Free weekends just not right

602

There’s something not right about a free weekend in early March; we should still have been in the Cup.  Congratulations are therefore due to the five managers who remain in the competition, who have each shown remarkable abilities and are truly invaluable resources to their respective clubs – worth contract extensions all round.

Congratulations are also due to the 40,000 Aberdeen fans who will pack Celtic Park next weekend for the League Cup Final.  Opponents, Inverness, have shifted only 7,000 of their 20,000 allocation, although I hear there is a brisk trade in tickets this morning, many of which will end up in the hands of Aberdeen supporters.

40,000 Aberdeen fans at a game may be unprecedented, despite the 147,365 attendance at their 1937 Scottish Cup Final against Celtic.  No one was to know demand would be so buoyant from Aberdeen, but now the SPFL do know, they need to ensure the spare circa 13,000 tickets are sold to Aberdeen fans in a controlled manner.

Many thanks to everyone who donated to Mary’s Meals since the MyDonate link went up on Friday.  We are more than halfway there to funding the second school kitchen, at St Joseph’s Primary School in Kasungu, Malawi.  Stunned at the response.  You can get involved here.

Seville, The Celtic Movement, launches this month.

“It might not happen anytime soon but sometime down the line I’d like to think we could get there again. Maybe even go that extra mile and win the Cup. Henrik Larsson was our hero in this outstanding run and we’d probably need to look at finding another Henrik to get us there again! Remember that Celtic recently finished ahead of Benfica in Champions League Group stages and they dropped into the Europa Cup, reached the final and were very unlucky not to win it.”

    Incidentally the baboon was enough for the balloon :-)

     

    Plus he claimed earlier he had lost a significant sum investing in Sevco

    I agree even if they keep their *best* players and with no investment inevitable Div One

     

    could be where they’ll remain.

     

     

    They are well short of SPL level.

  4. Winning Captains

     

    I agree re being ruthless next year, but it was our own inadequacies that saw us exit 2 cups this term.

     

     

    Aberdeen were well up for it, we were not, and the Morton game was just one of those nights when we could have played till midnight and still not scored.

     

     

    Despite having the league almost in the bag, most of us will feel that this season has been disappointing, I also hope the players and management feel the same..

     

    But you’re right the pressure will be on big time, next year to win the treble.

  5. I think there are some on here not giving Sally credit.instead of sending Elbows forward (6ft 1”) he sent forward Moshi (6ft 3”) the mans a tactical genius.

    I have never been big on watching the Hun -but –

     

     

    Got a text from a PTFC pal advising re the watching of ” the gift they needed to get a draw with Albion Rovers ”

     

     

    Got a text from a Hertz pal advising re the watching of a classic ” utterly inept or a cheat?” thing .

     

     

    I watched it ———— it was a foul.

     

     

    Showed it to my octogenarian Inter supporting neighbor–

     

     

    ” even Rube would be embarassed by that “.

  12. The Honest Cover-up on

    Like others on here, yesterday was only the second time I have seen Sevco play since their formation.

     

    Wow, they really are an abysmal outfit. They genuinely are at the level of Albion Rovers and other lower league clubs. And this is them after having overspent humugously to allow them back ot back promotions.

     

    Any Celtic fan who “misses” a strong team in blue playing at Ibrox really needs to wake up and smell the coffee. The current outfit calling themselves “Rangers” will not be on our radar for many, many years to come if ever at all.

     

    I have friends who watch a lot of lower league football and they all say the same thing. There is very little difference between the bottom division and the old second division but there is a big jump up to the Championship. I reckon if newco can avoid financial meltdown they will struggle in the Championship.

     

    The Honest Mistake yesterday saved them from a humiliating defeat to Albion Rovers but they really could end up with an even more humiliating absolute pasting if Dundee United turn up.

    Do me a favour and ask your old Inter neighbour for his best and top 3 Italian players ever. Tough call I reckon. Other countries are more nailed on…Brazil Pele, Germany Beckenbauer, Argentina Diego or Messi..etc…cheers

  14. What we need on CQN is our own version of mystic Meg someone with a crystal ball someone who can read tea leaves.

     

     

    The reason I ask is that any prediction no matter how outlandish will be better than hearing the msm predictions of sevco results

     

     

    From Guidi to Keevins they see something in Sevco we don’t

     

     

    Has anyone noticed the old cliché ‘they have not played anybody yet’ has never been mentioned by the msm

     

     

    I have just had a go at reading the coffee grinds at the bottom of my mug

     

     

    And they are saying to me sevco will not win the Scottish cup or the Ramsdens

  15. Honest mistakes aka Hunnery Pokery……

     

     

    1. Showed my 8 y/o their ‘goal’ yesterday. Part of his continuing education. ‘That was a goal when your grandpa played in the 70s. Not since then….. Anywhere….. apart from there…….’

     

     

    2. Backdrop showed some of their patrons jumping about in such a joy-filled frenzy that old Elbows post-penalty ball-kissing seemed almost understated by comparison.

    Little known fact, but Pele is not considered the greatest footballer by Brazilians. Garrincha is the top man for them.

    No need to ask him -he tells me regularly –

     

     

    Gianni Rivera

     

    Gigi Meroni

     

    Giuseppe Meazza.

     

     

    He also bigs up———-

     

     

    Silvio Piola, Claudio Gentile, Luigi Riva, Del Piero , Cannavaro, Baggio, Pirlo, Nesta, Baresi, Maldini , Pirlo.and Scirea

  22. Marrakesh Express on

    I said Rivera Baresi Baggio. I read Meroni was some player until he was tragically killed.. Hard to leave out Riva too.

  23. Marrakesh Express on

    Stein

     

     

    Yes i did read that about Garrincha but some said the same about Didi too. When anyone looks at Pele’s record it really is unbeatable. Off the top of my head its 3 world cups ( injured in first game 62).1300 odd goals. World club champs. A player who had no everything and no weakness.

    Gigi Meroni —–a fabulous player . Tragically killed,aged 24 . AKA ——” The Butterfly ” , ” The 5th Beatle, ” The Italian George Best”.

     

     

    He is on You Tube. There is a very good tv drama of his life and career which includes film of him playing ——La Farfalla Granata ——– based on a book with the same title by Nando Dalla Chiesa.

     

     

    Famously refused to sign for Juventus.
