Intelligent play, Directors’ box hospitality competition

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Champions League match day six was a dead rubber, I wasn’t at the game only watched on TV, but two days on I’m still full of the emotional thrill of the occasion.  With that in mind, the thought that today will be the players final training session before a league game tomorrow illustrates the challenge for Brendan Rodgers.

The players put everything into the game in Manchester, they were visibly flagging near the end.  They will also have shared the high of the occasion.  Bringing that all together to face a team who have been planning nothing but how to frustrate a potentially lethargic and distracted Celtic for a week and you have a game punters would generally avoid backing the favourites in.

News that James Forrest’s hamstring isn’t causing too much concern is welcome.  We’ve all been there.  You feel the twinge but it’s not enough to stop you, so you carry on.  James has more experience of injury than most footballers, as a consequence it looks like he left the field before a “tightness” became an injury.  He was a loss to the game but rather that than a loss to the season.  This counts as very intelligent play.

I’d be reluctant to press James into action tomorrow, especially as it gives Gary Mackay-Steven an opportunity to revisit Firhill, where he scored 37 seconds into his Celtic debut.

    Thanks again for my ticket for Firhill tomorrow. My wee 80 year old mammy is delighted I will be yards from the hoose she was born in Maryhill tomorrow cheerin on her Bonny Bhoys. She never liked the Jags. Too much like bluenoses she told me earlier.

     

    Hail Hail

  5. What is the Stars on

    I think Motherwell have a point about Celtic and the Goalmouth Gate scandal

     

     

    Its clearly in the SPFL/SFA rules that all clubs and referees have a duty to keep Celtic players away from opposition goal nets at all costs.

     

     

    But this is a rule that Celtic have ignored for years….banging in goals for fun at grounds up and down the country.

     

    Its good for football that a small family club like Motherwell have made this brave stand

  9. Art of War on

    So UEFA send/appoint a bigot to report on a team that represents everything he hates?

     

     

    Would they send an Arab delegate to an Israeli game? Alright, pushing it a bit there. But surely since Scotland has a lot of representatives at UEFA they would be aware of any conflict of interest???? No?

  10. An Tearmann on

    Hahahahahahahaha

     

     

    Rational forte debating with a unionist

     

    Oops my fault a thick unionist.

     

    I gave you examples of how being irish meant your guilty

     

    Assimilated or not they would have been hanged if your union had hits way

     

    Not that it did.they were irish and the inculcated bias within your union presumed guilt over innocence

     

    State racism direct from westminster

     

     

    You keep believing the irish are not subjected tothe same racism generations past were in racist britain

     

     

    The same racists tapped into on brexit

     

    The same voters socialism needs for power.maybe they may assimilate and with a new improved tony your failed politics will gain power.

     

     

     

    Arguing with a unionist on its merits.

     

    I should know better

     

    Have a dram and take your tongue out from below your bottom lip:-)

    OK.

     

     

    I get that you hate the English.

     

     

    Every last one of them.

     

     

    That much is clear.

     

     

    But, nonetheless, Irish immigrants were better able to assimilate with the host community in England than in Scotland.

     

     

    I’m not sure why you can’t, or won’t, accept that.

     

     

    You could still carry on hating the English just as much.

    Neither can I.

     

     

    Probably on Sky. And they might have been Scottish rather than English.

     

     

    Don’t remember any on BT.

  16. fan-a-tic on

    I posted the other day that the SFA have consistently put their hun placement in positions at EUFA.

     

    How else would someone as conflicted as Ogilvie and as bigoted get a job contrary to EUFA’s own charter?

     

    Is it any wonder we are consistently reported and fined.

     

    Celtic should fight this charge and highlight the Northern Irishmans allegiances.

    Celtic performance was good in Manchester…..nothing more and nothing less. Let’s not get carried away,ey?

    Watched some of the game in a Pub not far from the Etihad. The Lord Nelson in Gorton. Even the Mancs needed to be asked to turn it over and watch it on the telly. It was a dead rubber,Paul…correct.

    Neganon

     

    ah now neganon you know that not to be true.As a matter of interest do you think Tony was a fascist? Fook was he even a socialist? Is Tonys fascist schizophrenia why you have taken to labelling people as fascist.

     

    It will need more than marketing to get your lot in power again

     

    Hope yir good and remember brit racism is wholly owned and ran from westminster.always has been, hence parties of all persuasion done nowt bout it…divide and rule its your unions way.

    Love Celtic as much as anyone on this ‘anointed ‘ blog. Find it kinda strange how you all meet up at times. That’s just weird lol. Some people are just desperate for friends sometimes lol.

    Tony Morley and Peter Withe will be far from happy at the current position of your team,worry about them and leave us alone.

  37. rudicantfail on

    Kenny Dalglish and Henrik are the only 2 world class players we’ve ever had. Dead Rangers have never had one.

    You don’t accept that Irish immigrants were more easily assimilated in England than in Scotland?

     

     

    Seriously?

  42. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    World class players aplenty wearing The Hoops over the years,and he can only think of two.

     

     

    Some Celtic supporter. I’ll leave y’all to it,duty calls.
