Respect deserved

892

We’ve seen a few difficult games against Hamilton Accies in recent years, including what proved to be a costly draw after being denied a late winner at New Douglas Park, but we’ve never met them in this form.

Hamilton have the longest unbeaten run in Scotland.  They lost their opening league game of the season, at home to Inverness, but have won seven and drawn two of their subsequent nine games.  Their 0-4 win away to Motherwell last week was a display of sharp, organised football – and remember, Motherwell took at point at Celtic Park the previous weekend.

Alex Neil will have no intentions of leaving pointless tomorrow.  This is the game he and his players will have been waiting for since the fixtures were announced four months ago.  Their four SPLF away games: wins at St Mirren, Partick and Motherwell, and a draw at Tannadice, has been preparation for Celtic Park.

If Celtic have a Europa League hangover, Accies will boss them.  Forget the lowly status of the club, respect is needed if we are the get the desired result and performance required.

I’m running the Great Scottish Run in aid of Celtic Foundation tomorrow morning, which presents a, erm, personal hygiene challenge for the game.  It’ll be a full can of deodorant day.  If you have a £1 or two for the fundraising, you can help here.

    To all those who say that the over 55s cost the referendum vote, can I repeat something that my grandma (RIP) said in the early 70s when they brought in decimalisation “why didn’t they wait till us old folk died off before they brought this in”.

    Hi Saint Stivs

     

     

    ta,

     

     

    hugely interesting.

     

     

    you kept it lit.

    And looking through the blog got me thinking

     

     

    Did any of you actually have a social life or any sort of social interaction before CQN came along

     

     

    As for the brave wee volunteers having a go at any opinion that differs from their own……would you be brave enough to challenge anyone’s opinion outwith the anonymity that is afforded to you posting your wee snide remarks that you post on here ????

    I used to talk a lot more in the house before I got addicted to CQN.

     

     

    And I think my eyes are decked in cos of it!

     

     

    And I never say anything on here that I wouldn’t say to someone’s face.

     

     

    So in your case I’ll say, I see what you write in here and you always strike me as being one of life’s good ghuys.

     

     

    So, good night. God bless. And let me by you a pint when we meet in person.

    Memories, I was the first to pay my dinner money at school when decimilation came in.

     

     

    My claim to fame…it wasn’t until i was older that I found out I could have got free school dinners…my ma was too proud to let anyone know we were struggling….changed days!

    We’ve seen it all before and unfortunately I think we’ll be subjected to it a lot more. What we dont seem to realise is the indignation shown by that lot is real, its a mentality thing. For some reason we expect them to have even a modicum of common sense. Not happening. Same old bigoted shite, get to where they want to be and it doesnt matter how they do it. Aided and abetted by all.
