Dangers ahead, unimaginable mess and new euphemism

988

I’m still meeting people who haven’t noticed.  Hibernian are on an outstanding run of form, having won their last three games and undefeated in six.  The last reversal they had was at Celtic Park the first weekend in April.  On Sunday we’re playing the team with the best recent form in Scotland; the warning signs are painted in large green font.

They are dangerous up front, Leigh Griffiths has scored four goals more than any Celtic player, including several stunners.

The weight of the world rested on Hibs’ shoulders at last season’s Scottish Cup final, when the stage was set for a century of pain to be wiped away by defeating their greatest rivals.  It was too much.  Now they take the field unburdened and vastly more dangerous than St Mirren, Hearts or Kilmarnock were when they overcame Celtic at Hampden recently.

Odds on Hibs are very generous.

I caught some chat online last night.  “Blackmail”, “extortion”, “imprisonment”, “getting rid of the problem”, “a catastrophe of an intensity that you…. clearly do not appear to understand”, “fraudulent”, “once the genie is out it will have a life of its own”.

What an unimaginable mess.

I think “Been an admirer of your recent work” is bound to become a euphemism in years to come for when something that should never have been said or written slips out.  This is a small glimpse into how the whole thing happened.

Fantastic Q&A with Willie Wallace this morning, thanks to Willie and Winning Captains.  Willie’s recollections of our great times are irresistible.  Reading the book as it came together was a joy.  You’ll love it.

Remember you can start Cup Final weekend by meeting Willie at a book signing at Waterstons’ on Sauchiehall St, tomorrow – 25th May, 46 years on from the day – from 2pm until 4pm.  If you can’t make it you can order a signed copy below.

    @ellen_coyle But what they fail to realise is what & who they’re dealing with; I will pursue this to the very end until there is justice.

    just back home from Lennoxtown where the Celtic U-14’s Skelped their Hibernian counterparts by 8 goals to 1. Onwards to Sunday, wouldn’t a similar scoreline be wonderful !

  4. Well done joe_joe etc!

     

     

    Thanks again CRC – bit distracted been watching the 20 years CL Highlights.

     

     

    Offered to do a mini-quiz 2 weeks back when you were on a night out – got a rubber ear!

    Good night all

  6. Good to see pierre and jorge back in town. Would have love to have seen them with larsson in same team especially cadete. Two clinical finishers.

     

     

    Pierre was right TB alnost defied the cheating from Ibrox. TB and Celtic where cheated out oif that league.

  7. !!Bada Bing!! on

    When i see Cadete’s name i get a mental picture of Wee Fergus looking like Herbert Lom in the Clouseau movies….

  8. As I expected and posted yesterday the Green/Whyte collusion is a whitewash and Teflon sevco laugh at the SFA and Scottish football fans.

     

    So as we as Celtic supporters look forward to another cup final it is tempered by the knowledge that we are all being taken for mugs and I ask again WHAT IS OUR CLUB DOING ABOUT THIS CORRUPTION. Only one conclusion Celtic are complicit in all the shady dealings to have sevco alive and kicking and back as soon as possible at the top tier of Scottish football.

     

    Enjoy your day at Hampdump lhads as the president and CEO of the most corrupt organisation on the planet look down on us knowing we have been shafted . HH

    I’m so sorry I didn’t get the chance to ask WW this question yesterday. If any of you guys see him in Sauchiehall Street tomorrow please indulge me:

     

     

    In Milan 1970, why did Jock drop George Connelly, when he had been so good in both semi final legs?

     

     

    This question has bugged me for 33 years.

  10. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    …and so the vicious circle extends ….Islamaphobic hate crimes running at 10 times the usual rate after Lee’s murder ……… What direction is the world taking …… Truly sad / worrying…

    Celtic can and will, IMO, lead the way in how to treat others.

     

     

    Stop these horrific drone strikes on Nations ASAP. That is the ultimate cowardice act. A wee (or big) fat (or thin) controller in California directing murder without fully comprehending what he (or she) is actually doing because he (or she) is detached from the actual event, like a video game.
