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.

    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.

    Anybody who thinks this tribute act will disappear is kidding themselves on.

     

    They are a refereeing performance away from being in the League Cup semi final.

    Very well done to Michelle on climbing Croagh Patrick. She has the delights of Westport to enjoy as a reward. Fantastic place and great people. I’ve never gone past the statue myself, too much guiness to drink :))

    Hahahaha.

     

    Think I might have managed the climb pal,

     

    Getting me oot of the nearest establishment after the descent might have been a different matter though..

    just reading back, think the game youre talking about was a 1-3 defeat to them when a certain J P Gordon was officiating. We had two stonewall penalties turned down and they scored on the break while we were complaining to the mason in the black. McDonald saved one on the line with both hands and I think it was Joe Craig who was pushed when about to score for the other one (might be wrong with Joe Craig, memories not that good these days)

     

    Worst (and most blatant)ref performance Ive ever witnessed

  10. Just viewed some of the loyalists / unionist youtube postings on here tonight… That’s what you voted NO for Scotland.. 25 billion pounds in cuts, 2 year freeze on benefits.. the abolition of the human rights act.. further military action in the middle east.. Who gives a shit!!. I voted YES.. I’m only interested in the value of my second home. Couldn’t give a monkey’s about the unionist/loyalists. Serves he right.. rot in bell, union flag wavers.

    That was a very well put together argument by that young loyalist re the flag situation. Do they actually go to school ?

    What have the rantings of clowns in the North got to do with the vote in Scotland?

    Isn’t it funny that in British society you can come up with a way of killing people in a quick and a efficient way and for doing so you will be rewarded with a pension/knighthood

     

    There are many ways to sepertate a head from it’s body none of which are very nice

     

    Just ask the Israelis

    Wonder why theyve been hell bent on getting rid of Catholic schools recently ?

  17. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    I am pretty certain that pupils from Catholic schools in Scotland perform better than those from non-denominational schools.

     

    I stand corrected.HT or somebody else will confirm/deny.

     

     

    One thing for sure,in the Six Counties we leave them in our wake..

  18. twentyfirstofmaynineteenseventynine on

    Think youre 100% correct TR, its my understanding that Catholic schools have performed better here, I could be wrong but have noticed a lot of publicity over the last few years regarding this, for some reason they want to abolish Catholic schools. WHY ?

    Is that big Billy against Vodjvodina ?.

     

    ….

     

    I remember that goal as if it was yesterday..

  20. 21stMay1979…..

     

     

    This is the incident you refer to…

     

     

    I was there and still get annoyed thinking about it ……Absolute blatant cheating ….All the Celtic players stopped as it was a stonewall penalty….Greig ran up the park virtually unchallenged to score..
