Perspective, please!

110

With post-split fixtures confirmed there is clarity on what is needed to win the league and a bit more optimism in some places.  Celtic play a day before Newco on each of the next three league fixtures (one before the split).  That is not an advantage until you win the games, but if you do, pressure is added to those who follow.

The order of Celtic’s games is interesting.  The final three look most difficult [Newco (H), Motherwell (A), Hearts (H)], but there are five weeks before the first of those fixtures.  That gives us time to build fitness into the legs of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kelechi Iheanachio, Arne Engels, Callum Osmand and Julian Araujo.  If we arrive at these games with as fit a squad as we have had all season, you would fancy Celtic to win all three.

It is some consolation we do not have Fir Park on the last day, I’m not sure any of our nerves would cope with that.  Instead, it will be Hearts, who will not roll over, but we need to beat them at some point.  Ignore nonsense about Hearts having a free shot if Celtic are out of it by then, this will not happen.  As I have been saying for months, the league title will stay in Glasgow.

The fixtures give a sense of relief because we have just come through a seven game run where six were away from home.  Five wins, a draw at Ibrox and a solitary defeat at Tannadice does not suggest Celtic are teetering on the brink, no matter what your most doom-ladened pal tells you.  That series could have finished our league challenge and seen us out of the cup.  Instead, we are within striking distance of the top of the table and in the semifinal.  Perspective, please!

    GB statement looks very clumsy to me…..

     

    |

     

    GB should have said we are not toys that you can throw back into the toy box when you don’t need us.

  2. The Green Brigade are just virtue signalers.

     

    Will they ever practice what they preach like promoting and voting for ANTI NATO, ANTI LOBBY Politicians and ensuring that there won’t be any refugees having to flee needless evil Bankers wars started by ZOG parliaments?

     

    Refugees who assault innocent people on Ireland’s streets was not what the Wolfetones had in mind when they sang “Give Me Your Hand” back in the old romantic days of Ireland!

     

    This would not be a thing…

    …if people got real and stopped virtue signaling!

    Empty parliaments that are full of Lobby controlled creeps or you are just a virtue signaler.

     

    Sad are the homes….

    The GB statement?

     

     

    A week ago I was reminded by a colleague of an observation made about him decades ago by a wise soul.

     

     

    “The trouble with you is you don’t know when your winning”

     

     

    It’s a trade off … in the wider interest.

     

     

    Bring us your decibels .. starting Saturday.

  5. lets all do the huddle on

    some of the football being played in this Braga – Betis game has been brilliant.

     

     

    loads of quick passing, tricks and flicks that you would expect from southern european teams.

     

     

    great to watch.

  6. There is a post on FF,I kid you not,going back to 2016,until present,listing every ,in the posters deranged head,unfair,cheating,decision,that has gone for us,and went against them.

     

    10 whole seasons,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Now that is whats called in the medical world” Fekin Paranoia”

     

     

    Other clowns posting,” Incredible research mate”,and worse.Forever calling us obsessed,😂😂

  8. BSR@ 12.16….good points re GB and PL.

     

    Just to add it was Peter Lawwell that gave the GB their place in the standing section.

     

    He also gave them a place in CP to store their drums etc during the week.

     

    He also allowed them space and time inside CP to make their tifos.

     

    I also know for a fact that PL and the leader(s?) of the GB were in constant (off the record contact).

    Six rounds to play.

     

     

    We have 4 matches at home and 2 away, one against the side 3rd from bottom.

     

     

    Hearts have 3 at home and 3 away, all against top 6 teams.

     

     

    R2ngers have 4 away and 2 at home, all against top six teams.

     

     

    Both Hearts and R2ngers must play us at Celtic Park.

     

     

    We’re 3 points behind Hearts and 2 points behind R2ngers.

     

     

    They play each other at Tynecastle when one or both will drop points, before we play each of them at Celtic Park.

     

     

    Everything is in play and the odds look favourable.

     

     

    Go get it, Celtic.

  10. Always remember that the huns have been awarded 12 (TWELVE!) goals this season in play that have been proven to be wrong and ruled out by VAR.

     

    So whilst the refs can’t cheat like this atm….they can still fo their hun duty when it comes to bookings, corners etc as we have seen in abundance this season.

     

    That’s what we have to worry about in the run in.

    Take it or leave it, but it’s always good to know thy enemy.

     

     

    Supposedly Hertz have a better record against the top six this season than the bottom four because they’re better without the ball.

     

     

    Also according to these guys, there’s only been one weekend so far this season when “the top three” have not dropped points.

  13. The build up and atmosphere created by fans group and the rest of the stadium has been absolutely brilliant 👏 👌

    Yes it was.

     

     

    Interestingly they didn’t disrupt their team or game by chucking stuff on to the pitch and as far as my basic French takes me, I don’t think they’re screaming for anyone to GTF.

  16. Maolmuire O Muirgheasa on

    Despot capitulates to the very group he attempted to ostracize, and the thanks he gets for playing his weak hand is being biatch-slapped publicly in the national press.

     

     

    His weakness has been noted, i am sure.

  17. The last man penalty against Barca.Both players running for the ball,no pushing,pulling,the ball goes a bit behind the Atletico player,he tries to backheel it over his head,but backheels the Barca player.Never a foul.Barca player not involved in anything untoward.VAR,Red Card,free kick,from which they score.

  18. ADVERTISEMENT
  19. Watching both games,Barca slightly better.PSG,always give me the impression,wrongly,I know,they are so good in possession,they get a bit bored with it.

  20. 2-0 PSG

     

    Kvarastskelai, took on 4-5 Pool players, inc the keeper who he went round all from a lhs move which he started. Absolutely brilliant, after a long period of possession. by PSG.

  21. ADVERTISEMENT
  22. That Koke of Atletico.Seems to have been there forever.So long,he might have booted hell out of Jinky in1974 !!!!!!!!.🙄

  23. It was Penalty,he caught the PSG player with his thigh,knocking him sideways.

     

    Those two,Fletcher and Mc Coist,a pair of irritating FUDS.

  24. Welcome news that the GB are going to be back in from Saturday. Props to BW for doing whatever he did to convince the board to get this done, and at the same time noting conditions that the GB are largely just being asked to observe the same requirements as applies to all other fans in the stadium.

     

    As for the GB statement – not a surprise, and probably no more than the board expected either.

     

    Hopefully all parties get it sorted at the end of the season.

    PSG 2-0….worthy winners.Better side in every department,could have been 5.I’m happy.

  27. Gedinte,

     

    You are joking ?Wilson sat at his interview and told a pack of lies to the whole support.

     

    Sleekit,trying to look the reasonable guy,whilst lying through his teeth.

     

    Not unusual for a politician.
