Lots of speculation over the weekend that we’ll see Craig Gordon in goal for Scotland and Fraser Forster in for England tomorrow night. I’m claiming the two of them as ‘ours’. Big Fraser was a great Celtic goalkeeper and professional. He deserves one last curtain call on the pitch that made him.
I see Dick Advocaat completed his work with Serbia in less than half a season after their home defeat by Denmark on Friday and is now available for employment elsewhere. The Serbs have carried some hurt after Denmark made-off with Euro 92, when one of Europe’s great teams were denied their stage by civil war. The Danes were famously on the beach after being eliminated from the qualifying rounds by Yugoslavia before war in the Balkans opened the door for them to compete in, and win the tournament.
The last thing Serbian football fans deserved was to have Advocaat lead them. The Dutchman left us with so many great memories.
Do you have Craig Whyte holed up in a safe house, as the formerly advertised Motherwell-born billionaire remains at large after a warrant was issued for his arrest on Friday? If not, he’s perhaps gone feral and living in an outbuilding.
Check your shed, look behind the bins. It might be an idea to leave some food out for him. He may be disguised, there is no guarantee he’ll be wearing his Celtic scarf and Burton’s apparel, so stay alert.

Maybe it’s because I’m out my comfort zone. Mrs Burghbhoy away to New York this week wi a few pals and I’m donning the pinnie. Chief cook and bottle washer for Burghbhoy junior and Miss Burghbhoy.

Raffle tickets bought.
Burghbhoy – struggled a bit myself but there’s a drop down at the top ‘books’ and right at the bottom there was a link to raffle tickets. No indication what I’m trying to win mind you!
Jobo… Many thanks.
I maybe have the pinnie on but it certainly ain’t the butchers apron !!
Hail Hail
Ps very mild in West Lothian.
Think it maybe a lovely day
Tickets sorted, I think!!
Jobo
Almost too dark to ascertain any weather!
Concluded yesterday morning as I walked the dug in the pitch black that I don’t suffer from SAD in winter. But I do miss the ‘happy’ I get from a bright summed morning.

As for your list for tonight! Much though I like our southern neighbours I suspect it’ll be rather less evenly split than Friday’s!
Mind and not trip over the tash!

Headline – Rooney one of the Bhoys at parkhead.
1st line – has refused to rule out the prospect of following in RC’s footsteps and playing for Celtic at the end of his career.
What he actually said – ‘I don’t know. You’ve seen some great players come here and play…….but it’s not something I’d talk about.’
HH jamesgang
Not been on much work getting in the way. Paul67 thank you laughed out loud on the train there!
Jobo I will support your team tonight :-)
Estadio – safe travels HH
Winning Captains – will purchase raffle tickets when I get to the office.
Winning Captains
Tickets purchased – but following message came up:
Payment has been made for this order but it has not successfully recorded onto our system. Stock levels will need to be adjusted manually and payment manually checked with Stripe.
Hint: Books drop-down menu has so many items on it – had to reduce the font on laptop to 80% to find the tickets at the bottom.
H!H!
Well there you go john xollins on talk sport says celtic miss the old firm games and its good for the country Dear oh dear :(

Innit!!
Loads of polis @ queen st ensuring that the English ICF hadn’t boarded en masse on the 7.31 from dunblane. (They hadn’t)

Morning all.
Bright and mild so far down here. Promise of a good day. Will this be aided and abetted by news emanating from Govan? One can but hope.
ACGR
Are you looking to be laughing the other side of your face?
Ya cheeky bassa!
:-)
P.S. minx, I don’t include you in that cos you’re buying when you get to the office…………………pheeeew, think I got away wi that.
If Wayne Rooney ever plays for Celtic, I will claim it was my influence in his formative years, as I used to live, quite literally, across the street, Stonebridge Lane, from him, in Croxteth.
praecepta, shut up ya auld daftie and buy a ticket, it’s no difficult.
If you get a chance, give our Spanish pal a call, he’s needing some tlc.

Cheers for sharing that fella, although it is disappointing.
Johnny Collins has just confirmed my worst fears that, you have to be a ‘puppet’ to find yer way into the Celtic dug-out under PL’s watch. Sad, but true.
WGS and Neil Lennon have both bigged-up the o## f### angle and, it makes it all the more understandable, for me anyway as to why Mark McGhee wont get anywhere near the Celtic dug-out under PL’s watch and it makes it more clear as to why Roy Keane and Henrik Larsson were almost falling over themselves to tell the fans that they had been offered but – refused the Celtic job and, it also hightens my own fears that Celtic PLC board will be caught sleeping by a slippery huns resurgent.
All of the above is – imho.
Apropos to nothing…………Time lapsed video of Air Traffic over the UK in a 24hr period.

I’ve yet to hear any ex player say that we don’t miss them and that includes Murdo so it’s futile to highlight any one individual.
Ps you’ll not get anywhere near the standing section if it comes to fruition, it’ll be taken up by existing season ticket holders.

Not long in from work, and purchased a couple of raffles. Got a message saying the transaction was paid but not recorded, whatever that means,
While I’m on, I purchased Davie’s book last week, but have still to receive acknowledgement of the purchase, but saw that the money has been “disturbed from it’s rest” in my account.
If you can put my mind at rest re. these issues, I’d be most obliged.
Thanks

Good Morning JT
I can confirm that your raffle tickets and your book order are indeed successfully recorded on the system.
I will check through the other orders mentioned above who have received some kind of error message but at the moment I can’t see any which have not been recorded correctly.
The Caesar & The Assassin book is currently being signed with the various dedications and other books and DVD’s are simply in the course of dispatch and will be arriving through doors in the next couple of days.
By the way if you live in the Glasgow area and find that your book is delivered by a strange looking man with a limp then he likes a chocolate biscuit with his tea!

In the late 80s,I applied to be an Air Traffic Controller.
Although I passed the initial assessments and interviews,I withdrew my application when I saw the results of my Spatial Awareness Assessment. I passed,but realised it wasn’t for me. I was told that my training would be focused on it,but I was adamant.
I clearly had trouble visualising 3D on a 2D screen. Quite important in that job!
ACGR – managed to order the tickets without any problem even managed it from the mobile while stuck on the train! … So your safe …… For now ;-)
Hun return.
Self preservation and the protection of one`s family and friends…………..one of the most basic and understandable human traits.
And commendable.
imho.

Tooooooo stressful!
Tho it would be funny to think that ACGR had been entrusting his safety to a fellow auld maddie like yourself!
Aff oot. Laters y’all

As for getting into the standing section, I’ll get my own SB back off my bro, if thats ok?

Is it safe, is it?

Apparently the stress of the job leads a lot of ATCs to have a drink problem. So I’m off to the pub to celebrate my lucky escape.
Kev. The problem I have over mike Ashley is he has money. He has spent huge sums at Newcastle , but in EPL you have to treble what he has spent for success. Up in SPFL , if the deid club get there , he won’t have to spend much to overtake us as we spend he haw
Kev J
Are you denying that Murdo hasn’t said that we’ve missed them?
*has said*
