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.

Appalling that Scotland is prepared to put up with blatant hunnery.
Backward, oranj masonic racist nuggets.
What are other clubs’ fans saying about the refereeing/VAR controversies?
Is it the usual garbage about the Old Firm always getting the benefit?
Or is it a bit more perceptive than that?
Might be wrong .
Is that 3 players sent off against then in the last 5 or 6 matches ?

Martindale is a horrible wee scrote.

It’s not so far away. It’s in the Calton. Used to run from the Gallowgate to London Road, first street past Abercromby if you’re asking from Salamanaca street.
And I don’t disagree, but disallowed penalties and phantom offside calls will no longer be enough.

Asking? Walking.

“Martindale is a horrible wee scrote.”
I’m not so sure about that…I quite like him. He’s done very well at Livingston, I’d like to see how he does at another club.
Oh on the bench today.

As i am sure you know, the fans of other clubs will be saying what our media tells them to say.

Have you just discovered you are a sub for today`s game?
Ben Doak starts for Liverpool at Brighton.
The fans of other clubs swallow the ‘old firm’ get decisions delusion.
HOT SMOKED
Had to think about that one 🤣
Collum yesterday was an affront to fair play, no doubt at all.
However, those who seek a review, are from a different planet. Who exactly will run it. You’ve guessed it, the Lanarkshire Ludge lot.
If Celtic complain, well they would wouldn’t they.
Since Donald Duck was an egg, this sick anti catholic/Irish thing has been with us, and to think that will ever change then you are in dreamland, it ain’t ever.
The guts of Scotland is rotten to the core and hatred of us is so overwhelming, we are on a hiding to nothing I feel.
One thing I do not understand though is why clubs other than Celtic get together, if they did , maybe something might be done, I seriously doubt it somehow.

What’s our allocation for the Tony Macaronni stadium.
Edinburgh huns have 5000. The stadium looks all like Edinburgh huns.

The stench in Livingstone must be unbareable.

Sorry you couldn`t get to the game today. I almost feel I am taking your place !
Anyway, I am off for the game now.
Cheerio.
Hail ! Hail !
Josip straight into the Union Berlin line-up last week (now just 1 point off top spot in the Bundesliga), Jenz straight into the Schalke line-up today.

Don’t know why they didn’t sell tickets behind that goal, looks terrible. Anyway gave the game 10 minutes and switched off, the standard of football was appalling 🥱
PP – I know I have switched over to Liverpool game whilst waiting on guys coming in for our game.
In the house for us today no pub.
D :)
Prestonpans
Yer not kidding J. Dreadful stuff.
Police watch on the Garngad. 🤣
HOT SMOKED
Enjoy ☘️
To paraphrase Jock Stein, only a fool would try to predict the result of a football match, but I will be disappointed and surprised if we don’t win 4-0.
Please, no VAR shenanigans.

I’m staying in my all inclusive caravan 🍻🥃to watch the game. I was tempted to go to Aberfoyle but pishing down, it wouldn’t even tempt BRRB oot……….

Paraphrase doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Other clubs remain silent because they know things will even themselves out when they play Celtic. If we complain about the cheating the situation will just get worse. “Shut up Celtic and take your medicine ” has always been the message. The only way we will receive fair treatment is when we are no longer part of Scottish football.
BRRB – Ya rascal ye.
PP – enjoy although if there is drink I am sure Mr Big Rail Road Blues would find away of getting there.

I tried to watch the Livi v Hearts game but it’s just not football. It’s like watching Bambi on ice as players have to move so carefully.
If Sky’s SPFL double header this afternoon was supposed to attract interest from non _ Scottish fans, they are on to plums.
Dancing on Ice is more fun than this

Looked at the HT stats, 4 shots between them and one on target. Think the English audience will be watching Liverpool.
That Hearts v Livingston game is awful ! I see the first horse in Big Jimmy’s mugs double has won at 9-1 🐎

……………..
Aye mate….the Horse ” NORMAN FLETCHER” WON at odds of 8/1.

Im hopeful for the horse in the SOUTHWELL 3.35 Race ” DEFINITE GETAWAY” will also win to get the MUGS DOUBLE UP !
HH.
I couldnt find the MUGS Forecast in NORMAN FLETCHERS Race…………DOH !
To completely and utterly misquote Jock Stein, only a fool would try to predict the result of a football match, but I will be disappointed and surprised if we don’t win 4-0.
Please, no VAR shenanigans.
if we assume us and the hun will finish first and second and the other clubs are fighting amongst themselves for the rest of the positions then the chances are that each of those clubs will be equally disadvantaged against them so theres no point in them complaining too much
it is only us that is materially disadvantaged by the cheating
Oh on the bench.
