Firhill is the stage, fickle looking form

520

You can imagine the anticipation Celtic players as they arrived for training this morning for Saturday’s visit to Firhill. They must be bursting a gut, just desperate to get onto the field and do their stuff. You and I have seen lots of this team, but right now, today, they will have an edge that’s been missing for so long. They have questions to answer, points to prove and a league title to win.

Firhill will be their stage. If anyone at Lennoxtown is in doubt about the job required, I still have my boots, just let me at them.

It’s indicative of where we are that those two draws (Hamilton and Dundee) plunged us into a form crisis. Since the turn of the year we’ve won 9 out of 13 games, failing to win twice with 10 men, once away to our nearest challengers, and that awful Dundee game at Celtic Park. Were it not for the two red cards, I expect the dip in form would be scarcely noticeable.

Over the same period Aberdeen have had a far easier programme, playing only 9 games (in 9 weeks). They’ve won six of these games, including the last two, which has put a more respectable look on their form. It’s still not any better than Celtic’s, though.

We’re still playing fixture catch-up, as we’ve six games in the next five weeks, to Aberdeen’s four, but that’s the price of reaching the latter stages of cup competitions.

    condolences to Mountblow Tim… will say a prayer for you and your family tonight.

    BT,

     

    That’s how we got the res through, the shareholders interests can have a few different interpretations, acting on information that proves the company was cheated out of money is harder for them to obfuscate. No taking action could be a criminal offence., it’s all about finding the place to shove the gemmy :)

    Sincere condolences to mount blow Tim. … a candle will be lit at St brides Cambuslang

     

     

    Crc .. the feeling of knowing some Bassa has invaded your home is a terrible one that’s often worse for the women and kids . Every dog has their day mate … scummy Kents

    On Res12.

     

     

    Devestated to learn of Celtic dragging their feet and placing obstacles in its path.

     

    Cannot for the life of me work it out.

     

    What is the end game for the club?

     

    Remain silent forever?

     

    If the broad body of The support knew about this I can only see it ending badly for us.

     

    Surely the SFA cannot get away with it?

     

    A governing body breaking rules to the benefit of one club and the detriment of others!!!!

     

    Why would we not pursue this?

     

    What are we scared of?

     

    Do these guys have something on us?

     

    So many questions and as per usual not a peep from our board.

     

     

    When will they grow a backbone ?

     

     

    Please God soon.

    We are taking what we think is the earliest deadline, 31st March, it may extend to the end of the season as that is how long the monitoring process lasts.

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune, dropped you a text Bhud

     

     

    Finally just watching the program on the Dunblane massacre

     

    I was on shift with one of the guys who very sadly lost his son, his Mum also worked in same place as us, and from a good Cowie family. ( Aiden Bhoy you will know the family, mother was from just round the corner from you)

     

    So thoughts and prayers for wee John Petries family

     

     

    Hail Hail

  12. Big huns oot the big cup.

     

     

    Tbj…Whitney was gorgeous before she went of the rails.

     

     

    Canamalar…cheeky bassa :)

  13. Canamalar.

     

    Thanks for your replies etc ,please keep us informed.

     

    Please keep up the good fight , don’t be fobbed off, go for the throat .

     

    Can you not start fighting dirty.

     

    Maybe start a bit of snowdropping PL’s washing out on the line or sumfin.

     

    You might get a nice suit hanging on the line.(no chance of an Arthur Black an a pair or wranglers).

  14. As stated earlier, I was at the Jags v Sheep game last nite.

     

    I expect us to stuff Thistle on Saturday. They are powder puff up front,

     

    a very uninspiring midfield and a real dodgy defence!

     

    Only player of note was the Jags right winger…..worth the watchin.

     

    NB. Not that I’m making any excuses beforehand, the pitch[Jackie Husband Standside]

     

    is completely worn…..no excuse tho !!

     

    Onwards

     

    Hail Hail

    I always thought KFC did Pepsi with their meals … is it coke in the USA :)

  16. CRC

     

    Terrible feeling, I feel for your family, it’s the violation, had the same happen to us a couple of times, then we decide to invest in big dogs, never happened since, cheaper than insurance and they give you something back.

    I thought she was amazing. .. for years.

     

     

    In fact many of her songs were personal favourites of me and the love of my life . We even put one on the wedding video .

     

     

    But we went to the nec to watch her … paid a lot of dosh on travel and hotels etc. .. she was Coked out her nut and gibbering a load of mince … I love you Bobby etc and singing frekn Gospel songs and forgetting the words to my favourites. I lost so much respect for her that night

    PSG are a terrific side, so many quality players and really playing as a team. Not always the case with highly paid players.
