Was anyone surprised at yesterday’s result? You shouldn’t have been. I don’t think I’ve ever before written two articles against taking a result for granted. Celtic are ridiculously inconsistent as Kilmarnock, Hibs, St Johnstone, Inverness and now St Mirren will testify, even Arbroath left Celtic Park with a draw. The intensity which has been self-evident on Champions League duty has been posted missing far too often.
Defeat yesterday was entirely possible as is defeat away to Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup on Sunday. There will be entirely different tactics and attitude when Juventus call next month but right now you’re feeling sore because, against all odds, we’ve conceded a League Cup final place and we’ll find an equally brave opponent at some point in the Scottish Cup unless a solution is found.
Speaking at the funeral of Sean Fallon last week, Sir Alex Ferguson referred to need for a manager to be a hard taskmaster, generating a corresponding need for the assistant manager to be plugged into the dressing room. I’m sure this is not the only way of managing a football team but it was how Jock Stein and Sean worked, and it’s how Sir Alex has worked for the last three decades.
Millionaire players need an edge in their lives to deliver on a lesser stage.
I had to be in Paisley all morning, which did not help my mood.

Naw, I thot you said it pretty well.
It matters not, we are where we are, we are in the reality of things, scratching about in the gutter, and I don’t mean any disrespect, but on a money kinda thing we are in the gutter.
When teams like Norwich can offer two, three times the wages we can……..
We are in a limbo time warp presently, the suits imo are not stepping up to the plate, but that is another argument, but re scottish football, we are doing ok, the league will be won, we might win the cup, but I wouldn’t bet on it, the LC is a diddy cup imo, always has been always will be, blood the kids in it.
I am happy, I have witnessed quality football in the CL this season, we are where I would wager 99% of supporters wouldn’t have thot we would be, we are in dreamland, but no we are not, we are in the last 16, that can’t be taken away from us, we are there on merit.
In Lenny I trust.
Oscars a wee toe rag!! But hes my hero!!! A good chuckle at that one!!

Must have been about 12 or so years ago, the wife got me a Celtic top for my Christmas pressi, it sat under the tree for the required time, and not a clue did I have, she was convinced that I knew what she had got, so she got me another couple of pressies, I really need t try that again >}

If there was any chance of Vic going anywhere this week, no way would have he been playing yesterday, not a hope in hell.

Oldtim

i will have a cyber pint on it then >}

To me Lenny has still got a bit to learn although he and the bhoys behind him are still learning.
I think he appreciates he’s still got a bit to learn as he doesn’t come across as the arrogant man,or a cheeky lovable guy as the msm portray sally.
Time will tell as i stand just now Lenny will do for me.hail hail.
weeoscar…,
Just pokin some fun
Saint Stivs
I am more worried about Fraser going to Barca than I am Vic……….
THE EXILED TIM.
You’ll notice it’s all fortified wine I bought,I’ve enough wine already.
canamalar.
I’ll have a look back,are you going to the Juve home game.
i hope the day never comes when celtic beat every team they play….it would no longer be competitive rather dull and boring and selfish as a celtic fan….other fans have to have their day…yesterday it was the saints…and i hope they play as well in the final…
ot,
Thinking of selling my ticket to finance next years season ticket :o)
sipsini
Agree 100%.
I have been into football all my life, and I think I know a thing or two about how to set a team up, although I would never post on this or any other blog what I think, I am just a punter.
Lenny gets found out now and again, that may well be down to the players not following his instructions, who knows, but they have done the biz during the CL campaign, so I honestly don’t have a clue as to how teams who we should beat out play us.
I still trust him.
topkat.
That nearly happened in 1967,Dundee Utd were the only team to beat us,twice at that.
TET
Ya wee sleekit ye.
Michael Mara music is good. Tried to get tickets for his tribute night tonight but it was sold out. Eddi Reader was in it. Just love her nowt to do that she’s a big Hoops fan btw. o))
ot
It was about last nights charity discussion :o)
Am having a wee giggle
canamalar.
Your kidding,your loaded.
Oldtim
I noticed……
It’s called Port BTW >}
TET
Vic did play he just didnt turn up imo.
Oldtim
1967, Dundee Utd beat us twice that season, we lost both games 3-2 . home and away
ot,
Aye but a want wan eh they fancy tickets you’ve got :o)
Free pies and a bevvy, in fact ah want two, so if anybody wants Ma ticket to the juve game all they have to cough up two of they corporate season tickets for next season, I think it’s a fair price, embdy disagree with me ?
:o)
THE EXILED TIM.
I know but on the Potugese site it’s classed as Fortified wine.
A much better deal,23% alchol,a bit of bite too it.
You lot will end up wae gout. Look what happened to Henry the 8th. lol
ot,
Is fortified wine no just corked plonk ? :o)
alcohol,bit tippsy.
Tet.
To many fans are to quick to jump on a bad result.
It takes time to build,were be it a football team or a business,mistakes will be made.
Im away to my kip.hh
canamalar.
No it’s what we call port,but I wouldn’t say it was plonk.
When I was going through the site there were a few bottles priced at around 1.500euro’s.
A wee story for you with a happy ending.
A house near me got turned over while the family were away for Christmas. They made a right mess and stole lot of stuff. Police finally found some prints traced them to their bolthole and got lots of stuff from other break ins. All 3 are banged awaiting trial. Guess where they came from? Larkhall!!
