Abada released from shackles

176

The story of the season was all there for us to see at a park in Paisley yesterday.  St Mirren dropped deep, they neither wanted not retained the football, yet they somehow managed to get a kick inside the Celtic Penalty area.

That was enough to knock the ball against Greg Taylor’s arm.  The referee missed the incident but from the moment the replays were shown until play eventually broke for a VAR intervention several minutes later, we knew the penalty was in the post.

St Mirren have the secret sauce to stifle Celtic.  It worked when we last visited in September, 80% possession and a 2-0 defeat.  It worked again in the first half, but Charles Dunne’s red card made holding onto the task impossible.  Kyogo pounced on his short pass back, Dunne brought the stirker to the ground, it was a red card and another correct decision to rescind the penalty award, as Dunne released the player inches from the 18-yard line.

It took 11 second half minutes for Celtic to equalise, 11 minutes with Liel Abada on the field. He looked like a player released from shackles, constantly darting back and forth looking for the ball, always looking for the goal.  For me, he starts on Wednesday.

Great to see Matt O’Riley get a goal too.  There is so much to his game already, regular goals is needed to turn him into the finished article.

So far, so good for VAR.  If a player fouls an opponent while attempting to play the ball and concedes a penalty, a yellow, not a red card should be shown.  If, however, the player fouls while making no attempt to play the ball, the card should be red.  Think back to Jeremie Frimpong in the 2019 League Cup Final.

Alex Gogic grabbed Oh’s shirt, the player fell and VAR again called on the referee to review.  It was another stonewaller.  Don’t get me wrong, in no way wanting to punish a team that can actually give us a difficult game when they are already beaten, but Gogic’s offence was a textbook red card that had been reviewed by VAR.  How on earth………

    Some folk will reluctantly admit to being duped by all the propaganda, after all it was all encompassing on tv, radio, newspapers, internet, bus shelters etc etc. But the ego of the vast majority will not permit such retrospective analysis. They were too smart to be carried along on a wave of manufactured hysteria. Covid 19 was the cynical abuse of people’s gullibility. Forget erudition, verbal facilities, musical sophistication or grasp of mathematical complexities, if you can be suckered into destroying yourself by obvious conmen, . . . . … .. .

     

     

    There was one stage where it was abhorrent to die from the virus, but quite acceptable — even dare I suggest, honorable — to die from the vaccine.

     

     

    Then we had politicians who knew nothing about viruses suddenly proclaimed that Covid was a severe health crisis that justified locking people up in their homes, shutting down their businesses, and wrecking entire economies.

     

     

    Faked statistics and propaganda will carry you for a while, but eventually people are going to need to experience something at least resembling an actual devastating worldwide plague in reality, not just on their phones and TVs. So it just fizzled out . . . .. . .without a peep . . .. . .from anyone. . .. . ..because they knew they were duped.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The obedient always see themselves as virtuous rather than cowardly.

    I’m just glad my inherent cynicism was going full pelt, I refused to take the mRNA vaccine and it almost cost me my job, luckily over here in UAE the Chinese vaccines was still available (no longer available) when I could not longer hold out. Unfortunately the Sputnik (royalty took the Sputnik over here) was gone before I got back from Kuwait, was in lockdown in Kuwait but not forced to take vaccine, it was a condition in UAE to be vaccinated before attending any site. Chinese and Russian vaccines were developed the traditional way so even if not effective or as we were told, less effective, there was no experiments coursing through my veins.

     

    What is very telling is the lack of medical research being done by the “follow the science” brigade on the damage they have done, in fact many governments have stopped providing data previously regularly published on their websites, info now published has changed format and parameters. Reminiscent of when the torys changed the input data parameters relevant to inflation and unemployment.

     

     

    TimH..,

     

    No problem, we’re only human :)

    Remember they talked about herd immunity, I’m thinking they meant flock immunity :oD)))))

    Unfortunately for the majority they were stuck with Pfizer and Moderna and are reaping the rewards now. You seem to have dodged a bullet.

