Sky line up Celtic’s title party

374

Sky announced three consecutive Celtic games will be broadcast live across March and April, one of which is almost certain to be a league-winning occasion. Although Aberdeen could go second by a point if they win their game in hand over Newco, I’m not convinced they have the staying power. McInnes has struggled to replicate the form of last season, perhaps as a consequence of so many of his first team squad out of contract in the summer and looking around for deals.

The first Sky game on the schedule released this morning is the visit of Newco to Celtic Park on Sunday 12 March. Newco have 10 games after this, so should Aberdeen’s challenge drop off, Celtic’s lead would need to be 28 points heading into that game to setup a title decider (loose sense of the word).

We currently have a 19 point lead with a game in hand (against St Johnstone later this month). Win all seven of our league games before 12 March, and we would need Newco to drop six points to allow two Glasgow teams to come together to celebrate the champions on what would be a memorable day for everyone in the city.

Newco have visits to Motherwell, Hearts, Dundee and Inverness before then, as well as home games against Ross County, Hamilton and St Johnstone. Earlier this season they won at Dundee and Inverness, lost at Hearts and drew each of their homes games against Ross County, Hamilton and St Johnstone. They have yet to visit Fir Park on league duty this season.

Although they capitulated last time out against Celtic, Newco played better in December than earlier in the season, so there’s a chance they’ll pick up more at home to Accies, Inverness and County. Their cup and league double-header against Motherwell this month will either take some pressure off, or set them up for a Celtic Park party.

If we don’t win the title that day the roadshow rolls onto Dens Park and then Tynecastle. Newco play a day before us on both occasions, so there’s a chance the title will be won/lost at Ibrox before Celtic play.

    Petec,

     

     

     

     

    Bobby Sands was a socialist in the mould of Che The murderer, not in the mould of Pinochet the holy Christian or Knox the born again Christain but someone who wanted his people to be free to make their own minds up about religion. He hoped preferably they would spurn religion but not be afraid to confront, challenge and condemn zealots that demanded adherence to unhealthy compliance.

    Wow.

     

     

    The Elusive Barn Owl was a biggie for me and my Dad (who goes to Mass Every Sunday) personally.

     

     

    Cool it.

     

     

    I can’t stand any Man made constructs politically tbh.

     

     

    Up soon, so I will bid ye Good Night.

    It’s spot the difference Time..

    ‘Barcelona’s ability to offer Lionel Messi an improved contract will rest on their capacity to raise revenue from sponsorship deals and player sales, chief executive Oscar Grau says.’

    Celtic’s ability to offer Moussa Dembelle an improved contract will rest on their capacity to raise revenue from joint sponsorship deals and player sales, chief executive Peter Lawwell says.

    Mags..,

     

    Was banned for uttering the Tims in Scotland are considered the N word. The funny bit was, few actually got past the N word before they complained. The outrage at using the word overtook any relevant argument. I remember it clearly, like yesterday, previous.y respected posters sunk into the pathetic armada, the use of that word caused more hysteria than the context and the word became more important than the context, the smug fundamental orifices took offence. Now I used to think my elders were being offensive and uncaring, I no longer accept that, freedom of speech has consequences then as now, hatred is not always the motive for free speech, sometime making a point needs to shock but not in here, the cocoon that is CQN has been killing free speech since 2012.

    Petec,

     

    Stop talking shite, read yer bible and don’t stop reading yer bible. If I and anyone else in the world wants to read your bible, I can. I don’t need you to tell me I’m a sinner, I don’t need the masons or any church to tell me to read the bible.

     

    Here’s the best bit, I can believe in the Christ and practice my beliefs any way I want and be pure even if I don’t adhere to you or any structured churches doctrine, two rules, yep it’s this easy

     

    Don’t impose your power

     

    Don’t be a victim

     

    So sling yer hook devil, yer fear is derived from evil.

  6. The hand of God on

    I actually thought that the win break was a good idea but after returning from work and reading back on tonight’s offerings I have changed my mind.Celtic please come home.

  7. The hand of God on

    Watched Southampton destroy Liverpool 1-0 .Big Virgil found it too easy in Scotland and got a bit bored well he was so bored tonight he ended up playing as a right winger.

    Handy..,

     

    If Lenny was allowed the same respect the board are giviing the current manager does anyone here think the team would have been struggling to compete in Europe ?

     

    I’ll say it again, like I said it before, Lenny brought in more competition money than Lawwell made sponsorships and had he been allowed to build a team we would have scunnered Scotland 3 years ago and have the spine of a team that would have scunnered Scotlamd for the next twenty years.

     

    But that’s just experience talking. Lucky the “rangers” came up when they did I eh or our club would be in the Pitts eh.

     

    Couldn’t have Lenny filling empty seats before the projected plan. Who’d have expected a mad Tim crew to surpass all expectation, only me ?

    Typical Leftist narrative from the resident Progressives and pseudo intellectuals.

     

     

    The true face of Liberalism.

     

     

    Don’t know about being “down with the cause” – down in the sewers is where it belongs.

     

     

    The party is over anyway.

     

     

    Away to watch Colin Flaherty’s latest report on YouTube.

    Typical of neo-liberals, or fascists as they used to get called.

     

    war is profitable, and copulate people, the only thing that gets in the road of profit is “typical leftists” and their aspirations of equal rights and justice.

     

    Down pressorman, where you going to run to ?

  11. 16 roads - Celtic über alles... on

    No call for the crude and vulgar language Canamalar.

     

     

    Ya buck eejit ye.

    See that Meryl Streep thing slamming President Trump,accusing him of being a misogynistic sexist – then low and behold, a video surfaces of her giving Roman Polanski a standing ovation.

     

     

    That epitomises Progressive liberalism.

     

     

    A mental illness.

     

     

    The Zionists bet both dogs in the fight, Clinton obviously their first preference though.

     

     

    I fear for Iran.

     

     

    God forgive me, and this is a terrible thing to say, but I hope none of those lowlife politicians start a nuclear war before Celtic win the ten.

     

     

    Slan.

    Don’t worry, as long as the board are on board they can take and own the dream, even if there’s dissent, the law is always right ?

     

    Never pass it to legal gobshites the spirite of the law will be cauld the fascist

    Since opinions are as usual fairly entrenched,I’ll just add one comment.

     

     

    In four years time,I’m confident that Barrack Obama will still be considered the best POTUS of the 21st Century.

  21. Morning all

     

     

    Seems to be some white stuff in the air up at Gilshochill station. Glad I have my stupid hat on and not my bunnet

     

     

    Well the best that can be said about last night’s debates here is that, I think, no pictures of Annabel Goldie were posted. As for Trump I can only hope he is not as bad as I fear he might be.

     

     

    A poignant anniversary today as my dad died on this day in 1989. He was not always an easy man to get on with but I probably was not that easy as a son either. I prefer to remember him as the man who introduced me to Thelonious Monk, Raymond Chandler, Private Eye, Film Noir and cricket. And of course those green and white hooped heroes whom he took me to see so many times.

     

     

    I would post ‘Shine on You Crazy Diamond’ but undoubtedly he would not approve.
