I think you'll find that Mike the Baptist will be offered more opportunity to 'maintain the gap'. The chances of him having to take in the delights of Stirling Albion or Stranraer seem remote indeed.
Big Jock New........that you had to beat 12 men every game, was not afraid to say so and made sure the players responded accordingly.
Wonder if the CPS/Strathclyde's Finest are following El Baptista to check his patterns of association.
Ooops, nearly passed out there holding my breath!

Should be a good game on Saturday, the Cousins of William are finding a bit of form and some of the Bhoys will be fighting for a place in the Barca game. 3-1 for the Bhoys Skippy first goal.

Excellent post, Paul, as this site is widely recognised as one of the more balanced Celtic forums, your post hits the nail on the head. It is what a lot of decent people have wanted aired for some time now, myself included, though to class myself in the decent bracket is pushing it. The Rev McCurry should hang his head in shame if he IS a man of God. The booking of nine of our players in one match, when we were spineless, says it all about the excuse for a man. High time people like him were put under scrutiny without the accusers themselves being accused of paranoia. Well said.

thats why we're paranoid!

from previous post
DBBIA, they were in with Phil (JRS) and I before and after the Aberdeen game last month. Andy was also there (he now lives in Warrington enjoying a life of leisure).
The McCurry stats jump out at you indeed. It remains to be seen if the old media pick up on this article in the same eager way they did with the "no clean sheet away from home" story.
Learning a lesson from Dumbhoy, I won't hold my breath.
-
Paul 67,
I presume the transfer story you're referring to is "McGeady advised to leave to become superstar"?
When I saw the headline screaming at me I thought, here we go again. So after reading the article in which Brian Kerr is interviewed I cannot actually locate the point when he advises him to leave.
Sure, he talks about worldwide recognition being more apparent with Henrik but as far as I can tell he is surmising that Aiden WON'T leave and is not critical of this.
-
Paul67.
I'm glad you've taken the bull by the horns and had a dig at the injustice Celtic suffer from the MIB,especially by the reverend McCurry,I'm maybe doing an injustice to the protestant faith, by calling him reverand,Charlatan would be more appropriate,for that evil man of the cloth.
Well said Paul,I hope you carry on having a go at them,when it's called for.
These people need to be highlighted when they Favour one team over another,but saying that,he seems to be favouring ONE team over all others.
-
Valencia Bhoy, this is the story I read on Fans FC. Like you, I could find nothing that advocated Aiden leaving Celtic.
Star McGeady set for lengthy Celtic stay
10:16 February, 15, 2008
Ex-Ireland boss Brian Kerr believes Aiden McGeady will be in no hurry to leave the Bhoys
The 21-year-old has come to the attention of a host of top clubs this season with some impressive displays, leading to fears that he may be leaving the Scottish champions.
Kerr told the Daily Record however: "Aiden is a Celtic fan and a Celtic kid, so you can see him staying there for the rest of his career.
"He wants to stay and if the lad enjoys the environment and playing regularly then he might be happy enough."
Sub/Chris,all going to plan, I should land about 4.30 and will probably make my way to BBs from the airport. I will look out for you

DBBIA :- You said "the line crosses into Ayrshire and the train has to stop at a dreary series of Godforsaken, Presbyterian Sh#tholes.
Substitute Lanarkshire for Ayrshire and Roman Catholic for Presbyterian and then think if it's still an acceptable comment.
Or is a comment only sectarian when made by a non Celtic fan?
People in Ayrshire are like people anywhere else, we have good bad and every mix in between.
-
Well Said P67 , great that you have run a lead article rather than have the stats remain buried in the blog.
Do we have any 'friends' in the old media brave enough to stick their heads above the parapet on this one?
Can Celtic send a dossier to UEFA or would they have to complain to the SPL first. We contribute so much cash to this league that its time we started throwing our weight. Cmon John Reid time to be a bulldog. No More McCurry at Celtic games and Highlight his favours in r*ngers games.
-
Shoot that dug
What came first, our "spineless" performance to use your word or the free use of the yellow card?
What was our alterative, two or three sendings off?
It was a disappointing day and a disappointing performance from our team, but I'd reserve the word spineless for one person only, and he wasn't wearing a Celtic jersey.
-
I'm told Graham Speirs is on Radio Bonkers tonight.
He normally quotes some of the stats that appear here, although he has tended to portray any current theories of underhand bevahiour as a result of paranoia (although at least he publically acknowledges the previous misdemeanours of the SFA/RFC etc.)
I would have a listen on my way home from work, but it's a 4.30 finish today, so nae chance.

