Keep an eye on Pittodrie

St Johnstone have gone five games without a goal – and that includes a home game against Hamilton. They remain in the League Cup, but if they beat Hibs next week, will remarkably have reached the final after only facing lower league opposition. Their only Scottish Cup game against top-flight opponents ended in defeat.

What they can do is defend better than Hamilton, or several others in the league. They kept Celtic to three last month (which these days is an achievement), before keeping a clean sheet against Hearts. Only Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts and Partick have conceded fewer.

Tomorrow’s game is one Celtic will be confident of winning, but chances will not be as easy coming as they were on Tuesday night.

I get it.  The SFA have guidance which suggests New Douglas Park, one of the smallest grounds in Lanarkshire, should be the venue for our Scottish Cup game against East Kilbride. With 6,000 seats it is less than half the size of Fir Park, which is less than 3 miles away.  Moving the game to Fir Park would generate a significant amount of much needed money for grassroots football in Scotland.

Think about that……. generate money for grassroots football in Scotland.  Do the decent this and move this game to Motherwell.  If you want to register for a ticket, do so here.

The more who register, the more reason the SFA have to agree to Fir Park as the venue.

Keep an eye on the game at Pittodrie tonight. I watched 10-man Aberdeen come from behind away to Ross County last week, they were very impressive, but our nearest challengers have developed a blind spot against Dundee.

Three points and a clean sheet tomorrow, please, Celtic.

    If you aren’t going to the games due to your strongly held views on the way the club is run then I think you are making a mistake.

     

     

    Life is too short.

     

     

    You are, we are Celtic. Those running the club are doing their best I suppose but agree or disagree with them all you little like but it doesn’t make them Celtic.

     

     

    We have big challenges ahead – and it will be us (Celtic) – that wil make the difference.

     

     

    Incidentally I spoke to Paul this morning re the attack on you last night and he took action to defend you. Bet you never saw that coming.

     

     

    Have a wee rethink and come to the CQN corner tomorrow. Team’s a joy to watch at the moment.

    There is a spare season ticket going tomorrow. It belongs to a fellow Drumchapel bhoy. You are welcome to it. I know you are dying to support your team again. ;)

    Day off from the Roasters, hopefully see you in the Kerrydale, be there from 12.

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

    Roy, great picture of Paul scoring at Pittodrie

     

    We enjoyed him playing for us for next 15 years

     

     

     

    How marvellous would it have been for him to play in stop the ten team with Henrik.

  11. WC cheers for the response. Despite all my disagreements with Paul I don’t envy him in tackling so,e of the blogs issues.

     

     

    I can’t in all consciousness go back (I’ve been going to Celtic games for about 38 years). The corruption is too much for me.

     

     

    I hope we find an answer but the signs are not good.

  12. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Roy, that must have been some experience being on the same pitch as George

     

    Was it Sauchie Juniors he played for?

     

     

    That wee wummin wi the bear was standing in front of us at s game. Big Shuggie was playing and kept on shouting, you the big Icelander huv to play better

  13. Dallas Dallas

     

     

    It was Sauchie or Tulliallan…Scottish cup tie v Baillieston. I was a very young player and too much in awe of the legend. Had a pint with him though…

    as you know I agree 100% with all your posts. They are simply the truth in my opinion. Spot on. Bang on. Everytime. I have not supported Celtic financially any more for 3 years. However, in my opinion , if you have an ST, you should attend whenever logistically possible before the end of the season. I cannot because I live in America but there are many things I do by proxy. :) Next season is an OF season so best enjoy whatever remnants you can. Historically speaking.

     

    I hold you in high regard. All the best.

  15. Great to see everyone in good form.

     

     

    Thanks Lennybhoy. I’ve sent an email re Dublin as requested. I hope you meet up with Almore tomorrow.

    Re the Leeds United top in Drogheda during your visit here 20 years ago. Gary Kelly and Ian Harte are from the town, there would have been a big following here at the time.
