I looked out my window last night and it was dark. This morning it was light. I’m still an ugly so and so and Kyle Lafferty is still a c*nt. The world has continued spinning and nothing has really changed.
So what did we learn from that cack yesterday?
1) We started poor and got poorer. The game was not lost on the pitch but in the minds of players who believed that they were Billy Big Times. They were out-done by a proven bunch of inconstant vagabonds who ran a bit faster and tried a bit harder.
2) The only Celtic fan to have enjoyed Charlie Mulgrew’s very public meltdown was Michelle Mone. Him and Forster joined the impressive linage of Chuckle Brothers impersonators that we have seen down the years. Though Mulgrew should have cleared the ball the Goalie for me takes most of the blame.
3) What is it with Lanarkshire after derby successes? Two comprehensive wins followed by 5 dropped points. Our three defeats this season have been deserved. When we are poor we’re poor. All have seen us not turn up or even look like we have been introduced to each other. As long as they only happen after long unbeaten runs we can’t really moan about them.
4) Last weeks FFT’s mentioned the balance of power being shifted. It stopped dead in it’s tracks yesterday. Good week for R*ngers, a win via the snooker route in Europe then a Sunday that saw last weeks humiliation rendered null and void. FFS, they may fancy it on Wednesday now….
5) A few weeks back we all watched Darren Randolph do anything bar try and save wave after wave of R*ngers attack. The only thing he didn’t do was throw one into the net himself. Yesterday, he saved everything that was thrown at him, which wasn’t that much. Such is life eh?
Stuart McCall called Celtic out yesterday. Though he looks like a bloated alkie remodelling himself with spare mask of Mrs Doubtfire he targeted our complacency and deserves credit; the f*cking prick. Mulgrew being beasted by Sutton and Lizzy McGuire looking human were all down to his tactics.
Yes, it was THAT bad a day.

The tide is still turning in our direction but not as fast as we would like. 🙂
Come on the Celts!
I heard Lenny talk about ‘Keystone Kops’ defending not so long ago, but this week-ends Camberwick Green* defending takes some beating!
Who?you?Charlie Mulgrew? Forster dribbled and gubbed!!
Shocking stuff and very painful to watch.
* Ok, somebody correct me, was it Trumpton?
to me the goal was a combination of poor defending from Mulgrew, a poor pitch that didn’t carry the ball towards the keeper as fast as it should, and the keeper who should have came out for it as it was clear Mulgrew was leaving it
one of these things was always going to happen
Have to say LOTW that after the cup match last week I thought the game was up for Rangers. Then they looked tired and clueless.
What a difference a week makes. Had the ‘tic won yesterday I would have made them strong favourites for tomorrows replay, now I’m becoming cautiously hopeful. At least of a decent showing.
On the other hand, is it a wake up call for some of the Celtic players who may have become complacent? I think Celtic will shade on the basis of it being a home game, but we live in hope.
‘mon the ‘gers.
How about one of these SPL teams stand up to Rangers for a change the way they seem to stand up to Celtic! Week after week they all just fold up against the, not so good Rangers!