Edward Ursus, I back you up on your complaint of Ayrshire + religious comment.
Nothing to do with football or Celtic and whether intended or not it looks like a sectarian comment to me !
-
Good post Paul.
With regard to McCurry, the SPL should remember that Juventus actually got relegated and a league title 'rubbed out' for picking and choosing their referees.
The argument isn't necessarily 'is McCurry corrupt' - the argument should be that everything should be seen to be above board and that any 'anomolies' need to be exposed and questioned - at a higher level than the SPL if necessary.
-
Shoot that dug, excellent, balance critical review, thanks :-)
I would disassociate McCurry’s pastoral work from his refereeing, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
Valencia bhoy, I am unfamiliar with the article.
Edward, I am with you on that one.
DBBIA, I missed your earlier comment, now deleted. Language and more!
Nae Bread, all thanks to TrueTim.
-
EdU- you're right- sectarianism is unacceptable in all its forms.
I am happy to concede that the likes of Cumnock are no longer Presbyterian, and the next time I'm on the train I shall get off to correct my impression that they are neither Godforsaken, nor lavatorial.
I'm happy to go back and delete the post. Too nice a day for falling out.

The `paranoid` accusation levelled at us has had its affect in at least one way. Namely that many Celtic fans are at too gentle in their criticism of unarguable bias for fear of being seen as unreasonable. We need to back up our subjective views with objective information. For this reason, I would like to see a few more of the articles like Paul`s above giving unarguable statistics like those above concerning McCurry. Furthermore, we KNOW that a significant factor in Celtic`s home form in the CL is the positive support given by the crowd.We know ,also, that the media fosters many negative feelings towards our team and, inevitably, some of this rubs off on us and means that we do not transmit the positive feelings that our team`s current form, certainly,deserves.So, let`s have many more positive posts and don`t be scared in the pubs, for fear of the old paranoia nonsense, of telling it as it is. Rangers football club DID have a shameful policy of discrimination for many,many years and. to the best of my awareness, have NEVER uttered a word of apology about the shameful nature of such a policy.There are, of course, many other `snippets` which are either ignored or glossed over by the establishment (why, for instance,did Scotland and Rangers wear the same coloured socks? Why `Light Blues` when they patently are NOT IE Scotland are the Dark Blues and the country`s other team are the light Blues). I believe it is up to us to confront this institutionalised bias and articles like Paul`s give us the information to do so.Incidentally, we ARE better than Hearts so will almost certainly beat them and we have a slight chance against Barca.
-
Paul,
While my brain agrees with you about the Heart's game's importance (years of listening to Mr Stein), my heart says that the Barca game is THE game. I feel if we can turn on the style we have been producing of late against them, we will take such confidnece from it that we will carry everything before us for the rest of the season.
Wasn't a childhood friend of McCurry defending him on here a couple of weeks back? Could he come on again and give us his opinion, given the stats that are being provided? It does, on the face of it, look really damning.
Going back to the last thread and the monies involved. As someone clueless in accountancy, am I right in thinking that because our debt has come down from £15m to £6m, that we have repaid the bank £9m from our overall profit?
By the way, I may be able to make BBs on Wednesday. When do folk gather there for an evening game?
-
Edward, I posted this on the previous article
"I wonder if Rangers fans would see the headline below as being evidence of an anti Rangers bias at the BBC
'Rangers drop out of rich list'"
If I am not mistaken, you are a Rangers fan. What is your take on the headline? Is it them taking the opportunity to be negative about Rangers or is it them avoiding saying something about positive about Celtic?
Are we all paranoid?
John
-
Perhaps those stats should be forwarded to the SFa for their comments, plus a courtesy copy to UEFA.
I saw the Australian Prime Minister making an emotional public apology to the aborigines, on behalf of successive governments for the discrimination and other forms of maltreatment visited upon them.
I won't join the breath holding club awaiting similar from the south side bigot's brethren.
There is no statute of limitations on ethnic persecution. The sins of the father were continued by the sons.
-
Well done Paul for highlighting this.
Every time I see the Calum Elliot incident I am lost for words how a penalty and red card were not awarded, incompetence in the extreme, or is there more to it than incompetence?
You could also have added over-ruling the linesman at Ibrox to award a goal in the Rangers v St Mirren game.
Regarding the booking count- makes me so angry that words defy me.
-
DBBIA
I am glad you got that straighten out, can I go back to eating Ayrshire Bacon now that the Fatwa against all things Ayrshire has been called off.
-
I know it's not the same, but the comparison is valid just the same. When it was the metropolitan police it was institutional racism. In Scottish football it is 'institutional sectarianism'. It has cost us more than one league title in recent years in my opinion.
McCurry getting twice as many Rangers games as any other top flight referee is not a statistical blip.
The bookings point made by you Paul is not a statistical blip. The bookings of our best players-McGeady being a particular example would be laughable were it not so patently ridiculous, that a player who opposition players get license to kick gets booked for the slightest misdemeanour or none.
Penalty not given against Aberdeen, the most ridiculous decision since Lennon's stone waller v Rangers. Referees choosing their final matches before retirement, Cadete/Farry fiasco, Tommy Burns 'tapping up' v Wattie. Tynecastle linesman flagging a dive. Scottish press complicity in laptop loyal stories/ mischief making stories re Celtic. A thousand "offside" Bobby Lennox goals.
There are many, many more.
We are paranoid and we are entitled to be. We should scrutinise and criticise all of these things and this site, KDS and others do it admirably.
I think we will still overtake them this season but they will be calling in every favour they possibly can. Aiden will be booked if he so much as looks at the ref.
-
Paul67,
well done with this article, you've stuck your neck out here, as the blog is now in danger of being dismissed as just another paranoid tim site.
As for my censure, I've seen worse, but point taken I will not transgress again.
Ed I agree, and you are right, but the difference is the catholics were usually placed in such places, as opposed to the presbyterian's who ruined nice places yuckle chuckle chortle guffaw guffaw.
Only kidding Ed.

