After two highly productive performances against Barcelona confidence will be high, but it is worth remembering that Benfica earned a 0-0 draw at Celtic Park on Champions League match day one, and will have no fears for Tuesday.
After that game in September Celtic were favourites to finish bottom of the group. Barca managed a slim 3-2 at home to Spartak after a late surge, placing them top of the group while the Russians were rightly encouraged. Benfica earned a valuable away point without being greatly troubled by Celtic. Indeed, the half time video analysis from the Uefa technicians looped repeatedly on one incident, a Benfica penalty claim.
That scenario has changed. Celtic sit second top but a win would see Benfica match them on points and go second on the head-to-head. Make no mistake, despite Celtic’s heroics against Barcelona, Benfica expect to be second in the group on Tuesday evening. They are rightly favourites.
We are now tantalisingly close to the knock out stages of the Champions League but two of the most difficult games of the season lie ahead. The best thing Celtic can do is show Benfica as much respect as they showed Barcelona. Benfica are not quite as dangerous as the Catalans but they are more than capable of exploiting any gaps in the Celtic defence. Treat them as Barcelona-lite and we might even collect our second win in this tournament away from home.
The Andrea Kearney Fund have a signed Celtic jersey available for auction on eBay. The fund, in memory of Andrea, assists families of women who are diagnosed with cancer while pregnant. Since Andrea died, aged 41, four years ago, over 50 families have been helped.
You can keep an eye on the auction here.
The CQN Annual will be available next week, both online and at one or two selected retail outlets. There’s a cracking image on the cover of a goal celebration from a recent goal….

Mort, despairing.
MrZ..,
“I also said that Christianity is not the philosophy. There are Christian philosophers but Christianity is not the philosophy.
”
Sorry you’ll need to explain that one in a bit more detail, it just doesnt make sense. What are these Christian philosophers discussing what would be the point mentioning the Christian philosophers if it was not Christian philosophy they were discussing, surely if they are not discussing Christian philosophy they would just be philosophers, no.
As for the
“I read your arguments but as I said after your first statement ( you claimed that Christianity caused more victims than the fascism or Stalinism) I said that there was no room for further discussion for me. You repeated your statement in harder words later.”
No room for further discussion, is an entrenched man as I said closed mind.
I cant remember all of my repeated final statement, but I know it was not harder unless you mean it was harder to argue with, in which caes that is exactly how discussions become interesting IMO.
“Did I say you said that Jesus was first communist?
Find where I said that, or is it Pravda?”
You finished tonights initial post with the comment
Oh dear, and Jesus was the first communist.
If that wasnt a clumsy dig at me, maybe you can explain why you mention it, especially when our discussion was pretty much the only place such a misinterpretation could have surfaced.
Remember, the meek shall inherit the earth, many thought this is what he meant, the Christ was a prophet too.
Pravda is a two way street, hiding behind a sly dig deliberately made up as innocous comment is as sinister as anything you accuse me of.
As for the fascist thing, I take that tactic from capitalists, anyone with socialist sympathies were identified as communists regardless of their actual biliefs, there are many socialists who believe in a mixed market, but as far as any capitalist is concerned they are communists. Well whats sauce dor the goose is sauce for the gander its that simple, any capitalist is a fascist, the difference being there are no capitalists who believe in mixed markets so in fact it is IMO more fitting. Capitalosm is a totalitarian doctrine.

“The Fix is well oan it’s way..to pave the way for a ONE WORLD . and Atheistic… GOVERNMENT..”
You are wrong on that one my friend, IMO of course.
The Governmental believe in the coming World Leader.
That World Leader doesn’t want Atheists, he will want to be Worshipped in the Holiest of places in this World. That is why Israel is being lined up to fight everyone. Once the dust is settled by this World Leader, the seemingly Peacemaker…. ach read the Book, it’s awesome if you truly believe. ;)

What’s insight got to do with it?
Have I got it wrong perchance?
Do I have to write a dissertation on the issue, to be considered knowledgeable enough?
Sorry I’m too thick for you!

They would be part of the plan, all in it together.
There was a book writen about it many years ago, where the world was controled by three super powers.

Are there secret societies in those countries?

An attack on Israel is not an attack on Jews. It is an attack on Zionist Jews. There are many Jewish people who feel just as disgusted at the Palestinians.

Sometimes it seems that we live in one of those post-apocalyptic films,
all we need is a nuclear war. And that might not be far away.
The amount of Freemasonic memorabilia that was exposed on the first BBC reports after the looting of Saddams place was incredible. Never seen that footage on the later bulletins funnily enough.
“Nice to see BBC reporting from inside Israel for once, as they usually have a pro-Palestine agenda, only showing the damage done by Israeli forces.”
What absolute keech.
Glasgow University Media Group report “Bad News From Israel” showed a clear pro-Israeli bias reporting this issue in the mainstream media!
The BBC refused to show the DEC Appeal for Gaza ffs.

Aye, it doesn’t seem too far away, in the next couple of years there will be changes that you will not believe.
They are determined to go after Iran, imo, it will be folly of the highest order, the US reckon they can take the place out in three weeks, well if they are willing to go with that theory, I hope to hell they know where every single target is, cos if they don’t, and they have a habit of getting things wrong, there will be carnage.
Nukes flying from the two I’s back and forth, carnage.
Canamalar,
For God sake don’t look for definitions.
Socialism is the simple message that we share our limited resources with one another.
In my young days, I went onto building sites or timberyards or steel works. In those days there were no canteens. Every man carried a few sandwiches with him. Often a guy would come in who had no ‘piece’. Never once did I see those guys go hungry. Most people would share what they had with their ‘Brother’… even if they had never seen him before.
It is not ideology.
Don’t listen to the sad souls who tell us we should only worry about ourselves.
Let them go away & gorge what they can from the trough.
They are FOOLS.
Socialism ( looking after one another) is not a ‘philosophy’.
It is simply who we are & what we are.

Jonny the Tim, my first reaction to you is that you are a troll. But it is possible that you are just ignorant. Go away and research this issue and then come back and tell us all you were talking crap.

The secret societies are usually just in the West but I’m sure there are plenty in the East and that is the real connect where they are untraceable.
The way the British control both sides is impressive if you take a step back and are not Human.
It’s the Devils Ultimate Game as I said to BMCUWP a few months ago. Politics where he divides and can divide further and further but is Ultimately in control of a total mess, unless, people start to realise the scam.
