Penalty box possession and shots from outside the area

543
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

You thought St Mirren were a hard watch?  Livingston won three and drew three of their last six games but did not manage the majority of possession in any of those outings.  Incredibly, they beat Dundee (by four goals), Dundee United and Aberdeen with an average of 39% possession.

If they dug in against the team at the bottom of the league, they will only leave their defensive third to have a shot on goal against the league leaders on Sunday (expect them to shoot on sight).

There will be no surprises.  High crosses into the box will be successfully defended.  There will be no space in front of goal, marking will be skintight, the defensive line will be straight.  The pitch will be terrible, passing and control will be difficult – if you have a ticket, please be forgiving.

If you needed a reason to be concerned more than Celtic’s historical results against Livi, their recent form is impressive.  Livingston have collected the joint second highest points total from their last five games, just two behind Celtic.

The first objective will be to get possession inside their box.  We have the players to make any defender nervous at making a rash challenge with a penalty on the line.  Shots from the edge of the area will be important.  A ricochet did us no harm against St Mirren, against a packed defence, another is very possible.

Teams who win leagues win games like this.  Three points for Celtic here will go a long way to achieving that objective.

    Absolute agenda-driven rubbish.

     

     

    When the general sale opened on 28th February, the Ukraine FA had just announced that weekend that the game would definitely go ahead.

     

     

    The tickets sold out in 3 hours. Nobody was holding back with the thought that the game might not happen.

     

     

    Also, Ukraine have asked for a postponement rather than cancellation. This only happened this week.

     

     

    In any case, if the game doesn’t take place, tickets will be refunded.

    You might want to watch it again as your version of what was said is wide of the mark. The only mention of the Italian POWs being Catholic is by Corp Jones ‘They’re all Roman Catholics, you know. Except one and I think he was a Hebrew’ . It’s the verger (an unsympathetic character and figure of ridicule) who mentions that the nuns are Roman Catholic, and is slapped down for it by the vicar. ‘Nuns quite often are. Mr Yeatman.’

    Livingston love playing deep,from the first minute we should bombarded them with balls in the box ,from all angles high and low .

     

    They are quite happy to see us playing in front of them as they are capable of playing banks of 4&5 and hoping for free kicks and corners .

     

    Livingston play barbaric football on a crap pitch ,hit them early then they have no answer HH

    No, the Ukraine FA did not confirm that the game (on March 24) would definitely go ahead, though the more deluded elements over there, and over here it has to be said, might have stated something to that effect. Not sure where you get your information Tom, but it is not from any official sources. Last Friday all football in the Ukraine has been suspended, as in all football. You might have missed it Tom but there is a war going on in that country, you and the SFA that is. You posted earlier that you had attended a High School back in the day, judging from your more recent contributions I can only assume that they had scrapped the IQ test before you got there.

    ScullyBhoy: nothing to be ashamed of being born in england. You had no choice. Maybe your parents didn’t either.

     

     

    I know plenty of english people I’ve become friendly with and many of my relatives moved to england to live and work there.

     

     

    British government & policies: now that’s a different matter.

    Cheers mate – totally respect your point.

     

     

    As we speak, the bully is f@@@ing the innocent. The bully (real cult) do whatever want. Rule Putannia, Putamina rules the waves – what an awful history – but forget it in the name of money.

    The mentality of the dim Tim.

     

    Sky sports not to be trusted anti-Celtic etc, whinge whinge, bullied by fat ass Boyd, etc.

     

    Sky news are good really informative. Really??

     

    So why do you believe a false narrative?? you do so because you don’t know the difference when they all hold the same views, but use different words, and poor wee innocent dim Tim is taken in by it. Do you know that if Russia hadn’t defeated the Nazis in 1945 then you, none of us, would even be here, just think about that.

     

    Only RT ((Russia Today)) 234 freeview tells the public worldwide the truth that they are denied on every single other news channel, GBnews is worth a watch if you have an open mind, if don’t have a mind that’s open then why should other minds open up to what ‘you’ think?? can you imagine what it would be like if we all thought like that?? RT allows both sides of every topic to debate each other, how are you supposed to know what other people think if your not allowed to hear what they have to say?? like 2+ years of British & all western news channels have done during cov19?? this week RT was pulled from UK public’s TV’s because they allow people from Ukraine and Russia to discuss ‘real’ events, and when the people, citizens on the ground called out the hysteria in all of the…

     

    EU news channels, and USA channels, the message wasn’t received too well in, EU, USA, UK, CAN, etc, etc, RT presented ‘naked’ facts and western hysterical lies and propaganda were exposed, even, Aljazeera, lying to its viewers, so RT was pulled, and yet Celtic supporters, or, dim Tims, who’ve replaced the best fans in the world, think that those news stations who are hiding the naked truths, are the go to news sources, and that is dim Timmery right there. 👈

     

    BBC??

     

    ITV??

     

    Ch4News??

     

    Ch5News??

     

    STVnews??

     

    BBC Scotland news??

     

    The discerning Tim says 👆 “they’re all the same.”

     

    The dim Tim thinks its just the sports section that lies etc ffs

     

    There’s a lot of work to be done in Timdom, an awful lot of work.

     

    Maybe its too late??

     

    If Timdom financially backs££££ a PLC board of corruption then spends the rest of its time trying to spin away the guilt of oldfirm consequences of that backing££££∆33° then Timdom is already beyond saving, sadly.

    I was astonished by the amount of Biblical centres, not far frae Belfast City Centre.

     

     

    Me and Garry walked along a street that we probably shouldnae have with me being a roaster wearing the Green t-shirt.
