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.

I went to Sammy Nelson’s testimonial at Highbury with my brother, an occasional poster on here, and some pals. Our support were magnificent that night, as usual. We were there to support our team but, also, to honour a fine footballer. We were kept in for 30 minutes after the match to allow the the home fans to disperse. Despite this precaution we were attacked by a group of Arsenal thugs wielding iron bars as we approached the tube station. Very frightening and disappointing given we were there to support their man too.

Efe is the big strong man. RD started him last week up there because ICT are so physical.
RD knows what he’s doing, much to the dismay of SMSM.

ment to say
Also A North stand upper, and me n wee shades still waiting on our renewal packs.
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.

DBBIA,
I believe the evil that those two perpetrated was compounded by the strong impression that their stance was based on personal and/or political gain and not on strongly held principles that the Catholic Church was the work of the Devil………notwithstanding those within it who may have justified that view.
Many people were hurt by their preaching.

Really looking forward to the game, it’s been a good season…

I/We are absolutely fine this beautiful evening. No heating been on all day, all windows open and the temp is +23 degrees. Weird weather for April. I sincerely hope to meet up again before the end of season, please take care and luv to yer lovely wee lassie. I hope you and your family are feeling as good as we are. Take care special one. :-))))

Jesus, I think the rich Russian at Chelsea might ditch Jose again if this is what he continues to serve up. 30% possession at home when going for the title. Poor stuff.
Reading v Arsenal has turned into another illustration of Paul’s thread.
WEEFRATHETIM
Correct. And I wouldnae blame them.
Blasphemy,they may have called it. I think it was sectarian hatred. Which he deliberately stoked up for his own personal benefit,and to the detriment of his community and others.

WeefratheTim 19:15,
That Lady was chanting louder than me in the Pub.
What a Lady.
I think she is Awesome.
So what happens with LMS 4 if the Gooners win in extra time? Or even after PKs?
Well apart from celebrations in Wishaw?

A columnist in the Guardian (or The Mail) predicted that on Tuesday. Rope-a-dope.
He is anti-football. But a winning coach.
Where have we seen that before?

Just logged on. You seem a bit anxious regarding not receiving your renewal pack. I am sure you can renew online presently. Saves hassle

I almost like Jose, cos he brings you trophies but god knows what todays game was all about. Man U had half the team out injured, and arent even a good team yet he was happy to wait for one chance then defend.
He has the better players by far, could’ve won that game 2,3 nil if he wanted and let them loose.
