What did Juve learn from Celtic on Tuesday?

1080

On watching Celtic on Tuesday I wondered, ‘What will Juventus learn from this performance?’  Their scout will have left with a few notes.

Celtic can break quickly and effectively.  Both Hooper goals came as a result of moving the ball the length of the field, mostly on the deck, at pace.

Their threat from corner kicks was re-emphasised.  Charlie Mulgrew delivers the ball with sufficient pace to benefit from unpredictable movement, beyond the anticipated swerve.  This will be difficult for defenders, keeper and attackers to meet, but Celtic players clearly put a lot of work into practicing getting onto the end of these crosses.

Hopefully the scout will have learned nothing about how we will defend against Juventus as we were somewhat erratic early on against United and were not pressed thereafter.

Juventus are rightly favourites but this this is a thankless tie for them, especially when the first message delivered is ‘Don’t concede corners or free kicks in wide positions’.

They will also be alert to the dangers of being caught forward when Celtic can break effectively.  Celtic conceded through this mistake against Spartak last month but I wouldn’t expect us to leave as much empty space in defence at any point against Juventus.

My main worry about Celtic is over how much practice they are putting into penalty kicks….

  1. Having just completed my Celtic survey, I would urge all Season ticket holders to use Q.19, to indicate how strongly you feel about any moves being allowed to help yon deid club.

     

     

    I stated that if Celtic allowed SFA, SPL, SFL etc to break more rules to help them, then, sadly, my season ticket goes.

    thanks for answering. I know they often annoy people on here but put it down to the fact that they like to and also being far out right. Wouldn’t disagree with you as to their being racist. Was thinking the anger was more down to slagging MLK, think kojo also said he was republican and possibly communist? Still think TSD’s statement of black film star’s quote about “being able to shoot all the whities” would have caused some trouble the other way round.

     

    Maybe it’s because the “duo” are persistant as plenty of times it gets a lot rougher on here.

     

     

    cheers, tusker

  3. An interesting take, Paul.

     

     

    However if you happen to dig about the Juventus boards a little you can find some of the scout’s notes on our game Tuesday.

     

     

    Anyone translate?

    Osservazioni di Mario N Inten’do su Celtic Glasgow vs Dundee Utd:

     

     

     

    il portiere è un gigantesco figlio di una cagna. Come la torre di Pisa.

     

     

    Marrone sembra un po ‘folle. Hooper sembra lo stesso ragazzo che è stato visto a Norwich stasera.

     

     

    Grande Wanyama sarà spaventare i pantaloni fuori il nostro centrocampo

     

     

    Scozia odori meglio senza zombie nel SPL. Ho comprato azioni Greggs dopo aver visto il grasso piccolo capo hun in televisione.

     

     

    Voglio unire la brigata verde

     

    Samaras è Dio

    Maybe if everyone turns up Sunday with McCourt masks someone would take offence?

     

    I think Paddy’s days at CP are numbered in single digits.

    The Pensive Quill is an alternative to dissidents? You need a reality check,the Pensive Quill is THE original dissident,his forum is a platform to launch continious attacks on SF and many personal attacks on its members.Begs the question,have you ever read his stuff?

     

     

    Regarding the hijacking of the funeral,what planet are you on.

    Great Wanyama is scaring the pants off our midfield

  8. I See That Clink\O/ The Clown Has Been Stirring It Again This Afternoon…

    If It Should Reveal ‘Inconvenient Truths’..

    Everything has a context.

     

    Do you think the Himmler twins are racists

     

    If the answer is that you dont know then maybe you should familiarise yourself with their utterings and then get back to me.

     

    There was a lot more in that post outside of MLK.

     

    5 or 6 other individuals got a nice wee dig

     

    And you know what

    So Kojo Dares To Bring Up The Subject Of The Rev.MLK……

     

     

    Probably Because It Was MLK Day In The US…..

     

     

    And The MSM Was Most Likely Full Of Material On His Life…..?

     

     

    So….He Was A Womanizer……?

     

     

    As Are So Many People In Positions Of Political Power….

     

     

    We Shouldn’t Necessarily Hold Him To Higher Moral Standards….

     

     

    Simply Because He Was A ‘Man Of The Cloth’….

     

     

    He Was No Saint…But Then,Few Are…

     

     

    I Certainly Never Criticised MLK….

     

     

    Who I Perceive To Be A Genuine Individual…

     

     

    Striving On Behalf Of His Community…

     

     

    And Not Showing Evidence Of Bigotry..

     

     

    However ….I Would Criticize Some Of His Close Associates In The Civil Rights Movement…..

     

     

    Who Are All Either Racists……

     

     

    Or Shameless Race-Baiters…

     

     

    At The Minimum….

     

     

    Jesse Jackson,Louis Farakan,Rev. Al Sharpton,Angela Davis…….

     

     

    And Old Harry Belafonte…

     

     

    Indeed,Sharpton And Farakan Have Both Been Banned From Entering The UK…..

     

     

    By Our Milquetoast Home Office…..

     

     

    On Account Of Their Incendiary Racist Rhetoric….

     

     

    Yet They Have Enjoyed Political Power..

     

     

    And Significant Personal Wealth…

     

     

    On The Back Of Their Energetic Efforts..

     

     

    In Poisoning Race Relations….

     

     

    And Their Damaging Advocacy Of The Welfare Society…..

     

     

    Is Acknowledged As A Root Cause…..

    Detailing His Activism….

     

     

    And His Accusation That The FBI ‘Smeared’ Him As Being A Communist…

     

     

    Interestingly…Even Although The Documentary Ran For Sixty Minutes..

     

     

    There Was NO Mention Of His Frequent Visits To The Soviet Union….

     

     

    At The Very Height Of The Cold War…..

     

     

    To Further His Political Activism…..

     

     

    Sharing A Platform With Nikita Khruschev…..

    And Spouting Anti-American Diatribes…

     

     

    No Mention Either…..Of His Trips To North Vietnam With ‘Hanoi’ Jane Fonda….

    I take it the site is mcintyres website ? Was thinking was his until raymac said alternative to dissident. Threw me then.

     

     

    Thing about all dissident groups is on surface they hate sf but deep down they dont like or trust each other either,hence the reason there is so many.

  13. What’s the worse of the two evils?

    I thought it was a wind up , many were wondering where all those financial investors came from in the share issue .Looks like chuckles was on the phone to his pals telling them all how unbelievably easy it is to part fools and their money .

     

    The peepil on RM are going raj about D Utd fans plans to wear CW masks .they should be more concerned about someone closer to home wearing a Dick Turpin mask

     

    Next he will be charging them to get info from the clubs own website

     

    What do you mean !!!!!

    Indeed it is his site,dissident with a capital D.

     

     

    If Raymac is going to direct people to sites,he needs to tell the truth or get his facts right.

  17. Something you learn early on: just because someone doesn’t behave as you wish they would, or believe in what you believe in, if they give you good advice, that advice is valid.

     

    Some sad right-wingers need to understand that basic principle of demonstrating maturity.

     

    And in that spirit, I would advise tsd to seek professional help. To wish to attract such loathing is indicative of a serious personality disorder, and I’d think he has underlying suicidal tendencies.

     

    But….hey ho: he’ll probably advocate boiling my head in oil for such consideration.
