foghorn-leghorn Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Great start from Hull. Showing real heart and determination. The players are obviously rising to the challenge. Rodgers has transformed the way Celtic are playing. Real free-flowing footballwhich was absent last season. As you can imagine, most teams in Scotland playvery defensive football against us. We are now pulling defenders all over the pitch, creating space for our strikers to reallyshow what they can do. Pretty exciting times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucey Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Legia lost in league play again...and these guys are gonna make it to the Champions League? One of their strikers is being strongly linked with a move over here, apparently he didn't play tonight. That might suggest..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghorn-leghorn Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Did Legia put out a weakened team maybe, before the second leg? Nothing much happening in Germany. Cup football today but no surprise results. Over here it"s a one leg affair. Teams from the lower leagues are always drawn at home. Shalke played a team from the 6th division today. They took 10,000 fans to the match!! Played obviously to give the small teams a big payday and a fighting chance. Makes things pretty interesting, especially with teams just getting going this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legia changed the entire team for today's game. Only the goalkeeper played against Dundalk. Seems a little strange to rest everybody after a 2-0 win on the road in the first leg. But that's the crazy Warsaw people for you. :P Anyway, I expect six losses in the CL from these dumbbells, and that's before knowing who the competition will be. :P :P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghorn-leghorn Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 How well did Middlesbrough play last season compared to Hull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 I thought we were both very similar last season. We were both defensively solid, home and away, and we both had very good home records. Bruce was always a very cautious manager, Aitor Karanka is very similar (he learnt defence first tactics from the best, Jose Mourinho). They finished better though and finished second, we stumbled and had to go up via the play off route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghorn-leghorn Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Celtic fans raise 24K in less than 24hrs in a bid to match the size of any fine coming Celtic's wayfor fans waving Palestinian flags. Money raised will be split between Medical Aid Palestine and a children's centre in Aida Refugee Campin Bethlehem.

foghorn-leghorn Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 All the teams from the East have mental fans. Celtic fans fund-raiser now touching 100k after just 2 days. Even Stan Collymore has chipped in a 100 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghorn-leghorn Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 2 wins to the forum? I hope so. Would be a laugh if the home fans all turn up with star of David flags. That would really set the cat among the pigeons with UEFA. Oh god, kick-off beckons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
