If you were a professional football player, you would love to be in the Celtic dressing room tomorrow evening. You would have the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself; put in a big, meaningful performance. Record a bit of history and create a uniquely memorable victory.
There are some players who are fraught with anxiety on such occasions, but there are others who NEED these games, need an edge, to reach their peak. If we have a team full of the latter, Legia are in for a torrid night.
I’m doing my best to ignore the naked opportunism in our media this week. There is no point complaining about it, lose heavily and you become vulnerable to those who live to revel in a Celtic defeat. Don’t lose and you don’t give them (friends and foes alike) a chance.
We’ve been here before. Artmedia, Braga, Utrecht, Sion (despite the reprieve) and Karagandy all exposed an aching heart. European football is unforgiving, try to transition and you’ll find someone ready to exploit, but that doesn’t mean you are wrong to transition.
We might talk about this transition more later in the month but we have a game to win first. Can’t wait.
Check out the fantastic work by the cyclists who are taking part in the Paradise to Cardenden Cycle 2014 on 6 September. You can join them – all you need is a bike. Get involved, you’ll be delighted you did, I promise. Read about it here.

CK- Salmond, he’s the guy holding the ball,a wee policy or 2 would be nice HH
PF AYR
Hmmm,collar and cuffs job?
Rinse ..even
Vespa and Salmond sitting in a tree
Forget any Horsey tips this season Bhoys get yer dosh on the specsaver members of the craft getting Sevcos opposition red carded on a regular basis after all the agenda against the peepul needs addressed ;(
Hail Hail min the hoops and the superfast reekie trams ooofffttt !
Tom
Sorry. I was joking because of the offender`s name. I didn`t think it was a red but I agree with you that Handling`s lack of protest supports your view . I still don`t think a Sevcoite would have received a straight red.

Pity bro, picking up Petec and his son, and Gordybhoy64’s nephew(if G64 replies) :)
The eternal optimist in me says 3-0.
Will give them a shout fae you! :)
Anyone surprised at the red card?
Think I’ll bet it every hun game this season.
Why is Wallace doing the “Broonie”?
Huns dived twice in the same move there ..
Wow! Why did they not get a pen. for that?
HH
ok this world cup thingy is it extra time or replay or penalties.or awarded to sevco for having the best lookin fans.
!!Bada Bing!!

I’m viewing as an interested neutral – nothing more
Much as I’m fearful in the uncertainty that Independence will bring. The certainty that will be visited on us by another Tory administration scares me witless.
Blah Blah Blah. Aye.
Hail Hail.

It is a better bet than most of our horsey efforts
Never a free kick.
Ref all over it now..
FK on 18 yard line. next best thing. Watch for a hand-ball!
HH
It would appear that Mr Beatons sending off of a Hibs player has not had an intrinsic effect on the game.
Must only be a matter of time before Hibs are reduced to nine men. . .
My goodness, if the SNP economic policy is half baked, what’s the UKs?
An economic powerhouse?
What does sterling buy you on the world stage? I’d love to know.
Is that the best they’ve got? Pass-back from Boyd to Hibs ‘keeper!

Nick Clegg for Prime Minister is a better bet than most of our horsey efforts!
New NAPS compy soon,obviously saving the goodies for that….
DD,
alright mucker.didnt know you were taking Brad to the game,
haven’t spoken to him lately
JJ –
Yes I’d have to agree. A Sevconian would not have seen red for that.

Ooops:-)
Who’s the Hibs duffer, clear the decking thing before you go down injured FFS..
Hibs will be in that league for more than a year
Starry
Just said that to my son
CK- channel hopping here mate
The John Beaton appointment is a stake in the ground that the Refereeing Authority will do what they want irrespective how blatant it is.
How else would Beaton be appointed after the Albion Rovers debacle.
Officials with allegiance to teams should not be considered.
Fed up wring to this guy,but he will get another A.M.

Salmonds contribution into banking and deregulation pales into insignifigance compared to Darling.

Doc
Not at all it’s a blog after all :-)
My point though is that ultimately the YES campaign are claiming that this plethora of diverse issues will be dealt with in an independent Scotland which is only achieveable by voting YES.
I think we could end up playing semantics here though Doc as we’re merely looking at the same thing from different angles.
————————————
That is my point, at least in part, this is a multi faceted issue, and needs to be looked at from all angles.
There may be one decision to come to, Yes or No.
Anyhoos, sorry for the tardy reply, was persuaded to hit the shops.
(You know how that goes!)
Uncle, pens if still drawing after 120
Initially, the referee`s bias for freekicks etc annoyed me but, as I watched, I began to smile as I realised that even against one of the poorest Hibs` teams in their history ( although they are playing OK tonight) , the ref STILL has to help his team. Sevco are not quite as bad as some on here claim but they are a poor outfit.
JJ
Still think we can turn it round tomorrow, but regardless at least I don’t have to watch this rubbish every week. Sevco will win nothing agaist fultime teams with 11 men
G64
I thought he needed transport. Sorry if I picked you up wrong. :)
Pfayr – you prefer the super duper full on economic policies of Westminster that have served all of us so well?
I have no vote but I don’t buy the economic arguments of the no camp either.
