Inconsistency costs Celtic cups

1483
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    We will have our work cut out against Juve who are easily the best team in Italy and are strolling Serie A ( it was possible to get 8/11 on them ante post-buying money or what?). We will need Barca like performances to have a chance particularly in Turin . In some ways more difficult opponents than Barca more physical direct and aggressive.

    Quite clever of him to say do the comparison on the last day of the season. As I don’t think we get the CL monies until after that.

    Think about what and why the exasperation (FFS) and why would you fear God??

     

     

    Trust God, Love God, Praise God yes but why would you fear God??

     

     

    So what is it you want me to think about??

     

     

    You’re sending me a clip about the Holocaust because I live in Switzerland???

    Interesting tweets from Mr Green’s Q&A

     

     

    “Charles Green says when we were in SPL he has parties interested in shirt and stadium sponsorship but not while we are in SFL3.”

     

     

    “He confirmed that the club is currently not in profit he also confirmed that this includes 2 years of season ticket that will be in this years accounts.”

     

     

    ——-

     

     

    When will there 1st year accounts be published ?

     

     

    And can we trust the figures when they are made available ?

    But then Charles Green has also said that The Rangers will never play in the SPL.

    When Challs drops the huns from a great height it will be as much fun as when Craigy bhoy sold the Arsenal shares,and the rapid demise that followed.

    Interesting the way that the old-guard of Federer and Nadal aregetting caught and overtaken by Djokovic and Murray!

     

     

    Embdee who suffers from IBS or other fatigue conditions may want to look at the Serbs wheat free diet.

     

     

    The guy was always good but has been a revelation since he gave up the wheat.

     

     

    Without trying to take Petec’s joab…

     

     

    Anyone interested may want to google Franken-wheat.

     

     

    I digest 10% of the wheat I used to and my IBS is 75% improved and my fatigued periods are much lessened.

     

     

    BTW: Most of the 10% is ingested thro’ Ale:-)

    Just had a look on Sevco Media and came across this response to Chuckles’ latest utterings.

    Would prefer a retractable roof which could generate income as multi function venue

     

     

    If there is going to be a massive capital spend within the next decade to increase the capacity then I totally agree that it’s got to be bigger than the piggery and also have a retractable roof and pitch for concerts/events all throughout the year.

     

     

    The income generated over the years would surely pay some of the initial spend.

    Afternoon bhoys & ghirls from a cold, dry hun free mountain valley.

     

     

    Less than a week to go in the transfer window, all seems to have gone quiet with the Hoops nd Vic out, all good imo, I read somewhere that if Vic was to go, the deal would have had to done a few days ago, due to work permit issues, I hope that is true.

     

     

    As for the tribute act, chuck is playing thems like a fiddle, an apt term, he is a better business man that I first gave him credit for mind you, but I still think they will go bust.

     

     

    But he seems to have a hold over the sfa, I posted this the other day, seems to have a ring of truth about it.

     

     

    Worth a look see.

    …..Shortbread have just revealed that in a slick commercial move piloted expertly by the ranjurs the solemn annual Loving Cup Celebrations – part of the fabric of scoddish life will now be lavishly sponsored by the world-renowned Govan based china shop.

     

     

    Henceforth the precious vessell used in the elite ceremony will carry the immortal legend…..

    Does the commentator have any idea where all the cash is coming from for such a capital spend

     

     

    No Euro games for years ..crap squad …minimal revenue in the lower leagues

     

     

    Stupid Huns indeed

    Sorry did I read that Charles Green was projecting an operating loss this season after the share issue and including this year’s and NEXT year’s season ticket sales?

    Green is just preying on the vulnerable/gullible at the end of the day. I think there was some sympathy previously for those Genuine Rangers supporters, Ed etc but if the current idiots don’t realise what is happening, they deserve to be ridiculed to the core.

     

     

     

    I really don’t know how these Media people sleep at night as they knew what was coming and know what is coming. Locked into a system, it seems you can’t get out of it. FFS you can get out of it, very easily.