     

     

    I refused to get vaccinated and would have gladly walked away from my job and sued the company out of existence if they forced me to take a trial vaccine for a illness that they had yet to isolate in humans, they knew this and left well enough alone. I plodded along and minded my own business. I also refused to wear a mask, none of the ‘mandatory’ regulations had a leg to stand on in the legal world and they used this ignorance to force people to do as they were told.

     

     

    The data has now gone missing as you have pointed out. And the figures will be skewed to take the bad look of the horror show that vasts swathes of the population bought a non refundable tickets for.

     

     

    What made people believe that the government were suddenly interested in keeping them alive?

     

     

    In reality if the Minister for Health was walking down the street and saw you dying on the pavement, he wouldn’t get on his knees to resuscitate you, he’d kick you into the ditch out of the way.

     

     

    And the next time they try the same shtick, they same people will fall for it and we’ll be back at square one again.

     

     

    21st century snakes and ladders where the idiots are going down and they’re damn sure they are going to take the rest of us with them.

    Pretty sure they isolated it in a part of China, Taiwan I think its called :oD))) lets pour controversy on controversy :)

     

    I get what your implying but I’m sure the algorithm used to determine isolation is flawed, especially if like me you believe that guy Dr. David Martin in the vid of the German inquiry I posted, who provided proof on it being and engineered and patented virus.

    The intellect isnae that great here.still need help.

     

    Just curious always

     

     

    Mod.iyo

     

    Who is they?

     

    What truth were they hiding?

     

    Lied bout what?

     

    ‘What did not and never will exist in the manner they told us'<? Same q back to ye :-)

     

     

     

    AT

     

    He means that they knew the truth

     

    And chose to lie

     

     

    To fill a nation full of fear over something that did not and never will exist in the manner in which they told us.

     

    ======

     

    Eh Mod its ok am really just curious wi B78 as to that countries rules and an individuals right to walk thro just cos they are x y or z.I know those rules are definitive(your either in or not to U.S)

     

     

    I know,as you do where convo goes once Novak is mentioned,i was only defending a countries to set medical law at entry.That at this point in time is definitive law,but the chat surrounding him is mired in conspiracy,conterconspiracy and retro conspiracy and anything but definitive.

     

     

    Anyway am goin to read back as had busy night.

  8. FRIDAY 6TH

     

    There was no priest in last night or tonight. They stopped me from seeing my solicitor tonight, as another part of the isolation process, which, as time goes by, they will ruthlessly implement. I expect they may move me sooner than expected to an empty wing. I will be sorry to leave the boys, but I know the road is a hard one and everything must be conquered.

     

     

    I have felt the loss of energy twice today, and I am feeling slightly weak.

     

     

    They (the Screws) are unembarrassed by the enormous amount of food they are putting into the cell and I know they have every bean and chip counted or weighed. The damned fools don’t realise that the doctor does tests for traces of any food eaten. Regardless, I have no intention of sampling their tempting morsels.

     

     

    I am sleeping well at night so far, as I avoid sleeping during the day. I am even having pleasant dreams and so far no headaches. Is that a tribute to my psychological frame of mind or will I pay for that tomorrow or later! I wonder how long I will be able to keep these scribbles going?

     

     

    My friend Jennifer got twenty years. I am greatly distressed. (Twenty-one-year-old Jennifer McCann, from Belfast’s Twinbrook estate, was sentenced to twenty years’ imprisonment for shooting at an RUC man).

     

     

    I have no doubts or regrets about what I am doing for I know what I have faced for eight years, and in particular for the last four and-a-half years, others will face, young lads and girls still at school, or young Gerard or Kevin (Bobby’s son and nephew, respectively) and thousands of others.

     

     

    They will not criminalise us, rob us of our true identity, steal our individualism, depoliticise us, churn us out as systemised, institutionalised, decent law-abiding robots. Never will they label our liberation struggle as criminal.

     

     

    I am (even after all the torture) amazed at British logic. Never in eight centuries have they succeeded in breaking the spirit of one man who refused to be broken. They have not dispirited, conquered, nor demoralised my people, nor will they ever.