h.bosch. lots of good examples that show we are not in fact paranoid. As you say, there are many more.

-
If any laptop loyal decide it is yet another paranoid site then two words Bobby Tait. It's amazing what gets told when referees retire and make after dinner speeches.
McCurry??? Stats speak for itself regarding Rangers this season. Six games refereed this season. Harly any bookings. Stats say it all.
Smith like Souness do try and have some sort of hold over the refs in this country.

It is quite obvious that Paul`s post is proving cathartic. For that reason (and to further purge our natural anger towards injustice) I suggest that many more on here do as I have just done and email the SFA asking for some explanation on the unarguable 6 Rangers` games being offciated at by McCurry and and thier viewpoint on the strange anomally of yellow cards issued to Celtic. I ralise that a `no comment` is the most likely response but their knowing that we are not giving up in the quest for fairness WILL have some effect.email: info@scottishfa.co.uk

Barca Bears Testimonial Update
Friday saw the first of many Testimonial events arranged to mark the 35th. Anniversary of our great victory in
Barclelona on 24th. May 1972 and what a start.
The event took place in Ayr, the heart of Ayrshire, which has been a Rangers stronghold for many years. The event
took the form of a Sportsman’s Dinner, held in Ayr & Craigie Bowling Club and was an outstanding success from start to finish.
Entertainment for the evening was provided by three outstanding after dinner speakers in the shape of Davy Wilson (a Rangers Legend),
Bobby Tait (The original Mason in the black) and John Robottom.
WHAT?

Parkheadcumsalford, I don’t think the accusations against McCurry need to stretch back to his childhood or other private matters.
Your reading of the accounts is a tad over simplified. Profit bears a fleeting relationship with cash, as player spend, for example, usually comes off cash immediately but will hit profile over the period of a contract (amortisa…….).
Cheers, goldstar10, I was looking for that link..

Tic Toc,
I did ask the question about the disproportionate number of games ref'd on snyde last night. Two things surprised me,
First, that I was allowed to ask.
Second, although their interpretations of my line of questioning, made my opinion sound a bit extreme, I was not dismissed as paranoid nor ridiculed as normally happens to such questions.
I'm not sure whats going on there but I find it very unusual.

Good article Paul. It's totally true that Saturday is the more important game, although I have to admit that I am looking forward to Wednesday more.

