Good EveningĀ
Like a good punch up at a wedding we have developed a right guid community spirit over the last few days on this blog. Like on such occasions we will look back on it all misty eyed and sober and proclaim: “That was a good night”.
Ā Ok, maybe we are going to disagree, hurl insults and snide abuse but we all know that it’s for the greater good and for the one goal. If all our opinions were the same we would be a lesser blog. That’s entertainment as Mr Wellar once said and lets ensure that never happens.
Ā Few folk have been in touch wondering how to get a profile pic when posting comments. These dudes www.gravatar.com will sort you out. Let’s see how you see yourself.
Ā 5 Facts from yesterday? On we go.
1) We need some controversy.Ā Last season we had Dougiegate and assorted other crusades. We need to develop a siege mentality. Surely being 10 points behind and a large section of your own fans turning on you is reason enough?
2) The game was a typical early morning Sunday morning affair. It was drab and like ITV2 devoid of any decent content. We threatened to be decent, thought about it then decided we couldn’t be bothered.
Much like the start of our season, which at best can be described as stuttering. Defeats at Poundland and Swinecastle are no surprises but the freakish home defeat to St Johnstone gives our league position a more precarious location.
I think it’s easy to explain. We lack constancy of selection. Injuries and some bemusing decisions are the reason for this. Sort that out, we sort ourselves out.
3) Re above, seemingly when Hooper and Stokes have started we have won 7 out of 7. When the love birds haven’t been paired we have failed to win.
4) I often refer back to my days as the greatest unused sub in the Welfare League for analogies. Sometimes James Forrest just reminds me of that little boy who only gets a game because he can run a bit fast with very little noticeable talent or confidence.
5) If we needed a metaphor to sum up the first round of games then the sight of Dan waddling around up front like Sloth from The Goonies surely confirmed it as slightly embarrassing and disappointing.
Player ratings? After a word from our nice sponsor.
Morning,
No night shift last night?
Disappointed.
I listened to the game on radio and think that Hearts scored every time they attacked in the second half. Moving Dan up front really annoyed me. Keep the shape! š
As for ITV2, I agree except for `the Real Housewives…`
Aw well, as long as I keep it mostly to myself.
Come on the Celts!
They did score with their only two attacks.
The Real Housewives of Orange County? Is that about Senga and Maggie Fae Larkhall?
It`s the New Yorkers on just now while they rest in the OC. `It is what it is!` (only one of the useless phraes to pick up). I`m done! š
Better off watchig repeats of ‘On The Buses’ on ITV4.
Stokesy- 2/10.
He was a tough guy to dispossess when he played against Celtic. Has he lost the ability to protect the ball as well as score goals?
In the words of Blur:
“Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as (PARKLIFE)”
There is a few that need to embrace that.
Its been nearly 48 hours since the disappointment of abject showing against the Gorgie Orcs, I’ve neatly packed away my Leonard Cohen cds, put the Ambian back in the medicine cabinet and am now looking for positive things from the recent underwhelming displays, without a doubt Victor Wanyama looks like a very good acquisition, Charlie Mulgrew continues to impress even more so considering the stick he received from some fans last year (including myself), Kris Commons looked like….well Kris Commons again on Sunday as well, so theres three things that have slightly eased my angst on this blustery Tuesday afternoon x x
I have got a new valium prescription. They are purple, And they work.
The positives you mention were there on Sunday, this was Commons best performance of the season, Victor did well and Chico was just Chico.
The Commons one could be mute as he has been shit this season.
Love the pic.
Where are Celtic Daft and Tim? Have they blown themselves out?
š
International weeks are pish.
New posts this evening.
until then read this

That guy is the highlight of the CU site and podcast. Brilliant
Also, this was mentioned in the post match scumbo blog
Part One of our hunbelievable March double, one week later and Anton Rogan sent Celtic on the way to glory and we savoured a 3-0 victory, the last thing we had to cheer about until the scintillating and monumental 4-2 win against St Johnstone in the Tennents Sixes (well I was happy to celebrate any piece of silverware, maybe they should reinstate that tournament)x x
The T6’s (as they would now be named). Aye, they only chance during the early 90’s to see football ‘LIVE’ on the telly outwith Cup Final day.
Joe Miller was born to play 6’s.
