Beale Mathematics to the rescue!

147

If Philippe Clement thinks Brendan Rodgers’ comments about the coming game between Celtic and Newco are disrespectful, he would be advised to avoid his own side’s fan media if the result does not go their way at the weekend.

Brendan suggested, “We can have a bit of fun”, using his ability to deescalate tension in his squad ahead of a big game.  Clement, perhaps clutching his pearls, said Rodgers’ comment was “not really respectful towards my team.”  Pity help him if he encounters his own fan media in the event he loses the game.

Clement went on to do some casual Beale Mathematics.  It requires control over when you start counting the league table, a tactic which can quell a sense of inadequacy in football managers.  Beale took over from that nice Giovanni van Bronckhorst, before going on a long streak of wins and telling everyone the gap in the table was nothing to do with him.

Picking up where his predecessor left off, Clement told the media on Sunday, “Six months ago we were seven points behind; now we are three points behind and we can go equal”.  If he loses on Saturday, the reality of being two points clear one month ago, then six points behind, will stop the Belgian concerning himself with maths for a while.  As Pythagoras often said ahead of the weekend, ‘Three points are all we need, lads.”

    Evening all

     

     

     

     

     

     

    BIG JIMMY

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I’m going to disagree with you regards Butland.

     

    ………….

     

    Fair enough BELMONT BHOY….I wouldnt disagree with you about Butlands ability as a Goalie, however on occasions he has reminded me of that THUG CHUMP….Allan McGregor.

     

     

    THUGGERY and HUN Mentality go ” Hand in Hand”, and its always been that way for as long as I can remember, and I am older than you….So there now !

     

     

    LOL

     

    HH.

  2. I see this morning that my Horse ” TIP” for Today is as little as 15/8 FAVOURITE with one or Two Bookies, but 2/1 is STILL available with BET365, and possibly some other Bookies ?

     

    Whether is goes off at 15/8 or 2/1 is of little matter, as long as it WINS !

     

     

    I know some Folk do NOT like backing Horse Favourites, which is fair enough, but the ” TIP” WAS listed at 7/2 2nd Early yesterday with The Sporting Life, so it looks as though it has been gambled on ?

     

    As for the ” Word on the Street” about the Horse, which was Posted by someone yesterday asking me….The ONLY Person that has spoken to me about the Horse, was ONE of the Part Owners TWO WEEKS ago, when he gave me the ” TIP”. He told me the exact day it would be running….and the owners were very ” Hopeful” that the Horse would run well ?

     

     

    Ye pay yer cash and take yer chance…thats the nature of Gambling.

     

    Best of luck to any who have backed the Horse Today…My Bets have been on since yesterday.

     

     

    Apologies IF the Horse does NOT Win, but its out of my Hands.

     

    LOL

     

    HH.

  3. PSG V DORTMUND last night.

     

     

    I watched the first 20 minutes or so, but I could NOT STOMACH that CLOWN CHUMP ” McCoist” any longer so I changed channels to watch a Movie instead.

     

    McCoists constant spiel is ” I will tell you this Fletch, I will tell you that Fletch” and his constant annoying habit of REPEATING himself with every comment, completely RUINS any game for me, and I suspect many other TV Viewers.

     

     

    I HATE the Hun CHUMP….I always have done….long before he got his cushy job with TNT Sports.

     

    He has NEVER been the ” Nice Cheeky Chappie ” for me….as I have heard him DELIBERATELY LYING on TV when he was the Assistant Manager with the Huns, when Smith was the Manager.

     

     

    After one Celtic v Rangers game he was interviewed on TV straight after the Final whistle. The Huns had beaten Celtic that day at Celtic Park.

     

    At the start of the ” Interview” McCoist couldn’t wait to announce just how ” FANTASTIC the Rangers support were that day, as they NEVER STOPPED Singing for 90 Minutes ” ?

