Celtic, or Wales, against the world

597

I read Wales defender Connor Roberts say “99% of the world” will support Denmark in their last 16 tie tomorrow and thought- the underdog, fighting against the crowd.  99% of the world will not support Denmark, not me, for a start, but the ‘us against the world’ narrative is one of my favourites.

As a rallying call, it is surely more effective than the alternative.  Today’s footballer is an immensely well catered for athlete, apart from his 90 minutes on the park and (relatively few) hours on the training field, he will struggle for little.  What does he have to fight against, if not perceived ranks of people wanting him to lose?

Beaten, humiliated in Europe, trophy-less, written-off by many among our own, singled-out by the Government.  Ange Postecoglou will not have to work hard to convince the players is really is them against the world.  This squad really does have plenty to fight against.

    Ponsonby’s finest moment was his intro to the Charlie and the Bhoys stopping the ten gig at the barrowlands.

    Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    From a Covid free Victoria, well at the moment, until the next mess up

     

    as happened up in Sydney now.

     

    Good morning from Oz, Mick and Stivs, take it you are still on the lash

     

    being up at this time? lol.

     

    Big Celtic weekend here again and guess what? I can’t make it, our young

     

    team are playing tomorrow afternoon and I’m doing work today (lines ) for

     

    our seniors games.

     

    Scunnerred.

     

    Can’t imagine any Celtic supporter not wanting to renew a season ticket.

     

    Really!!!!

    When you change your blog name do you retain the old blogger’s history?

    Just reading back now, nice to see TAURANGA BHOY on from

     

    across the ditch in Melbourne.

     

    Just having a quick run down to St Kilda shortly to a new Celtic

     

    shop opened up there

     

    Apparently they sell every thing from Irish sausages to Celtic tops

     

    Woweee, better take a load of dosh.

     

    Must be the ANGE affect.

     

    Now, how to steal the princess’s purse, hmmmm.

    Ange Postecoglou talks a good game…being our manager….I should fucking hope so…but the proof is in the pudding

  14. Go tell the Spartim on

    Just a random thought, we know the haters are still gonna hate (usual culprits like the SMSM, Fans of triggers broom and other like minded botins) and it’ll be made out were one half of the same arse (we’re not half of anything) so when we’re singing some, what’s deemed offensive, of our rebel songs could we not simply replace the “I” with Ange, as in Ange’s Republican Army, now how could they deem that offensive, if you used that as your line of defence. I’m not a drinker so I’m putting the insomnia down to too many cakes of an evening

    GTTS….none/zero songs I, and others sing, can be construed as one cheek of any arse…lol
