topcat Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If they go out at this stage, do they get a crack Thursday night Channel 5 or will there be no autumn/winter comedy shows this season??? No Safety net at this stage If Warsaw go through to the playoff Celtic are out of Europe http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2015/draws/round=2000586/index.html 13.00CET, 8 August, Nyon For the play-offs, the third qualifying round winners join the 15 losing sides from the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round and further teams who begin their European campaigns here. The clubs are split into seven groups for the draw. Within the groups, an equal number of sides are seeded and unseeded in accordance with the club rankings established at the start of the season. Teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. For each group, balls containing the seeded sides are placed in one bowl and balls containing unseeded teams in another. A ball is taken from each bowl and placed in a large empty bowl in the middle, where they are shuffled. The first club drawn plays the first leg at home. ?UEFA.com 1998-2014. All rights reserved.

The Real Maroonblood Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If they go out here then they go into the final qualifying round for Europa League. A total of 62 teams play in the play-off round: 18 teams which enter in this round, the 29 winners of the third qualifying round, and the 15 losers of the 2014?15 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round.

Floyd Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I imagine there could be a big away support for the return leg given the size of the ex-pat Polish community in Edinburgh. Huge away support expected from what my contacts tell me. If Motherwell had got through their last round, they were expecting 3.5K for the game against Lech Poznan.

Riddley Walker Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I didn't see the game but I very much doubt that Celtic would have a player sent off and two penalties against them if it had been a Scottish ref. It's always funny to see the bewilderment in the Old Firm players faces when they are refereed fairly in Europe. Aye, it's nothing to do with the fact they have better players that they always win.

gorgie rd eh11 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Aye, it's nothing to do with the fact they have better players that they always win. You're getting confused, they rarely get players sent off or booked in Scotland because they get away with murder when Scottish refs are involved. Anybody who can't see that is a celtic fan, a member of the Scottish media or a Scottish football official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givememychoice Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Ronny Deila: "But it's a problem in every small country. We maybe have one good team but the other ones are dragging that team down." "We need the biggest clubs in the Champions League, who have deserved it." "It's very unfair that going to the last 16, as we did two years ago, is not going to be recognised." It WAS recognised. Thats why you were seeded against poor opposition. And lets have a look at this form of yours in the champions league/european cup shall we? Just considering champions league era, Celtic have been involved in 13 seasons. 3 times they have been put straight in to the group stages. 5 times they have qualified for the group stages. 5 times they have failed to qualify for the group stages. They have qualified from the group stages 3 times. 24 Away group stage games has resulted in 22 losses, 1 draw and 1 victory. They are not in the top 24 teams in terms of number of group stage appearances. Looking at the last few years, there are certainly 24 teams that have better recent records than Celtic, so which of them should miss out so the Celtic can be guaranteed their place.

crichiejambos Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 In the long term as in the season goes on, Aberdeen would be better of with a negative result v sociedad though they will no see it that way!

7628mm Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I imagine there could be a big away support for the return leg given the size of the ex-pat Polish community in Edinburgh. In reality there will be 2 away supports in Edinburgh next week. I predict carnage regardless of the result as you just know that the THB cannot behave and if 4000+ Polish fans turn up then mass pagger will ensue. Murrayfield will get trashed big time, as after all it is what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsalldothebeattie Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Out of Europe before they kick off the league season is going to be very pleasing! Crowds at Darkheid are going to be very low this season with no group stage to keep them happy.

Average of 15/20 thousand with Lawell claiming about 45/50 thousand inside as always If they have sold 45-50K season tickets then the club have the money and Desmond will be happy. I would think for tax reasons they will not claim bigger crowds than they have sold seats for. Long gone are the days when a crowd of 50K was claimed to be only 23K when the bicuit tin was around and for obvious tax reasons. If, and it looks likely, they are out of the Champions League and they get papped in the Europa play off then crowds will be desperately poor down the East end of Glasgow. If they do not get a game against The tribute act then I predict that they will not have a sell out croud all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And St.Johnstone overturn a good Swiss side in Lucerne, if i remeber correctly ra Sellik got papped out by a Swiss side a few years back as well, so maybe Delia Smith should take a look at the history books before spouting p**h after being five mins in the country.
