The gift of focus for Ajax

695

The last minute goal fell Celtic’s way at the weekend but Wednesday’s opponents, Ajax, were on the receiving end of the sucker punch, losing to a last minute goal at home to Vitesse, just a week after a goalless draw at home to joint bottom Waalwijk.  The Dutch champion’s only win in their last five games was at home to lower league opposition six days ago.

So what does this mean for Celtic?  It means Ajax have found various ways not to approach the Celtic game.  The last thing teams need ahead of a crucial game is an easy or flattering result, far better to show up your mistakes.

If Celtic take the lead, we might find Ajax confidence sinks rapidly, but they will approach the game full of focus, dangerous and with a point to prove.

It’s Christmas time…….

The Celtic FC Foundation (new name for Celtic Charity) Christmas Appeal has been launched.  The 125 Anniversary activities have considerably reenergised the Celtic Movement in getting back to where is all started – looking after those in need.

The Christmas Appeal aims to provide 150 local families who would otherwise go without, a Christmas meal, with gifts for younger kids.

The Celtic support will be helping people through Glasgow East Women’s Aid, Spirit Aid, the Glasgow Simon Community, Loaves and Fishes, The Wayside Club, Glasgow City Mission and Lodging House Mission.

Details of how to help online, and in person, are available here.

    Hearts are in complete disarray,but they have a decent Scottish Cup record.

     

    Confident we’ll go through but expect a real hard game with the game being at Tynecastle.

  2. 50 shades of green supports wee oscar and his family.h.h.wee mhan on

    Must admit I was happy when the first

     

    Tie out was falkirk v sevco, made the rest of the draw a lot easier to watch.

  3. On the subject of Chinese Football. A friend of mine has a son who has dual Chinese and British citizenship and currently plays his professional football in Hong Kong. The lads name is Jaimes McKee. He’s fast and scores loads of goals. Worth a wee look see on You Tube. He is eligible to play for China should he wish but is he good enough for us????

     

    Hail Hail -3 – 1 to the good guys tomorrow night.

    I dont think Falkirk will pose much of a threat to Newco as they are having a poorish season.I watched Aberdeen and Partick thistle last night and I was impressed with the Dons I think at home they will be a match for most teams.H.H.

  5. Look out for the BBC, Sky and BT getting into a bidding war to show the Falkirk-Sevco game live just so they can put more TV money into the Zombie coffers.
