Celtic didn’t need to get out of second gear to overcome Dunfermline yesterday, making it one of the most comfortable performances of the season. After the festive season games against Rangers in the previous two seasons we played the team bottom of the league, Falkirk and Hamilton, both of whom were subsequently relegated, but we dropped points on each occasion. Teams fighting for SPL survival are filled with players fighting for money to pay their mortgages, no result can be assured.
Dunfermline are everyone’s hot tip for relegation but they are still missing several players and having watched Hibs capitulation against Hearts yesterday I reckon nothing is clear cut yet. Hibs are in trouble.

Very stupid comment about Bangurra, end off.
Pity about the bounce game against Hibs being called off,Bangurra,Wilson and Izzy need some game time not forgetting Paddy.
I think we will push the boat out and go for Diawarra.

philvisreturns………..Just a quickie, as you are aware I think your politics absolutely suck. However, do you REALLY think we would benifit from removing ourselves from the EU?
Why don’t you go nail your colours to the mast with those other nutters in UKIP? The cleverer Tories (ha!) recognise that exclusion is the politics of the stupid and ain’t for going down that suicidal route.
Our unemployment is going through the roof because the government have turned off the taps just when the economy needs fuel.
It is a completely self-defeating approach which will mean that deficit reduction targets will be missed because of rising welfare payments and falling output.
Nothing to do with the EU – indeed, for all its faults, withdrawal from the EU at this time would see unemployment rocket even further as multi-nationals relocating within the single market.
Cameron and Osbourne are silver-spoon economic illiterates. We will all pay the price for their incompetence.

I honestly cant believe you tried to deny the current Tory drive to privatise the NHS- having worked in and around the NHS for 30 years I can see it being dismantled piece by piece- especially in England

No worries

Tories have given £81 Billion of taxpayers money to GP’s.
GP’s are not in the NHS.
To a man/woman they are small independent Private companies.
Who gave this shower of incompetents the mandate to do that?

Gordon_J backing Neil Lennon – Attacks on the sick and poor – Ok he calls it welfare reform. But cutting housing benefit and letting ATOS loose on the disabled amounts to the same thing
1) Housing benefit currently costs us £20Bn a year. What part of “we’re broke” don’t you understand? Even Labour knows we’re broke. They left a note to that effect when they were chucked out of office:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/may/17/liam-byrne-note-successor
2) Housing benefit is going to be capped at around £20,000 a year per family. £20K a year! Just for housing! Anybody who claims this is is an “attack” on “the poor” needs to examine their perspective.
3) You know, and I know, and even the dogs on the street know that there are huge swathes of people on disability benefits who are “at it”. People in wheelchairs aren’t going to be made to dig coal. Again, thanks to your favourite political party, we’re broke, so we have no choice but to trim the nation’s bills.
Privatisation of the NHS – read some of the House of Lords’ views on the NHS Bill. Not exactly a bunch of radicals but even they can see the increased role proposed for companies to make profits
4) We want profit-seeking companies to provide more services for the NHS, to drive down costs and raise standards. This is not the same thing as privatisation, since the funding will still all come via the State. Most other Western countries, including our European chums, have much greater private sector involvement in their healthcare services than we do, and nobody claims that, for example, the French have privatised healthcare. By the way, the nasty Tories are also increasing spending on the NHS.
Immigration – pandering to the Daily Mail with plans to reduce immigration. They’re all dole scroungers and probably terrorists too, don’t you know?
5) I hope it isn’t too windy up on your high horse.
The vast majority of people in the UK want to reduce immigration, if the government finally listens to the democratic will of the people who pay their wages, then good. Nobody in the government has even remotely hinted at the vile insinuations you ascribe to them. (thumbsup)

Stairheedrammy – I honestly cant believe you tried to deny the current Tory drive to privatise the NHS- having worked in and around the NHS for 30 years I can see it being dismantled piece by piece- especially in England
I refer the gentleman to the answer I gave some moments ago.
Would you say that France’s national healthcare system has been “privatised” or “dismantled”?
BTW France has a much better healthcare system than we do.
There’s a reason why no other major country in the world runs its health system along the same lines as the NHS, and it’s not because they’re all heartless Tory dastards. (thumbsup)
Anyone got a link to the wee cameo of Charlie pi**ing himself laughing at Broadfoot near the end of the game against thems?
Cheers

