Week with a sting in the tail

781

The narrative was set for Aberdeen.  After six consecutive league wins without losing a goal, their bubble was burst when they drew with Dundee and St Johnstone, but it hasn’t turned out that way.  They have scored 10 and not conceded in the three league games since.  Out of the Scottish and League Cups, their entire focus is on beating teams less resourceful than them in the league, which is everyone apart from Celtic.

Despite Celtic’s impressive ability to collect points dating back several months, Aberdeen are hanging in there, a remarkable achievement.   The only thing which separates the teams are Celtic’s two 2-1 wins in their previous meetings this season.  From Saturday afternoon Aberdeen’s complete focus will be on their visit to Celtic Park on Sunday.

By contrast, Celtic will return to Glasgow early Friday morning after their trip to Milan.  They will face Aberdeen pretty much as that trip leaves them.

If I was offered a win and a defeat this week, I’d take the win in Milan, but we will need enough in te tank for Sunday’s game.

Thanks to everyone who booked a ticket over the weekend for the CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner on Friday on 13 March at the Kerrydale Suite.  Anyone still to catch up, let me know, celticquicknews@gmail.com

    Pity you can’t make it, Jamesgang would have danced you off your feet…he keeps it quiet but he’s a professional ballroom dancer.

     

     

    It must cost you a fortune travelling over, cap doffed to all the supporters that make such a grand effort to watch the hoops.

     

     

    I won’t make Sunday again by the looks of it, working :(

    My Ghirl starts her first job on Monday, trainee accountant, chuffed to bits for her as she worked really hard at college, so no Brazen Head after the game for her :)

    We are all royalists if that’s your take on things ….one set as part of the union …the other as an independent Scotland

  6. dena29,

     

     

    Sunday games are a nightmare for me, especially early kick offs, thanks for the congrats for my daughter.

     

     

    She fair cheered me up when she told me she will pay for her mobile phone bill now she will be working…:((

    I only know her through her work but time after time, anything that really was about anything, she seemed to be involved in

    Dena was telling me on Thursday, that she pays more to travel on the bus/ferry trips to Paradise than I paid for my return flight to Belfast last week. Saw her at Paradise yesterday and Thursday. I am skint after Belfast, Thursday and yesterday. Dena must be wealthy as ACGR suggests. She was talking to me about her maybe going to our away games again. Some lass! :)

    You’ve articulated a common frustration for many Celts. Thanks.

     

     

    Nobody’s shooting Niagara Falls in a barrel or planning a spacewalk this week, that I’ve noticed, so I’ve sent a ten-spot to help a good rattlin’ bhoy.

    I’m sure most of us there on such an occasion would be singing something else at that moment.

    2-0. Beautiful goal by Icardi. Beat a defender and bent the ball into top left corner with his left foot. Cracker.

    Did you see the ease with which the “singing bar MAN” multi tasked .

    I didn’t know uncle Sipsini could moonwalk says Roo.

     

    Uncle Sipsini taught Michael Jackson all his dance moves, says I.

     

    In the Savoy Dad?

     

    Yes Son. He’s not called ‘Sav Sips Snake Hips’ for nothing you know.

    Uncanny!

     

     

    You couldn’t repeat your “looks like a matter of time till Inter concede” on Thursday evening, but replace ” Inter “with “Celtic”, could you??

  16. A stalwart. Particularly given her background. Right up there with the Gareth Pierces of this world. Where ever injustice was she was on the other side Co founded the Dubble joint theatre company with Marie Jones.

     

    May she rest in peace

    How are Inter fairing defensively ….hanging on ??

     

    ………………………

     

     

    Their defence were stubbornly keeping Cagliari at bay before scoring their second. Cagliari have a young Belgian striker who is running at the Inter defence and having a lot of success. Several Cagliari attempts were beaten out to the edge of the box with the ball dropping at an awkward height resulting in the shots from midfielders going high over the bat.

    I think the main source of my dad’s incredulity and amazement (or amaze-balls-ness as you young things call I!) was that you’d managed to source such an understanding husband!

     

     

    Apart from that he just went around saying, which one’s Sipsini???

    Defensive error by Inter for that one. Mpoku, the young Belgian comes near again. Having a great game for Cagliari.
