Celtic and the burnout issue

512

Delighted for Leigh Griffiths (penalty), Callum McGregor (penalty and assist) and Ryan Christie (goal) who, after a difficult few months domestically, got any reassurance necessary from a Scotland performance and result that they can compete and win on the European stage.  McGregor’s reverse pass for the goal was a thing of beauty.

The caveat is that our players will compete for four domestic trophies this season, head to the Euros with Scotland, then go straight into Celtic’s European qualifiers without as much as a long weekend down the Clyde.  To paraphrase Roy Scheider, you’re gonna need a bigger squad.

Footballers are not machines.  They have peaks and troughs of form, fitness and focus.  How many mountains can Callum McGregor climb?  We have to hope Steve Clarke cuts the Celtic players some slack in the spring internationals, while Neil Lennon should have a good hard look at the remaining three Europa League games before risking his most precious assets.

  1. Good morning from a dry but windy North Staffs – off for a 10 mile walk to Congleton and back – should blow the cobwebs away.

    Congleton? I believe I used to go through ther on my way to Bollington many years ago !

     

     

    b) I have seen some posts bemoaning the fact that too many posts are not Celtic related. It is , though, noticeable that when we are not playing, the number of posts drops remarkably.

     

     

    c) Apparently this wee equation is causing consternation in the nation as two answers have an equal chance of being correct:

     

     

    6÷2(1+2)=

     

     

    Going out now. I`ll check for any replies later.

     

    Cheerio for now.

  3. The God of Covid,most definitely a Hun.Big problems at the CH position again for Saturday.

    Thanks J

     

    just saved me watching last 2 hours of the Masters (delayed broadcast) 7 hours time difference from Celtic Park time.

     

     

    For your equation according to my auld heid it could be 9 or zero but long time since I was at school.

  5. Hearing Clare Whyte SFA Compliance Officer is offski.

     

     

    If true not surprised. The 5 Way Agreement has undermined that role and rendered that job untenable.

    Yes, doing it hat way the answer is 1.

     

    Doing it this way gives the answer as 9:

     

     

    6 divided by 2 multiplied by what is in the brackets eg

     

    6 divided by 2 = 3.

     

    3 X (1+ 2) = 3×3.

     

    3 X 3 = 9.

     

     

    It is a bit like using speech marks.

     

     

    Hot Smoked said Sevco is wonderful.

     

     

     

    Hot Smoked said, ” Sevco is wonderful. ” is obviously nonsense whereas:

     

     

     

    ” Hot Smoked, ” said Sevco, ” is wonderful.” might not be :-)))
