What a difference to have pundits that know what they are talking about.

Mental team selection.
Looks like NL is being a wee bit self indulgent.
Finally a word for the TFOD acolyte who does the fixture arrangements.
Away up at Aberdeen on the Saturday after a global set of midweek internationals.
On the TV so it will be an early kickoff.
Against a stuffy team with few internationals.
Good old fashioned low level TFOD rat fu**ing.

A good test for the new format today with worldwide interest extremely high? I have had rugby fans here in Oz trying to “inform” me that Rangers are going into liquidation. Fancy that I say to them…..:-)

DID Lustig play for Sweden during the week– or do we have a team here which is devoid of everyone involved in International matches during the week?
3-0 Celtic
Good Morning,
Some of you will remember that last year I highlighted the very very strange goings on that surround one of Scotland’s brightest young managers- Derek Adams.
Young Adams had received some strange touchline bans during his first time in charge of Ross County, including the one where the disciplinary committee decided to charge him with breaching an existing ban by going to the refrees room during the game as a result of being invited to attend the room by the referee himself. Of course when I say “Invite”– I really mean the type of invitation that is delivered as an order.
Despite this appearing ludicrous, the refereeing committee decided to charge Adams with an offence in his absence, try him in his absence and then proceeded to sentence him in his absence with the result that the letter which arrived in the post said that he was now banned from the touchline for something like 3 months if I recall correctly.
Then when he moved to Hibs, the Edinburgh club were a bit astounded when their assisstant manager was again sent to the stand one day for unprofessional conduct– although nobody else on the touchline could understand what had happend as there did not appear to have been any incident at all. This was later compounded with an accustaion that Adams swore at a match official at alater game and so with the bans totting up procedure, Adams faced the potential of a ban for — wait for it– 26 matches!
Now this did not happen when a legal chairman threw out the majority of the Ross County bans as being absolutely rediculous , and the SFA decided not to proceed with the first Hibs dismissal when the referee concerned completely “forgot” why he had sent Adams to the stand and could not provide any justifiable reason for his actions. The Swearing one? Well that was booted out too– because- well — it is widely known that rather unusually in football– Derek Adams just does not swear! So it was no great surprise when no one could offer any evidence of him swearing at all.
Now you may wonder why I raise this matter this morning. Well it is very possible that next year Derek Adams will be managing in the SPL given Ross County’s current position and of corse depending on what unusual configurations may result from the ever unfolding events at Ibrox. That would mean that Adams.. and the way he is treated… will come under ever greater scrutiny, which may well be no bad thing.
Why is it no bad thing? Well you see something is just not righthere. A real gaff in refereeing and discipline is always possible, but when you get repeated decisions which are just inexplicable then that starts to look highly suspicious.
But that of course was before Dougie Dougie, Dallasgate and the new transparent and fair SFA was ushered in by Stewart Regan.
Except that fairly reently Derek Adams was banned yet again for no apparent reason by a top referee. He appealed in the normal manner and at the appeal hearing he was represented by Paul McBride QC.
I am reliably informed that during the hearing the referee concerned was giving evidence under oath when the following remarkable exchange took place.
McBride- So you decided to send Mr Adams to the stand
Referee- Yes
McBride- And the reason for sending Mr Adams to the stand was the behaviour you have described
Referee- Yes
McBride- If another manager had behaved in the same way, say Stephen Presley of Falkirk- If he had behaved in exactly the same way- would you have sent him to the stand?
Referee-NO!
Needless to say the proceedings effectively ended there and then.
However, the referee concerned will be in charge of a leading match this weekend– and presumably be able to demonstrate the same startling objectivity and fairness of mind.
Watching the debacle unfold at Ibrox is fascxinating and very entertaining. What is it about Rangers that brings out the very worst in people. Rangers players dont take wage cuts – they take deferrals till next season. What on earth is going to happen next season to allow them to pay the money? Its always on the never never for Rangers. Even the administrators are at it – by now they should have gotten on with the job of cuts – but not for Rangers. Dont they realise that another month means even deeper cuts. They are a continued joke who believe that the rules simply dont apply.

If you are over the border don’t worry about the new legislation!
Enjoy your day, days like this and the work you do define our club and supporters.
Very proud of you all
3 nil to the good guys.
Gordon Strachan loves talking about Celtic
While Rangers are in throes of hunting players, Lenny reminds the world of 2 new players ready to pull on the Hoops for the first time.
If I were a cynic I say it was a calculated decision, and why not?
Hail Hail
WGS and Packie on ESPN.. Great chat
Mind should read minx pesky iPad spellcheck.
After so many years of following ,I still cherish the great anticipation of
the ” gemme “, as kick off approaches.
As Billy Connolly would say: ” It`s a disease. ”
We Tims are so lucky.

JF fouled just outside box
Off the post from Chaz
Mulgrew off the post
Charlie hits the post from a free kick.
Charlie hits post. Beautiful FK
Kelvin Wilson needs to learn the trick of accidentally placing himself in the attackers path, when playing a pass back.
Mulgrew freekick nearly goes in.
My dad called getting his P45, his Horror Comics.
Just saying.
