Double time for Celtic

780

It is nonsense to talk about Hampden Hoodoos, Celtic’s five defeats there since Neil Lennon became manager have been a result of poor performances, not superstition (fighting the urge to mention two last minute penalty decisions).  Celtic were unquestionably the stronger team on four of those five occasions, arguably all five, but they have been tactically out-thought at the national stadium time after time.

We are vastly stronger than Dundee United but once the whistle goes tomorrow, unless we can match them for hunger, arrest the defensive lapses which have blighted us all season, and find the key to breakdown what will be a tight defence, there is no reason to believe the outcome will be any different than when we faced a weaker St Mirren.

Shortly before that St Mirren defeat I said we were not playing consistently to win the treble we were short odds for.  Consistency hasn’t improved much since, which is why you are hearing talk coming out of Lennoxtown about this being the biggest game of the season.

It’s double time….

    God bless the ten.

  8. I hear the Liverpool fans were doing the”Inverness Conga” today.

     

     

    “Let’s all do the Conga – Maggie is no longer!!”

  9. I was talking to Mrs Dharma about Tiger and what has happened to him; I was saying that all the other players should withdraw from the competition. Mrs Dharma suggested that instead of that, all the other players should commit exactly the same offence as Teflon Tiger and see what happens.

  10. 1988………..just magic.

     

     

    Aged 19, money in ma tail, had hair, didn’t suffer hangovers.

     

    I thought life was easy, Celtic always won, it was our Centenary , even behind with a minute to go we all knew.

     

    I did believe in fairy tales , it was all written in the stars.

     

    Anton knocks it over , Macca puts it in.

     

    Henry, Henry drop the ball.

     

    Wee Joe, Big Mick, Anton, Chrissie Morris,felt like I knew them all. They were my pals, warriors who fought for me every time they pulled on that glorious hooped jersey.

     

     

    Caesar, King Billy,The greatest living Celt……thanks for everything

    I read that earlier too…

     

     

    No wonder the cabinet finally grew a pair and threw her out the front door.

     

     

    They DID do that, didn’t they?

     

     

    It’s hard to believe from the fawning coverage we’ve had!

    Mrs AB has her birthday tomorrow… I m sweating over a Sabbath “lunch” date… It would be insensitive of me to mention the game?

     

     

    I ve pointed out that surely the trip to Edinburgh on fri with some junior ABs AND good views of Mr Panda at the zoo, is enough excitement for a week….

     

     

    And the sabbath should be respected as a day of rest(in front of tv )…

     

     

    Reckon I’m without a chance…

    Then a Scoucer spotted My Wee Celtic badge..Didnae even Scalp me..

  16. As a happy hacker at various courses,Golf really has lost it’s soul today.A decision that will be regretted, but it’s too late now.

  17. Emus

     

    You took one for the team.

     

    I’m sure i eventually pulled you over the wall.

     

    We had a great day and night

    I was shocked at the decision not to get rid of the Tiger, had he had any integrity about him, he would have walked.

     

     

    A sad day indeed.

     

     

    Money, tis all about the muney

  19. TBJ, been out a lot for the last couple of days and missed the Woods thing, just caught up with it, after the Armstrong thing, you would think they would learn, rules, what are they for!

  20. I am a useless golfer,really useless,but enjoy watching top tournaments,but no longer,sport as we know it is on slippery slope.TV makes all the big decisions.

  21. Any chance of getting this on Maggies urn

     

     

    Never in the history of mankind has one woman done so much for so few and so much less for everyone else
