Celtic were near their silky smooth best against Hearts on Saturday. It looked like their fifth competitive game of the season, and Progres(s) on what we’ve seen in Europe. We now have two games in Glasgow – Kilmarnock on Tuesday and Partick Thistle on Friday, before Astana’s visit on 16 August.
Brendan Rodgers job will be to ensure the players’ fitness is near peak by then. The tiredness, which was apparent late in the game against Hearts, should be replaced by energy in the tank.
It must have been fingers in the ears time in various places across Scotland, as the World Athletics Championships dealt with the consequences of handing out prizes to those who didn’t compete within the rules years ago, while pondering what to do with those who were caught cheating, but remain at the top of their sport.
Athletics is trying desperately to move on. Jessica Ennis-Hill’s gold medal, awarded six years late, is a necessary step in the right direction. It’s not the same as winning on the track, not by a long shot (put), but athletes know their sport is intent on doing the right thing, no matter how long it takes.

THE GREEN MAN @ 11:06 AM,
It’s very true… we now have layers of this deceit. Somethings we will never get to the bottom off, others are proven.
The Dougie Dougie thing was a great example of what your talking about. Cheating always leaves it’s Mark, you can’t foul all of the people all of the time.
Our Paranoia is no more…
Thanks, in my posts often I’m thinking out loud, just trying to make some sense of it all, I think many are in a similar situation and like seeing it expressed. Also we have some very knowledgeable posters who try to raise the fog in the less coherent comments:)
Hail Hail

WHAT IS THE STARS on 8TH AUGUST 2017 11:27 AM
Brexit pragmatism.
Many Tims will be eligible for an Irish ( ergo EC ) passport.
I’m sure sure some of our younger guys may not know this other little genius from Man City…

If Man City have said Paddy has no future at Celtic why would the Bhoy be talking about a loan. If he wants to come home to Paradise pull it up, get the moolah on the table and make it real..
Mon The Hoops feat Mr Roberts
Starry,I dont for a minute believe that Man city have said anything of the sort.We have a good relationship with them.Brendan very highly thought of.Paddy will be assured of European football until at least Xmas.No one else will offer him this.We all saw the difference from the wee boy that arrived with all the tricks,as he turned into the superb player he now is.Celtic fans dont make heroes easily.

I was on the road all day yesterday just logging in when I had a wee second, I understood that Pep had said he had no future at City??
Is that not true??
Aye I think we do have a good relationship with City and I think it’s one based on they know how professional our football club is run and that their loan players are well taken care of by our team:))
The way the EPL is now we will always be looking for good players down there who have little chance of first team action is the over bloated squads of Englands major teams..
Paddy must be overwhelmed by the out pouring of love from Celtic fans:)) And as you say we don’t make heroes easily..

THE EXILED TIM @ 11:32 AM,
You maybe surprised at what I’ve been up against;)
I know how Justice “works” how the “establishment” operates. I know the ruthlessness in how these people function as individuals and worse as you say, as a Cabal.
Democracy and a General in the Whitehouse, tells you all.
The rules are for the little people, I know.
But they can be and will be exposed from time to time, though I accept will never be defeated.
My feeling is if we can bring enough pressure to bare on the SFA, something will give, they are on the back foot.
One thing is obvious though, they don’t know how to run a Successful Football Club.

Please let the rumours regarding wee Paddy be true.
surely if new evidence came to light, then Hampden Park is the last place that you’d bring it?
BhoyjoeBelfast. The likes of Danny McGrain , Kenny Dalglish an others who joined the cached by Wullie Fernie , say he was a big influenc on their developement.
In the 76/77 season when Wullie was toe Kilmarnock manager, it was one of the most attack minded teams I have ever seen but they coud not defend and ended up relegated.
Just remember that the strongest instinct at Hampden (and anywhere else for that matter) is Self Preservation.
There are dark clouds over Hampden and there will be a race for the umbrellas but there won’t be enough to go around.

