Home after perilous away fixtures

Kilmarnock come to Celtic Park tomorrow on what is an historical run of form.  One defeat (at Ibrox) in 12 games since early December, which includes their win over Celtic, has elevated Derek McInnes to a regard almost as high as their pies.

As we found to our cost in December, they are a very well organised outfit who know how to defend and who can break forward with purpose, but let’s not overplay the threat, they are not Brazil 1970.  They have only won three league games since defeating Celtic, single goal victories against St Johnstone, St Mirren and Livingston.

They have opened a 10-point gap on better-resourced Hibs and Aberdeen, but it has been an exerting time for maxed-out squad.  McInnes’s experience has elevated them beyond the normal scope of their resources.

After three consecutive away games a return to Celtic Park is welcome.  That run of fixtures had a perilous look to it beforehand, so taking seven from nine points is not a shoddy return.   I expect Adam Idah to start up front with Kyogo sitting behind as he did so effectively in Paisley.

Brendan Rodgers now has options in forward positions, so can confidently change things up if we are not making progress.  We are likely to see four wingers deployed at stages across the game as he figures out who his preferred starting pair is.

    Modern day footballer having to sit and answer such utter drivel questioning. Oh for the days when Football news started with a few fleeting words on a Thursday and ended on Monday. As for tomorrow and every other game, focus on supporting the team. Never been a rebel looking for a cause (and low and behold there’s a big one now). Football is for football.

    The CQN bully, who is despised by at least 80% of the people left on here.

     

     

    Tell us a rambling tale about the time you set FIFA straight about the Bosman ruling when you met Sepp Blatter on the train from Vienna to Strasbourg,

    You were pontificating recently about swearing on the blog. . . .. . .

     

    You are nothing but a name dropping bag of wind with delusions of grandeur, you are yet another of life’s failures and you dress it on here by acting the hard man, know it all, friend to many, when anyone with a modicum of intellect can see through your schtick to find you are a lonely and sad individual with too much time on your hands and no one to spend it with, flitting between old folks homes to cheer up the residents to pass the long days. Do you bring an accordion?

    I see you are looking to settle an argument that you are intellectually incapable of winning with words.

     

     

    Why does this not surprise me friend? . . . .. . .. . . ..

    An Tearman,

     

     

    It would be around 1958 to 60, I think. Belfastjoe (I think) found an Arbroath game, which might be the one I attended. The Raith Rovers game would have been about the same time. I can’t remember either game except for being there.

    It’s obvious they Abada would be fine playing for most clubs in the UK.

     

     

    The support with a strong pro Palestine sentiment is clearly unsettling him.

     

     

    Therefore it’s 10% logical that sadly the support is influencing his lack of engagement. Only someone incredibly stupid or biased would miss that connection.

     

     

    I wish some of the support who seem so engaged about the horrific plight of the people of Palestine would actually attend the rally’s with us or even just encourage their prospective labour MPs to lobby starmer ahead of Wednesdays vote for a ceasefire.

    “……sadly the support is influencing his lack of engagement.”

     

     

    At the moment, we fans can only speculate as to what are the thoughts of Liel Abada.

     

    However, what is almost certain, Abada can no longer be seen to applaud or engage with the Celtic fans. Our support is now considered to be anti-semitic by, I imagine, most Israelis and any involvement with the fans on the part of the player would only increase the hostile pressure on him from home. There is only one outcome to this predicament as far as I can see…

     

     

     

    Free Palestine.

    That’s the second time in as many hours you’ve posted this.

     

     

    Here’s me thinking we’re here to discuss a tight title race.

     

     

    Honestly, those who use Celtic as a vehicle to promote their own politics and ego is astonishing.

    If Liel Abada were Palestinian I would certainly understand his position.

     

     

    If he doesn’t want to play for us because of the pro-Palestinian element of our support, then I’m afraid it’s time to call a halt and let the boy go.

     

     

    Free Palestine…

    Can everyone see what started off as “ifs”at 5.29pm morphed in to an “almost certainty” by 10.46pm?

    You imagined all that from inside your head(s)? It reads as self commentary Gimpy.

     

    No delusions there,thats a fact.

     

    You only have the confidence to type,maybe call grifter galloway at a push and even then where those modicums combine into a scintilla of intellect(tonights new word) you will still be envious and wanton and like your head empty.

     

    Be active,typin with thimbles dont quite cut it

     

    Get out there,it will help you

  36. The Blogger Formerly Known As GM on

    Bob, the use of “if” implies supposition i.e. you’re assuming something, but do not have facts.

     

     

    However, saying something is certain or “almost certain’” implies complete knowledge of the facts.

     

     

    Only the hard of thinking would suggest otherwise.

     

     

    Bobby, I’d suggest you have no clue about what’s going through Liel Abada’s mind.

    You are just not happy,thats coming across,

     

    Typing at folk,all night,folk you dont know.
