Helsinki vs. Celtic 08/08 18:00 CL Live Premier Sports

Nothing stupid tonight heads down grind out a result won't be easy never is with us

 

Difficult tie this on the plastic of Helsinki, we need to control the middle of the park and close the game down, hit them on the break when we can and if we go 1-0 up that could be good enough. But its a difficult one.

 

Win.

 

Pubs in town defo showing it???

 

I dont know why but ive got this feeling we will go out. But then a part of me says we drew 1-1 with udinese who are much better than Helsinki will ever be. MON EH CELTS

 

I'd love for us to * embarass them. But would of take a nice well controlled 0-1 win for us.

I think samaras will be key for us tonight

 

Only 5 hours left. Hope I make it to the pub before kick-off time. Getting quite nervous about this.

 

you need ball players on this type of pitch, you cant have passengers either, i would go with the younger players here able to play at a faster pace.

 

Yeah they have it, mate. It'll only be on medium wave though:

There'll be a link online too, no doubt.

 

whats the crack with premier sports can u not sign up for one month and how much will it cost

 

Its on premier sports so there should be a good link online

 

Bstrd...I'm covering for someone's * English class and'll get in just as the final whistle is blown.................* same thing happened Saturday.

Why the * do people need to learn English right at the exact time when Celtic are playing, and why can't they go to someone else for it? It's a conspiracy, I'm sure. Never again.

I'll have fingers, toes, eyes and nuts all crossed on the metro all the way home................

 

I got that stream pro last time, and it was perfect tbh. Crystal clear and never lagged once. Got another £2.99 day today. Would have got the 3 month one but my pays not in yet and having £13 in the bank meant i cant

Would buy the channel but im a virgin media customer... were not worthy of premier sports

 

Is it disrespectful though?

1 win in last 33 away European matches

Only the result in 10 of those 33 matches would be good enough to see us through tonight.

since 2000 only really 5 seasons have we achieved respectable levels in Europe

2002-2003 Final of UEFA Cup
2003-2004 Quarter Final of UEFA, beating Barca in the previous round

and the two seasons during Strachans rign where we qualified from the Champions League group stages only to be put out by the previous season winners.

The rest has been less than glorious, take into account the mid 80's until 2000 and you can see where they are coming from.

Maybe more truth in that than a lot of people are willing to admit.

But still get right into them!

After all that doom and gloom I'm still going to predict a 2-1 win for Celtic :icon_mrgreen:

 

im feeling a lil apprehensive about tonite really

why is Lennon so negative about the pitches, have we not got 2-3 at lennoxtown

 

How many of those teams were of Helsinki's standard though. Their not even the best team in Finland this season. Not saying their *, they're probably one of the best unseeded teams in the Champions pathway this season, but still they're not even near the standard of teams like Utrecht, Braga and Sion. Never mind Atletico Madrid, Rennes and Udinese.

 

Cant believe i finish work at 6... Atleast im a 2 minute drive down the road.. Lets hope for a 5 minute delay to starting

 

I'm confident that if this team plays like I know they can then we will reach the play-offs:

--------------Forster------------
---------------------------------
Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izaguirre
---------------------------------
------Kayal Wanyama Ledley-----
Commons----------------Samaras
---------------------------------
--------------Hooper ------------

 

Never mind then ya bunch of *! :icon_mrgreen: So far McChuills, Failte, Molly Malones & Drouthy (sp?) in Queen St definitely got it if anyone's interested
