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.

  1. In the dark days of 2009, 2010 and 2011, when a Rangers team financially doped up to the eyebrows with money they should have set aside as contingency to pay the big tax bill, you may re member the Celtic support totally divided on the wisdom or otherwise of Celtic’s more prudent approach to finances.

     

     

    I always thought our approach right and that at some time Rangers would get their come uppance.

     

     

    However I never imagined in my wildest dreams that they would screw up their very existence with such a disregard for karma and reality.

     

     

    These twin fates can be seen sitting on the roof of Ibrox stadium with safety belts fastened to stop them falling off the roof laughing.

     

     

    I just hope the decide to pay Hampden a visit next.

    If karma and reality are really on the roof down Govan way I seriously hope they are strapped on to something . You wouldn’t catch me up there given the state it’s in ;)

    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

     

     

    Do you know what was said? Don’t think so, so please do not judge me on your own opinion of me. You are correct, you don’t know me, and never will. You’re loss.

    Can you please ask those twin fates to swap the safety belts for bungee ropes?

     

     

    Thanks,bud. I just want to laugh and laugh and laugh again.

     

     

    Sorry if that upsets anyone on here,not sorry if it upsets anyone elsewhere.

     

     

    And too busy laughing to care either way

     

     

    MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

    Irish Rock at the BBC on BBC4 now, opened with Thin Lizzy, great end to the night.

  8. Well, Another Terrible Performance………

     

     

    The Huns are just too damn funny these days.

     

     

    Carlsberg, thank you for a lovely St Patrick’s Day.

     

     

    I wonder what the King’s great plan is.

     

     

    I have the feeling that it’s gonna give me a laugh too.

     

     

    Life is sweet.

     

     

    Treble on.

  9. weefra

     

     

    I only know you through your posts……

     

    Genuine question…..Is everything ok with you?

     

     

    Going by your normal posts this is very much not like you…….

     

     

    And I’m not trying to be funny

    As soon as I posted that,I spotted the flaw. That ticket might well be valid-all HCTS should be-but not if the seat isn’t.

     

     

    Obviously the usual shambles then. Hope it works out ok.

  11. BMCUW

     

     

    I’ll sort it tomorrow but it’s a shambles all brought about by the absurd, in my opinion, decision to close the top tier.

     

     

    Anyway, glad you caught the flying rug home in time :/)

     

     

    Night all.

    I never met you and have no real interest in doing so

     

     

    However you have behaved very irationally on here recently

     

     

    No one has insulted you ,yet you claim to have been insulted or “defiled” as you so quaintly put it the other night.Then you announce you are leaving

     

    The people that are supposed to have insulted you are genuinely shocked by this and offer apologies which you then refuse to accept

     

     

    Very irrational behaviour,life is too short for this nonsense

  13. “So am I if I can get my blinkin ticket sorted!!”

     

     

    HT,

     

     

    Worst case….I think I’ll have a spare parent and child….you can have that.

     

     

    You can even bring an adult with ye ;))

    I’ve never gave much time to the veracity of Karma but I actually started straying towards that tonight for the first time with regards to the others

     

    I found the words confession, humility, and repentance ringing through my ears

     

    If only they had went down that route who knows what may have been the the outcome

     

    But the again such thought processes may have too much of a Catholic connotation to them

    Great to attend a mini hootenanny on Saint Patrick’s day in my birthplace of Partick. Great company tonight. Thank you bhoys & ghirls.

    Weefra the poor wee lamb

     

     

    You think you are a wise guy?

     

    You are an eejit and fud.

  17. just had a scan back over recent posts. Guidetti got a mention or two. But I said a couple of weeks ago our Ronny will man manage that young talent… and Big Ron is playing him perfectly.

     

     

    ‘Its obscurity? or sign for the Celts and I’ll make you a hero son?’

     

     

    up to you Johnny bhoy?

    Brilliant for that blether, you know you are a star. See ya saturday, at our pre arranged spot. HH

    Don’t let the clowns and village eejits bring you down pal.

     

    See you Saturday.

  20. As a lurker reading through tonight’s posts, weefra comes across as an immature juvenile, who’s parents should put a block on his browser…which is probably far from accurate.

     

     

    I don’t know what has upset weedra, but I’ve read some posts from others tonight who are bending over backwards with toe-curling, cringeworthy style attempts to appease him and I can’t help but offer some input…

     

     

    MAN UP !!!!

     

     

    This is an internet blog FFS. People type cracking posts every day – others post crap – read what you like, respond even, or ignore and scroll by.

     

    Weefra, you may be a great person to sit and have a beer/chat with, but tonight you paint yourself as some big softie who’s tender feelings have been permanently scarred by the wordings of fellow posters!

     

    Apologies are rebuked, and you say your no’ playing any more.

     

     

    Get a grip!
