I now have to explain the large cat-sized hole in the ceiling to the wife!
Just how does Celtic manage to get themselves out of the fire with such stoic consistency? Yesterday the commentator on the Radio said with 30 secs of added time to go "don't write Celtic off" and I thought that he was just having a laugh, that there was no way we would escape with the draw that we deserved but yet again Strachan's Celtic proved me wrong.
Cue bedlam in houses across the land with pets simultaneously hitting the ceiling across Timdom and dogs running for cover in other areas. That must have been a lovely little pre-match gift for TFOD having their last glasses of Buckfast prior to heading to the Death Star. How do you like them apples?
Just where does Celtic get this ability to find a goal when they really need to, and more importantly how do they have the mental and physical strength to find a goal at the last gasp. Yesterday's last gasp goal was the 14th time that Strachan's Celtic have managed to find a goal in the last period of a match that either secured a draw or a victory! A lot of this could probably be attributed to the training style of the Manager coupled with the Sports Science expertise of Gregory Dupont and his team but where do they get the mental resolve to dig it out when it matters?
Meanwhile, wee Nacho decided to vent his fury regarding Celtic's late winner with an X-rated two footed lunge on a Hibernian player whose name is too hard to spell at this time of the day and I am too lazy to look it up. It would also appear that Wattie let his anger flow after the match, attempting to take it out on big Mixu Put-a-line-on. Very dignified Walter! If "the Hibs bench over-reacted to the tackle" then what was your reaction to their reaction Walter? Enjoy your visit to Mount Florida!
And finally, Celtic fans best pal Sepp Blatter made comment on Celtic's bid to join a more financially lucrative league "The idea of Celtic and Rangers moving down south has often been muted but world football's governing body would not endorse it.
'It would be detrimental to Scotland if the two best teams leave to try and play in England.
It is also good for the political aspects that the British Associations keep their different leagues."
Looks like we are staying here for the foreseeable, or are we?
Yours in Celtic
