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.

    Happy birthday Gerry

     

    All humans should be drowned at birth. That would put an end to war hunger and injustice

  2. gerryfaethebrig, you share your birthday with my young son. Full new away kit awaits him down stairs when he gets up as well as a GAA kit from one of the six counties. Cant wait to see his face. Happy birthday gerry. TAL

    I’ve obviously been away too long … I understood more of the omara song than the one by Hamish (and I dont speak a word of spanish!)

    My daughter (6yr old) looks forward to her trip to Celtic shop Father’s Day, Ma Birthday & Christmas, I might be 45 but quite like the green strip with the white pinstripes but back when I was a kid the white strip with green pinstripes was the business

    Gerry … as you say, there are some really good lads on here … hopefully, I will get the chance to put a few faces to the blog names in September….

     

     

    JQB …. his album with Burt Bacharach is one of my favourite albums… and probably the saddest album I have ever heard …

    Here’s a wee Chou Pharot song for ye. You may no like it but it’s yours to

     

     

    ACGR – I appreciated that it made as much sense as sitting next to you at Cqn11, sort of enjoyed it but didn’t really understand it ?????

     

    If that makes sense

     

    Cheers & Hail Hail

  14. WITS,

     

    Drowning is too good for them, a good boot up the arse they need

     

    Kill all humans

     

    Acgr,

     

    My genius plan is to starve the zombies, if there’s nothing for them to eat they disappear

     

    Kill all humans

     

    I might have to think this through a wee bit more but until then

     

    Kill all humans

    Brawbhoy, did you see the news on Alyth, pretty epic stuff. The river burst its banks. Cars washed down the high street, peoples houses under water and months of sorting out the wee place. A real shame for all affected but thankfully nobody hurt.

     

     

    BTW, see if they played the open at a proper golf course, none of that shit that went on this morning would have happened, I blame Peter Lawwell and we Nicky for recruiting the St Andrews green keepers.

  19. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    Gerryfaethebrig, aye I should probably have sent you a Debbie Harry song but I was thinking about an old pal today (violinist in Chou Pahrot, Marty the Monster McKenna aka the McKenna monster) and was utubin when I saw it was your birthday. If you dont want it I can get you yer money back.

     

    I was the most sober one at your tables, Tommy B asked me why I was hanging about wi 19 drunks that night. Honest he did…………………………..:_)

     

     

    Hope you are well pal.

    WTF?

     

     

    Nay bother braw. Some of my best pals are gaybobs and total benders BTW. Take Sipsini for example. Great guy but as bent as an arabs dagger. Still, a great fella though and sometimes gets a round in when it’s his turn. But only sometimes.

     

     

    When you home next? We can take this to the next level……………..oan the hallowed links of crawsnestie:_)

  22. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    I whole heartedly retract that last post. I’ve just received four texts rapid telling me it was wrong.

     

     

    I should have known there was an apostrophe missing from gaybob’s.

     

     

    Damnit or Damn’it or Damn it.

  23. Neustadt-Braw on

    never under estimate an Arabs Dagger ….ghirls are wild for that shape …so I am told ..

     

     

    although the short shock does as weel in Carmylie ….

     

     

    we really have to get drunk….don,t waste any numbered shoite on me …am more of a braw company bhoy …

    Everything good here, the look on your face that night when you realised you were the only whisky drinker between the two tables, I still can’t believe there were loads of miniatures left considering your pockets were bulging (with whisky) those Coatbrig, Blantir, Wishy bhoys talk a good game, if it was voddie I would have drank the lot but still can’t believe you left the rest of that whisky stuff, hoping to make Dublin but just back trying to earn a wage

    Leftclicktic, the Kilkelly song was first posted by shady. A great and very poignant song that’s still very relevant today to anyone who misses family, me included.

     

     

    I posted it dozens of times afterwards and always credited it our man who left for Oz.

    Gerry, still working on Dublin 2016 myself. I’m thinking of flying to Cork with some fishing sticks and strangling a few fine Irish trout before heading up for the hootenanny. It’s all very much in the planning phase though:_)

     

     

    The best laid plans and all that.

  27. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    Hold on deleting that P67, I’ve just had a fifth text telling me that in fact gaybob plural doesn’t require an apostrophe.

     

     

    And hes ingish is brilyint.
