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.

    The Sid Gallagher autobiography is well worth a read. Some mental stories included. :)

    Just popping in to offer my support to the #res12 guys.

     

    I don’t pretend to know the full story, I think very few of us know exactly what is going on, but I do appreciate the efforts of these fellas. They got off their arses and are trying to make a difference.

     

    It may succeed, it may not. But they’ve made an effort at a time when many on this blog and others were screaming for someone to do something.

     

    The slagging they’ve had from some is, in my opinion, nonsensical. The fact that we all know what “resolution 12” means is testament to their endeavours. Imagine if they hadn’t bothered!

     

    If resolution 12 is to succeed it will require the support of Celtic fans. We are capable of making things happen, of changing things, if we pull our collective fingers out like these guys have done.

     

    I offer them my thanks and full confidence, The Celtic PLC board, less so.

     

    I dearly hope the board prove me wrong.

    Our hosts last week were amazing.

     

    Each in their own way.

     

    I’ll forever be in their debt.

     

     

    The notion of rolling out of a pub in the centre of Dublin looking for a taxi then to have some guy in a car honk his horn at us…..for it to be yer Mhan wits who then loaded 5 of us (thunder road draped across the knees of the 3 in the back!!!!) into his car and drove us to the Gravediggers.

     

     

    Funny as fek doesn’t even begin to tell the story.

     

     

    I’ll never forget it…….

     

     

    Fortunately Ronnie didn’t win the Treble last year so our driver was wearing more than just Speedos and an impish grin!!!!!

    That was amazing

     

     

    Firstly I never park in the street as my office car is just around the corner and I can park there for free.

     

    But last saturday as I was driving down the street ( on my mission to buy birthday cake and card for my daughter) a spot became available,traffic was heavy so I just swerved into it,

     

    Got the cake etc,got back to car and said to myself ” up to the gravediggers to meet the lads” Yes I answered.

     

    Grabbed the phone,decided I would send big James a text to make sure he knew where the pub was etc,looked out the window and there I see the CQN 5 wandering aimlessly around Dublin like Leopold Bloom.

     

    Beep Beep,

     

    Beep Beep

     

    and the rest is history

    Its those ghastly socialists we have running the country,they insist on things like paid holidays for the hired help etc.

     

     

    Thanks for the birthday wishes ,she turned 18 last weekend,party in the house which I was dreading but it passed off peacfully

     

    Young people today are a very tame lot ( thankfully)

  24. winning captains on

    I know BRTH and Auldheid well.

     

     

    I know how much work they have put into Resolution 12, for no other reason than for the love of Celtic and the good of the game.

     

     

    As wee boy BRTH travelled with his family to support Celtc in the world club championship matches against Racing Club in South America.

     

     

    His dad organised the Celtic support in 1967 to get them to Lisbon and did the same a few years later for Milan.

     

     

    I know his sister ( who I was at University with) and his brother in law well. Good people and good Celtic supporters.

     

     

    I even know his mum who is a lovely lady.

     

     

    Another guy I went to Uni with is now a very successful solicitor in Glasgow and another Celtic man. On one occasion at Celtic Park he talked about BRTH with some awe, describing him as ‘a real lawyer’.

     

     

    We are lucky to have him and Auldheid ( who maybe should think more about his own well being than Res 12).

     

     

    The guys are close – very close – to a huge victory. Indeed such is the extent of what the prize actually is that is hasn’t actually been discussed.

     

     

    Wee clues have been dropped here and there over the past few weeks but that was when my opinion of this place was higher. Frankly it is being soiled by either those who fear Res 12 or may be worse those who seem to be green with envy.

     

     

    I don’t know the other two Res 12 guys but have nothing but respect for them. They will never stand alone.

     

     

    You do have to ask yourself is it worth it?

    Anybody watching Gogglebox ? Hun alert ! New family on from Glasgow and a Brigton loyal coffee mug on table FFS !

    Worth it? Remember many of us read every post and follow all the arguments and we’re not daft. We see agendas, polar opinions and repetitive posts. Some ghuys are firmly entrenched and I hope they are wrong, I am firmly behind our ‘resolutioners’ and I hope and pray they prevail but don’t doubt the silent majority.
