That pass from Tom Rogic, that’s the reason he is there. Yes, I know he does not get up and down the field as much as most other central mids, I hear you, we need to consider him an impact player, but not for the first time in his Celtic career, he made all the difference to the outcome of the game.
Jota’s first touch at the opening goal was worthy of the ball from Rogic. It would not have escpated your notice that it was a Kyogo tackle inside his own half that won the ball back for this move. No, I don’t remember Eddie doing this either. With players of this calibre, we will score a lot of goals and win a lot of games. The sublime shot from David Turnbull underscores what he is capable of. Don’t even waste time talking about the double handball inside the box: a foul to Celtic, or play on.
Six points adrift at kick off, winning a lot of games would not necessarily be enough. We need Newco to struggle for form and points. Fortunately, Newco look like an aging boxer slogging it out in one fight too many.
After the late winner at Pitodrie two weeks ago, I wrote, “When Jota got on the end of that cross, the season pivoted.” We were seven minutes from going eight points behind before that huge goal. What Celtic did not do last season was put pressure on Newco at any point in the season. Now, with more players coming back every week and fitness improving, pressure is being applied and the gap is down to four points. Momentum is with Celtic, we all know it’s true!
Anyway, that pass from Rogic……….. can you imagine being able to play like that?

The vast majority of Celtic supporters are comfortable with being Scottish; not so much British anymore. Same as most people, my family always respected war dead and wore poppies
For some of our support, the connection to Ulster is recent (parents or grandparents) so the crimes of the British Army there in 70s are raw and the remembrance and poppies are inappropriate
The problem for the former group is that right wing, racist groups have hijacked any aspect of the armed forces which makes it harder to continue the tradition
I personally will, even though I am in Ireland , as I don’t see a need to change

I would suggest that it was a judgement call by the medics who were in attendance. I wouldn’t underestimate their professional expertise and experience.
A better question is why the police wouldn’t allow a priest access to administer the Last Rites, particularly as the suspect had already been detained at the scene.
shaunamura- thanks for reply, i cited Friday as an example, would need to be in the most obvious circumstances
That nice fella that moved into the end of my street likes to do his dignified remeberance all year with a big poppy on the grill of the car, and his flagpole now has a poppy on a regiment flag.
HS- absolutely,it’s token politics…….without getting political……🤞

repeated threads that the founders considered themselves irish forced to live elsewhere, members of multiple irish political societies (some bi-lingual), attending rallies in dublin, hosting Davitt as the clubs joint patron.
they considered themselves irish nationalist, but that covered a lot of kinds.
revolutionaries (pat welsh) to monarchist and son of a soldier (maley wille, tom a wee bit different).
Known as “the irishmen” and “the club of the glasgow irish”.
if the chinamen had founded them , 130 years later, i ber they would still be know as the chinamen.
Well if the admirable Saint Stivs can make a poppy comment …..:-)
The whole wearing of the Poppy is now very different from that which it was before the Falklands issue..

That is a very good question that I can’t fathom, but they did call a helicopter that arrived at nearly three, as far as I have managed to find out, there were no ambulances available, now, if that’s in any way true, that is shocking, a private ambulance surely would have been available.
BTW, I don’t doubt the expertise of paramedics, my Mrs worked in A & E for 15 years, often went to pick her up from her shift and sometimes waited for hours for her, so I know these people are 100% committed and trustworthy.
Ernie
I will amend that post, I am not sure about the availability of ambulances, it now seems that there was only machines answering phones, not people, that’s worse IMO
HS,
As a symbol, it absolutely was hijacked.
as an aside,
every now and again an image pops up i aint seen before.
this is celtic park 1897. I dont know the event.

‘…Go back and read it again. Then show me the quote from the priest saying he was opposed to the death penalty.
The guy was in favour of the reintroduction of the death penalty. No one is contradicting or disputing that.
You are hardly honouring his memory by seeking to misrepresent his views so that they (I presume) more closely align with your own…’

The priest interviewed in the Irish Times doesn’t seem to think that he supported the death penalty.
https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/irish-priest-remembers-david-amess-as-a-man-who-took-his-faith-seriously-1.4702736
This quote is from the article
Fr Browne, originally from Ratoath, Co Meath, is the parish priest at Our Lady of the Apostles, in Pimlico, central London. In 2009 he became the first officially Roman Catholic duty priest at the UK house of parliament since the Reformation.
In that capacity, he got to know Mr Amess well. Fr Browne said the MP for Southend West was somebody of a strong Christian faith who was consistent in his pro-life views – he opposed the death penalty as much as he opposed abortion.
Can you tell me which specific part I have to read again? Did you yourself even read it?
Similarly, David Amess’ friend Stanley Johnson said he was surprised at being told David Ames’s was in favour of the death penalty.

