What a club, what a support. Just incredible.

In time we will forget, but for much of Celtic’s 0-9 win at Tannadice earlier this season, Dundee United held their own and forced the champions off their game.  An early Kyogo goal provoked United into action.  It was Kyogo’s second, on the 40th minute, that did the damage.  Before the break it was 0-4.

That game was Jack Ross’ seventh and final game in charge and eclipsed their 0-7 reversal in Alkmaar two weeks earlier.  In the vernacular, United ‘chucked it’.  We could expect a change in attitude when, after the players got their way, they arrived at Celtic Park in November.  The visitors levelled on 87 minutes, only to be denied a point by the team that never, ever, chucks it.

Since the World Cup break, United have lost only once in six outings, a home defeat to Newco.  That run took them off the bottom of the table; they are now tied on 20 points with Kilmarnock and Motherwell, three above Ross County.

Fully rested and in great form, I expect no problems for Celtic on Sunday.  United can look back on their early season woes and comfort themselves with the fact that at least their 7-1 aggregate hammering came to the team currently second in the Dutch league, whereas another Scottish club had the same outcome over two games against the fifth-place Eredivisie side.

Paradise Pit Stop

Every now and then the Celtic FC Foundation, YOUR Foundation, does something that stops me in my tracks.  With the cost-of-living crisis having such an effect, from next week they will open the doors to Celtic Park lounges on Monday and Thursday evenings, when volunteers from the club and Foundation will serve food, provide warm shelter and facilities for kids to play and study.

Celtic cannot solve the problems of poverty, but opening their doors twice a week to provide warm food and shelter to the needy is an incredible act which reflects our founding principles.  If you are involved in this, well done.  If you can only contribute monetarily, your efforts are invaluable.

What a club, what a support.  Just incredible.

    As an English man, I am really disappointed with how this is being handled. I apologize to the Irish as I feel ashamed

    As an Englishman , you’re as much to blame as the current Prime Minister.

    If all don’t mind.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    A wee trio of 70’s cassics.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Bowie, Marc Bolan and Slade.

     

    ………………

     

     

    I was a massive T-REX Fan and I saw them ” LIVE” in Glasgow in 1971 and 1972. BOTH Gigs were SUPERB. Wee MARC was at his best from 1970 to 1973, until Drink and Drugs gotta hold of him.

     

    Some of the songs that he brought out from 1973 onwards, were so poor that I STOPPED buying any T – REX Records.

     

    It was a very sad time for me, and maybe some other T – REX fans to witness MARC going downhill….after all the excitement of 1970 to 1973, when the Gigs were labelled…” TREXASTY”…those ere truly great days.

     

    ” ECTASTY”…became T-REXTASTY…..Excuse my SPELLING !

     

     

    I also saw SLADE TWICE ” LIVE”….they were also super duper.

     

    I never saw BOWIE….One of my regrets.