Paul,
your article compels me to tell the tale a Jambo collegue told me about 3 years ago.
McCury was one of the guest speakers at a Sportsmans Dinner at Tynecastle. Among his anecdotes was
(A) I've reffed several Hearts v Hibs matches and am proud to say that they (Hibs) haven't won any of them!
(B) I loved my (recently departed) father dearly - but I never forgave him for calling me Michael!
I've been watching him closely since then. I'm just amazed it's taken so long for him to finally get the notoriety his performances over a long time have justified.
Funnily enough, I'm not saying I think he deliberately cheats. I think it would be hard for any of us to be impartial in his position. I say to all...imagine you are refereeing at Celtic Park tomorrow and Scott McDonald "does a Bazza" and volleys the ball into the net. Do you see an infringement or is it "hand to ball!.
Our problem is ,and has always been, that MOST of the refs will MOST of the time not see it our way!! unfortunately, that all adds up. think 2003.
My other worry though is that this is, I believe, his last season and the last thing we need in a tight race is kamikaze "couldn't care less what they think of me anymore" type refereeing ala 2003.
as has been said before though if we contineu banging in the goals it will keep the stress at bay!!
-
Billy bhoy, good point. It is ludicrous to assume that referees and jounros are the only football minded people in Scotland who are impartial. I’m not, and neither are you, and we are both fair minded individuals.

If ever there was a wee quiz designed for this site, it's this one !!!!!

Been looking at the rich list there and here’s what I reckon: if we played in a big league i.e. EPL
Take our £75.2 mill and subtract the Champs league money, say roughly £15 mill that’s £60mill
We have to be honest first season we probably wouldn’t make the Champs league
Add roughly £40 mill for EPL football rights, up to £100mill.
Extra exposure we can add more to the shirt sponsorship, kit makers etc, conservatively I’m thinking £15 mill a season (very conservative!) that’s us up to £115 mill.
Extra exposure also means more merchandise etc, that’s say conservatively £5mill a year.
Now with no euro football which I think inevitably we would have after a season or so, I reckon turnover could be around £125mill first year, £145 when we get to the Champs league again. That puts us up to tenth and of course the “new” fans etc I haven’t factored in. That’s where we should be and it’s so annoying we aren’t!
Realistically we should be, could be the 3rd biggest club in Europe based on turnover . We should be able to compete with the big boys and leave our destiny to football matters rather than the money men. Sorry if someone already said this but how can a PLC be denied a market to trade in within the EU? I’m sure we would win any court case we went for and its ramifications would be more widespread then the Bosman case. The old boys club that’s UEFA know this, we know this, it will happen!
Hail Hail!

all this talk od biased referees is stagnent - its been going on for years - now we have the blog its gathering momentum - more people know BUT.......what can we do about it ?

any other suggestions?

EdwardUrsus @16:12
Well said Edward! I didn't see the original comment, but this is a good call by you and I totally agree with you. I think references to 'Huns' etc., etc. are not in any Celtic Supporter's interests and only serve to continue an ongoing process of desentisisation and polarisation.
One of the things I like about this site is that good people like yourself, despite being a Rangers fan, can air an intelligent (and often good-humoured) view on all matters Celtic without being hounded.
I think the Celtic/Rangers football rivalry is fantastic, but lets leave the gutter press knuckle-dragging remarks where they belong. I do know my history, and am proud of my Scots/Irish (i.e. 100% Celtic) heritage, but I hope our future history sees Glasgow and the West of Scotland celebrating a City unified by football rather than divided by the past.
Yours in Celtic,
Jim.
P.S. Edward, I still think we will win the League despite your current position at the top of the table. :-)

What makes these statistics about bookings all the more infuriating and despairing and depressing is that these referee killjoys are singling out one of the best talents that a Scottish club has produced in years.
And not only is Aiden not a dirty player but he is not even a narky, greetin'- faced persistently moaning type from the Scottish game of yesteryear, like that wee nyaff Strachan.....

