Being in a good place

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

It’s so rare it almost feels un-Celtic to look ahead to an important game without a handful of injury concerns.  Callum McGregor missed the kick-off in our visit to Ibrox last month, a game we went into with the prospect of going five points adrift if we’d lost.  The win over Newco at Celtic Park in December was achieved without Cameron Carter-Vickers or Reo Hatate (who made the bench but had not played since October).

And who can forget our first trip to Ibrox this season, which saw then-unfancied Liam Scales get a jersey due to the absence of Carter-Vickers, Nat Phillips, Maik Nawrocki and Stephen Welsh.  We finished that game with a back four of Ralston, Lagerbielke, Scales and Bernabei – still won, in case you’d forgotten.

Brendan Rodgers had clearly whispered in the ear of those who stepped up in the days before these games, inspiring performances that would have surprised their dads.  By contrast, yesterday, the manager told Celtic TV that Saturday’s game “will probably be the best version of the team that I’ve had since I’ve been here”.  Adding, “I think after another good week of work and concentration on the training field, we’ll arrive on Saturday as good a place as we have been all season.”

That’s why you feel a little unease ahead of Saturday, you are in unfamiliar territory.  Football is seldom straightforward, the best two sides in the country will be on the field trying to win, so the risks are clear.

    I went in behind tbe paywall in that article👇

     

    To big to fail,sevco analogy true,and uniteds purchase price put onto Balance sheet by Glazers and serviced by fans,scary enough when a successful team,but problems grow when not.

     

     

    Ineos offshore guy is a similar type of lever financier.All it takes is maybe another banking crisis or debt recall on Glazers or offshore jim and epl is in chaos.

     

     

    I think its a crazy model -Epl

     

    Mental monies in it,little wonder in breakaway think they want a closed league

    Stephen McGowan’s accuracy

     

     

    3 Months ago- he said Celtic were looking to get a LB and Striker in before the window shuts.

     

     

    It seemed a safe prediction as most of us felt we needed strengthening there.

     

     

    It was a safe prediction. It may have been an accurate form of hedging words.

     

     

    But it wasn’t an accurate prediction of an outcome.

    Diversity is not just advantageous for this blog, we need it.

     

     

    For Diversity read Duplicity.

     

    You are being played.

     

    You have one moniker always.respect.

     

     

    Ex George Galloway phone in ‘plant’ Tommy,has a range of boat chasing monikers

     

    Little wonder it welcomes a Tory to the red marketeers.it called JeremyCorbyn a commie,Commended Boris for his handling of covid and the economy.

     

    So it kinda fits in with being consistently incorrect that a Liz Truss cheerleader from Dover now joins the marketing party with a leader who stands for nothing to gain power.

     

     

    Oh and dont be thinking i support anything other than ceding from this corrupt union,not the snp,they never have had my vote as coming from a city there generally is a range of pro independence parties,Scottish socialists being one,yup socialists not a morphin into what you loathed historically to gain power,the Dover mp confirms that.

    Racist Coin clipper 7.35

     

     

    Left Wing these days is going around wearing outfits and championing paedophilia……..

     

     

    And racism going by your treatment of a jewish poster Tevye with the comment which defines you here.You fool no one racist.

    AT,

     

     

    Not a mention of the latest deputy first minister of Scotland who is more right wing than Margaret Thatcher.

     

     

    Slag the Tories. Totally agree but ffs use a sense of perspective closer to home.

     

    I’m afraid you are being played, holyrood is just as corrupt as Westminster.

     

     

    Justice for Hollie Greig.

     

     

    Cheers and HH.

    Is that the same Margaret Thatcher,first visitor to No10 to annoint support on her prodigy who went onto murder a million iraqis?

     

    Is that the same Margaret Thatcher who said her monetarism was not as severe as that Denis Healey who introduced in 1976 at the behest of the imf.

     

    Mentioning your ex war criminal leader why regardless of chaos here and in London is independence still at 50%,

     

    Mentioning again why no tax on rich?and proper redistributive measures to poor.

     

    Proper corporate reveal and abolishing of hidden wealth offshore,the opposite to what Gordon done from 2000s onwards,the growth in it was exponential.

     

    Abandonment of pfi’s,that why Gordon had record capital spends,alas it still means record capital repayments.

     

     

    Slag Tories true but they are honest.

     

    Keev is sleekit.a sleekit kackbag

     

    Keev just wants power and its so close.

     

    Like 97 all over and things did get better for bankers as their debt was nationalized in 08.the poor got poorer,the rich went offshore

     

    Slag Tories,slag red marketers its the one arse Gp.

     

     

    Every penny devolved is accountable and balanced by law.

     

    If London cuts it means cuts here.

     

    Not played here,we only the finance devolved

     

    We have no independent access to capital markets.

     

    those pensions hinted at by your duplicitious new pal have been paid to all ex members,since 1999 if within the rules,regardless of party,we have a host of ex msp and mps can verify that from last election.

     

    Stammer needs power and in modern way thinks saying nothing is best,welcomes in a Liz Truss supporter,little wonder keev doesnt like using word socialism,Tony dint like using lab,had to be newlab!

     

    Messed up on Palestine horrendously on LBC

     

    Not a sliver of meaning in anythin it says.

     

    Yup go on shouting for justice for Hollie,i back that,full reveal too on ‘Mandys” Epstein island visits sordid chap that he is.

     

    Anyway enjoy your trip,

    AT,

    Deflection ?

    @ Bada….not sure about G.F …

     

     

     

     

    Had a couple of wee snidey comments…about big j….

     

     

     

     

    Just sayin….

     

    ………..

     

     

    Cheers DRAMBOWIECELT. I saw his SNIDEY Comments last night when I got home from the Boozer. As a result of “FEARONS” snidey comments, I feel that I MUST AMEND my Post last evening about the BEATEN Horse ” TIP”….

     

     

    I am offering my apologies to any of the GOOD BHOYS on here who may have lost some cash yesterday when the Horse could only finish 4th at Kelso.

     

     

    For the SNIDEY CHUMPS on here who may have lost a couple of Quid on the Horse……” NEIGH LUCK” !

     

    Did you see what I did there….LOL ?

     

     

    If you happen to be a Grown Adult ( ?)…..Just DEAL with it !

     

    I refuse to offer any apology to any CHUMP.

     

    Ye pays yer Money…so Ye take the CHANCE……..SIMPLES.

     

     

    IF the Horse had WON, would those same CHUMPS be lining up to buy me a Drink or offer any ” THANKS” ?

     

     

    Somehow I DOUBT it …..but I couldn’t care less as I have plenty of GOOD Bhoys on here who know me well, and who ALSO FULLY understand how ” GAMBLING” actually Works….unlike some on here !

     

     

    I will have NO HESTITATION in buying plenty of Beers for the GOOD GUYS that I know on here, ( Who MAY also have lost some Cash yesterday ? ) but who HAVEN’T been Greetin and Bleatin about it.

     

     

    I have NEVER complained or moaned over the years when a Horse ” TIP” gets BEAT, its just one of those things that happen….The best laid Plans of Mice and Men, comes to mind.

     

     

    LOL.

     

     

    Give your wee Grand Daughter my BEST Wishes, and I hope that you and ALL the Family are enjoying plenty of good health.

     

    Cheer and HH Mate.
