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.

  1. Anyone interested in talking about the team for Wed?

     

     

    My fear is NL going 4-4-2, with Stokes, Pukki, Sammi, Commons and Forrest all starting…..far too attack minded IMO)

  2. Armed robbery in an Ayr jewellers today.

     

     

    The gang were caught – run down by cops – in the getaway car on the Whittlets Road – that goes past the Racecourse.

     

     

    SIX sets of traffic lights and TWO pedestrian crossing lights before you hit the bypass.

     

     

    What criminal mastermind came up with that getaway route? :)))))))))

     

     

    I hope it was a gang of Huns. How we’ll laugh…

    With Pukki benched on Sat, I think you’re right.

     

     

    Midfield will be key, as usual.

     

     

    Must defend when not in possession….must provide ammunition when attacking.

  4. !!Bada Bing!! Another good program(better than ccleaner imho) is Winaso Registry Optimiser.

     

    You can get a free version on the likes of Cnet but the free version only sorts 10 registry problems at a time so if you have loads to clear up it can take a bit of time.

     

    It does loads of other stuff as well though and its a great wee program.

  5. Just heard Malky Murrays comments on the Scots and the Irish on Talksport.

     

     

    Absolutely cringeworthy. And so so revealing about the mindset that preoccupies even the supposedly “non-mental” bears.

     

     

    Not only were the comments historically questionable (has he never heard of the highland clearances?) his attempt to deny Alan Brazils scottishness was truly appalling.

     

     

    Worst thing was, I don’t think he even realised how offensive he was being. Truly, there is no hope for them…

    What I want to know after Saturday’s game is who is gonna pay for the seat that was broken by one of the Crossbar Challenge contestants?! Eh??!!

     

     

    Meanwhile, Peter Lawell will no doubt be picking up his £Squillion bonus…

  7. Re lost property. Years ago my big brother, who is either an innocent abroad or known to the Polis, found a handgun in one of the alleys off Glasgow’s George Square. What did he do? Took it to the nearest Polis station. Thanks Sir, was probably used in a ‘job’ and been dumped, the Polis said, no questions asked of my brother!

  8. Matthew Lindsay Keith Jackson Richard Wilson and Chick Young say the Chinese deal would have been 200 million if Rangers were still in the top league. A source close to the club said.

    Twisty – you putting a bet on the Melbourne Cup?

     

    I’ve gone for Irish St Leger winner, Voleuse De Coeurs, which is now based in Oz. Decent price!
