Thus far results haven’t mattered, but if his players walk into the dressing room at halftime tomorrow without being in the lead, you can believe there will be an edge in the team- talk. You and I have probably seen more of these kind of games than Brendan. They are seldom straightforward and while the manager plays with pretty much the hand he inherited, I don’t expect a remarkable change in outcomes.
Assuming results go to plan, we’ll have six Champions League qualifiers in the next seven weeks. That’s a lot of football, hopefully most of it will be played with the benefit of one or two more arrivals.

JOBO BALDIE
Cheers JB then my slight minor panic is over, should be home in time for KO.
Mon The Euro Hoops!
Why an earlier kick off tomorrow?
My flight arrives in Barcelona at 7.30 pm Celtic Park time tomorrow.
Would have had a chance of seeing a bit of the match if it was 7.45 ko. Grrrr
SS- add Dunn & Moore

Some will be turning in their graves that a couple of Tims own Tennents now…

Kickoff is 8pm in Spain :-)
THE CLUMPANY 7.53 I don`t post much, but have to say that Dave Two Hats was hilarious,
Also well done Res 12 bhoys,

There is a Celtic bar, just behind Kings Cross, you’ll get it in Celticbars.com. I prefer Bradley’s, just off Oxford St, 5 mins from Tottenham Court RD. Great wee pub, with a few Celts sure to be there. Only issue I had was the fact we watched the Legia Warsaw shambles in there, be warned…
BB
Add Yarrows and Barr and Strouds in the west end. Little chance of a Saint Tam’s bhoy getting a job wi them.
Hoopybhoy
If you can’t find any place closer go to the Sports Café at the bottom of Haymarket just near Trafalgar Square. It will be on there.
Northern line from Euston to Charing Cross will take you to the other side of Trafalgar Square. It is just a 5 minute walk.

Missed your Celtic park time of the post
Barr & Stroud had a beautiful park for their works fitba team… Was a bowling green to play on
GFTB
Will be driving the hired car to Michael Collins pub Barcelona fast for the second half. :-)
jmccormickjohn & hrvatskim,
Thanks, I’ll try Bradley’s in the first instance and see how that feels.
Cheers!

B&S pitch was the first grass pitch I played on. Was like the Maestro that day as I won a medal for Corpus Christi Bhoys Guild Knightswood. Happy days in 1977. :)
DD
Don’t drive too fast…. We have next week to finish them off
Enjoy your break, I still think we have a good enough team to make the group stages and the Brendan effect helps (hope wee Griff or Dembelle have a few goals each by the time you are watching) :-)

I went from red ash or up and down hills at espiside to play on a flat grass park as a young bhoy was like playing a different sport …. 1977 a great year, SSW Innsbruck my first European game at paradise … Canny remember the score but back of the programme was “win a ball competition” must have been a gambler even at 7
Personal prediction for thus season -broonie’s back to best under BR!
Very powerful documentary on BBC2. Exodus. Our journey to Europe. Refugees telling their own story. This world can be a horrible place.
GFTB
Thanks pal. Cannae wait for the Benicassim Rock Festival starting Thursday. Some of my favourite bands playing. The five of us will watch the Wolfsburg game on Saturday in the Villarreal/Celtic Submari CSC, 4 miles fae our villa. Back next Tuesday and Paradise Wednesday. Life is good just now G.
Ruggyman @ 8:33
As the second line up was your preference, where did the first one come from?

=======================================================
I can remember when the B.B.C. could be relied upon to approach these topics in an evenhanded way.
No more.
Mothers pride bakery across from Bristol bar, ballochmyle (Mortimer pub) and the louden.
Orange holes one and all in 70s.
DD
Have a great time and hopefully a wee victory tomorrow to start your holiday off….
Fellow Celtic fans good night and God bless back to work the morra when Tuesday becomes Monday but at least a day closer to Friday
Monthehoops just over 19hrs to the Brendan revolution (& CL group stage assault)
Whilst I am on the subject, I wouldn`t be too disappointed with this line up:
Gordon
Janko Ambrose Svietchenko Tierney
Bitton
Roberts Brown Armstrong
Dembelle
Griffiths .
Then again, I would like to see McGregor in the team…..and Christie……and Rogic…..and Allan….and Forrest ( maybe).
JJ
Has Scepovic been loaned or sold?
Delaneys Dunky you got ST for next season? I renewed but don’t think I’ll make that many due to work, planning on going to away games again this season if I can make it as they are usually Sunday games.
GGH
My aunt ran the Ballochmyle for Mortimer for a while. I took a weekend shift when I was at college. What a scummy man. Arctic Monkey!
Eddie
Got a ticket for North Stand Upper 405 on halfway line. With my failing eyesight, I will hopefully see both sets of goals this season. :)
Angel Gabriel
Watching it now. Terrible scenes
Macjay
I presume you are not watching the BBC documentary right, otherwise I don’t think you would have come out with that crass comment.
You are correct it is very one sided, told by and from the point of view of innocent civilians who been bombed out of their homes, seen their thriving cities reduced to rubble and are running away as quick as they can with their young children ( some with special needs) to Europe for a better life.
Now just for balance what other point of view should the producers take
Macjay1.
The BBC & even handed didn’t cross my mind.
Desperate people telling their own story.
Look at their choices.
Death or a dream involving risking death.
God help every one of them.
Your response disappoints me.
Big time.

Shot, I believe. We are all put out of our misery then :-)

Did you mean `shot of` or did you really dislike him that much? 0:-)

Equally bad is a Parliamentary Labour Party stuffed with careerists who are determined to bring down a leader overwhelmingly elected by the rank and file of the party.

Sceppvic was sold to Getafe for £1m
I forgot Ajer when I picked my team for tomorrow! Just shows how difficult it is to select an obvious `first` eleven. For me, the following are the guaranteed to be selected :
Gordon;
Svietchenko;
Tierney;
Brown;
Griffiths.
I don`t mean that the above are necessarily our best players but they ARE the best in their respective positions.
Goodnight all,
JJ
HOOPYBHOY
Enjoy, game will hopefully be on in wee downstairs bar, enjoy the Draught Budvar or Estrella.
Delaneys
And my kids moaned about their jobs when they were studying!
Sheer luxury.
Ballochmyle was bad enough to pass by, never mind work in.
Embamike
Thanks. I asked because the Celtic FC site I looked at had him as out on loan. Possibly an older site.

My ma went to st marys in the Calton in late 20s to mid 30s.
She said their final report cards were stamped Calton Advanced School so that the girls had a chance of getting work in Templeton’ s. If they knew they were from st Mary’s they wouldn’t get past the front door.
