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.

    Thank you. Been sober and straight for a couple of months now. Starting to see the light again. Insomnia is my only problem now. Hope to see you again soon. You made a big impression on my son Ryan too. Hope all good in Canada.

    I can sympathize on the insomnia thing. I sometimes would go two or three days without sleeping, so I know it can be a bugger. Sounds like you have been going through a lot recently, so hopefully your insomnia will only be a temporary thing.

     

     

    Little Seamus has turned my life upside down … but, in a really good way.I obviously needed to shake things up.

     

     

    He will see his first game against the zombies tomorrow (and hopefully his first win).

    Great to have ye back on CQN! Take good care of yerself, and keep posting.

    Thanks pal. Looks like I will have another sleepless night. Only 7 hours till we put them in their place though. Hope Alves and Master Bates are their defence today. Moussa for a hat trick again against them. Let us put them to sleep for good. We are the Champions my friend.

    Brendan’s had two go’s at Murty.

     

    Hopefully, it’ll be third time lucky

     

    for Brendan, vs Murty.

    JFH, HH fella, I hope that you, and yer Mrs etc, are keeping well.

     

    Joe, I think that I might not have been specific enough in my post that you referenced yesterday.

     

    I was trying to convey what seems to be the general consensus on here, that seemingly, Murty is useless.

     

    I don’t think that he’s useless, its dangerous to think that way. If, Murty is useless, why can Brendan not defeat him ? Hopefully Brendan remedies that today, HH.

    DD – guid to see you back fella, HH.

    WEEBAWBABBITY, I hope you, and the rest of Timdom enjoy today, and yes, your correct about BIG PACKIE, he’s the nicest poster on here, he has that Jeremy Corbyn type of sincerity about him, hope Maureen is grand, HH.

    Thanks for the welcome home pal. If you want to watch Celtic at home anytime, without giving our treasonous PLC any money, you can have my seat in the auld jungle anytime. I know you get a hard time on her but in my mind, you have Celtic in your heart.

     

    FTSFA and F the Celtic PLC.

     

    Take care Kev and relax more.

  28. Good morning from a rather dreich Dumbreck, back in the land of the living after 3 months in Brunei. It was pretty wet here when I arrived yesterday and was most of the day so I am wondering what sort of effect the weather will have had on the Mordor pitch. It may make the ball slicker to play or will the pitch cut up?

     

    Good to see DD has risen from the dead and is back posting I hope you are well G-mhan.

     

    I’ll be going to 10:30 Mass at St Leo the Greats and will exit as Blackshirts are walking past it on their way to Ayebrokes.

     

    Hoping for a good performance and a good win but will settle for any type of win.

     

     

    In an aside, I was on 3 flights from Brunei and the last one from Dubai to Glasgow was full of fat bassas including myself. Just be grateful that it didn’t crash as the impact would have been akin to the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs ;-)

    Thanks for the welcome home my friend. Hopefully Faith of our Father is the exit hymn in Saint Leo the Lion today. Saint Etienne Dalmuir for my pre match mass for me.

  30. DD good to see you back to get some (in)sanity back into this blog ;-)

     

    Hopefully hunskelping will be the order of the day with Moussa being the hunskelper General. I’ve got a wee feeling that Sinky will play from the start and will put the ball in the net.

    I got a feeling that KT will score today and our French striker will get 3 goals. Insane thoughts fae Clydebank.

  32. Morning all

     

    Not possible to get a good sleep before we play them is it?

     

    6 hours to kick off and heart going like a train already, and thats the truth.

     

     

    Usual routine for me if I’m not at the game. Game gets recorded, I do a Kev J – aff oot. Back at time up. Check result.

     

    Hopefully I can then pour a large drink and watch it. If it goes wrong? Delete match from planner.

     

     

    Hoping for a win today and a win by 2 goals to send them a timely reminder that their 10 in a row isn’t going away.

     

     

    Mind you, I’ll take a 90th minute deflection off the referees head if necessary for a 1-0.

     

     

    Good luck bhoys.
