Age of the Bampots, McPake and cover for Victor

1008

James McPake’s absence tomorrow will be a blow to Hibs and a significant boost to Celtic.  Hibs are short on cover in all areas and McPake, their captain, is an instrumental component in their defence.  Celtic are without the suspended Victor Wanyama but they are far better provisioned all over the field, especially in central midfield.

Do you remember the good old days when a football club would be able to spin a load of old tosh to the media, who would report to an incredulous public?  This is far more difficult in the multi-channel internet age.

The BBC yesterday reported the headline “Former chief executive Charles Green is cleared of having close links with former Rangers owner Craig Whyte”, although the article itself proclaims a less ambitious “will be cleared”.

All fine and good, but I scoured several articles on this subject for mention as to whether or not the Rangers International internal investigation considered evidence from both sides – the key fact in this story, but one which was missing from reports.  Fortunately an Internet Bampot stepped in to help all those in the media.  I’m away to check all the updated reports reflecting the new information……

Willie Wallace will be signing copies of his autobiography from 2pm until 4pm at Waterstones on Sauchiehall St.  Get your Cup Final weekend off to a Lisbon Anniversary start!

    I echo your sentiment, Cowiebhoy a big thank you to you for being a great host.. fantastc night amongst some great Tims.

     

     

    The Bhoy Jinky thanks for getting me there and back. If Oldtim had his way the detour to his would have seen us still there no doubt.

     

     

    Shower, breakfast and then Pub before setting off to lift the Cup.

     

     

    Have a great day Tim Land.

     

     

    Keep the Faith!

  3. Hopefully Paddy will get another chance to show us what he can do today. Wide open spaces to exploit – Could be Paddy time.

     

    Will be sorry to see him leave, one of the more gifted players in the squad and I rate him highly – not that that matters one bit in the scheme of things

     

     

    Think the game will be tight but if the team are motivated we should win. Beware compliancy bhoys.

     

     

    Some on here defending Daly? He knows the score, he knows what they represent. He knows there have been Catholics playing for the Zombies before and nothings changed. In fact they are more rabid then ever. And lets have no more pash about his having to earn a living for his family, Zombies not only team interested, or the Zombie FC trying to cleanse themselves. Recent statements from the zombie board – No surrender, WATP, talk of a new orange strip all pandering to the bigots.

    On a camping weekend in gloriously sunny Rutland.

     

    Wee country stroll with the dogs then off to Uppingham resplendent in the hoops to find a pub showing the game.

     

     

    Here’s hoping for a great game and Broonie lifting the cup.

     

    To all lucky attendees, have a fantastic day!

  9. Been to a few SC finals my favourite being the 1969 4-0 win against yon deed team aged 9 and got chased and battered by 2 Huns on Glasgow Green for wearing the hoops. It didn’t take away the enjoyment of the performance and result.

     

    Good luck to the team today feeling nervous and excited there’s nothing better than seeing Celtic running round Hampdump with the cup as a GIRUY to the SFA.Just do it lhads HH

  10. South Of Tunis on

    Greetings from a cloudy Roma —-a feels cold 19 degrees..

     

     

    Watched the CL Final in a bar in Trastevere —– Roma / Lazio fans bigging up for the underdog Dortmund ..

     

     

    Lots of tension re the Roma/ Lazio Cup Final. Heard a big cheese polis on the radio expressing a hope that it rains ..

     

     

    Lazio Management have advised the police that some mad mental Lazio Ultras have threatened the Lazio players ———-

     

     

    ” Should you lose , we will kill you. “.

     

     

    I will make no effort to watch the Scottish Cup Final. The SFA nauseate me .

     

     

    Have a good day , y’all.

    Well the big game is nearly upon us and I hope we are not to cautious if this were a league match we would expect to win so lets go out 100% committed to winning the Scottish cup.There will be several players at Hampden today making there final appearance for the hoops so lets hope they are determined to leave with a winners medal. After today the summer will be a period of rebuilding for the Champions league qualifyers and while im at it although I wanted Dortmund to win last night congratulations to Bayern Munich on winning the Champions league. H.H.

    I share your sentiment regards the sfa

     

     

    But my love for celtic is far greater than my negativity for the cheats of the sfa.

    NFL’s Hampden teamsheet update Sunday morning,

     

     

    James Forrest

     

     

    ========================================

     

     

    Morning,seriously that if it happens worries me.

     

     

    If NL needs to play JF then as a sub. I am also concerned about NL comments ” if we dont win judge us on the Season”.

     

     

    This is a ridiculous comment and was also mentioned by Forrest and ” I’m tired ” Lustig.

     

     

    Sorry but apart from winning the Title ( which is great )the Season has been erratic as regards a building exercise toward next season.

     

     

    Anyway unlike Neil I have no negativity other than confidence in his selection process.

     

     

    Off to dig out the lucky socks,leaving at 1.00.
