   We have had great years & even if we don’t get the ten, I will rejoice in what we achieved ,particularly our Treble Treble which hopefully can still be translated into a QuadroFenian .

    

   That doesn’t mean I have given up on this Year’s Title, far from it, but most Football Supporters worldwide have never enjoyed the amount of great days our team has given us.

    

   In life and in sport you will have your ups & downs and eventually you will die.

    

   However you only die one day, you live for many thousands of days.

    

   Following Celtic is a big part of my life & there would be a huge void if that feeling ever left me.

    

   It is for the most part an extremely enjoyable experience but there are rainy days & disappointments along the way & you just have to accept those days & not constantly react with bitterness & recriminations to every set back.

    

   Just now is a worrying time and I’ll freely admit to be worried, however as the song goes, It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, I’m worried now but I won’t be worried long.

   As something of a football dinosaur, I am appalled at the level of coaching apparently required by highly rewarded footballers.

    “This week’s CQN will be brought to you by the phrases “Let’s get our players back” or the time-honoured “they collpased last year, didn’t they” whilst the can keeps getting kicked down the one road, the road to god knows where.

     

     

    Everything’s gonna be alright…if we keep telling ourselves that.

     

     

    Deludamol csc”

     

    ————————————————

     

     

    We keep getting told, whenever the likes of me trots out the old, “We’ve won 9iar and we recovered from predictions of a lost league in December 2019”, that the past is no predictor of the future.

     

     

    Yet the basis for the predictions of doom are exacrly that too:-

     

     

    We are SIX points behind

     

    We have lost the last two games to them

     

    We have been outplayed by them in three games

     

    We are playing crap and have been , even when we are winning

     

    We will be “almost certainly” (sic), NINE points behind after our next two away games.

     

     

    All of these observations are painting a picture of – this has happened so far and there is no reason to doubt it will continue to happen. It IS a pattern but our patten of winning the past 9 leagues IS NOT; that is merely a historical blip with no bearing on the current league race.

     

     

    For me, it does not matter a jot how wildly optimistic or how deeply gloomy uou are on the prospects of the 10; it is all speculation on the future based on past events:-

     

     

    We are likely to win 10iar because that is what we do and have been doing

     

     

    or

     

     

    We are likely to lose this thing because we are currently losing it.

     

     

     

    No account is being taken of the vagaries of form; the fact that teams that “click” can suddenly have a bad run or that teams on a bad rn can “get it together.”

     

     

    Bobby Lennox told me once that a Terracing expert had told him that “he would never make it as a player”

     

     

    CQNrs told Virgil Van Dijk he wasn’t as good as he thought he was, that Teemu Pukki was never a goal scorer, that Scott Brown and Callum Mcgregor were boyhood huns and not for the trusting etc;

     

     

    More tellingly- go back to the blog on the last 3 days of December 2019 and the first 3 weeks of 2020.

     

     

    There were just as many confident predictions that we had just lost out on 9iar, that we only had a chance if we won both our remaining games against them because they will drop points to no-one, that Scott Brown’s legs had gone, and that the Celtic Board were happy for Sevco to win the title.

     

     

    Then come March, everyone was out celebrating another League title and 2 games away from a quadruple treble.

     

     

    Now, it is legitimate to point out that they do not and will not keep on winning against all other Scottish teams.

     

     

    It is legitimate to point out that , in acturial or betting terms, we are in a much less perilous position in being 6, 4 or 3 points behind in late October, in league race, than we were in being behind in mid-January, 2020.

     

     

    We clicked and we stunk at various points in all of our last 9 league campaigns. We will click and stink at various points in the LONG LONG run-in (Covid permitting) to this year’s campaign. And so will that mob at Ibrox.

     

     

    The winner of the 2020/21 league campaign will, as always, be the team that clicks more often and stinks less often.

     

     

    We can be that team

     

     

    And so can they

     

     

    We might be that team

     

     

    and so might they

     

     

    But we will be thatteam or they will be that team is beyond the powers of prophecy of any of us.

     

     

    Now, strap in for the ride!
