Backlash Sunday

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

It is difficult to overstate the importance of Sunday’s cup final to Motherwell. They have won as many major trophies in the last 65 years as Celtic have won European Cups in the same period. What an opportunity they have.

Sunday might be just another final to you and me, or more importantly, to the Celtic players, but it is a date with destiny for all at Motherwell.

Right now, Celtic players will still be de-escalating emotions from Wednesday night. It is difficult to switch from one emotional peak straight into an equally intense state, but if we do not find our sharpness or thought and body, the Invincible trail will end this weekend.

I don’t think that will happen; there should be a backlash from Celtic. The open wounds from Wednesday will be used as fuel. The players have been slapped about by the hurt of defeat and will want to avoid a repeat on a national cup final. If Motherwell want to win, score a goal, or if they even want to pass the ball, they will have to operate at a level they have only attained for seconds this season.

The stakes are as high for both teams. Let’s hope the matter is decided without controversy.

Have a great and memorable day at Hampden.

    just wait to fat jim strides upon the ‘admin’ step at debtpark

     

    admin 2 whilst 1’s liquidation is not complete

     

     

    brithers on the 6th floor at national stadium say dont worry same club wi same self harming tendencies so shurrup and gee thum money

     

     

     

     

    They just beg more questions

     

    its truly mental now

     

    the ‘fitNpropa’ 49 times convicted criminal with 200 odd money launderin charges kicked out becomes Chairman saying he will be more open and transparent to the gullibles fans/£providers

     

    he then fuses the new club with loans from who?

     

    remember they cant go to the markets for capital,

     

     

    Can ye have an debt for equity switch?(withoot a sherr price)

     

     

    anyway keep postin the ill effects Sir David of Cheats liquidation of rfc and the toileting of any goodwill associated with the toxic front.

    If the Qatari money had been around in the sixties the lions could have faced a team in 4-4-2 formation Yashin,Carlos Alberto, Beckenbauer,Moore,Fachetti,Jairzhino Gerson, Tostao,Best,Eusebio ,and Pele. I think that puts into context what PSG are now. I can still see Dixie Deans Efe type somersault at Hampden in the Hibs 6-3 game.HH

    If the Qatari money was around in the late sixties they would have bought the lions and BigJock. :-):-) :-)

    50 SHADES

     

    That’s true but I had to pick a team to give the bhoys a wee workout. Looking forward to the game tomorrow to get Wednesday out of our system and agree that it’s a game for Paddy and Scott to shine for us.HH

    Betcha they couldn’t have signed Lev Yashin,but that’s some team you chose.

     

     

    I think The Lions would have beaten them though.

    ANTEARMAN,

     

     

    Fine thanks. Got to take a 60 mile trip up north this afternoon to check the but’nben has no water problems with the frost. Going to time it for the football on the radio.

    Looked into RangersMeeja there for a late morning pick-me-up….to find it’s offline.

     

     

    Crashed. A bit like their team really.

     

     

     

    Mines is OK.Been reading it all morning.Sheer comedy gold.

     

     

    Hate the games on a Sunday.Mrs TB keeping me off the drink today.”You will have plenty tomorrow,then be dying on Monday morning”.Hope she is right.

    Would be great to ask,if any Sevco “financial meltdown” (c) SMSM was described as Admin 2, when Rangers exited Admin 1?

     

     

    I’ll see your ‘club’ and ‘company’, mister, and raise you ‘incorporated 1899’.

    I found myself sharing the same space as a rather posh and well off sevco supporter the other day. He was as deluded as the biggest bampot pure ragin’ knuckledragger that we come across from time to time.

     

     

    I quickly realised I was was wasting my breath about living within your means and getting rid of king etc, as he droned on about the AGM , getting huge investment from somewhere and all being fine in 24 months..

     

     

    The weird thing was that other than football we got on really well and was a decent bloke. Still can’t get my head around it.

     

     

    ========================================

     

     

    A lot of lorry drivers of the late 70s and early 80s will tell you big Pete Sutcliffe was the life and soul of the annual Truckers’ Xmas Ball.

  15. Alasdair MacLean on

    Gerryfaethebrig,

     

     

    Got my hopes up with that one…but not a clue what to expect.

     

     

    Was getting pressure from friends to go to Tynecadtle today, but it’s my youngest boy’s birthday today and he came home last night. So curry in the Snecky it is instead.

    Wee Saturday laugh,non-football.

    The “Change”story on there.They do that here all the time.Will not accept the extra money to give you a note back.You get hit with a handfull of rubbish that usually gets thrown away.It totally confuses them.

    Aidan will be going to Hampden for his first final. Fractured arm was apparently nothing in his last fitba game, he kept on playing.

     

     

    And we both witnessed Arnautovic and his ridiculous antics, it turns out he had a badly bruised thumb – a stretcher was called, at least 5 minutes wasted – 8 minutes injury time called, if I recall correctly.

     

     

    Aye, I didnae make this up.

     

     

    Davie Moyes will have him out the door in a nano…….. surely.

     

     

    The Celtic players coming through are so much stronger, they have to be, the hostility from the establishment is blatant.

     

     

    We are doing this.

     

     

    Belief is incredible right now.

    Saw Chris Eagles for the Vale last season – one of our better players, but that’s not saying much. Should do a decent job for county.

    Off topic

     

    If you are about have you seen Phils recent blog about the mysterious benefactor of a club in Edinburgh which has kept that club in the black, what are your contacts at this club saying about this and is the benefactor known to them, should this be of concern to other clubs who are upfront with their sources of income/ accounts?

  25. petec on

    Gene,

     

     

    Unbelievable

     

     

    So very annoyed he is paid so much, he was kidding on so much with his legs kicking up as if to say it was a really serious injury.

     

     

    For some strange reason we were watching that game and commenting that both teams were terrible and their passing was really bad. 5 passes took, if I recollect right, about 10 minutes when the wee man asked the question.

    Spot on with both Tommy B and Paddy Bonnar, Paddy B sometimes annoys me with some of the guff he talks but I heard him on sportsound the other week and was a great listen he is obviously a bigger Celtic man than any of us that might slag him :-)

  37. Parkheadcumsalford on

    Chanced upon Radio Scotland. Chick Young and (I think) Derek Johnstone are absolutely hilarious. They are trying to offer the deid team’s supporters answers and solutions to their being so dire. It’s everybody else’s fault apart from their own. Michael Stewart tries to intervene every so often to try and bring some sense to the proceedings. Can’t stop laughing. Long may they keep talking nonsense.

  38. GlassTwoThirdsFull on

    Poor Chick. Really upset at what’s going on at “Rangers”. You’d never know he’s a St Mirren fan…..

  40. Parkheadcumsalford on

    Can’t agree about Bonnar. Way too often on Radio Scotland he has spouted the nonsense he knows his audience wants to hear and always to the detriment of Celtic. More than once, I have heard him put right by the likes of Willie Miller.

     

     

    He might have Celtic at heart but he knows where his bread is buttered.

  41. Greenpinata on

    TONYROME,

     

     

    Agreed. Suouptaker is a horrible expression and it’s real meaning is so tragic. . It should never be used in a football context and certainly not to Pat Bonner.

     

     

    IMO to do so ,shows ignorance and is definitely hunlike . If people feel the need or urge to abuse our ex players there are far more appropriate words.

     

     

    HH.

  42. Gerryfaethebrig on

    PCS 2.41pm

     

     

    Bonnar slips into his Celtic shirt now and again, as I posted some of his guff is annoying

     

     

    Shug Keevins “forecasting” the Huns might be a bottom 6 team, looks like level 5 might have stoped the backhanders :-)
