At 1:45 yesterday afternoon the prospects of Celtic stretching their lead at the top of the table by the end of the day appeared slight. The tide has turned in Celtic’s favour in recent weeks but leagues are hard to win and we need only think back to how many chances St Mirren peppered Fraser Forster’s goal with to appreciate the difference between winning games and dropping points.
Teams in the SPL are well organised, even eighth place St Mirren, who are on a run of poor form but apart from a couple of lapses defended well, created more chances than Celtic and played with adventure and confidence.
Celtic are the best team in the league but there will not be a single game before the end of the season in which they will be able to take anything for granted. The result from yesterday we should pay most attention to is bottom of the league Dunfermline’s 0-3 win at Kilmarnock. This is a league without whipping boys.

One so old should be wise enough as to stop trying to grasp an eel.
I always think/thought that eel deserves a double ll – there is no logic to its spelling in comparison to its pronunciation.

Just realised McGowan was offside when he brought out that fantastic save from Foster.

Great post.
Can you imagine newco gets immediate SPL re-entry, playing at Ipox, and with similar name, strips, hateful fans, et al – and they win the title fairly soon? And gain admittance to the Champions League, representing Scotland?
It would simply be so farcial that I wouldn’t be able to take the Scottish football seriously any more.
And of course Keevins and Guidi would be congratulating them on their title, and calling any of us who demmured ‘hateful’.
It can’t be allowed to happen.
haha
got to laugh
for months now
been seeing the images of all CFC personnel on Wikipedia either wearing the poppy on the jersey or in an non-Celtic-friendly pose
haha
the rankers !
anyone know how to amend these images – would be appreciated – maybe change to Lenny cupping the ears and all others lifting the Scottish Cup etc
got to laugh

Like every other Tim out there I would love to see us winning every game by 3, 4, 5 and more goals, with honest officials I believe this to be possible, but we are in scotland, so that ain’t gonna be happening.
Like your good self I am amazed at the reaction of many others at their despondancy that we have won 12 iar, and we have had a 19 point swing in such a short space of time, I wonder what it will take for some to see the good work our coaches are doing in the face of all the obsticals that are put in the way to hinder our unrelenting progress.
HT , of course he wasn’t .
didn’t you hear the commentator saying he was “just about onside” ?
That’s good enough v us

I think the commentator was watching from behind a large lambeg drum.
He’s off, not by much mind, but still off.

I would argue that it’s covered by the second “case study” Would the St Mirren defender have been able head clear if Ledley hadn’t jumped? If not you can’t make the case that Ledley was “interfering with an opponent’s ability to play the ball.” Thus Ledley can’t be offside.
Shortbread commentator with venom”St Mirren have 3 ex Celtic players playing against THEM.
Reports of green skies over Scotland….a sign of things to come?!

Words…. are vibrant
Ineluctable… sounds like the lovely Scarlett telling me naw… slowly and deliciously
My old English teacher – Mrs Nash – used to denigrate us with luscious eloquence; wee Hughie McDade was told to “slither to the back of the class like the rest of the reptiles”.
Little did she know wee Hughie’s Da was a Spiny Tailed Iguana…. man, was she embarrassed

I appreciate your points.
I have no problem with a post that says ” Do you think we’d be better with player X rather than player Y in position Z? What d’ye think?”
I have a big issue with posts that read “What does that mug think he’s daein playing such a big diddy? Me and ma pals all know that is obviously wrong.”
There will be tims at CP in April/May, hopefully cheering us on in a game where we win this league back, who have walked out of Rugby Park after an hour and called Neil Lennon every name under the sun during our bad spell in October. They have every right to celebrate as much as me but I have every right to wonder how they would react if someone “supported” them at their work in the way that they “support” Celtic.
Such bias on here tonight……….
There’s a case that the Don’s goal was offside….when the Dons forward ran into the right hand side of Alan McGregor’s area……..The £10 million rated goalie must have been dying to KUNG-FU kick the runner ?
dwptom at 23:02
We’ll never know because Ledley was there.
This is why I think the offside law as it now is, far from being clear as suggested in the article you quoted has become one of impossible judgement calls for the officials.
The end result is that whatever call they make they can justify it, so Rangers get their goals and we don’t get ours.
Barry Robson.
he must read CQN.
tax case, allways thought celtic would win it,
normal haircut, plain white shirt.
bring him back for the run in.
better to have around than a Freddie I say.
the guy who scored the goal for aberdeen against the hun, gret box to box runner,
best sportscene in ages.
SANNA,
wheres the TAL tonight lighten up
Re Rogne’s goal, if it had been that linesman and the Huns had scored, would they have given the goal, it’s really that simple.
