Rud eile ;

Cobh Ramblers player Proud Papish Preston this evening in a friendly at Turners Cross .

I fucking despair .

Who were on zewlakow and Saganowski? They like their analysis. The match commentators are generally as shite as ours but the lads in the studio are ok.

18 comments are along the lines of why are you reporting on the huns

Early goal for Dembele.

Simunovic gets a straight red

Here’s the commentary from flashscore.

Jozo Simunovic (Celtic) must think that he is playing a different sport because his behaviour has nothing to do with football and the referee has no choice but to show him a straight red card!

Hmmm. It was silly alright.

The Dembele goal

This referee is a clown.

Dembele 2-0 with a penalty. Mad decision.

Third goal from Forrest. Nice move this.

Late penalty for Valur in Norway means Rosenborg are going out on away goals unless they score in injury time.

Penalty to Rosenberg now and they go 3-1 up.

updates as per above
no change in predictions

Seeded teams in bold.

Any thoughts on who should play for Celtic tomorrow?

Simunovic being missing causes a big enough problem.

Bring Lustig back for his first game of the season and go:
Lustig- Hendry - Ajer - Tierney

Or go a back three with

Hendry - Ajer - Tierney
and get McGregor to go wing back with Forrest as the other wing back.

One match ban for Simunovic?
