The most secure club in Europe

868


Ronny Deila has been talking about a treble since early in the season, far too early for my liking.  History suggests that trebles are notoriously difficult to win, even for dominant teams.  The league is usually won by the best team but it’s hard to win every game in two cup competitions, no matter how good you are.

Despite this, I’ll not bet against Ronny getting his wish.  He needs to win four games cup games, three of which would be at neutral Hampden, with only one game, the Scottish Cup quarter final, possibly being played away from home.

The cynic among you will, therefore, expect an away draw, possibly in some far-flung end of the country, like Inverness.  My money is on a trip to Easter Road.  I’ll be happy to avoid Tannadice, scene of our last defeat and a place they’re understandably feeling sort over the loss of Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven.

People of Kirkcaldy: that whole 1994-Ibrox thing, forget about it, we’re OK.

Well done to Celtic for highlighting their position as the least likely football team to financially default, according the US rating agency, Standards & Poor’s.  Commercial and ticket income across Scottish football has fallen in recent years but that was only going to result in Armageddon if those in charge of clubs put an inflated sense of their own importance ahead of paying bills.

See the photo above sent by Mary’s Meals last week of the school kitchen we funded at CQ10.  Work is already underway to raise funds for a fourth CQN kitchen in Malawi after the CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner, on Friday 13 March at the Kerrydale Suite.  Email me for ticket, celticquicknews@gmail.com

    Berget has moved to Malmo I think.

     

    ————————————————————————-

     

    Malmo Quick News will be awash with claims that Malmo’s equivalent to John Park is a fraud……..

     

     

    He seemed like a nice guy but possibly the worst player I have ever seen in the Hooped jersey of Celtic. Or in any of the away jerseys. Or in the training gear. Or in the vicinity of the ground.

     

     

    His goals against DUFC were of the ‘right place at the right time’ variety. He can always say he scored for Celtic but he doesn’t have much more going for him than that….

  2. Starry Plough………………..agree with you regarding Tonev this guy is a good footballer but can we get him from Villa for the right money or is he interested in joining us.

  3. DUFC in the Cup? predictable but bring it on. I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering if we’d have any exciting games to look forward to at this stage in the season.

     

     

    Well, a Cup Final, Inter Milan home and away, an away day to tannadice to keep the treble dream alive and a league that, while I’m pretty confident of winning, we still have some work to do in. Hopefully we’ll have another semi final and a cup final at the end of it all and who knows, maybe, just maybe, another euro night to look forward to.

     

     

    It’s great times for Timmy.

    That should read

    If he’d done what he did outside a nightclub he’d be getting done for GBH. Forearm smashes and stamping on a guy on the ground are generally considered acts of wanton violence off the field….

    I believe the odds of 2 successes in 18 trials at probability of 0.5, that is 2 home draws, is 0.000656 (search for Binomial Calculator on the internet). Given that scietntific experiments quite often use a value of 0.01 as statisitically significant, this is quite amazing odds.

  10. Teamspirit

     

     

    Amazing odds indeed.

     

     

    What makes it a bit more bearable is the two home ties, v Aberdeen and Arbroath resulted in a defeat and a draw.

  11. SSB rewriting the SFA Compliance Officer rule book. No red card or suspensions if the ref gave a free kick or a card. GizzapeaceCSC

  12. A few years ago Luton got 12 home FA cup matches in a row. Every draw is 50/50 previous draws don’t change that.

    According to Chick You it “Wasn’t a stamping. More a….foot coming down…”. His actual words. Chick says Lee (they’re on first name terms) had “nowhere to go”. Nowhere to go last week against JG I assume? Seems “Lee” needs to find himself a hobby…

  18. Some hun on SSB earlier imploring the permaraging not to travel to London. Reckons big Mick the tim wants them to show themselves up as usual and get EGM postponed. He’s looking for administration before EGM.

     

     

    Nice.

  19. Lol at the BBC – first thing they do is show an old Utd goal against us. Never even showed our win on Saturday.

     

     

    Hurtin’ Huns in that tragic sports dept. Enjoying your lurk, ya Hun Monkeys?

     

     

    Utd away (16 away from last 18 cup ties) a dynamite encounter, and I prefer it to ICT away – feel like they’d exercise some kind of jinx ove rus at crucial time sin the season.

     

     

    Gary Anderson holds the distinction of being the very last Hun near a cup draw this season.

    Eddieinkirkmichael, just been reading the blog and saw your name mentioned a lot so looked to the previous thread and read your post with a mixture of disgust and anger.

     

     

    Nobody should be subject to what your family have had to contend with based on an online submission.

     

     

    They really do have some vile animals within their ranks.

     

     

    Hopefully the law will deal with them and you can move on from this.

     

     

    Hail Hail Eddieinkirkmichael

  21. Eddieinkirkmichael. Away from home for a few days. Just catching up. Sorry to hear what you have been subjected to by those people. Will keep you and your wife in my thoughts and prayers.
