Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark all possible for Celtic

947

Delighted for Aberdeen, winning away from home in Croatia is no mean feat for a Scottish club, but a 0-3 result, anywhere, is a special result.  None of the other 32 away teams could manage so much as a two goal win.

The Inverness defeat on their maiden European performance was pity, if not a surprise.  Winning your home game is regarded as the Cardinal Rule in Europe, but they have a puncher’s chance next week in Romania.  Score the opening goal and it’s anyone’s game.

Today’s draw for the Champions League 3rd round qualifier has the potential to get a bit tasty.  There are plenty of potential opponents from northern Europe with trips to Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark all possible, while Celtic are the only seed from northern Europe.  Hopefully Uefa, in their keenness for geographical neighbourliness, don’t feel the need to send us to Israel, Poland or Serbia.  If we take care of Stjarnan, of course.

  1. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Leftclicktic, Willie Collow has also put up some of Peter McDougall’ s plays on Youtube.

     

     

    There is a also a documentary about Frankie Miller I think he has put on youtube.

     

     

    There’s a bit in it where Billy Connolly says one of the times Frankie was home, Frankie told Billy he was going to see Celtic then his mother, in that order.

    Listened to both, everyday a school day, cheers, appreciated & thank you

  3. I realise I immortal each weekend, but in what web blog am I in, that I post all of McDougall’s works two weeks ago,

     

     

     

    And the bloggers start talking about them two weeks later.

  4. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Leftclicktic, my brother and I were at the home leg of the Basle/Basel game.

     

     

    We missed the first twenty minutes due to the size of the crowd that night, 72,000, ahem, the official gate.

     

     

    We ended up at the fence next to the gap where the wee blue cars for disabled drivers used to come in off Janefield Street.

     

     

    We had a great view of Tommy Callaghan scoring our third goal.

    Serious question, in no way am I trying to be funny or anything.

     

     

    You along with a few others want to bomb the feck out of ISIS, as is your wont.

     

     

    Question I ask, well it’s really a couple of questions that sort of tie in.

     

     

    I reckon that ISIS is a manufactured fear, like they have in the 1984 book, like Al Qaeda was, cos before the 911 thing, I will wager that 99.99% of the people on the planet had never heard of Al Qaeda.

     

     

    See if you bomb the feck out of them, do you honestly think that another Al Qaeda or an ISIS won’t be along soon enough ?

     

     

    Just to keep the fear alive so.

    Saint Stivs, I’m always two weeks behind everyone else lol

  8. Isis get bombed in Syria straight after Iran sign nuclear deal..Make of it what you will..It aint coincidence…Just my thoughts…

  9. Neustadt: brilliant tune, thanks. Mary started out with a group called General Humbert, I think. I have the LPs. I love her tunes from late 70s and 80s. Her family albums are also worth listening to. She has strong connections with Rathlin Island (off the North Antrim coast) and I taught her niece a few years ago. A real down-to-earth Dublin family.

    Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds – The Boatman’s Call

     

     

    ==========================================

     

     

    I was just about to sign off then went on to your link. I love Nick Cave’s songs and lyrics with The Bad Seeds and Grinderman. Seen both of them live.

     

     

    I’m a parent but I can’t even try to understand how he’s feeling after the death of his son Arthur.

     

     

    It’s horrible and makes me shiver just thinking about it.

     

     

    Keep your family close and let them know that you love them.

    I always think Mary Black looks so sad when she sings.

     

    Those eyes of hers are so distant and deep, like she has seen too many sad times and is haunted by them.

    Almore ….you don,t let up on my poor wee heart!…

     

    .Dad was from Antrim..Cois Abhann Dalla…foot of the river …and Mary was one of his favourites …he died a year ago last Sunday….same day as Weefra,s mum …god bless them…

  20. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    St Stivs, after we won the league in 1982, Tommy Burns went up in my estimation even more, if that was possible. He broke off from the other players’ celebration and went round those in the blue invalid cars, shaking their hands and talking to them.

     

     

    He and Davie Hay did the same with wheelchair bound Celtic fans after the 1985 cup final.

     

     

    We all miss Tommy so much but more importantly, not as much as his family.

    Thank you for this….

     

     

     

    Always remember his ambivalence to Fergus McCann….

     

     

     

    He told him to go out the back door that day

     

     

    Oor Tam , on the day of his of sacking , told the little Shyster that he would leave via the door he first came in.
