Backlash needed for Highlanders

623

Three weeks after putting 8 goals past South Lanarkshire’s top team Celtic struggled to demonstrate their superiority against the county’s least decorated SFA member

We’ve seen these games before, East Kilbride looked no weaker than the Arbroath team who took us to a replay after drawing at Celtic Park a few years back, but neither performance was an endorsement of Celtic’s football.

I’m getting an uncomfortable feeling that teams know how to play Celtic. For most, this knowledge will not affect the result, but some, like Ross County and Aberdeen, will figure they can give us the ball all day, and as long as they stick to task, they’ll have a chance.

The only resolution to the ills of the last three outings is to get back on the field and boss a game the way we did several times last month. Ross County and Inverness both visit Celtic Park in the next two weeks and both need to feel a backlash. Let’s hope.

    You have to hope the shopping isn’t in Brown Thomas!

     

     

    Kehoes just off Grafton St does a great vitamin G. Bruxelles beside the Phil Lynnot statue is decent too. On my way for the train, could have bought you a cold one if I had paid attention today

    Jackson describes Celtic as “abysmal”.

     

    Obviously doesn’t read his own articles…..

  3. Sandman – first-class points well made.

     

     

    Re the last three games where the team looked almost comatose, from their toes to their heads – we must ask what is going on- :

     

     

    One anemic performance could be a blip

     

     

    Two maybe an unfortunate patch

     

     

    Three is a habit

    Probably about 40 times. I tend to go to bigger matches ( Europe and in the Old firm days Rangers)

     

    I go to Aberdeen Celtic games and sometimes Dundee games.

     

    I’m not professing to be an every home game attendee. Far from it..

     

     

    I was taken by my dad home and away as a boy . I was a student at Strathclyde uni so 4 years then but I e spent most of my adult life in Inverness or Aberdeen. I played football and then my sons have played so I’ve been far less than I might of if I lived in Glasgow.

     

     

    Why do you ask…?

     

     

    I will go to Dundee Utd cup game..

    Dundee Utd v Celtic in Scottish Cup Quarter Final ………

     

     

    No – wait – it’s another SFA cock up !!!

     

     

    The balls are not hanging right – so it’s a redraw !!!

     

     

    What a joke !!!

  6. What a joke. It’s like an Irish referendum. If you don’t get the result you want run the referendum again.

  7. Saint Stivs says SACK THE BOARD on

    the draw needs redrawn cos the ball that popped open reveled the name “the rangers”

  8. Draw delayed , hot ball came out wrong. Embarrassing ,don’t know if celtic’s game is to stand

  9. what an absolute shambles of an organization! a bunch of primary school kids could organize this more efficiently. Makes you wonder what is going on day to day. NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE!

  10. what a farce… embarrassing…

     

    Get the tombola guy from any club in the country to take over from these fools.

    Due to a fault, the draw will be void and will be restarted shortly.

  13. Saint Stivs says SACK THE BOARD on
