Another year, another “treble yell” from the Celtic family, this time from Lubo Moravcik. Lubo did it, of course, but that was 16 years ago, and despite playing monopoly with the league since then, we’ve not managed to add two trophies to the haul.
Celtic have secured one trophy, with the league title a formality, so the treble is now all about the Scottish Cup. The cynics will expect difficult draws (should we overcome Albion Rovers) and, perhaps, ground-breaking referee decisions. A grasp of history suggests our chances are no more than 50%.
I can understand Brendan Rodgers wanting to retain a fringe player, like Gary Mackay-Steven, in order to give the player a proper assessment during the second half of the season, but Gary needs to play football right now. A period on loan at Tannadice would help him return to form, and if it didn’t, it would answer a few questions for Brendan.

Goood evening CQN
No idea where BRTH has put others for Lisbon, but he has put me here
http://www.hotelborges.com/hotel-overview.html
For info – rooms becoming scarce, and he could not get a hotel to take the full group he has registered attending
I am flying from Liverpool, 24th – 28th, and was £132 return, £246 cheaper than Edinburgh Costa at weekend there
MIT – sorry last night into on St Lucia, it was Simon’s tours for the island tour – brilliant
Also Friday street party in Gros Islet is far better than Oistins in Barbados
Hail Hail
There is a lovely wee Portuguese owned cafe just behind the Huns end at Hampden.
The lhad and I had a nice wee lunch there before the LC final. They did lovely wee custard tarts. Well worth a visit.
The soup was good too.
Time to go.Far too many Neganon backside lickers on.
Give me the dry boak.
hhmmm …. I wonder if the sniffer dogs in the airports in Lisbon are trained to sniff out custard tarts in people’s luggage ….

I have had postings deleted that were not abuse did not include any of the sweary words nor words made to look like sweary words that are allowed daily here. (Dyslexic kids beware)!
No
Puerile and inappropriate
How is that for censorship?
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You know who you ate

Thankfully my sciatica is nowhere near your level.
I have pins and needles in my lower left leg 24/7, 365 days a year and have had for 4 years now. It is not an inconvenience, just there.
I thank God I do not suffer from serious back pain.
Cowiebhoy …. thanks. We have one day booked, but will arrange things when we get there. So, we will definitely look out for Simon!
I enjoyed oistins, so if this is more fun, then it will definitely be worth going. Cheers,
PS … Torontony was on here today saying that of him, BRTH and you, you were the sensible one! But, dont worry, I defended you! :)

Your lead will enjoy it.. barrio alto is great spot for beer at night .
Injuries … 3 major back pulls in last 5 years.. last 1 seems to hit nerve .. pins and needles right down front of leg.. just back at gym this week . Not easy at all.

You’ve had that checked by a quack, right?
JMccormik .. it is bad when it acts up, but fortunately, it comes and goes …so, most of the time, it is not a problem…
and as has been pointed out to me, fewer custard tarts would probably help! :)
Feel like the two old guys on the muppets! :)
I’ve been in Portugal on quite a few occasions but don’t ever remember eating a pastel de nata which is surprising as I quite like that sort of thing. I thought I would google it and also came across a pork chop bun which I initially thought was rhyming slang for something else ;-)

Cheers, he is well researched on best spots for bars and night life. He is staying in the old town and will do what all young lads do.
Enjoy himself. Lucky bassa!
I looked up a list of Portuguese protected designation of origin foodstuffs and surprisingly Pastéis de Nata’s are not listed.

You should start the ball rolling, on getting DOP status for Toronto custard tarts.

As Stadler and Waldorf would say….
” it’s good, not great but good…in fact not that good, actually pretty poor…in fact awful. Probably the worst thing I’ve ever seen. “
Ernie
Yep .. basically told glutes don’t fire up properly .. in between the severe pain .. 2years usually I’m training great and playing loads football then suddenly it comes back.. happened just before Christmas. Couldn’t even tie shoe laces and slept on floor.
Few massages and acupuncture has helped so back at training. Frustrating and would do anything for it not to return but not that confident it won’t. Seems like the best thing is to keep stretching as much as possible. Only 31 so hopefully I can get it sorted.
MIT
I wïll drop Torontony an email and 1 to you :-)
Hail Hail
Hunderbirds … I’m not sure that someone as pasty white as me is going to be able to pass myself off as an authority on anything latin …. besides, I might be over the pastis … that pork chop bun that Pogmathon was mentioning has caught my attention!
“I was struck by the similarities between much of what was advocated by the British Fascists of the late 1930’s, early 1940s and what is happening today — much of what the traumatized workers displaced by globalization are hoping for from the Trump Administration. It was the worst of times then. It is looking more and more like the worst of times now. The various fascist movements that in World War II were aligned with Hitler’s Germany was then (both pre and post WWII) used as a rationale for world government/global governance. The rise of nationalism in Europe and here in the USA is similarly pointed to vigorously by those now urging “global governance,” i.e. Javier Solana, Strobe Talbott, ”

