With big Odsonne coming on yesterday and being as cool as a concombre, is there something to be said for having the right balance between players who “know what the match means” and players who treat it like it’s just another match?
I think I’ve answered my own question…
Hamiltontim on
March 1981
Thursday 12th
Fr Toner was in tonight, and brought me in some religious magazines.
My weight is 58.75 kgs. They did not take a blood sample because they want to incorporate other tests with it. So the doctor says they’ll do it next week.
Physically I have felt very tired today, between dinner time and later afternoon. I know I’m getting physically weaker. It is only to be expected. But I’m okay. I’m still getting the papers all right, but there’s nothing heartening in them. But again I expect that also and therefore I must depend entirely upon my own heart and resolve, which I will do.
I received three notes from the comrades in Armagh, God bless them again.
I heard of today’s announcement that Frank Hughes will be joining me on hunger-strike on Sunday. I have the greatest respect, admiration and confidence in Frank and I know that I am not alone. How could I ever be with comrades like those around me, in Armagh and outside.
I’ve been thinking of the comrades in Portlaoise, the visiting facilities there are inhuman. No doubt that hell-hole will also eventually explode in due time. I hope not, but Haughey’s compassion for the prisoners down there is no different from that of the Brits towards prisoners in the North and in English gaols.
I have come to understand, and with each passing day I understand increasingly more and in the most sad way, that awful fate and torture endured to the very bitter end by Frank Stagg and Michael Gaughan. Perhaps, — indeed yes! — I am more fortunate because those poor comrades were without comrades or a friendly face. They had not even the final consolation of dying in their own land. Irishmen alone and at the unmerciful ugly hands of a vindictive heartless enemy. Dear God, but I am so lucky in comparison.
I have poems in my mind, mediocre no doubt, poems of hunger strike and MacSwiney, and everything that this hunger-strike has stirred up in my heart and in my mind, but the weariness is slowly creeping in, and my heart is willing but my body wants to be lazy, so I have decided to mass all my energy and thoughts into consolidating my resistance.
That is most important. Nothing else seems to matter except that lingering constant reminding thought, ‘Never give up’. No matter how bad, how black, how painful, how heart-breaking, ‘Never give up’, ‘Never despair’, ‘Never lose hope’. Let them bastards laugh at you all they want, let them grin and jibe, allow them to persist in their humiliation, brutality, deprivations, vindictiveness, petty harassments, let them laugh now, because all of that is no longer important or worth a response.
I am making my last response to the whole vicious inhuman atrocity they call H-Block. But, unlike their laughs and jibes, our laughter will be the joy of victory and the joy of the people, our revenge will be the liberation of all and the final defeat of the oppressors of our aged nation.
I thought Ajer was also cool as a cucumber yesterday. How’s yer Norwegian,ya show-aff(!)

I was thinking similar yesterday – specifically about the 3 Musketeers, but as BMCUW points out, this applies to all of our foreign legion.
BTW – Riddle me this – how come the 3 Musketeers never had guns, just swords?

Always like your ratings after a game :))))))
Yesterday was for celebration, today we can analyse.
I would agree with your 5/10 for BR. It was a mistake to play Boyata and it was a mistake to persevere with him.
It could have been so different if Morelos had scored his easy chance and today we would be looking for escaped goats.
Our tactics changed for the better after the ordering off. We could argue that this was a forced change and was not a planned change.
We got lucky with the assured performance of the untried Bain, he was outstanding and showed he has the mental attributes to play for Celtic and manage the unique expectations. Previously more reputational keepers have crumbled in similar circumstances.
I have said from day one on here, that a lucky manager is far better than just a good one. We are extremely fortunate to have a manager who is both good and lucky.
Your explanation of the Simunovic rating is the funniest thing you have written- I am still in tears.
Heading for Larkhall this morning- I will stop at every house that is flying the Butcher’s Apron and just look happy. Could be late for my appointment, mind.

My one regret today : I never ever managed to see Ken Dodd live.

Just dropped the car off with the boys at Caledonian motors in Govan and walked back to the flat. On the way back I passed the louping Louden Tavern. A march was it from there to Ayebrokes? Mare like a feckin hop, skip and a jump! Oh how I laughed – again. :-))))
Any news on the Scotty Sinclair fracas at Glasgow airport please.
Hope Brendan is knocking on Peter’s door to get him to buy Odsonne.
The most pleasing aspect by far from yesterday is to see their disappointment after all the hype and how good they were bla de bla de bla. Love it

THE French word mousquetaire originally referred to an infantryman with a musket. Over time, the word changed its meaning, lost the connection with the weapon, and referred to a much grander person. A mousquetaire was a gentleman in one of the two companies of the royal household cavalry in pre-revolutionary France. The companies were distinguished by the colour of the horses they rode – either grey or black. Thus there were mousquetaires gris and mousquetaires noirs. Cavalry have no use for clumsy muskets, which are difficult to reload at the best of times. The problem we have is an over-literal translation of the French which loses the context.
From an ancient Guardian article,apparently.
San Luis on
Just read through the match thread- makes for good reading as I sit here in a slightly hungover but elated state in work – nothing a few cuppas won’t sort out.
Took us a while to get going yesterday, defensively especially, but when the midfield clicked it was a truly wonderful sight. The red card was a red but you just know it wouldn’t have been given to our opponents and in terms of what they got away with prior and after it, then the decision stinks.
However, justice was delivered promptly and sweetly. Surely we will sign OE…surely??

So yesterday the Sevco players demonstrated that they don’t deal as well as they could with pressure and a [dubious] favourites tag. So, instead of toning down the pressure on their team ahead of the Semi-Final, their fans have now decided that the Semi is a “must-win” game for Murty.
