We’ve seen more of these games than Brendan

693

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.

    Tweeted Celtic bars as can’t find anything on their site

     

    I’ve already organised my viewing for Crete next week

    I admire your optimism and hope ypu are right.

     

     

    It is quite a while since I have been able to “expect” anything from our squad, except of course, the unexpected.

     

     

    Let’s hope that Brendan can fix it.

    The wife was talking about how fantastic it would be to go to see warhorse.

     

    In particular, she is keen to see the model horse on stage.

     

    She was less than pressed by my suggestion that it would have been a lot less bother to get a guy to bang a couple of coconut halves together.

    Blantyretim,

     

     

    Cheers. Staying in Barbati but am going to drive over the hill to Ipsos and leave the car there. Going anyway, so on the off chance there might be an interesting pub I appreciate the effort. It’ll save me wondering at least.

  5. Mats –

     

     

    New season, new manager and let’s not stand on ceremony, very weak opposition. If a Celtic supporter can’t be optimistic about playing a team from Gibraltar in a competitive game, then we live in strange times.

     

     

    We’ll molocate them.

  6. Have a Happy Birthday Moussa Dembele!

     

     

    Have a miserable 12th, ya Dirty, Filthy, Twisted, Neanderthal, Bigoted, Hate-Ridden, Goat-Pumpin’ Pinny-Modelin’, Majorette-Stick-Twirlin’, Mickey Mouse’s Big White Glove-Wearin’, Drum-Thumpin’, Greetin’, Growlin’, Perma-Ragin’, Forelock-Tuggin’, Gullible, Morbidly-Obese Orange Bastards!

    On holiday in Sorrento and went up Mt Vesuvius yesterday and was delighted to see a couple of hoop wearing amdassadors – youngest fella mega excited! – we’re everywhere and it’s great – mon the hoops tonight. Hail! Hail!

    Martin used to stand at the door waiting for the latecomers and belt them, no questions asked. If he caught you trying to come in the back way he would double it.

     

     

    My hands took a fair battering.

  10. glendalystonsils on

    I don’t mind if the imps score.

     

     

    As long as the other half of the scoreline reads: Celtic 8

  11. fieldofdrams on

    Never mind the Warbmeister’s magic hat…I ordered a XXL Persistence beats Res12tance t-shirt, but received a smaller size and…it fits!

     

     

    So, Requisitioner t-shirts guarantee weight loss. Phenomenal result.

    I’ve played on that pitch many a time and it was very dry mostly gravel but it may have been relayed since then

    We’ll molocate them.

     

     

    Were doomed now, somebody typed that before the EK game -)))

    Dirty Nellies and Temple Bar main strip opposite beach but unable to confirm if game on.

     

    Keep looking as celticbars trying for me

  15. There are many thousands at Celtic Park ( and elsewhere) who could learn from these words re tonight`s match:

     

     

    ‘“ Football has changed. Everyone is switched on and focused. ” Scott Brown.

     

     

    JJ

  16. Hot Smoked –

     

     

    So what exactly is it that thousands of us are doing wrong that makes you think we could learn from those words from Scott Brown?

  17. BLANTYRETIM

     

     

     

     

    The game will be on Scottishfitbaw .com,it’s the time I don’t know, heard it was on BT also, but can’t find out if it is on BT.

  18. Auld Tam

     

    The `thousands` to whom I referred are those who do not understand the level required to play football at the professional level.

  19. Big Georges Fan Club - Hail, Hail, Wee Oscar on

    Hello this is WEE BGFC. Bournesouprecipe is that the team or your suggested team?

    WEE BGFC

  20. Alasdair MacLean on

    Blantryretim,

     

     

    I’ve seen Dirty Nellie’s – at the Barbati end of the strip – but now I know to look for Temple Bar – which actually sounds more promising.

     

     

    Again, much appreciated and hope your Crete trip goes well.

     

     

    Al

  21. BSR

     

    I wondered the same as Wee BGFC !

     

    I think Roberts will play.

     

    Anyway, off for my pre=match preparation.

     

    Cheerio for now.

     

    JJ

     

    PS I expect a low-scoring game.

    Don’t know if you are planning to do Pompeii or Herculaneum, but it is easy to get the train from Sorrento and get there. Far cheaper than the organised trips.
