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.

****CQN Last Man Standing 10 – Kicks off tonight with a 7pm deadline for entries. No more sleeps!!!!****

Our Last Man Standing competition starts tonight.

Thank you to all for the amazing 105 entries for our LMS10 competition, but we are still open for business until 7pm.

So, still time for those last minute Bhoys & Ghirls  to pile in  and help two amazing causes.

    Morning bud

     

    Ah it’s the way it’s always been for me with these games. Find it very difficult to watch live on tv.

     

    Much prefer to be there.

     

    It’s been a while since I’ve returned from my self imposed exile, turned on and found we had lost so hopefully that’ll continue today.

     

    Nevertheless I shall be at the top of the Wrekin at noon and won’t be making my way down until close to time up.

    relevent as anybody elses whether we agree with them or not.

     

    Will we win today? well i’m very confident, after all the false bravado from

     

    that lot and their usual pals in the tabloids there’s going to be a load of

     

    humble pie being eaten after the game.

  24. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    Morning all. Slept like a bat last night. Up at 5.30am. So the day is here. Let’s deliver a sickening blow to the uppy Sevs and their cheerleaders.

     

    They have got themselves all pumped up and salivating over their breathtaking six game win run.

     

     

    A six game run that has seen them topple a Championship team, a League one (3rd tier) team, and the teams currently sitting 6th, 8th, 10th and 11th in the “top” league in the country.

     

     

    They have raised their hopes just high enough, that they will smash into a thousand pieces, when we batter them.

     

     

    DD – Welcome back and good luck in the coming months.

     

     

    BRTH – Fantastic post the other day (was just catching up on the blog this morning), thanks for taking the time to write that. Your views on Celtic in the modern world, mirror my own, and hopefully you and the others, see a favourable outcome to your efforts. You have this Celts heartfelt thanks for your works.

     

     

    For those going to the Edwardian Toilet Block today, stay safe. I fancy the peepil will be at a dangerous breaking point by 2pm.

    Good Morning Bhoys and Best wishes to Brendan Rodgers and the Celtic team for todays game. Like any game of football it could go any way and this is a game where form goes out of the window. I could not pick todays team as there are so many variables and I think Brendan may come up with something a little different for this game. I am going off to mass shortly and then it will be getting ready for the game and a wee message for all football fans today is stay safe. H.H.

    I was talking to a “re-invigorated” Sev yesterday said this is the most confident he has been for years, I questioned this as at the start of the season he was lauding Ped the Cashino, he said “this is different” so as I was leaving I said “enjoy the game” which he replied “if yous (sic) Cnuts score first I will be leaving the ground” loyal ???? hope Brendan & the Bhoys empty their 3 stands well before 2pm :-)
