I looked up at the clock, 80 minutes. The closing moments would hold a disproportionate weight on our season. After a couple of early chances, Motherwell did not cause Joe Hart any difficulty, but Celtic, unable to retain possession, could do no more than clear their lines and wait for the next wave of attack as yesterday’s games closed.
Winning leagues is all about getting the job done, not being a hard luck story. Celtic, without a striker throughout the game, and weakened further through injury during it, won the three points, our fourth single goal victory in five league outings. That freewheeling performance at Tannadice a week ago was the exception.
There is a hidden problem when games are so tight; players need to compete to the last kick. This will drain energy further for a squad, with all the European games, internationals and unmatched ability to reach cup finals, already plays more football than any other in the game. Limbs and minds are taxed.
My worry is not for the big games. Adrenaline will pump in bucketfuls at Hampden and against Newco. Not so much at Dingwall, Paisley or Perth.
As for the Europa Conference draw: anyone but Tottenham, please. They were in the Champions League Final two years ago and have not slipped into obscurity that quickly.

Should get yourself along to Chapman’s for one.

You question my integrity and it seems you are trying to close down debate on a relevant Celtic topic.
Just remember what happened in your adopted country when the population never questioned.

It’s not unknown for people to sing songs about things that happened before they were born.
It’s been like that since pre history. It’s a core element of the human condition.
a wonder who let doon the entirety of the Celtic with his St John Doyle posts …

How many posters on here have actually met and spoke with a reasonable enough sample from the Green Brigade to offer a fair opinion on them?
Songs, chants, protests, actions and banners are insufficiently informative without knowing the motives behind them.

I was on nodding terms with a couple of them when they started out. Don’t know if they’re still involved.
I also remember overhearing a conversation between a couple of them on the bus to a pre season game in England. They were talking about their forthcoming Higher results. I don’t think they were at St Als. I didn’t feel in any way threatened or anxious at being in such close proximity to them.
As I recall they were mostly all associated with the TAL fanzine.

Saint Stivs, you’ve done a good and, I believe, honest job there in demonstrating injustices perpetrated by the authorities. But remember, the police acted, throughout, as agents of the Scottish Government. As far as I know not one member of that government raised one word of protest following these events – and they knew.
Again, I’m conflicted about the GB’s motivation. Do they believe that they are vital components in Celtic’s success? If so, what do they hope to demonstrate by conditional support – defeat for Celtic?
I thought Judy might have made this list. Appears not, but you be the judge. Enjoy.

Chapman’s attracts all the ole Vogue punters and means they are a length of the Main St closer to Paradise.

Thanks for the response. My limited experience with a handful of members was also positive and unthreatening.

The guys I’ve met are brand new. Went to the London Road social club for a game this season (can’t remember the opponents) and they were just young guys and gals having a good time supporting Celtic.

The guy that used to have it now runs the Cedarwood in Toryglen. This is now my pub of choice when we’re at our second home at Hampden. He took some of Chapman’s bar staff with him, which is a bonus when it’s rammed and they recognise you and start pouring a Guinness that’s ready when you’ve finally reached the bar. And you can still get a 90.