Pablo - i was managing to keep the laughter contained until the cheat quip, not laughed that hard in a while... Thank You!!
Paul67 Bravo for the article....
I disagree with those saying its just because he supports the huns and its hard to be impartial. .. the decisions have not been due to this... watch the 3-1 reverse to them again if you can.. id say 7 of the 9 bookings would be overturned if we could appeal. Aiden got booked for being fouled !!
mcurry is a cheat, plain and simple.
We need to highlight this, on blogs such as this, on other websites and at our matches... If we keep it in the limelight, it will be harder for him to cheat, although judging by some of the other "referees" there are a few ready take his place.
rangers will win on sunday, regardless how they play because the cheat mcurry will not allow them to lose.
this may have been going on for years but i dont care, it needs to be stopped. If a bully kept hitting you every day would you just get used to it because if happened all the time? no youd know him clean out.
remeber what uefa said about the secterianism from the huns "its been going on for years in scotland, what can we do"
Hail Hail.
We will still win the league by 10 points mc-vindaloo, so roon ye.

Good evening gentlemen.
Excellent article about McCurry, the man is blatant in his bias.
There are some of you out there who think his religion is unrelated to his judgement, and as has been pointed out, it is riddiculous to expect referees and journos not to continue looking at their team through tinted specs. I know that I would certainly favour Celtic if given the chance as an MIB or Guttersnipe.
Therefore it is with much excitement that I look forward to seeing a match report for a Celtic V Rangers game at Parkhead, where the match is handled in an 'even handed' fashion by match referee and Catholic Priest ,Father Patrick Murphy.

Nine bookings in a game in which we were spineless? You've got to ask yourself whether or not the two were connected.

I know it is lowering the tone, but I for one would love to see some stats on how many referees are from a 'minority' background and how many of them ever get to referee us vs TFOD
-
Paul,
My apologies. I didn't mean to suggest that we dig into McCurry's past (or even less, private matters). It was just that I remember feeling that he seemed a decent sort. Sheer incompetence it is then.
I see you've managed to bring up the A word. I should have realised by now that it would have sme part to play in all this.
As others have mentioned today, Paul, my thanks for keeping me and many more like me well informed about all things Celtica.
And I hope your granmother is keeping better.

Great article Paul,Mike McCurry also overuled his linesman in the Dundee Utd game to award Rangers a goal,Only Two players standing offside seeking to gain an advantage,still to hear a plausible explanation for that one.
Incidently season 06/07 he refereed the grand total of 3 Rangers games,why the sudden increase this season ?
canamalar from last night ah wis oot wae the missus so ah missed your call to Radio Clyde.
Well done for having the courage to state your point,i hope its not your last because believe me the impact of what they say lessens with each call.

Great post Paul67
Good to see you mentioning these biased stats.My only fear is it could be too late re McCurry as he retires at the end of the season anyway and obviously wants to be remembered fondly over Govan way.
Big Jock Knew indeed and must wonder up there, how many titles we really would have by now if we werent subjected to a 100 years of MIB such as Davidson,Syme,Tate and McCurry to name but a few...
Keep telling it guys.

Edward, it’s a fragrant place during our Generation :-)
Canamalar, you are entitled to take it as a compliment, it was one.
Barabhoy, I really don’t know where anyone gets the idea that I somehow depend on sources Celtic Park for my editorial line.
It’s true, I normally don’t waste time on referee and have only discussed them twice after matches, although I also mentioned the officialdom against Falkirk three weeks ago, which favoured Celtic.
We are able to highlight things here, and I felt an opportunity arose to bring a spotlight on his forthcoming performance. Past performances are by definition beyond influence.
My guess for Sunday (mark this one):
You will see Mike McCurry book several Rangers players, including Barry Ferguson if he dares to wipe his nose on his sleeve. An opportunity to prove his balance will be grabbed.
Bazzabhoy, cheers.
Collie, two in the county town? Hmmm.

Paul,
Agree 100% - tomorrow is vital.
The last 2 games have been fantastic, but in both, due to the attacking formations in which the home teams lined themselves up (in relative terms, cf 10 men behind ball) our midfield has been able to flourish.
Tomorrow Hearts will play a defensive, counter attacking formation - totally different.
I hope - and believe - we will adapt accordingly.
Give me the league championship this year over any progress in the CL - except reaching the final, which isn't likely.
Looking forward to tomorrow big time. As the Holy Picture once said, "There's a buzz about the place."
Hail Hail.

