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 really have no idea waft that collection of words might signify, sorry. I went to a posh boys school in Edinburgh and I’m in my 20s.

     

     

    Is there any reason you want to know my school teachers names?

  11. FAVOURITE UNCLE

     

     

    Stop it. You’re embarrassing your self, with your ,what school did you go to nonsense.

     

     

    A guy is reporting that people have been taken off a plane at Heathrow.

     

     

    If they are Celtic supporters and have brought this action on, then they are doing it in your name and in mine.

     

     

    Time will tell if it gets reported, but if there is substance, you can be sure that the cops at the other end will be on alert.

     

     

    A Celtic scarf is not a badge of immunity for a…..les.

    Wow SAF has put Rooney on the bench for the start of the Real game, brave move or is he being too clever by hal?. Whatever he now has a strong bench

    Ps favourite uncle

     

     

    I’ve got plenty of pals that are “rangers” fans. I don’t judge who is good enough to be in my company by what team they support

  15. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Reading back, one or two comments to the effect that, without the CL run, this would have been a disappointing season….apart from the fact that, without the CL, we would have won the domestic treble………however, this has (genuinely) been the best season I can remember.

     

     

    If someone had asked me “what would would make ANY season for you” ?….. My immediate response would be…….” a season without the hateful ones” …….you can gauge how happy I am when you consider that they will never darken the doorstep of the SPL in any future season……..you could not have dreamed about them being liquidated……!!!!!!!!

     

     

    Now, that’s what you call (non EBT) bonus……… LOL

     

     

    This new club the bhuns have decided to adopt will never be able to look Scottish Football in the eye again…….they are a joke, and shoite on the park……. Just hope greengo sorts out the bigots amongst them BEFORE sevco also get liquidated …… He doesn’t have much time, right enough….LLOOLL….!

    I said trivial things but these trivial things lead to 10 Celtic supporters being taking off a plane.

     

    This whole image we have of being the best fans in the world is great when we are great but then it’s not something we should hide behind/protect ourselves with if there’s been wrong doing

    The Romans conquered the known world on porridge. Fact

     

    Yes true but Roman porridge was made from wheat! Egyptian wheat,then no.1 in the world and according to the book I encountered,having a much higher protein content than the present.

     

    No doubt on the far flung outskirts of their empire they had to resort to “when in Rome do as the Romans do” and on the “wall” got used to having their oats locally and regularly, in between times of being sprung upon by bands of marauding Picts off to (or returning from) the land of milk and honey for a bit of rape and plunder.

     

    Best Wishes,

    Egyptian wheat didnae do the Carthaginians much good.

     

     

    Do you reckon they were putting sugar in it?

     

     

    No proof but more than likely “southern softies”!! But the Romans certainly made sure of no comeback by putting salt in- their arable lands!!

     

    Resulting from the “board” (govt back home) not supporting the “manager” (Hannibal) and the troops when on top, maybe???

    KOJO,

     

     

    YOU are the only person who claims to be a CELTIC man who wants ‘bigger & better bombs’.

     

    Who wants struggling people to ‘end their own miserable existences’.

     

    Who wants no relationships between ‘Thoroughbreds & plough horses’.

     

    Who thinks that the long-suffering Palestinian people have ‘brought on themselves’ the hateful persecution that they constantly suffer.

     

    Who thinks that we should only care about our own selfish needs.

     

     

    YOU are a natural supporter of a Scottish club.

     

     

    That club is NOT Celtic.

    As I said earlier if you don’t believe me don’t bother responding to my “story”.

     

     

    I still see no reason to name what school I went to, I really don’t understand how this would back up my arguement.

     

     

    I have once got a response from paul67 and have exchanged email once or twice with a couple fellows on this website. Can I get my grade A Tim badge yet?