     

     

    I may be a sinner, but I stand — and if it so be, will die — happy knowing that I do not have to answer for what these people have done to our ancient nation.

     

     

    Thomas Clarke is in my thoughts, and MacSwiney, Stagg, Gaughan, Thomas Ashe, McCaughey. Dear God, we have so many that another one to those knaves means nothing, or so they say, for some day they’ll pay.

     

     

    When I am thinking of Clarke, I thought of the time I spent in ‘B’ wing in Crumlin Road jail in September and October ’77. I realised just what was facing me then. I’ve no need to record it all, some of my comrades experienced it too, so they know I have been thinking that some people (maybe many people) blame me for this hunger-strike, but I have tried everything possible to avert it short of surrender.

     

     

    I pity those who say that, because they do not know the British and I feel more the pity for them because they don’t even know their poor selves. But didn’t we have people like that who sought to accuse Tone, Emmet, Pearse, Connolly, Mellowes: that unfortunate attitude is perennial also…

     

     

    I can hear the curlew passing overhead. Such a lonely cell, such a lonely struggle. But, my friend, this road is well trod and he, whoever he was, who first passed this way, deserves the salute of the nation. I am but a mere follower and I must say Oíche Mhaith.

  9. Is this a bus trip from Flatearth.org?

     

     

    What have we done to deserve this?

     

     

     

    5 very simple points and I am off to my kip

     

     

    1) The fact that some things were done badly or wrongly during Covid does not mean that all things were done badly or wrongly. People were dying in large numbers and we will never know how many could have/would have died without some of the interventions?

     

     

    2) The Wuhan Lab/ Wet Market hypothesis is still speculative. It has no stronger evidence for it now than it had when it was first raised by Trump for political misdirection purposes. The virus origin may never be established and may remain unconfirmed (may does not mean will).

     

     

    3) Tories fecked up the social science of dealing with Covid here (copying Nicola Sturgeon because they had to?? FFS?? catch yourself on!)- that should surprise no one.

     

     

    4) Covid has not gone away and nor have other virus threats. If we are left to the mercy of Covid deniers (and yes, Canman I know you are not one) we may not be so lucky next time.

     

     

    5) There was more rubbish and outright lies coming from the Covid denying and Covid- confusing sections of the debate, aided and abetted by proven liars and Russian bots who managed to cast doubt on the existence and nature of Covid whilst selling “cures” and making money while adding to the body count.

     

     

    6) Point 1 is the most important here. It is far too early for anyone claiming their points of view have been vindicated here.

     

     

    Bed now

  10. When we review the errors made in the handling of the response to Covid-19, we should consider the actions of a Scottish doctor Norah Wattie.

     

    She reduced the incidence of TB and diphtheria in Glasgow slums by advocating greater health education, the clearing of unsanitary slum housing and better facilities at schools.

  11. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    SFTB,

     

    I suggest only two of the vid links I posted earlier, The Dr John Campbell and the German inquiry, it should provide you with some clarity.

     

     

    As for “Russian bots” do you have any proof of that? Do you still believe that Russian bot swing the 2016 US election? The Russians developed their own vaccine why would they they spread disinformation if they did not accept it as real, or are they just evil? why are they still publishing numbers of infected and mortality rates, I really did expect you to be more objective than that.

  12. I’m sitting back and reading with interest.

     

     

    It would seem the penny is dropping as events unravel.

     

    We discussed in depth the issue of control and conspiracy theories.

     

     

    I stated many times and reiterate these words

     

    Be wary, be very wary.

     

     

    We shall see.

     

     

    Beware the renewed zeal of the 15 minute cities.

     

     

    HH. When is a conspiracy not a conspiracy.

  13. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    The Dr John Campbell bloke continues to release more serious findings such as, government guidelines advised medical staff to administer respiratory inhibiters to patients coming to the end of life, what they don’t specify what they mean by “end of life” normally give to terminally ill patients, such drugs stop people trying to breath. After they pushed diagnosed patients into care homes it became clear to me it was a cull, INO “end of life” was pensionable age.

