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….

    Aye mate I actually mentioned this same point on here after Regan said it. At first I asked why but when you realised what was at stake for them it was easy to understand why.

     

     

    Unfortunately they are still the establishment club no matter where they play and until they get back to where the establishment wants them they will get every helping hand possible

     

     

    Strangely I expect they did not factor in the Craigy Whyte tapes the scam would have been for Chuck to shaft CW out of the deeds right enough and move on with CW universally discredited and without evidence anything he said later would have been meaningless

     

     

    The SFA will not move against them unless they have absolutely no choice in the meantime the internal Sevco investigation buys them both time

    Anyone out there know if any child’s tickets are left for tomorrows game? Thanx

     

     

    I got one last Thursday for my daughter.

     

    Behind the goals only.

  4. Tiger hasn’t done the decent thing and disqualified himself. He has had 3 great birdie chances on 1st 3 holes he has made just one. Hope he doesn’t win, if he does, this would certainly be a tainted Title in the fullest sense of the word.

    I haven’t attended Iboke for many years and will never go back there. Also I will never go back to Hampdump so SFA trophies mean nothing to me.

     

     

    I wish the bhoys well but couldnae give a frinstance.

    Sorry mate , really pissed off with this carry on but that’s just me .

     

    On tomorrow’s game , I hope we start at a high tempo and play a quick passing game . When we slow it down to much I think we lose our way and get bogged down .

     

    Hoping for any kind of victory but think 2-0 to Celtic .

  9. There was never a question of me and my bhoy not attending tomorrow’s semi final. But after today’s extravaganza I’m looking even more forward to it.

     

     

    It’s great to support a team that potentially still has a number of meaningful games. Talking of which I haven’t yet seen any venues yet suggested for next Sunday afternoon…. ;-)

    I would like us to win the Cup this year to give our team more confidence but any faith that I never had in the SFA is gone now and it will take a real change in direction and philosophy from the SFA to entice me back to Hampden, as for Ibrokes haven’t been there since the 80’s bad enough the scum have to come to us..

    Its all about clout mate and unfortunately for Dunfermline they are going through their hell while Sevco are still needing fixed

     

     

    Everything takes second place to their survival even if we won the CL somehow they would still manage to make the backpages before us for all the wrong reasons

     

     

    All we can do is keep chipping away at the mountain of corruption that is rangers old and new

     

     

    I’m optimistic though there is only so much bulls crap you can lie for before it looks ridiculous

     

     

    And they are looking ridiculous now

    wandered into the pub at the back of 4 today. Looked at two Hibees with scraf’s and strips on “left after 29 mins then” I asked, no reply but rolling eyes………

  14. Tomorrow’s game?

     

     

    Difficult but no Russell is a big loss for them and , ludicrous though it seems, we are a decent result in the Den of Hamp

     

     

    As for Ibrox – last game I was there was the semi v Utd in 99. Cannot imagine I’ll ever be back

    I have bet Efe at 12/1 to score anytime in 90mins,

     

    I really hope young Adam Matthews plays , His display of staying on his feet and defending agains GMS after being criminally put on a yellow card by cheat Madden for that shocking penalty decision was TOP DRAWER.

  16. Doc.

     

     

    Sorry i never got back to you.

     

    My teenage kids told me I’m not allowed on Facebook.lol

     

    Where you sit looks good, hopefully I’ll get

     

    seats around or about that section.

     

    I got a ticket for tomorrow along with my mates last week.

     

    Then my brother phoned if I fancied hospitality.

     

    Problem being the seat is with the sfa hobnobs.

     

    As I’ve sat amongst them before when we beat hibs 3-0 in the final everyone of them went back into the hospitality as soon as the final whistle was blown bar me and my brother and a handful of celtic fans.

     

    I don’t think i could contain myself amongst that shower with what has went on as is going on.HH

  17. In terms of heading the totally independent inquiry of an organisation headed by chuck green, internationally respected, former head of the sfa, duff…n…ield.

     

     

    He also has an axe to grind whytey wi

  18. Hope Lenny doesn’t tinker with team again. Start with same 11 that won comfortably at home to Hibs last week.

  19. Another closed season dominated by BS about T’ Rangers or whatever they’re called

     

     

    Feckin boring …..come on CFC challenge the SFA bassas and put an end to his crap

  20. sipsini

     

    I’m in Hospitality aswell (first time) dont know where i am.

     

    So that would make at least two of us :))

     

    Whats the rules for Hun hq.

  21. FourGreenFields

     

     

    Me too they do get you flustered but of course waking up every day as a Celt is more important and tomorrows another day to wake up to with a cup semi they can only dream of

     

     

    Hail Hail

  22. prestonpans bhoys on

    Off to the North Stand tomorrow, I have never, never seen the bhoys lose from there unlike the East :(

  23. Anyone else see the idiot millwall fan showing off his (hidden in jacket) stolen police hat ,

     

    Live on TV cameras to millions :)).

     

    I was waiting on his phone to ring and his mam to tell him to put it back.

  24. ….PFayr

     

    Tomorrow he will be on the end of an inswinger ,tuck it away with ease and somersault for 40 yards :))

  25. Drove few Hibs fans over to game…”Do you miss ragers games ?” they ask innocently.

     

    “Naw a fekn well don’t, I stopped going to ipox 12 years ago because I despised their hatred, despised listening to thems in my stadium ,despised kids getting beat up or killed

     

    because of the scumbags”…so that’s a no from me.

     

     

    btw it’s ok to despise hatred for any pedants oot there.
