There is an unusually sombre tempo head of tomorrow’s Champions League last 16 tie, a consequences of the 0-3 reversal at home three weeks ago and the general sentiment around Scottish football this week, but this match is an excellent test for both manager and playing squad.
We are a Champions League team again with aspirations to achieve at this level next season. Having finally overcome the hoodoo of never having won away from home in the competition, we must use occasions like tomorrow to continue our growth in the competition.
We defended our 18-yard line in the Camp Nou and almost got away with a point. The plan was wrong in Lisbon, where a talented Benfica controlled midfield and recorded a narrow win, but the win against Spartak in Moscow was deserved.
Celtic might not be able to qualify for the quarter finals but they can win the match tomorrow; this is an achievable objective which would sweeten the inevitable medicine.

As I said…..you know it makes sense.

Kojo.
Are you not in a clique of two.
Only asking;-))
Anyways, i like when you post on Celtic as sometimes you nail it.
Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan supports Kano 1000
No shooting down necessary.
Your post is on the money.
And I thought Mourinho was in a strange mood post match tonight, non gloating, almost trying to be seen to be playing things ” the English way”. Odd.
Out of character for the self proclaimed Special One.
Twomacaroons/bsr it seems there is a fair split on the blog regarding the nani tackle, just wonder if you would he of the same opinion had it been mcculloch or bougherra making the tackle on larsson
Sorry of to bed in mo but why is Roy the Bhoy no longer in the studio ?? Did he frighten Townsend and southgate ??? Go on to the Bhoy
And ghod bless the CELTIC … Nite alll

As I dragged myself back into Seville town centre circa 1:00am – I could have kicked Jose’s butt from here to eternity……………… but you know what?
I kind of admire him – he can be; arrogant, cynical, obtuse – but he’s a born winner!

Just watched the disallowed Madrid goal again and it should have stood since Ramos didn’t foul Van Persie.
There are different opinions about the sending off but Madrid put the ball in the net 4 times compared to Manure’s none.
Madrid deserved to go through.
Jude/BRTH
Don’t think USA is an option anymore.
Possibly Germany or with a bit of luck, good timing a possible trial in Newcastle. Nothing solid though as Oscar firstly has to recover fully from pulmonary hypertension and collapsed lung. Slowly but surely getting there though.

Possible signing in the summer?
Twomacaroons, come on mucker surely you’re not suggesting the game was fixed tonight, if so why did the ref not give a penalty when rafael clears the ball off the line with his arm
Well I don’t care too much for money cos money can’t buy me love….
Or a sporting advantage.

It will always rankle.

This was attached to a comment about a story in the Daily Ranger about Rangers signing Daly from Dundee United.
This shows how well he will be accepted.
Green Lantern (((((0)))))
Agree (my daughter concurs) – thought he won the header first and his arm on RVP was irrelevant as it was after the event (i.e. having won header).
BRTH
Jose, a one of, next manure manager, nothing surer imo. and I would be willing to have a wager on it.
As for his comments about Celtic, he has total respect for a club that is more than a club, he is no stupid, he might just want to manage us some day, you never know how things will pan out.
The world is a changing, and it’s changing so feckin fast…..

Henke would have been sent off.
Nani´s running looking behind himself.wid ye drive your car like that ?
Naw ah didnae think so.So he didnae see the guy then he should´ve been lookin where he was going.I´m surprised he didnae stove his ribs in.
Roy was dead right.Did he think there was nobody else on the park?
Fergie made a big mistake with his team tonite.
Whit’s this about Celtic being interested in Mister Magoo?
Arf Arf! Waldo!!!
Gotta go.. Flo

Oscar Izzie Leona & Stephen are at CenterParcs this week courtesy of the Makeawish foundation. First day today and they are having a ball. Dragon hunting in the woods, table tennis, football, playroom. Tomorrow, more dragon hunting in the woods followed by magic show and much more.

Three words
Far eastern betting.
The games had it.

You don’t have to travel that far to come to your conclusion.
How much did you lose? :> )
PS.
’twas a definite red card, he was looking at the player when he planted his foot, then followed through.
Sipsini, aye most probably mate ;=))
Aye it´ll be a long sad journey home tae London for the Manure supporters.
Oh dear how sad never mind eh.
Aye, Real’s first goal was a good goal, the header was won first off.

Stuck on a couple of pounds on a five timer tonight, about 10 mins to go, three were drawing at home, bet them to win, two were losing at home, bet them to draw, only got 97/1 but was very shocked when they won, dug me out of a very big hole that I have found masel in the past few weeks, can’t but a win for luv nor money.
I reckon the hardest thing to do is pick three winning teams every week, I wish I could…..
Tis as ever a mugs game.
HH
The heart says 4-1
The head says a score draw.
The beer will have to make up the difference.
Come on you Bhoys in green.
Night bhoys catch up on another Champions League morning the morra.HH
THE EXILED TIM
If you can pick one you´re doing well mate never mind 3.
TET
Know what you mean – can get 3 combinations of 2 from 3 (covers bet) – looking for the week when I get 3 duck eggs on one line and 2 x 3 up on the others @ 100/1.
:-)
Praecepta,
Watford were winning 2/1, so I was wrong.

Kojo.
What a boring life it would be if everyone had the same opinions.
Not that i agree with a lot of what you say on other matters.
You really know how to ruffle feathers.
Thinking that is what pauls site is all about…discussion, disagreement and solutions.
Well here’s hoping for tomorrow.
Hail Hail
TET, I posted earlier about a rematch in april. It probably got caught up in all the hunnish anti celtic supporter posts. I’ll email you.

I see this new team in SFL3 are planning ahead…. the LL have them signing 2 players 10 months before they can actually start playing for them …….. Now that is what you call forward planning ……. Expect another 1690 signings by 12 July ….. Hahahahahah …… they are comedy gold in their own little parallel universe….
—
They can start playing them from 1st September. Summer 2013 signing ban is a con. Transfer deadline ends on 1st September, SFA Sevco transfer ban ends on 31st August.
