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….

The enemies of God the Almighty are amongst the most ardent students of The Word.
Prophecy was the only way to keep things hidden from the enemy.
Israel tears at the heart of every Human person, that is the way the Devil operates, unfortunately. I’m on the side of the Bible and what it says, always.
Maximum respect to you m8ty as you are not rigid in your views. You are an inspiration with your willingness to listen and even change your opinion when convinced it is right.

Bear in mind that I’m currently appreciating the bejasus out of a bottle of A+ Donegal poitín; combine this with my basic nature, viz., serial pedant, and you end up with a bloke tolerable only at 2am.
Homework is what all sensible folks do: homework serves to remind you of the fact that there’s always more to discover out there :) In the case of the Armenian genocide, Kurds = contributors, but not the primary bad boys (unless I find some shit-hot new info whilst doing my own homework).
The Israeli/Nazi comparison does get me a smidgín antsy, however; oppression don’t compare to genocide – and to be honest, when considering the Final Solution I do tend to think Treblinka-Sobibor-Auschwitz before Warsaw-Theresienstadt; personal inclination, I suppose, but it is after 2am, so joined-up thinking is at a premium.
I seem to recollect having had an opinion on poppies, but this entire cognitive process lark is getting a bit fuzzy round the edges (qv supra).
I’ve been hearing beautiful music for the last couple of weeks from beautiful people in work.
Time to play it here.

Hun + Hun = Hunnery
Hun – Hun = Freedom
Hun+Hun – (2 x hun) = Regression
Hun x HunPR squared = multiple hun circular movement and zombie cannabilism.
Mathematical Hun = biological anomaly
Hun on Hun action = Strathclyde’s Finest initial entrance exam
Hun Power = white supremacy
Hun Failure = reality and increased violence motivated by inferiority awareness

Are you David Flynn?
Bó-aire @ 02:16
It is all very confusing amigo.
The idea of Auschwitz happening today is absurd according to the mainstream media.
Yet, the people telling us this here in the UK don’t exactly have a great grasp of who has the worst human rights’ record – worst in history some historians have argued.
That would be the UK, while the USA shadowers are doing a great job of ramming that record right up our UK rear ends.
Gotta love the Western Freedom we enjoy, and the benefits of ignorance they gift us before we retire to our safe beds.
Petec,
Ok, had to google David Flynn – voiceover for UK Gold? No me amigo, but he IS annoying, so am going to log into FF and tell them he is RTC. A plague on his family and children. ( I am of course jesting – except the bit about FF being a plague on families and children). Halfwits.
The commentator said “I dont think Neil Lennon will want to see him that far up the pitch to often, but that was a super break, so much power about him”
Then all hell breaks loose as the Kenyen feenyin bullets the ball into the onion bag.

Here we go again……………………………………..:-)
petec,
As I said before, I am very suspicious of the written word, supposed Christian theologists who use the Old and New Testaments to justify perversion of the message of the Christ is IMO a not a Christian, if a written word must be compiled then only the gospels are valid for referance to the Christ’s example, anything else is perversion of the message. All the other books of the bible are simply literature and should be treated as such.
Anyroadup, time to sleep.

Awake again thanks to the diverse debate surrounding the history and, now, modern ‘history’ of the Middle East. Tin Hat thought? Israel – a very new phenomenon in modern history – has achieved, financially and militarily, to gain the momentum through a country founded on slavery, barbarity and consumation that knows no bounds…
Petec,
This is what happens when you mix jazz music with trad – but only in the Shetlands – any other situation and it becomes a musical anomaly.
Anyway, Led Zepp on J Hollands programme next week.
Am expecting loads of grovelling apologies to God :))

Petec,
I love your approach to the Bible and your faith, because when anyone challenges you, you respond with a humility that is Christian. But the Old Testament requires a lot of belief that actually contradicts what Jesus said.
As an agnostic, I don’t think I’ll ever stop trying to be Christian in everything I do. Interestingly, I don’t think it needs faith to see that he was and will always be right.
Whatever disortions or amendments might have been made (natural in any report of history) over the last 2000 years, the wisdom of that Man will outlive whatever forces it encounters.
The old Illuminati and Masons and Luciferians can twist it whatever way they want, but humanity will always know in its heart that oor Jesus spoke the wisest words ever recorded.

I love football because it binds families everywhere and always will. Men, Women and Children. Money and Power have seeped into the game – through time and attitude. We need to keep the faith, strength and humanitarian belief that if we stand up, we will be counted. Especially on humanitarian issues. Palestine is the Pawn in the game of Minerals.

HH,
I hear you. 100% agree.
My favourite film ending ever (I’m a soppy tit, sorry :)))
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk5A2qt9e6A&feature=related
petec, had a quick look at that genius of yours, sorry pal can’t agree, he’s exactly the type I detest, his arms must constantly be sore with all those first stones he casts, his constant referral to literature I’ve already decried as simply that, literature, nothing more.
I do not see how he can call himself a Christian, when all he seems to do is tell other Christians they are wrong.
As I said or at least hopefully implied, if you need to study the message that hard, your no getting it.
Right definitely time to sleep.
Hail hail

Barry Manilow is a Legend now after what I have heard about him.
I hope the Almighty Lord keeps alive my current workmate, as one of his friends has been diagnosed with asbestosis when he is just retiring. Nice Government timing.
My current workmate (over 60) is the happiest ever guy and I have now found out he Prays every day. I have never done that, I want to be as happy as my Workmate.
He is a recovering alcoholic, I’d say a fully recovered alcoholic but he has crumbled a couple of times.
That Man has went to the bottom and fought his way back up and is just what I need to work alongside at this time.
