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.

Ole Paul 67’s article just became more poignant than when he wrote it as Hibs were clearly the footballing side, beaten over 90 minutes by a well organised Falkirk side, who took their one once chance and held out for the final.
It’s a funny ole game.
proudbhoy, I’m not sure the fee was ever announced.

Tomorrow will not be a gimme, we’ll have to be at our best, how’s was the Hamden pitch??
Thomthethim- I think people are more complicated than that.
It has been my experience that pure saintliness and pure evil are very rare; and most folk are a mixture of the two, in varying proportions.
Thought of Brother Walfrid’s Anniversary and the generous donations today when I read this story in the Irish Times earlier.

If you get an answer, it’s a guess because the fee was filed in the ‘undisclosed’ category.
Aiden wanted out, and the deal was certainly a lot less than Celtic got when he went to Russia.
Sammy Nelson testimonial .
Ran a bus from Ek, we left at shutting time on the Mon night .
Carry oots were compulsory, we Arrived in North London at seven in the morning, and believe it or not some of us had no drink left (awe right all of us ).
What the F we gonna dae till opening time Mick says one of the Bhoys.
No problem, there was a wee park across the road from were we stopped and right across the road a wee Asian gentlemen was opening up his shop, a football was purchased and a 26 aside game took place in this nice wee park at half seven on a Tuesday morning, not sure what the score was but we did manage to get a crowd stopping to watch us play. Even had 4 London bobbies watching us :-)
When the game was over at 10.55 we all retired to a pub I used to frequent called the Edinburgh Castle ( honest ).Thats when the serious stuff started, Yip you got it the pool tourney. (Story for another day ).
Anyway don’t remember to much about the game except CELTIC FANS showing the gooners how to support a player.
I reckon it was a fraction of the 9.5 million that we got for him.

Pitch was superb at ole Hamdump.

He was into his last 6 months of the contract so wouldn’t have been a large fee

Of course there are variations. I don’t believe that Pastor Jack was inherently evil. I believe that he believed deeply in what he believed in.
However,he preached a doctrine which,though Christian in name,was anything but in practice. People in his congregation were fired up in an anti-Catholic zealotry due to his beliefs and his preachings.
Were he still practicing,and aiming his poison against Islam rather than Catholicism,he would be in jail.

I stopped the ole twitter as I kept getting the feeling I was being followed ;-)

Me tae, got it though on email, tried it, nae fekkin chance. Why do they make it so difficult? They have all my details, know my account aand have my card details. Nope, not enough to satisfy Celtic. So will cost me a premium priced phone call to renew my already increased priced ST. Shabby service.

Such a boring game at Chelsea, both teams know that Chelsea will win it 1 nil so Man U get over 70% possession in each half.
