If you’re going down, go down fighting!
I’m going to be brief for once, as there’s really nothing to say. My words mean next to nothing, Celtic will do their talking on the pitch, and no doubt give us plenty to talk about rendering a lead article virtually useless.
I don’t want this journey to end but chances are tonight is Parkheads last European foray for the season.
Chances are we get beaten.
Chances are the enormous gap in both clubs finances shows itself when the final whistle blows.
But chance itself is a fickle thing, never to be relied upon, but to be fully celebrated when it smiles on the unfavoured, the underdog, the lucky recipient. I’ve seen bigger clubs than Bayern walk away from East Glasgow stunned. Watched much better players than Harry Kane leave empty handed. Saw 11 heroes in Hoops leave European football shocked and bedazzled.
I’ve only one wish, and it’s not a win or even a draw.
It’s a simple wish.
It’s that we truly give them a proper game tonight.
If the Germans progress they progress, but I want them to be made to work for it, to be forced into digging deep.
Leave it all on the pitch Celtic, walk off that sacred turf knowing you truly gave it everything you had, and let the footballing God’s deal with the rest. If you go down, go down fighting.
We’re all behind you, you’ve made us proud.
God Bless you Bhoys.
You’ll Never Walk Alone.

Best wishes to The Rebusette,who is not having her troubles to seek. And haste ye back.
There is a lot of anger but, more dangerously, increased apathy on the likes of FF which I look into in times of Ibrox distress.
The hardcore majority still have not grasped the concept of sustainability, and the impact it has on their club. New manager, regime change and They’ll be back, is their thought process.
A drop of 10k ST holders would have a huge negative impact on a business generating revenues in the £80m’s but running expenditure in the £90m’s.
Rebus,
When I said about things coming to a head, it was in no way related to anything to do with you, buddy.
When you mentioned not posting, I thought it was because of some of the more unsavoury things written by a certain poster …sorry if I misread your intentions 👍
And I only mentioned you and I crossing swords (Wish I hadn’t now) because that was kinda the last interaction (I think) we had.
As I said, I always liked reading your take on things.
Very easy to misunderstand each other when it’s just words on a wee football site.
Anyway, I hope you’re good.
Rebus, sorry, I meant to add my best wishes for your wife 💚
Triple H,
Jesus, where do you start with that!?
they are lucky to have him 😂😂
Rebus,
Best wishes 💚
Heading out shortly for a pre match beer and some great patter.
These are the days and nights which are fantastic 🍀
It’s going to be a helluva rollercoaster ride tonight and I for one can’t wait.
Celtic 13/2
Draw 4/1
Bayern 4/11.

Greetings all, from a snowy DC, Disunited State of Trump.
I share a hope with Jobo. At one point tonight ( and preferably more than once ), I want to hear the noise lift the roof off the stands, preferably starting in the first minute.
Things I don’t want to see include:
Us allowing Bayern to seize possession from kick off, passing it around all their players, giving everybody a touch for minutes before we get a look in.
Greg Taylor ( and to be fair, probably under instruction ) moving inside to bolster our outmanned midfield, leaving acres of space for Coman, Sane or Musiala to bore into goal from the right, much like Brest allowed Dembele yesterday.
Us committing too many players upfield for corners, leaving us exposed at the back.
Us tackling Kane without making damn sure we get the ball, as he is one of the greatest diving cheats in world football. He has developed this into an art form, without too many exaggerated antics as he hits the turf, fooling many an otherwise competent referee.
Last night I posted a Kompany presser. I have been impressed by him. He is articulate and savvy, fluent in several languages, very comfortable in front of the press, and he has the total respect of his players. I think he has learned a lot from Pep, and will go on to have a very successful career.
I watched Bayern’s 3-0 loss in Rotterdam, and as I commented at the time, it was one of the strangest, most bizarre games I have ever seen. Munich totally dominated, in every facet of the game. From memory, they had 30 shots at goal. Neuer did not have one single save to make. The Dutch scored 3 goals on their only 3 attempts. Each was the result of lightning fast breakout cavalry charges by their entire team on a change of possession near their goal.
Fantastic and almost unbelievable to watch if you were a Feyenoord fan.
I would take the same tonight.🙏

One thing in the back of my mind that troubles me is not the fact of the result but whether those idiots with flares respect the managers request and refrain from using them . I know its a big request as there’s always one but the last thing we need is beating Bayern but the headlines are about flares and how bad the whole support is.

Hi Rebus:
Best wishes for a successful visit to the orthopedic surgeon.
You do realize that when Trump annexes Canada as the 51st state, with a constitutional amendment to only allow Republican representatives, that such a visit to a specialist will require Medicare and private insurance, a substantial co-pay, a referral from a general practitioner, 2 types of ID ( one photographic ) and a credit card ( in the likely event insurance stiffs you on several charges )?
Something to look forward to, eh?🤣
HH
Iniquitous IV😊
Just realised, reading back, why Rebus may have been slightly confused by my post this morning, as it was in relation to a whole load of posts that have since been deleted.
Much ado about nothing.
Wee anecdote on the Bayern manager tonight.
Cant mind which player it was that leaked it at the time but when we had Jason Denayer on loan the players called him sevco cos they reckoned he was the new Kompany,

Are you buying?🤣
Hope it’s a fantastic night!

