    Think we’ll take a tonking personally.
    we’ll be playing kids at some point and they’re way ahead of us in preseason

    I've never seen a worthwhile Charlton PSF in my life.
    The last PSF I went to was against Brighton at the Withdean some years back.
    My connecting train from Southampton was full of Spanish students who prattled away loudly non-stop to Brighton.
    The match was played in 30deg bright sunshine with no shade and I was sat next to some 30 stone guy who literally put my spine out of place.
    I travelled back with the worst headache of my life and no paracetamol until I reached home.
    BTW, the game itself was an aimless kick around.
    Never again.
    Ah yeah, @DaveMehmet did say he was at that game.

    Biggest game of the season, so far.

    Remember when I was a boy, Celtic becoming the first British team to win the European Cup.
    It was very big news at the time.

    It's not every day we play against former European cup winners ..... even though apparently they are only a pub side in a pub league. :smile:

    I am quite excited by this although I know it is only a glorified training session . Although I wish Scottish football would produce another Ferguson type Aberdeen to break up the Old Firm dominance there is no doubt that the Celts are a massive club . Have we ever played a non English Champions League / European Cup winner before ?

    I remember in the 80's we often nicked their famous ' grand old team to play for ' song at away games . 

    We have many playing connections and four of their team that beat Barcelona went on to play for Charlton . I posted on my mutual teams thread the Charlton / Celtic team  . I think it is a strong line up .

    GK Tony Warner , RB Adam Matthews , LB Mark Reid , CB Paul Elliott, CB Stuart Balmer , RM Aiden McGeady , CM Beram Kayal , CM Zheng Zhi , LM Joe Ledley , ST Paolo Di Canio , ST Jim Melrose .

    Carlton Cole , Scott Sinclair and Tony Watt also featured for both first teams .

    I really wish we could have played Celtic at Parkhead in a proper friendly and been able to experience an away day in Glasgow .I was on an Open University summer school some years ago and saw Arsenal play at both Parkhead and Ibrox . I also saw Celtic play my favourite Scottish team Raith Rovers in a Cup game some years later and was impressed at how an area which resembled a slum had been transformed . Chris Hoy's Velodrome replaced a derelict Primary School as its neighbour .

    Back to the game itself I am interested to see who will be the alternate Goalkeeper given AMB's absence and whether any of the U23's can make a step up .
    We played Valencia in a friendly didn't we? Not sure what iteration of the cup they won but I'm sure they won it at some point

    Does anyone know what time the coverage on Charlton TV starts?
    Depends on where you're watching it. Currently got a screen showing the Celtic starting 11 so assume that's through Celtic TV.

    You mean that you’re too young to have witnessed Charlton 9 Apoel Nicosia 0. A night to remember.
    Yes I was there & I'm sure they played Arsenal a few days later & drew 0-0

    No Gilbey, Inniss or Matthews is a worry. Assume Gunter and Schwartz missing is because they’ve been given extra time off

    I wouldn't read too much into any of that.

    It certainly doesn't mean those players are out for the season!

    The team for the second half looks particularly weak

    We should be able to get at least a draw against 5.5 players!

    So what would be a decent score line today ? Sheffield Weds lost 3-1 didnt they ?

    i think Scottish teams are a week or two ahead - thats usually the case

    Anyway looking forward to seeing some of the younger guys

    Clayden is one of them - give him a chance as hes young but hes very direct and a proper winger

    Also looking forward to Johl Powell and Jeremy Santos.

    Burstow has a lot of potential but mght be a bit young and Wassim is very exciting and this is a big year for him
