History beckons against Hearts at home

352

If an invincible season in the league is to be completed, we now know it will happen at Celtic Park on Sunday, 21 May, against Hearts. While getting over the line is always the most difficult part of a challenge, away games at Pittodrie, where we play nearest challengers Aberdeen, on Friday 12 May, and Ibrox, where we play Newco on 29 April, will present the most significant challenges to our attempts to complete the season undefeated.

There is also the non-trivial matter of an away derby match against our oldest Glasgow rivals, Partick Thistle, on 18 May. Thistle are a tidy team, currently on excellent form. This is exactly the kind of game that has a tendency of stopping history in its tracks.  We’ve work to do at Dingwall on Sunday before any of this, of course.

The league split was conceived to accommodate competing needs for more teams in the top flight, but fewer games. This season it has also given us some really attractive looking games after the main issue was settled.

I know one or two who would like future fixtures to be arranged to avoid the title being decided during Lent. I’m not going to say this will be easy to achieve, but it could easily be added to the agenda at next monthly conclave between the SFA, the Scottish Premiership and the Vatican.

We have halfway through our two day raffle for TWO TICKETS to the Scottish Cup semi-final next weekend. Raffle is in aid of Mary’s Meals. To enter, make a minimum £5 donation here, then email me, celticquicknews@gmail.com with the words “Scottish Cup” in the subject line, to confirm your entry.

This is a short competition, so get in quick. Competition closes noon tomorrow. Many thanks to those who entered yesterday. Remember to put your contact details on your email, wouldn’t be the first time someone didn’t get the winning email confirmation.

All orders will be shipped on Tuesday!

  1. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Jimmynotpaul, sounds a bit like Clydebank’s season . It seems to be a constant among most junior teams, being inconsistent. Pollok have been inconsistent also and Tony was was getting criticised earlier this season by some of their support.

     

     

    John Paul McBride , that’s a blast from the past. Another of our promising young players who played a few games as sub but for whatever reason, never made it.

     

     

    Good to see Efe winning championship player of the month. I like to see good guys getting rewarded. He still gets grief from some in our support on twitter .

    Given word for Tomily in the 4.10 at Lingfield tomorrow

    Oh first we get Mats Nilloc/Mr Pastry….The The Donald comes along.

     

    What a surprise…not

  5. Dallas.

     

    A girl in works relative plays for Bankies u/21s he scored a hat against Beith. She showed me the press report, the Beith fans, at an u/21s game had a U.J. in the teams colour saying Beith Loyal.

     

    John Paul, I knew you would remember him, he is still Celtic to the core.

     

    Efe.

     

    I’m delighted for him. In the summer he will be eligible for UK passport/ residency? so I fully expect him to join an English Championship club.

     

    Hail Hail.

     

    Night all.

     

    Enjoy.

    That was funny. :-@)))

     

     

    Well at least it made me laugh anyway.

     

     

    Reassess Peter’s failure of the last 8 years or so.

     

     

    Downsizing, employing unqualified manager, attacking sections of own support, willingly handing over supporters details without legal war rents required, so on and so forth.

     

     

    Na I’ll stick with my view of him, Ta.

     

     

    Did you get my email reply?

    Re the Ulster Plantation and the Immigration debate.

     

     

    We have had this discussion before.

     

    Its nonsense and you must know it.

     

     

     

    For the record I will put it simply for you Syrian refugees fleeing their war torn country should be welcomed with open arms

     

     

    However..

     

     

    If the Syrian army invaded Ireland tomorrow and drove the natives from their homes replacing them with syrians who would remain loyal to their mother country..that would equate to the Ulster Plantation and should and would be resisted .

     

     

     

    ——-

     

     

    Hmmm…..

     

     

    If The Irish Army Invaded Japan Tomorrow….

     

     

    And Drove The Hirohitos From Their Homes….

     

     

    Replacing Them With Kellys,Rooneys, O’Connors,& Lynches

     

     

    Who Wanted To Remain Loyal To Their Dear Ol’ Emerald Isle…

     

     

    Would That Equate To The Ulster Plantation…

     

     

    That Should Be Resisted.

     

     

     

    Would This Justify Aerial Bombing Of Vital Infrastructure…

     

     

     

    In Dear Ol’ Dublin Town …

     

     

    Like The Giant Guinness Brewery..?

    Jimmynotpaul., bankies under 21’s team have got through to Scottish Cup Final which hopefully I can go to.

     

     

    I was driving through Cumnock last week and noticed a few British flags about the pace including on garden with a RAF flag in it . Very strange .

     

     

    Good to hear that about John Paul. Some of ex players should take note.

     

     

    I hope things work ut for Efe an his family , one of life’s good guys.

     

     

    Enjoy your kip.

  10. Further to the young Galicians in 67 tonight.

     

     

    Bade them farewell and asked what the rest of their holiday entailed…

     

     

    Dingwall on Sunday with tickets. ???????

  11. For the Sopranos fans and guys who i am jealous of because they have never seen it……the best TV show ever IMO. I noticed is started again a couple of weeks ago on Sky Atlantic , and watched again for about the 5th time,and picked up stuff i never noticed.James Gandolfini was the best cast actor in any series, but the supporting cast and their part in the total brilliance if the programme won’t be beaten.If you read about it on here,and are bored, get with the programme.

  13. Babasonicos71. Sorry to read about your dad passing away . Take care .

     

     

    Big Jimmy , glad to read that your hopeful to get a decent result in your long term scrap with the legal eagles , and fair play to Ernie Lynch and Bmcuw for their input . Hopefully catch you for a catch up before or after a game soon . HH

  14. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Bada Bing, I agree with you re the Sopranos. This was the first HBO series I ever watched and is still the best among many fine series produced by them.

  15. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    The Greenman, a band called Timmy Trumpet are playing at the Academy this weekend.

  16. Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan on

    If Brendan wins the treble he will be manager if the year.

     

     

    If not it will be Alan Archiebald.

  17. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Dallas Dallas

     

     

    I know them well…..Mats Nilloc/Mr Pastry/ThompsonTwin/The Donald playing all the instruments himself, especially the flute:)

     

     

    HH

  18. Dallas Dallas . Agree 100% about the Sopranos with you and Bada Bing . I see you mentioned the flag poles with the butchers apron flying in Cumnock . Unfortunately it’s a growing trend in a few villages around Ayrshire .

     

    Many of the loyalist community who were forced to leave or chose to leave when their internal disputes erupted chose to re locate in these villages . Makes you wonder why ???

  19. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    The Green man, I was as thick as a bottle of chips according to one of those posters you mentioned. A phrase I had never heard or have heard since.

     

     

    Good night all and sleep well .

  20. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Strangely….they are still on CQN

  21. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Angelgabriel, I think that mad dog Adair character lives in Troon .

     

     

    That loyal mob from the six counties are definitely not a positive influence in society.

  22. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    Had a watch of Brother Pedro’s presser earlier. He spoke of a league (Greece?), where the winners of the league were declared before the play-offs (to determine European qualification), and these winners took no part in the play offs, to allow them to finish their season early and therefore allow them the time to prepare properly for the next seasons Champions League.

     

     

    Boy talks some sense…..

     

    …. puts on tin hat and leaves the building.

    The Butchers Apron was flying over Trump Turnberry last weekend btw ! Saw it on way by on Hoops bhus to Paradise also U J ‘s in a few gardens in Girvan ! But enough Tim’s to keep it lit here ! HH!
