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.

Hey carling WTF ur ye´s talkin aboot ???
Nani was sent off for the same reason as Celtic players were plainly wrestled to the ground at dead ball situations v Juventus. Platini’s team against a bunch of peripheral upstarts.

As far as viewing his future contributions on here, i’ll stick witht he tried and tested formula until proven different; if it phrases its contempt for Celtic issues like a Zombie, and posts like a Zombie, it’s a Zombie.
so its headinthe Sandman
======================
Not at all, Ska-lad – did you actually read his opening salvo back of 6pm?
Seems Paul has deleted the two posts, one containing a line straight from the quintessential FollowFollow phrasebook.
There are plenty Hunposters around; extremes sometimes unearth them.
He maintains himself a Celt, heading on the same plane to go watch us tonight; hmm…
Let’s see.

It’s all about opinions….

Trust me. He is no more.
Margaret,
OK I know what he´s on about now.
His 1st post was quite aggresive & very Hunnish.
But seemingly he´s quite a good Tim & I don´t understand why he came on like that.
TBH I´ve been all over the place watching Celtic & seen a lot of things bad by Celtic supporters but I´d rather not broadcast them
Margaret…
Nae doubt.
And much more too…
Interesting Tims
Maggie, timbhoy – the posts have since been deleted.
They kicke doff a series of arguments back and forth.
Some called him out as a Hun/ Hunposter – me included, obviously – others sought to defend him as a Celt; he himself claimed to have been a CQN poster of 4 years.
To me that means notihng; I’ve been a Timposter on followFollow for 2-3 years ;) winding up the Huns.
His opening 2 posts got my hackles up. He did not sound like any concerned Celtic fan.
His first post, merely a sentence, claimed a dozen or so Celtic fans huckled off a Milan-bound plane at Heathrow by 15 cops.
His second post was another sentence a couple of minutes later,. I make no apologies for roaring Hun/Zombie at him for that; he trortted out ‘best fans in the world, my f###### a#######’.
Like I said – straight out the FollowFollow stock zombie phrasebook; I’ve read it among them a thousand times when we’re getting berated.
He spent the rest of the evening backtracking, assuring us of his presence on the plane, heading fort he game, etc, quoting a seat number, throwing our some merry banter.
I remain less than convinced.
All I’m saying is, sometimes the mask slips.
Paul Mc Bride and now Hugo Chavez..eh?
I’m telling you next they will claim Yasser Arafat was poisoned!
Maggie,
Your slipping to a Kojoesque level now….

I think youre right. Sounds like pish.
Sandman,i was really annoyed with him at 1st but seemingly he´s donated a lot of money to the Wee Oscar Fund so mibbe he´s no such a bad guy after all just got his priorities a wee bit mixed up ??
And by the way Sandman,I hope ye shove it right up them on FF etc.

Ach…
Heading back to to the bar to toast Chavez loudly….
Love a wee reaction from liberal & conservative Yanks me…
But he called a devil Lucifer…
God Bless Him!
PJBhoynyc
what bar are you in ? NY ?
Okay, got to go to kiop.
Last two points on the man of the hour:
1) If I was on a plane and some bhoys were making a nuisance of themselves – IF I chose to post about it, I might instinctively qualify my witness from the start; i.e ‘Look, I’m on this plane and there’s trouble…’ Would I just state it, matter-of-pseudo-fact then follow up with another statement of aggressive disgust borrowed from our greatest detractors? No, I wouldn’t…
2) If I was on a Celtic forum and not one of the genuine faithful I may chose to post about trouble on a plane prior to a big away game because there’s history of it, often referred to by the huns as some minor riposte to their Manchester sacking, and because I was devious enough to recognise that most ‘sports journos’ in Scotchland get their salacious gossip from forums and print it as witnessed fact… ergo the classic self-fulfilling prophecy so beloveed of Celtic’s underminers.
I’m just saying…
This jury shall remain out and sat at the bar with pint in hand and furrowed brow.
G’night and here’s to some sort of victory in Turin, if not qualification extraordinaire.

timbhoy, I’m currently absorbed on FF these daysmaking sure tactical genius Sally is championed as manager for the forseeable future…
Them Zombies have been taking some convincing recently ;))
PJBhoynyc,
Fair play to you sir.I was born on the 18th March 1949 & I was brought into the world by an Irish midwife who told me Mam that she had to call me Patrick Joseph mc Laughlin due to me being born in between the 2 great Saints days,but me mother said “life´s gonna be hard enough for him in Glasgow without that handle so I´ll call him Brian.
I was in NY a few years ago for St Paddy´s 6. stayed on 7th & 57th corner.
Drank in a bar called strangey enough the ” Irish Bar”
absolutely brilliant.