     

    Now I challenge anyone to got watch Dr John Campbell on youtube and come back and tell me he does not know what he is talking about.

  14. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    Greenpinata,

     

    100% on the 15 minute cities, silo and control.

  15. GG

     

     

    Here here to Norah Wattie👏 and the impact she had on an illness Diptheria and Tuberculosis,Woman and Childre

     

    Alas the laws accessing capital (1979)since Glasgow built its Drumchapels,pollok-s/nitshill,castlemilk and easterhouses.

     

     

    If councils applied today to build same number houses,deemed illegal(even when need is there).no access to capital markets.tragic error politically as we see around our cities.

     

     

    She would be birlin in her grave am sure today as poverty is once again ignored.

     

     

    HH

  16. GG

     

    I agree wi SFTB,it will be a while yet before any definition of what went on.going by pandemic history i guess we will be dead and history will still be extrapolating from it.Ach anyway it wont tell us if Tony Ralston should get a game on wed:-)

    AT,

     

    By the looks of it your avoiding the qualified information already available, you don’t want to know, do you?

     

    I’ve provided you with plenty and apparently you are refusing to acknowledge its existence, wilful ignorance springs to mind.

  18. Morning all from a very cold Garngad.

     

     

    Bring on the Hertz manana lets rattle them make another statement. I will go for 3-1 although a good thumping would be ideal.

     

    But of course any win will do.

     

     

    D :)

  19. 9.18 Pretty sure I’ve posted all of this reliable information before so going by your question you never looked at any of it, probably dismissed it as conspiracy, maybe you should keep a more open mind.

     

     

    2.44 By the looks of it your avoiding the qualified information already available, you don’t want to know, do you?

     

     

    I’ve provided you with plenty and apparently you are refusing to acknowledge its existence, wilful ignorance springs to mind.

    Youd be bang on.not a topic i partake in on here ,not part of my cqn.thats a decision by me,not closing my mind to anyhin,if anyhin gie’n it a rest just on that topic here.

     

    I answered b78 on point of a country havin right to set medical terms on entry,US.

  20. Oops to heavy thumbs

     

     

    I hit return hoping it wouldnt default to covid19

     

    Alas wrang there lol.

     

     

    Maybe too i have that famine continuity gene,deep in the ordinary human syche is the will to go on regardless of state,power?pestilence and poverty met.

     

     

    Hope all good your way

     

     

    HH

  21. 9.18 your info is ‘reliable’

     

    2.44 your info is ‘qualified’.

     

     

    Stochastically speakin your english went from a probability to certainty.interesting.

  22. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    AT,

     

    “Stochastically speakin your english went from a probability to certainty.interesting.” matters not a jot if your committed to your wilful ignorance.

     

     

    However I do understand yours and most other peoples reluctance, I can imagine how angry people would feel if they became aware of how their elected leaders and champions actually exposed them to more danger and contributing to a higher death toll as a direct result of SNP policy, it was their responsibility to make sure the science and advice was properly assessed and they failed miserably. Not to mention the guilt of trying to force dissidents in to conforming, I expect you were one of the more vociferous borg. We are borg, you will be assimilated, resistance is futile.

  23. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    Does anyone think we’ll get to the end of the season without serious injury?

     

    Its starting to look like it will be a serious assassination attempt to put one of our starters out.

     

    I am heartened to note hamstring pulling is not as common since Ange arrived.

    An Tearmann

     

     

    I thought that last link you posted where he states that ‘first half St. Mirren go at them and are 1-0 up at half time’. Did I miss this? Celtic had 82% possession in the first half, they had one shot on target the entire game and that was their penalty, how was this ‘St. Mirren going at them’? I know your average Hun is a bit thick but you don’t need to have ever watched football or know anything about tactics etc. to look at that first half and conclude anything other than St. Mirren sat in with 11/10 behind the ball, nothing new in it other than Celtic didn’t score first.
