At last we manage to avoid Barcelona - when they're shite.

― Wewlay Bewlay (Tom D.), Thursday, 24 August 2017 16:57 (nine years ago)

ah barca would still pump celtic tbh. I'm very glad we didnae get them again because I'm bored of them.

FC Bayern and Qatari Saint Germain are going to humble us

― -_- (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 24 August 2017 16:58 (nine years ago)

Fuck

Race for third place very much on imo. xp

RIP Spurs

And fuck our being in pot 3. Cunts

― jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Thursday, 24 August 2017 17:00 (nine years ago)

Can see that wee shite, Neymar, filling his boots against our comedy centre backs.

― Wewlay Bewlay (Tom D.), Thursday, 24 August 2017 17:03 (nine years ago)

This season of EU Moneyball football is already worth it for having Celtic and supporting ilxors back

― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 24 August 2017 17:04 (nine years ago)

And Rodgers who we like again

― jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Thursday, 24 August 2017 17:05 (nine years ago)

Aye!

― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 24 August 2017 17:06 (nine years ago)

surely man utd can't fuck that group up. and surely liverpool can.

― plp will eat itself (NickB), Thursday, 24 August 2017 17:06 (nine years ago)

Diego Costa has to join Atletico Madrid now!

― Wewlay Bewlay (Tom D.), Thursday, 24 August 2017 17:12 (nine years ago)

Bought tickets for all three group games on sight again and on the assumption we aren't getting out of the group it might actually be enjoyable this time round.

Except I'm on holiday and will miss the first one and it will inevitably turn out to be the Real game.

Ajax demoted from finalist to not even reaching the group stages of the EL in a mere three months. After 52 (!) years of qualifying for European football. 200m on the bank but unable to put a team together to reach the group phase.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 24 August 2017 20:55 (nine years ago)

Fenerbahce managed to lose home and away to Vardar of Macedonia too.

― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Thursday, 24 August 2017 20:57 (nine years ago)

That's another big surprise, yeah (though I don't know Turkish football tbh).

― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 24 August 2017 21:00 (nine years ago)

two weeks pass...

Mbappe / Cavani / Neymar all starting against Celtic. Dembele making his first start for Barca vs Juve.

― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 18:22 (nine years ago)

Very interesting to see if Barca can do better than last season. Doubt it tbh.

Celtic-PSG 0-0

― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 12 September 2017 18:27 (nine years ago)

Pah! Er... Jozo Simunovic is back for us, er.... (xp)

― Wewlay Bewlay (Tom D.), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 18:28 (nine years ago)

(xp) Can't see a goal not being scored, it's Neymar et al vs. Brendan Rodgers after all.

― Wewlay Bewlay (Tom D.), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 18:29 (nine years ago)

It's wishful thinking tbh

― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 12 September 2017 18:38 (nine years ago)

Comparing the two teamsheets is pretty sobering.

― Wewlay Bewlay (Tom D.), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 18:40 (nine years ago)

7 - 3 PSG imo haha

― -_- (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 18:41 (nine years ago)

A 21 year old, two 20 years olds and an 18 year old in Celtic's starting line up - and Mbappe's younger than any of them.

― Wewlay Bewlay (Tom D.), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 18:43 (nine years ago)

Pogba's done his hammy. Disaster

― Number None, Tuesday, 12 September 2017 19:08 (nine years ago)

We were lolling in the pub at Fellaini coming on as like for like

― Cheds Baker (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 19:16 (nine years ago)

Herrera's not even on the bench for some bizarre reason

― plp will eat itself (NickB), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 19:20 (nine years ago)

Young to Fellaini lol

― Number None, Tuesday, 12 September 2017 19:22 (nine years ago)

Can't find the link anymore but Mourinho had a real "the bed's too big without you" thing to say about Fellaini recently, when he's not available. He really loves that dude.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 12 September 2017 19:24 (nine years ago)

"He's an important player for me - a lot more important than you can imagine. I feel weaker without Fellaini in my squad, doesn't matter if it's on the pitch or on the bench. If his conditions are improved, he will be selected, I need him."

― Number None, Tuesday, 12 September 2017 19:27 (nine years ago)

Messi scores! Lovely one-two with Suarez.

― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 19:33 (nine years ago)

xp That's it!

First ever goal of Messi against Buffon. He's really doing great since Neymar left tbh

― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 12 September 2017 19:36 (nine years ago)

Can see PSG scoring 7, can't see Celtic scoring 1 let alone 3.

― Wewlay Bewlay (Tom D.), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 19:46 (nine years ago)

Though I actually can't see anything because I'm going home and not watching the second half.

― Wewlay Bewlay (Tom D.), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 19:47 (nine years ago)

love mata's look of pure delight at the sight of fellaini heading a ball

Barca 2-0!!

Cannot help being reduced to total embarrassing fanboy when Messi gets his gear on

Yeah. He is ridiculous.

― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 20:13 (nine years ago)

Qarabag worse than Celtic at least.

Obviously Real Madrid are vile but who can hate any team with Luka Modric in it?

Grudgingly impressed with how they’ve managed to win it three times in a row despite not being particularly good tbh.

― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Saturday, 26 May 2018 20:34 (eight years ago)

The BBC is saying Salah will miss the World Cup.

Horrible way to lose all round.

First thing BT Sport pundits discuss is when Gareth Bale is going to move to the Premiership. May as well start as they mean to go on this summer.

― Poisoned by Johan's pea soup. (Tom D.), Saturday, 26 May 2018 20:50 (eight years ago)

tbf it seemed like it was at the forefront of his mind as well.

― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Saturday, 26 May 2018 20:51 (eight years ago)

he could probably do a job for us as cover for Barry Douglas

― A good "sexy time " album (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 26 May 2018 20:52 (eight years ago)

I hear Jonathan Walters is unsettled at Burnley, Bale the obvious replacement.

― Poisoned by Johan's pea soup. (Tom D.), Saturday, 26 May 2018 20:56 (eight years ago)

sympathies to liverpool fans, that was a shitty way to lose

I'm struggling to remember any footballer ever delivering a performance as calamitous in a major game as Karius yesterday, just feel sorry for him tbh. 24 and it just feels like his career will never recover from that.

Kind of amazing how Zidane has never *not* won the Champions League and the jury is still out on whether he's even a good manager or not.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 27 May 2018 11:22 (eight years ago)

David Seaman had a couple. Being lobbed in a European final in 94/95 and the Ronaldinho lob spring to mind? Stay maybe not as bad as last night mind.

feel for the guy and for salah

not much more to say. its an easy lfc team to like an theyve got a lot to look forward to imo

zidanes ability to keep this team winning cls despite the marauding egos is spectacular and possibly fuiud

― laurel or hardyhearin (darraghmac), Sunday, 27 May 2018 16:49 (eight years ago)

impossible to say where would suit gareth bale at this stage

what club is the equivalent of a household with a tiny amount of exquisite but fragile and startlingly expensive biscuits vs yr own equivalent of a bin of custard creams.

cmon we all had a posh mate you know what i mean

― laurel or hardyhearin (darraghmac), Sunday, 27 May 2018 16:51 (eight years ago)

Rumours Zidane is about to quit

― groovypanda, Thursday, 31 May 2018 10:42 (eight years ago)

Yep. After three CL's in a row, I think it'd be a classy move to close the door behind you. It's nigh impossible for a manager to leave RM on a high. Wonder what he'll be up to next; my guess is managing a country.

― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 31 May 2018 10:59 (eight years ago)

Think he's said that only ever wants to manage Real Madrid and France, and that's it - guess it depends how France do in the WCup this time.
