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.

    Barca at home to Athletico madrid tonight (9 pm glasgow time, I believe) ….hopefully, the Bhoys have our game well in hand by half-time, as the Barca game could be a good one to watch as well…

    I take it we’ll be increasing the number of tickets for the travelling Dons choralists?

    I liked the guy that asked if he could have the time of the demo changed because……………………………….. he couldn’t make it.

  7. Looking through the current 30 man squad below

     

     

    A bit of conjecture, i know but…

     

     

    If the 4 loanees are heading back to their clubs and Kris and VVD are for the off this month or the summer.

     

     

    Kayal, Boerrigter and Rogic no longer quoted

     

     

    If Jamsie and Mikael continue running down the scottish NHS budget,

     

     

    Then when you look at what is possibly left, you can see that there will need to be some serious building work carried out before next years CL qualifiers.

     

     

    I really hope our scouting system is up to the task

    Has Leigh Griffiths left? ( I have not checked the news before posting so apologies if he has!)

     

    Quite a few names I would get shot of there though!

    Worrying, especially when RD has stated the squad should be much smaller?

  10. bournesouprecipe

     

    Indeed

     

     

    Anyhow heading out to the game now, to all my fellow supporters wrap up well and enjoy it

  11. Need a bit of Health and Safety advice ghuys, A few of us are coming over to Hampden from Ireland,for the Sevco game on 1st Feb. and was wondering whats the safest to get there without meeting bloodthirsty zombies intent in doing damage to Celtic festooned supporters. I travel frequently to Parkhead and know the areas to avoid but Hampden would be unknown territory. I recall getting a taxi to Ibrox about 10 years ago, and the taxi driver who was obviously a Hun attempted to drop us off in an area full of Huns……only for an eagle-eyed young policewoman we would have been slaughtered.

     

    Any advice would be most welcome.

    Thought your suggestion the other day about going to the Accies game on Saturday was a great idea.

  14. Was over in Belfast last month . Stayed in the holiday inn . Very good hotel . Also central . Had the pleasure of meeting cqn gearoid1998 , who looked after me and introduced me to felons for the Belgrade match . If any of the belfast bound Bhoys need any assistance while over , gearoid 1998 will I’m sure be more than happy to help out .

    Transfer window 2/3rds of the way through and things are bubbling along nicely at Celtic we already have GMS in the bag. H.H.

    You seem to be the only one.

     

    I’m going to go and spend a few bob at my local club. Two decent footballing sides as well.
