    To be fair. I can understand why the Celtic players were distracted by the scenery. Lovely!

    Saltires-these games should be behind closed doors but TV money probably covers cost of the trip

    Another training exercise.

     

     

    Lovely Austrian setting – “Wur doin’ the huddle in Os-tree-ah…”

     

     

    Bring on the Germans!

     

     

    HH!!

    I have been asked to take part in the Petrov Charity match. Bring your cameras.

  10. BigChipsUK - There are only two SPL teams in Glasgow... Celtic and Partick Thistle on

    When the post-mortem of a largely second string Celtic’s latest shocking performance is over, and we return to discussing Wimbledon, here is an angle for debate:

     

     

    In 2007 the Wimbledon Championship for the first time awarded equal prize money to men and women. In 2006 the men’s singles champion was paid more than the ladies’ singles champion (n.b. just 4.8% more).

     

     

    The winner of the Murray v Jock O’Vitch match tomorrow will receive a cash prize of £1.6M, exactly the same as Marion Bartoli received for today’s win over Sabine Lisicki.

     

     

    That all seems fair on the surface of it, in these days of equality for everything.

     

     

    However, consider the following stats from the semi-finals of the men’s and ladies’ singles:

     

     

    Total games played: Men 99 Women 49

     

    Total points contested: Men 611 Women 307

     

    Total match duration: Men 7h35m Women 3h20m

     

     

    So the women are putting in less than half as much effort as the men for the same money. And in 2006 someone managed to convince the authorities that the men being paid 4.8% more for over twice the effort was somehow unfair on the women!

     

     

    It must have been someone from the SFA… given their track record of ensuring sporting integrity and a level playing field!

    Seriously off topic but someone (forgotten the username) posted a week or so back trying to contact a TMcF who had lived in various parts of Inverclyde, had worked in Jersey and had married a girl from Port Glasgow. Now, I met the long lost Tony tonight, told him the tale and he is very interested in renewing the contact. So, if Tony’s friend is out there, please be in touch.

    Big Chips…..it could be argued that women’s tennis is a more attractive spectacle. More subtle shots, fewer baseline to baseline testosterone trips.

    Absolutely correct. The women are not nearly competing at the men’s level.

     

     

    Some women’s matches are over in around 50 minutes and yet their prize money is on a par with the men’s.

     

     

    The answer is to make them play 5 sets in the grandslams. It’s not unreasonable as its only in the grandslams that the men go 5 sets. Mind you I’m not sure the quality would be there over the 5 sets and may be a poorer spectacle.

    I don’t know if Hamiltontim would agree,but as a retired VP of a PS I contend that there are far too many women in Primary schools.That is not to undervalue them or anything else,but the actual percentage/ratio of women to men teachers must be looked at.We can be called all sorts of names for pointing this out,just as highlighting the tennis imbalance does.If you do a Violet Elizabeth Bott and thcream and thcream it seems to pay off.If you protest as a man you are a lout or an anti-feminist. As I say, there are great women teachers–but equally there are male teachers who don’t stand a chance when applying for a job in a PS. I know if something kicks off at a match/pub/street I want the cops to be 6 foot or more who come in to tackle it.It just seems to be a nonsense.Terry Pratchett has it all done in “Guards Guards!!” where every minority must be represented.That has been taken to extremes now with the cops being pagan,jedi,witches or whatever,and you can have a Black police organisation, a Gay/Transgender/Other (don’t even ask about the other)and that’s hunky-dory.An SNP government can lose two years of reports on sectarian attacks and no-one bats an eyelid.Kids are lifted on the flimsiest of “evidence” and no-one in government gives a toss.

     

    I’m an old guy now–is it the age thing?The only thing that keeps me sane are sites like this and the TSFM.This past three years since NL took over he and the club have been shafted, and the AYE DEADY’s are being given everything possible to help them.I’m gonna get drunk.

    Gender should not come into the equation of teaching.

     

    My two sisters work long hours of which they are not paid for.

     

    Both being headmistress’s, they find it vocational to put those extra hours in.

     

     

    Now if they were brickies, I’d take your point :-))

    Lovely story, today is the 21st anniversary of my own mum’s passing and although I can’t believe how the time goes there is never a day that both her and my dad are not in my thoughts. She was the rock our family was built on and he gave me my lifelong love of Celtic.I will always remember both of them with love and gratitude for my very happy upbringing. To those of you lucky enough to still have your parents cherish every moment with them, memories are great but they can never replace the real thing.

  26. Raymac on

    sipsini–I worked long hours for which I wasn’t paid.I bet HamiltonTim does too.It comes with the territory and the vocation.Gender is not the problem–it’s the imbalance.

    Raymac, Sipsini

     

     

    Reading your comments re PS teachers . I can remember there was only one male teacher at my Primary , St Matthews, Bishopbriggs , 1966-73. But he was the heidie – Mr Quinn- which even as a small child struck me as a touch odd. Saying that though I am sure the likes of myself, Jim Leck, Gerard Hughes, Anton Sweeney etc gave our teachers a hard time I did notice that the teachers were unashamedly biased in favour of the girls. In my experience of primary school the teachers (unconsciously ?) fostered an acute sense of loathing for education. And I was a natural swot.

     

     

     

    As for the tennis – no proba with equal pay. It’s not to do with length of match it’s do with filling stands and viewing figures. Personally I’d rather watch the men these days but that was not always the case – 20 years ago I’d rather have watched Steffi G or Gabi Sabatini before Michael Stich or the young but always boring Pete Sampras.

    The imbalance might be down to…who are best qualified for the position.

     

     

    You will be glad your path didn’t go the same way as mine.

    Totally agree with you.

     

    Im all for sexual equality but it seems the LTA have went well over the score here. Meanwhile women are still openly discriminated against throughout all walks of British society.

    Sitting in the tv room offshore after 1 minutes silence for the 167 poor souls who perished on the Piper Alpha, corporation greed, but Occidental the operators of platform literary got away with murder that night, took a slap on the wrist.I was 30 then son just born in Feb, and daughter starting primary school in August, emotions were all over the place at the time and I resigned next day and vowed to never go offshore again. (lasted 18 months been back since ), to my pal Mick OShea who was about same age as me at the time, and the rest of the Bears RIP.
