Celtic v Maribor - Official Match Thread (UCL qualifier, 20th Aug, 19:45 SS5)

From looking at them in the stadium, and having a good look at them in princes street: 100% skinheads and looking for trouble. You know the type.

 

Youll have it on tuesday if it doesn't show up by Wednesday phone virgin up and get them to activate it

 

When's this game played? Are we home or away first leg?

Hail Hail

 

Yes, the playoff round is the same as the group stages - SKY and ITV have the coverage.

 

I think <?xml:namespace prefix = "st1" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Maribor</st1lace></st1:City> are beatable. They are a good side, correct, but the Slovenian league is not too good.

<st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Maribor</st1lace></st1:City> is a lovely small city, close to the Austrian boarder. Certainly worth visiting.

20th august away first

 

Nightmare to get to on the cheap due to the close proximity of the tie.

 

Apparently Graz in Austria is the 'easiest' airport, and that's an hour and a half away from Maribor.

No doubt Celtic will try and put on a charter at an extortionate rate.

 

Are the Legia fans mentally challenged? When will they stop blaming us for * up themselves? :smiley-laughing002:

 

If we don't add at least 2/3 players for this tie I can't see us progressing

Right now it's scary how short of quality our first team and squad are, where the * are the goals going to come from?

 

Yes it's the closest but the flight prices are extortionate. Got something booked anyway.

Club are looking at a day trip - £369. * that.

 

Can we actually sign and register players for this game?

 

Yes

 

Think someone said that this Wednesday was the deadline...... so we'd want to do some very quick business.

 

Yes but we also get up to 24hours before the game to register just one more player.

Ideally bring someone in before wed and if foster is away bring a second player in before this tie

 

Give LA Galaxy £200k to loan Robbie Keane for a month, with a £500k bonus if we reach the Group Stages.

If we're making a signing to play and improve our chances it'd have to someone like him. A class intelligent player who'd probably rip the pish out a team like Maribor.

 

Don't play 4-3-3

 

What route are you going?

 

Feel like Deila has to accept he can't play the passing attacking football he wants to play for games like this. He's not been in long enough to implement it and it's useless away from home against teams like Maribor/Legia who will get you on the break.

He needs to just lock us down over there, get the 0-0 draw, or sneak an away goal on the counter attack and get them back at park head, might not be the most attractive way but it's the Lennon way, the safest way, the best way.

 

surely we can buy the team who just thrashed us 6-1
