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’m sure Italian sides will be concerned if they draw a Welsh team …Wales are several places ahead of Italy in the rankings after all

  2. Car serviced, new break pads and a couple of types bought, MOT passed, car washed and a brilliant all round service courtesy of Paddybhoy1888. Just mention CQN to get a similar service and a great CQN price too!

  3. Jumbo67, any team with a “z” in their name is a potential banana skin. But revenge missions aside, I’m confident that we’d be too good for APOEL Nicosia and I am sure we could master BATE were that necessary.

    Hope you don’t mind me asking, but do you know whereabouts in the city the Sydney Tims meet up to watch Celtic games and have a few beers?

    Can’t understand all the congratulations to Aberdeen on winning last night. Their vile chants when they play us sicken me.

     

    If you want an average Aberdeen fans views on us have a look at the AberdeenMad site !

  14. Oops, they’re saying they were bombing ISIS in Syria against the will of parliament. Just goes to show how little democracy is respected once the torys are in place

  15. Jimbo67

     

     

    Ta much, I’ll pass that on, and hopefully an exiled Celtic mhan will get along to enjoy some good Tim company in his fairly-new (to him) city!

     

     

    Hail Hail!

    FK Rudar Pljevlja (commonly known as FK Rudar or simply Rudar) is a football club based in Pljevlja, Montenegro. It currently plays in the First League of Montenegro, the country’s highest tier.

     

    The club is run by the Šarić brothers, Darko and Duško and, according to Keith Jackson, their wealth is off the Rudar.

    Itscalledthemalvinas, I work in Aberdeen and there are five aberdeen SB holders in my office. Not once have any of these guys made any kind of vile comment to me (well not in relation to Celtic:-)

     

     

    I take these guys to be my idea of the average aberdeen supporter and emailed them all on their team’s effort last night.

    Macjay, the hun golfer was doing well for a while earlier and was in the lead at one point.

     

     

    He’s called The Mark Warren.

    Are there really no circumstances, no situations, that you would have the west intervene, in this dangerous world we live in?

     

     

    Please no subjective takes on history, let’s deal with the world today.

     

     

    For the millions who queue round the clock at US and British embassies, around the world, and those ‘under the heel’ of many oppressive regimes, do we just tell them that we are ‘sitting on our hand’s forever more?

     

     

    What would happened to the ONE MILLION in Kosovo, and the TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND in Sierra Leone, had we not intervened – both times without UN approval, they were too busy ‘sitting on their hands’ allowing genocide to take place in Srebrenica and Rwanda.

     

     

    Yes we, the West, have made mistakes, that’s what happens when you do things, even with the best intentions – if you always do NOTHING, of course you don’t make obvious mistakes.

     

     

    But you do make a BIGGER mistake, that of omission, neglecting the most vulnerable because your afraid of negative headlines.

     

     

    If the despots and dictators of the world treated their own people decently, we could all sit back with our ears closed.

     

     

    It is only the willingness of the USA and to a lesser extent the UK to intervene, that keeps many more assholes from committing atrocities.

    Thanks. I’ll try to persuade him to get along and introduce himself at some point and enjoy swapping some Celtic stories with you Bhoys and ghirls!

    Thanks for the heads up.

     

    I need to know who to boo.

     

    Having been out of the loop for a wee while.

    Some of the bitterness on here, surprises even me at times – Question- is every single person who supports the Rangers, a hun?

     

     

    Are there no decent people?

     

     

    Do we not have a good number of ‘knuckle-draggers’ ourselves – there are certainly some among the regulars on here.

    Before you herald the superiority of the UK….bear in mind, that the British Government are responsible for thousands of deaths due to the DWP Nazi Action programme.

     

    IDS should be Jailed.

     

    I wonder why they are refusing to release the figures that relate to deaths attributable to benefit sanctions.

     

    These people…Cameron, Osbourne etc…are bigots of the worst kind.

    My fellow Tim

     

     

    You strike me as an idealist in a world which needs realists.

     

     

    Please look at the results of “Western intervention” in the last 20 ,30 or so years.

     

     

    Have “we” learned any lessons?

  31. Jimbo67

     

     

    He’s there at the moment. I’ll phone him about the BBQ and the Cheers place. Hope he’ll get along at some point if he can’t manage tomorrow.

     

     

    Thanks again.

     

     

    Hail Hail!
