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!

  1. Away to read a book to while away the next hour. ‘Lion In the Fold’ – it’s not about Lisbon…… it’s about Jim Larkin.

     

     

    Highly recommended.

    BMCUW – thanks to you too. Where you watching the game today?

     

    No ticket for me, so probably watch in the house….while the missus does the garden! :-)

    Brown Brogue Corporation special:

     

     

    What was the point in showing Neil Lennon throwing his chewing gum there?

     

     

    A few clips of poor defending from us ends with Griffiths scoring against Celtic at Easter Road. No problem with any of that.

     

     

    The Lennon clip at the end of the feature came from the semi-final at Hampden when Lustig hit the post with his header.

     

     

    Pointless but predictable.

     

     

    We’ve already had eight seven Sevco goals.

    He puts the ball in the net eh!

     

     

    He’s Portugese and he scores with ease

     

     

    Walking in a Cadete Wonderland

  13. Good afternoon CQNers,

     

     

    Suffering the mother of all hangovers, just gonnae nick up the bookies and do a couple of bets, although a Hoops win will get my double thanks to the Munchen.

     

     

    Thanks to Cowiebhoy for last night, apart from ACGR’s lethal whiskey( couldn’t handle the 59% proof but the 53.5% went down a treat ) those chicken goujons were magic.

     

    the boy jinky, thanks for the lift, BT you can swally, best time I’ve had in ages. Good to meet some really nice people, woke up on couch, still got my sticker name badge thingy on.

    A pleasure and honour to have the CQN 25th Big Cup Winners Bhoys as company last night, keep the party going today

  18. pabloh_AKA_NEIL LENNON on

    I would’ve started Sammy but more of a goal threat with Stokes playing. MON THE HOOPS!!!

  19. kevinlasvegas on

    We know the team, looks solid enough, two strikers missing though not sure if that’s wise. So if Hoops is off it today, its all on KC’s shoulders.

    4-2-4 in a cup final is an adventurous exciting line up

     

     

    Brown and Ledley will have a hell of a midfield defensive shift today
