This is our trophy

235

Until recent times, the Newco penalty kick win over Celtic in the 2016 Scottish Cup semi-final was the greatest day in the club’s history.  They celebrated like it was a Petrofac Cup win all over again.  The teams have met twice in Scottish Cup business since, Celtic scored six over the two dates without reply, a merit scarcely recalled among our incredible achievements in recent seasons.

Our subsequent 21 games in the competition brought 21 wins, 20 within the 90 minutes.  Hearts and Partick Thistle scored a total of seven goals against us in that period, all the others put together managed to score just twice (Aberdeen and St Mirren getting one each).  In the history of spherical objects, Celtic’s domination of the Scottish Cup has never been matched.  This is our trophy.

  1. Go tell the Spartim on

    ‘still I suppose they must be uniquely good fibbers to fool the canny Scots’

    I don’t think the Scots are any cannier now than they were in the 1950s when a majority of the electorate voted Tory.

  3. Ernie,

     

    No idea.My postal vote is in for the Holyrood elections.

     

    How many times are you going to come away with this guff.I know you are not dense,and its quite simple to understand,so why?.

  4. If the SNP get a majority at Holyrood what’s to stop them introduced an updated version of The Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012?

     

     

    They still support the legislation and not one of them has issued a word of criticism of it.

  5. I always want Celtic to win

     

    I always the forces of darkness to lose

     

     

    So this weekend means what it always does to me – shed loads!

  6. It seems rather ironic that the three scorers so far in Arsenal’s drubbing of Slavia Prague are all black.

  7. Ernie,

     

    In Turkey,no.Anyway,I don’t have a vote here,but my postal vote is in for the Scottish Election.

     

    Of course you know that.Its been explained to you before.Trying and failing to be a smart ass,is not a good look for someone with an ego like yourself.

     

    Another one in the “Glaikitline on May 7th.All that angst,bitterness,and anger,wasted.”

     

    Now go away,I prefer to talk about Celtic.

  8. The Blogger Formerly Known As GM on

    Hopefully the majority on here want Celtic to win this weekend. That goes without saying.

     

     

    But after the shit-show we’ve just witnessed, a bit of contrition wouldn’t go amiss.

  9. fairhill bhoy on

    TB-the glaikitline will be may17/th back home🍻

     

    My 51st on the 22nd so fingers crossed 🙏

  10. The Blogger,

     

    Do you not think its ridiculous when you have to say”Hopefully”.On a Celtic blog.

  11. I am part of the Catholic cult – and I am proud of it (although a lot of reforms needed).

  12. fairhill bhoy on

    TB-I didn’t explain it well.

     

    51 in may 22nd.

     

    Did you say Turkey was going into lockdown

  13. How is it,that every article on that ridiculous Blog,Football Insider,starts with”I am hearing”,or,”My sources are telling me”.All from the likes of Mc Avennie,and Mc Leish,if your no angry.

     

    Another two for the glaikit line.

    “As far as I am concerned, the Scottish Cup is of little value to Celtic this season – it has been an horrendous campaign – let’s leave it at that”.

     

     

    Some having a go that I don’t want Celtic to win – nothing could be further from the truth, I’d want Celtic to win at tiddlywinks – I said that the SC was “of little value” this year.

     

     

    This season was all about 10iar. We had a triple treble-winning squad intact. We had spent c£20m ‘strengthening’ – some on here were shouting that Shane Duffy was the last piece of the jigsaw, the title was ‘in the bag’ and no player at Ibrox could get into our squad.

     

     

    The Scottish Cup really only means something to us if it is part of a set that contains the SPFL title. The title is a two-horse race and is really only important these days to give access to the European income we need to survive. In the case of the Europa League that is quadruple what winning the SPFL brings, and in the case of the Champions League, quadruple that again.

     

     

    So, yes, this season I couldn’t care less about the Scottish Cup – but whenever Celtic play, I want us to win….nuff said.

    Re canniness of the Scots nothing has changed in the last 70 years so your point is 100% spot on

    Despite clear lying , the votes are piling up , how do the SNP do it ? It’s just simply a modern miracle or unexplainable phenomenon ….

     

     

    Cool it dude take it easy

  16. always want Celtic to win

     

     

    I always the forces of darkness to lose

     

     

     

    So this weekend means what it always does to me – shed loads!

     

     

     

    —-

     

     

    Me too – and I love to see us beat them more as I get older. I’m pretty mellow with the rest of my life but I just can’t shake that feeling 🤷🏽‍♀️

  17. TB-jeso .

     

    Stay safe 🍀

     

    I need you to argue with 😉

     

    Although not on much recently 😉

  18. HOT SMOKED – you ask a reasonable question – personally I would be prepared to post my political views elsewhere – however, the SNPcult took over this blog in 2013/14 – misguided, misled & conned Celtic supporters and a ‘posse’ of non-Celtic Cybernats have posted SNP tripe day in & day out for years.

     

     

    I truly believe that “our kind’ will suffer badly in the event on independence.

     

     

    Consider this – do you think that our advisories in the event of independence, will say – “OK you won, we will lie low and accept it”? Of course they won’t – they will get involved in politics ‘tooth & nail’ – the OO will morph into a Scottish DUP. We are a small minority – the country will begin life de facto bankrupt – who do you think will be the ‘whipping boys’?

  19. So is JHB worth a wide berth 😉

     

    Only asking

     

    And absolutely no disrespect to JHB😉

    You just don’t want to get it, my friend.

    Oh, I do because I belong to the Celtic cult.

  21. BIG WAVY is sitting back saying I told you the Brighton reject was poor from the get go 😉

  22. Off to bed to dream of the first of two Derby victories and then watching Broonie leave after lifting the Scottish Cup! COYBIG

  23. A nice story on CQN about Klimala –

     

     

    “Celtic flop seals deal”

     

     

    I get that he didn’t set the heather on fire but come on, surely we can show ex players a bit more respect.

  24. Football Insider?

     

     

    ………………………………………………………Part of the rekord stable………………..

     

     

    ( what are stables usually full of?)

     

     

    ;)

  25. One other thought, if we’d just stuffed the stickies in the league by 20 points before Easter, and anyone associated with them claimed to have the better team, we’d be citing it as a Banter Years Classic.

     

     

    We really need to start doing some talking on the field.
