With Brendan, there’s a belief

620

‘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!

    Not to be pedantic, but the cheating has been going on for 100 years by the establishment club of that there is not doubt, I’d take a look at the big picture IMO CFC is as I said three weeks ago the only club to have spoken out on the situation, and on they’r own have no chance of doing a thing unless other clubs get on board, and as of now there isn’t, and people in here say that’s CFC and PL fault, that’s the bit I don’t get? THEY MADE A STATEMENT, all others rolled over to get they’r belly tickled, so to blame CFC for this, astounds me, but that’s just me being logical IMO.

    “As the club celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Lisbon Lions extraordinary success over Inter Milan,Peter Lawwell,now,himself,in his 100s and still looking fit and healthy,said,’A soon as all the relevant information is available we will make a statement regarding the improper registration of players,illegal use of EBTs etc etc yadda yadda yadda.'”

     

     

    The long game.

    Oh,they’re grand. And thanks vm for asking.

     

     

    Three tickets now-thanks to a fellow CQNer-so my Dad’s outnumbered. Get yer arse back there and give him some moral support(!)

     

     

    Aye,I know. And I would,and wish I could.

     

     

    Every time I go home,and especially after the likes of Lisbon,but heyho…

    I was actually Pizzing my self laughing reading it, I had to run for a slash, comedy gold, and as for a newspaper to print that .hit, sais it all really:)

  5. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Its astounding really, when you think what these cheats have just got away with.

     

    A review already decided before it had even taken place.

     

    That is so blatant, that its a direct challenge. ‘What are you going to do about it?

     

    That is what it comes down to.

     

    I hope we can fight this, together as Celtic supporters.

     

    We fight or we are subject to the whip-hand of the huns. A wee swivel-eyed zombie con-man and his henchmen, surely we can sort these nuggets out.

    Not having a pop,but nothing would ever change anywhere if prevailing opinion and numbers counted more than truth.

     

     

    I don’t see why you think that Celtic on their own can do nothing.

     

     

    Right is right. It’s nothing to do with who has the loudest voice in the argument.

     

     

    There is a serious concern crystalling amongst an increasing number of the support that Celtic are content with the status quo. And a few very uncomfortable theories being aired as to why that might be.

     

     

    Now,these questions aren’t being asked by tinfoil heads. But by serious professionals in everyday life who just happen to be Celtic fans too.

     

     

    There is a real problem here regarding Celtic’s stance. And I genuinely hope you are right,that we are waiting for the moment to pounce.

     

     

    But I’m increasingly doubtful. And I’m becoming increasingly p’d off about it all.

     

     

    My personal opinion is that someone somewhere made a serious error of judgement,but in good faith.

     

     

    And that the board have accepted that,and decided to go with the flow.

     

     

    Me,I could probably accept that too. If it was explained.

     

     

    Meanwhile,nothing!

  8. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    Only a moron or barking seal would offer the legally responsible, an excuse to abandon their obligations.

     

    Other clubs do not represent Celtic shareholders.

     

    Just a thought.

    With Celtic tv there’s no hope.

     

    Embarrassing quality, they’re acting like a pirate stream.

     

    Can we not do something about it ?

     

    Looks like their upload speed is still dial-up

     

    And the commentators ?!?

     

    Brass neck material all round.
