I don’t know what was said to Neil Lennon after the victory over Dunfermline last week but if it caused him to react I can imagine the tone. The few visits I made to the South Stand during Gordon Strachan’s tenure left an indelible image of life as a Celtic manager.
Whatever Kirk Broadfoot did or did not say to Rangers fans towards the end of their defeat at Kilmarnock yesterday, does anyone seriously think it contained more invective than has been hurled at the player for most of his career?
The self-righteous indignation some football fans exhibit when an employee earning [insert a completely irrelevant figure here]exhibits intolerance to what would get you barred for life from any other workplace in the country is the epitome of hypocrisy.
Garry Kenneth, who is likely to face Celtic at Tannadice on Sunday, today told the world he will not be renewing his contract when it expires at the end of the season, saying, “Dundee United are a feeder club, it has always been like that.” Ouch. Whatever Kenneth thinks of United he should at least respect their fans emotional investment in the club to be a whole lot more careful with his words. Should make for a tense afternoon in the United defence, especially if we can put the big guy under some pressure.
Big game on Wednesday. A win would fire enormous impetus into our season. Whatever the outcome, the game will provide Neil Lennon with a guide on how to play in the hugely important month ahead.

So Laffatme’s car was the victim of a sectarian crime.
He must have been driving the Pope mobile if true.

“What religion is his car?”
Its a Hybrid,
not to be confused with Kyle himself…. who is a halfwit

Not surprised by the reporting, this is just part of a seachange to accompany pending legislation. For the Police to comment at all at this stage is almost unique.
By some sheer coincidence, when they do choose to comment whilst an investigation is underway, they comment on a Rangers player inferring
the ‘sectarian’ offence will have been committed by someone connected with Catholicism or Celtic.

Are you suggesting double standards in Scottish media?
Are you a Ned?
The source of the double standards that you suggest is the police.
Henrik was not only great on the field but great off the field. When his contract was due for renewal, he told his agent that he wanted to stay at Celtic and he instructed him to negotiate the best deal he could get, on that basis. He obvously worked on the belief that his agent was there to serve him – not vice versa. And he was the ‘GREATEST EVER CELT.’
The Pope Mobile has a Cathalytic converter.

I to have a little business (any ghuys needing a boat cover!!) I somehow made a shortfall on my payments to HMRC for the grand sum of £1.26 , they notified me by letter but I forgot about it and did nt pay it until last week ,(about 6 weeks late) I then got another letter saying I now have to pay an additional £2.57 by way of a fine lol. Now I know im only talking about piddly amounts of money but this really pisses me off bigtime when you continually read about them and how long and protracted their tax case has been running. Its so obvious to a blind man that they have no intention of paying a penny of tax, I hope the HMRC hammer them

I think it’s a Hundai.
Sorry, meant Hyundai.
Making a Christmas promotion in work (a huge, blue-chip, world-renowned company) and have been told by the boss to “Replace ‘Happy Christmas’ with ‘Seasons (sic) Greeting’ or something less Christian.”
What is wrong with the world?
Gary Speed God rest him.
I see people trying to find a reason behind his death which is only natural, but unless you have suffered the ‘black mist’ coming down you can never understand.
You can have a nice wife, kids, house, no money worries, it does not matter once it hits you.
All you can do is ride it out and hope you do not listen to the dark voice in your head.

When I was a young bhoy going to the games with my aunt on the Gilmour Street bus (mid to late 70’s) in Alexandria the Torpedo Club was the place to meet. In the toilets it was written about not a particularly handsome hun who worked there that he and Steve McQueen were twins!!!!
Poordeadking – Happy Christmas is modernist humbug.
It should be Merry Christmas. (thumbsup)
Was he driving a Hunda…
Still unshaven, still unbeaten!
Movember drawing to a close, so many thanks to those of you who have already donated [SFTB!]
Any spare shrapnel that you can spare will go to a very worthy cause
CARS 2 was a wee bit disappointing , but had one great line in it ………
“is the Pope Mobile a catholic”.
TeT,
If, as you say, PL has been here before, then, for me, that underlines the fact that the player and his agent, hold all the aces.
It’s not about PL having previous. It’s about not having the power of the mafia.:>)
How can the club control the environment.
Does that mean that they don’t talk to a player whom they wish to sell, or who won’t renew a contract?
Do they send him to train with the kids? I think they did this with Bobo. Didn’t work.
No, I’m afraid that if a player doesn’t want to go, or doesn’t want to sign a new deal, then there is damn all the club can do about it.
In your and my youth, club’s had complete control over their players.
They held registrations and could, if they wished, put a player out of the game.
Now, it is the players who control their careers, if they are good enough.
Power to the workers!!

What’s wrong with the world indeed?
I was thinking about this this morning. Experience teaches us that feasts are only good if you really mean them. To prepare for the feast, a period of fasting, self-denial, hard work is often necessary (Advent before Christmas, Lent before Easter, Ramadan before Eid ul_Fitr).
If you just show up for the feast, and then move on to the next feast (Burns Night, Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day, Mother’s Day and whatever else the retail industry has invented for us, often by misinterpreting and perverting traditional feasts) without ever going through the fast (if not literally denying yourself food, at least getting your head down and getting on with some work, wearing old clothes, eating porridge et cetera), it will soon come to pass that all feasts blur into one and none is really meaningful or enjoyable.
We need shade as well as light, silence as well as sound.
The retail industry doesn’t like shade or silence, sackcloth or ashes, belt-tightening or humility. It spends a fortune trying to convince us to spend an even bigger fortune on things we neither need nor really want.
That’s my answer this morning to your very vexing question. I share your frustration.

Keyboards fine…:))
Mort -not yet, but workin’ on it.
Think Clark Gable, without the notorious halitosis.
To the hun mobile boy blunder
Celtic_First – if not literally denying yourself food, at least getting your head down and getting on with some work, wearing old clothes, eating porridge et cetera
That sounds like a laugh a minute.

I know they all go to the same Lodge.
A group of English journalists are called a chapel.
Cannot see that being the case in Scotland.

You don’t have to buy them. Of course you don’t.
However, if your children are constantly bombarded with product placements and clever promotions devised by marketing geniuses and then fail to understand why you cannot see that this device is a necessity and this game a must-have, as well as this coat, these shoes, this school trip blah, blah, blah, it is, shall we say?, dispiriting at times.
Time to feast follows time to fast.
Refusal to prepare for the feast is the main reason you hear so many people say they don’t even like the feast and that they are glad when it’s over.