The torries are doing the same to the prison service, police and fire brigade, Saving money in these area’s cost peoples life’s.
Addiwell and Kilmarnock prisons are a disgrace, cons more or less run the place, the main reason being they use camera’s instead of officer’s.
The best way to deal with prisoners is taking and building trusting relationships with them.

philvisreturns,
Some thoughts on the housing benefit proposals from another radical body, the Chartered Institute of Housing;
Housing benefit cuts will put 800,000 homes out of reach,
“A further 800,000 homes will be put out of reach of people on housing benefit because of government welfare cuts – leaving low income families the choice of cutting spending on food to pay the rent or moving out, according to a study by housing experts.”
Of course if you’re happy with the prospect of low income families being forced to move to cheaper housing …

Haha,our posts finally crossed!
Aye,I was talking about Bartley to some Arsenal fans at the weekend.
They could not believe that a player from their youth set-up had ended up playing that type of football,and are really disappointed.
Thing is,as they said,if they harboured any hopes for him as an Arsenal player,they would have been totally disgusted,so disappointment mirrors their disdain.
No future for him there,and he hasn’t shown enough as a footballer to have much of a future elsewhere at a decent level.
Someday he may reflect on his folly….

“The Honest Mistake loves being first – Germany is still feeling the benefit of over a decade of wage deflation, lowering the cost of creating jobs.”
Come on Philvis, They had to grapple with the industry in half of the country dying when the wall fell. Their unemployment was at 12% after the wall came down.
The Honest Mistake @ 12:46
“Did I read that German unemployment is at it’s lowest since 1991? ”
I think I read the same stat.
Apparently a top group of german economists, politicians, social scientists, financiers and industrialists developed a highly complex theorem upon which to drive the country forward.
THEY MAKE GOOD STUFF AND THEN SELL IT
Unfortunately this theorem is far too complex for their British peers (no pun intended) to understand.
BTW – Hail Hail
philvis…,
why would you worry about a cheaper labour market ??
that was maggies plan when she decimated immigration control and customs & excise resources.
cameron has got away with his biggest coup when he did the same thing to the inland revenue by decimating the corporate revenue dept.
I wonder how much corporate evasion is getting away wth now ?? £150billion a year, £200billion a year ? more ?, probably pay of the national debt in a few years, but theres more mileage in desrtoying civilisation, innit.
ItaliaBhoy – Our unemployment is going through the roof because the government have turned off the taps just when the economy needs fuel.
Unemployment is currently 8.3%, which isn’t great, but not awful compared to France – 9.9%, or even Germany – 6.8%
This is not because the government isn’t spending enough, which I presume is what you mean by “turning off the taps”.
Anyway, re: “turning off the taps”, the government is spending more than even Gordon Brown ever did.
Seriously, check the numbers for yourself.
They are still racking up the national debt by around three billion pounds a week.
Just how much money that we don’t have do you think they’d need to spend to make us all rich? (thumbsup)

You trying to get some on CQN to change their political hues ?
Your points are well made, if a little sharp, curt even.
And if you don’t mind me writing, you sound like a politician: dismissive, dogmatic and one-sided.
It’s the last descriptor that undermines your arguments.

Hope for what? (thumbsup)

Well if they continue to do this while writing off their friends taxes then they’ll find themselves in trouble soon enough.

Gordon_J backing Neil Lennon – Some thoughts on the housing benefit proposals from another radical body, the Chartered Institute of Housing;
An uncharitable man might point out the CIH’s vested interest in as much public money being splashed on housing benefit as possible.
However, I will stick to the facts.
The government is proposing capping housing benefit at £20K a year per family.
Are you seriously, honestly suggesting that this is a tremendous and outrageous hardship, especially when most working people – you know, the people who fund the benefits system – don’t have anything like £20K a year to spend on their own housing? (thumbsup)
BIG-CUP-WINNERS – And if you don’t mind me writing, you sound like a politician: dismissive, dogmatic and one-sided.
There are two sides to every debate: the right side and the wrong side. (thumbsup)
The Honest Mistake loves being first – Come on Philvis, They had to grapple with the industry in half of the country dying when the wall fell. Their unemployment was at 12% after the wall came down.
You seem to be agreeing with me. (thumbsup)
