Solid so far, without any real threat to our goal. A great take by Stokes, and Commons was really unlucky not to score a screamer.
It’s a shame Izzie picked up an injury, and plain to see his disappointment at having to come off. At first I thought it a bit odd that he seemed so upset and frustrated, what with there being so much time to recover before the World Cup. But then I realised (probably) why he was so upset…
We now only have two players (Forster and van Dijk) who have played every minute of our potentially (soon to be) world record league clean sheets run. Up until the injury Izzie too had played every single minute of that run, and he would have been desperate to write his name into the record books.
If we manage to keep a clean sheet for the next 45 minutes we can break the world record before half time at Tynecastle next weekend.
Brit expats in Spain lose all BBC channels with ITV and C4 to follow soon

AT half past four this morning, many British expats in southern Spain finally lost all BBC channels.
All free channels from ITV and Channel 4 are likely to also be switched to the new UK-focused satellite very soon, probably on the morning of Tuesday, 11 February.
The switch to the UK spot beam has been a hot topic of discussion in Southern Spain, with expats nervously awaiting this day for years.
The new Astra 2E satellite will improve reception in the UK but, as shown in the map, doesn’t extend to the Costa del Sol.
Olive Press readers have been getting in touch to express their disappointment at having lost all BBC TV and radio channels.
“There are people running around like headless chickens wondering how they can get it back,” said Het Farrington, inVilanova Cataluna.
Areas which have seen complete loss of BBC channels are Costa Del Sol, Andalucia, Southern Portugal, much of Catalunya, the Canary Islands and also Italy.
Gibraltar should also have been affected but some residents claim to still be receiving BBC 1 HD and BBC 2 HD, with all other channels reportedly coming back today. Those in Malaga are also reportedly still receiving BBC channels.
Once migration is completed, satellite operator SES Astra is likely to make adjustments which could affect the quality of reception once more.
Sky channels are less likely to be affected as it is probable that they will be broadcast via the pan European beam that can be received in Southern Spain.
However, BBC, ITV and C4 will all be lost from Freesat and Sky boxes and subscribing to Sky will not bring them back.
But there are alternatives to continue getting UK TV. Some free services already exist, such as Filmon, which are viewed on a computer screen or connected to the television, although picture quality can be poor.
Another alternative is to subscribe to a professional streaming service and connect an IPTV set top box to the main television.

BBC switches satellite services to Astra 2E
UPDATE: Most BBC TV and Radio services have switched satellite, and are now broadcasting from the new Astra 2E satellite. The changeover occurred earlier this morning.
Freesat and Sky viewers in the UK have been assured by the BBC that “no viewer actions should be required”.
Astra 2E was officially brought into service on the 1st February 2014 by its operator SES. The new satellite is taking over carrying BBC channels from Astra 1N, which is scheduled to move position to serve Central Europe.
Short breaks in transmission were observed from around 0330 GMT this morning as SES Astra switched transponders of channels over to the new satellite.
The BBC has moved to reassure UK viewers stating: “care has been taken to ensure the minimum of impact to UK viewers both during and after the change, such that no viewer actions should be required.”
“Generally the new transponder will improve reception in the South East of England, the north eastern coast of East Anglia, the North East of Scotland and the Shetland Isles.”
“Northern France and Belgium may see an improvement, outside of this area there may be a slight reduction in coverage with the need for a larger receive antenna.”
BBC TV and radio for the UK is broadcast from satellites located the 28 degrees East orbital position. BBC channels were moved to Astra 1N in 2012 when the Astra 2D satellite was put into retirement. Astra 2D was the first satellite to have a UK spot beam, which enabled the free-to-air public service broadcasters including the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 to unencrypt their services without incurring broadcast rights issues from broadcasting across the whole of Europe.
Most UK households will be able benefit from a slightly stronger satellite signal, meaning better reception is possible in stormy weather, when thick clouds obscure the line of sight to the satellite.
European reception Viewers in southern, parts of central and eastern Europe are expected to lose reception as a result of the new Astra 2E “UK spot beam” being more tightly focussed on the UK than that of its predecessor, Astra 1N. They lost access to some UK services that moved to Astra 2F during late 2012 and early 2013, which has a similar UK spot beam.
Early indications show that European viewers who lost Channel 5 (standard definition) when Astra 2F went live have now lost all BBC TV and radio services, confirming that Astra 2E’s spotbeam is very similar to that of Astra 2F, with one or two minor local variations indicated from early reception reports.
Unaffected channels BBC One Scotland HD, BBC One Wales HD, BBC Four HD, CBeebies HD and BBC News HD are unaffected by the changes – these channels launched on Astra 2F last year, and will remain on that satellite.
ITV and Channel 4 services will shortly migrate to Astra 2E, as well

Quite a controlled first half and second goal will kill the game.
Nir strolling through the game comfortably right now.
Does he have a second gear?
Broonie struggling a wee bit I think.
Good to switch Darnel and Adam me thinks it should happen.
SJ doing a lot of running and has to watch when men are holding him as he lashed out in the first half when composure is required, he will learn.
Forwards mobile enough and 1 more will open that department right up.
Efe and VVD as usual mini wall in front of the wall which is FF who is a spectator right now.
Oh and Green Brigade, well done and keep up the noise please, great to hear.
Celtic back on park.
Let’s get an early goal then two more to give me 10 points
Celtic kick off 2nd half
I’m posting invisible posts again….aren’t I?

Hmmmmm
Kojo
VVD shoots well wide
Not writing Griffiths off….yet….but I’m not seeing much
3 things that would help the crowds at celtic park..
1. Green Brigade permanent fixture in a ‘standing area’
2. Summer football
3. Alcohol permitted on matchdays (beer/Magners only)
All of which would increase the matchday experience
To often when Virgil and Efe are bringing the ball out from the back they have to check their run due to zero move my ahead.
Our lack of movement off the ball is puzzling?
