Hearts first of 5 big games left

586

Fixtures between now and the end of the season fall into two categories: games between Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts, and the rest. Aberdeen and Celtic each have to play Hearts home and away, while the only remaining fixture between the top two will take place at Celtic Park.

Despite the last minute turn-around and Aberdeen’s collapse two weeks ago, we are still very much in a title race which a reversal tomorrow would illustrate. Aberdeen don’t play until Sunday, so, as with two weeks ago, they will have to sit on wait on Celtic’s result. Derek McInnes will have marked this game out weeks ago as one he needs Celtic to drop points in.

Celtic have a settled look about the side. The goalkeeper and defenders have settled into good form, while a fully fit Brown and Bitton anchor the midfield. With Leigh Griffiths up front it’s the three places behind the striker Ronny Deila has to make decisions for.

Kris Commons enjoys playing against Hearts and has not been exerted by international football, he should play. Unlike Tom Rogic, who will surely sit out after his trip to Australia. Your guess is as good as mine as to who will play on the flanks.

    On a weekend of highlights,the tour around your “neighbourhood” was fascinating. That Feckin Termon,the monastery wi the huge tower and Celtic Crosses,The Boyne,the lot.

     

     

    Even the harbour wi the Celtic fleet!

     

     

    My Dad and I could never thank you enough for that,you made us feel like family friends.

     

     

    A special place,a special event,and a very special person.

    Paul67, why are you taking the p*ss out of me? what have i done to deserve it? im just a lurker and dont think i should be subjected to your taunts what am i talking about? well, those stupid adverts of course – especially the one that slides up from the bottom, then when i go to click the X to close it, it slides down and then slides up again causing me to click on the ad – which is what you want of course. but i also have to expand my browser just to get the the X in the first place – i dont want it to be full screen at work no doubt you will tell me just to switch off javascript – but surely the real answer is for you to tell your advertisers not to put adverts on the site that humiliate the user. it is your site after all

     

     

    unless you take great pleasure in our pain of course rant over

     

     

    =====

     

     

    Top rant son!

     

     

    Also why CQN is now 2 or 3 times per week for me now instead of every hour. That and the fact that there is so much drivel and most of the characters are gone.

     

     

    CQN with constant ads for betting etc! Whoda thought it? SAD!

    “Very simply , the Celtic Trust put their politics before the Celtic”

     

     

    What does that soundbite mean?

     

     

    I still see Trust members attending Celtic games, even though they have disagreed with some of the political decisions taken by Celtic. Decisions that you may see as economic rather than political decisions taken by the Celtic Board but are nonetheless, political, in its broadest sense.

     

     

    They are looking to hold Celtic to some ethical standards.

     

     

    If only rangers fans had thought of such an approach in 1988 when Murray arrived.

    I dont know what went on … but, with respect to lawyers … as one of them, I can honestly say that most of them don’t have an ounce of sense … so dont assume they realise anything! :)

  10. FGF, you can ask Che about that, he has bought me lunch now and again.

     

    All because Ieft my purse behind:-)

     

     

    Also for anyone who may doubt Res.12 the aim is to try to ensure correct governance of the game.

     

    The individuals behind it do so at great effort, in both time and talent.

     

    They deserve our support.

  11. BMCUWPs,

     

     

    Thanks, how come your the only one getting a lash from yer man Donald? We must ask him over next time?

     

     

    I asked the young fella, ‘how did you like meeting the CQNers on Friday?’

     

     

    He said ‘They’re sound, a bit mad in the head though.’

     

     

    To be fair he spent three hours in the motor with us. He enjoyed the BMCUWPs take on all things Celtic. His favourite was CCB singing on the way up the road.

    My wee yin hates football but she sings Grace from start to finish, as her mother also says it’s a love song…….

     

     

    By the way I think she hates football just to annoy me, with her mother following the lower league stuff I suppose I should just be thankful

    Well gents,

     

     

    I’m off for dinner.

     

     

    Have a good night, and be kind to one another. At the end of the day, we all want the same thing.

     

     

    will check in tomorrow for the game

     

     

    HH

     

     

    ps .. BR .. you know I was joking, right?

  20. The jam tarts are going to come at us hard and physical. Likelihood there will be another weak referee. If we play our ponderous passing game we could be in trouble. We need to meet fire with fire and pass it quick and clean and take our chances. Tomorrow will be a tough game.

  22. Gordon64, I think we will be at them early and hard.

     

    Scott Brown will be up for this one, might be the game where he finds his form.

     

    Everyone needs motivation.

    “Very simply , the Celtic Trust put their politics before the Celtic”

     

     

     

    What does that soundbite mean?

     

     

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

     

     

    It means that they are comfortable about harming Celtic to further their own political ends.

     

    My criticism of the Celtic Trust has nothing to do with the individual members.

     

    I am sure many of them act with the best of intentions.

     

     

    “Ethical standards” ? Whose ethics? What standards?

     

    The C.T. are a divisive force. Now that surely is unarguable.

     

    They want power in the Boardroom. They have admitted that. To achieve that , they are prepared to cause embarrassment to Celtic and division amongst the support.

     

     

    Now,S.F.T.B.,my fellow Tim. I really see nothing to be gained by my continually repeating my concerns and boring the pants off the blog.

     

    The only reason I have done so is because you referred to me by name .

     

    HINT.

    Just listening to Courteeners track, “Not 19 Forever.”

     

    Written for you bro. :)

  26. Doc I hope you are right amigo but Scott has not been at the races since he came back. Maybe tomorrow’s the battle he needs to get him back. HH

    This is your Crltic boozer (your words) I know heehaw about the Trust, but I have a feeling they do far more good than bad…… If you think things are political fair enough but it’s usually the “thinkers” that politicise the blog, why not leave the trust to do whatever and enjoy the hoops …. Celtic is whatever each Celtic fan wants to make it for themselves

     

    Apart from that hope you and the family are well
