Calmness will prevent Big Dan Moments

921

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a home game; 4th August, against Aberdeen.  Since then we’ve played five games on the road, three of which involved international travel, with two games in the Highlands.

Statistical analysis shows that form suffers when teams are forced to pile-up away fixtures.  Training schedules are interrupted as travel eats into time which would otherwise be spent fine-tuning fitness or working on defensive/forward strategy.  Instead Celtic have improved enormously from their Flag Day at the beginning of the month, despite, or perhaps, because, Neil Lennon has indulged in extensive use of a squad rotation policy.

No one at Celtic will be complacent ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League play-off, the ghost of Ross County in 2010 and Inverness in 2011 will see to that.  One ‘Big Dan Moment’ is all it takes to turn a comfortable lead into a tight tie with a player deficit, but I suspect Neil Lennon will be more concerned with putting the brakes on his players, rather than motivating them.  A calm and organised performance is required.

    There was also a paper shop down the end of Parson St…..sold ‘singles’ (cigs) and had a gambling school in the back room. ‘The Mungo’ was an eclectic place….part education establishment, part lunatic asylum. There were kids from all over Glasgow…..one of the brightest I knew was a leading light in The Calton Tongs. God, the stories I could tell.

     

    Anyway….. I’m still on a mission here to find somewhere near me that’ll show the match tomorrow night….in relative safety. (Random Chelsea bams can be a problem). But if I can’t I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and sign up to skysports for a month…..because,one way or another,I have to see the match.

    Spot on about Tommy

     

     

    No doubt in my mind whatsoever that they cheated throughout the 90′s as well. We should demand an investigation as far back as possible

    To cut a long story short – I think the ENTIRE SDM era has to be investigated !!!

    anywhere in paradise mate. 111 is the Green Brigade if that is what you want. I am in Jock Stein Lower section 138 and I know there are a couple of seats available. Received a letter yesterday asking if I knew anyone that would like to take them up. Not bad view just to the right of the goal about 10 rows up.

     

    Hope that helps.

    Still can’t post from my laptop because of the Twitter links everywhere.

     

     

    What’s this about Sevco realising that Broadfoot isn’t good enough for division three?

     

    _____________________________________________

     

    Some one posted on here last night that

     

    Broadfoot was gotten rid of because he

     

    went to Laffatme’s wedding in the chapel.

     

    Hmmm ?!?!

  5. Said on radio this morning that the fat fud was looking to arrange a ” mutual” agreement to end the paoched eggs contract.

    Interesting snippet from the Hugh Adams interview in 2002

     

     

     

    “The 40million worth of shares that ENIC (English National Investment Company) bought a few years ago are now worth about 15million, with no evidence to suggest that they will recover. The money itself, that which was actually invested, was lost some time ago.”

     

     

    Whatever can he mean by the middle part of that last sentence?

     

     

    I DEMAND TO KNOW!!!!!!!!

    Morning,

     

     

    Just read Duff&Duffer ran rangers at a £4.2 Mn shortfall whilst adminisrators. Remind me who was in such a rush to get them appointed… lol!

     

     

     

    ———

     

     

    Always thought that administrators were put in place so no further debt could be created?

     

    Ah well, I’m sure the investigation will point this out to them :o)

    the probable reason for shifting Broadfoot will have nothing to do with his attendance at a wedding but everything to do with his wages for a pretty rubbish player.

     

    They have signed Kevin Kyle for goodness sake and he is on record of how big a Celtic fan he is.

    Using Google Chrome is a quick fix. Someone suggested “Clearing Memory Cache” but not tried that yet.

    Re: Decent SB area’s – I see that section 138 has been mentioned

     

    I recall I was in 139 just under the tv camera and yes

     

    it’s a great view and holds lots of happy memories for me

     

    especially the ones enjoyed with good folk who have since passed on.

     

    I know that they will be looking down from above and reading this so,

     

    to them I would just like to say – Hi

     

    Oh and, when yer looking down – will ye please do it on a day when

     

    I’m not on to criticise the bored.

     

    God Bless

     

    Hail Hail

  11. also Rogne’s agent coming in this week to discuss new contract as his is also up this year. Thomas does not think it will be a problem as he wants to stay and he believes that NFL wants him so should be a formality.

    I’m back on Internet Explorer. Clicked on the little cog in the top right hand corner; held the cursor over Safety to get the drop down menu and selected delete browsing history. I had to uncheck preserve info from favourite web sites and hit the Delete button. I don’t know what that threw out with the bath water, saved passwords and the like but I’m back on IE.

    ”Some one posted on here last night that

    Whilst some of their more rabid element might like that to be the case it’s not particularly credible.

     

     

    Not when Sally is opening a coffee morning at St Colm’s in Kilmacolm.

     

     

    You do wonder though why Broadfoot has agreed to leave, it’s hardly likely he’ll get paid more elsewhere.

    Rogne has the makings of a top class CH. imo.

     

     

    But, like Kayal is he worth keeping due to his injury history ?

     

     

    I mean, how long did we put up with Shaun Maloney for example.

     

     

    For me there is nothing more frustrating than seeing a class

     

     

    player always out injured. Once they compile a few injuries

     

     

    you can bet that they’ll become permanent treatment-room

     

     

    attendants. imo.

  15. miki67 ,

     

     

    oops , almost commited a faux pas !! was gonna ask what game you were watching tomorrow , forgetting about the BH and that this is Tuesday – ya beauty , thought i had 2 sleeps until the game – obv beauty sleep is not and never has been part of my regime.

     

     

    Seem to remember youre based in Laandaan , yes ?

     

     

    If so , I’m gonna catch the game tomorrow , hopefully with Tooting Tim and a few other hoops.

    I used to work in Ipswich.

     

     

    Our office overlooked the stadium at Portman Road.

     

     

    I’ll get my keys.

    Broadfoot had an epiphany ‘Ally is a liar’ I’m out of here pronto to nice safe 2nd div club.

  18. Kev I agree that Rogne could become a top CH. He does appear to be a bit injury prone but I also think that it seems to be very difficult to find a decent CH especially at the price we would be looking at, I think that for his potential/sell on value he will sign a new contract he is still only a young lad 22 I think.

    I think that theres more mileage to this story.

     

     

    As for Sneaky at St Colm’s in Kilmacolm.

     

     

    For me it’s window dressing/cosmetic/smoke & mirrors etc

     

     

    just like when Sneaky and ‘Walter’ carried TB’s coffin.

     

     

    When those two chancers carried that coffin

     

     

    I felt a sudden shudder ye know like
