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.

    I like the way the media are bumming up warburton it will make the crash even better, the orcs are lapping it up like they have the next jock stein and are ready to take Europe by storm, with McCoist McDowell and Mrs doubtfire they kind of new they where going to fail with this clown they think they’ve found “the one”, I also liked how the media had Ronny down as a dud after 4 games, it just made his success even better so let them carry on talking up ‘warbo’ and the Hun fantasies and we’ll keep winning the trophies with our dud Ronny HH

     

     

    Agreed .I can also see Stubbsts Hibs doing a Hearts and running away with this league.I really like the additions he has made,added to the players from last season.The boy Carmicheal from QOTS is a terrific buy.Him,Allan,and Fyvie,look a different class to anything Sevco can muster.Solid enough at the back,and with Cummings and a couple of new players added up front will romp this league.IMO of course.

    Quiet day planned in Swindon for a change.

     

     

    Not so much next week as I’m meeting DELANEYS DUNKY.

     

     

    I’ve told a few guys that story about the horizontal trees and they don’t believe me!

     

     

    Btw,I’m sure The Ayrshire Tims AGM will toast us as absent friends today.

  4. If anyone wants to know what “Lots wife”looked like,there is an icon of her next to the Pepper pot in any condiments set.

  5. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Blantyretim, your dad and Charlie looked quite contented at the end of the game.

     

     

    If anyone was moaning it was me about the number of chances we missed.

     

     

    I was glad I could tell my son who your dad and Charlie were and their respective places in our team’s history.

    The Shamrock…..thank’s for posting that,I remember travelling

     

    with the Peter Scarff csc through to Methil for a SC tie in the early

     

    80’s,think we won 6-0, they were a very civilised lot….well compared

     

    to us rough Paisley types.

  8. Is this the reason for The Clumpany being away from twitter for a while?

     

     

    Bartin Main ‏@OfficialBartin 53m53 minutes ago

     

    Hearing rumours that The Clumpany has been arrested by the cops who are currently investigating Whyte, Ellis, Betts etc. Developing.

  9. Wow.

     

     

    Downpatrick, a Heavenly place.

     

     

    I concur with one of the maist Humblest of persons I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. 16 roads, he is sleeping right noo.

    You just know some hun fascist is looking at the Queen doing the Nazi salute and thinking; this is it, this is what Combat 18 needed all along. Even the Queen understands our Nazi ethos. This will help the recruitment drive.

     

     

    Probably Lynsey Sharp thinking it.

    Sun’s managing editor says the paper went to great lengths not to show “them” in a bad light. Must be some images we’re no seeing

  12. Petec: Hope you get into the mountains of Mourne, a really beautiful place, as is the coast in the Down area. Was close to it yesterday in Carlingford.

    There’s a shack on the cliffs there which is a fantastic restaurant,apparently. I’ll try to find the details.

     

     

    Have a grand time wi The Emerald Prince.

  14. Almore,

     

     

    Talking about the Mountains of Mourne, my grandmother hailed from Hilltown.

     

     

    I spent many a happy holiday there as well as Warrenpoint an Newry as a teenager

     

     

    Took Paul67 and Kevin there in the late 1990s.

  15. What’s the fuss about a German family practising Nazi salutes in 1933? Surely a common occurrence back then. Not exactly a ” man bites dog” type of story.

    Even I who eulogise the GhodLikeGenuisofGeorgiosSamaras would say no to this move Davie bhoy.

     

     

    Not a Ronnie type of player at all.

     

     

    Wish him luck and a club that loves him as much as some of us did.

     

     

    Need a new talisman.

    Where do the The Rangers get the million pounds they are supposed to have offered for Stevie May ? if its true they must have funding from an unkown source. H.H.

    Season ticket money ?

  20. Generally, Sevco are doing the right thing by signing a bunch of nobodies. They should have been doing it the last three years rather than wasting money on monster munch etc.

     

     

    The Stevie May one baffles me. Can only see it as a loan deal.

  21. The Stevie May thing sounds dodgy, was this story in the North Korean daily’s? Million pound my arse, and all those letters being hand delivered, aye right.

    I always reckoned that there was a cash courier service to Govan via the Port of Larne.
