It’s favourites win the Scottish Cup semi-finals, the League and Cup climaxes will be a match-off between two clubs who have competed for a decade for Scotland’s top prizes.
I wish I could tell you I’m confident. Our chances depend on a change of fortune and form. The biggest positive is that despite such an extended period of poor performances, we’re still in the hunt and have every chance of making this a memorable season.

BR will be a candidate for Canonization should he win a double. And rightly so.
OOPS…
I ALSO backed the FORECAST in the first Race at Cheltenham which paid just over £16.00 for a £1.00 stake.

“BR will be a candidate for Canonization should he win a double. And rightly so.”
You’ve went too far with that now ;)
For me, he still has a lot to answer for this season. Constant digs at the quality of players made to cover his own back and damn the recruitment will not have helped team morale / results.
I would be delighted right now with a double but would also not be heartbroken if he slung his hook after it. It wouldn’t register with me as Jansen and Ange’s departures did.

To be honest I don’t watch the horses and if I can’t beat the bookies at football what chance do I have?

UNLUCKY mate, but the 2/1 FAVOURITE ” Gaelic Warrior” in the 2.10 Race, was oozing class and won easily.

I too conversed with Bryan and enjoyed our wee chats, but for some reason, and it may have been related to his nom de plume, I always thought he came from Whiteinch, no matter what RIP Bryan.
Thursday 12th
Fr Toner was in tonight, and brought me in some religious magazines.
My weight is 58.75 kgs. They did not take a blood sample because they want to incorporate other tests with it. So the doctor says they’ll do it next week.
Physically I have felt very tired today, between dinner time and later afternoon. I know I’m getting physically weaker. It is only to be expected. But I’m okay. I’m still getting the papers all right, but there’s nothing heartening in them. But again I expect that also and therefore I must depend entirely upon my own heart and resolve, which I will do.
I received three notes from the comrades in Armagh, God bless them again.
I heard of today’s announcement that Frank Hughes will be joining me on hunger-strike on Sunday. I have the greatest respect, admiration and confidence in Frank and I know that I am not alone. How could I ever be with comrades like those around me, in Armagh and outside.
I’ve been thinking of the comrades in Portlaoise, the visiting facilities there are inhuman. No doubt that hell-hole will also eventually explode in due time. I hope not, but Haughey’s compassion for the prisoners down there is no different from that of the Brits towards prisoners in the North and in English gaols.
I have come to understand, and with each passing day I understand increasingly more and in the most sad way, that awful fate and torture endured to the very bitter end by Frank Stagg and Michael Gaughan. Perhaps, — indeed yes! — I am more fortunate because those poor comrades were without comrades or a friendly face. They had not even the final consolation of dying in their own land. Irishmen alone and at the unmerciful ugly hands of a vindictive heartless enemy. Dear God, but I am so lucky in comparison.
I have poems in my mind, mediocre no doubt, poems of hunger strike and MacSwiney, and everything that this hunger-strike has stirred up in my heart and in my mind, but the weariness is slowly creeping in, and my heart is willing but my body wants to be lazy, so I have decided to mass all my energy and thoughts into consolidating my resistance.
That is most important. Nothing else seems to matter except that lingering constant reminding thought, ‘Never give up’. No matter how bad, how black, how painful, how heart-breaking, ‘Never give up’, ‘Never despair’, ‘Never lose hope’. Let them bastards laugh at you all they want, let them grin and jibe, allow them to persist in their humiliation, brutality, deprivations, vindictiveness, petty harassments, let them laugh now, because all of that is no longer important or worth a response.
I am making my last response to the whole vicious inhuman atrocity they call H-Block. But, unlike their laughs and jibes, our laughter will be the joy of victory and the joy of the people, our revenge will be the liberation of all and the final defeat of the oppressors of our aged nation.

Ah ok….lets give that a spin..
“(If the) favourites win the Scottish Cup semi-finals, the League and Cup climaxes will be a match-off between two clubs who have competed for a decade for Scotland’s top prizes.”
I’ll give you the conjunction at the beginning of the sentence, but I asked for meaning, and I still don’t see it. Unless of course there is another ‘typo’ in there which, if inserted, might then make some sense out of it.
Maybe you could help me out there.
” CHIANTI CLASSICO” WINS Cheltenhams third race at 6/1.
Ive got the Horse on SEVEN Lucky 15 and Lucky 31 Betting slips at Early Odds of 8/1 and 15/2.
Finally the BRITS win a Race….LOL.
Ya DANCER !

Now don’t be doing anything hasty BRRB.
You should have a drink and mull it over 👍
The IRISH TRI COLOUR is flying high again at Cheltenham after the Irish Horse ” STATE MAN” wins the 3.30 Race albeit at long odds on.
One Punter placed £50,000 on it to win just over £18,000 PROFIT.

No other typo I can see, Celtic Mac.
I think the gist of the paragraph is trying to convey the sense that Scottish football is a two horse race.
Being picky you could argue Sevco won promotion to the SPL only in 2016, so we have only been competing with them for 8 years in the league, not a “decade”.
I honestly don’t know how many times Celtic have either knocked out or beaten Sevco in the final of cup competitions over the last decade. You may have an angle for criticism there if it’s not that many.
Anyway, glad to see you’re trying to maintain standards of written English and factual accuracy.
Keep up the good work👍
I really like the new Irish themed Adidas gear launched today and will probably buy some of it.
However, it has generated some highly entertaining and deserved online mocking of the Board.
RIP Bryan

Understandably , the board hoping we will put our hands in our pockets yet again while they put cash before quality on the park , has met with a lot of hostile reaction .
I think it’s more to do with that than with the design of the new strips .
Personally , I agree with you …I love them .
YA BEAUTY…I hope ?
Ive got the Cheltenham Place Pot come up…
FIVE WINNERS, and my Horse finished 3rd in the 4.50 Race.
There are ONLY THREE Favourites placed within the six races…
I am now looking forward to a healthy Pay Out in the next 30 minutes or so ?

Cheers mate.
The Cheltenham Place Pot paid out £45.10 for a £1 stake.
Not too bad considering there were Three Favourites Placed…..and Two of them were odds on.
A Win is a Win !

yet more bitter stuff from Phil McG on Twitter.
not only does he not like scottish folk, he doesnt even seem to like his fellow countrymen.
I think he really does want to enact the lyrics to the Goats Dont Shave song and actually build a wall around old Donegal.

Now that, is a proper Celtic Top!
Was it still Umbro?
and yes im aware he was born in Glasgow…

I hope no one took that post seriously. 😳
Let’s all do the huddle 5.59
Aye indeed. A bullshitter of the very best. Sources inside the hun boardroom. 🤣🤣
I just saw the reporting Scotland report about Hibs complaint of sectarian singing. They then discuss objects being thrown, pyro and damaged seats specifically at fir park. Not a single mention of the huns or sectarian singing, absolutely disgraceful.
Reporting Scotland managed to report the Hibs ticket allocation story without mentioning the events at Easter Road on Sunday.
