In the early years of our re-emergence as a ‘proper’ football team under Martin O’Neill, Celtic were patronised by the suggestion that they ‘don’t play friendlies’, largely as a result of Martin’s ability to win games against teams from south of the border.
That comment is seldom aired these days, as for many years, Celtic have stretched their muscles in friendlies without worrying too much about the score. Gordon Strachan’s teams would lose the meaningless games with regularity but would largely win the important qualifiers which followed. So much so I’d probably feel uncomfortable watching Celtic apply themselves too much when it didn’t matter.
We will get a good measure of how match fitness needs to improve ahead of Champions League qualifiers in two weeks when we face Ukrainian aide, Sevastopol, tonight. Ukrainian football is one of the most sought-after properties in the game at the moment; the Russians have been making amorous overtures to the entire league, as they hope to build a super-league by joining up with the Ukrainians. I’m sure Celtic officials will have an active interest in the subject ahead of the game.
No injuries, please, you can forget about the score.
Delighted to hear Roy Keane is coming up for the Celtic Charity #19 game for Stiliyan Petrov’s Foundation on 8 September. Stan played with some timeless Celtic heroes (Roy’s 13 games doesn’t give him enough material to qualify for this accolade) in his seven years at the club; my money is on the event selling out (ticket details at bottom of page) as they are confirmed one at a time……

Googybhoy–we set their vision in 1967.They’re still looking for their own vision to set–in the meantime it’s a big bus with wheels wot go roun’ an’ roun’.They bought and cheated their way to cups and titles. You can’t do that with the European Cup or Champion’s league.If all the riches of Saudia Arabia came in behind them they still couldn’t do it.Bullies and cowards.

Hes on a drought
astonishing interview between Mcoist and Jabba (given they both work for and represent rangers). Mcoist is extremely defensive and not at all comfortable in the managers seat – his body language and word use showed a lack of confidence and control. Jabba continues to drive the hatred strategy “no one likes us we don’t care” and this will be their downfall – fair play to him for asking edgy questions , i don’t think he was expecting mcoist to be so weak.

Daily Record first editon out.
bottom banner headline, front page
Neil Lennon – interviewed by the Police
inside page “Neils meets Stuart Copeland at a pop festival. “.
Just caught a glimpse of C.Ronaldo on SSN , looks like a rugby player

Well, I’ve just heard big Jabba interview wee Jabba and I’m now wishing I hadn’t listened to the end.
You might have warned us all that big Jabba reveals that he now knows that he was wrong to say that oldco lost their history when they became insolvent. Isn’t it terrible that he is the only journalist man enough to admit that he was wrong while all the others (like Spiers?) try to maintain that liquidation is a different thing from relegation.
I thought that too and I know that many of you did too!
Feeling very foolish now. Going to have to go in and apologise to all the Sevcovians tomorrow which will not be easy following on from not having a new bus yet and all!
That’s the Double winning, Barca beating bubble well and truly burst now, eh?
Re Murray the tennis player, did I read somewhere that he is a Hibee.

It’s always difficult when money gets between people. ‘Neither a borrower or lender be’ Or ‘don’t promise sugar and deliver sh1t’.
The bitter hatred evident in the interview has its roots in the soil of unpaid debt.
Jabba and the steakbake scoffer have a history that’s never been resolved.
Corky
So I hear
With the greatest respect. Ally knows Sevconians are outrageous.
Corkcelt
Yes it has been said a few times that Murray is a hibee ,
never heard him saying it.
Also someone on here posted that his dad was a Kilsyth Bhoy
Mo Rissey
Hes not often right… so give the oldest young manager credit this time ;).
His granda played for Hibs I believe.
Going to watch Question of sport tonight just because Neil Lennon is on it.
BBC 1 Scotland at 11:35pm. It’s on an hour earlier in England.

Starry, You need incentive. Post your weight on here at a specific time on a specific day each week. If you haven’t lost any weight we can slag the erse off you, if you do you will get all the plaudits.

The magic thing is its in your hands put the effort in and you will reap the rewards.

Of course all I had to do was Google Andy Murray Hibs and there was Murray holding up a Hibs scarf. That is my evidence to win a 10 Euro bet

Really pleased young Liam Henderson played a bit tonight.
Local laddie to me , lovely family , only 16/17, lives about a mile from me.
Remember him going to mass at a very early age.Still see him going with his family .
His dad was a pro with Partick amongst others.
High hopes for this kid and have heard him likened to playing like Paul McStay.( no higher praise can be given)
Plays with his head up and is very aware of a pass.
If he’s half as good as Paul we will be onto a winner!
Hail Hail
@CharlotteFakes
An awareness of intentions – perhaps!
Hopefully no contradictions between October 2011 and 14 Feb 2012.
