Yeah, but not to NT
btw: what a militant mood

Why not? Outside foreign imports he's the only capable candidate

Brian, nevermind the best team, may Celtic win

Of course, but he is on the road to achieve sth with Wisła. And it would be wrong to waste all what they achieved till now. But of course NT is a great challenge for him.

 

[Martin]

If you wanna put it that way. A few more years of misery for the NT won't make any difference and I'm not being sarcastic

 

[vitoria_Ally]

And you weren't sarcastic now?
Joking
It wasn't a sarcasm even, just whole truth and nothing but the truth

But do you think, that Kasperczak could change anything now? I mean would he be able to qualify with Polish NT to Euro 2004?
Ok and I'm going to Boniek done thread now

Thanks for the enthusiasm Alex, but when you follow a team like Celtic who promise so much every season and fail misearbly every time, then the most you can hope for is a good performance and they try hard. I hope Celtic win, but the reality is that Celta play in a far better league, and have reach the qtr finals of the Eufa cup in each of the last three years. They would be a good scalp to get, but I think they may unleash hell on Celtic in Spain. Never mind though, there's always Juve to follow in the latter stages of Europe.
See ya

 

[Martin]

At least I can't accuse you of a lack of realism, Celta is indeed a very good team and placed in the top of the table this year in their league.

But as you say, there's always Juve

And hope

Cheers Big Man. It was a tough game, but somehow we did it.
European football after Christmans for the first time since God knows how long. I'm gonna get drunk big time.:cheesy:

 

[Martin]

:LOL:

So tell us about the game

 

[Roverbhoy]

We'll I have to admit Celta Vigo are a good ball playing team (does that translate properly?). They pressed constantly.
Celtic started the stronger, but after maybe ten minuted Vigo started to press more. Eventually they created an opening which deflected of Ulrick Larsen in to the net....more to come

 

[Roverbhoy]

Then Celtic endured a full fifteen minutes of pressure until John Hartson powered through to strike a great goal on the turn.. Half time 1-1....

 

[Layce Erayce]

lol!

 

[Roverbhoy]

Post half time was pretty even until Neil Lennon was stretchered off with a hamstring injury.... Paul Lambert waited to get on a full four minutes...and in that time Vigo pressed the advantage till Benny Macarthy converted a through ball in off the post.....

 

[Roverbhoy]

Martin O'Niellllll...heha....changed the system and doubled up in midfield...and from there on Roverbhoy entered orbit and was last seen in the constallation of Orion....so just who is in the hat for the next round?

 

[Martin]

Nice report in pieces..

Next round, well most worrying is Porto, they're in terrific form this year.

 

[Roverbhoy]

Hehe...this is a good way to boost your post number isn't it.

 

[Martin]

That's right, we have a few specialists on that around here..

Yeah.We know all about Porto. Last year we worked hard at home against them and managed a 1-0 result. But...away in Portugal they really showed their class and tought us a footballing lesson. 3-0. Are they favourites do you think?
