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

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS

=======================================
I thought it was an automated word recognition thing but I’d asterisked the b’turd word out, beyond me??
Bawsman,
Maybe the word ‘feinian’ triggers their filter.
Maybe it’s the incorrect name for where Raith play?
My money is on the former ;)
BSR, was that the 1st tee at Aberdour in 2014, where could I see the photies of that fine day?

twisted my ankle that day,on the 4th fairway I think, hobbled round the rest.

Is a “feinian” only someone pretending to be a Tim? ;-)
Thank you bhoys for replies !!
First trip to Hampden since the League Cup Final of 82′ ! Beat the Rangers (RIP) 2-1 !!
My Hampden debut was the Scottish Cup final riot of 1980 !!
I am expecting a more sedate experience this time !!! Hail Hail.
oneofthe70percent,
Sometimes I refer to some posters on here as a “Trumpet”.Not insultingly,by the way.It just has a kind of funny ring to it,I think.You are a T!T.Nothing funny or jocular about this.In fact,you are a complete one.Last time I respond to you.
LiviBhoy,
Re-read my initial post, which comes across as abrupt.
Apologies as that was never my intention.

Any idea if it’s on council tv or sky ?

I would settle for two draws this week
4:4 in San Siro and 0:0 at CP.
There is more necessity for Aberdeen to win, than us.
They are running out of games to close the gap, and for this reason they have to take something out the game.
If they draw, and all other games go with form, then they would have to beat us at Pitoddrie later in season and look for snookers to claw back deficit.
Their need to win, will mean they will open up, and we will beat them.
Sadly, I think reverse will hold true in Milan.

I didn’t mind the trolling but the lack of basic arithmetic skills did for me. I blame the schools.

In my opinion this week for Celtic is all about making the best use of our player pool on Thursday if we have to have any chance at all we will have to play the game at a very high tempo for 90 plus minutes. We need to get into the Inter players faces and not allow them to stroke the ball around while at the same time we need to find a way to score a goal or two while keeping the back door tightly closed so all in all it is going to be a hard shift for the players.Now if we succeed on knocking Inter out of the tournament it will obviously put us on a high for Sunday but to be honest it is more likely we will leave Italy on a bit of a downer over an Inter win.So on Sunday some players will have to be built up to forget Thursday and forget tiredness and some fresh legs will need to be brought in as Aberdeen will surely be up for the game.However,should Celtic win both games Rony and the Bhoys will be heroes and Rony will have justified the faith of those few who have always believed in him. H.H.

Agree on your preferred results.
However, I think they will only open up a bit on Sunday in the last 20 minutes if it’s level, as they won’t see a draw as a knock-out blow, with us still having to visit Pittodrie.
They’ll play it tight in the first half, looking for mistakes to capitalise on and set pieces, I think.

As do I.To think my mother and father,god rest them,worked 12 jobs a week each to give me a 1st class education,only for me to converse with a dolt.Never,never,and thrice never,shall I do so again.
There ye are,wee man.
Most of the problem with this legislation rests with the word ‘sectarianism’. I was involved in the early consultation for the first legislation and pointed this out to Jim Wallace who was leading the consultation. My point was that the word should be ‘bigotry’ as everyone knew what that meant but ‘sectarianism’ was a much vaguer term.In the shambles which followed ,this view was shared by Si Tom Devine and several senior legal persons. However, we stumble on ,with the vaguery leading to confusion and mis-carriages of justice.
a know its early but looking for spares for the cup final

I only worry about Celtic mate and I know for a fact we are the better team, have better players and are playing well. All that considered we’ll win more games than every other team in the league including aberdeen that’s why I’m 100% sure win.lose or draw on Sunday we’ll win the league HH
All the earlier chat about add-ons in songs got me smiling at an incident on my stag do.
The song in question was the Fields of Athenry. I’m sure of you know that when the line “against the famine and the crown” is sung the add-on of “f*** the crown” is bellowed out by some.
Well, as I was saying this being my stag-do and we had had a right few pints my cousin was a bit worst for wear.
The singer started singing ‘The Fields’ and the bar fell silent.
The singer gets to the line “for you stole Trevions(sp) corn” and my cousin, getting his lines mixed up, lets out a massive “f*** the corn”
Cue the laughter from everyone in the bar, including the singer.
A big reddy was the order of the day
He still gets ribbed about it to this day and we all sing his famous line now as a homeage to him :-)

The League Cup Final,is on the same day as Mother’s Day………..might be an idea to get some groundwork in before then bhoys…….
Why didn’t they just make the game 08.00 on Sunday, to really ‘stick it’ to us…..sheep get up early, anyway…..hahahaha

No punishment for the Burnley players’ “tackles” on Matic or Ivavovic,the FA obviously slapping Mourinho down with that one.

After the Civil War, Peadar Kearney no longer took an active role in politics.He returned to his house painting job and settled in Inchicore in Dublin where he died in relative poverty in 1942. His sister Kathleen was the mother of writers Brendan Behan and Dominic Behan.
*the latter wrote among others:

Jim Wallace said his proudest moment in public life was when as Deputy First Minister he presented the Scottish Cup (League Cup?) to his beloved Rangers at Hampden!
The Scottish Football Association has agreed a partnership with World Cup 2022 hosts Qatar, with the Qatari FA saying there will be “an enhanced relationship in order to improve the football system in both Qatar and Scotland”.
Eh????
