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.

    This happened to me a while back, you probably need to put your recovery disc in and run that. Turn in the laptop an hold F8 I think, that puts it in safe mode then run the disc. Unfortunately you will lose everything on it. Worthwhile buying an external hard drive to store stuff on in case this happens again.

    I see the record published the servco 666 fans singing banned racist songs ….

     

    Wonder if the SFA will take action ?

     

     

     

    No. The SFA chorus line is “we need to draw a line in the sand.” We must move on is the Hampden protocol. Regan is gutless. Chuckles Green is slappin him down like a bitch…and he just takes it. Pathetic.

  7. DBBIA sorry to hear of your loss. I’ve lost my mummy too so know how it feels. Keep thinking of the good times.

     

     

    Forres Mechanics away! That’s like a new signing… Mark Hateful

  8. SevcoMedia, they are deluded.

     

     

    ‘This fixture will also provide Forres with a money spinning, a wonderful experience and a once in a lifetime opportunity to face the world’s most successful club.’

    The Orcs played “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor at last home game.

  10. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    Delighted with the draw for the huns.

     

     

    Difficult wee day oot for them-does anyone think their bus will last the distance?

  11. Did anyone else notice how Mike Tumelty immediately looked at his watch as soon as he blew his whistle to chalk that Berwick goal off? It was like a panic reflex. Or is that just the way my paranoid mind seen it?

  12. sffs

     

     

    If you are with bt broadband and have mcaffe security with bt internet

     

    mcaffe updated something on their security ends with 6807 or 6808 on the

     

    27 of august(approx) this update has screwed up access to the internet

     

    for some but not all, you have to uninistall mcaffe security and then go to bt website

     

    then download it again , a newer version i think

  13. Wonkyradar-Re Tumelty ,he called off from a Cup Replay game last season,after a draw on the weekend resulted in a midweek replay.A bhoy on here posted he was going through some degree with the Masons that night and couldn’t do the game.Allegedly.

  14. jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/ on

    Was hoping paddy wld have a good game on Saturday. He didnt!! He’s got to grab the chance when it comes like Watt has.

    ********* Tech help needed ********

     

     

    My laptop is failing to start.

     

     

    It states “windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause”

     

     

    When I click “repair” it then states “Windows cannot repair this computer automatically”

     

     

    Anything I can do or do I have to contact system admin, whoever they are!

     

     

    Many thanks

    need to know some things

     

     

    is the pc your own?

     

    what operating system are you running?

     

    have you added or updated anything recently?

     

    are you familiar with things like changing settings in the control panel?

     

    where do you live?

     

    what team do you support? :)

     

    what happened to the Seville money?

  16. wonkyradar has a telepathic connection to the hive-mind of t.f.o.d.

     

    pray for him on his travels to that darkest of places.

  17. Jude-Complicity mate,you won’t hear it from the LL.Need Terry O to get on the phone tonight :}

  18. QPR to offer Joey Barton a free transfer.

     

     

    Maybe some will get their moral compasses in a twist, but I’d be delighted if we tried to snap him up.

     

     

    Born nutter, maybe, but also born midfield combatant with bags of football talent.

     

     

    And before you dismiss him, just watch his Man City sending off again. He was not the only culprit; and many the call has been posted on here for someone like him to protect our boys and sort out the opposition thugs.

     

     

    If anyone can control him and get the best, it’s Lenny – no stranger to media ‘nutter’ tags himself.

     

     

    In Europe, midfield strength is the all-important key to results. Barton would be a tremendous addition to our mid.

     

     

    Would he take the wages drop with the promise of CL? He’s in the last chance saloon. We could get adeal there, I’m sure. No transfer fee = bargain.

     

     

    Less of a gamble than importing some unknown foreign quantity and then allowing him time to settle in.

    Sorry to read about the loss of your Mum – condolences to you and your family.

    Joey Barton?

     

     

    My moral compass is now in a twist.

     

     

    There are few players whose presence in a Celtic team would cause me to give them less than wholehearted support, but Mr Barton is one of those players.
