Boot on the other foot for a change

601
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

For years we worried of the consequences an away trip in Europe would do to our weekend performance.  The boot is on the other foot now.  Hearts head to Celtic Park on Sunday after returning from Switzerland in the early hours of this morning.

Their result against Zurich was perfect: a narrow defeat keeps the tie alive; manager Robbie Neilson will be alert to the possibility of delivering Europa League football with a sold home win on Thursday.  Do not underestimate the emotional and physical strain put on the Hearts players as a result of last night’s game.  I am feeling unusually confident about Sunday.

There is a similar story at play with another Glasgow-Edinburgh fixture this weekend.  Hibs host Newco, who are between European qualifiers.  Hibs, like Celtic, don’t need to bother about these games.

Newco’s next six league games include visits to Hibs, Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts.  This run will expose whatever weaknesses exist in their squad.  Celtic have their own business to take care of, and we will be in the middle of Champions League group stage exertions during this period, but, the opportunity is there to build a clear lead in the title race.

    Alpple,

     

     

    If you have the time take yourself and the wife into one of the pubs on the Gallowgate for a quicky ( drink )

     

     

    Failing that, go into Turnstiles bar while you wait on CQN corner . ( Turnstiles is litterly 5 mins walk away on London Rd )

     

     

    You will make great unsanatised memories.

    Quote of the day?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Scottish independence only became a source of division after the Referendum.

     

     

     

    ###

     

     

    Is that a quote?

     

     

    Or is it your attempt to paraphrase something you’ve read? Is it possible you’ve misunderstood what you’ve read? Or misremembered?

     

     

    If you want to quote something just copy and paste it and put it in inverted commas. It’s easy enough to do. That way you can’t be accused of dishonesty or inaccuracy.

     

     

    By the way, were you posting on here at the time of the referendum?

    ta for that, it is some story of the hardships these men endured.

     

     

    they could never have thought what would become of australia, robbing british bassas.

     

     

    or that their names would live on as wine bottle labels, and their stories told over and over again.

     

     

    feniens sold in tesco asda and every town in britain.

    Many of these featured people were connected were connected with what’s known as the Catalpa rescue, which broke out six members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (often referred to as the Fenians) from the penal colony of Western Australia in 1876. On the regular red blend, for example, is John Boyle O’Reilly, an Irishman who joined the Fenians in 1864 to rebel against British rule in Ireland; along with a large group of Fenians, O’Reilly was arrested in February of 1866, tried for treason, and sentenced to death. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, and in 1867, he was transported to Western Australia — but he escaped in 1869. He settled in Boston and became a writer, poet, and activist; he also helped mastermind the Catalpa rescue. On the dark red blend called the “Banished” is James Wilson, another Fenian who was arrested in 1866 and tried for desertion and mutinous conduct; his death sentence was commuted to servitude for life, and in 1867, he was transported to Australia. He broke out during the Catalpa rescue. The shiraz features James Kiely, a Fenian who was actually left behind during the Catalpa rescue, but later pardoned in 1905.

    A couple of clues – he didn’t score too many, and he shared a chant that was used of a Celtic great.
