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.

  9. It is really a ridiculous situation over at “The Big Hoose”.Today,Boyd said”A new manager,Jose Mouriniho could not help this team”And he is in it !!!!!!!

    HT,

     

     

    Not these days. ;)

     

     

     

    Tomorrow… Hmmm. I’m not sure neebs. Depends on who’s into replace Joe. I’d rather it was young Liam.

     

     

    In all honesty I think we’ll be comfy but every time I suggest that it tends to be either close or bad.

     

     

    You??

    When I couldn’t get my own seat for a euro game, I came on here bumping my gums about it. Your response was, ” well don’t go and stop moaning”. I did get my own seat, no thanks to your support. I really don’t know why I bother, there is always someone out there ready to diss me. Now you know why I’m a dead duck on here.

     

     

    God bless Wee Oscar.

    You got very upset over welsh and irish being written on here the other night

     

     

    I take it gibberish is acceptable

     

     

    Anyway at least you are back. or are you ???

  13. TB,

     

     

    Sevco have lost ‘the fear factor’.

     

     

    It was a huge part of their game.

  17. Geordie Munro,

     

     

    I think this team are really up for this game.RD has them raring to go.They can smell this treble.It wont be for the want of trying if they dont get it.

     

    Seen RD tonight on SSN.He was saying the team have lost 60 kilos since the season started.

     

    Somebody said earlier,”Looks like Kris Boyd found them”

     

    A belter.

  18. Weefra……..as CRC said earlier……sometimes comments in print come across differently to what was meant…..I only ever was “ripping the p#%s.”

     

    Absolutely no harm meant.

     

    Everyone’s allowed a rant….you’re no different

     

    I’ll be more careful in future…..let’s not fall out about it…..and I’m sure I’m talking for everyone who meant no harm……..How’s the lambs?

    I’m with you, rather than upset the side more I’d have Henderson as a straight replacement for Johansen.

     

     

    I predicted 2-0 for Sunday so I’m going 2-1 Celtic tomorrow :-)

    Surpassed myself,mate. Caught the train before that.

     

     

    AYRSHIRTIM should be in charge of the military,he planned that perfectly.

  22. HT,

     

     

    As I posted earlier Liam started in the last game that Joe missed… But I’m sure Forrest was injured.

     

     

    Guidetti and Griff started too but I think that’d be a change too far tomorrow ;)

     

     

    I’m really looking forward to it.

    You are correct about that

     

    But it doesnt seem to work

     

    Everyone constantly apologises to him for imaginary wrongs and it only seems to make it worse

     

     

    I dont know him,but he seemed a decent type of chap,but his behaviour recently has been irrational to say the least

    Agreed, sometimes we all see a slight when there is none, hopefully he will read back and see there was nothing wrong in what you posted

    Anyway….

     

     

    Just had a magic night in Partick,casual evening of talking bollix with friends old and new.

     

     

    I reckon you all know who you are,so say no more. Everyone a star. Everyone in my debt.

     

     

    And darn little chance of anyone spilling my pint in that company either!
