Celtic v Shakter Karagandy Wednesday 28th August - 7.45 KO Sky Sports 1

Is that you, Mr Happy?



:smiley-laughing002:

 

That's the spirit mate.

Are you going, we could really use you on Wednesday.

 

Massive game for us. Should be able to get quality in if we get through. Lennon has to go with two strikers. His tactics were all wrong on Tuesday.

 

It's going to go one of two ways I think, we either absolutely batter them 4 or 5 nil. Up 3 nil at half time and cruising through it. Or they get a goal early and it we have about 25 shots on goal.. Winning 2-1 but not enough to go through. I'm buzzing for the game anyway, I hope we see a totally different team on the pitch.

 

A last minute winner in this would be * immense.

I would prefer the old fashioned Celtic last minute winner, a ball scrambled over the line by one of the centre halves. Would go off my * nut:icon_mrgreen:. I do think we'll struggle though, lack of goals will be something we struggle with all season in my opinion.

 

I keep trying not to think it............ but ..............

it's laughable how easy this tie would have been if we just had Hooper

We would have been * home and dry by now.

Please Delia, i'll eat you pie if you give us him back on a 3 hour loan?

 

I'm sure she would send him back in a heartbeat seeing as he's injured. :smiley-laughing002:

 

We should be 2-3 up by half time

This team don't even look like footballers, imagine them in the group stages

 

are you talking about us or them ? :smiley-laughing002:

 

World Cup Year 2014

Find it hard to believe with fellow hoop fans that lack of belief that we can attract a few so called big players in for the season..

1. this is world cup year so for any striker ( who are the most selfish bunch around ) to get a chance to play in the CL and get his name in the shop window for his national team would be an opportunity they SHOULD jump at.

2. Hooper - WHEN the hoops make the CL this year, it will be interesting to see what may have happened if hooper had have stayed... now that ricky lambert seems to be getting a chance i think hooper will not have a sniff!

3. Players we can attract on loan.. is it too much to try and go for Defoe, Xherdan Shaqiri ( former basle now bayern can do a job on right wing ), becchio, Ivica Olic ( he have man u a horrible time a few years ago for bayern, victor moses, carlton cole ( free agent!), chris samba, podolski,

4. How to address the long throw ins this coming week...
- keep the 6 yard box a player free area so that forester can handle / punch the ball - though he had a wobbler with that in the previous game

- avoid giving needless throw ins in our last 1/3

- having did my uefa a licence, i would recommend.. 3 players along the 6 yard line.. each 5 yards apart, open body stance and the space in front is your area to defend.. call in zonal but it can work if you run through it on the training ground.

call me mad.. but rory delap is a free agent.. can we not get him up to lennoxvale and work on these situations on sunday and monday.. PRACTICE MAKES PERMANENT!!

5 - I believe if we get a goal in the first 25mins this team will crumble, we need a full house, get the place bouncing!!

Hail Hail over and out all the way from Mount Isa, Australia.

'If * wanted football in the clouds he would have put grass up there'!

 

lol both to be fair

 

If we get knocked out on Wednesday it will only be the beginning of the embarrassment. They would get trounced in every group game.. making us look like absolute *.

 

Didn't their manager say he would quit the cigs if they won ?

I'll do something similar if it isn't 3-0 come half time I'm going back on the drink.

 

any word on GB coming back from Inverness game, I hear a truce has been sorted!!

 

Forster
Lustig moyokolo mulgrew izzy
Brown ledley
Sammy Commons Derk
Balde

Think if we get an early goal we could go onto get 2 or 3 by half time. Big performances needed tho, samaras HAS to play in the wide areas.

 

That's almost exactly what I said!

Maybe it's worth putting a tenner on. :smiley-laughing002:

EDIT: whoops. Need to learn to count.

 

That's actually a brilliant idea IMO.

 

Not sure I'd start Stokes in this game.

He can be very wasteful and greedy. I dread to think of the amount of chances he will squander when faced with a 9 man wall of defence.

Then again, he is our only striker. Sad times.
