Sweeten the medicine, Celtic

991

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.

    I wouldn’t condone the language,but as a firm rebuke of a hagiographic post about Keith Joseph,it hit the spot.

    He can have those three letters before his name-the important three come after it.

     

     

    RIP.

  3. HH! bmcuwp. Saturday the 16th should be okey dokey.

     

    I’l get mrs.miki to check the diary once I boot her ootae the tent.

     

    My bro’ ‘larrybhoy’, fellow CQN’r, knows a lot of The Bhoys, will probably be here on a visit, and my honorary Anglo Celtic bro’, “Insane Ray”……he likes that, but we don’t tell him….so how the ‘eff does he know?

     

    Y’know, he disnae know much about Celtic except my passion for it, and last night, as we watched the preamble to The Manure game, he said, and this is stone-cold true,” I really like that Neil Lennon. He’s a LION . ”

     

    I mearly choked on my Valium & Morphine.

     

    Uncanny.

     

    NFL’s channelling of the Great Lions is verging on the supernatural.

     

    Anyway, once we sort outta date, I’ll send you my address, pick you up, or come and collect, if that suits, and you can stand a ride in an ole 1981 vw jalopy……interesting.

     

    Swindon’s no that far away, anyway.

     

    HH………. Again!

     

    P.S.

     

    About time you tod me more of your life history. You know a helluva lot about mine.

     

    Reciprocity is the key to brotherhood.

     

    See you down the road apiece.

  4. Lionsroars… Perhaps the situation would be clearer if Salmond and Sturgeon had not lied about having legal advice in the first place?

     

     

    Its absolutely clear that even if all 27 governments vote to allow Scotland entry, there will be a damaging hiatus whilst entry is negotiated.

     

     

    Also clear that it is unlikely we would enter on current generous terms enjoyed by the UK. Adoption of euro, border controls, and loss of rebate all likely.

     

     

    Ps- do we actually have a date for this referendum yet? Starting to think it might not happen…

    Hitler and Joseph were both in favour of eugenics,for example. Fascism is a euphemism for bullying,right enough.

    It would be helpful if you could lift yourself above tabloid scaremongering around the independence debate, it is clear from your inane mediocre ramblings on this subject you rely on the PR press releases from UKPLC, not a very trustworthy group

    Magic,that’s a date. E-mail the address,if I canny find it I’m in the wrong job,haha!

     

     

    Look forward to making your acquaintance,and that of your significant others. I’ll keep quiet about the skwerr till they’ve all effed off……

    What school did you go to?

     

     

    Who were your teachers?

     

     

    Who were your classmates?

     

    ……………………………………………….

     

     

     

    Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

     

     

    I still cant believe I read such drivel on a Celtic blog. You have to laugh sometimes and I did when I saw that one.

     

     

     

    Miki67, you shine as a beacon of light in the dark. I hope you are posting here, and continuing your fight with the hun for many many years to come.

     

     

     

    Hail Hail Bruv

  9. Lions roars? So they did have that legal advice you say? And they didn’t lie about it?

     

     

    Oh that’s fine then. Must have missed that bit.

    ‘Luxembourg’s Foreign Minister has backtracked on a comment about Scotland’s independence’

     

     

    That would suggest that his views were accurately reported i the first place otherwise he wouldn’t have had to backtrack.

     

     

    Do you personally monitor foreign news agencies or is this a story being put about by the SNP?

  11. Morning,

     

     

    ‘Celtic have had no response from UEFA

     

    since submitting the dvd.’

     

     

    That will because we never sent a dvd!

     

     

    Zombie MSM…

    Your missing a lot

     

     

    No surprise at your pathetic attempt at misrepresenting my post

     

     

    Any quotes from verifiable EU source to back up this drivel, or is it scaremongering without any factual basis

     

    Also clear that it is unlikely we would enter on current generous terms enjoyed by the UK. Adoption of euro, border controls, and loss of rebate all likely.

    Good morning CQNers,

     

     

    LNS has cast a shadow and its sad to read the posts of the disillusioned and down hearted ……..

