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.

    Sally is one of those individuals who likes to be liked, in whatever company he happens to be in, and will do whatever it takes to ingratiate himself with those around him.

     

     

    I’m not sure if that makes him sneaky, but it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that he’s weak, unprincipled and someone you could never fully trust.

  2. Good morning CQN

     

     

    Someone on the site yesterday was asking if the Celtic shop in Clydebank still had tickets for tomorrow night’s game

     

     

    The answer is yes I just got 4 this morning

     

     

    Come on you Bhoys in green

     

     

    Keep the Faith

     

     

    Hail Hail

    No…if I lived in London it woud be easy to watch the match.

     

    I live in Bournemouth……and before anybody tries to help (which I’m grateful for) I can assure you that this is a disaster area for trying to watch The Hoops if you don’t shell out the readies yersel’ to auld Rupert. Believe me….I’ve been on a mission. One last roll off the dice today….a supposed Celtic minded pub within reasonable distance from my palatial slum dwelling. We’ll see; it’s not the first time I’ve sourced that rarest of things down here,only to find it’s anything but.

     

    It was easier to watch Celtic in Malta than it is in B/mouth!

     

    HH!

    Dont know if anyone is interested in a general football question, but here goes.

     

     

    Can you name the 6 players that Real Madrid have signed from the premiership, each for over £20M?

    Was also at ‘The Barony’ and Kennedy Street for a couple of years prior……

     

    Never went on to Parson Street as following a full and frank discussion with the aforementioned Farmer Kelly, agreement was reached that my future lay elsewhere………..

    A message for the attention of “NotTheVoiceOfAFootball” : Looks like your account is linked to one of my email addresses; suggest you email celticquicknews@gmail.com and hopefully the boss man can sort out your email / password issues! Cheers! :-)

    Oh, just read back & looks like others might be getting password reset requests too…

  11. Think Paul67 sent out password reset to every one who has registered

     

     

    I got one and can now able to view on Internet Explorer & Chrome both

     

     

    No more tweets all over the place

    Celtic First,

     

     

    3 out of 6. These 3 went for less than £20M –

     

     

    Owen (£8M)

     

    Woodgate (£13M)

     

    McManaman (Bosman)

  13. Arizona Lennon Bhoy on

    Finally! After 2 years waiting for a password reset!

     

    A password reset is like a new signing!

  14. New poster, long-time lurker. Not a hun – so lets get that out the way!

     

     

    Thoroughly enjoyed “the banter” throughout the whole Sevco saga. Thank you Paul67 for the informative and truthful updates, and for finally giving me a password!

     

     

    COYBIG!

  15. Quite confident about tomorrow night.

     

    My logic is that if we score one they will need to score 3.

     

    I am quite sure we will score at least one.

     

    I can’t see them scoring 3 given that only Juve and Barca have managed that and we pumped Juve.

  16. Top of the morning to you all from a bright and blustery Fife.

     

     

    Just got a call from a nice lady in India asking to speak to son of Big Nan with a view to buying his shares in Celtic.

     

     

    Anyone else getting this call, which I assume is a scam?

    The team we had that pumped Juve would pump the present Celtic team in my opinion.

     

     

    However, agree we should be too strong tomorrow night.

     

     

    If Neil gets the team selection right I expect us to win the game.

  18. Philbhoy - It's just the beginning! on

    Big Nan

     

     

    It is a scam. Quite a few posters have had the same call.

     

     

    Someone posted a warning from the club yesterday, I think.

     

     

    Anyway, mine are up for grabs at £100.00 each, ono!

     

     

    Cash up front.

    Many thanks for the welcome.

     

    I can categorically confirm that I am not a Sevconian, nor a Draconian Estonian, or indeed Amazonian, but Caledonian.
