Haw!……..McCormick
It’s not called Harse Racin’ fur nuthin’……
Be Lucky CSC.
Thank goodness things seem to have returned to normal on CQN. Besides trying to have me sign in as whitedoghunch(?) and vale bhoy, I was having the old Tower of Pisa too.
If we win this league, it won’t be for the best efforts of the MIBs. The “honest mistakes” are in full flow and will only get worse, imo.

I’m still getting the picture postcards when I refresh the page.
Bliddy noosance!
A good result……..
for Celtic…………………………
…and there’s a Spring

Should be a cracking Gold Cup, you can rule out Cuecard as I have it for the jockey club triple crown, the wife has the winnings spent already, I wish I had her confidence but think the Gold Cup might just be out of its reach…….
No happy clapper when it comes to the nags !
Don’t know why I bother with the papers when all they do is bother me.
Compare there two headlines where both teams won 2-1. Albeit one team was at home the other away. One was comfortable with a 2-0 lead until 5 minutes to go. The other required a full back to give them the advantage when the score was 1-1.
“Determined Dons show they’re now ready and able to rise to the title challenge ”
“Griffiths settles vulnerable Celts”
SUPERSUTTON
Don’t buy them or read them online.
Simples!
GFTB – I most definitely cannot rule out Cue Card mo chara.
Back to it’s best, jumps like a stag and doesn’t know when it’s beat – a real strong contender.
Hopefully he wins for ye.
Could just watch and enjoy that race and not even have a bet.
Pity Conygree won’t be there to defend it’s title.
Good luck anyway – some buzz it’ll be for ye on the day.

Speaking of gardening – think one of the most dangerous and stupid things that I’ve ever did, was to try to cut a hedge with a chainsaw.
No safety goggles nor gloves on.
Branches snapping and flying all over the place – then the damn chain got stuck and flew off the saw.
Disaster.
Never again.
Laters.

Philboy.
I do neither. Just perusing them (FoC) while having a coffee at my local Costa.
It’s the only time I set eyes on them. It’s a small homage to the “know thine enemy” mantra.
Bankiebhoy.
True. In play AND outside of play.

Thanks for the safety tip. I started on mine last weekend and weather permitting will complete today. I do wear safety glasses and gloves, but now I’m thinking of chain mail armour.
The game isn’t just played on the emerald green grass of Celtic Park.
Guys – leave the chainsaws out of the equation……………….
Do the oul’ fire-wid with it, if you must – Visor, Chainsaw Gloves, Glasses and Gauntlets……………
Anyone watching the final today? I’m not sure I really care that much – although with a couple of our bhoys in the Hibs side …
Resolution 12? Walking down a dark ally whistling in the dark but that’s just my opinion, to many questions and no facts,…we think, …did you…who was…what date,? It’s all guess work and I think that the SFA have told Celtic that, why haven’t Celtic told the res. 12 guys? Well what’s the point no matter what Celtic say to these guys it won’t be accepted, when you get right to it the Celtic board and Peter Lawwell are the villains here, Celtic can’t take on the SFA with guesswork they need facts.
I’m sure the SFA have the answers but will only talk to the club, but the club won’t take them to task as its a very dangerous road to go down without cast iron evidence of fraudulent activity because let’s be straight up here that’s what we are looking at here, the Celtic board have meetings all the time same as the SFA board do also, the SFA board may be ignoring the res.12 reps. But not the allegations, the res.12 guys are scattered all over the place when was the last time they all sat down at a table? I know you can have Skype and all that but come on they don’t seem organised enough IMO, only last week one of them posted an update on where res.12 was at, and then another one of them posted…I thought we where keeping that to ourselves for the time being….?
As I said who knows? It’s only my opinion, but when you see that the creator of res.12 posted last week about getting Health and Safety involved with referee decisions (I kid you not) then you kind of wonder if the guy is just a professional nuisance, I see this going no where, and why? Well it’s been three years on the go I think? And hasent moved one inch, if Celtic FC are not interested then that means it’s a dead horse, that’s just the way I see it, but I could be wrong, I think the smart money is with the guys who gave a brand new team in the league a five way Secret agreement and got away with it without anyone saying a word, has this one well covered, res.12 guys never forget for a minute who and what you are dealing with here, have you thought what the SFA might do to you and the share holders your representing IF they can prove you wrong of fraudulent behaviour? I’d give it a thought if I was you.
I think we are learning who should have a future at Parkhead. Summer should indeed be eventful.
A hard won 3 points with a promising performance.
Is an all weather plastic pitch preferable to what we asked our players to perform in yesterday. ? Not much grass about. On the pitch anyway.
Well done Ronny.
Hail, Hail.
Ps: apologies for the non footie comment, however sick to the stomach listening to a rich pompous individual trying to justify unbelievable cuts to the most vulnerable disabled people in our society.
SUPERSUTTON
I don’t read them, FOC, in fact I wouldn’t wipe my arse with them.
Why put yourself through it?
To all the families and people involved at Dunblane 20 years ago today
Thoughts and prayers with all you and your families, and particularly those not now with us
PHILBHOY on 13TH MARCH 2016 9:05 AM
MACJAY……
I agree with you.
Do you think, if Res 12 makes it to UEFA and the SFA get their knuckles rapped,
the hun, orange masonic referees will start treating us fairly?
Hope you are well Buddy!
==============================================================
Irrespective of what happens ,or doesn`t , I don`t think there is the slightest chance of fair treatment when you live in an unfair environment.
Thanks for your good wishes.
What time is the KO for the HIbees game…..hope they do they win..

