I don’t like the run-up to home games against Kilmarnock, this was especially so when Gordon Strachan was manager. Someone would always ask Gordon the 1955 question, “Gordon, did you know….” If you don’t know the question, don’t go looking for it. It’s a fact that should ostensibly give you confidence but it only puts me into a nervous disposition. During Gordon’s time, every game felt like a must-win game. The carnage on here after a 2-2 home draw with Dundee United lives long in the memory, so the burden of a reversal at home to Kilmarnock would have been intolerable.
Celtic have an enormously impressive history which can inspire great things in the support but sometimes it’s evidently a burden to those having to go out and win the next game. Jock Stein’s famous, “The Celtic jersey doesn’t shrink to fit inferior players” quote was meant to inspire greatness and awe, but I’ve seen it used to damn contemporary players who were in no way inferior to some who played for Celtic in Jock’s latter years in charge.
Kilmarnock beat Rangers last time out and will feel as though they let two points slip away against us earlier in the season. Celtic should be sufficiently concerned to avoid premature Christmas cheer.
Best wishes to our friends at the Melbourne No. 1 CSC, who will be celebrating Christmas during tomorrow’s game.

He didn’t slag the support in my opinion.
Like our elders he tried to cool a few of our young lads (us) on what or not what to do.
You and I are now those elders and we need to pass on our advice.

Still the same old town along the road from you, a82.
Petec
A wee hike up our hills would be interesting, you are clearly aff yer heid, and I am a discerning viewer of feral Dumbartoners.
Rascar Capac says:

On the contrary, I don’t think I’ve ever had so much control of my heid.
Television and MSM manipulates minds so much it is frightening. TV is just a mind controlling implement IMHO.
If that makes me a rocket in your mind, who am I to argue.
Have you ever caught any sizable fish in Loch Humphrey? 1lb+?
Petec
You are a man who says what he means.
I don’t fish.
When I stand on the shores of Loch Humphery, I feel good that i’ve done my training.
I love the isolation, I love those hills.
Rascar

You seem like you are pumping yourself up for something Rasc, you got a World title fight upcoming you kept secret from CQN?

and if only the protesters had conformed and been Euro friendly with their banner, or even dyslexic.
Maybe Neil Lennon is delivering Exoteric messages to the profane(media)……. A total reversal of exoteric/esoteric stuff from the secret societies.
Neil is SMART and he could have been delivering a blow like that.
Thank You Rascar Capac,

Apologies for these crap adverts. IE6 should be retained by anyone of old technology.

Well,that was a pleasantly short shift.
Now to get cracking on the Christmas dinner.
Bit early,perhaps,but alcohol is very much in the plans for later.
And tomorrow……..

CQN night-shift, sucks when Margaret McGill izny on! IMO!
Anyway….

Just saw a snippet of this,that was enough.
Most of the wimmin on there need to take a razor to their armpits,not very pleasant at all.
Obviously they’d been blunted previously on their chins.
Right. Turkey time for me.

Was just hearing tonight that, karate-kicking Ruth Davidson(leader of the Scottish Conservitives) is the grand-daughter of the late, Bobby Davidson who, if memory serves me correctly was, one the GRAND MASTERS of the Scottish refereeing circle who, certainly wasn’t slow in showing where his allegiances lay.

One for the night shift music afficionados.
Roger Waters is playing Brisbane soon. It is advertised as ‘The Wall’.
I’m a big Pink Floyd fan, but not sure about this one.
What d’ya reckon?
Worth a punt?

Mortgage your house to see it!
IMO,the album was a tad too conceptual,therefore flawed,but he has been getting fantastic reviews for the show.
Also,probably your last chance to see him on stage.
Worthwhile picking up a copy of David Gilmour-Live at Gdansk. Double CD,throw the first one away-kidding-and wallow in nostalgia.
A few herbal remedies will help…..

Haha,I know what you mean!
Here’s something that,while not a barring offence,comes close.
I was born 10 minutes before Orange Walk day,under a Union Flag,and as a hun.
Alright,it was in a British Army hospital in Germany-hence the hun part-but most of my hun mates are jealous as f..k!
One of them,and his wife,tried their damnedest to have a kid born on that day,but gave up after eight.
True story,the sad bassas!
Top of the morning to you all from a dark, windy, but mild Fife.
Kenny Sheils was quite cute in the Mail yesterday and said something to the effect of;
“it is commonly believed that Celtic get all the decisions of the refs since Neil fell out with them last year, but I don’t buy that”
I’ve always liked Sheils and he was the only one to come out four square behind Lennon last year in the bombs and bullets thing.
Can’t blame him for putting pressure on today’s ref in the subtlest way, but it does have the desired effect I suppose.
Who is M.I.B. today?
Tom, Roger Waters is a genius, go for it. He is pink floyd. Never had any time for them after he left.
Big Nan, the referee today is George Salmond. Nothing fishy about him :-)

I predicted earlier that we would gubb Killie 4-0 but, since you have revealed Mr Salmond as the ref then, I have to say that something fishy might be going down ???

Slan_Abhaile:
I’m down your way over the course of the holidays, meeting up with a couple of guys who were flooded out from their homes in the Lockyer Valley around this time last year. I remember all you posts of concern from that period so if you are about and want to meet up with some real guys, I’ll show you the Pink Palace and Rebel Mountain.
BTW, are you still of the opinion that Neil Lennon should be booted out the door?
Good morning friends and a very Happy Christmas Eve from a fairly wet and windy East Kilbride.
An early rise (for a Saturday) but not sure whether it’s the excitement of Santa or of the potential return of Izzy.
