Post Match Session: Motherwell(a); Decanted Newsamble: Huns(h)
A Celtic player celebrates the last time we scored against r*ngers..circa 1891
My self imposed exile of all things media, in light of the could be unfolding horror, has made me find a few interesting things. I have discovered a great band called I Am Kloot (listen to the song called "Proof"), started to worry about the fate of DC Utd who have started their season badly and my obsession wie all things Bundesliga 2, well St Pauli (who look safe from relegation) has reached its peak.
This morning I had the "pleasure" of hearing Spew Heevins for all of 10 seconds. As soon as the Ol* F*rm tag was mentioned and his monotone was going to start the cliched shite, I knew the exile would continue. In fact, I now know that all I need is the BBC and Newsnow.
So how are we looking in this week of cliched shite? Yesterday saw us dispose of a Motherwell side who, played better than they did last week- when they got three points- but came up against a side that was more creative in the final third, set plays were better- three goals from set plays-, got it's tactics spot on and was "up" for it.
The main difference between last week and this week was that we got the breaks in front of goal. The ba' dropped for us, thankfully, cause when you were like us struggling to score we needed the break of McManusdona punching the ba' into the net. We huvnae all of a sudden turned into Brazil 70. In fact, all we can take from yesterday is 4 goals and the fact we showed a bit of heart after last week looking like a defeated team.
So what do the savages that double as the press say....
And so the scene is set. Wednesday's Old Firm encounter, earlier viewed in many quarters as solely Rangers' opportunity to all-but secure the Scottish Premier League title, now also represents a genuine chance for Celtic to reignite hopes of a race worthy of the name to the finishing line. The Guardian
Celtic made a belated statement of intent here. An emphatic, unceremonious pounding of Motherwell confirmed that the defending champions will not relinquish their Clydesdale Bank Premier League title with a whimper. The Herald
CELTIC secured the win required to keep their faint title hopes alive and in doing so posted a performance which provided some succour for Gordon Strachan. The Scotsman
THREE years ago Scott McDonald ripped the SPL trophy from Martin O'Neill's grasp with the goals that made the helicopter change direction. Daily Ragger
It was not a beautiful game but we did the best we could. We played common-sense football today.“The league looks after itself. It is just the fact that we scored some goals. We can breathe a bit easier and not go away scratching our heads. Gordon Strachan
The Goals
So can we go into Wednesday, which is the biggest game since the last Glesga derby, wie renewed hope? The fact that we were sliced open on numerous occasions and that Arfur was the called into action mair times that he had been recently- another I'm actually quite good quote from GS- is a worry.
Added to that the curse of the El Cairdo. A curse that has afflicted oor team like daylight kills vampires. A curse that means 52,000 Tims will probably celebrate a corner kick on Wednesday night. A curse that means getting the first goal on Wednesday as important as keeping a clean sheet.
360 minutes wieoot a goal. 300 minutes wieoot looking like scoring a goal. I have used Bloggers discretion there. We had a decent number of chances the last time Der Hun came over to oor place in the first half and I will give us a wee 15 min spell two weeks ago. Other than that? Sod all.
That needs to change. For that to change we need to score first. R*ngers have not lost a derby when they have scored first in 15 years. They have also scored the first goal in 25 games this season and won 24 of them.
Us, we huvnae scored in the last three home games. We struggle against teams that are compact, tight and willnae come oot their ain half. I think we have a big big problem on Wednesday as their is mair chance of Pete Docherty coming oot of jail than Der Hun. They'll settle for a draw we canny settle for anything else other than 3 points.
I don't care how we score. Off Skippy's arse. Off Ugly Betty's bucked teeth. A deflected arsehole winder from Gary Caldwell. We must score first. Oor fragile confidence willnae handle going a goal doon and the consumer venom that will seep from the stands. The stats show that the game is over if they score first.
So, it's glad to see Paul Hartley talking like a true fan when he is talking aboot the hurt of defeat. It's not as if he needs to site on a building site wie fat arsed crack showing builders winding him up but I'm sure he dreads a Tuesday night in Karbon when Der Huns are pulling the pish. At least they can laugh at Alan McGregors tattoo...but, I'm sure they would rather laugh at Der Huns losing the league or getting a skelping from us.
As usual you get auld "legends" being trotted oot like Peter The Pointer saying we can do it and some guy called Larsson saying that Neil Lennon returning is great for the club. I'm hoping as well lhads. I'm hoping Neil Lennon is telling Hartley you are the heir to his throne and telling Robson that he can follow in the proud tradition of gingers to get one over Der Hun.

