Yesterday’s decision by the SFA’s Judicial Panel, which ruled that Josh Meekings could not be subject to retrospective action as the referee saw the contentious incident on Sunday contradicted the initial official version of events, and totally vindicated Celtic asking for clarification of the incident.
I’ve not had a chance to read through all the apologies from those who used their platforms to criticise the club, but I’ll set aside an hour to do so later. Keep an eye on the very personal attacks on Peter Lawwell. There are people at Hampden who don’t like his influence.
It’s never good to get ahead of yourself, and it would be foolish to assume too much ahead of our visit to Tannadice tomorrow, but I hope the Highlanders take a point against Aberdeen today. Winning the title would be a great way to start a holiday weekend.
Loving the narrative coming out of Ibox at the moment. It appears they haven’t even applied for membership of the ISDX yet as they haven’t found an advisor yet. I assume that’s the fault of the Easdales. Or the BBC. Or Celtic. Or maybe it’s the Pope of Rome!
What a shower. You know how this story ends….

It’s taking it’s time on this occasion. That’s 8 days already. Twice as long as usual.
Still it’s a timmish fenian back and not a contorted Hunnish humph so I still consider myself blessed!

This election has left me hopelessly conflicted on the basis that I cannot vote for any of them.

Jamesgang My grandfather lived in Braco and he got the Morning Star and Daliy Express every day. I asked him why the Express and he replied know what your enemy is saying. HH big guy.

It’s all down to the pesky height.
Too small to be an tearmann
Too long to be Weefra
I inhabit a strange twilight zone of timmish gorgeousness with sipsini, Dekaney’s and yourself for company!
Night

My lovely highland auntie reads that rag.
At Easter I finally addressed it head on with humour. Cmon auntie vi let’s look at what the pesky Germans ares trying to do to british bananas today!
HH jamesgang
Jamesgang,
Ahhh, ok I’ll take the comparison…..unless it’s sarcasm…..not that uve ever been accused of that ..;-))
H.H.
Also Mullet is a cannychange manger
McIness, Jackie, Mcintyre will try and copy the modern Ronny way but ingrained h-ns will never move from 442,
Lastly Jack Irvine’s request (ha) to his lackeys to try n bring our players value down is both obvious and failing.
Big Virgil is the best player in Scotland by a good bit. Celtic will eventually sell for £15m.
Scouts in England call guys like VVD real players which means they can immediately play in the EPL. They could have 25 bad games in a row and they would still get the big move. Guidi ( dear oh dear big man- you used to be good) valued VVD at £6m last week, He done the same with Vic and FF ( love FF- he will be EPL shut out king this year despite being injured).
Still feel if we had to give Guidetti a big for us package then we would have a complete CF. Won’t happen tho.
HH
Am gonna break all my rules…..will b in the bv on Friday…..lookin to introduce masell sort of
H.H.
A wee song for the politicos who favour re-drawing a line and calling it a revolution
A trip to fantasy land
Big game for the Celts today
thelurkintim
You’re a handsome bassa. Must be. You’re a jungle. So you must be.
Deal with it! Embrace it.
I don’t do sarcasm.
Just wee smiles!
HH jamesgang
We dust ourselves off and head to Dundee where we are looking for a result more than a performance. Time to show we are champions.
Jamesgang,
I wiz wrong, sarcasm is ure forte….look up to u…..in the bv…..maybe ;-))
H.H.
Sftb respect your footie posts but your politics is outdated. Labour is finito in Scotland.HH

We have an important game today.
We can discuss The End of History some other time and sing “Tomorrow belongs to me”.
Celtic is the only constant.
thelurkintim
Hate sarcasm. Well strongly dislike it.
I will hit a fellow Tim with some jokey full on niceness. Tis the way to be!
Next Friday. It the wee mhan still wants to go I’ll need to miss the BV cos he’s tall but he’s only 10 so will be at CQN corner. If he doesn’t want to go I’ll buy you a pint in the BV.
I’ll be the tall one doubled over.
You’ll be one of many Handsome tims!
HH jamesgang
Sftb wholeheartedly agree amigo.HH
This Friday u maniac…unless I’ve got my dates mixed up…..bring the wee man….we can talk about how your a lighthouse….
H.H.
Tom McLaughlin – Thoughts and prayers with you and your family at this sad time.
MCB and the rest of the CQN squad – Inspirational, as always.
The music has been outstanding also.
Slainte.
HH.
Good night.
Love n peace to my fellow Tims.

Many thanks for that.

