Tight at top, Yang and Tilio

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I know what you are thinking.  With our two nearest rivals for the title facing each other tomorrow, there is a chance we can open daylight between them and us at the top of the table – if we manage to overcome Dundee.

Great, though this would be, I am less concerned about the threat from St Mirren.  Motherwell, joint top on points with Celtic, are the more potent force to concern the champions.  Their transformation since Stuart Kettlewell took over in October last year has been remarkable.  It should surprise no one that they are the Premiership side most capable of pushing Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic.

We know better to over-expect from new signings.  They arrive with a flurry of expectation, positivity and flattering YouTube moments.  Getting to work on the park is always a challenge, though, even for the greats.  Still, while we are still processing the injury to Liel Abada, we will be tempted to look to Yang and Marco Tilio to bring something fresh to the team in the months ahead.  Hopefully we will see both at some point tomorrow.  You will remember when Leigh Griffiths was injured early in Brendan’s first tenure.  Newco were the next game and he was forced to play new signing Moussa Dembele in a game subsequently called the Derby Demolition.

A great opportunity has opened for someone.

    From earlier. It is obvious that you are far more familiar with Sections 118-119-120 than others on here, not just the seated areas and access to them, but the areas below the stand and the options available re secure stairs etc. Last time I was in a 60,000 plus crowd was in the days of Martin O’Neill. And like you it annoys the hell out of me, when Celtic put up the ‘Sold Out’ banner when the actual crowd is 000s below the capacity. Relatively easy to give a few hundred away fans, or even fewer, secure access, seating and services etc, and make more seats available to home fans in 119-120. And why play clubs twice at Celtic Park if their fans won’t even turn up once, or in the case of our major rivals will not be allowed back on SPL duty for the foreseeable future?

    One of the tabloids was throwing out that stupid figure a few weeks ago. Know it will cost a chunk of change but no more than 5 or 6 million ps the road is being upgraded but not new or increased width, despite the green house folk at the back of training centre wanting it. As I said all buy the indoor pitch is already in place and that’s 2 million at a push. S

    Ticket exchange or similar is a must. So many people would love to go to a game but when tickets only become publicly available two weeks before a match it can be impossible to make suitable travel plans.

     

     

    A fans’ cafe beside the Superstore is also necessary.

    TLT: I hope to make ten home matches this year. That leaves another nine when the ST is available. Always happy to help a supporter, especially when they are travelling from afar.

     

     

    Hope you are well.

    Reading back on the unused season ticket topic.

     

    Brentford introduced a radical scheme this season – three strikes and your out.

     

     

    If you are a season ticket holder and cant attend a game, you are allowed to give your ticket to someone else or, failing that, put it up for sale to a registered member via the ticket exchange web site.

     

    If your seat is empty and you have not put it on the ticket exchange, you receive a warning email/text.

     

    If you receive 3 warnings in the season, you lose your right to renew your season ticket next season – that tends to focus the mind.

     

     

    There is a right of appeal if there are extenuating circumstances.

     

     

    All of this is has been done following fan consultation – they are a forward thinking wee club.

    Excellent!

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Well done, hope you’re well buddy, por cierto

     

    ………………..

     

    Cheers mate.

     

    I didn’t watch the whole Southampton v Leicester game as I was switching between that game, and the ALL BLACKS Rugby match.

     

    I thought I may LOSE the Bet as the officials added on SIX Minutes of Injury Time, which I watched, and Leicester had another couple of chances to add to their Four Goals…..but they MISSED those chances…..Thankfully.

     

    I am feeling reasonably okay, and many others are far worse than I am.

     

    Many THANKS.

    Good morning, friends and Happy Matchday. And a home game at the sacred time of 3pm on a Saturday. The players will come out of the tunnel level at the top with Motherwell and at least 1 point clear of Triggers Broom FC (‘mon the Perth Saints).

     

    Hopefully it’s a tough task today (for all the right reasons) when deciding on your 3 top performers.
