Like everyone else I hate these international breaks so let me get back to our CL campaign.
I was talking to a couple of my Celtic buddies and was worried about the complacency they were showing for the double header against the German team.
Their attitude seems to be, after the City game we are as good as nailed on for 6 points. Yes we played well against the EPL millionaires but we still only drew, it will take another 2 big, big performances against Borrussia for us to come out on top, I can maybe see us winning at Celtic Park and losing in Germany as our away form has always been poor in europe. What we must try is to better their score say win 2-0 here and lose 2-1 over there then our head to head would be better. Then we must try and keep ahead of them in final two games to gain Europa spot.

Tim I think it's a double edged sword. we all want to sign players with an international pedigree and we all want our players to do well on international duty, then we complain when it disrupts our momentum. We can't have it all un-fortunately these games are a necessary evil.

We must adopt the same attitude for every game must be the same, the attitude against Barcelona was disgraceful, this 'we are playing the best team on the planet attitude ', is a lot of crap, other teams won't stand back and admire these ' superior players', they will get stuck into them, they will attack them, they will expose their defensive frailties, they will lose goals but they will score goals, BMG is the hardest game for Celtic on this group, but it is the most winnable, play the right way Celtic can win in Msnchester and Barcelona, but underestimate BMG, and they are doomed.

Pretty sure the attitude is the same for every game. After the City game Rodgers and Brown both said the focus was on Dundee and getting the win there.

Some supporters might lose the plot. Brendan it the team won't. This is a top Bundesliga team and they are the favourites. We will need a top performance at home. I'm still not convinced we are atrobg enough to win in the road yet. If we take 3 points at home I will be happy.

The truth always comes out sooner or later . I have for quite a while wondered whether Aindoh was actually a Celtic supporter, it wasnt just him talking about Dembele, the young one receiving some form of child abuse at Celtic, it has been the level of hatred he has shown towards many Celtic employees and never praising any .
However the clearest sign of the lot is from his post above when he referring to Celtic say THEY will be doomed .
The rest of us, may criticise Celtic managers and players but we always claim some connection and certainly not they.

Oldbhoy your getting a bit pedantic now are we not, the child abuse thing was the wrong phrase to use, I accept, am just not happy with all this pressure being put on a thirteen year old lad, would it have did him any harm to keep him out of the limelight for snother year, anyway I must have missed your view on it, are you happy with the way a thirteen year old has been thrown before the workds nedia?

Bmg a harder game than barca? That's the most rediculous thing I've ever heard!
I hope to God it's not true after the 7 they put past us last time because if it is we are in a whole lot of trouble bhoys.

The reason Barcelona won by so much wssnt because they are so good, it was because we were so bad, we have to get rid of this notion that Barcelona are the best team ever, and just stand back and admire them, there is a way to play them and a way not to play them, and we were the epitome of how not to play them, it will be a harder game because the section of the support who expect Celtic to get a result just by turning up, they (Oldbhoy knows who I mean) , will be disappointed, this will be a hard game because Celtic have to give their all, that will be enough to winn anything less the they are doomed ( Oldbhoy knows who I mean)

Sorry man I have to disagree.
In 11 meetings since 04 we've beat them twice and if I'm being 100% honest we were more than fortunate to win those games.
Have they not won the CL 4 times in the last 10 or so years under 3 different managers?
The 7-0 game I agree we didn't turn up but Barcelona were superb.
Every time we lose a game we can't blame ourselves that's just ignorance.
I'm sure fergie could have used your tactical knowledge when his all conquering man utd teams were being embarrassed by them in the CL finals lol.
If we put the same effort into the next 4 games in the CL like the city game I'm positive we will have European football after Christmas.

I am not sure what you mean by workds nedia?
It is just as troubling as coming across a poster who I thought was a Celtic supporter who has now gone to the other side and when he speaks of Celtic he refers to Celtic by speaking of they .
P
Sometimes posters get carried away with their own importance and instead of worrying about the threat of a possible injury, he seems to think the workds nedia or is it ( world's media would have all assembled for that Celtic under 20 match . I would have surprised if there was any media present from more than 50 miles away . I don't think many from South America U S, Eastern Europe, Australia or Africa would been bothered . I would imagine local Scottish media would be far more damaging to Dembele's long term Celtic career.

Worlds media, fat fingers and a small phone.
09 Oct 2016 19:08:11
So Oldbhoy, you think it was a good idea then to play the thirteen year old lad, we will have to disagree on that,
09 Oct 2016 19:29:51
Had to have a chuckle at that Oldbhoy, 'sometimes posters get carried away with their own importance', couldn't think of a more apt way to describe yourself.
10 Oct 2016 16:30:31
Aindoh, I really have no idea whether it was a good idea bringing the World media to the West of Scotland to watch a 13 year old play 10 minutes in an under 20 game I would assume that the Celtic Football club employ experts who are on the spot and have experience in accessing these things . I would expect they would put both the short term and medium term future of Dembele first and foremost .
To be quite honest I think it is very pompous of u Aindoh, from afar to keep going on about this as if you could have the slightest notion whether on this ocassionu happen to be right or whether this is just another example of u rambling away for self importance.

Thats ok then, Oldbhoy.