To be honest, after the SFA stitch up , the farce at Old Trafford and other crap, feeling quite melancholy about the passing of Hugo Chavez….
He was the only man who stood up at the UN and called out the smell of Sulphur from Bush jr, when I worked in the South Bronx he organized cheap fuel for the local communities (much to the furore of Feds), and most memorably….
Two Irish boys filmed a documentary which exposed the first attempted ‘velvet’ revolution to oust him, when the populace refused to be bowed to modern media propaganda, and the US machine…
He may have had his faults.. But he was, IMO, a glorious rebel, who should be judged by his actions against the odds. He brought health, education and opportunity to the impoverished..
Respect…..
& Roll on Hugo Chavez….
Sorry whyte =Green.
Cannae get Green & White oot ma heid.

Brian, I will raise a glass to you and your mother on your 64th birthday two weeks from now, or 13 days from now.

Dear SFA
It has come to my attention that your President is Campbell Ogilvie. I would like to draw to your attention that in March 2012 Mr. Ogilvie admitted to being a member of the Employee Benefit Trust scheme run at Rangers when he was a Director of Rangers as well as the treasurer of the Scottish Football Association. He has has denied that this creates a clear conflict of interest in relation to the ongoing SFA investigation into whether the use of EBT’s by Rangers constituted illegal financial doping which in retrospect has resulted in the total destruction and liquidation of the company that he was once general secretary of and was responsible for overseeing all things financial.
If this situation does not concern you in the least because it ultimately only negatively impacts the Timmites then on a secondary concern it has come to my attention that Oglivie held 3505 shares in Rangers FC while a senior manager at Hearts your other pet project. I suspect that this slight oversight on your part is because Hearts have concurrently been run by Romanov a name that shivers up your spine and prevents you from addressing issues because of your blind bigotry based on word association.
Pope Pickingly yours

Excellent stuff Mags. You are very clever.

im talkin about CQN , and the apparent deleting of posts
Oh I haven´t looked back but I take your word for it.
Not very nice
is it ?
Think I need to go tae ma bed.
It´s 4o clock here in España & if ah don´t go soon ma wife will kill me.
Buenas Noches mi amigos
And up the Celts.
Seems to me like some people want CQN to go the way of Follow Follow.
As_I_Thought reported bad behaviour by some Celtic fans on a Milan flight that was sitting on the tarmac on a 2-hour delay because of said misbehaviour.
According to some posters, he should not have mentioned it on CQN and has been roundly abused and slaughtered for daring to do so. Of course the guy was angry. So would any of us be having sat there for up to 2 hours.
It seems it is open season on personally abusing Peter LAwwell on here, but dare anyone spill the beans on nefarious behaviour by Celtic fans abroad and you are ridiculed and accused of being a Hun.
That, to me, is Hun-like behaviour.

Is it true? If so then I detract my pish comment.
Tom McLaughlin,
Well it seems to me namesake that you are a stirrer upper.
as far as I can see the whole matter is basically finished with so why keep dragging it on ??
This is not like FF & never will be.
timbhoy in spain –
I didn’t say it was like FF.
Read my post again.
To the Scottish Celtic supporters I once met:
To the Unix sysadmin in Caracas
To that barman in that hotel in Barbados
To Tom from Lenzie now living in Sweden
To the soccer coach at Ohio state
To that genius that used to work in the European Space Agency
..thats just the top of the list
Margaret Thatcher we thank you.
ok Ive been waiting till the death of Hugo Chavez but I think its worth a gloat.
Ever since Celtic’s lawyer thought that the English Tories are no longer friends to Scotland?
http://news.stv.tv/scotland/277928-top-qc-quits-tories-amid-swipe-at-new-scottish-leader/
As much a friend as the Donut is to Celtic maybe? But I think its because she’s a lesbian I took a betdaq accumulator (thanks to the Donut) that both Paul McBride and Hugo Chavez would both be “dead” within 5 years. I’ll be collecting tomorrow.
Thanks!
