Unfortunate coincidences

175

No matter how much work he did with Arsenal, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will need minutes in a competitive game before he looks anywhere near his best.  That needs to start as soon as possible.  Celtic should aim to secure the win first, but hopefully we will see Alex against Livingston tomorrow night.

A glance at the fixture list confirms we are at the business end of the season.  Before the month is out we are at Kilmarnock (you might still have PTSD from our last visit there), Hibernian and we’ve Stuttgart home and away.  Alex is ineligible against the Germans but Martin O’Neill will require the entire squad ready for Kilmarnock and Hibs.

I’m trying to supress feelings about the refereeing at our last two games.  You get the feeling we are in for it between now and the end of the season.  All of our unfortunate coincidences will happen all at once.

  1. Very little quality but an enjoyable watch. Watching this hearts team annoys me because we’ve been so poor against them.

  2. Prestonpans bhoys on

    Edinburgh Derby game is dire, been to loads of them in the past. The trick is not to turn up to them sober!

    HT – 0-0.

     

     

    Not a great game of football. Some of the ball control and first touches have been aweful.

     

     

    Both sides as bad as each other, although Hibs shaded it in the final 15 minutes of the half.

     

     

    It has 1-0 to someone written all over it – probably a goal gifted by a defensive blunder.

  4. Cosy Corner Bhoy on

    It was really great to see the John Fallon tribute.

     

    I always thought he was an excellent goalie but also an unlucky one.

     

    If he made a mistake, and who doesn’t , the ball invariably seemed to end up in our net, whereas, with RS there always seemed to be a goal line clearance or woodwork in the way.

     

    Still great memories however.

  5. lets all do the huddle on

    yet another blatant yellow card for a hearts player pull back.

    Thank goodness they’ve taken of number 14.

     

     

    They might have a chance now.

  7. Well I wondered if the refs would still favour Hearts in games now that the Huns are champions in waiting. That performance gave me the answer. Even the Hearts commentary team were surprised at a number of the decisions.

  8. PeterLatchfordsBelly on

    Watched the game. Hertz are mince but that wee bar steward Walsh gave them everything. You can see they’ve been trained to fall over at every opportunity and pressure the ref. Little shit fell for it completely.

     

     

    Not necessarily the worst result. They would have folded to the huns on Sunday had they dropped points. Now they’ll fight and maybe sneak a draw.

  9. Tomorrow is very interesting now. We need to win and see how the Hun cope with dls and Jambos at the weekend.

  10. Cosy Corner Bhoy on

    Just as a matter of interest, or being pedantic if you prefer, I doubt many of us had PTSD, the last time we were at Kilmarnock… we were playing Auchinleck Talbot and they’re in the juniors! Not fallen that far surely.

  11. We can only win our own games and keep up our own points total for now.

     

    Players kept on going against Dundee and that is a positive, as is the fact that we have more options in most areas of the park. No option but to win tomorrow, get above the fifty point mark and stay in touch.

  12. I asked a Sevvie at my work if he wanted Hibs to win….an emphatic no was the answer.

     

    Anyone but Celtic, I thought but then realised they know they’re pash and ultimately fear the Fenians.

    I think Motherwell have conceded 2 goals in the past 13 games. Incredible defensive form for a provincial club. What a job that guy is doing there.

  14. We now watch matches where refs ignore blatant and clear holding, impeding and shirt pull fouls on almost every corner kick taken, while awarding free kicks for cheatin players who crumple to the ground at the briefest of contacts when another player comes in to challenge, jockey or tackle them.

     

     

    It’s just fugen wrong and needs to be eradicated.

  15. Dexter P. Bampot on

    Need an energetic performance and GOALS tomorrow. Goal difference may be important for the first time in years.

     

     

    Dunno if AOC is fit enough to start and whether Iheanacho is available. But- feed Cvancara!! Quick balls, wingers beating the full backs and we can get a few

    “Denia Bhoy

     

     

    Yourself and the other guys are not wrong in the distinct and clear change in refereeing issues since PL left.”

     

     

    Yes – absolutely…

     

     

    I remember the days before Big Pedro was promoted to CEO in 2024.

     

     

    We used to get some seriously bad decisions against us…

     

     

    It seemed like we were discriminated against.

     

     

    For the last twenty years it has been bliss, as the SFA has wilted to the will of Peter and it seems like every decision has gone our way.

     

     

    Yet, since January the whole thing has gone “Big Pete Tong” as we have noticed the creep of certain decisions going against us again…

     

     

    Well spotted lhads…

     

     

    Keep up the good work;))

     

     

    Hail Hail

  18. Chairbhoy @ 11:44 pm,

     

     

    Apologies…

     

     

    Big Pete Tong was promoted to CEO in 2004…

     

     

    Before that time, certain officials seemed bias against Celtic – Gen X’s wouldn’t have noticed:)))))

     

     

    Hail Hail

  19. It’s actually possible that some “Millennial” Celtic supporters would never even understand that the SFA could ever have had a bias against Celtic.

     

     

    Such was the influence of Big Pete Tong!!

     

     

    Hail Hail

    If Big Pete Tong were to travel to an alternate dimension in which there was the peak Chuck Norris and they both fought, they would both win.

     

     

    In the Beginning there was nothing … then Big Pete Tong roundhouse kicked nothing and told it to get a job.

     

     

    When God said, “Let there be light!” Big Pete Tong said, “Say Please.”

     

     

    Big Pete Tong does not own a stove, oven or microwave, because revenge is a dish best served cold.

     

     

    If paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, and scissors beats paper, what beats all 3 at the same time? Big Pete Tong.

     

     

    On the 7th day, God rested … Big Pete Tong took over.

     

     

    If you want a list of Big Pete Tong’s enemies, just check the extinct Celts list.

     

     

    Big Pete Tong twice shot Brendan Rodgers down with his finger, by pointing it and yelling, “Bang!”

     

     

    Big Pete Tong does not use spell check. If he happens to misspell a word, Oxford will change the spelling.

     

     

    Big Pete Tong’s calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd, because no one fools Big Pete Tong.

     

     

    Big Pete Tong once won a game of Connect Four in three moves.

     

     

    Champions are the breakfast of Big Pete Tong

     

     

    When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Big Pete Tong

     

     

    The dark is afraid of Big Pete Tong

     

     

    Big Pete Tong can kill two stones with one bird.

     

     

    Death once had a near-Big Pete Tong experience.

     

     

    Big Pete Tong never retreats; He just attacks in the opposite direction…

     

     

    Hail Hail
