When the full-time whistle went at Ibrox on Saturday, I am sure there were two separate thoughts doing the round and round in the brains of the Subway Loyal; the first was that they were top of the league having scored four goals.
The second was that there was no way whatsoever that we were going to match that yesterday to go back top.
Ha! I know a lot of them thought that, in fact, Kilmarnock might be the place where we dropped points for the first time. That hope was erased when Kyogo scored early.
There was no way that we weren’t going to win from that point on.
The question was; could we go out match their four goals? Well, of course we could.
We bettered it in fact, because that’s what this team does.
They go big, we go bigger. And we didn’t even do it with them in mind, we are just in that headspace now where this team is capable of surpassing the opposition without breaking a sweat.
The focus we have is absolute. This team does not get distracted by anything.
I talk a lot on this site about psychology. It must be un-nerving for them to have hit four at home the other day and then to realise that we had hit five, away from home.
Especially to a team who they struggled against at home last weekend.
They know we’re the best team in the country. That has to be clear to them, no matter how much they try to convince themselves to the contrary. That has to play on their minds.
On days like today it has to sap into their own personal confidence and convictions.
That makes your legs a little heavier in training, it makes the running that little bit harder, the effort that little bit tougher to make, that knowledge that maybe, just maybe, it doesn’t matter how hard you push it, it doesn’t matter how good you can be … because someone else is just better. Someone else is just more capable.
That must be soul-destroying, and they better get used to it.
We even scored from corners. I wish someone would learn how to score direct from a free kick. With the amount of talent in that team it should not be too difficult to get a ball over a wall and towards goal with Kyogo and Maeda following in
Yeah, yesterday’s result was a real boot in the baws to Them. They did not see that result coming and they all thought that, after their own game on Saturday,they would remain top of the league.
GIRFUY!
You notice that guy that calls himself ” sean” ( aye right then)! Is never here on days like today hmmm makes you wonder eh!! Not!! Hail Hail going romp this league and possibly another Treble!! We are good at them eh especially since a team called ” the rangers ” came into this league eh sean!??????
Ignore questions marks was a typo
Bicycle kick goals are probably the most difficult and the scarcest goals in football anywhere. Your chosen team will be lucky to score one of them once or twice a year, and we got two in one game.
Showboating anyone? 🙂
…and one of them nutmegged the keeper on the way in. Showboating? Nah…
MEGA-SHOWBOATING AND WHY NOT? GET IT RIGHT UP EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE LEAGUE!!!
On a slightly different topic. On Saturday, when Tillman, an Ibrox player scored, he ran over to the crowd. I saw no commentators in the media insisting that he should be booked for this transgression. The previous week, when a Celtic player did the same thing, they were adamant that he should be shown a yellow card, which, together with his previous booking, would then be aggregated to a red.
What is the difference?
Quite clearly, it is not about an impartial enforcement of the regulations. It is simply the quest for anything which could disadvantage Celtic!
I was thinking the exact same we aren’t just on top of them in the league we are above them in everything including psychologically HH
