It was Back to the Future on Saturday afternoon, listening to Aberdeen rescue a point against Dundee was more like 1985 than 2015. TV highlights suggest Aberdeen pounded Dundee, but three excellent goals were enough for the visitors to set the stage for Celtic to return to the top of the league against Motherwell on Wednesday.
Aberdeen have been imperious in recent months. Incredibly, apart from Dundee and Celtic, they have failed to keep a clean sheet only once (at drubbing at Hamilton) since September. That’s title challenging form in any language.
This run is unlikely to endure as the vagaries of form and fortune catch them up, but it appears our long wait for a notional title rival looks to be over. Which is good.
Any business with operating expenses in the region of £33m a year, which is £2.75m a month or just over £600k a week, that had to borrow £500k in the first week of the month in order to pay an unexpected tax bill of the same magnitude, will by now be in urgent need of funds to pay rates, other tax liabilities, electricity and gas (no matter how little they used on Friday), while wages day is approaching. And remember, those gardens don’t ‘duty’ themselves.
Newco Rangers will need a loan, or to sell a player for cash, to avoid imminently slipping into insolvency. If Dave King is confident about carrying shareholders at a March EGM, and has the resources, he should loan the club money to get them through the next two months, no strings attached. A bit like John Keane did for Celtic in 1994. With insolvency looming, Keane, currently a Celtic director, but at the time an agitator for boardroom change, wrote a seven figure cheque, no strings attached, to pay-down Celtic’s overdraft, as the Bank of Scotland threatened to call in administrators.
Anything less than this is playing into the hands of Mike Ashley.

I think Ann Budge understands the feelings within her support and she will ask the necessary questions when she has all the information. She probably has sufficient information just now but she wasn’t about to get mugged on the steps at Hampden. Her only problem will be who she asks…
HH
Sorry west end, missed you’re post in beteeen
TheTimReaper
Don’t take the train to Mount Florida.
Get a cab to The Stadium or to The Brazen Head pub.
From the Brazen Head you can walk to the stadium with thousands of other Tims.

Celtic and Valencia both trying to sign Darren Fletcher from Man.Utd Fletcher is out of contract in the summer and he is supposedly making his decision in the next two weeks.If true he could be a good signing as he has lots of experience. H.H.

Bound to have staggered in the doorway of most of them at some point:)

20:31 on 19 January, 2015On another topic I would give Aberdeen 7000 tickets to sell for the next league decider at celtIc park.We would then sell out ours.Rivalry it’s called.
That’s if the game is on the Sunday,rumour it might be moved to Monday night…
Cheers Tiny Tim and Delaneys Dunky

Monday night for TV probably if true. Would give us another day to recover from Milan.
St Stivs
Only know the Dalmuir, Yoker, Scotstoun and Partick Chapatis.
JFH-Darren Fletcher will be miles above our pay grade,Moyes might take him .
Bada & stivs,

Mrs Budge will be sorry for complaining…..the sevco sas will swoop and leave rotting fish everywhere…Gorgie will be like the North Sea by the time they are finished.

Bada Bing. Money might not be his motivation now as he is a multi-millionaire he might fancy a return to Scotland. However, only time will tell. H.H.

If getting a supporter’s bus or taxi to the game ain’t an option.
From the west-end, if you can get a train, I’d do that to the High st and walk down to Glasgow cross, Saltmarket over Clyde and follow the straightish road through the Gorbals then make sure you take a left just after you cross the M77 bridge, DON’T continue up Cathcart rd as the Huns end is up there, then it’s a walk up Aikenhead rd. It’s a 40 minute walk.
I’d avoid the town if possible tbh and don’t, DON’T get the train from Central as it’ll be crawling with that lot going to Mount Florida.
Monday night gor Sheep game, would be another kick in the Dennis Laws for the punters IMO
TGM
Sure the Langy zombies would love him too! :)

**MATCH REPORT**
Plenty of goings on in the ole Sith Ifrica v Algeria game.
After a goalless first half (which I didn’t see!) the Sprinbox (eh) took the lead on 51 mins through the ever reliable Phala. 2 minutes later and SA are awarded a penalty and a chance to go 2 up. But Rantie shoots like my Auntie and hits the bar.
Algeria manage to equalise on 67 (yes, that sixty seven) but only with the aid of a fine headed own goal by Hlatshwayo. 4 minutes later and Algeria take the lead when their recent acquisition from Middle Earth, Ghoulam, shots high into the net.
Algeria sealed the victory on 82 minutes when the SA goalie, Keet, decides to dive over the ball rather than on to it.

Once again, A new poster’s opinions don’t fit with those of the clique, hence the guy gets duffed up on here.
CQN shouldn’t have snobbery or elitism.

Yep, you’re right. In an ideal world it shouldn’t. Just a shame we’re not living in one!! Instead we have the A-listers and then the lowly who haven’t made the cut.
