Dullard Bluteau Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 6 hours ago, The OP said: Celtic drew 1-1 away to Manchester City and Borussia Monchengladbach last season. Both of those results would see us through. Dembele played more games than all but two of the Celtic squad last season. Given that your first two points were crap I would guess that your third point is a myth and the fact is that Scottish clubs are only of a slightly better standard than Linfield, who we swept aside easily home and away, rather than everyone would draw 0-0 with us with a different referee. On the referee he was pretty shite, very fussy and not inclined to let the game flow. It felt like Rosenborg were constantly getting away with time wasting but that might just be my perception. Celtic were toothless. We always have more injuries in these qualifiers because they happen during pre-season but we really need another striker. Rogic was definitely not a centre forward and the ball kept going wide for the wingers and full backs to aim at no-one. I also think Paddy Roberts could've helped us cut through Rosenborg's rope-a-dope play with his dribbling and passing. I still think there's a good chance we'll go through as Rosenborg have to try and win the second leg and so probably won't play so much on the break. Points taken, just thought Dembele had missed more than that. I do hope all Scottish teams make it through for all our sakes although you can surely get the hint of jealousy from fans of the others not just for the refereeing advantages historically, but nowadays the shedloads of money accrued from participation in the CL. Ive always felt that Scandinavian teams are rarely intimidated by anyone, regardless of reputation, and because of that are difficult to beat. Celtic should not be relying on loan players from English teams either, they have more than enough money to get their own players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I would love to see it I very much doubt Aberdeen will make it any time soon. If it's the OF or nobody, then obviously nobody is far better.

I know we had some good times but I can't do this anymore. We'll always have the Celtic in Europe - 17/18 thread. I'll see you around, maybe.

MarkoRaj Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I like seeing Scottish internationals compete at the top level.

So you'd rather see the whole of Scottish football come down to your clubs level? And then less clubs play in Europe and more cash gone out of the game from sponsors ever increasing our games demise just because you hate the OF. You'd be peddling the same shit if it were two other Scottish clubs dominating our game. I'd rather the whole game got far better with more clubs competing at the highest level increasing our reputation and sponsorship potential. Get a grip and find a new mantra that is better for the whole game ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverWolfe Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The trick with MT is to ignore him and he'll go away and argue with somebody else. Unfortunately, I've yet to use my own advice and tend to be the somebody else ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cash that goes in is not well spread out. It's incredible when you think about it: I'm suggesting that it's not great for competition to give our already strongest, richest club an extra £20m. Somehow, this makes me the idiot. Extraordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastecoatwilly Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 If Celtic go through tomorrow night it will guarantee European footie til at lease Christmas that's good enough for me Plenty of fans on here think it's all about the dosh for me i couldn't care less,Celtic are a very stable club Weather we make 10 million from the Europa cup or over 20 million from the champions league i couldn't give a feck For me it's about playing against teams from a higher standard than our domestic opponents, giving the players we have a chance to shine on a bigger stage Our manager has got Celtic playing at a higher level it's time to find that level.

The OP Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 To be honest I think EL is more our level and we'd have a better crack at making it out of the groups and maybe even negotiating a knock out or two but the problem is that the enthusiasm and feelgood factor wouldn't be there. I enjoyed the wee Europa run under Deila where we had Salzburg, Dinamo Zagreb and Astra (perhaps mainly because a Thursday 8pm kick off is good) but the top tier was shut and the atmosphere was generally flat until we drew Inter in the last 32.