Twelfthman, Newcastle have reached a European semi final, quarter final and fourth round in the previous five seasons, and remember….
The Uefa Cup is the dirty little secret about how to collect coefficient points.
They are also English, and gain points from the English pot.
They are currently above Valencia, Bayern and Porto. Go figure.
-
So the quality of opposition counts for nothing in European competition yet they get more points because they play in a "better" domestic league?
-
Bhoys,
A great big thank you to all who have sent prayers and get well wishes to my mum.

Lets hope for a continuation of form and a right good doin' dished out to the Farts.
C'mon the Hoops.
Paul, excellent lead on McCurry. Like others on here, I too beliebe he is going out of refereeing in kamkaze mode. After all, who is he answerable to? I also tend to agre that he will take the opportunity on Sunday to dish out yellows to two or three Rangers players, as you say, as an action of implied fairness. Unfortunately, I believe this will not be his last opportunity to exert an influence on the standings in the league table.
McCurry is Rangers 12th man.

watching the press conference tonight on c67 it struck me how content Gordon was looking and Paul Hartley seemed positively smug ! things are going well in training ?

I must echo bhoyfaethebul's comment.
Was watching Celtic TV tonight and I've never seen Gordon looking so content with life :^)
Discovered today that Paul Hartley's auntie works in the same place as me. She had some interesting stories about Paul's time at Hearts. I never liked them, as any member of my family would confirm.
As if to cap the week off, I've located the famed BB's. It's well hidden, I must say. Looks nice though :^)

Hi Paul, someone mentioned revenue generated by c67 earlier today ? İ wanna say that c67 is a service provided by the club to people like me all around the world who without which, would rarely be able to share with youthe unequalled pleasure that is watchin the bhoys live.
For 10.99 we get to see every game and have access to press conferences etc.. İt really is a fantastic service and İ want to thank the club sincerely for it as it keeps me sane !

Edward at 18.16.
South Ayrshire had some mines many many moons ago but I am sure you particularly would not find Barrhill, Colmonel or Balantrae "lavatorial or godforsaken". You obv are not that familiar with the geography of the Ayrshire hinterland and are probably referring to East Ayrshire. I can assure you there are a lot of decent ordinary mining folk in these towns - and still living in council houses (who'd have thought).

Since Hutton was transferred, they've been looking to start an ABM campaign, (Anybody But McGeady).
I think they're shooting themselves in the foot by touting Cuellar.
If they don't nominate the man whose performances have provided them with most points, then the bold rev. might just take the huff and stop giving them favours.

Stienshanklybusby :- You are correct I should have said East Ayrshire either that or to the south of me. I didn't mean anything against the inhabitants of the ex mining towns but was refering to the social upheaval and lack of work in the ex mining towns.

I spent a wee spare half hour tonight on the SFA's website looking at the disciplinary documents and stumbled across the famed "Whistleblower" section.
This is where referees get the opportunity to explain contentious decisions, if the fancy it.
In season 2007 - 2008 there have been 4 decisions where the referee fancied it.
1. Pollock v Montrose - Scottish Junior Cup Offside Decision - (actually, it was in the Scottish Cup - not very impressed so far) - asserting that the correct decision was made (in a rather conforntational manner I may add ("Jim Burns had a tight decision to make and he called it correctly.....more than can be said for the press reports!")
2. Hamilton v Morton Div 1 - disallowed goal for Morton - asserting that the correct decision was made despite the officials appearing to change their minds.
3. Dundee Utd v Rangers SPL - Cousin goal disallowed for offside - asserting that the correct decision was made and stating that "There is constant misinformation about the application of the Laws of the Game by "experts" and it is only fair that the assistant referee's alertness is noted."
4. Hibs v Kilmarnock SPL - Stuart Dougal admitting he got it wrong when awarded a penalty to Hibs when the defender clearly played the ball with no foul.
That's it for this season so far folks. At least Stuart Dougal used the forum to say he got it wrong.
Not many others choose to use it to acknowledge mistakes. In fact, not many others choose to use it all.
Strange that. If mistakes are all honest why the reluctance to come on and acknowedge such mistakes?
I am no fan of Stuart Dougal, especially after the hearings over the Neil Lennon incident at Ibrox where Mr Dougal showed up with his lawyer and then publicly ridiculed Gordon Strachan for having legal presence when called to another hearing involving Mr Dougal over his dismissal from the touchline v Hearts. Double standards? Or Lesson Learned Mr Dougal?
Anyway, credit deserved for using the formal channel to acknowledge his mistake at Easter Road.
4 entries all season and 3 of them to state "we wos right". Is that why it was set up?