The link is from my 2nd comment at 10.42
Your reply had 3 links , 2 to obituary pieces and one to a very old article stating he was in favour of the death penalty.
I’m more inclined to believe the words spoken POST MORTEM ie in the last few days by his priest friend and another of his friends as opposed to cribbed ontiuary/tributes by journalists or reports of his opinions that he held in 1983. I’ve certainly changed my views on things since then, is it not possible he has too and that the priest and Stanley Johnson are more aware of his thoughts than journalists are?
The alignment or otherwise of his and my views on the death penalty are an irrelevance.
I did not intend to reply, however the way you replied and your blindness to things contradicting your opinion made me do otherwise.
When I was younger I was as Scottish as the next man and when I lived in England I was quite pro;Scottish ( in the sporting world).
I returned to Scotia nearly fifteen years ago and now feel quite detached from Scotland as a sporting concept.Celtic are Celtic for me and neither Scottish nor Irish . I still have affection for Glasgow but even that is more the Glasgow of my memory than the current Dear Green Place.
I suppose being neither religious nor patriotic, I need something to create a sense of belonging to something wider and Celtic, to an extent, provides that.
height of ww1. earliest reference to the huns ? so not the sacking of wolverhampton at all.

I knew David Amess when I worked in the City of London in the late 70s and early 80s. I can categorically confirm that he was 100% for the reintroduction of capital punishment in the UK. I would go as far as to say he was a passionate and vociferous supporter of the death sentence. I know because we had more than one exchange of views on the subject. That was nearly 40 years ago.
As I said earlier, he gained some notoriety by announcing on BBC’s Question Time that he would have no hesitation in “pulling the switch”.
Now it is entirely possible that in later years he reversed his opinion but I would doubt that very much. After the Westminster free vote on capital punishment, the subject died a death, so he presumably moved on.

Read your article again.
There is no quote from the priest saying Amess was against the death penalty. There is editorial, written by the journalist to that effect, but no quote from the priest.
I’d invite you to watch the interview with Ian Dale on You Tube and see how Amess dealt with the opportunity to make it clear that he had changed his mind on this subject, as he had done on other controversial moral issues. He waffled and dissembled. He implied that support for the death penalty was not inconsistent with being pro life. Ask yourself why.
I repeat, You are disrespecting his memory by seeking, for whatever reason, to misrepresent his views.
Only in movies and tv crime shows ambulance crews turn up and remove a deceased person. The poor man was obviously deceased. Rip. Strange thing for me is why the guy has not yet been charged as far as I know
Anyway 3 1 to the good guys tommorow HH ☘

Catholic MP for a town (soon to be city) with a football team named Catholic United.
But yeah Scotland should leave the UK because the English are anti Catholic.
Some roasters on here making up their own Urban Myths.What Celtic fans don’t think Rogic is a great player?
What Celtic fans don’t think Turnbull is a class act?.Very few,but what they do realise is that players that play in this way are prone to having poor days.We have suffered badly from both having poor days at the same time.Ibrox game,when they were there for the taking,just one of them.It was Calmac against Hun midfield.
When any player plays poorly,it deserves a mention.And vice versa.
Celtic Board suddenly announce a much earlier AGM than normal, with a deadline of noon TOMORROW for submission of resolutions. This is a transparent attempt by the Board, previously complicit in Hun cheating, to be unanswerable to shareholders. They know that 100 ‘perfect’ forms are the minimum required, and doubtless every form with an undotted “i” or uncrossed “t” will be rejected by Nicholson and Bankier.
This Board will execute any dubious maneuver to avoid light being shed on their collusion with Sevco.

I worked with a Killie supporter over twenty years ago . He referred to Rangers as the Boche , the term the French used for the Germans .
