This time last year there was far too much talk about trebles on these pages. Celtic were flying in all three competitions, having established a lead in the league, and were heading for a League Cup semi-final against Falkirk. Falkirk were beaten but it took a late Anthony Stokes goal to make the game safe for Celtic. The script was written; a final against Kilmarnock, who always bottled it against Celtic in Glasgow, and a successful run in the Scottish Cup was all that stood between us and the fourth treble in our history.
I’ve lost count of how many such trebles we’ve look forward to. Football has a way of promising lots but it takes an exceptionally good and consistent team to win both cup competitions, as well as the league. More often than not, great and dominant teams don’t win the treble.
Celtic are a great and exciting team but they have not been nearly consistent enough to win the treble this season. We have lost two from eight home games and two from seven away. Good enough to win the league but not to win two cups.
I watched a bit of St Mirren at home to Ross County before heading to Celtic Park last weekend. They were far from impressive but no less so than when we beat them by seven goals in the SPL four years ago. The following week the same team knocked us out of the Scottish Cup.
Sunday is one of the biggest games currently on the roster. Raise your game, Celtic.

Joking aside (I know it’s almost practically impossible when discussing THEM) but that’s yet ANOTHER embarrassing display. McInally was spot on last week, they should be scoring 3 or 4 every game and should have much superior fitness levels. I predict a sound beating by the arabs next week and the most glorious thing is….even then they will blindly follow follow sally, the most inept manager since…well…since….i’ll have to get back to you in that one! How much it must be hurting the MSM…come on and increase their pain tomorrow Celtic!
Sally not happy that Caley-Hearts was a draw and they’ve been given extra time.
He demands compulsory 30 min additional at Mordor in event of draw. Otherwise just another example of SPL discrimination…
Half time in extra time. Still 1-1 as ICT miss an open goal.
Condolences to Zybszek. Hope the Zombies added a little cheer in a bleak time.
Guy on Sportscene on bbc next to nevin has a coupon like Droopy

The chaps giving the nazi salutes have their Union Jack upside down, a sign of distress, which is probably appropriate.
Michael Grant ..he of the Craig White puppet fame ..has a face for radio
The MSM keep rolling out the compliant eejits
Some team that Sevco. Canny stop laughing!!
Old Chuckie boy better flog those shares pronto
Ya dancer!
Not so clever against 11 men ,are they?
Ernie
They wouldn’t know …despite the fact that it appears to mean that much to them
Who do we think would be the stiffest opposition in the final? At this moment in time I would much rather face hertz than Caley.
Just got my spare brain (ye olde iPad) back: lent it to my missus for a course she’s on, and the withdrawals have been intense…….not really…I’m no gadget-head, but I do
Iike this thingy.
Anyway, what chawlls latest verbal toaly consist of today?
Cretin.
Lookin’ forward to all things Celtic tomorrow as we brave Humpdump to take on St. Midden and the obligatory mibbery.

Opposition finish with eleven men
Huntlybhoy
IMHO I think we could beat the pair of them together . 22 v 11 seems fair
Just lifted this post from The Bears Den, there are plenty better ones but Paul’s language code wouldn’t permit a copy & paste.
P.S. They are claiming an attendance of 46,000 they must be getting supported by ghosts as well as zombies.

McCoist as a manager has been a huge let down. Great ambassador for the club through the years and will always love guy… all them ore reason why it’s so painful to see him jumping about the touchline dressed like a gypo in a trackie while his team is nothing short of clueless, tactically & creatively, no leadership, motivation, nothing

Stiffest opposition for the final…..mmmmm….the ref?
Don’t understand the huns moaning on the fone ins.bfdj’s voice is about to break.
Montrose scored both goals and thems got a point!!!
CQN napsters,
apologies for the very late nap, but an appropriate one… :o)
Salute to Seville (Wolves 5.30pm)
Cheers, fleagle1888
Nae red card to benefit the zombie lumpfaces….
…..a world record claimed again…
Sipsini
Smirk away …. Mind compliment them on the ambitious stadium development plans. While smirking
Do you still work until 1pm…
….PFayr
I said to a mate during the week, Its going to take the bookies highlighting this skullduggery for something to be done,read it was 1/100 on a red card today.
Greengo is like an old fashioned farm mucked spreader indiscriminately spreading BS
Initially I thought he was funny ..now he’s annoying me ……
Irritating numpty
Kikinthenakas, very good point!

Brilliant quote mate… They are claiming an attendance of 46000. They must be getting supported by ghosts as well as zombies.
Top quality .

You just up ya lazy bass?
Pens it is then.
Penalties in the semi-final. Norris blew for a free for Hearts in a dangerous position. Lined it all up and blew as the guy was about to take it.
On to kicks from the penalty mark (if they can find it)at Easter Road.
Happy to take Hearts in the final …assuming we qualify ..,,
They’re guff
The boy jinky.
Ye 1.00, needs must.
If things go against them with the ebt’s next week I’ll need body armour;-)
Pens
Hertz score 1st
So let’s see if the science discussed on CQN earlier in the week regarding penalties comes to the fore here.
Hearts to go first, which is meant to give you a 60% chance to win.
Zaliukas scores right-footed. Went high.
Left-footed down the middle by G Shinnie, scores.
1-1
Ngoo right-footed scores to the right.
2-1 Hearts.
Cliftonville start with a Huddle.
