Fighting the same foe too many times

1064

Napoleon observed that no one should fight the same enemy too many times, as eventually their superior ways and techniques will become redundant as the inferior foe will eventually hit on a strategy which works.

Dundee United did reasonably well in their two games against Celtic in the last 9 days, despite playing a considerable part of both games with a man disadvantage.  They will arrive at Celtic Park tomorrow night having learned a few lessons, and hooping to compete with a full complement of players.

The danger for Celtic lies in what happened against St Johnstone at Celtic Park earlier this month.  The Perth team have won only two of their nine games since 17 January but they knew what to expect from Celtic, who were marginally off-pace, enough so to leave the field without points.  Another marginally off-pace performance tomorrow night and talk of trebles will evaporate in an instant.

If we’re vulnerable at any point between now and the end of the season, it’s this midweek.

    someone posted earlier they are in upper tier , not sure where, but when they contacted ticket office they were told to use their season ticket, maybe the bottom tier is sold out

     

    Hope so, might be worth a ring before you queue up at TO

     

     

    anyways enjoy the game :-))

  2. Not really interested in Dundee United negative press. What else have they got?

     

     

    More interested in Guidetti acting like a total plamph if reports are accurate. IMO Scepovic should be promoted to LG’s 60 minute replacement as I believe he has something positive to offer.

     

    JG, on the other hand, appears to emanate negativity, although he did mess with big Fujot on Sunday.

  3. Better Call Saul Episode 6 then the 2nd half of Monaco – Arsenal. Doesn’t get any better than that, Ted.

  5. St Patricks day 1956 on

    As you know, I don’t post very often, but with my nom de plume, I have to say,

     

    Happy St Patricks Day to you all,

     

    Hopefully tomorrow the team will keep their discipline and play football,

     

    We have the squad and the manager to win the treble, but it won’t be easy,

     

    I am sure everyone will be up for it tomorrow and as long as we are not complacent,

     

    we should do the business.

    Montrose Crescent mate, have a boy at the same school as yours (maybe the same year, S2?).

     

     

    Geordie has advised my card will be activated so no need to visit CP.

     

     

    If I were you, I’d ask for travelling expenses!

  9. Dena29,

     

     

    Top tier in South stand is open.

     

     

    HT,

     

     

    Cannot believe a fellow professional, putting out fires all day, giving me three hours overtime calming ole BSR! Hope you are prepared to team teach at the ole Gazebo tomorrow night.

    It was a partial wind up for the Dubs, but I agree it would be a cracker. I would help out this time. I failed miserably on that score with the Belfast gig, as I wasn’t 100% sure I’d be there.

  11. Wits,

     

    Posted a couple of times expressing gratitude (I think gratitude) for introducing me to Primo. Tough read, both books, but well worth the effort. When you think of the intensity that went into the writing of them and the story that they tell, the least that anyone can do is read them.

  12. Re Dublin 2016,

     

     

    Thanks Almore, I got your mail and a many others. Loads of people are offering to help.

     

     

    BMCWP you were the first man back, thanks.

     

     

    If anyone is interested drop me a mail on dublin2016@mail.com

     

     

    Just looking for non committal expressions of interest, then we’ll sort out the Dublin end.

  14. Ard macha,

     

    Your presence was enough lol. The time expended on the diary has covered you for every sin or omission that you think you might be culpable of.

  15. Árd Macha: What about Árd Macha for 2017? We could make it into a bit of a competition:)

    Can’t believe Monaco are 9 / 4 to win at home

     

     

    That will be due to the fact they are more likely to lose.

    Considering they won comfortably away to arsenal it seems strange to offer such generous odds

    My working day ends on that final bell but as it’s you I’ll make an exception. It’ll be worth it just to hear his rant!!

    I’m no expert but aren’t the prices a reflection of money wagered?

  23. HT

     

     

    We have fond memories of St Mary’s – sad news about Mrs Stewart’s pending departure.

     

     

    You’ll know all about S2 Options then?

  24. What is the Stars on

    Gearoid

     

    Sorry must have missed your earlier posts. Yes those books had a profound effect on me, amazing what humans can endure and survive. When the recession hit the old Republic of southern eire the amount of moaning about having to” sell one of the houses”…or Having to cancel “one of the holidays”. That I listened to, .I always suggested they read primo Levi to see how lucky they are and what privileged lives we all lead in the developed western world

  25. What is the Stars on

    Geordie

     

    Yes the money wagered affects the price.

     

    Arrogant arsenal fans thinking they can do away from home what they failed to do at home.

     

    Great price for home win

    Which is why they don’t need to win tonight, bookies are not stupid, if it’s tight late on they will not be trying to win

  28. gearoid1998,

     

     

    :-)

     

     

     

    Seriously though I did mean to mention that to you personally, but never got the chance.
