We want a win, but let’s not kid ourselves

964

We are almost week on from Morton (our only mustn’t lose game in March) but there will be a business-like atmosphere around Lennoxtown today as the team prepare to go to Ibrox, scene of three consecutive wins since Newco were promoted to top flight football.  Brendan and his players are all too aware of the big talk coming from Murray Park.  If ever they needed motivation, they didn’t need to look far.

Fans of either colour, who have been around long enough, will recognise the occasion, but this is not the way you and I used to feel about going to Ibrox.  Back in the old days I preferred to go there as slight underdogs, which was often as good as it got for Celtic fans.  Now, we travel to every ground in the country as strong favourites, no matter what our form.  This is nothing like it was in the pre-liquidation years.

I want to win, of course, but I would have been devastated if we’d lost to Morton.  Sunday’s game cannot reach me the same way.  This is a step on the road to what will hopefully be a treble, don’t pretend it is about winning the league, it’s just not.

    Gerry it’s funny you say that because I swear on this,, I had no idea the msm called him mahe the madman until I read it above. Did they call him that? I wouldn’t know,,,because ra ta da da,,my morals forbid me to even look at that bogroll ( the rags) never mind buy it.

    Outstanding. Take a bow,old son. You deserve a medal for that tale.

     

     

    Of course,Stephane might give you the league medal which he won,except…

     

     

    He gave it to a young lad.

    You mention wee Oscar, it was through Oscars videos that attracted me to the blog before I posted I thought there was only an article I didn’t realise there was a comments section, wee Oscar was born the save day as MissGFTB 10th September 2008, it’s something I will never forget, anyhow the blog isn’t perfect but it does so much good than bad, my head will never be down, I love where I live Scotland is my country and no bigot will ever change that fact…. the day we give in the bigots win….

     

     

    Mahe your love of Celtic is still there let it flourish :-)

  7. Mahe the Madman on

    Was our finest hour Gerry. Delighted to be among men of that calibre again.

     

    I just pray they get home safe tomorrow. Eff the points.

     

    Especially you Kieran Tierney! ( He lurks)

     

    God bless you all

    Wow,I didn’t know Wee Oscar shared a birth day wi the wee yin. That’s definitely a shortcut to affinity

     

     

    I mind my early days of posting here,usually overnight,there was a poster called KNOXY2000. I gently chided him once about how great it must be to have the whole of The Jungle singing a song about you,naw haud oan,mibbe not.

     

     

    He replied that it was even worse when his pals changed from John to Stevie…

     

     

    Marvellous couple whom I had the brief pleasure of meeting once.

    You must be keeping an interest if you know about our KT :-)

     

     

    5 games ma bahookie, I understand your reason about the cheats but never let them interfere with your conditional love of the hoops :-)

     

     

    I can never sleep before we play the Sevs, back to my childhood heading into Celtic Park to queue up for tickets for Snake Mountain £8 @ go was quite dear 30yrs ago, not sure what the other is these days ….. maybe £49 ?

  10. bankiebhoy1,

     

     

    Celtic will go with 3 CH’s despite lacking?

     

     

    Keep the Faith.

     

     

    Strugggggggling with it….. Don’t take it out on me.

     

     

    To me you are a Coward.

    Did you know that Charles Dickens was a renowned Epicurian,and had originally intended his book to be a memoir of his travels around some of Germany’s finest restaurants?

     

     

    It was the Borscht of times,it was the Wurst of times.

     

     

    I’m offski after that,before this pumpkin gets a deserved kicking.

  12. Mahe the Madman on

    Gerry I thought about it, 4 games since Stuart Armstrong signed.

     

    All in Europe.

     

    Tis hard because as it was like Jim Bowen said every week “Here’s a look at what you could have won”

     

    Anyway, I’m over it. Other ways to be a supporter , i neve realised it until I find myself here, but there is.

    Long before I was on the blog I think wee Oscar was going for treatment (I hope if any of the family are reading they don’t think I am posting out of turn) it was posted it was his birthday did he have to go to the hospital, it has always stuck in my mind, sometimes we don’t realise how lucky we are

     

     

    Bobby it has stuck from that day and I can assure you it was the wee mhans videos that brought me to this site

     

     

    Cqn does far more good than a couple of rubbish internet fallouts :-)

    I hope that Brendan changes system at the start and then goes back, when we are 2 ahead.