HH LEGENDS!! :)
16 Roads We shall overcome. HH amigo.
After our abject display last Sunday at Hampden, where ICT ran us ‘off our feet’ from first minute to last minute and bullied us all over the field, today’s game at Tannadice is without doubt our most important match of the season, to date.
Going into the final four matches eight points ahead is a much more comfortable position than five points ahead with Aberdeen still to be faced at Pittodrie.
A defeat at the hands of Dundee Utd will bring back bitter memories of 2004/5 and the capitulation at Motherwell.
The title is not won yet and Aberdeen are doggedly digging-out results – our weak displays in the two games against ICT are very worrying indeed.
The away fixtures against Dundee Utd, Aberdeen and St Johnstone could all be lost if we don’t show more steel and desire – we should beat Dundee at CP, however ICT might be a different matter.
Worse case scenario would be FOUR points from five games – that will NOT win the title!
I hope that I am being overly pessimistic, however there must be concerns – that’s why today’s game at Tannadice is without doubt our most important game of the season, to date.
Well G lhad – Our reality is their nightmare.
MacLean, Dallas and the rest of the monkey mafia….

I missed tom McLaughlin’s posts.

Revisionism
“ICT ran us off our feet, from the first minute”, so much we should have been 2:0 up at half time and enjoying a one player advantage.
I’d give them dominance from the Gordon sending off through to the end of extra time, but we were the dominant team in the first half and, despite my disappointment at the outcome, I will not exaggerate ICT’s prowess.
Received a phone call to let me know an old pal of mine has just died.John Rielly played in the 60s for Duntocher Hibs.Some of his team-mates were well known Celtic players Dick Beattie,Pat Crerand and John Colraine.John had a reputation for being one of the hardest men in Scottish football.He lived here in Oz for 40+ years.He was a funny-funny man and just loved The Celtic.Rest In Peace John.
Paranoid?
Aye, possibly.

I read this interview earlier on in the week, and read it again just there now.
It’s not the full interview that was online earlier on in the week.
One, at least, maybe two paragraphs have been omitted since then – Doctored, for definite.
Here, see the original – he mentioned Steven MacLean as being his mentor/trainer. Disappeared now it has.
Should have posted the original interview at the time, but I was too annoyed to even bother.
Be interesting if anyone could find the original interview, then post the words they have removed.
They are at it, they are up to their balls in it.
HH.
Sorry for going on about that shameful episode, see Celtic – Celtic should counter-charge that MacLean thing for it’s vitriolic and poisonous attack against our footballers.
If one of our players , or here, any player in world football – launched such a hateful and aggressive tirade towards any referee – they’d be hung out to dry, and rightly so.
That MacLean thing did the exact same to Lenny at Tynecastle a few seasons previously – vicious and spite /hate fueled it was.
Who da funk does that thing think it is?
The rage is off the scale.
I’m surprised that Lenny didn’t rip it’s head aff.
Don’t let that thing within a million miles of another Celtic game, Celtic.
Otherwise the club stands complicit with the scam.
HH.
Anyway apologies for the ranting there.
Just noticed paddymacoz post there.
John Reilly – Sleep well brave Celt.
One for everybody:

Also big shout out to Kojo the brave, no rebel ever, however, as he himself would say – an absolute legendary Tim – and a great and inspiration legend, not to mention extremely intelligent.
Haste ye back.
Slan.
HH.

Prayers will be said at 10am mass here in Coatbridge for the Reilly family
16 roads – this is the place for Celtic fans to rant so rant away
For any betting punters reading big VVD is 22/1 with Hills for 2 or more goals but a massive 55/1 with Paddy Power for the same bet, 3pts wlll do but 55/1 is no a bad shout for our free kick specialist !
Gearóid – Congratulations mo chara, belated and all that there and all fs.
God bless ye and yer family – yous are an absolute credit to the Celtic.
And best of luck with the Gaelic, it’s a difficult language to get, pure all the same.
I’m lost with it at times, to the honest – how it reads is entirely different to how it’s spoken.
Oiche mhaith – goodnight – sounds literally like: e – a – why. Madness lol.
Anyway, I’ll leave yous all in peace now.
KTF. :)
Biggest game of the season so far today. We need three points to put the sheep in their place. Cmon the hoops.
16 roads – everyday is a school day, I now know Gerard in Gaelic is Gearóid
On a side note I am pretty proud of my name as my mother had several miscarriages and was pregnant with me (youngest of 5) in 1970 at the age of 44 so she probably thought the worst, I was named after St Gerard Magella, she should have opted for St Jude for hopeless cases !
Good morning to Celts everywhere, can’t speak for East Kilbride or anywhere else but the weather today here in Dundee is cold and gin-clear, not a cloud in the sky (ok one cloud), a perfect day to put three past Dundee Utd. Not long to wait!
