Derbies against struggling mid-table teams

217

Another home Glasgow derby against a team struggling in mid-table and another lead conceded. This is why consecutively winning so many games is historically difficult, not just in the Scottish league.

The randomness of Ade Azeez scoring at Celtic Park is what keeps football from going stale. Fortunately, that randomness didn’t extend to scoring a winner, so the potential of an unbeaten treble remains alive.

There were plusses. Eboue Kouassi made his first start, and Tom Rogic returned from a lengthy absence to replace Eboue shortly after the hour. Jack Aitchison, our youngest ever goal scorer, got the last 15 minutes, a valuable exposure to the heady heights of first team football.

I doubt Brendan Rodgers will be even slightly upset by the dropped points to the extent that he would be less keen to rest players for Kilmarnock on Saturday. Even though Kilmarnock are clearly world-beaters after securing a point against the greatest coach to finish in fifth place in Qatar.

In the next couple of weeks we’ll be shipping, In the Heat of Lisbon, with what is an absolute cracker of a T-shirt (below). If you don’t know what it is, I’m not going to tell you, but I think it’s just brilliant…..

    Jobo, I’m with you …………………….. when you are trying to speed read, and you want to flash past the usual posts, you do really need the usual suspects to be on line!

     

     

    Until tomorrow now. Hail Hail all Timmies.

    You go down to Dublin from Donegal

     

    You go up to Dublin from Cork

    Yesterday I watched a stunning retrospective of the troubles `70 , 80 ,90s. on History channel Fox .

    A French production ,ergo not over sympathetic to the Brits. :-)

     

    The difference was that it included vision I had never seen before .

     

    Presumably some of it from French sources.

  7. With the prospect of Sevco suffering a heavy defeat on Palm Sunday, I expect ICT may get the benefit of a few “honest mistakes” on Saturday.

     

    A three point gap would put pressure on them especially with them having to play against top 6 sides in the run in.

    From “200 Years Together” :

     

     

    “You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse.

     

     

    The October Revolution was not what you call in America the ‘Russian Revolution.’ It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people.

     

     

     

    More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their blood-stained hands….

     

     

    Than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history.

     

     

    It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time.

     

     

     

    The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that

     

    the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators.”

    Very interesting. A devastating indictment.

    That Roberts article is thought provoking.

    I really hope this doesn’t escalate but Genie Energy Ltd will be delighted by developments in Syria

  14. Just makes a complex conflict more confused.

     

    El Sissi and the ordanian Crown Prince were at White House this week..

     

    I wonder if they had any input or any inkling.

    Be surprising if those two were not given a non-specific heads up.

    Genie Energy’s Strategic advisory board is composed of: Dick Cheney (former vice president of the United States), Rupert Murdoch (media mogul and chairman of News Corp), James Woolsey (former CIA director), Larry Summers (former head of the US Treasury), and Bill Richardson, former Governor of New Mexico, an ex-ambassador to the United Nations and United States Energy Secretary

    The west just allied with ISIS in Syria

  24. Economic/geo-political reasons for attacking Syria?

     

     

    A RIG carrying out exploratory drilling is hardly a rare sight in the Middle East; but this is no ordinary place. Israeli flags fly on it, though no other country in the world recognises Israel’s sovereignty over the area. A few miles to the east, jihadist rebel groups are fighting a bloody war. And few people ever expected that significant amounts of oil might lie there at all, under a dormant volcanic field. Welcome to the Golan Heights.

     

     

    Israeli and American oilmen believe they have discovered a bonanza in this most inconvenient of sites. After three test-drillings, Yuval Bartov, the chief geologist of Genie Oil & Gas, a subsidiary of American-based Genie Energy, says his company thinks it has found an oil reservoir “with the potential of billions of barrels”.

    What is the current dollar cost of 86 human lives ?

     

     

    And who kerrs ?

  26. Too simple to say US supports ISIS.

     

    On tax payers contribution to the Tomahawks fired, how many tax paying immigrants does it take to cover the grants to Planned Parenthood which is committing infanticide on our own shores?

  27. The strike seems be designed to minimize casualties.

     

    Early morning launch, Russians pre warned and it’s a Friday morning, Moslem holy day

    Planned parenthood arose out of the private medical insurance scam in the USA where pregnancy was labeled a pre existing condition and the pill was considered as immoral as marijuana.

     

    So the government stepped in with taxes. You need to take a step back and analyze . Nothing to do with morality everything to do with money.
