Patience, flag and Siri

458

Nervous? Oh yes. Any one of a number of things can go wrong, up to and including a red card while conceding a penalty. Celtic will need to score three without reply before any of us relax tonight. It’s the kind of challenge which should be completed within 15 minutes but Brendan Rodgers is right to call for patience. Any rush to get the job done could produce fatal consequences.

18 years ago this week, in front of a packed and newly completed Celtic Park, Larsson, Lambert, Boyd, Rieper, Burley and co. faced an equally unfancied St Patrick’s Athletic but couldn’t put the ball in the net. And they guys knew a thing or two about playing the game. Football isn’t played on paper, sometimes you need reservoirs of patience to invest in this sport.

Remember to get along early to see the league title flag unfurled before kick-off. I know we’ve seen 11 of these events since 2001 but we should never take it for granted.

…………….and the game is on your season ticket.

Best wishes to Tony Watt, if he joins Hearts, and to Massimo Donati, who’s pitching his tent at Hamilton Accies this season. Both created great Champions League memories for us.

I know the Uefa response to Res 12 hasn’t been generally released but did Siri and Skybet get a copy as well as the SFA?

  1. Interesting.

     

     

    3 at the back, like a lot. But Willis curb Tierney’s forward runs?

     

    2 wingers. Great.

     

    No Brown / Bitton combination. Excellent.

     

    2 up front. Magic

     

     

    Would have liked to see a playmaker in there; Rogic, Christie or Allen. To break down packed defence.

  2. It’s on Eir2 in Ireland. Selection appears the finish of Efe, not even on bench.

     

    A very attack minded side, we should win easily so why am I so bloody nervous.

    Kev….

     

     

    Try the old but trusty smack….but no hard enough to shake the coathanger oot the magic hole ….like in times of old

  4. Looking at the squad, I do not see any way back for Ambrose or Bitton – don’t expect either to figure again.

     

     

    I cannot begin to predict what will happen with any confidence this evening – but I’m here, so there’s no hiding place HAIL HAIL HAIL(one for luck) – no more posts until/unless we are 3-0 up.

  5. Corkcelt…………Eir2 formerly Setanta, Bt etc is no longer on the Virgin Media platform. Will watch Dundalk in Iceland. Come on the Hoops.

    Wonderful……so the fall guy is ……..

     

     

    How wee white and expected is that …..we are no better than our last smile…

     

     

    Good night and hoopy what ever ….what a feckiing joke….

    Malones.

  12. My hope is that either Erik or Tierney are asked to compete against the lone striker. Attack everything and be strong.

  14. Roberts to be the Man for me tonight. Just watch him force fouls in key places. I think the set piece will be the solution to the problem tonight…….

  16. Sitting here with beer in hand on a humid Costa evening wishing I was taking my seat in the North stand. Feeling a bit nervous as usual before a game, even worse not being there and at least able to offer my vocal support to the team, oh and advice to the Ref et al ;) C’mon the Celtic, let’s do this!!

    You could try installing Easy Advanced Settings addon – which will let you increase your buffer & cache memory settings – there are easy to follow instructions on youtube
