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….

Tainted title alright. Whatever the outcome re major wins, Nicklaus will always be held in higher regard. He would haveDQd himself.
Did you see the official guy earlier saying it would have been the same decision for any player? Garbage!
Doc.
We will get picked up at 12.00 tomorrow.
My mate has a table in the number 7, it will probably be a good seat, I’ll find out tomorrow.
To be honest I feel a bit guilty as I may be getting a ticket that should be going to someone more deserving of it.
But as the terminator said…im back.HH
sipsini I dont know bud , just got a phone call from a friend asking if I would like to join him.
It is tickets donated by (I THINK )taggarts for charity auction, that my friend bought and handed to a friend as a goodwill gesture.
On seeing this whoever donated the 2 tickets gave my mate another 2 freebies.
I will be teetotal so hope i can guarantee my behavior though knuckle rubbing corrupt barstewarts and me are a bad mix.

Bomber Brown will be on the independent review commitee and he wont rest until he knows who has the title deeds. H.H
Do you think the MBB will cooperate with the sevco independent inquiry?
Do you think the SFA will ask the MBB for his point of view on the sevco licence investigation?
Naw, neither do I.
Sevco away with it again? You bet!

How long have you been at this gemme? I despair.:O(
The SFAs failure to act in response to the news that it’s newest
member club is having an independent investigation into it’s own
chairpersons financial dealings and acquisition of the club
is beyond negligent.
It is complicit.
ibrox memories : 71 jan 2 , 1-0 up but really nervy , they equalise and its all over made our way to the kelvin hall , shows were on .First ride we go on the guy taking the money says ,were you lot at the game? aye we were robbed, at least your alive there are a lot of dead rangers fans .got off the ride and straight back to Maryhill the maw was really glad I didn’t stay out that night
Mighty Tim . Chris wanted to go to the rangers game 70 ? ,maw didn’t want him to go.Petesy said pat will look after him wont you? aye ok come way me and the boys. on the tube and its rocking tic at one end them at the other end of the carriage.
Copeland rd stop and they pile out followed by the bold chris ,come back here you shouts me but he gets caught up in the crush,so me and the mate curran jump off,
walked the length of the Copeland rd scarves ,banners the lot.chris says can I get a
programme? when we get to the celtic end your getting a slap no a programme!!
to be fair they only spat and threw stuff at us. polis laughed
Can’t for the life of me understand any Celt being less then enthusiastic about a Cup Semi Final. For me this is possibly the second most important aspect of our season. Qualifying for Group Stage of Champions League was by far the most important goal of the year, but being honest with ourselves we always knew we would win the SPL so 2nd most important thing is to win the Cup. You can’t win the Cup unless you win the semi so tomorrow is huge.

Agree with you 100%
Spot on Gordon64…..That should be our Mantra after we give them the benefit of the doubt when they get the shock news when opening up the office after the weekends events……wouldn’t hold my breath though :0)

Today’s game could and should have been played at Tynecastle and tomorrow’s could have been played at Easter Road. Hampden looks alright when it is full but not when half empty. Hibs will bring a good crowd to the final though so we need to get there and if we do insist on both teams wearing green and white. Not there yet though.

Nobody is actually running the gemme in Scotland anymore, just a load of huns and their hun pals running round like zombies franctically trying to put a dead club on the map somewhere and in the middle of this are the Majestic Glasgow Celtic trying to play football…

I actually did try to engage with you on tomorrow’s game when you first brought it up, but was ignored, so didny bother trying again:) Since then you’ve posted about sevco and golf so I just let it go.
I see tomorrow as a really big game and, I repeat, hope we go for it from the kick off.

If our players do not understand the importance of getting to the Scottish Cup Final, against Hibernian on our 125th Anniversary, then they have not been paying attention.
Starry …I’m guessing you are as bald as a coot….all guys (and lassies) with hairy
chists ,have nae hair up toap .
ahhhahhahhhahhhstayinalive C.S.C
if woods wasnt contracted by tv companies and ad companies to continue he would have pulled out (of the competition….obviously)
dont know about anyone else but couldnt care any less about the masters this year after that decision not to diqualify him
advertisers and tv companies rely on people to keep watchin

Are you watching the game at Paradise tomorrow ?.

And should be replaced by players who do understand to importance of the occasion and playing anywhere anytime for the Hoops.
When we have not played well and lost it is not usually individual errors(juve excluded) its a combined did not play to his best thing,
I can handle individual errors but dislike most of team not playing to potential.
In saying that as always I think that we will win comfortably tomorrow.

celt 55, Was away from board to have my tea since I came back I made another post about tomorrows game, was guilty as charged about making post about the Golf but can’t remember making any post about Sevco. Sorry if you feel I let the side down but yes I do feel the blog should concentrate on tomorrows match.
Sipsini, it’s good to be back, I know the feeling.
Cork Celt
Feeling a bit down about things – lots of fairly important things not going so well- and could have done with a game today to gee me up.
But I agree it’s a big game tomorrow. I’ll be there in the East Stand – or Celtic End as it was always known- expecting to be cheered up and looking forward to the pub afterwards where my mates and I will end up choosing some list of All time Celtic faves.
Hail! Hail!

After all the lies that the SFA have been told by Rangers over the years, and more recently by the Duff and Phelps puppets and by Whyte and Green, it is obvious that none of the liars have any integrity, morals,long term plans or visions for their beloved repugnant instituion but only to drag each other into 1 or 2 banks or each others banks to see how much they can split now then cut and run
I am also convinced that when this greedy egomainaical corruption that constituted rangers football club that poisoned the game in Scotland for so long will be acted upon (with nothing but puritanical John Knox type) integrity by the SFA and all its memeber in unison when it comes to decision time. They Will let the blaggers go, and for what they will call “A new beggining for Rangers”
Green gone
whyte gone
debt wiped
more dodgy funding
Rangers still at Ibrox
Aint that right Cambpbell?
And just as in the Great Rock & Roll swindle
the only ones cheated will be the punters.
