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.

Get the chocolate car first and get them to put it in the fridge in the pub. Makes sense.

LiviBhoy, you’ve obviously not been in The Vale, you’re lucky if the beer is cold!
However, i like you’re thinking. Now i just need to heat up the wife’s cold shoulder :-)

Famously Razor Ruddock admitted that he liked to be suspended at Christmas and New Year so he could get on the bevvy.
Who in the SPL will be looking to get a red card tomorrow and why?
I would imagine a few Jambo players would be looking at a suspension to get a bit of part time festive work instead of playing matches.

The only thing worse than going to the pub and not getting a gift is getting it and leaving it in the pub.
There is only one cure for a cold shoulder. CASH!

Wouldn’t like to be 21 again, 31 would be good though, that would mean the wife would be 23, those were the days :>))))))
from PaulMcC…
Rangers, through Mr Whyte, released a statement to the effect that the AGM was being postponed as the tax case was due to resume in January, and Mr Whyte wanted to come to the meeting with more concrete news. However, that is not a valid reason for failing to hold an AGM!
Failure to do so is a criminal offence. Will the Directors of Rangers be prosecuted for this failure?

can someone please explain to me how it is a criminal offence ? i am not so clever when it comes to this type of thing
thanks

After a read back, I see what you’re on about now, looks like at least two posts were deleted at 5 and 6am ish, its unusual and others have noticed similar.
I did notice that the xxx guy has been deleted from last night and early morning, I think his link was to his own blog which included a womans address that he has issues with, it was a bit surreal.

TopCorner,
A company not holding an AGM is in breach of the Companies Act of 2006. An AGM has to be held within six months of the accounting date (end of June for the huns). A fine of up to £5K can be imposed.

the mention of Razor Ruddock reminds me of the time he was plating for Swindon Town and my nephew was walking through Swindon town centre wearing the hoops when Razor was walking the other way past him.
He then screams out, ‘up the Celts’, much to the bemusement of the Thursday afternoon shoppers.
i was raised on Celtic – thai tims

from earlier, that place would have fetched a lot more a couple of years ago..
still on the list should I get the gig one..
thanks Gordon
clever cloggs

Plating- obviously ‘Playing’ but the way his girth was expanding he was probably doing both.
or the big one even..
NegAnon2- Full of Christmas spirit.
Get a reality check, we can only sign the players we can afford, and to be frank Stokes, Hooper, Samaras, Keatings and who knows- Bangura- may just be good enough to overcome the mediocrity of the SPL.
Also- Don’t always believe what Neil Lennon tells the press.
Carlo Ancelotti to take over at PSG on a cool £5m a year
bt
i think someone will get a nice deal there
probably knock it down and build
either one new house or a few
to sell for a profit
such is life
good luck
:)
btw
it was in his wifes name as he was a lawyer
and in case he got sued, he had been advised
to have it in her name
makes sense i spose

I would hope the same as you that Lenny has his eye on a striker for this window, we only have two decent strikers and if one becomes unavailable then we’ll struggle for goals, we need to bring in a quality striker.
ps remember this all started with the non story about the monster munch going to Celts….. anybody with one brain cell would have worked that out as being bull.

HH to ye!
Is a reality check the opposite of a Rangers cheque?
NegAnon2
I agree with most of what you say re the suits, but given that we may lose the league due to cheating, which I believe is a distinct possibility, maybes the suits feel the same and will decide to save a few bob and bring nobody in.
In saying that we have brought in a Swedish international full back, who I think will be the biz.
The squad we have are well good enough to win the league.
My gripe with the suits is their lack of action against the sfa, the cheating is so in your face it’s a joke, a bit like the hide it in plain sight, so feckin obvious it’s taken for granted.

You live in Swindon? Watched a few matches in the Tap & Barrell on Manchester Road. Some good Bhoys in there. Very welcoming.

I was on late last night , and then read the blog this morning and noticed BCC’s posts and didn’t seem to be anything controversial.
The xxx guy was another thing entirely , did you read his blog ?
I saw this morning he accused me of being a psycopath amongst other things (I’ve been called worse) but his posts have all been deleted and the straitjacket has probably been put back on more securely this time.

As things stand at present Rangers could not get a licence for UEFA competition next season.
Hurdles to overcome before a licence can be granted:
Audited accounts
No unpaid tax (wee bill and Big Bill
No going concern qualifications in audited accounts
Not beimg in administration
Long odds.
Just finished work for the Christmas.
Dinner finished and watching The Quiet Man on TV.
A quiet start to the festivities.
Ole DBBIA is looking forward to Great Expectations on the BBC next week, but maybe he shouldn’t get his hopes up.

They shouldn’t have had a licence this year, so the odds I would wager are about even money.
What colour do you require btw ?
