Incredible variety and also similarity from Celtic

128
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

A very impressive win over Dundee was astonishing for both the variety of goals and also the similarity in their genesis.  Seven goals from seven different scorers is incredible, perhaps unmatched in our history.  By halftime, only four outfield players were not on the scoresheet.  You may conclude that this is a team that can score from anywhere.  To a point.

The other astonishing aspect of the game was that six goals were created by attacks down the right.  Yang committed his man and won a freekick, the result of which was Cameron Carter-Vickers’ opener.

Alistair Johnston crossed for Adam Idah to score Celtic’s second, just as they did on Sunday.  The left still contributes.  Greg Taylor measured a cross into the heart of the Dundee box for Matt O’Riley to score Celtic’s third headed goal.  Two headed crosses from Taylor converted in two games is an above average return.

After that, it was all down the right.  Daizen Maeda turned inside and shot first-time into the corner of the net, after collecting from O’Riley on the right wing.  Johnston again provided a cross, deflected into the air, for Taylor to make it five.

Yang twisted twice to lose Dundee’s Beck before crossing into the heart of the box for Callum McGregor.  The captain played a one-two with Taylor before shooting low into the net from 14 yards.  Halftime arrived with a dose of bewilderment; do we have our Celtic back?

With the job done and a big game ahead, the pace dropped off in the second period.  Brendan Rodgers hooked the pivotal Idah, who earlier reacted to a petulant grab and was booked.  He will encounter more frustrated defenders if he continues in this form, so had better get used to it.

In a carbon copy of his earlier cross to McGregor, Yang rolled another ball along the deck, deep into the box.  This time Daniel Kelly was there to measure a shot into the postage stamp corner.  The entire right side of the field, with Carter-Vickers, O’Riley, Johnston and Yang reduced Dundee’s defending to a shambles.  Their 21-year-old left back Owen Beck, whom Celtic were interested in, in January, will have easier days.

Yang is also 21 and still acclimatising to life in a different continent.  It will not always be like this (it never is for a winger), but our job is not to rubbish talent like petulant children.  If we want success (some of us appear to be more comfortable in a state of trauma), we have to learn what its early stages look like.  Hint: it looks like Yang’s season so far.

    Reggie(earlier)!

     

    As for Peter Lawwell, Rangers were going for 4 in a row when they were liquidated. Lawwell’s domestic success is predicated entirely on having no competition.

     

     

    Utter utter shoite mate.

     

    Do remind the blog,which events took place,that resulted in what is colloquially termed-

     

    the shitinoot!,

     

    Or in the business world the global ignomony of Liquidation on 14/6/12.

     

     

    Ergo Celtics second 9iar is not valid due to cheatin hunnery self harm?…Gtf wi that notion.

     

    Every bit of their journey round the u-bend was due to Sir Hunner of Pence’s cheating hunnery,they own every single bit of chaos that came on them,Sir Hunner of Pence it was who conceived and rolled out as cheatinhun business policy their road to the liquidation.Celtic had nothing to do with their self harm.

     

    As Bada says PL did not play for Celtic

     

    Your assertion is better suited on one of the hun platforms,you read it there often.

     

    If your goin to pick Paul up on semantics get your own English in order.

     

    We won our trophies fair and square,see your pal Minty for explanations as to what exactly happened to them

    Having an EBT as an emplyee is not a crime. Why would you expect people who were paid through an EBT to be banned from future employment?

     

     

    Apart from all that, it was a long time ago. I for one am sick hearing Celtic supporters constantly bringing up EBTs.

     

     

    Time to move on.

     

     

    Tom,

     

    Ebts are illegal if they are not fully engaged with the tax authorities

     

    Thats why Her Majestys RC had the liquidated entity in court until 2016/7.

     

    And it issued its own statement against all the ‘noise”fluff’,’move on’ “shenanigan dust” stating it won all cases against the entity sold by Sir Hunner of Pence for a hunner pence.

     

     

    They did not disclose any side notes to the sfa,whose leader ‘oor’Campbell Ogilvie was a recipient, 92.01% of the liquidated entitys players were illegally registered,regardless of the decision by Consultant Nimmo Smith who started with his answer(no title stripping) and worked back.

     

     

    It is fair to mention their tax evasion as they profited from it,they were footballers and that is the business they now attempt to comment on.

     

     

    You be as sick as you want Tom,you will be for the rest if time,as that will be the amount of time Celtic fans will be reminding the cheating hun of Sir Hunner of Pences self harm.

     

     

    I have moved on Tom,they are a new club.

    I do indeed have your email. Neighbour just appeared with a nice bourbon though. I will, as always, educate he and others on the Celtic way.

     

     

    Lost a friend last week. If you are are struggling reach out to someone. Speak up. It’s tough for men sometimes but for f*ck sake speak to someone.

     

     

    Peace.

    Good morning all from a frosty 0 degree Garngad, scrapey icy car thingy outside.

     

     

    For any shipbank swaree fellows, I am going to try and make today but I have had a real busy time this last few weeks at work and my phone is away getting fixed (hopefully back today) so I have not been able to contact anyone as I deleted all the cqn contacts off my other phone.

    What a difference a week makes.

     

    Last Friday, the chance of 3 victories was uncertain. Now its 2 down, 1 to go.

     

    A victory in Auld Reekie will really confirm we’re back motoring.

    BelmontBrian,

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Funnily enough I heard that SAHB song last night for the first time (the album/single/non live version) and really liked it.

     

     

    ………..

     

    The Sensational Alex Harvey Band were one of my favourite bands back in the 1970’s.

     

    I saw them LIVE around 6 or 7 times….SUPERB LIVE Band who never disappointed.

     

    Alex Harvey took a swig of my Beer from my Kerry OOT at a gig in Hamilton Town Hall, while we were both jiggin with each other in the aisle, as the band played on.

     

     

    At the same Gig….ZAL CLEMINSON called me ” A NAUGHTY BOY” over his mike.

     

    LOL

     

    The SAHB were fab fun.

     

    HH

     

     

    R.I.P. ALEX.

    The SAHB GIG in Hamilton Town Hall…..just BEFORE they became well known.

     

    I think there was ONLY around 40/50 people at THAT Gig ?

     

     

    At the start of the Gig, ALEX HARVEY came on stage ALONE…..and APOLOGISED to the sparse audience for the poor turn out.

     

    He then said…” The SHOW MUST go on”, and it surely did. SAHB were just superb.