I’m sure you have heard me saying this, we had them by the balls a few years ago, they were just about falling over, Dr John was going in for the kill, then he was told to back off, then there was silence.
I want to know who told him to back off and why.
I have also said a few times that a level playing field will not make for decent competition in scotland, we would win virtually everything so what would be the point.
The best thing the rest of scottish football could do for the good of the game, is to lobby whomever it takes to get us the ef out of scotland.

Good thinking. That way we could shake off the Masonic chains and the other teams would get to keep the blue bigot pounds rolling in. It would never happen though.

I doubt John Reid ever backed down in his life. A Rottweiler of a politician.
He knew what he was saying back then. And had probably been warned not to.
But say it,he did. He put it out there for the rest of us to deal with,then took the advice,knowing he had lit the fuse.
No idiot,that man.

Now that you mention it: have you ever seen John Reid and BMCUW in the same room at the same time … ?

John Reid left his position to join the House of Lords, maybe it was this that stooped him or someone inside the club as you say. Dirty business all this nothing is impossible.
I would have hoped that he would not sacrificed justice for Celtic and sorting corruption to set himself up for life.

Woooft.
Willie Fernie was My Da”s hero.I saw him a couple of times in the Hoops,but too young to remember him.I saw him play against us at Ibrox in a semi final where we got gubbed around 1960,1961 time.Think it was St Mirren.
A wee story.In 1967 myself and 3 other Tims went across to see N Ireland vScotland,the george Best game.I had met a couple of Irish girls the year before,and they invited me over.We crossed from Stranraer to Larne to the strains of the flute bands.We arrived in Belfast around 8 in the morning,wandering about looking for The Falls Rd.A few would not give us directions,but a Copper did.We arrived at the bottom of the Falls,and a couple of hundred yards up we came across a bakery,a big one.Went in and bought the usual,starving.i asked the guy serving if he knew the address,he said,”Wait a minute,i will ask the Big Fella”.This guy came out,asked us where we wanted to go,and said he would take us in his van.We piled into this bakers van,me in the front,he was telling us it was a fair distance to walk,and he knew the family we were going to.I kept looking at him thinking “I know this guy”.So I asked him”Are you by any chance Charlie Tully””I am indeed”he replied.We were all dumbstruck,but he was.Told us later he was meeting Jock Stein and a reporter from the People,Blair,Jocks friend and going to the game.Dropped us at the door.
Never forgot it.when I told My Da he was delighted,really chuffed I had met another of his heroes.

Appeals and time bars.
Some of you may have read that the UTT found against the DWP’s practise of time barring appeals ?
Are there parallels/precedence/ changed opinion in the Scottish football bodies’ latest dereliction ?

I have no idea if it was someone within the club or not who silenced him, someone did.
When he came out with the stuff I was delighted,I thot that finally the sfa et all would get the cleansing it needed, he sounded serious to me so why not go through with it, had he hoped others would take up the mantle and only to see nothing happening you would have thot he would have gone back to finish the job, No.
Whatever, I am not getting exited, heard it all before.

Anagrams.
As a naive teenager, I used to pile the cash into the puggy machines in the pub. Wouldn’t think anything of sticking a fiver in. ( don’t seem much now but when you’re earning £25 per week or so it was too much)
Anyhow:
An older uncle of mine, a proper gentleman he was too, said to me one day:
” did you know slot machines is an anagram of – ‘ cash lost in me’?
I didn’t actually but have never forgotten that!! Odd the things that stick in your mind from 40 years ago when you can’t remember what you had for breakfast this morning!

All good things come to those who wait and beware the wrath of a patient man!!
Thanks BRTH – just rankles me that a decision was made when a key fact was subject to appeal.
In making the journey from man patient to patient man, I found both give much time to think !
Hello Bhoys. Hope you are all well. Not Posted for awhile but been lurking.
Hope all our hopes are not dashed in this latest revelation of cheating at IPox.
Let’s hope.
