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.

So Murty is comparing the huns to PSG.
” Interim Rangers manager Graeme Murty says his team can learn from Paris St-Germain’s ability to deal with adversity, after seeing the French giants lose a first-minute goal to Celtic and then bounce back.”
I suppose he has a point right enough, in all fairness it was a decent comeback from PSG.
I posted this on Wednesday evening, east coast time.
Run to the bookie’s now. You saw it here first.

INVINCIBLE ‘GG on 23RD NOVEMBER 2017 2:44 AM
After losing 5-0 to PSG, we beat Ross County 4-0.
After losing 3-0 to Bayern, we beat Hibs 4-2.
After losing 2-1 to Bayern, we beat St Johnstone 4-0.
Anyone want to lay money on us scoring 4 on Sunday?

TET,
“I suppose he has a point right enough, in all fairness it was a decent comeback from PSG.”
That one hit hit the spot with me…:)
BFSDJ allegedly roams about his house naked but still feels he wants to slip into something more comfortable.

Celtic have scored 18 goals against Sevco since they started going for 55.
Breithla Shona wee bgfc.
All the goodlooking guys must have a birthday tomorrow. My boy is 11 tomorrow.

Celtic have faced teams who we have thought would be in our faces hard tackling and difficult, if we start at a good pace get our passing going move them about the park and take the chances we create we will win and probably by a few goals, let them worry about playing Celtic Footbal Club, the invicible treble winners of last season, leading the league this and in the first Cup final of the season, no, no worry from me, if we as a team do our jobs, we will win and comfortably.
BFDJ helpfully offering managerial advice to Brendan Rogers on where he went wrong against PSG.
Hope he’s listening.
The airwaves are awash with the Hun
My birthday tomorrow too
Pedro
I said good looking……

sevco can learn from psg, they won’t but they can
Happy Birthday to all the tomorrow Bhoys.
Just looked at the Hun’s line up for tonight, pure shite.
What is it about their star signings, Barton, Garner & now Alves.
No sign of Alves tonight, I sense a Statement & a suspension without pay for the maximum period of time whilst the Club ponder whether he is in breach of contract & has effectively sacked himself without recourse to remuneration.

For the avoidance of doubt I wish to confirm that the most intelligent, funny and handsome Tims are born on November 24th. Happy birthday Billy Connolly oh and me too :-)
this blog is for every celtic supporter whether you agree with brendans tactics or not. and you should not be called a hun. r.e. td67. right lets get down to it. we beat motherwell 5-0 we are the invincebles again. ffs we are playing motherwell no disrespect but get real our defensive play is not right gordons kicking and sometimes cross balls are rubbish. boyata seems nervous. jozo seems injury prone. no defensively we need to strenghen the team if we want to compete in europe. hh.
Good evening, friends.
Were it not for their manager being Wee Neil McCann, I’d be lumping a tenner on Dundee FC @ 10/1.
Howevvvvvaaaaa………..
Feliz Cumpleanos Owen

I think so Pedro but then I could be a bit biased.
This was one emigrants reflections on Cork.
One of our favourite Ballads, often belted out in the Pubs after a Cork Hurling Game.
Not surprisingly this one is called. Beautiful City.
I have sought to discover a haven of rest
Where the sun sinks by night in the land of the west
] have dwelt with the red man in] green forest bowers
O’er the wild rolling prairie bespangled with flowers
I have hived to the north, where the hardy pine grows
‘Mid the wolf and the bear, and the bleak winter] snows
I] have roamed through all climates,
but none could I see Like the green hills of Cork and my home by the Lee
Beautiful city, charming and pretty Beautiful city, my home by the Lee
I have slumbered in palm groves by clear running streams
And the wild groves of Blarney come haunting my dreams
I have listened to bells on the soft summer wind
But the sweet bells of Shandon were dear to my mind
I have mixed in gay dances my sorrows to hide
But there’s none like the maiden that’s now by my side
There is nought in the land of the slave or the free
Like the green hills of Cork and my home by the Lee
The bold feudal castles look down on the Rhine
That flows through the land of the olive and vine
There is freedom and health in the fresh mountain breeze
That careers round the home of the brave Tyrolese
There is beauty and love in all spots of the earth
To the heart that can call it the land of its birth
But of all the fair countries, the dearest to me
Are the green hills of Cork and my home by the Lee
Ach, Dundee are ‘only’ 6/1. 20 shillings invested.
Happy Birthday Owen. Enjoy your day and night :-))
