Infectious confidence

127

One of the positions we discussed strengthening during January was that of goalkeeper.  Since the return to action after the winter break, Joe Hart has probably contributed to Celtic picking up more points than at any time during his stay here.  He made memorable saves against Ross County and Hibs and contributed significantly in other games, including Kilmarnock.

Legend has it that busy keepers perform better than idle ones, as their focus keeps them sharp, so Joe could be enjoying time in the zone.  Despite this run of form, Joe has developed a tendency to punch high balls, followed by tens of thousands shouting, “Catch it!” – no undesirable outcome occurred.

Confidence is infections, as is its absence.  Defenders lose it when attackers cut through the midfield.  Keepers need confidence in their defence to be anywhere near their best.  Joe has seen it all and is probably better experienced to deal with our recent issues than a new recruit to the club.

He is also a serial winner who may be on the cusp or retirement.  We need big voices in the dressing room to carry us through the coming months.  It was maybe fortuitous he remains first choice for now.

    It’s a TV thing, if SKY are doing the game that’s it.

     

    Outwith the TV deal games like the Dundee home game, then Celtic can sell the rights to PPV.

    As well as that you cannot sell PPV for games which kick off on a Saturday at 3 and also maybe a few hours either side of it I believe. I think that is why you sometimes see games with 5.30 kick offs but are not on Sky they’re probably PPV.

    Celtic PLC don’t give a monkeys about the support. Only concern is how much they can fleece us and get away with it. Their time will come.

  6. Will DD not be accumulating more dividend payment the more money we have . ?

     

     

    Billionaires don’t get richer by emotional investment.

     

     

    Just a general observation I have not done the maths.
