Anyone know which channel is showing the home leg on Wednesday can't find it in any listings
24 Jul 2015 22:10:35
Only on Celtic tv up to now mate.
24 Jul 2015 23:49:17
Do not even think it is on CTV
25 Jul 2015 11:12:25
Stream called Firstrow, some sponsored by online betting , but go through the links, get rid of the ads, usually pretty good.

Seen it was nakamuras birthday today who is everyone's favourite free kick taker they have seen for our club there have been seem amazing dead ball specialists down the years from John Collins PvH Di canio larsson maloney mulgrew VVD and commons
24 Jul 2015 18:45:47
Kris Commons is not a dead ball specialist lol think he's scored one free kick and that was a deflection against Dundee Utd if IIRC. Reluctant to put Mulgrew there as well think he scored a few early when he came here against Motherwell, Hibs and Sion but he's not been consistant at them over the years at all. VVD isn't bad at them and I feel pretty confident when he steps up for them he's got great technique definitely the best free kick taker at the club imo atm although Griffiths showed at Hibs he can ping a few.
Agree with the rest of those names although Petrov, Alan Thompson and wee Lubo were great FK and deadball takers.
Nakamura though takes the best for best dead ball specialist for me though and doubt he will ever be beaten. Best Free kick and dead ball taker inn the world imo at one point. Immensely accurate.
24 Jul 2015 19:07:11
Suppose your right about commons mate lol.my top 3 are
3 Thompson
2 larsson
1 nakamura
24 Jul 2015 19:15:46
I think I would have wee Murdo in there somewhere.
24 Jul 2015 19:39:34
I remember big Pierre's 2 for Feyenoord against the filth very well.
24 Jul 2015 20:04:17
Stokes has to be up there too?
Scored 1 against Killie and thinks he is now a specialist!
24 Jul 2015 20:12:04
Has to be LUBO??
24 Jul 2015 20:32:51
Has to be naka for me! His free kick against Manchester United will live long in the memory!
24 Jul 2015 21:13:36
PVH for me
24 Jul 2015 22:00:33
Naka not only the best dead ball specialist for the hoops but one of the best I've seen in the game
24 Jul 2015 23:22:50
Although Tommy Gemmell could fairly whack a free kick.
24 Jul 2015 23:25:22
Surely has to be naka, followed by lubo, then Thompson . Larsson my hero but free kicks he's not at that level. Similar to his penalties as well.
25 Jul 2015 01:19:19
Pee--air there's only one Pee--air
There's only one Pee--air!! Greatest in my time you knew it was a goal.HH thommyj
25 Jul 2015 02:50:56
cant believe only one person has said lubo, does nobody else remember the right foot straight over to the left foot at motherwell? I'm not talking about the corners he done regularly, he pinged a right footed shot off the bar then we got another freekick about 40secs later and he hit with his left which the keeper pulled off a decent save. just me ok lol
25 Jul 2015 12:02:34
Big shuggy dwodwyck could fair whack them I liked john Collins though
Not only free kicks but his general set peice play
The one at Celtic park v rangers was inventive and deadly
Jc naka pvh
Did chrissy Morris have a rep can remember a few cracking strikes by him not sure if it was dead ball though
25 Jul 2015 17:55:42
Naka's goal vs United was the best free kick in memory, and more importantly, the most decisive. Was that the year we made it out of qualifying? Anyway, we got to slack off half the world footballing support for months on that one.
25 Jul 2015 18:44:16
Pierre for me. Then lubo then naka. Henke's not even close, ad put Maloney above him for free kicks.
24 Jul 2015 11:10:24
I loved Botoșani the Romanian team that played Legia Warsaw last night's sense of humour.Kitting their ballboys out in Celtic kits to wind up the Poles.
24 Jul 2015 01:58:03

{Ed007's Note - Welcome back cobber but you've freaked me right out - it's exactly a year (and 15 mins) since you last posted - that's just plain bizarre! Ya freak! (sweat)
24 Jul 2015 02:15:24
Haha thanks Ed. I think I just love this time of year, full of hope :)
{Ed007's Note - Aren't we all buddy, maybe you'll start posting more and get back to raving about Rogic that he's getting game time. (yes)
24 Jul 2015 03:40:06
Ahh yes, he seems to be doing what he needs to to get back. Hopefully he has the typical Aussie attitude and works his backside off whilst listening to every bit of advice and taking it on board. I really think RD is the type of coach Rogic can improve through. I hope so.
I'd also love to see more of Jackson Irvine, it's ridiculous he wasn't picked up by any Australian clubs or by any Australian groups such as the AIS or even the VIS as a youngster. We could have a really good player on our hands all because his old man is Scottish.
It's good for my kids to see Aussies playing in the Hoops, there's more of a connect there for them.
24 Jul 2015 08:02:02
Hi Melb Bhoy
Love Melbourne (and sydney) incidentally; went to Oz for christmas / new year in 2004 (tsunami year unfortunately) ….
your "list" is spot on….assuming we go through and assuming everything else goes to form, I would think that we would want to avoid Zagreb and Lech Poznan
would be happy with APOEL (not as strong as recent times) BATE (Dundalk ran them very close) and Maccabi, the latter being the most favoured opposition
IF (and a big if) we get past the Azerbaijanis
24 Jul 2015 00:54:56
Well done to the Engish Fa and their dealings with he of the exploding egg. A ban longer than Suarez! Would never happen up here indeed Clubfoot would probably get a commendation
24 Jul 2015 07:17:26
Yeah because being a racist and biting people is not as bad as what broadfoot done. The celtoc supporting sfa went easy on ciftci, I'm feeling a conspiracy theory 😂.
24 Jul 2015 13:27:23
Was it not racist re marks that he made Cee? If so your point is caller? Or is saying remarks about Catholic s ok?
{Ed007's Note - Racist and sectarian remarks and of course we know there's people in Scotland that thinks that's OK, they sing about it at every match or Klan gathering they attend.}
24 Jul 2015 14:03:47
Your right cee there is a conspiracy on the go and it seems to involve sweeping the sectarian and racist abuse spewed out by your fans under the carpet, maybe they are worried if they punish you fat sally will want them named and they personally or there houses will be in danger . Remind me what was the punishment for the racist and sectarian abuse handed out to Stan collymore , that could be clearly heard on tv?
