I should know better, but the SFA ban on Albian Ajeti was simulation at Rugby Park was as surprising as it was ridiculous. Killie’s Colin Doyle, went to ground fully committed but was beaten to the ball by Albian. The keeper clipped the Celtic striker’s heel when he was unable to make contact with the ball without going through Albian.
It is up to the match officials to decide if that was enough to merit a penalty but with contact made in this manner the player should not be punished for going down. The officials got themselves into a mess for missing the first half penalty on Odsonne Edouard, just as the SFA got into a mess when judging the apparent good character of a player who committed a dangerous act. We have weak football governance in this country, in case you didn’t notice.
Stephen Robinson resigned as Motherwell manager in the first days of the New Year after a form slump that ended with a 3-0 defeat to Hamilton. Under new manager, Graham Alexander, the Fir Park side have lost only once (at Pittodrie) in five games, that includes one of the rare occasions Newco have dropped points this season.
There are no easy games for Celtic these days and tomorrow’s will be as challenging as last weekend’s visit of St Mirren. We have the playing squad to record another comfortable victory, but I suggest you avoid betting on it.

Get Kevin Bridges to do the Celtic TV commentary, might cheer us up till the season ends.
I know that Gerry McLaughlin (actor, comedian, presenter) was up for the Celtic Tv gig at the same time as Gerry McCullogh but they gave it to him instead. He (Gerry McLaughlin) would have made such a better job of it.
FT- anything else would be an improvement
By the looks of things, the first comment on today`s match will be when Embramike posts the team selection :-)

Lol ridiculous as ever.
!!BADA BING!!
Get a petition started to get him out and replace him with your favourite commentator…….
JUDITH RALSTON ….Oh my days 😂😂😂
Anyway, what’s Shane Duffy doing playing in goal for Villa? Mind you…

@CelticFC v Motherwell line up …
Bain, Kenny, Ajer, Waish, Taylor, Brown, McGregor, Turnbull, Rogic, Edouard, Ajeti
Subs: Barkas, Duffy, Soro, Laxalt, Henderson, Elyounoussi, Johnston, Klimala, Griffiths
Good luck to the Celts today.
I’ll be watching on the Passport wanting it to be a game of our forwards against their defenders. Good time for a hat-trick hero.
————————
Doing the rounds yesterday was a great picture of a starry plough metal badge designed in honour of the Irish Citizen Army by podcaster Lorcan Collins. See 1916risingdotbigcarteldotcom.
Obviously, what’s required now is for an entrepreneur to transfer the design to material, shape the material into a face-mask in assorted colours and rake in millions.
The badge is a bargain at €7, I’d say. No Celtic cap should be without one.
Marspapa- 2 up top?🌤🌤
Picture Book, The Flower Pot Men and ahem, Muffin the Mule.
Amazing stuff.

:-))))
I am reasonably happy with that selection but I am not so sure if Griffiths and Soro wil be .
Tom Rogic owes us a performance – is Ryan injured – not on the bench

!!BADA BING!! on 6TH FEBRUARY 2021 1:48 PM
I saw that and thought,` Ah, good. We are onto match comments now..`..then I read back a bit :-)))
Rogic
I think I’ll un a sweep for when he is substituted
I assume Turnbull will be moved right to accomodate Rogic in the diamond.
I do hope it’s our forwrds agains their defenders- that way we win.
But……..their team against our aerial defenders- without Duffy- thatworries me as much as having Duffy in the team does
Still haven’t received my notification about the jag, although the Scottish Government have repeatedly said that my age group should be completed by the end of next week……A bit of a worry.
Super Saturday:
Early morning `till 11:30am Cricket;
2:15 pm `till 3PM Italy V France Rugby;
3.00pm `till 4:45pm Celtic
4:45 pm `til 6:15 pm England V Scotland Rugby .
Likely outcomes ? Draw, France, Celtic,England.
Whatever the line up………………………..meh

I had mine this morning . If you are over 70 and havent heard by this time next week, make contact with the relevant authority.
My 82 year old brother, who lives in East Kilbride, got his yesterday and was told the second will be on April 17th. I wasn`t given a date for my second.
Picking names out a hat now — SB / GK is an accident haiting to happen.
GT needs to up his game / attitude / confidence — he is a better player than he thinks he is.
MF looks a bit unbalanced — SB played well on Tuesday against a team down on its luck / form.
Today will be a much harder gig.
Good to see AA getting a start — he needs minutes on the park.
Better player than we are currently letting him be.
DT will need to play a diffferent game with TR alongside him.
TR needs to play game full stop — currently phoning it in.
We have loads of talent — just a case we have no desire and focus.
Plus the coaching is non existant.
Game on then.

Oh dear, you’ll be claiming to be an Irish Catholic next.
Or a Fenian even.
Stick to the Bird Watching
You’re in good company there
It’s beyond a joke, no Soro and Rogic in. Rogic cant tackle and wont last 70 mins. Is Lennon trying to drive Soro out I think the Green Brigade are bang on with their comments.
Hail Hail.
Lennon moving the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Right, the anthems are being played so rugby time for me.
Incidentally,IMO, the Italy and French anthems are good and great reapectively then tomorrow we hae Ireland and Wales, again good and great reapectively. In between, we have GSTQ and F of S. Certainly, again IMO, by far the worst two of the bunch.
Cheerio for now.
Just saw the two comments before mine. If that`s the mood before we have even kicked off, I am glad I will be watching Rugby !
Celtic Mac
Ernie was right.
For whatever reason, you did traduce Brian Wilson’s position and leadership on Land Reform in Scotland.
https://www.scotsman.com/arts-and-culture/brian-wilson-highland-clearances-must-not-be-erased-history-322027
https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/19005143.brian-wilson-want-revitalise-rural-scotland/
His contribution has suffered and is unacknowledged because he does not subscribe to the SNP position which is to balme it all on English greed and lament about it.
Now – back to the fitba
Enjoy the rugby us supporters will still watch our team.

Marspapa- 2 up top?🌤🌤
No, doubt she’d make a couple of good points .
Her commentating would be a breast of fresh air .
Hot Smoked @ 2.17…agree. These guys aren’t supporters. They don’t support. I can’t understand that…
Brown shoe horned back into the side
stuck a fiver on Rogic first scorer
the negativity towards him will spring him into action
