibly even a cameo role for 20 minutes in behind Griffiths and Sinclair to pull their midfield back a wee bit and narrow the game in the middle of the park.
I still think we have done enough and the game is well beyond them.

BMCUW…
Happy birthday greetings to your mammy.I’ve naw met you but if your posts are anything to go by she produced a true tim.Many hoopy returns to her good self.
I’ll be back at work before there is a new article
‘ Now you must raise our child with big Marie ‘
Donated to the fundraiser, however better we keep politics away from Celtic park, why not just set that up in the first place?
Stuttgart was a blast, arranged a “meeting” in Stuttgart that week. Served beet at the fitba’ but non alcoholic, what the point o’ that?
Walking back after the game we went for a kebab where they did sell real beer in the takeaway.
A bunch of Celtic fans on hands and knees holding on to the guy in fronts ankles were crossing the road on a pelican crossing in a chain to get to the said kebab shop when the Polis drove along the road. Rather than get off the road they “reversed” back across the the road to block the Polis.
The Polis were pissing themselves!
Flight back to Glasgow via Birmingham with a hangover was a long one!

Dont think the game is beyond them….3-0 will do it.
Although, they will need to play incredibly well.
But its far from impossible.
We are not there yet.
Cautious optimism yes, but i wouldnt say its a cert.

A very happy birthday to yer dear mammy!

Hope so. Hard not to feel a little nervous though! :-))
Beery 2-0 too the good tomorrow night on the 90th minute and Nir Bitton to score the goal that takes Celtic through to the riches of the group stages oooooft
new article posted.

When was the last time Celtic lost a Euro tie having won 1st leg by 3 clear goals?
1963 I think, to Ferencvaros when Bob Kelly was picking the team.
No danger of us going out to Be’er Sheva.

I pretty much agree with your comments. I also agree with a lot of what TD67 says.
I do however, have a couple of questions, just in general and not directly to you.
A. Who is administering this GoFund account?
B. How do we know the money is going where its supposed to?
I’m not suggesting its not going to where its supposed to, i’m just saying how do we KNOW?
i know the 2 mentioned charities exist, ive been on they’re web sites you can donate there if you wish.
So why would I want a third party to donate MY money for me? Just askin like!
HH, enjoy your day.

The polis were brilliant that day. Big blonde femail cops lafin their asses off when wee Celt supporters wi bottles of wine were trying to dance wi them in the Schloss Platz . Hilarious. They though we were brilliant fans.
Remember Didier scooting down the right wing and crossing in for a goal. Thommo maybe. There was no need to worry; we were never in danger.
