I’m still meeting people who haven’t noticed. Hibernian are on an outstanding run of form, having won their last three games and undefeated in six. The last reversal they had was at Celtic Park the first weekend in April. On Sunday we’re playing the team with the best recent form in Scotland; the warning signs are painted in large green font.
They are dangerous up front, Leigh Griffiths has scored four goals more than any Celtic player, including several stunners.
The weight of the world rested on Hibs’ shoulders at last season’s Scottish Cup final, when the stage was set for a century of pain to be wiped away by defeating their greatest rivals. It was too much. Now they take the field unburdened and vastly more dangerous than St Mirren, Hearts or Kilmarnock were when they overcame Celtic at Hampden recently.
Odds on Hibs are very generous.
I caught some chat online last night. “Blackmail”, “extortion”, “imprisonment”, “getting rid of the problem”, “a catastrophe of an intensity that you…. clearly do not appear to understand”, “fraudulent”, “once the genie is out it will have a life of its own”.
What an unimaginable mess.
I think “Been an admirer of your recent work” is bound to become a euphemism in years to come for when something that should never have been said or written slips out. This is a small glimpse into how the whole thing happened.
Fantastic Q&A with Willie Wallace this morning, thanks to Willie and Winning Captains. Willie’s recollections of our great times are irresistible. Reading the book as it came together was a joy. You’ll love it.
Remember you can start Cup Final weekend by meeting Willie at a book signing at Waterstons’ on Sauchiehall St, tomorrow – 25th May, 46 years on from the day – from 2pm until 4pm. If you can’t make it you can order a signed copy below.

corkcelt. It is a well trodden road the bigger fish dragging everything out until such time as the smaller fish can no longer afford to fund there claim. It happens day in day out. H.H.
Pedro-just noticed that at the off,will stick it on -3 Celtic,6/1
KevJungle,
Sunday is massive for him, the stage is set, I’ll get to see the 2nd half and hopefully JF/Celtic have won the Cup by then. ;))
Loving all the hype about Leigh Griffiths. He is the Great White Hope not only for the Hibs fans but for the Meeja and everyone else who wants to see Celtic get a bloody nose on Sunday. All this injury talk about Leigh is nonsense. He will play. I want Hibs to be at full strength. It’s a shame that we will be without Victor or we would be at full strength too.
What I like about the Leigh Griffiths hype is it takes the pressure off of our strikers and it heaps it right onto Leigh’s shoulders and the nearer it gets to kick off the greater that pressure will weigh on Leigh’s shoulders. That will allow Gary to do the job he is paid for and will allow him the opportunity to show Scotland who exactly is número uno striker in this country.
I repeat my prediction of last night. Hooper will score 4 on Sunday.

For what its worth – the ‘upright’ Malcolm Murray was on same flight as me to Gatwick on Tuesday.
On the mobile from boarding area to plane (in front of me) – all the talk was about getting; Jabba, Jack Irvine and Paul Murray on the case.
Whatever the case was! Didn’t have Craigy recording gear on me. :-(

It was in response to your post about gaining early entry to Europe via Scottish Cup.
If before 2016 SFA would need to make case for an exception to Article 12 of Uefa FFP and Uefa would have to agree that restructuring was for solvency as opposed to insolvency reasons.
I can see SFA trying it on but not uefa agreeing a well founded case exists.
Answers to round 1

I could be wrong but I think what you’re saying is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkA6PMaxpWU
MON THE HOOPS
The BBC is trailing the ‘no links’ outcome to the sevco enquiry. Who in authority leaked this story? Why now? Why are reports of ‘signings’ being announced now as sevco are embargoed ’til September?
Some points:
Chuckles said that he was in talks with CW, he tried to claim that he was duping CW, but he did confirm what he had previously categorically denied.
The BBC are unclear whether or not chuckles and others had any contact with the enquiry team.
Players are signing pre-contracts, who carries the can if they are injured in training?
My theory?
Sevco are losing more money than they are bringing in.
Sevco are gambling on punters being stupid enough to believe the ‘no links’ leak.
Sevco are hoping that supporters will think that pre-contracts are a statement of stability and liquidity
Sevco are praying that the mugs who gave up their cash in the share sale will part with more cash for STs.
Sevco are relying on the MSM’s inability to investigate.

‘crushed nuts?’ ‘Naw, Layringitis!’
That is probably it, in a nutshell.
Lennybhoy-It’s EPL as opposed to Championship,and Rosie the Dog is his agent ? 7/2 from 66/1.

The big one concert in Doire, Ireland, Derry city of culture, the concert is being held on the other side of the foyle, near the peace bridge and just a few hundred metres where we left my dads ashes in Feb, brings a wee tear to my eye that, I wish I was back home in Doire.

Hail Hail!
Great start to the 20 years CL Highlights – huns getting knocked out and Sally greeting!
Lennybhoy-Looks like they are waiting on Martinez.
Evening bhoys from a warm hun free mountain valley.
Well, well, well, that was a surprise the huns finding no link between Chuck and our hero.
I suppose that will be the end of things according to the sfa.
Signing players like there is no tomorrow, all a scam to get the season book money in, con the bears, and they are thick enough to swallow it again.
I see the media are making Griffiths out to be the next great hope, Kelvin will have him in his hipper all game imo.

Sorry your link is not playing on this infernal device. I’ll have to watch it later on my PC (the wee guy’s on it just now – Club Penguin or something).
I definitely have a feeling though that it will be a case of, “oh a great effort there by Griffiths beaten away by Forster and the ball comes to Brown, played forward to Commons who puts the ball into the six yard box and there is HOOPER who makes it 1-0 for Celtic after 12 minutes! (To be repeated on 3 further occasions)!
COYBIB.

Sally can only dream of a top three finish :)
If Martinez leaves Wigan and Peligrini (Sp) leaves Malaga, Marinez could end up there.
Everton will go for a younger man who will be around for a few years. I know Martinez is relatively young but Malky, Stubbs or Poyet.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
