I have still not watched 1 pre-season game when every game is available live on C67. I'd usually watch the repeat but I wouldn't put myself through 90 minutes of the crap Celtic have been putting on so far. Hopefully I'll catch the next one and it's a decent match.
Which is why I'm dreading the season - well, not dreading exactly, just kinda thinking that I'd like the summer to continue a wee bit past 29 July... :eek:Quote:

No, Celtic were "plonked" in the second pot in any case. These two reports are from May, immediately after last season's CL final.Quote:

I am not sure PP that 2 newspaper articles from long ago confirm anything.
As Celtic came in at 15th place in the co-oefficients for this CL draw
http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UCL...Id=429304.html, where would you have put Juve and Milan?
geysir , you havent looked into this at all , every celtic fan knows celtic went into pot 2 after the CL final , the reason they are 15th now is bacause juve and milan are out and inter is in instead with a higher co-efficient just pushing celtic up one place from 16th to 15th .
That explains it very nicely, thanks. I wasn't calculating for Inter's belated entry.
chievo verona in the champions league as well , what are the chances of them meeting celtic!!?? yer man tim parks must be gutted

I finally got to see a Celtic pre-season game last night and I came away a lot happier than before the match. The first half wasn't great for Celtic but they dominated the 2nd half.
It was my first time seeing a few of these players play a full game in a Celtic shirt. Jarosik looks a really good player and should stick out in the SPL. Miller looked better on the ball than I thought but his decision making, finishing, etc. could improve. Probably needs a goal. Sno came on in the 2nd half for Lennon and was the main reason Celtic played so much better. He misplaced 1 pass and got himself about. I don't think he's ready for the first team yet but looks promising. He started the move for the goal with a run on the break.
Petrov has to leave, he's just not playing well at all and looks depressed. McGeady was excellent, Marshall was excellent, Wilson as usual.
This team is still only half the team that'll be playing next season. Celtic are 50% the team without Nakamura. He's the key and I look forward to seeing him back in the team. Maloney too will set up about a billion chances. A left back and striker are certain to come in. Hopefully a centre half and/or central midfielder are brought in too.
Goals:

Watched most of it not a bad performance but I read very little into pre-season games.
Maloney has less then 12 months left on his contract need to get him signed up ASAP
i saw it last night , mcgeady looked good also sno has a pass on him , the fans looked to be having a great time , there was some serious amounts of coors light sunk i'd say!!
celtic have just beaten everton one nil , things starting to come together
mcgeady boruc and sno top performers report here
There were some reports about Celtic making a bid for the Ukranian MF Tymoshchuk, looks like Feyenoord €7m have easily outbid Celtic €4.5.

I suppose its not as bad as being outbid by Sunderland.
About Marshall, after looking at bits from both of them in a few preseason games, as good as Boruc is but also considering his blunders, is Marshall at all in the reckoning for first choice?
i don't see him displacing boruc ever , geysir , from what i gather celtic are trying to get an experienced keeper as cover and will loan marshall out for the season, possibly to a championship team in england
Gravensen would be the IDEAL man for Celtic and a much better acquisition than that waste of time, Keane (I predicted he wouldn't be here at end of season, all he did was upset the balance). Would be delighted if Strachan could pull this one out of the bag.Quote:

too right scram but this morning sky say graveson has ruled out scotland...
I wonder why Celtic wore the black and green stripes kit for the game against Hearts ? Pretty non descript outfit like the performance.
must be nike calling the shots there as regards marketing the kits owlsfan..
its a new kit, celtic will want to sell shedloads, so why not put it in the shop window so to speak.
It was a poor performance right enough. Hearts worthy winners.