In fact I'm looking for a Hunskelper. Any takers?

Hunskelper?
I fancy
Paddy Nak to nick the winnin' goal
(and this ol' man can come rolling home).
Don't know if he's ginger tho' - have to ask Mizz Uno.
:o)
Come the hour, come the Celt! We are at our beloved Celtic Park and due a win. Let it happen. :-)
Poor joke six.....
Hunskelper.....
The Ginga Naka. Scored against Barca in his first big game for us. Fancy him again.
How I wish we had Sutty and BBJ....
13 links in this decanted newsamble....mair links than a butchers shop.
DC United? E tu Kevin? C'mon the Yellow "Soccer" team on Thursday!
My pick for the hero of Wednesday...Skippy McDonald, to make amends for a certain goal in 2004, starts one of the greatest comebacks in "Auld Firm" history.
13 links and ya can't work in a link to a certain US Celtic blog? :-D
Matt: Ok, first things first, I only eat spam on my sandwiches at work.......yer blog says I am a spammer and any comment I leave is coming back wie a nasty spam filter message.
I tried to E-Mither you at the site...but it came back undelivered. So the question has to be asked...do you exist?:-)
DC Utd.....D from the D Centres blog has done some work for us when the hoops have toured the USA. He also contacted the blog regarding a small wager, which he we lost due to Celtic losing to DC a few seasons back.
So LOTW's MLS team is DC United. So, Vamos UTD :-)
13 links.....and all were offside eh? Ha Ha, will get in you in the next post match session mate
Also...there is no such thing as the "ol* f*rm" we have nuthin incommon wie them except we share a city.
I and a lot of others feel the term is used to lump us both together when talking aboot their sectarian problem.
It's never r*ngers problem, it's always an ol* f*rm problem. It's a lazy term. One used to peddle the shite that one as bad as the other.
Remember kids say no to the ol* f*rm.
Was thinking today, what Celtic team will show up tomorrow. We as unpredictable as mongoose on acid and are walking a tightrope like a one-legged man wie cramp.
Again, lose we only have oorselves to blame. Win, It's awe doon to oor Ginga special one in the trackie!!!! (That's what he will say anyway)
Mair improtantly...fives tonight, trackie bottoms or do I give the legs an airing? It's a nice night...
Aye, the spam filter is shite on the site. Not sure what to do about, perhaps I should contact the guys running the site.
I agree about the "O** F***" title as well, but it slips from time to time.
I was never given an email, so perhaps I don't exist!
Matt: I had written a monster of a post too. It would have claimed the booker prize hands down. Or it would have been a tome like post on CQN....
But like The Who's long lost album it will never see the light of day as it floats through cyberspace looking for a home....
Aye, conatct yer paymasters.....
Trackies won bhoys.....if yer interested. Legs are still a bit to white......
He plays on the left
He plays on the right
KevinG's legs....are just too white.
So they sing....
oh "yellow soccer team"? Colombus Crew by chance?
trackies?
shocking only in deepest darkest winter should the trackies be worn ha-ha.
i was playing 7's tonite with my lovely big white legs on show and it was a lovely nite.
i fancy 2-0 and jvofh tomorrow but agree we need to score 1st.
is that right regarding them not losing a game against us they have scored 1st in in 15 years.
i wouldn't have known that.
i'm going to try and think of one where it happened.
I think the game that Frank Conner took us to Ibrox when Macari was ready to take over. I remember him saying that Brian O`Neill shouldn`t have gone up for the corner in the last minute and worrying if he was the right man for the job. :-)
About time we won this home game. Come on the Celts!
Forza
Aye, the Crew. DC and Columbus play this Thursday on primetime tv here in the states! ESPN 2.
You're not the first one to be lost in cyber space with that site sadly, but hopefully the boss gets back to me and sorts it out. Wouldn't want to deprive my readers of their daily KevinG wisdom...
Must win
Must win
Must win
Repeat till kick off then I am going to get drunk watching the match.
Apparently on der Hubbleboard, Hartley is a doubt, however Radio Clyde apparently saying he is OK???? If missing, please no Mo Mo Strachan.
God I am nervous, Hail Hail one and all
ABD! Good to hear that Hartley is ok, as he's gonna be a key today I feel!
