    BGFC – tell him no to be using that as his new moniker :-)

    TEUCHTER ÁR LÁ – actually, he’s been trying to register for a couple of weeks, but he keeps getting the following message:

     

     

    “…You have entered an incorrect reCAPTCHA value…” Problem is, he isn’t being asked to enter a reCAPTCHA value in the first place – anyone any ideas? I suspect his registration attempt isn’t even getting to Paul67.

     

     

    Commentators here aren’t noticing that Hamilton are having all of the chances in this game.

     

     

    50 Shades – he’s a tube.

  2. Lustig follow on. I see someone thought it was an attempted passback. I thought it was an attempted tackle which he won but couldn’t take his man down at the same time and hence the forward had a clear run on goal.

     

     

    Continuing on the theme of legs gone, Scott Brown. Well yes, he is now injured but he is in the team as much for his captaincy as his footballing contributions, in my opinion of course. And well deserved that is too.

     

     

    However, I note that Callum McGregor has subbed for Broony twice recently and surprisingly his tackling ability has been really good, as has his ability to win headers / compete in the air. And as he showed yesterday has the legs to go beyond the forward line even late in the game. Which of course Scott used to do too but very infrequently now.

     

     

    While Mulumbu is a good short term replacement and Kouassi could be a long term replacement, I contend that McGregor can fill that role and excel.

  3. 50 shades of green on

    You know how when we are on the telly they turn down the volume when WE start to sing songs that are deemed inappropriate.

     

     

    Cant they pixel out the faces of the hun fans or else show their games after the watershed???

    Good afternoon all from the Victoria bar. The huns really are dreadful. Dallas could not ref a primary school game.

    One Kent ably assisted by plenty of cants :-)

     

     

    Surely the law of averages (if there is such a law) they must win away from home one of these days

  6. I read the article re Lafferty. Something not quite right. And wouldn’t be the first time the thugs and thieves publishers have jumped the gun.

     

     

    The part which confuses me is that they the snapchat pics only appear for 6 seconds (is that correct). Yet the girl and her friend have a video of them appearing? Either she was quick on the draw with the video or it was a setup. Now if they said they had captured a screenshot then that would make senses.

  10. lustig blame for goal.

     

     

    were we playing three or four at the back, rodgers said he changed formation a few times.

    Not watching the Accies game but just heard on the radio that MacGregor “wiped” the accies player out but it wasn’t a foul as he got his shot away

     

     

    Total joke

     

     

    With all the help in the world Huney Gee might end the day 6th

     

     

    In my opinion… their suffering continues :-)

  13. I acknowledge now that the old Pound Loney district of Belfast was named The Lower Falls by the British Army.

     

     

    No way did they name it the Lower Whack though, that’s got to Beal Feirste terminology.

     

     

    Sadly Americanism have destroyed Belfast speak to a certain extent, but you still hear it spoken for instance the far whack.

     

     

    I would be grateful if any posters could clear this one up.

     

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Noticed you posted the other day about your favourite Hibs game. Below is the match report I posted on CQN a few years ago and yes, you’re spot on about it being one of the most exciting games this teuchter has ever attended………..and a style of journalism, sadly no longer with us.

    CELTS BLOW THEIR TOPS

     

    The Moment Easter road caught fire.

     

    ————————————————

     

     

    Hibernian 2,Celtic 5.

     

    Scorers: Hibs – ( McBride 23 min),Davis (pen74);

     

    Celtic – Gemmell (pen 8), McNeill (79) Hughes (80, 84), Lennox (82).

     

    The shape of things to come as far as Celtic are concerned is the Scottish league Championship flag with the date 1968-69 scrawled all over it.

     

    That anyway, was the impression of the 35,000 crowd as they scaled out of Easter Road at the end of this crazy ,amazing, fantastic, sensational game.

     

    The Celtic football machine suddenly turned into a mangle in the last ten minutes. Hibs, poor Hibs, who had played so well, who had fought

     

    so valiantly, and who really looked like winning with those vital last ten minutes to go, were put through it with a vengeance.

     

    Sixteen minutes from time they had gone into a lead which nobody could have grudged them. Gemmell upended McBride inside the box, and Davis scored from the penalty spot.

     

    On the touchline, Jock Stein was doing his homework. He sent John Hughes into the middle and Lennox out to the left wing.

     

    Whether it was that move that set the game alight, I don’t know. But the facts are that, from a Lennox corner, McNeill headed the equaliser 11 minutes from time – AND INSIDE FIVE

     

    MORE MINUTES CELTIC HAD SLAPPED ON THREE MORE GOALS.

     

    The final scoreline showed Celtic for what they are. And what they are capable of doing when the chips are really down. But one it did not do was give a true picture of this

     

    magnificent game.

     

    From the kick off it was football entertainment at its best.

     

    As it takes two teams to give us a game like this, Hibs must get sympathy for the final score making a mockery of their really grand all round display.

     

    They just didn’t reckon on that grand finale when the Celtic team burst its seams.

     

    Celtic got off to a bright start when Cousin handled a bouncing ball from a throw in by Johnstone. Gemmell scored from the penalty kick, but those who thought the show was over had another thing coming.

     

    If John Fallon plays till he’s 80, he’ll never bring off a better save than his flying dive to knuckle Stevenson’s shot round the post.

     

    It was Joe McBride who got the equaliser at a time when Hibs were actually on top. Over came a peach of a cross from Alex Scott and McBride, running in, hit the ball home at the far post.

     

    It was a first class effort by Joe who, last time he appeared in a Hibs-Celtic game, scored four goals – for Celtic.

     

    A draw it was now, and a draw it looked as if it was to finish when there was less than 20 minutes to go.

     

    One reason was the magnificent goalkeeping with which we had been regaled at both ends – and you don’t get this kind of goalkeeping without forwards, half backs, uncle Tom Cobly and all hurling in shots.

     

    Then came that late penalty goal for Hibs that sent Easter Road hopes sky high. Rightly so, too.

     

    Then came Celtic’s positional switch. Then came McNeill’s equaliser. Then off went Wallace and on came Chalmers. And then the balloon went up. Within a minute Hughes had scored.

     

    Two minutes later, Lennox went down on his knees, almost on the goal line, to head home a low Johnstone cross. And less than a couple of minutes after that, Hughes dribbled

     

    through to score and make it a nap hand for Celtic.

     

    There wasn’t a bad player on that field, and with 10 minutes to go, both sides, I felt would have been happy to settle for a draw. And it would have been quite a fair result.

     

    Then Celtic went on that goal spree which left even their most fervent supporters with a little sympathy spot in their hearts for those gallant Hibs.

     

    Outstanding players in two outstanding teams were Wilson,Davis, Stanton, Cormack, Stevenson (Hibs); Fallon, Gemmell, Murdoch, McNeill, Johnstone and Hughes for Celtic.

     

    I left Easter Road knowing full well that, although we are still in the first half of the fixture list, I had just witnessed the greatest game of the season.

     

    Crowd – 34,888

     

    Hibs – Wilson, Shevlane, Davis; Cousin, Stanton, O’Rourke; Scott, Quinn, McBride, Cormack, Stevenson.

     

    Celtic – Fallon, Craig, Gemmell; Murdoch, McNeill, Brogan; Johnstone, Lennox, Wallace (Chalmers), Callaghan, Hughes.

     

    Referee – R. C. Greenlees, Lochgelly.
