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….

T4, he posted earlier, Thursdays, Scotland Street. I’m going to be a squad player, couldn’t commit to every week, work! And a 60 mile round trip. Once a month or so I hope.
The cycle will be good fun, enjoy it, don’t over exert yourself now.

Your mention of the articles was a useful memory jogger. Thanks
Obsfuscation has been part of their policy but I thought they would take care of what they told AT.
Canamalar
Aye whatever, spout away. For you to accuse anyone of being narrow minded is quite funny though.

I’ve been thinking long and hard how the masonic cabal would wriggle their way out of dealing with thems.
You have shown me the route they will take.
Newco has little interest to me other than a way of toying with blinkered huns.
Oldco now that’s another matter…thems were cheating for years fielding players that they couldn’t afford on an even playing
field.
If spl bottle it as ftt did, i think they will be shocked by the anger of all fans from all clubs.other than murdewell.
Before he goes putting a Fatwa on me…
You are obviously a man in his autumn years, calling the Best Ever Celt,…BOY
TET, a positive change for the blog, sounds good.
A wee bit of friction isn’t a bad thing, good debates, they can go too far of course.
Awe Naw – Half the lies Chuck tells aren’t true! I really want to see Rapid (karma again!) and other clubs shame them. Then again, they have no shame.
You were off the blog for a while….all ok?!
T4
…In that Respect, I’ll turn a blind eye towns pathetic attempt at intimidation earlier.
Although a man of your age really should know better.

You should get a job with the tribute act, they could do with an accountant like you >}

I am surprised that Miku hasn’t fitted in, I know that his family haven’t settled in scotland, but it obviously has affected him, he is a decent player, technically gifted, but sometimes it doesn’t work out, we don’t seem to have much luck with loanees.
When the league is all gift wrapped, I would imagine Lenny will let loose the kids.

New job buddy. Keeping my powder dry for the SPL inquiry. Thanks for asking.

To think we beat the michty Barca with a player who had hardly been involved prior to that, and is now regarded unsuitable for the squad.
Incredible. :)
Auldheid,
Hopefully AT will get back to them for clarification of their conflicting statements now.

You seem to be on here spouting guff any time I look in. You really should get a life.
The IRA love-fest on here earlier was nauseating

You may have no stomach for what Irish republicans have done in our name ( mine & presumably yours ), but without their struggles we would not be where we are today.
Maybe men like Tom Clarke should have just accepted that they were an inferior people & realised that what appeared to be a brutal attempt at destroying their identity was really a benign intervention by our natural superiors.
Irish rebels bravely did what they HAD to do.
They were not trying to subjugate anybody.
Theirs is a proud tradition.
God Bless them.

Wish Id thought of that.

Well said. Again

There will always be friction, and a good thing as you say, for me, I make many mistakes, and the chance to correct them imo is a good thing, same can be said for posters on phones where predictive text takes over, all for the better.
Evening all. Heading to Budapest on 6 Feb. Any suggested bars to watch Inverness game? Get pointed to Caledonia Bar, tho slightly off putting is a photo of a young Sevconian on web front page.

Was at the Barca game and have watched it 3 or4 times since, Miku was fantastic that night, didnt realise it at the time, think he covered more ground than any other player.
Didn’t seem to kick on and seemed to take the huff when subbed. Shame thought he looked a player….

TET, agreed.
Time for the off, long lie tomorrow, flight back to Glasgow at noon, hotel breakfast about 9am.
Good trip to Shetland, next year I’m coming for this

Got an invite. Missed it this year, it’s next week.
Izzy,
It gets a bit tiring reading people who moan about Tinkerbell quick news or this should be a Celtic site but don’t even try to talk about Celtic, it’s almost as if they don’t know how to start a discussion.
Lazy bloggers are as bad as lazy journalism.

Is it because the botox injections went wrong and left you incapable of registering that emotion?

I actually thought we’d be better and play to a more receptive crowd. That bobbyM is a rerr chanter though.:-)
Neilcanamaler, get a haircut FFS.
Google translated from Rapid Vienna’s finances for season 2011/12, released on Monday (take from this what you will):
Last but not least there was – mainly also due to the absence on the European stage – a reduction in revenue in the Merchandising segment. Included in this result is the way also a provision in the amount of 450,000 euros for an imminent failure of a transfer from the Rangers for Nikica Jelavic. As things stand, this provision should be but fortunately in the balance sheet of the season largely disbanded.
‘imminent failure’?
There are times you have to fight and to even kill, the fight has to be right and Just however as a Christian.
The ornothologist Bobby Sands only wanted Freedom.
The freedom to go and observe a lot of God’s Creation.
Tyranny has many guises, the shackles being silently put on the populace is frightening.
Debt and actual Paper Money gives people a very false sense of security.
My middle Sister disagreed with me that a mortgage was a debt. She only has about 10 years to run, let’s hope the economy holds up that long. o_0

Aye, fickle things are supporters/fans.
A new bhoy has a bad first ten mins and he is a flop, gone ar the days of finding their feet.
Too many glory hunters these days.

Agree 100% with John O’ Neil. All this dewy eyed pish about the IRA has no place on a football website
——
Ira chat ? Most was about an irish women who died in tragic circumstances .. Well known because she was lifelong belfast republican and as 1 poster said she was friend of his.
Then some chat where person wanted info on visiting graves of irish martyers .
Theres is plenty of chat on this site i dont like or have interest in so i scroll by
Thou shalt not kill

square that one
The Malaga/Barça game tonight was most excellent. Football par excellence.
Much like us.

Go for it get the other one cut:-))
Dirtymac,
While Tinkerbell FC claim to be rangers, clubs rangers have put on the precipice of oblivion are unlikely to have similar sympathy from their own FA’s.
There is very long term planning.
FFS how can housing cost what it costs today other than Greed. The Controllers know the human psyche inside out and that is written.
Neil C, excellent, you’ll look more appealing in the next vid then.
Are you going to the game on sunday? I’m not going to make it:-( The bhoy is supposed to be playing but its touch and go with the snow / ice / soft pitch inspectors in the DDYFA. I’m consigned to missing all of it and freezing my plums off watching the young un, or watching on the telly due to cancellation. I know which option I prefer.
