Sky missed the target, Guidetti mojo

315

A place at the top of the league is the prize no offer for Celtic tonight, as well as the chance to atone for a couple of ropey performances earlier in the season.  The penalty-aided draw at Celtic Park against Motherwell was perhaps our worst display of the season, while a late collapse at Fir Park against 10 men uncovered serious vulnerabilities.

The Fir Park game is most memorable as the day John Guidetti lost his mojo.  He could have had a hat-trick that afternoon but misfired and hasn’t recovered.  He’s no longer an automatic starting choice, but if he gets on, he’ll have the perfect opportunity to bury his demons.

Do you think that despite his emotional state, Charles Green knew he Sky Sports’ Jim White would allow him to answer questions about money by talking about his wages, not the onerous contracts which are proving to be a convenient earn-out for those who were in at the start?

As an interview, it was compelling, but Sky missed the target.

Get in early for the minute’s applause in memory of our friend Kano.  It will be a chance to reflect on his inimitable style.

CQN11 St Patrick’s Day Dinner Dance is on Friday 13 March, at the Kerrydale Suite, Celtic Park. The focus of an excellent night’s entertainment will be funding the construction of a kitchen at Chibwata Primary School in Malawi, for Mary’s Meals.

  3. Tom I think you need a more up to date comparison, some of the punters on here will have no idea who you are referring to,although I personnally agree. Who is the wee baldy guy who gets patted on the head all the time? My money is on Alfie or Kev Bhungle. Hail Hail Hebcelt

    Best chance is the Belfast bar or The Hercules

     

    Maddens is Folk type bar and I don’t believe Kelly’s have a tv (by choice not poverty)

     

    I myself may head to the Felons on the 14th .Hope to catch up with some of the hooters

    My guess is that money is to PREVENT an insolvency event………….Like the SFA ADVANCED all clubs money this season owing to the financial climate????????

     

     

    We had the worldwide recession a few years ago and this didn’t happen, all hands on deck to keep the stench afloat.

    It’s ‘consigliere’ buddy.

     

     

    Many Guinnesses have you had?!

     

     

    Are you available to receive a call?

  13. voguepunter.,

     

     

    Bars in Castle St are not really football bars, or places that will definitely have Celtic matches televised.

     

     

    Others might know better but I don’t know of any Hoops who go there to watch Celtic.

     

     

    My advice is to head to West Belfast and to The Rock Bar of Felons Club.

    Ibis defo safest right on arterial route to free republic of West Belfast. All watering holes mentioned Hercules, Maddens, Kelly’s Cellars sound OR taxi ride up the Falls to the Felons. Jimtim of this parish can vouch for the fact that a decent evening can be had there.

     

    VP

     

    Just read Macanbheatha post. Felons defn place to watch the match.

     

    16 roads I know it’s early but if you can get my email addy of Paul. I could arrange some grub to be put on for ghuys after match in Felons.

     

    Houl

    PMSL @ that. I thought it was a wind-up!

     

     

    True colours exposed, when a cry of “‘mon the Hoops” is heard.

     

     

    “we dont class ourselves as bigots, we’ve got friends who urr the “opposite” religion” WTF!

  17. said SPFL secretary Ian Blair. “While we obviously monitor the reality of the situation it’s important that all of our member clubs are treated fairly and equally.”

     

     

    Next time I speak to your mammy, Ian, I will tell her you are either telling fibs or you do not even know what is going all around you. SPL fair to all clubs? Of course, being a Morton supporter you will not know too much about real football matters.

    Missed your Raheem Sterling post in the wee sma’ ‘oors.

     

     

    Scored a great goal, agreed.

     

     

    Maybe lacks consistency, but he’s young yet.

     

     

    On last night’s display, he seems to be showing now why Real Madrid were/are supposedly interested in him, which surprised me.

    Will elbows Mc Culloch be next to step into the Ibrokes hot seat as player manager ? H.H.

  20. Better be exact if I’m using quotation marks.

     

     

    “Our company regulations state that participating clubs don’t have to provide the money raised from ticket sales for the League Cup semi-finals or final to the SPFL until ten days after the ties have been played,” said SPFL secretary Ian Blair. “While we obviously monitor the reality of the situation it’s important that all of our member clubs are treated fairly and equally.”

    If I’m any judge, I’m not surprised Real are watching him ……. he is a very exciting / ENTERTAINING player ….. what I REALLY like about him is that he gives 100% in EVERY game …..as you say, the consistency will develop automatically…..HH

    He’s also had to play without 2 goal machines in the side, Gnasher, and Sturridge, so he’s had a bit of responsibility to shoulder.

    Hope so……it will stop him seriously injuring any players, ….and…..he’ll be another utterly hopeless manager (but perhaps a good gardener)
