90 minute treble tightrope

789

Did we get a fright at Inverness last week?  That’s probably overplaying it a bit, but we didn’t get our own way against a team who have already overachieved this season and are more than capable of raising their game for the big occasion.

This is a team who will have no fears of facing Celtic.  They have a manager who will arrive at Hampden tomorrow with a plan to win the game.

John Hughes will not be the only one with such a plan.  Ronny Deila knows this game is the most important on the roster between now and the end of the season.  Only a potential Scottish Cup Final would be a bigger game.  Without wanting to be disrespectful of Aberdeen’s title push, which is an arithmetical challenge only, we are two wins away from winning the treble, and Inverness are the only top flight team who are able to stop us.

It we do achieve a treble this season it will be our first in 14 years.  Martin O’Neill’s triumph in 2001 was our only one in 46 years, so we have to wait a long time for these occasions.  Unfortunately, it takes only 90 minutes to extinguish the opportunity.  A few refereeing decisions the right way and Dundee United had us in a vulnerable place in the last round.  Without absolute concentration the same could happen tomorrow and the remainder of our season would take on an exhibition-game feel.

Feeling a bit nervous now.

Keep your eye on Kris Commons, he loves Hampden.

    In which case,I told you all you need to know about him. You may think he is more to be pitied than censured,I think he played to an audience,whipped them up,and made a living from it.

     

     

    Sheer hatred and hypocrisy designed to put him in the headlines and give him an easy life.

     

     

    His belief in God may have been as sincere as yours,but he neglected a fair few of His teachings.

    Burgas hoops- really? I thought that kinda info would be readily available, something to boast about kinda thing.

     

     

    Have you emailed JPT?

     

     

    I’m hearing good things about it but reckon the whole operation needs upscaled. Sometimes reminds me of Chewin the Fat radio sketch…:-)

     

     

    ———————————

     

     

    Not emailed John Paul but i asked again at renewal time.

     

     

    i personally enjoy a bias commentary on Celtic, and going off what i read on here sometimes from other commentary teams ………………i consider myself lucky -)))

    Canny argue with that, he was a total anti Catholicism bigot. He would not have had any kind of following in any other city in the UK. Have a great day in Bristol the mo. Hoops, 3-0. (TOT) :-)))

  9. ayrshirtim,

     

     

    Get your bus parked at the international…opens at 11.0 as does other pubs but it isn’t too busy and a well run pub…a ten minute walk to the game.

     

     

    Ps… This might get me the brownie points to nip the manageress :)))

    You are not wrong. The most amazing thing is he may even be in Heaven, if we ever get there. I know for sure I ain’t a certainty.

  12. Burgas hoops- nah I don’t mind a bit of Celtic bias mate. That HAS to stay. Just some of the other bits are a wee bit amateurish. Imo.

    I’m sure his beliefs were sincere. I’m sure his faith in God was greater than mine.

     

     

    But I’m equally sure I never set out to whip people into a frenzy of anti anything,to the extent that people were hurt as a result.

     

     

    He did. Deliberately. For the simple reason that he need never properly work for a living.

    Oops…the montford and I think the beechwood as well, they are usually swamped though…from experience, the international is the best bet if you want served quickly and a wee walk.

     

     

    I take it you’re sorted down Swindon way for a pub with the game on :)
