Promotion, relegation, shot in the arm

201

Swapping Livingston for Dundee United is the biggest shot in the arm for the Scottish Premiership since Motherwell’s playoff win in 2015.  St Johnstone have a one-point lead over Ross County with four to play in the fight to avoid the Premiership playoff spot.  Neither are in good form but at least County don’t have to cope with Craig Levein picking the team.

One of these two will face the winner of the Championship playoffs, either Raith Rovers, Partick Thistle or Airdrieonians.  Airdrie have never been a shining light in the world but it’s their plastic pitch that would cause most regret – the potential ban will not be in place for next season, if it comes at all.

Raith, Partick and St Johnstone each have a support base comparable to Motherwell and should be able to contribute something to the topflight.  This scenario is a lot better than two years ago, when the prospect of Arbroath missed the automatic promotion spot to the Premiership by two points.

  1. Why hello there Wednesday!

     

     

    HOT SMOKED re: boarding ships

     

     

    Life’s too short, innit?

     

     

    HH!

  2. All those opinions.

     

     

    Look how well the blog does on that 140 comments wow.

  3. No Bobby Does It Petta on

    Delighted to see DUFC back in the top flight. Our league needs our biggest clubs with the best grounds and biggest crowds to combat the undeniable Tin Pot image .

  4. EMERALDBEE \O/ A DOUBLE NINER!! re: reading articles

     

     

    There are articles on here?

     

     

    HH!

  5. Motherwell’s win was hilarious, especially the fisticuffs after it. Not that it’s likely but could d young Lawal play in any remaining game, now that his loan is over?

  6. From Previous Thread..

     

     

    Any ADVICE ?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I have been reading and listening to the TORIES plan to assault some Disabled Folk by taking away their ” PIP ” Money and maybe just giving some folk ” Vouchers etc” ?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I WAS in receipt of the DWP ” PIP” for some time due to my disabilities, however a few months ago, my ” PIP” Claim was “Transferred” to SSS ADP, who pay me every Four weeks.

     

     

     

     

    SSS ADP….is SOCIAL SECURITY SCOTLAND…ADULT DISABILITY PAYMENT, so it is the SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT that pay me every Four weeks.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Are the TORY plans to ONLY Apply to ENGLAND and WALES ….and NOT Scotland ?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Will the TORY Government plans NOT APPLY to people like me due to me being Scottish and living in Scotland etc ?

     

     

     

     

    Cheers in advance for any advice.

    “Where has the Seville money gone.

     

     

    The same malcontents who prefer to moan about Celtic were dancing a media tune back then

     

    Ignore the facts. Follow the Murray moonbeams.

     

     

    20 years later and 20 years of unparalleled success they are still dancing the media tune to show how clever they are.

     

     

    Personally I don’t get it. The evidence is there and yet so many on here think they could do so much better running the club. The issue is most of the folks come on a blog to moan and take out their frustrations.”

     

     

     

    “The issue is most of the folks come on a blog to moan and take out their frustrations”

     

     

    And that is exactly what you have done B78, moan and moan again. It must be horrible for you to sit alongside other lowly Celtic fans. Hey, but that is what a blog is for, to rant and give personal opinions.

  8. Happy Birthday to Celtic LEGEND…DANNY MACGRAIN. Danny is 74 years young today.

     

    What a Player and what a CELT !

    PAUL Please check your Emails ASAP.

     

    I sent one to you this morning, asking you to pass on my Email Address/ Phone details to ” MOISEY17″ ASAP ?

    Maybe some folk want this place to be like PRAVDA.

     

     

    No dissent will be tolerated.

  12. An opinion is an expressed view – a judgment, or, feeling, based on one’s attitudes, beliefs and perceptions. It is by definition not a statement of fact and is a fundamental tenet of free speech and should be cherished.

     

     

    Amnesty International says this – “You have the right to say what you think, share information and demand a better. You also have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions in peacefully.

     

     

    Exercising these rights without fear or unlawful interferenceis central to living in an open and fair society; one in which people can access justice and enjoy their human rights.”

     

     

    Unfortunately some on this forum would deny this, as would the law in Scotland. A law formed and enacted by a now ‘dead man walking’ first minister. Let’s hope that this pernicious law, like so many others recently approved and then dropped by Holyrood, follows him out the door.

  13. i like free speech.

     

     

    it allows me to disagree when someone posts their opinion.

     

     

    i dislike opinion dressed up as facts, or unqualified people telling me their opinion counts for something.

     

     

    like me waving the planes in at glasgow airport

    “Amnesty International says this – “You have the right to say what you think, share information and demand a better. You also have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions in peacefully.”

    If that’s what they said- Amnesty needs a sub-editor.

    Yes. And you should know! You do plenty of it…and of course you are perfectly entitled to do so.

     

    Even to the point of tedium. (empty seats anyone?)

  19. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

     

     

    The ultimate example of the pigs’ systematic abuse of logic and language to control what they believe to be those beneath them.

     

     

    I did enjoy that book.

    BIG JIMMY, in the unlikely event that the tories get re-elected, I don’t think this would apply to Scotland, as health services are devolved matters. I’m not certain, though.

    All this talk about opinions? It works both ways.

     

     

    Recently a prominent poster said VAR was ruining the game because Coventry’s late winner v Man U was disallowed for offside. He said VAR was wrong because the player was only millimeters offside — he was actually about 6 inches offside.

     

     

    I disagreed and said you can’t allow an offside goal because the player was only a little bit offside.

     

     

    The poster’s response? — “It seems you’re not allowed to have an opinion on here.”

     

     

    What he meant was — My opinions must not be challenged or disagreed with.

  23. Lol

     

     

    Everyone here (including me) when an opinion gets challenged

    Good afternoon all from the Victoria Bar. You are a fractious rabble. So there now.

    TOM MCLAUGHLIN on 1ST MAY 2024 1:13 PM

     

     

    Respectfully I think you are getting mixed up with posters.

     

     

    I mentioned that I think VAR is ruining football as a spontaneous entertainment.

     

    I believed and still do that if players are level on any part of their scoring body then the advantage should go to the attacker.

     

     

    Not worth getting sent to Coventry over it.

     

     

    HH.

     

     

    PS : As VAR deals with fractions and has been proven incorrect over 20 times in the EPL already th8s season. I wonder if the height and width of each clubs goal area would be identical ?

  26. !!Bada Bing!! on

    TOM MCLAUGHLIN – if that’s aimed at me,I said that VAR decision from that distance from goal was nonsense, and ruining the game,I have also seen a video from the opposite side of the pitch ,where there’s no way he’s offside, and yes,blogs are about opinions.

  27. BIGRAILROADBLUES re: Good afternoon all from the Victoria Bar.

     

     

    Still morning here, show some respect.

  28. Thanks all for the replies re: watching the match in the supporters bar.

     

     

    I’ll bite the bullet and just try to buy another ticket outside the ground if I can get another seat on the bus.

     

    Worst case I miss the match but get to have a few pints – which would be a first for 2024 so it’s not the worst silver lining!

    Cheers mate, I suspect that you are correct.

     

     

    HH Mate.

  31. This is no time to be rattling on about free speech and the right to express one’s own opinion. This is a time for all Celtic supporters to channel their positive energy into getting behind the team and cheering them onto victory, one game at a time from now until the end of the season. Hear no contrary views, speak no contrary views, post no contrary views!

     

     

    Come On You Bhoys In Green!

     

    Keep The Faith!

     

    You’ll Never Walk Alone!
