I suppose the last time we all got a chance to reflect on how the team has done in a certain period was the winter break.
For Celtic, it’s been a mixed bag really, into the Scottish cup semi final and sitting with a 10 point lead at the top, obviously this can be cut to 9 points if Aberdeen win their game in hand.
I’m not going to polish a toalie, we haven’t been terrific in this period but we’ve done just enough to get to where we are and also secure the title. Last season we had the title mathematically secured on game 30 whereas this season we are still 4 wins away at least from that feat. We alsways knew we weren’t going to top last season but I guess the disappointment comes from the way we’ve been playing. I’d like to think with Roberts back and Rogic starting to find top form we will look much better in the closing stages but we’ll wait and see.
I’ll let the bears decide how the feel about how they have done in this period
Aberdeen will feel ok as well I suppose, back in pole position for 2nd place and also in the Scottish cup semi final.
Hibernian have the chance to move within 2 points of 2nd place if they win their game in hand too so Lennon will fancy his chances.
As ever, the international break will be boring and leave us wondering what to do with ourselves. I’m not sure watching that Scotland squad against Costa Rica tickles my fancy

I slept from half 6 last night until 8am this morning.
I'll never learn to go to bed at a reasonable hour when on the bevy

Shocker of a train journey home. Always the same on a Sunday.

Fwck off. The engines work and it’s not like there’s a jam with crashes and speeders ffs. Two rails and scheduled stops and you still fwck it up every time. Cwnts. 220 miles and nearly 5 fwcking hours. That’s an average of 44mph!!!!
Anyway. Got home and just caught the game. Went and got some food and the cats. Fed all of us and went to bed. Struggled getting up. 🙁

Felt like a game where the league had been wrapped up yesterday tbh. If there was only a few points in it I'd probably be more annoyed but not overly bothered. Only time that annoyed me was the Sinclair chance at the end.
The boy Tait for Motherwell was excellent. Made a few cracking last ditch tackles.
How was the big yin's wedding btw?

NNH - I agree with most of your OP, but our lead over Aberdeen will only be cut to 9 points is we lose our game in hand too .
Thought our corners were again horrible yesterday, Particularly from Oli - wtf was he thinking about?
Do we actually practise set-pieces at Lennoxtown?
Yesterday again showed we have a poor performance in our locker, ready to appear at any time. The players rightly got plaudits after their wins at Pittodrie and Ibrox, but too many of them turned up just expecting to stroll it. A competitive and aggressive Well team with good home form were never going to let that happen.

Must be a big locker mate because we've pulled an unbelievable amount of poor performances out of it already this season.

An hour I waited on a taxi. An hour past the time I had prebooked it for
Called them to be told bookings are still at the discretion of a driver wanting to do the pick up
St Paddy’s day meant it was a busy night for taxi’s. Took a jaunt up to collect my car yesterday and almost threw up twice on the way