Stienshanklybusby :- I do know quite a bit about Ayrshire town from both work and living in them, once again I'll state I did not at any time say anything about the inhabitants of those towns. I stand by my statement that in recent years many Ayrshire towns have been devastated and tuned into industrial wastelands, not only the mining towns but also the steel towns in the Garnock valley and towns like Stevenston that have lost their main employer. If you think Ayrshire as a county is thriving then that is your opinion but my opinion is that it has been in decline in the economic and social sense for some time.the word lavatorial may be a bit strong but it was first used (not by me) in a sort of humerous reply in an exchange. I try not to abuse any group and especially not the Ayrshire white working class group that I'm a member of. As for the quant wee holiday home villages that is the last thing I would want. What I would want is communities that are viable with work for the poplations in them especially for young folk, not the social wastelands that reflect the despair felt in huge rises in drug abuse etc.

paul67...thank you for the response to my earlier points.....i can't give you as wide a flavour of how the cule's in barca are anticipating our game as i haven't been in barcelona for a couple of months...however i did speak to a friend there today who is a season ticket holder, and he advised that they expected to win through, but were nowhere near as confident as they were a couple of months ago....apparantly the sports pundits there now accept we are quite a bit more than artur + 10......their view is that we have improved quite a bit from a skill perspective since our last meeting....
my view is that if etoo does not make it we are very slight underdogs....if he makes it i would say it is 65/35 in barca's favour....
my wish , other than a celtic victory, is that we take the opportunity to display the type of skills we made our name on as a club....
and to demonstrate that anti football on the pitch and off of it is the preserve of edwards lot..

Thanks for providing the 2008 Oscar favourite for non fiction short. A quality piece of documentary that any of the Scottish media would be proud to have published first.....

If Fanny Hill married Davie Weir, would that make her Fanny Weir?

Is it permissible for both husband and wife to have the same name?

Worked beside a woman called Fanny who's husbands second name was Hair, she then changed her first name to Nan.

I see following the announcement of the Man in Black for the Killie v The Dross, the odds for a penalty being awarded in that match have shortened from - 5/2 to 7/4.
What happened in the last 24 hours to inspire the impartial bookies, whose god is the dollar, to do that?
Three hours until pills time. I’ll make it.

My mate's girlfriend is called Fanny but she is French and doesn't care.

PedroCelt,
Genius, sheer genius! I saw that a couple of years ago when it was supposed to be Neil Warnock and Sheffield Utd I think, but it feels so apt with Murray and the rest somehow...
Incidentally, "Downfall", the original film, is a brilliant watch...

You may have left to come across to the Dear Green Place, but if not....
I will be in the Whistlin Kirk from circa 10.00. However I will drag myself away to deliver tickets to you in BBs at circa 12.00 after circa 6 pints of Guiness. Is circa the plural of Circus??
Anyway my life as moderate sociable drinker, came to sudden stop.
The sort-of-wagon I was partially on came to as shuddering halt yesterday, I fell off, it then rolled over me...and I woke up with a Celtic shop bag.....a receipt wae a lot of things on it for a lot of money....but nothin in the bag.
Hail Hail

Just been catching up with the comment, it's been a slow morning in work. Have to say I had a good laugh at Pablophanque's video. It would be even funnier if it wasn't soo close to the truth.

Today will be a day when only the result matters,though this will be said about every game we now play to the end of the season.
Hearts will be right up for this & the Bhoys need to stand up & be counted as they have been doing recently.
A win,however it comes,will show our southside neighbours that we are ready to take on the challenge of winning our 3rd title in a row.
Everyone going today will need to get right behind the team.
Hail Hail

First time poster to CQN, firstly congratualtions on a great site and wonderful forum Paul! I have been lurking about for a while and it have decided to finally take the plunge and post!
Managed to catch the game today on the net and over the past few weeks, I have been impressed by the level of performances. I look back to Nov/Dec time and now it is night and day between the level of consistency that we are finally achieving, I think that the fear of losing the league to them has finally got into the players. Hopefully, we can maintain this form over the next few months and it will finally lead to achieving our goal of 3 in a row!
