Hearts first of 5 big games left

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    RC…

     

     

    Yep, mental, I’ll keep it short, ended up in a club, 200 hundred plus Celtic fans and a coloured male stripper came on, only to be smacked on the erchie with Celtic scarves.

     

     

    Slept in a toilet with supporters jostling to get a heat of a hand dryer, as it was freezing…I could say more:)

     

     

    Memories:) HH

    U can be happy that you are driving a Nir Bitton standard vehicle.

     

     

    Captain of his national team, no less

  5. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Roy, great photos again . Thanks.

     

     

    The one with Frank McGarvey is the one from his first game against us since his return to St Mirren. The response to him from the Jungle that day , was memorable.

     

     

    It was also one of Davie Provan’s best games for us from what I remember.

     

     

    Hearts will do what Hearts do tomorrow, we need to be right up for it and the support will help the players if they get backed from the first to the final whistle.

     

     

    Madden is the ref tomorrow.

    Good evening, great weekend ahead, well it looks that way anyway.

     

    Roy Croppie, great images..well done and more power to your hard drive.

     

    All set for Paradise by the stormy light tomorrow? Got a feeling we will spank them, no doubt fuelled by a nice wee drop of Weston’s Organic Cider which is just hitting the spot right now.

     

    Cannot get over excited by all the Res 12 stuff, I know and hope for the best but always feel that the fix is in.

     

    Football is what matters now, all other stuff takes a back seat. If there is anything worse than an international break it is an international break for freindly matches….what a sack of shit.

     

    Celtic Park at lunch time and dinner spent watching El Clasico, God is great indeed..

     

    Hail! Hail!

    On a lighter note as the weekend is on us I was reminded of the story of Sid Gallagher, a Clydebank man who wrote his autobiography The War Baby which is free online. http://www.30612.mrsite.com/USERIMAGES/The%20War%20Baby%20E-pdf.pdf

     

     

    Working on various road construction projects in England in the 1960s Sid picks it up:

     

    “Anyway Poochy and another Clydebank character Pat McDade were keeping house for us when we were at work. This should have entailed them buying food and cooking it for us coming home, but mostly consisted of them buying wine instead of food and drinking it all day so that by the time we came home they were usually pretty pissed and there was little if anything in the way of dinner.

     

     

    Anyway one evening after dinner we were all watching a drama about Mary Queen of Scots, and as the Queen’s troubles with the English Queen were acted out ending in her being beheaded the mood of the two housekeepers, Poochy and Pat deteriorated. By this time steaming drunk, they cursed the English for all they had done to our Scots queen, and this outpouring of anti-English racism went outside the room as the two patriots started abusing passers-by and then throwing bottles at our neighbour’s windows and doors.

     

     

    When the police inevitably came we sat back and enjoyed scenes that were like something from the Keystone Cops as Poochy punched a policeman, then he and Pat ran through the front of the house and out the back door with the police in hot pursuit. Minutes later, having given the cops the slip, the pair came running through the back door and out the front again, followed in minutes by the police, who had called for reinforcements.

     

     

    We were by now howling with laughter as we watched this farce. The by now large police presence in the area eventually paid off, and the pair were run down and handcuffed. When the police took statements to find out what had caused this outburst of riotous conduct, Poochy the patriot said they did it because of what the English had done to our Queen of Scots.

     

     

    “But that was 500 years ago said the police sergeant”, “aye but we just found out about it tonight on the telly” said the bold Pooch. Poochy and Pat got three months apiece to read up on their history. ”

     

     

    Only the Bankies!

    BlantyreTim,

     

     

    Haven’t looked in for a while. Surprised to see the extent of criticism Bitton is getting. The bloke who sits behind me in 209 must be posting tonight!!

     

     

    I’ll wander over for a blether with TOHG at half time as usual (even though the supply of steak pies has mysteriously dried up recently)!

    Yes the flowing tide,havent been there in a while

     

    There used to be a few unrepentant fenian bassas hanging around there

     

    The High Tide was around the corner and The Starry Plough across the road,

     

    They were all good pubs years ago,lefties and union guys out of liberty hall,

     

    The Plough closed years ago,

     

    all changed,changed utterly etc

  34. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Blantyre, I was going to include that your dad was probably not that impressed with Ally and Peter wearing a red goalie top but thought I might be a bit presumptious.

     

     

    I hoping to listen this weekend to the podcast he did with Celtic Undetground.

     

     

    The articles on Celtic Quick News about some of our players who had their Celtic careers ended by injury have been a good read especially about two guys I’m glad played for us, Stevie Murray and Pat Stanton.
