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 Glasgow. Looking forward to going to the game tomorrow. Fabulous weather here on Glasgow. Heading to the Park Bar to settle my nerves. Back to Canada in a week.
Keep enough room for celebrations tomorrow :-)))

Thanks. I guess it will add a few shillings to the fund.

When we won the treble(HH) in 2001 it was our first in 32 years, not 46 years.
1969.
I remember it well.
HH!!
football is cruel
GK from hero to zero

Nope I have made it quite clear on here that the SFA or any other club than Celtic, will get any money from me. But fair play to yourself, you and your families commitment to Celtic deserves an award. It’s something we on CQN should be pushing for. At least some kind of recognition from Celtic. The effort you put in as against us reasonably local punters, is astonishing. A wee stoater. :-)))))

It’s always worse when the keeper gets nutmegged.

Just logged on. You seem a bit anxious regarding not receiving your renewal pack. I am sure you can renew online presently. Saves hassle
Thanks for that
I was getting anxious as lots of posts about the renewals but now I know that not everyone has received theirs I’m more contented. I was more worried about being moved than getting a ticket to be honest,. I’m not very good on the computer although I am slowly improving :-) I may renew online (when the daughter has time to look at it)

The bhoys on the bus have been ribbing me about going to the final(God willing)

Good advice …I wondered if CP was showing it on the big screen and I would watch it there and party at the Kerrydale (hopefully)

P.s Nae luck the goalie

No worries. I am sure you will be fine. I suppose the online removal is only easy if you know what your doing. I usually do our 3 tickets close to the deadline day. It takes a few minutes as your details are stored against the season ticket client number etc.
BMCUWP/thomthethim- the book I’m reading just now is a biography of Bro Duane Allman, my #1 musical hero of all time [ ole Cadizzy gave me it as a birthday present].
What will I do if it turns out, for all his musical genius, that ole Duane was a b*st*rd?
[Actually , so far so good, he comes across as a mixed up Southern white boy [his father was murdered when he was very young] with fantastic empathy for The Motherlode.]
So is it worser to find out that your heroes have feet of clay, or to discover that the people you instinctively dislike have a seam of humanity running through them?
JIMMYNOTPAUL
Ouch!!!!!!
Ach,we all have hard luck stories I suppose. As the old saying goes it’s not the despair that kills you. Hope gets you first.
(Or summat like that…)
Still hurts though.
Ooft, talk now of betting, time up for me. If my life depended on writing a betting slip, I would be deed.take care all, luv yawl. KTF.

I never once believed that Pastor Jack was inherently evil,as I have said. His preaching of intolerance towards Catholicism had certain outcomes which were inevitable,zig not planned.
The religious divide was his raisin d’être. His pay packet.
As for heroes with feet of clay,we all have them. And in the areas which matter most to us. Whether it be football,music,literature. Even family.
We can love yet criticise. In all the aspects I mentioned above.
I doubt Pastor Jack once read a sermon of love. No harm to his memory by that comment.
Weefrathetim.
Good stuff. Keep it that way, you will be happier.

As ever, bang on the button. When it was 1.1 Bournemouth were down to ten men and I was quite philosophical about it. However when they went 2.1 up with 5 minutes to go, hope kicked in. Won’t let it spoil my night though. As they say that’s gambling.
Bloody predictive text.
BSR Reminds me of why i chucked Twitter, i thought it wa embarrissing that we (CELTIC) being cuffed 3-1 by Sion still got through on a technicality
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/14900965
I was reemed for saying so..
Weeron- enjoy the Park Bar. Not been in it for many moons. Me and my mate always called ourselves ahem, Campbell & Dougall when we went there…complete with Heilin accents. Never got found out. Early 1990’s mind and it was a good shop to watch the Rhugby when Scotland was playing.
Hope they still have a good selection of malts!

Bourne, re BBC calling the Celtic end the Toryglen end and the Rangers end as the Mount Florida end. Maybe it is because Rangers(IL) are deid they can’t call it the Rangers end and to balance matters, the east stand is now the Toryglen Stand.
A nutmeg is when a player puts the ball through an opposition players legs then collects it at the other side. A ball going through an opponent goalie’s legs, technically, isn’t a nutmeg.
Nutmeg arguement poised to start.
We need a top performance and better work ethic than Caley tomorrow.

No argument, a nutmeg is collecting the ball once it has been slipped through the opponents open legs, would always prefer the goal right enough

Social media………..ooooooffffffftttttttt?
Too many dafties much better to stay ‘safe’ inside the CQN family.
Expecting a dour, physical game tomorrow. Yogi will have been preparing for the game expecting us to play 4 2 3 1. Clever stuff by RD midweek to shuffle the pack and play JG and LG.

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.
Sips,
Thanks for that mate, appreciate it. Yer a guid lad.

DBBIA,
It’s interesting that as I have become older and more comfortable with myself, the philosophies I have tuned into, all start from the perspective that people and humanity is innately good.
Hail Hail
Dallas
Funny that’s exactly what I thought, started in 2012.
Big up for Toryglen though ;-)
You’re also right about a nutmeg. The saddest bit was him pulling the ball back from a metre behind the line instinctively, in the vain hope nobody saw it going in.
Dallas.
Thanks for posting 2.1 game against deadco last night.
As you know that’s the game I was talking about last week. Have to say, my recollection was we won that game easily. Highlights suggested otherwise. Only one team trying to play football though.
The religious divide was his raisin d’être. His pay packet.

So Pastor Jack was an old fruit. Whodda thunk it! ;-)
Pastor Jack Glass used to have a church in Kilmarnock.

Talk of the fabulous four in boxing earlier I don’t think they would have faired to well in a fight against this guy
