Need to find edge to match United

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Dundee United and Celtic will both have their minds on longer term outcomes than tomorrow’s Premiership game at Tannadice.  For Neil Lennon, it will surely be another opportunity to expose some of his development players to the rigors of first team action.  For Jackie McNamara this is a test before arguably their biggest game of the season, next week’s Scottish Cup semi-final.

United are six points off the pace in the neck-and-neck battle between Aberdeen and Motherwell in re Best of the Rest race but face both these teams at home before the end of the season.  United’s potentially bigger challenge are the home and away games against the champions.  Only the top three are guaranteed European football, so the potential of European revenue, added to the prize more differential (circa £100k per place) will sharpen minds.

For Celtic, the challenge will be to find the edge their opponents will have for tomorrow.  I’d look to Liam Henderson, and maybe a couple of his former development squad team mates for this.

We’re well accustomed the nationalist and xenophobic excesses of the UK media but Germany appears shocked at the two biggest selling UK dailies use of the word “schwein” to describe Bastian Schweinsteiger.  Anyone who grew up during the decades when war movies dominated our TVs will know the racial context loaded onto this particular term, as it was used in Germany in the 30s and 40s.

Bayern’s ban on the Mirror and Sun is an appropriate rebuff, safe in the knowledge that no Bayern fans will continue to consume news about their club from either newspaper.

    That’s so sad and beautiful.

     

     

    It reminds me of my cousin Anne. On the day we had to go to Manchester to play Rapid Vienna, I went to her husband’ s funeral. She had to come out of hospital for the funeral as she had a breast removed due to cancer at the same time.

     

     

    A few years later, through her daily mass attendance, she met another man and they started to go out together. He had never been married even though he was an older man. For years they enjoyed each other’s company but never became a couple.

     

     

    However the cancer came back in different ways and her last act before she died was to have a deathbed marriage to show him that she would have been proud to have been his wife.

     

     

    May God reward you Anne for what you suffered in this life.
