    I'm not from Ireland but it's inevitable the question gets asked when it's not difficult to find out, the match is live on Sky Sports 2/2 HD & the Irish can also watch it on Setanta Ireland.

    In Spain, right bhoys and ghirls. Where's the best place to meet up with fellow bhoys? Me and the lads are wanting to start drinking and partying.

    Messi - cant head the ball or kick with his right foot. Very overrated. Xavi and iniesta - I never see them winning headers in the penalty area. We must be favourites!


    Fingers and toes crossed just in case they manage to raise their game against the hoops

    Bring on Forrest and Kayal when the game is stretched because I've got a feeling they will pick us off in the last half hour.

    No point in going to defend 2 nil or 12 nil just go for it and leave with no regrets

    I've been thinking about line ups and who should start,but I don't actually care tbh,I trust in Lennon to get things right,I trust the players picked will give it their all..I just hope Celtic can take something from this game,but I won't be bitterly disappointed if they don't,we are talking about beating what many people have called the best club side ever,they also have arguably the best player ever,so it's a big ask,but anything's possible.I'm beginning to feel the nerves tbh,can only imagine ow the team and Lennon are feeling.Just get * intae them :celt_2:

    Used to like him but now he think he talks a pile of *.

    He seems to think he is some sort of higher power on all things Barcelona, the truth is they are on SKY every week and the entire world can and do watch them and know why they are good and what their weaknesses are.

    Not a game for Commons in my opinion. Watched him against Belgium and he really struggled in his own half - he needs to be right up the pitch and it's unlikely we will be.

    I think our key attribute will be our height from defense to midfield and Sammy.

    We will win corners, free kicks? I doubt Barca will be silly to give many of those away, I remember when we had Naka I swear we got no free kicks from them just because they knew what he could do, if do get any though we need to make our height and strength count as much as possible.

    Sammy's pace and awkwardness is another key factor when we are attacking especially if Mascherano is playing as one of the CB.

    It's bordering on the bizarre that this Celtic team have a chance against Barca it really is and I don't know if the win in Russia has given me a sense of over belief in this team also, but at the very least I see us getting a draw.
