Atletico Madrid v Celtic, September 15th

Whats the story with the ESPN coverage?
Im in ROI and its in the listings to be shown Thursday night however it says not available in ROI?

 

Think it is on Setanta Ireland aswell for those in the 26. That is probably why ESPN don't have the rights to show it in the south

 

My brother lives in Madrid and has a website
www.madridfacts.com
For anyone traveling over this may help as there is loads of information about the city,travel info ,bars and so on , I hope this helps

 

Doesn't mean a thing to me. Most people, like myself, don't have Setanta Ireland

 

You'll get a good link if ESPN are showing it Slaw.

 

* sick of watching games on the lappy.
Was looking forward to watching a game on TV for a change. * right off ESPN and SKY.

Rant over.

 

Really lookin' forward to this game.....win,lose or draw i'm just delighted the Tic are playing European football and collecting some much needed cash.

A.Madrid 2 Celtic 2

C'mon the Hoops

 

the more i think about this game and the chance we might get hammered, i come under an impression of '* it, just go all out'.

i really hope we don't play too cautiously and conservative. we should just go and enjoy the game and take it to them.

Im getting more nervous about this game as it approaches, not feeling confident but still looking foward to it kind of thing.

 

Not to confident about this one 4 points out of the next two games would be amazing I'll let the head rule and go for 1-1

 

I'm the complete opposite tbh.

I'm not fussed about Thursday in the slightest, just want it out the way as Sunday is the one I'm buzzing for.

1-1 a super Charlie Mulgrew free kick in the last 10 minutes to give us a vital point away from home
Cmon Celtic
Hail hail

 

Yeah me to

 

My prediction for this match is that we'll be beaten by the better team and a lot of people will blame Brown or Samaras.

 

I hope we don't get beaten by the better team and I don't end up blaming the manager for playing Samaras or Brown!

I can understand playing more conservative tactics in this kind of game but what is essential is that we play the guys that can make something out of nothing. I'm talking about if we are pinned back for 89 mins we need someone on the pitch that can conjure somthing out of nothing from 1 opportunity. In my eyes this means Forrest, Ki and Mulgrew MUST play.

Forrest can grab something in a quick counter.
Ki might be able to let 1 fly from distance if finds himself in space.
Mulgrew if we get a fortunate free kick somewhere.

These are the players European teams need to make the difference between a loss and a draw.
