Underestimating teams in August, win Walfrid hospitality tomorrow

923

You and I have enough recent experience to know teams we’ve never heard of, or know little about, cannot be underestimated when it comes to European football.  We should expect, and will get, a very difficult game tomorrow.

The good news is that Hapoel Beer Shiva have lost goals in three consecutive matches after a solid defensive run which saw them keep 8 clean sheets in 12 games.  But they scored four while conceding in two of those games, the only reversal coming at home to Ashdod in the League Cup last midweek.

They shut up shop away from home in their two earlier Champions League qualifying rounds at Sheriff in Moldova after a narrow 3-2 home win, they kept out Olympiakos before winning the return 1-0 in the last round.

Unlike in previous years, we are not facing a team midseason in the playoff round; Hapoel have had a few cup games but will not open their league season until Saturday.

Hospitality for 3 people at Celtic-Hapoel Beer Shiva at Walfrid Restaurant

Celtic sponsor, Intelligent Car Leasing, have given us three tickets for fantastic hospitality at the Walfrid Restaurant, before, during and after tomorrow’s night’s Champions League qualifier.  This is another money can’t buy opportunity for three people to watch Celtic in a hugely important game in sumptuous comfort.

Anyone can enter the competition, however, as this prize of so incredible, I’d like everyone who enters to donate a recommended £10 to the good work of the Celtic Foundation.

You can donate at this MyDonate page.

The Celtic Foundation work to improve Health, promote Equality, encourage Learning and tackle Poverty (H.E.L.P.) in Scotland, the rest of the UK and Ireland, and worldwide.  It’s your Foundation, you built and maintain its good work.

A few guidelines for the raffle:

Raffle closes at 21:00 BST TONIGHT, so there’s not a lot of time and I’m not expecting many entries.  You will not be entered into the competition if you donate or apply afterwards.

Enter with an email address you are going to check later tonight or early tomorrow, add a phone number, if you like.

You can enter two ways:

By making a recommended £10 donation to Celtic FC Foundation here.  Then email me at celticquicknews@gmail.com with Walfrid in the subject line, to make sure I can get in touch with you.

Or

By emailing me the names of every Celtic shirt sponsor and official kit manufacturer.  Ever. To celticquicknews@gmail.com

One of the above will be pretty easy for most of us.  The other will be pretty difficult.  Do the easy one.

Great prize.  Only open for a few hours so there will be little competition.  Go for it!

Thank you, and thanks to Intelligent Car Leasing for supporting our fundraising efforts.

    Kolo knows the ref. He reffed Villarreal v Liverpool Europa semi final. He let play flow. Hardly blew for a foul and one yellow card.

  2. Hope someone asks THE JESTER FROM LEICSTER..Why he takes home more in a year ..much much more …from auntie BBC….than they put into the whole of Scottish football…..

  3. Evening all, getting a bit nervous, so I am. But then I think, if this team can’t do it, no one can. ‘Mon the Hoops.

    Hope so, make a nice change, Astana got away with murder against us, Hence we paddy pulling up and Leigh getting it in the second half and our wee iron man Tierney.

     

     

    PMT kicked in already.

    Sent Paul a text if ticket still available

     

     

    +++++++++++++++

     

     

    It’s still available and yours if you want it BT….I have emailed Paul/WC

  7. Really looking forward to tonight’s game . Feeling confident . My only reservation is I still think we could do with an enforcer in midfield . If we don’t need one tonight we most certainly will need one on 10th September , otherwise our young slight players won’t stand a chance

    19% of men in Britain now have tattoos.

     

    ————————————

     

    Ha, I bet that rises to about 70% of footie players.

     

     

    I wonder what percentage of our players have tats?

     

     

    HH.

  9. Lineker and co being there seems irrelevant on the face of it but it’s an indication that BT take us seriously unlike Sky and their never ending old firmism. BT coverage is far superior.

  10. 50 shades of green on

    Getting ready for tonights game and I was wondering if its okay to wear my “Persistence beats Resistance ” t-shirt.

     

    Widnae want to wake up ra morra and find my big coupon splashed all over the red top rags.

    I reckon Paul’s “new article” got a CVA agreed and so it’s still the same article…..

    I wonder what percentage of our players have tats?

     

     

    ———————————————————————–

     

    I don’t think any of our players have moobs. I’ve heard even Kris Commons has slimmed down.

  13. Show your commitment; instead of getting a flag and getting the club into trouble, get a tat.

     

     

    Surely that can’t contravene EUFA rules.

    Well said re: pricing policy. Posted similar sentiments on Twitter yesterday (obviously in not so many words). Also asked the SLO why we refer to them as ‘Rangers’ and not ‘The Rangers’? Tumbleweed…

     

     

    Our Board have absolutely bought into the ‘Old Firm’ Revisionism thing and feck the fans. Makes me sad and mad!
