The Good.
After a poor result it’s great that we have the opportunity to get back in the saddle so quick and in such an important game. It’s the chance to get the feeling of disappointment over as soon as it came on. It’s also the reason that we haven’t dwelled on Sunday.
Though the task is difficult it’s not insurmountable, Sion, looked tidy but not undoable. Treat it like a tough away SPL ties, say, Ipox or Swinecastle, then I’m confident that we should get a result. That’s just blind optimism though.
Plus, Hooper, Wilson and Kayal, unlike Mr T, have got on the god damn plane.
The Bad
That I’m fretting we are missing Charlie Mulgrew from frequenting his worst position is bad. Also, that though they are on the plane the risk of attempting to play half fit players seems risky at best.
How good are Sion? We really haven’t got a clue. They came for a draw last week and got it. There was no expansion or adventure. They need to score to go through. We really only have Dan as our truly fit centre back. We have no left back available.
I’m probably right in considering, weighing up odds, that us losing a goal is a decent bet. Plus our away record is woeful.
Samaras as a lone striker is also a possibility.
The Ugly
That defeat will see us plunged into a crisis that the media are already rubbing their hands and licking their lips in glee at reporting. Lennon will be under serious pressure and rumours will be abound that we will need to sell anyone from Kayal to John Clark.
The CelticCyberWorld will implode in a sea of Sack The Board, Lawwell GTF and Dermot get your cheque book out rage that will dwarf anything the Daily Mail readership can conjure up when discussing immigration.
Plus, how embarrassing will it be when UEFA punt Sion out and we sneak in the back door for Thursday Night C5 extravaganzas before their Patrick Swayze season?
Get some great European Night T-Shirts and also some Swayze ones.
No need to cross fingers or any other part of the body…. By experience it never works
My preferance is to wish the club, our club,football team Celtic a good performance enough to get through. My religion.
We deserve nothing less also our manager Neil and backroom staff (excluding the suits) .
However as has been touched on by some others I agree Neil at times could help himself by team selection and certainly tactical substitutions.
Difficult due to a horrendous injury list… However that cannot be deemed an excuse certainly by a board whose ONLY claim to fame is the balance sheet.
Since the summer break began we knew 3 players were essential to boost the squad..Also a clearout to make way for new..(Not always as easy as it may seem when players are on good contracts)
Still we managed a keeper on loan and I wish the big lad well Foster.
I shall wish him well yet again as we also knew a CH was needed to play in front of him.
Anyone watch the games in OZ.. On streaming..
Well let me say you were lucky you only missed rubbish in performance. A centre forward/striker call it what you want. Noticable throughout the pre-season games was essential
I know Hooper is injured but Hoops and let me say Chris Commons are shadows of last season. Indeed Commons does he train?
1 stone overweight.
Remember McManus anyone? Very average?
Bloody better than anything we have just now.
Oh’ and O’Dae not the best but better than whats left..?
All debatable amongst us Celts.
Hail Hail and good luck
McManus was pish, we are missing Gary Caldwell.
Both of them were pish.
My thoughts are they are better than what we have(I included O’Dea).
Now Bobo ?
Clark sweeper back from retirement.
Hail Hail ….
I must disagree. Only Kelvin Wilson has shown any sign of being better than Caldwell. All the rest including O’Dea have tried and failed.
anyone know where i can watch the game tonight i have been looking around for live streams and i have found this http://streamsports.es/ does anyone know any more?