Nationalism will be used to bring in the New World Order… or maybe it Won’t be because the Almighty….. :)) he definitely has a sense of Humour.
End Times anyway, whatevaaaah way ye wanna frame it.
Brexit Trump excuse to bring in a HARD Global GOVERNANCE, after the catastrophic……economic collapse – caused by the same people.
There is always hope.
Noone knows the hour, that HEBREW Timeclock is running, it is so PRECISE, compared to others, IMO.
Jesus Christ taking away EVERY Sin, ffs, that is God incarnate. That is SOME power that keeps so many from REALISING THIS.
LOOK around you EVERYWHERE, there is your answer. Be not of this World. I’m Talking about the Symbols. Most have no idea but they generate Power for that Dark fecker. For Some reason Aidan REFUSED to play me at Quake 3. Go look at the Symbology in the Q3 game (Aidan is my Son).
I Loved Q3 as well. So fast paced.

Or should that be “Pastry white”
……….I’ll get my coat
Jmcc … two of the best characters on one of my favourite shows… and some great musical guests!
and it does remind me of CQN sometimes!
Cowiebhoy, he’s put me in the same hotel :-).
Apparently I’m in a double but I had suggested if anyone wanted to share with someone who drinks, swears, snores and farts a lot then I would be up for it :-))
Counsel for Coral suggests that in 2012 “the Rangers team was sold from Oldco to Newco.”

Sorry to hear of the pain. The physio I used is a good mate. He could not help initially , we tried acupuncture and even holistic stuff. I then did the chiropractor , about 6 sessions and he was a great help. Thankfully I had BUPA cover but I would have paid as he got me walking without pain in less than 3 weeks. May be worth looking into?
A wee Glesca woman and a baby were in the doctor’s examining room, waiting for the doctor to come in. The doctor arrived, examined the baby, checked his weight, found it somewhat below normal, and asked if the baby was breast fed or bottle fed. “Breast fed,” she replied.
Well, strip down to your waist,” the doctor ordered. She did. He pressed, kneaded, rolled, cupped, and pinched both breasts for a while in a detailed, rigorously thorough examination. Motioning to her to get dressed he said, “No wonder this baby is under weight. You don’t have any milk.”
“I know,” she said, “ah’m his Granny, but I’m glad I came!”

Not sure Awe Naw will give two hoots about being banned from the blog.
The level of debate has fallen in the last few years.
To many petty squabbles to wade through to find a thought provoking post.
There used to be a great mix of rancour and humour but only one remains.
I still read daily and generally only post on match days particularly as having lived most of my adult life out of Scotland i was always excited hearing about Celtic from fellow Tims.
He was combative and abrasive at times but i for one will miss his posts..

Does his best to refute my assertion about sight lacking in humour:))
Awe_naw is big enough, ugly enough and man enough to take his punishment. A gentleman and as good a Tim as you are likely to meet. He won’t, however, thank me for saying that. Well not at his age.
As big Arnie would say – he’ll be back.
Green with envy as I read CQN plans for the Second Great Lisbon Airlift.
I went 4 years ago and I was astonished of forehead at how great a town it is – never mind visiting the Estadio Nacional, which was, well, emotional. It’s a warm, friendly fascinating city, and they love us. Still happy memories of the 67 invasion.
I can 100% recommend this strange and lovely place:

Might look a bit staid, but 20 to 30 of us rocked up there one night and had an absolutely fantastic evening into the wee hours.

After their humbling on Sunday I said there would be a “story” about how the Leipzig coach was so taken with McKay that he was ready to bid mega-millions.
Almost right – apparently Burke has him going to the EPL for big money!
A “Level” of predictability about that one!

We might not be too far away from the returning to the day that a numptie from Dumbarton came on to Radio Clyde claiming that the problem with Scotland’s international side was that it had too many Kafflicks in it.

MIT – I’m pretty sure the piriformis muscle can only be injured when doing a movement you haven’t done before or that you very seldom do; it could be related to digging into your wallet to buy me that beer about a month ago:)
I’d advise against any stretching or running….High intensity weights and sprinting is the way to go….Sprint doon tae the Portuguese bakers and buy a big box of custard tarts…..And aye I’ll squeeze a few in my suitcase fur ye.

Since Ally valued that team at £50m, that should leave a fairly healthy sum in the creditors pot! The taxman will be delighted!
Ah how I yearn for the old Internet bampot days when the Internet was known as the World Wide Web and bampots were known as the world wide Tims