     

     

    Right away, the ” Interviewer” asked him….” Ally, what about the SECTARIAN Singing from the Rangers support during the game” ?

     

     

    McCoists ” answer” to that question was…” I NEVER HEARD any sectarian singing” !

     

     

    McCoist completely contradicted himself with that ” ANSWER”…..as just seconds before on LIVE TV, he claimed that “the Rangers support hadn’t stopped singing for 90 minutes” ?

     

     

    IF he was CORRECT about the Hun support singing for 90 minutes as he claimed….He couldn’t FAIL to hear the Sectarian Blood Songs coming from the Hun support ?

     

     

    I was HOPING the SKY SPORTS TV Interviewer would point out to him that he had just contradicted himself…sadly he didn’t.

     

     

    LYING HUN SCUMBAG…every day of the week.

    Good morning all from Govanhill. A sad final farewell to Gerry Chambers (Ger57) at St Margarets Cathedral, Ayr at 12pm.

  5. Well the big one not far away now … can’t see us getting any points .

     

     

    As much as I would love to see a win and a big win at that , if your honest with yourself you also know there’s very little chance of a win …….

     

     

    Ach well maybe the home country will provide another ABBA and win it ….

     

     

    Oh and when we play the huns let’s tear them apart .

     

    💚🤍🧡 FTH.

  6. In 6 seasons pre joining rangers their captain scored 8 goals in 59 pro games. 1.25 per season and roughly a goal every 7.5 games

     

     

    In 9 seasons since joining rangers he has scored 90 in 312 games which is a staggering 10 goals per season or a goal every 3.4 games.

     

     

    He also appears to be a rangers player who has lost to Celtic more times than any other and has won just 1 time in all his visits to Celtic park.

  7. I think the question that should be asked outwith Sevco ,why there ex players get first choice regarding getting TV and Radio gigs

  8. I`ll be leaving shortly for a brother and sister get-together in Cafe Andaluz in St Vincent Place.

     

    I always enjoy a visit to my Home town. Obviously I go regularly to Celtic Park but that is just the Bus park and Celtic Park. Most enjoyable, of course, but not the same as a visit to the town.

    I think the question has been asked and the answer is that the BBC Sports Dep`t in Scotland is run predominantly by Huns,

    Part of a group owned by Mario and Tony. Both season ticket holders and big Celtic supporters. Enjoy !

  11. !!Bada Bing!! on

    BBC Scotland is a Job Centre for unemployed Huns,as soon as Billy Dodds gets sacked,he’s back on there next day

  12. Prestonpans bhoys on

    Remember the BBC got banned from the bigotdome for 7 years and the love affair is full blown. Example of only good news, see below from videocelts

     

     

    “BBC Scotland are going all-in with their attempts to shape the build up to Saturday’s Glasgow Derby.

     

     

    Even the most loyal of mainstream publishers have been unable to ignore the video clips of Jack Butland and Borna Barisic but the state broadcaster has refused to go near those stories”

    Big Jimmy

     

     

     

     

    I have just put a wee bet on. It was 9/4 with Ladbrokes.

     

    ………..

     

    Fingers crossed Mate.

     

    Ive just backed it AGAIN with Ladbrokes at odds of 5/2.

     

     

    I hope that you will STILL be talking to me AFTER the Race ?

     

    LOL

     

    HH.

  14. Prestonpans bhoys on

    Anyone know when the cup final tickets are announced, leaving it a bit late for those to plan travel.

    Tom McL posted last night that emails were due today. In reality it should all have been sorted a while back. A bit of proactive planning for each scenario prior to semi finals taking place by all parties could have these tickets out no later than last week. As per and as you allude to, the fan is way down the list of priorities

  16. Nobody buys expensive season tickets to deliberately not go.

     

     

    HH.

     

     

    PS : There are numerous ticket opportunities on Celtic spares for most games. With a bit of time and effort tickets can be sourced if you really want one. However its much easier and cheaper to complain.
