Celtic did not do enough to earn three points against Motherwell on Saturday. Kyogo’s turn and shot – off target, Rocco Vata’s cross onto the head of Oh – also off target, were as close as we came, but it was insufficient. Without Hatate and Jota, we are easier to defend against, without Abada, we have one less match-winner.
This far into the season, you and I are familiar with time-wasting antics; Motherwell excelled in this department. An injured player, mostly off the field, managed to cling to some on-field territory for an entire physio visit. Another rolled around in distress after bumping into the chest of Oh. Motherwell’s Kevin van Veen was already booked when he carried a second ball onto the field in a blatant attempt at time-wasting. Referee John Beaton looked the other way.
Fair play to Motherwell. If we are back in the Bernabeu on Champions League duty, I would expect Celtic to do the same. It is the referee who sets the parameters for time-wasting. The game will be disrupted until he shows sufficient resolve to caution players. Or he can just acquiesce and be party to a farce.
Celtic already have a Coronation Cup, so it’s appropriate for the club to win a Coronation League on the weekend of 6/7 May. It would be even better if Hibernian were the opposition, ‘ensure Parkhead is covered in shamrocks of green.’

Thanks for sharing Re inter 67
We really should have beaten inter 72. We had an even stronger team then and inter hadn’t changed their mode much.
I would love to have seen our 72 team take on Ajax in that final.

As an aside.
Accusations of match fixing regarding juve and inter were hinted at even back then.
If they were doing it they were not very good at it.
Unless inter players got paid to throw matches.
As an aside to that gian Franco passed on aged 68 in January. That was what had me thinking of what he had said.

Sorry to hear that. Your news also remind me of South of Tunis, who has not posted on the blog for a very long time, hope he is ok. He has a neighbour who is an Inter fan and hated Juventus or as he and all other Italian supporters call them, Rubentus, a corruption of the italian word for robbers,
Hearts away

Mini Huns away
Huns away
St. Mirren home
Hibs away midweek
Aberdeen home 12.30 trophy day
Has a team ever began the post split fixtures with 2 away games? I personally can’t ever remember that happening.
Well we’ll not be allowed tae celebrate in our home city on his crowning weekend as it seems the royalists are having a party there in the aptly named George Square
Tim Malone ta for the juve article a good read.
TT.
I am interested in your power of recall regarding inter 67. Was there any press coverage that mentioned they were falling apart ?

They’ll also be hoping we do the business against Hearts, can you imagine we don’t and then we go to Ibrox to win it?
I to liked South of Tunis gentle stories of rural Italian life spiced up with the old inter fan hating juve.
Often very funny.

If there was away fans present, there is zero chance that fixture would be played as the 2nd game of the split.
Beat mini huns win league,go to iPox and receive guard of honour ,what’s not to like HH
2nd rangers do not do guard of honours.
They refused just a few years ago.
Back when there was the original team did it ever happen ?
I’d imagine Ange will give the players a day or two off if we win the league at Tynecastle, we could be a bit worse for wear in the week leading up to ibrox.
As I recall, the players jumped on a plane to Dublin after winning the league at Pittodrie and duly went to ibrox 6 days later and got beat a few years back. I think it was under BR.
Really pissed off about the first two games. Surely sky tv would have a big say and surely the could have shown a live home match with a brilliant atmosphere. Nearly 60,000 fans being done our of a great day at paradise.

Yep. I ditched sky a very long time time ago. I think the Hearts game will be the 19th time we’ve played after Sevco this season. A lot of that is due our pals at Sky
