15-0 for Celtic in cups, marking Brendan’s card on 3 cup finals

401
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

One for the historians, has any team won the Scottish and League Cups in the same season without conceding a goal? So far this season, Celtic are 15 goals without reply in the cup competitions, with a possible three fixtures remaining, the first of which is at Celtic Park against St Mirren three weeks from now.

Brendan Rodgers described the remaining Scottish Cup games as “three cup finals”. I’ll mark his card, there is only one cup final to worry about and that’s the game against St Mirren. Plan beyond that and you risk a slip.

Lesser teams than them have eliminated us from cups in recent seasons, and the Paisley club have dumped us out twice recently. Any Celtic fan who has considered the possibility of a treble before will know how this story often ends too well.

There are various ways to reach the top of the managerial pyramid.  Accounts is the most common path, join the finance team and you get an oversight on most important areas.  Legal is another fertile field to progress to the top from.

Some technical people make it, especially in retail or engineering.  Few get there from marketing, HR or IT.  No one gets there from public relations, that’s a departmental dead end.

Of course, a PR monkey can hope to become the de facto decision maker, with his/her hands on all the necessary levers.  I can think of only one case like this.  The company/club concerned have not had a good week.  They’ve not even had good PR.

Blane Valley / Bearsden and Milngavie areas

As most fans will be aware, Glasgow City Council are introducing parking restrictions within 1 mile of Celtic park from August.  A group of Celtic supporters in the Blane Valley / Bearsden and Milngavie area are trying to organise a supporters bus that will go from the villages in the area (Drymen, Balfron, Buchlivie, Killearn, Blanefield and Milngavie/Bearsden).

If you would be interested in travelling to / from Celtic Park on a supporters bus from next season can you drop an email to BlanevalleyCSC@hotmail.com, with your name.

    Beatbhoy, Iniesta has to contend with Messi and Ronaldo who are goal scorers plus are also headline makers. Through history those voted as the world’s best player have mostly been forwards .

     

     

    Paolo Maldini ( I still have not forgotten his handball against us) , in my opionion , at his peak , was the best player in the world but because he was a defender , he never won.

     

     

    Good night all and sleep well.

  7. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    £700M a year to be spent by the UK countering Russian propaganda in foreign countries, while 69 people a week die after having their invalidity benefit cancelled, because they are declared fit to work,, by private medical organisations currently engaged by the UK and Scottish Govts to compete with the NHS.

     

    The UK Govt set a limit of 5% on “increased expenditure” on the NHS, the English invested 5%, the Scots invested 3%. Sturgeon hates the NHS with a passion the sooner the days of empire and “privilege” return as the norm the better, as far as she is concerned.

     

    The UK is implementing the same policies as rangers did, abuse your most important asset.

     

    Freedom ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

    Sorry for the late response.

     

     

    The fantastic thing here is we don’t need to do anything, just sit back and watch the drama unfold. It’s fun to have a wee bit of conjecture though:)

     

     

    I was talking to my brother about Oldco’s stolen 9 in a Row. Celtic supporters were getting it in the neck from every direction. The media, workmates, neighbours it was incessant, it’s remarkable given the continued malfeasance at Ibrox and ‘elsewhere’ there has been barely a peep.

     

     

    If anyone at Celtic (or virtually any other club) had behaved in anything like the recent events at Ibrox there would be an outcry.

     

     

    Hopefully now they have turned on their own in such a shoddy way to save their own skins the end is in sight.

     

     

    It’s ironic that the continued vocal support of the ‘Ranger’s Men’ in the media is so critical to Sevco’s decline!

     

     

    HH & Nite,

     

     

    Entertaining blog today. Hopefully Aw Naw and Kitalba will return soon.

    BRTH.

     

     

    I got gifted The gathering storms 2 Xmas ago. Still not completed reading it. The reason, simply, every paragraph, every one, sees me jaw dropping incredulous gob smacked.

     

     

    Its brilliantly laid out. The war coming. The Irish question. The Glasgow Irish. The Celtic football club.

     

     

    A thing stands out for me. Willie maley, son of an Irishman in the imperial army, comes across as quite an imperialist himself. But not by comprising his catholism.

     

     

    Deep read. Thought provoking.

     

     

    A hundred years later. Here we are.

     

     

    Did you look back on posts. I saw the prince henry received in Rome picture today. Sure you mentioned this before.

     

     

    Keep it lit.

    I definitely have to up my game on the moderator front. I’m working on it.

     

     

    Think you might enjoy One of the books I read while on vacation … Travelling Soul…. the Curtis Mayfield biography… People Get Ready is one of the best songs ever. What a talent. But A complicated bugger.

    Let’s move on two years. Who’s voting to stay in the Tory Nightmare Brexit and who’s voting to join the European Union via Scottish independence. Think carefully all you unionists dogs that were bought and sold for English gold – your day of reckonings not far off now.

    The Protestants in the Aberdeen council could be onto something. Where there’s a football park producing left footers, plant trees.

    So once again you just out yourself as a bigot, it must hurt you that our club has employed some great Protestant men over the years to manage and play for Celtic. Especially so this year on the 50th anniversary of the Lisbon Lions.