If it’s a proper chainsaw you might want to consider a short training course.
The idea of someone setting about a hedge with one without any PPE or idea what they’re doing is just crazy.
Nice touch from the players yesterday giving their jerseys to young fans after the game.

I thought this comment, in response to a comment on JJ’s blog about the point of Res12 if RFC IL were guilty of wrongdoing in 2011 since they were no longer under SFA/UEFA jurisdiction.
” RFC are not the target the SFA are
Had they been a competent fit for purpose organisation the first knowledge of ebts being used would have been questioned with RFC AND HMRC in 2000 or 2001.
Think of the grief that would have saved everyone particularly RFC.
Try to imagine that some Celtic supporters don’t hate Rangers supporters but just love football enough to want it to be played honestly as a sport and not a means of fleecing both sets of supporters in a rivalry that has for far too long been poisonous.
It’s not about what CW did or did not do in 2011, it’s about how the SFA allowed it to happen and their behaviour since, in order to make sure it cannot happen again.
The SFA can make a start by simply answering the questions put to them last July.
They may have nothing to hide but in answering some form of accountability will have been introduced by giving club shareholders power they do not have.
The SFA and the club’s probably fear being accountable more than the consequences of any wrongdoing that did take place in which they played a part.
SFA accountability is the ultimate aim.

Re What used to be the sewerage overspill of the tabloid press, now sadly a spreading plague into the sports pages of even the more literate publications, I once penned a wee bit of doggerel in homage to our iconic wordsmiths….I got bored after a couple of verse because simply a suitable range of metaphoric flourishes did not exist to adequately manifest my utter disdain for their efforts.
Anyway here’s the first few verses I managed before realising that probably ‘pity’ was what really lay at the core of my distaste.
Apologies for the disturbing images which these few words may conjure up…I can only suggest that a bottle of Buckfast with your porridge may eradicate them from your memory….it seems to work for most other unwanted recollections.
It seems perverse tae wipe yer erse
Wae Mail or Times or Sun
Where headlines smudge ye, in the cludgy
As newsprint tends tae run
The ink aye leaks across yer cheeks
An’ photies always smear
Who wants a hack upon yer crack
Or Murdoch up yer rear
Who wants a new quink ink tattoo
Of Keevins looking glum?
Jabba the Hutt, across yer butt?
My God that’s some size bum?
I then sipped the Buckfast and did pen a few more stanzas but they really are unprintable…and potentially sectionable.
Hail Hail
Matt
Getting the ole Tower of Pisa again. Very annoying…
Nice one Matt
Can you wangle a stanza featuring Kim Kardashian?
* that moment when you’re about to log on and see that the last 5 posts have been by roy croppie, auldheid, matt stewart, parkheadcumsalford and the battered bunnet.*
Ni-i-i-ce…….

This may come as a shock to many…perhaps it is an admission too far even for me, BUT…although having heard the name Kim Kardashian, I don’t know who she (I think it was a she) is or what level of fame/infamy or notoriety she has achieved.
I apologise for this deficiency.
Should I be worried?

