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.

  8. DelaneysDunky, good to see you posting again and on the mend, there were plenty on here who were concerned for you. I salute your indefatigability, sir!

    Nice to see you pop up in here . I hadn’t seen you around for a wee while . Wasn’t sure if you still posted.

     

    Not surprised to see you offering support and encouragement to DD.

     

    You may or may not be aware I’m retiring soon. Anyhow as I’m returning to Scotland I’m trying to be clever and get my house down here cleared of junk etc in order to minimise the work when it’s time to move.

     

    As I cleared my man drawer last week I came across a special item in there. Inscribed with a message of support from a special human being.

     

    No need to say more.

     

    Hope your and yours are good my friend.

    Looking at the stuff on Twitter this morning illustrates very clearly the difference between the two clubs.

     

    Loads of them are tweeting about hatred, disrespecting the dead, banging the “we are the people” drum etc. Whilst we are are talking about team selection and concentrating on supporting our team. How anyone would want to buy into their outlook on life is totally beyond me. I hope we finish the game in the the first 20 minutes and send them home to their collective misery.

    Delighted to see you posting again!

     

     

    It takes a brave mhan to come on here and share the problems he has had.

     

     

    Wishing you a full and speedy recovery.

     

     

    To all those going to the Victorian lavvy in Govan – be safe.

     

     

    Personally the only outcome I can see today is a Celtic victory.

     

     

    HH!!

    Really good to see you back on the blog man.

     

     

    The insomnia usually passes at some point or at least it did for me:))

     

     

    Good to see you’re getting support in what you’re doing, it’s not something it’s easy to do on yer own.

     

     

    This place, this CQN thing, helped me more than anyone will ever know through the hard times and through the good times, it has that kind of effect on folk!

     

     

    Take care my friend DD

    Oooooooh nearly forgot HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPY BIRTHDAY to my eldest grandson Sean Patrick a big 8 today

  15. Lots of good posts this week, I wonder what could have prompted them?

     

     

    Despised this fixture when it was Rainjurz and don’t like it much now that its Sevco, and today for the first time Celtic face a much improved side whilst displaying an achilles heel not helped by facing European billionaires, every other week.

     

     

    How improved we are about to find out glad if Dedryk Boyata is back and Kriss Ajer deserves his jersey.

     

     

    Would bite your hand off for a draw CSC

  16. Good morning from a sun kissed but breezy Marbella, watching the game in Harmons Irish Bar in Elviria, if anybody would care to join me. Feeling good about today as I have a special birthday tomorrow – yes the magic 67 tomorrow – so I’d appreciate a nice wee present today Bhoys – humiliate them!! Hail Hail Hebcelt
