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.

    Nearest to Jinky I have seen in the flesh apart from Lionel Messi. Fantastic player to watch.

    Agree need for tempo and energy tomorrow night.

     

     

    Support and team aligned can give us that.

     

     

    Make sure you bring your friends along.

     

     

    We need a crowd and and atmosphere to align to get us over the line for a treble.

  3. Good evening all.

     

     

    Just to put everyone in the picture, read CRCs post at 2147 to realise why I am off this blog permanently. The amount of posters who have had a dig at me, most not knowing me, is unbelievable. Very disappointed in my, supposed friends from Germany, anyhoos, I have a fantastic future to look forward to and I will be at CP on Saturday. So looking forward to seeing the bhoys winning again.

     

     

    Just to confirm, the CQN corner will be given a big miss. You reap what you sow.

    Dude who misses last penalty for Bayer was the dude who missed in cup final.

     

     

    Canny be a German surely?

  5. Hello and a very happy St. Patrick’s day to you all!

     

     

    I haven’t been on here in a few years but I trust you are all keeping well?

     

     

    Anyhow, I came by this this evening and I thought it might raise a smile amongst some of you:

     

    4. Bohemians 3 – 2 Rangers

     

    bohs

     

     

    The Rangers fans tore up Dalymount Park after their 3-2 UEFA Cup loss to Bohemians in 1984. While Rangers went on to WIN the tie 4-3 with a 2-0 WIN in Ibrox, at a time when the League of Ireland was really, really struggling, it was still quite a result for the Bohs.

     

     

    A youthful Ally McCoist scored for Rangers before Gino Lawless hit a dramatic winner in injury time. Of course, beating Rangers nowadays would be nothing to get too excited about.

  6. doing good. ta for askin.

     

     

    thats my point, they dont want to come up to be humilitated by full time football teams, so they stay doon there.

  7. Probably posted already but I see Chopra featured for Alloa tonight having signed today. They should try signing a striker called Cadete.

  8. Bless me Father for I have sinned,

     

    I went onto deadclub media when i got home after hearing their result.

     

    If anyone and I mean anyone non sevconian is in need of a pick me up pages 27 -47 of the alloa thread will do the job (GUARANTEED),

     

    the pain of going one down till the supremacist (we want 10) when they go 2-1 onto the crushing despair and painwhen alloa equalise then the anger at the final whistle,Is a JOY to behold.

     

    my face is sore with laughingCSC.

  13. “11,9, and 8 mins injury time in last 3 games for Sevco.”

     

     

     

    Bsr,

     

     

    I’m no sure there was 11 tonight. There was a fair bit mindya.

  14. Timbhoy in Spain,

     

     

    I noticed you mentioned the live score app.

     

     

    That’s what I use but it’s highly inaccurate when it comes to time added on

    Apologies for delay, watching the news here in Ireland, all about the Unionists, doing deals ( not putting up opposition DUP & UUP) across 4 seats, to try and squeeze out Alliance/SDLP and Sinn Fien of course, who now Stormonts Green :-)

     

     

    Now that game, their season tickets will not count, not wanting they Edinburgh Huns, trying to buy more available tickets

     

     

    Now I will not be there tomorrow, and I do understand your views, but No SFA funds from me.

     

    Do They get a cut ? the gate is shared with DU.

     

    I will fund Celtic only, my choice, and I do. Suffer from this, as a major part of my life is following Celtic at Celtic park

     

    ( it does also help I will not be back from my wee juant to Ireland in time mind :-))

  22. BBC live text stated 6 minutes in second half and 1 minute in first.

     

    I have difficulty in believing anything that is said by Bbc but I think I will in this instance.

  23. Started using an app ‘Goal Live Scores’, click the wee star on any game and you get a text when a goal is scored,it’s about a minute quicker than the Sky goals programmes.Great when you have a coupon on.
