Brace yourself. It was a simple step, but when referee Nick Walsh warned the Livingston keeper for timewasting early in the game last night, at a stroke he stopped one of the drags afflicting Celtic games. Hopefully other referees will hear of this ground-breaking move and act accordingly in future.
If a referee could only bring himself to notice the other Great Tactic when facing Celtic: put your body between ball and man, then flop to the ground when the Celtic player is in contact, our sport would be transformed. Until then, Celtic will doubtlessly continue their untroubled march to the title.
Greg Taylor is having the season of his life and was rewarded with the opening goal last night. Setup perfectly by his first touch, he shot through a busy penalty area into the corner of the net. It was just rewards for a man who has made himself invaluable to our play.
For the second time in a month, Daizen Maeda’s desire to press inside the opponents box brought the ultimate prize when an attempted clearance ricocheted off him into the net. If you don’t buy a ticket….. you don’t earn a league winner’s medal.
I am sure Livingston are better than they looked last night. As halftime approached, they appeared punch drunk and when a poor attempt to intercept failed, Kyogo was left one-on-one with the last defender. No one backed the defender. I expect even David Martindale looked away as his approaching team-talk turned into a ‘keep it respectable’ exercise. Still, he has the PPP Table to console himself with. If only Opta carried a points-per-pound stat he might get the Man City gig when Pep moves on.

“Marvin, marvin he was a friend of mine”
Wow what a lyric nearly as beautiful as the footie Ange has us playing.
My dreams are and always have been to see us win the European cup.
If you are going to dream why not dream big.

Watched that on BBC Scotland news, can’t see how the two brothers top is not the original one given the history.
Good morning all from Govanhill. Early taxi duty for a mate to the airport. Lucky git. 😁
Just passed Greyskull when dropping daughter off at Glasgow Airport.
It dark, it’s dilapidated, and it’s spooky. Greyskull is the perfect description for it. Kirsty McCabe was sooooo right.
The contrast with the Celtic way is stark.
HH.
Greyskull is the good guys place.
Snake Mountain is the baddies.
Geez

KLV,
We have had this discussion for yonks on here. Feel free to disagree.
However the whole scenario unveiled in 2006 when Kirsty McCabe described Ibrox as Castle Greyskull. Her words advised them to :-
” Wrap up warm if they are heading to Castle Greyskull ”
The huns as we know have no sense of humour and bombarded the channel with complaints. The BBC were forced to apologise.
This derogatory description has long outlasted He man and is a perfect definition for the home of the huns.
Passing it this morning it couldn’t be described more aptly.
That is why it will always be Greyskull for me and Parkhead for the good guys.
Cheers and HH.

From BBC Scotland online papers review.
A marriage made in hell!
Scottish actor Alan Cumming said he’d returned the OBE he was awarded in the 2009 Queen’s birthday honours list. But for what reason?
Australia’s central bank announced King Charles III’s image would not replace that of the late Queen Elizabeth II on the new five dollar note. But what will it feature instead?
Enjoy your day, bhoys.
What a fantastic time in Celtic’s history this is.
Off to work with a smile on my face.
Good morning from a damp North staffs
Scullybhoy is this a quiz?
1. as he has now learned about the horrors of British colonialism and doesn’t want to be associated with it. (I assume he lived in a cave in 2009) better late than never, I suppose.
2. Aboriginal art will replace aul’ Lizzie
Aussies looking for someone less offensive than Charlie. Apparently they have it down to a choice between
Dame Edna, Rolf Harris and Ned Kelly or put nothing on it and say it’s Harold Holt.

Interesting pub question tonight. Before Calum Davidson who was the last non Celtic/Hun manager to win the two cups in the same season?
Dont know the answer btw.
————
Ferguson won both cups in 86 with Aberdeen. Can’t think of anyone doing it after that (until Davidson)

###
Cos he’s just found out about imperialism and colonial oppression.
Apparently he didn’t know about any of that when he accepted the award in the first place. Which might suggest he’s not the sharpest of intellects.
Is he still living in the USA?
Because that’s an unlikely choice of residence for someone so concerned about such issues.
CONEYBHOY,
Just fired up the ole ‘puter to see your comment. YORKBHOY answered last night with the suggestion of Jim McLean and Fergie. At the time I did not know the answer, but was sure that Jim McLean, the happiest man in Scottish football, had never won the Scottish Cup. When I got back in I found that Fergie won both cups in season 85/86 and like you I can’t think of anyone else.
The discussion in the pub had started because of the nonsense decision to rush through the Manager of the Year for the Scouser thhat season as Davidson had already won the League Cup and cuffed the Stickies at Ayeboaks in the Scottish Cup. The true Manager of the Year that season, spending a fraction of the budget enjoyed by Slippy G!!
Ave Ave
Oops. Just found out that Fergie did it again with Aberdeen in season 89/90.
Well done that man.
Alan Cumming.
It is well know that many citizens of the USA are detached from events in the rest of the world. Subsequently since Allan became an American citizen in 2008 he has just been informed that Britain no longer has an Empire. He is gobsmacked that the OBE he received in 2009 is a token only and the Empire he imagined is no longer and worthless. In short; he has just been told the truth and taken the huff 14 years later.
Or he is simply trying to take the heat of Nicola in her time of need. After all , a long time ago he used to live in her country.
Well you did ask.😀
Greenpinata…agree with Castle Greyskull and Parkhead…
Re Alan Cumming– publicity when he received it, publicity when he rejected it…nada mas.
He Man and She Ra were regulars on the Cardonald No1 bus running out the Argosy pub on Paisley Road West back in the 80s.
They lived at Castle Greyskull, one of those nice sandstone buildings , designed by Rennie MacKintosh lesser known wee brother Danny.
The house is on Mosspark Boulevard overlooking Bellahouston Park and famously was were He Man had the scuffle with Pastor Jack Glass who was being a nuisance and spoiling thier view of the Popes visit.
He Man also tried to sue the BBC for the Kirsty McCabe slander associating his home with an Edwardian Toilet block as a gross mis representation as everybody in celtic circles knows a fairer description would be to call it Snake Mountain , which is where Billy Skelator runs the Kinning Park Loyal Rangers Supporters club from.
That any Celtic fan thinks it is ok to call it Castle Greyskull is a scurrilous and lazy acceptance of a great injustice and on a par with Calling Celtic Park, Parkhead or the much more serious middle class estuary slang of “parkers”
This is why people dont post on CQN anymore, inaccuracies like that.
Dearie Dearie me .
In the words of John McEnroe .