     

     

    We’re not beaten yet, whether its the SFA….the SPl….the Masons….the Orange order….the MSM…..whoever

     

     

    C’mon Juve let’s see what you got…

     

     

    And while we wait, a rallying song from way back….

    I only read that stuff a coupla hours ago. It made for poor reading,but what the hell,it’s a blog,opinions and insults are everyday things.

     

     

    Good to see you sticking up for him though. And that water of life of yours is fair doing a turn for WEE OSCAR.

     

     

    Great stuff,and a supreme sacrifice on your part,slurp…

    A lover of the BBC Ernie never had you down ad its biggest fan, how did the BBC do when reporting on the troubles across the water?

    ‘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.’

     

     

     

    A lack of impulse control, a need for instant gratification and a lack of consideration for the impact your own behaviour will have on others.

     

     

    Sadly all too common these days.

     

     

    Though that may just be down to the technology that’s available.

    ‘A lover of the BBC Ernie never had you down ad its biggest fan,’

     

     

    On balance it’s probably the best broadcaster in the world, though Shortbread does let it down.

     

     

    ‘how did the BBC do when reporting on the troubles across the water?’

     

     

    Isn’t it odd how much SNP supporters have to say about the Troubles since the ceasefire? I don’t recall hearing much from them before that, other perhaps than to urge support for the Scottish regiments.

    BobbyM, ha ha enjoy your dram bud.

     

     

    I’m hoping Celtic Rollercoaster can do more with my dram than I’ve managed to date. Watch out for his auction of bottle No. 001.

     

     

    If some ned in a Celtic scarf delayed my flight by two hours I’d be more inclined to kick his head in then report it on the the blog. Wearing a Celtic scarf should not excuse you from being a dick or being reported as such.

    Supporter of Independence ernie, i enjoy that position with many Labour supporters it really is quite a diverse group, not a member of the SNP nor a voter of the SNP, the post that upset you as you believed it came from the SNP actually came from

     

    http://www.labourforindy.co.uk/ you really should get your facts correct

     

     

    Taking stick from you regarding Ireland, laughable, singing the soldier song wrapped in the union flag Ernie

    Any posh bhoys that don’t know the price of milk in the breakfast room at the Meliá Milan this morning?

     

     

    If so, don’t touch those croissants with custard in the middle. They are red rotten.

    Your post didn’t upset me.

     

     

    You will agree though that if someone has backtracked, it means his views were reported accurately in the first place.

     

     

    Which was the point I was making, and which you have not tried to contradict.

     

     

    Interesting though that once again a nat has introduced their political views to the board.

    Good morning fellow Celts from cold, wet and grey Lyon.

     

     

    On the One Road into Turin- Bhoys are a wee bit quiet now…that will soon change when we hit the Alps in about an hour.

    Not backtracked at all, laughed at your nonrepresentational views on me based on your hatred for Scotland, you really need to get that sorted Ernie, when your hatred and anger for Scotland make you sound very similar to your unionist friends at that new club across the city its time for self examination

     

     

    you never post your political views Ernie…………………………………………………………….Best laugh this morning very ironic

     

     

    Good luck to Celtic tonight, hope all in Turin have a safe and happy

    Haha,stoatir……

     

     

    I’ve e-mailed that to some sevconians,they’ll be in even more of a permarage than usual.

     

     

    How long before the site is,erm,corrected?

  27. Hard luck is better than no luck.

     

    And those incredibly retarded muppets who do their Nuremberg Rally thing at iPox ( and seem to love writing posters about ‘peados’ [ sic ] methinks Kincora, Ted Heath, The Vile Savile, the Shankhill Butchers, who lead me to seeking counselling, have the big-time ‘whataboutery’ on THAT score)……wel, they have no luck at all. Look at those inbreds go, genetically regressive back to 1689……hehehehehehe.

     

    And we need to take the offensive. Legally of course, within the masonic concepts of offensiveness.

     

    That includes insurrection.

     

    I have nothing to lose. Set loose the dogs of miki67.

     

    And you think I’m being funny?

     

    Nope.

    Afraid the Puma site is a spoof folks, they are not listed on it yet.

     

     

    In fact the enormous multi quid deal doesn’t make their ‘news’ page.

     

     

    Clearly an administrative error.