So, who’s watching Everton Liverpool tonight? Come on, last ever Merseyside derby at Goodson.😆
I’ve never had the privilege of seeing this young lady before, and happened on this clip by accident.
She is giving it tight to Sally McCoist and others of his ilk.
Over here, she would be described as a “Gutsy broad.”
Respect.

AFTERNON ALL AND JIM AND MAGUA, bobby from last night that was the route I would have taken,,great minds think a like😎😎😎
Last read of the day. Tx for the good wishes. I met the Rebusette when she was 16. We had a turbulent winching for 6 years. I left for London, England and the year apart convinced each of us that we were the real deal. A midnight call from a call box in Streatham Hill station in Jan. 1970 confirmed our futures. Married in March, 1970.
She is everything to me. I hope others have a similar feeling.
BAD…thought it was a nothing, but thanks for the nod.
I have nothing to say about Celtic at the moment so best to say nothing.
All the best, tout le monde. Let me rest awhile.
Rebus
hey mike all my in-laws will be watching, and quite a few going,😎😎😎❤ remember watching Joe harper at Goodison when he came down from Scotland, that shows you how old I am😎😎😎😎
Rebus,
All the very best.
B team go down 4 – 2 on penalties
IQ4,
Some crucial things happening in the Great White North which I shall not list.
The next year will expose certain dynamics…Canada’s reaction to Trump and the reaction of the various institutions of the US to Trump.
Can he break Canada within 4 years? I doubt it.
Bye,
Rebus
some late team news, big yogi tackled wee jimmy at training at seamil this morning, so jinky is out ,so from what i can gather the team is simpson craig and gemmell murdoch McNeil and clark hughes wallace chalmers auld and lennox that team could beat anyone😎❤😎👍
REBUS67
Great White North? You’re not kidding-apparently,Toronto area set for twenty inches of the white stuff over the next few days. Hope you and The Rebusette manage to avoid that.
BIGPACKY
Thanks,mate. Pity I won’t be doing much of that in future.
BOBBY what do you mean by that, have you retired from the rat race ❤❤
REBUS67
All the best to you and your wife my wife had osteoporosis so a few fractures in her life.
BOBBY its only 20cm looked in the garage this morning and couldn’t find my snow shovel,used it on Sunday so i think it was nicked….have to use nmbr two shovel and snowblower.
News on now saying in some areas ice pellets and freezing rain mixed in.
No seen as many polis vans since the Miners Strike, fkn ridiculous here
Kai Havertz out for rest of the season with a knee injury. Never thought he was the answer to their problem number 9 role, but he was the best they have. Think they might now regret not going out and getting a proper striker.
Bada
rumor I heard was that Big Packy was coming up for the game …
MIT
Canny be BP,the place would be shut if it was him.
C76
Ha! You are right. I stand corrected😆
Two of our Group opponents about to kick off Brugge vs Atalanta.
Should be interesting.
The Bayern fans will have had a go at drinking the city dry, buying up all the cheap booze they’ll be able to get here.
Bit different to when they go to Scandanavia, other some other half normal place 😕
Brugge miss great chance after 8 minutes. Very open game.
CRAIG AND MIKE😎😎😎😎😎😎

Hi BAD:
Your post reminded me of watching Sammy Davis Jr. many years ago. He was recounting a tale of his pal Dean Martin landing in Toronto before a concert.
According to Davis, almost the first thing Martin saw was a giant billboard for their national Ginger Ale with the text “Drink Canada Dry!”
Said Davis, “And by God, he tried!!”
BRUGGE 1-0. Great goal. Stadium comes alive.
Watching Brugge-Atalanta, you realize that both teams are of very high quality in terms of skill, speed and technique, but the contrast with Real Madrid yesterday, even with their second choice defence, is simply startling.
Atalanta very calm while under siege.
Based on available data, the average price of a pint of beer in Glasgow is approximately £3.82. In Munich, the average price for a 0.5-liter beer is around €4.17.
As of February 12, 2025, the exchange rate is approximately 1 GBP = 1.14 EUR. Converting Glasgow’s average pint price to euros: £3.82 * 1.14 ≈ €4.35.
Therefore, on average, a pint of beer in a pub in Glasgow (€4.35) is slightly more expensive than in Munich (€4.17).
AULDHEID if you are going to parkhead tonight, yes parkhead not celtic park😎👍 please dont wear your tuxedo and dont buy any bovril, I cant afford another dry cleaning bill like the vojvodina game😎😎😎😎hope you are ok buddy.H.H 👍
Atalanta 1-1.
Lose concentration for a moment at a throw in, and Brugge are punished.
Champions League very unforgiving.
IQ4,
That was a running joke in our family for years.
Dad always said that was the reason i was born in Canada.
Funnily enough, I think he had a good go at it.
Teams up…
