A comfortable win in the end masked a difficult hour for Celtic at Inverness on Saturday. It was not until Ki Sung-Yeung replaced Georgios Samaras that Celtic were able to prize open the home team. Ki has the range of passing and shot that makes him a formidable attacking threat but he has still to require the consistency of concentration that would make him a certain starter.
After Paddy McCourt appeared on 69 minutes Celtic were well on top. The Irishman brings the double gifts of time and space to the team. He has the ability to take and retain possession despite the close attention of several defenders, allowing others to take up advance positions or relieve pressure on defence.
We’ve tried more midfield formations this season that I can keep track of and despite Ki and McCourt improving Celtic considerably on Saturday I’m not going to insist either is given a starting berth. Both still have more to give, as do the rest of the midfield.

The silence is deafening.

BT,
do you think my question should get a hunskelping question of the year award ?
:oD
EBM…,
just think if they’d done it ten years ago scotland would be a different place.
canamalar
what question would that be? 8-)
Bale takes out Ugly Betty & Hutton – Adebayor (with his 2nd) makes it 2-0 Spurs.
Are the hun undermining the british soldiers by no paying their taxes ?
Ohits–what wee pub in Belfast? There are some great pubs in Belfast if you know your way around, also excellent food at very good prices, eg just under £20 for 3 courses at Paul Rankin’s place, Cayenne. I take the missus there once a month. It’s as cheap as a carry out fron the Chinese/Indian when you look at it. Paddy’s pub, the Rock, does food but only eat there if your half-over. As good as any other fast food I suppose. Nial McGinn has an eating place as well. Belfast is cheaper than Glasgow or Edinburgh, or even Stirling when it comes to food, and far better quality. You can contact me at raymac@N.I.Touristboard.com. Enclose a cheque. No Euros, please.

“Belfast is cheaper than Glasgow or Edinburgh, or even Stirling when it comes to food, and far better quality.”
Sorry, can’t let that pass! Cayenne is a decent restaurant, but Belfast has nowhere near the quality of restaurants as Glasgow, and certainly not Edinburgh.

Yes
BT,
are you in spain :oD
Special Branch in about the bhoys, compiling info on the GB. Far more dangerous than Islamic militants…
Easier to victimise, more like.
Media orchestrating campaigns to demonize the Celtic support by proxy.
Huns in a tizzy, squealing like spoiled frantic little biatches, pointing fingers at all and sundry, fainting like the world’s become one huge Blackadder witch trial to them.
Bloated, rank scribblers like Jabba Traynor – a soulless bigot – churning out dull predictable prose no more subtle than a flatulent hippo but blunt enough to play to his gallery: the average, mindless drone Hun stereotype ; loyalisty, ‘n digni’y, ‘n ‘at…
Like Leckie, perpetrating the hatred they ramble on about, self-fulfilling prophets who love nothing more than some young Hoops fans beaten to a pulp on the back of their lies.
Then out the blue, literate journos like big ivory-tinkling Britney actually TELLING THE TRUTH, shock horror.
And the irony is he’s the man with the background Jabba would crave – son of a hardcore protestant; a minister no less, man of the cloth, the general assembly an annual habit.
Which is maybe why ‘ra peepil hate him all the more. He’s meant to be one of THEM.
A chink of sane light in the sectarian darkness which has engulfed this land as the gyre of wickedness at its grumbling heart succumbs to decades of criminality.
Maybe Britney will turn out to be our Martin Luther King Billy.

I believe they are.
what I find more annoying is the parading of the soldiers at ipox..
fail to pay taxes but don’t worry we will give a few frebbies to the service men

Good luck with your continuing crusade ;-)

Cayenne, Schu, Bastille, James Streeet South, Deane’s—all excellent. Also good Indian restaurants. A very old fashioned one on Lisburn Road (which has 3) the Sonali, has been there for years. Very good and a few Glaswegian Indian lads work there. You have just reminded me that I haven’t had an Indian for a while. Now I’m getting hungry.
Oh dear,
I hear word that the hun has major accounting issues to come up very soon. Close them water-tight doors!
Oops, too late.
Over to you CW.
Keep this baby quiet, if you can.
It’s all good.
Amadeus, tomorrow’s news today!

Hi Bhoys,
It gives me great pleasure to advise all fellow tims unlucky enough to fly from Vigo in December 2002 to Cardiff (just happened to be the pilot’s home town,funny that eh) with Astraeus Airlnes that they have went into Administation due to some technical problems (again) with their airlines, please assume the brace position and goodbye to the airline that brought us fake riots at 34000 feet.

Maybe you missed this bit
I condemn Rangers for not paying their taxes.
I condemn Rangers for the their support of the sectarian nature of a large number of the fans.
I condemn Rangers for abusing Rememberance Day, Minutes silences etc to score mini points at the expense of the memories of young men and women’s lives.
These are real reasons to condemn Rangers.
What I disagree with you about is this,
Rangers not paying taxes does not make them solely responsible for the deaths of British soldiers.
For you or anyone else to infer that, is risable and only serves to let them off the hook as your half truths and untruths will be exposed and ridiculed, then only be used against the Celtic community.
Stick to the truth.
Highlight the Huns hypocrisy of holding regular militaristic displays at the Bigotdome while witholding their taxes, and a possible contribution to the British defence budget by all means.
Just do not “gild the lily” by laying all the blame, for poorly equipped British forces, at the Hun door.
Stick to the truth.

Vmhan…,
more worried about the dug fights and the badger baiting, everything else is through the books :o)

Dont know if you picked up my post from earlier but if your up for the game on Saturday would like to meet to make a donation to the fund for the legal expenses of the boys from the GB who are being harrased and charged by plod.

I think the secret if you arrive for a trial at Celtic, is to tell them you are a full back
I see the SPL has agreed a new deal with Sky / ESPN.
Wonder how much they knocked off the asking price in order to keep Burley as part of the ESPN team!?
eurochamps67,
Every reasonable taxpaying hun would condemn the hun for all the things you condemn them for, there is nothing there that is not true.
What huns refuse to accept is their part in the undermining british soldiers.
scoll on hun

we can phone the lads via Skype search Homebhoys
chat room is there too, in Spreaker
good banter, Paul on tonight with Joe n Harper
few calls from overseas, good to hear
The new SPL TV deal has removed, at a stroke, one of the central planks in the arguments in favour of giving Der Hun a break in terms of the application of SPL rules which would see them relegated to Division 3. One of the key arguments is, and has been, that the league would lose sponsorship, TV money etc, if Rangers were not in the competition. Well, unless a specific provision exists in the contract which would result in it being void if Rangers, or Celtic, were no longer in the league that argument is over.
And if such provisions DO exist, isn’t this the most bent league in Europe? Would a Freedom of Information request yield that information?
