Getting ready for our summer panic

615

We have a curious end of season coming up.  Out of the Scottish Cup and a matter of weeks away from securing the league, the last six weeks of the season will hold no competitive challenge for Celtic.  Neil Lennon has suggested he will, as last season, rest players with next season’s Champions League qualifiers in mind.

The end of last season, however, was complicated by the Scottish Cup Final, so players were spared in small numbers, for short periods.  There is no reason why we cannot give players the equivalent of their summer break the day after the title is secured, on the basis that they return earlier than normal, to build competitiveness before we experience our annual fright against a team we need to look up in order to spell.

Send them away as soon as possible, do a Kenny and play the promising youth players, and get the first team back very early.

Congratulations to Patrick Kerr, who was at table 16 at CQteN, and who has won a Champagne lunch for two at The Honours restaurant, Edinburgh.  The Honours is owned by Michelin Star chef, Martin Wishart.  It will be a great experience, Patrick.  We’ll be in touch by email.

Seville – The Celtic Movement, is moving…

““Look at that old bloke there in the full kit. He looks like a Subutteo man”. Turned out it was my dad and we hugged and shed a tear. We were altogether as most of the guys from our CSC had met him and heading to a European final. Our CSC was 5 years old. We had our flag and we were ready to watch our team lift the cup.”

    ……… unless – the man who would be king spoils it all by giving Sleekit a war chest. Would he be that daft with his money?

     

    ==============

     

    No, he would not be that daft with his money ………. other people’s money, perhaps.

    Sincere sympathies on the death of your father. I know it is no consolation at this sad time but by your own account he had fitted in enough experiences to have lived the life of a 150 year old. Cherish your memories and document them BRTH.

     

    RIP James Mc Ginley

    Steinreigned,

     

     

    But Utd struggled against the buddies at the weekend don’tchaknow ;)

  7. Like Steinreignedsupreme I can only see one outcome.

     

     

    I’ve never tuned into a Newco match on Tele,.

     

    but I may just make an exception for the Dundee Utd game

     

    I’m sure Jackie and Simon will relish the task.

    Just nipped in to ask……

     

     

    Is the Russia/Ukraine cross-border football experiment still a goer?

  9. Steinreignedsupreme on

    The next Sevco scandal may well involve someone emptying the ole Season Ticket Trust fund and toddling off to sunnier parts.

     

     

    Well maybe not the next one, as the new season starts at the end of July and there are likely to be a few scandals before then…

    By the time that game comes round United will be running scared of Sevco, according to alleged journalists all over Scotland.

     

     

    But as well all know, they don’t deal in reality, especially when it comes to Sevco.

     

     

    Dundee United will go through them like a dose of salts. It will be like watching Sumo wrestlers in a sprint against Usain Bolt.

  18. Rock Tree Bhoy on

    Kojo,

     

     

    Yes theirin lies the concern, saw the Albion Rovers keeper getting bundled in to the net, no suprise there, then shock horror the ref is running to the centre cirlce awarding a goal! Couldn’t belive it, last time I saw that type of goal given the game was shown in black and white – long time ago. It was more than controversial, even Richard Gough (studio pundit) looked embarassed by it, so you’re right, that is a concern.

     

     

    However my money is on Steinreignedsupreme – he usually gets these things right.

  19. BRTH

     

     

    Sincere Condolences in the sad loss of your Dad, you carry his name and I am sure he will carry you and your family through this very sad time, thoughts and prayers with you all.

     

     

    Rest in Peace Mr James McGinley

    Condolences to BRTH.

     

     

    Just looking at that Hearts squad, anyone who thinks they are going to halt the advance of the newhuns may need to think again. Unless they spend in the summer, they could be the ones who get stuck in a lower league.

     

     

    Dundee United will pump them though, even accounting for 2 penalties for the home team.

    I believe between mouthfuls of greegz pies and quaffin a can a jinja the leader aff of the cheats is saying ‘part time fans don’t deserve tickets’ cos fans of his new club don’t just turn up for big games

     

     

    bemuses me as this is the biggest game in their 2 year old history so far.

     

     

    a lie oft repeated is still a lie.
