Celtic vs Legia Warsawa (UCL 3rd round qualifier, August 6th 7.45. NOT ON TV).

I think we should go old school 4-4-1-1. We need as many people in the midfield tonight without being pressed back. It also presents the opportunity to attack out wide. We need to win this one by keeping the ball to lessen the risk of an away goal as much as possible - I think more men in midfield will let us do that.

Taking my lucky scarf to the game tonight. It's a Celtic v Shakthar scarf from when Donati scored a 93rd minute winner. It worked against Karagandy last year, so here's hoping!

Working 11.45 to 8.15, I'm hoping when I get in we will be 3 - 0 up :icon_mrgreen:

Rain's to stay off. Party time in Edinburgh. We're going to do this!!!!!!!!

 

Mum is going to Murrayfield to get me a ticket just now. Don't wanna sit near the away fans and I wasn't at the Reykjavik match. Anyone able to tell me where they sit? Is it the same layout as CP?

 

Anyone know if you can u pick tickets up at the stadium tonight i mean if i book them online now can i collect them ??

 

One thing is certain, this is going to be a very interesting game. Anything can happen really--here's 5 scenarios (2 unlikely and 3 probable):

Scenario 1 (unlikely)

Celtic players go through a magical metamorphosis--the same team that played atrociously in Warsaw one week ago, now miracolously turns into Messi-clones and plays a great game. Legia, on the other hand, is completely lost: Radović forgets how to score, Kosecki and Duda can't run with the ball and the defence is even worse than usually. Celtic-Legia 4-0.

Scenario 2 (unlikely)

Celtic starts a crazy all out attack from the 1st minute of the game, but unfortunately Celtic's players are the same human beings that they were one week ago. Legia, who usually play better away from home, f*cks Celtic in every possible hole on the counter. Celtic-Legia 0-3.

Scenario 3 (probable)

Celtic plays cautious positional attack and manages to score a goal or two. Legia parks the bus, but one of their counter attacks succeeds. Celtic-Legia 2-1.

Scenario 4 (probable)

Celtic attacks from the 1st minute, Legia counters, there are defensive mistakes on both sides, but neither team manages to score, 0-0.

Scenario 5 (probable)

Legia scores an early goal on the counter and Celtic has to chase the score. Celts play very well in front of the home crowd, score two goals, but concede again on the counter. In the stoppage time Celtic scores another goal, but it's too little too late. Celtic-Legia 3-2.

Of course we could think of hundreds of different variations of the above scenarios, and that's why I think this is going to be a very interesting game.

 

I was in area 3 in the West Stand for the last game and it was a pretty good seat.

Is it on tv?

 

Not on TV. Might even struggle for links but I'm hopeful

 

So how many tickets have been sold?

 

They will be in the north stand. I'd avoid the west stand. I was there for the KR game and the second half was a bit * with it being so far from the pitch and the gamebeing played in the other half. I bought tickets for this match in section 10 of the east stand, should be a good view.

 

think it will be north stand 17 18 and 20

 

you can buy them at the stadium pretty sure but if you buy them online you can print your own

 

Cheers! Had to settle for South Stand 6, what they offered my mum at the ticket office. Shouldn't be too bad.

Looks like it might sell out before kick off!
