Do RTE have Tuesdays these days?

Celtic v Real Madrid looks a much attractive prospect than Sevilla v Manchester City.

I’d say RTE will go for Celtic if they have the Tuesday match but if it’s TV3 they’ll go for Man City.

The Wednesday fixtures look more appealing overall than Tuesday. Some excellent match ups there.

Nice one. I think Celtic have a right shout of getting at least a draw, maybe even winning.

Be interesting to see how Barcelona do this year. They made light work of Sevilla away from home yesterday. Their group opponents Bayern Munich have had a poor enough start to the season and I expect their manager Nagelsmann will come under pressure quickly. I fancy Inter Milan to do them on Wednesday.

Did you see the Barcelona game?

Sevilla could have had five goals. They’ve a lot work to do imo.

I fancy Celtic to win. Real Madrid were very poor in last years group phase and i doubt they’ll fancy a trip to Glasgow Tuesday evening.

When pushed at his presser yesterday ancellotti couldn’t name a single Celtic player.

That demebele for Barcelona was very good at times last night. It seems neymar, messi and Mbappe are flying it too at psg. Rashford and sancho clicking for man united.

There seems to be a lot of dubious characters around Europe playing well. I’d say the World Cup has a lot to do with it. Neymar in particular looks much fitter than usual.

Arsenal could have had five goals today but they didn’t get them.

The disco lights will br sensational

A gang of Norwegian lads from the local canned fish processing factory stuck it to Celtic in Europes lowest competition a few months ago and you think Celtic will do the kings of Europe ?

Real Madrid lost to fc sheriff in the group stage last year.

I think Celtic are a little like Ireland in soccer. They’ll always raise their games as underdogs. They’ve gotten plenty of results against big European sides.

Celtic will be humming on Tuesday. If real aren’t at it they’ll be in trouble Imo.

The Seville v Barca game was unreal. As you said, Barca should’ve been 5 down in first 20 minutes. Some turnaround.

Yep it was good tbf but hard to see Barca doing much in Europe with that defending.

Your man demebele could have a huge World Cup. He’d some man to bring on against tiring defences in the heat.

France will be hard bate at the world cup

They’ve so many good players it could become an issue for them. You need a squad who gets along. They’ve a heap of trouble makers as always.

Pogbas brother is due to on the French version of the late late show this week to show evidence of Paul getting some guy to burden Mbappe with bad luck.