Birthday Bhoy John Clark
By: Joe Sullivan on 13 Mar, 2016 11:01
LISBON LION, John Clark celebrates his 75th birthday today, Sunday, March 13 and it goes without saying that everyone here at Celtic Park wishes him many happy returns.
One way of assessing a player’s career is to count his medals, and a brief glimpse at John Clark’s collection on display in the Paradise boardroom pays tribute to his service to Celtic Football Club.
Among the main honours from the 316 games he played for Celtic are three championship medals, three for the Scottish Cup, four for the League Cup and, of course, there is the pinnacle of the European Cup in 1967.
However, that is only part of the story as John Clark is still very much part of the fabric of the club nearly 58 years after he first joined as a fresh-faced teenager in 1958 and he has held a host of positions with the Hoops.
Now he is a well-known face of the camera close-ups of the Celtic dugout and on the odd occasion he can be caught breaking into a smile when the Hoops find the net, but goal celebrations when one of his team-mates scored used to be part and parcel of his life as a Celtic player.
He was Billy McNeill’s partner in defence during the most successful period in the club’s history and, as one of the revered Lisbon Lions, he will forever hold a place in the hearts of the faithful as one of the club’s greatest ever players.
And when Cesar returned as manager, it was John who he turned to as his right-hand man to help steer the Hoops to more silverware as a new generation of supporters looked for success.
Today he is still here as kit manager and still enjoying every Hoops success because he is still as much a Celtic supporter as he was when he cheered on the players from the terracing in the 1950s.
Here we look at some highlights from his amazing career.
Amazingly, five was the paltry sum of Scotland caps that John Clark received for his efforts as the most successful sweeper in the Scottish game. Like the rest of the Lions, John discovered that talent and achievement at club level mattered little to national team selectors. However, players and supporters recognised his ability and years after marking Pele out of the game in a 1-1 draw with Brazil in 1966, the ‘world’s greatest player’ made a beeline for ‘Luggy’, stopping for a chat after spotting him in the lobby of a New York hotel.
There were three nicknames that John picked up in his more than 50 years at Celtic Park. The first is ‘The Brush’, the moniker that was given to him in the newspapers, for his ability to calmly sweep up at the back. The next was ‘Luggy’, the name that John doesn’t really like and was picked up after he ended up with a cauliflower ear after an accidental collision with Billy McNeill in training. The third is the one that he prefers to be known by and is best known as today, ‘Clarky’. As Clarky himself pointed out in an interview, he has been called a few other things over the years, mainly by his assistant, Angie Thomson, but ‘none of them are printable!’
He won an impressive 11 medals during his years as a player at Celtic Park. Between 1958 and 1971 he won three league championships, three Scottish Cups, four League Cups and, of course, the European Cup in 1967. It should also be remembered that John has also played a significant role in the backdrop during other major triumphs, as a coach between 1973 and 1978, assistant manager between 1978 and 1983 before returning to the club as kit controller in 1997. All of his medals are on display in the Celtic boardroom. “I feel really honoured that they are on display there and that supporters are able to see them,” he said.
A total of four was the number of goals that the ‘prolific’ John Clark scored for Celtic – three in the green and white Hoops and one in the blue and white hoops of Morton. Raise this issue with Clarky today and he will rightly point out that he was a sweeper, more accustomed to stopping goals than foraging forward. And he’ll also tell you that he scored one of the strikes of the century! “I always say that I scored the best goal ever,” he said in a Celtic View interview. “It was in a Scottish Cup replay at Easter Road against Hibs and I beat a defender at the byline, cut in and poked the ball through Ronnie Simpson’s legs and said to him: ‘You couldn’t get any better than that could you!’” There was one other memorable strike, though, and when John returned in 1971 as a Morton player, he was among the Celtic goalscorers, netting an own goal in the 3-1 defeat.
Working as a player, coach and kit controller, John has now spent five decades at the club. It is a remarkable, almost lifelong, association and one that Clark treasures. “I was a Celtic supporter, a Celtic player, it’s been my life,” he said in a matchday programme interview. “I get a lot of satisfaction when I think that I started my working life with Celtic and I’ll finish it with them. I’ve really enjoyed my life, when I look back I couldn’t ask for any more. I’ve been a really lucky guy. “
He played a total of 140 consecutive matches between April 1965 and September 1967. He did not miss a single match during that two-year period – the most successful period in the club’s history – playing in every friendly match for the club, including the North American Tour that preceded the clean sweep season of 1966/67, the head-to-head with Manchester United and the great Alfredo Di Stefano’s testimonial. The run also included four internationals with Scotland and continued until September 27, 1967, when he was rested for the League Cup quarter-final against Ayr United. John was back in the team for a league win over Stirling Albion three days later.
John’s final game for Celtic came on May 1, 1971 when Jock Stein gathered the Lisbon Lions together to take a final bow in front of 35,000 at Celtic Park. The late, great Ronnie Simpson couldn’t play due to his shoulder injury but he took to the pitch for the pre-match warm-up. Bertie Auld and Stevie Chalmers also played their final Celtic game that day as the Bhoys beat Clyde 6-1.
At the Celtic Player of the Year Awards in May 2004, which had been voted for by over 50,000 Celtic fans, Martin O’Neill presented John Clark with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his services to Celtic.
Happy Birthday John and Hail, Hail.

If the SFA had nothing to hide, they would have been singing it from the rooftops via their accomplices in the press long before now.
Even when Farry was caught bang to rights all those years ago, his totally corrupt protectors maintained that he had done nothing wrong. It took time but the truth finally came out.
We are dealing with completely immoral, devious and deceitful charlatans and I for one am extremely confident that none of the requisitioners has anything to worry about from any of those chancers.
Matt Stewart
I have heard of Kim kardashian. But I don’t think she runs in this year’s gold cup.
Maybe the grand national though
