The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[T Fearon]

Celtic must show the same authority tomorrow night,the gap between them and their opponents in terms of budget,stature history etc replicates that of Man City over Steua.Sadly I fear we will concede,win narrowly 2-1 to set up a very nervous second leg trip.

Do you want to back that statement up with some figures?

Total Market Value for Players

Celtic  48.03Mill
HAPOEL BEER SHEVA 10.88Mill

Steau Bucharest 22.31Mill
Manchester City 501.08Mill

Celtic still have a good advantage about 5 times the cost, but to say its on a par with Man Citys 250 times is a bit far out lol

Stature and history are worth a two goal head start. Everyone knows that.

We're still replying to that tool bucket

Those figures for the players are just made up FFS. K Tireney is worth £425.000 and Ambrose is worth £2.13 million...aye right. Eoghan O'Connell is apparently worth £43.000. Pinch of salt.

On the game tonight i feel it will be tough to break them down as they play 5 across the back, J Forrest & S Sinclair will be key in this game getting in behind their full backs. A close game is likely and we may have to settle for a 1-0 scoreline. However, the tie could be more interesting in Israel as they will have to open up a bit and come at Celtic which we could hit them on the break.

Hopefully the crowd and atmosphere can unsettle them tonight and hopefully i'm wrong and we get a 3-0 result (fingers crossed).

Yes but having a chav on your team is minus a goal so net benefit is plus one I think.

Interesting to read in I News today that Dundalk players wanted Celtic as they reckon they could take them (after all a team from Gibraltar ran them close).It is precisely this perception that Rodgers has been brought in to dispense with.Failure to qualify is neither excusable nor an option given the investment the Board has made this summer.

They probably wanted to play Celtic as that draw would sell out the Aviva and it would be a bigger pay day for the club

[T Fearon]

No.They reckoned they had a realistic chance against Celtic.They've already pockets 5 or 6m euros and will sell out the Aviva anyway.Money isn't the issue.

They didn't really think they could take them. Pinch of salt tony.

[T Fearon]

They did and I for one wouldn't have been all that surprised

[themac_23]

Aye its easy to say that now that they've avoided us. bit like mouthing off about what you'd do to someone after the whole thing has been settled down and you've someone in-between you
