Ricky Foster, one of many ex-Ibrox players who has found a “home” on the national broadcaster, continues to demonstrate that their over-reliance on “analysis” from that particular cross-section of the populace is as limited as it is stupid.
Talking tonight in the aftermath of Celtic’s defeat in Norway, he said that our club will be “desperate” for the Ibrox club to progress in Europe, presumably in order that they have more games to play than we do.
It’s a witless comment to say the least.
For one thing, I don’t know many Celtic fans who would agree with that. I for one would be grateful not to see the press go into over-drive with what a “turning point” it would be in their season. It hardly needs pointing out that Celtic fans certainly don’t want them getting the benefits of another full house at Ibrox, as well as UEFA prize money.
It also suggests that both teams go the distance in the Scottish Cup; if the Ibrox club is knocked out in the next room – as we dearly hope they will be – and we get to the final, then in the event they go through tonight but come a cropper in the next round we’ll play the exact same number of games as them between now and the campaign closing out.
So what is his rationale? It is based on utter nonsense, some suggestion that we fear playing them on an equal game-by-game footing, which we most certainly don’t. The skewed fixture list concerns me, but in the end we’ll focus on doing our own job and if we continue winning our games then really, it doesn’t matter a damn what happens over there.
But Foster has brought his entire brain to bear on this “issue” and come up with a conclusion that as far as I’m concerned is simply a waste of the IQ points.
He should have spent it on something more useful, something less taxing. He is not cut out for this analysis stuff, which is probably why he fits in perfectly amidst their new found enthusiasm for jokers and clowns and other assorted loon-balls.
By that train of thought, we wanted Celtic to lose this tie to help our fixture list !?!
Clueless
I watched some of the Sevco mob’s game. Totally committed to beating the former fave’s for the Cup. Watched us earlier and felt mixed in the attitude. A good team to start, not the best,but could try and perhaps get something. Ange brings on our main Bhoys, why?, who knows tie was done. We’ll be fresher come Sunday as that lot put everything into their win. Kind of like the season of Euro brilliance, home form shite pre the Covid title of last year. Disapointed, yes, despondent?- no.
Yes we should keep fresh legs for Sunday as more important now HH
And who exactly are you to speak ill of the great Richard Foster?
Do you think he only wears those big giant glasses to LOOK intelligent?
Actually, maybe you’re right!
The man is a fuckin fanny,blue nosed fuckwit.
Another hun tho he worse as he a wannabe one ! The poison hate him! Remember he had loads a hassle several times in town from the vile hoards of mordor, sums up mr amy McDonald! Guy is a walloper
Another reason I dont fund that organisation and never will , it’s full of huns and they openly show it now
And I like any Real Celt never wants they cretins to win any game ! Never! And when they play their diet wannabes from Edinburgh the purple huns well my only regret in that situation is that both cant lose!
Well am a celtic supporter and I was hoping sevco got to the next round after we hot beat.
It should mean 2 games at least where we should play on the Saturday and having them play catch up on the Sunday.
I don’t want the poxy team from Ibrox to progress in anything, under any circumstances. Not until they changes their ways from the hatred they embrace and clean up their act.
There! That’s said Forster. Do you understand that?
I’m OK with them progressing and us being out of Europe – for this season only.
We should be aiming to overachieve in Europe like Bodo – and even Ajax eventually.
So, at season end it could be a similar scenario: our team has been very successful domestically – but will the Board continue to invest in the summer to support meaningful progress in Europe?
Both performances against Bodo were painful – but timely – reminders that we are still some way off on the European stage.
Ange needs the Board to match his ambitions in the summer transfer window.
Not only do I hope they get beat every time they play, I wish for them to not exist completely. Sadly I can’t them being liquidated any time soon, but would be sweet if I’m wrong.
Totally we should bought and bulldozed that breeding ground hellhole of hate! And we could have! I rather never see or play anything that comes from there utter poison! Tho they are enabled by organisations all through ” brigadoon” Scotland! Disgraceful but they live to hate! Makes me sick to the stomach nothing for us with that posion
