‘No one said it was easy.’ How true. When I heard the Celtic line-up I responded, “Would take a 1-0 right now”. No strikers and a new central defensive pairing is not the way to start an important game.
A couple of years ago, you would have an ominous feeling right now, but with Brendan, there’s a belief that we will be prepared in Trondheim. We need to put the ball in the net. Even if we concede first, subsequently putting the ball in the net resolves a lot of issues.
My expectation is that we saw the best of Rosenborg last night. Celtic were clearly well below their best. When the teams meet again Celtic will be one week fitter, and I expect personnel changes.
For so long we missed the kind of football that knots your stomach. This one is hugely important. Enjoy the tension!

Dessy-Twists- not trying to create any rumours, but why do our ‘current Custodians’ of our Club, not stand up for the supporters? How many issues domestically and in Europe now, are we getting bitchslapped with no retort? ..
Not going to be changed by meeting supporters I should have typed, sorry

That’s the way I read it.
*************
There have been calls in some quarters for the Gers to be stripped of major honours in the aftermath of the Supreme Court judgement that ruled in favour of HM Revenue and Customs as the lengthy legal battle came to a conclusion.
The SPFL decision has prompted an angry response from supporters of several clubs as they have threatened to boycott matches and raise funds for their own court challenge.
But chairman Topping is confident with the position that the Hampden board have taken after ruling that Rangers won’t face further disciplinary action.
He said: “There is a body of people who are interested in this, a whole tranche of individuals who are wealthy and who would be prepared to fund something like that.
“The generality of support through crowdfunding could do that. We’re not discounting that. We are comfortable with the legal advice we have been given.

Many years ago I wrote to PL about the conduct of the Ibrox mob at Celtic Park, the reply supposedly came from him and was a printed copy of the stadium regulations, I was furious and contacted John Reid, he at least put a reply together but ultimately this meant nothing, other than John putting on the envelope for addressee only, I felt like James Bond.
Fred/Beatbhoy
Seeing that, if that’s verbatim, I agree. Differs from the text I received relaying what he said.
Apologies.
Topping is still an erse all the same:-))
TWISTS N TURNS,
Yeah I see that. I thought you were saying
Yeah I see that. I thought you were saying that (he was saying) people with cash/crowdfunding were ready to challenge anyone who wanted titles stripped.
Am dizzy now…away for a wee lie-down :-)
Hail Hail.
Ma heid is spinning now :-)
The smug Doncaster will take to our pitch next Saturday when the flag is unfurled. If the unthinkable happens and we fail in Trondheim, the indignity of seeing him on our pitch, only days later will be hard to bare.
Sounds like a threat from the Gang from Topping

I think Celtic will be taking action. Time will tell.
What a mess that post was. it refused to send then sent that abomination!
TTR- I felt sick seeing Doncaster in the Directors Box last night
My friend’s son caddies at Trump ..a well known Celtic golfing enthusiast was in a 4 ball.
At end of game ..each of the young caddies got healthy tip from their Golfers. Our Heid honcho augmented that giving the 4 young lads an additional £600 to split between them.
A very decent tip ..and nice to see someone as wealthy sharing it out to young lads. Respect.
!!BADA BING!!
Keep yer friends close and yer enemies closer:))

Never apologise unless you have to.
Within the confines of our playing squad available, I doubt we’ll perform much better next week. Let’s hope Lady Luck is shining on our numbers.

Cool as feck, bold as brass today.
Not a foxin care in the world. Magic. :)
Cracking idea, just came to me. We steal thousands of pallets from Sammy in Belfast, and we construct a massive King Billy on a Horse. We then wheel it to Hampden and leave it outside, a brigade of mutineers secreted inside.
Soon as they wheel us in, we strike:)
Could work:)

I like CQN. Many informative supporters on here.
I don’t have any ologies, but I’m not totally thick ( I hope)
But I’m struggling to get my head round this :- If the highest court in the land has stated unanimously, that the old Huns basically cheated, then our board should be duty bound to follow this up.
Seams simple enough for me.

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

CELTIC MAC @ 9:05 PM,
Very Good point, if as some suspect this advice was given before the Supreme Court Decision it makes quite a few things sound distinctively different…
Rereading just noticed this on the end Question 2…
The time for appeal [of the LNS Commission] is ordinarily 5 Working Days but can be extended by the Appeal Tribunal.
If JJ’s e-mails and minutes of the SPL Board on the “last” appeal day are correct, and Auldheid thinks they are, we saw that the SPL Board were at sixes and sevens trying to reach a decision, Eric Reilly wasn’t even contacted. Aberdeen’s representative had serious misgivings as did the Chairman Ralph Topping.
It was obvious they wanted a face to face Board Meeting to properly consider the Commission’s Decision.
Why then did Rod McKenzie not tell the Board this time could be extended by by application to the Appeals Tribunal?
Every time you read this stuff it just looks worse.

BEATBHOY, TWISTS N TURNS ,
Cheers. sorry about last post. I honestly hope TWISTS N TURNS is correct and we will take action.
Hail Hail.
Twas the night before Aberdour…..
SP- very true, maybe PL and Doncaster were working out the legalities of the 5 Way Agreement?

HUNDERBIRDS ARE GONE on 27TH JULY 2017 10:57 PM
TONTINE TIM
If we dropped into the Europa League, by finishing third in our CL group, we could have both the CL riches and a crack at EL glory.
*I know just trying tae soften the blow should the unthinkable occur.
Topping is a tit.
How he can be a tit after 40 years at William Hill is bewildering though.
He knows the angles.
To quote from a Herald interview;
.”The Rankers guys do themselves down if they think they haven’t got influence as well, because they have spent time in the lower division’s and made lots of friends there. If Donald Trump can get elected then i am sure Stewart Robertson can get elected.”
