Dangers ahead, unimaginable mess and new euphemism

988

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.

    No one can be that stupid, can they, after the disappearing tricks of their CEO and all the other manure hitting the ventilation no one can be that stupid.

     

     

    I would love to see the answers in an Orc survey : Why did you renew??

  7. Quick techie question folks,

     

    Have just bought a few tickets for the Seville shirt being raffled.

     

    I notice mine is the only buyer name being shown; all others have some form of anonymity . i assume this is through their ebay user settings.

     

    Any idea what I need to do to have name not showing for future purchases?

     

    Thanks.

    My big mate John Jo from the Amadams played in Jack Dempseys on 33rd just round from Macys and facing the back of the empire state building and said its a mad Celtic shop. It’s the home of the Manhattan no1 Fenian Bhoys CSC so I think that’s where you want to be heading

    I think Paul is to fly for me to spike his drink. I remember one year we were having a drink in the afternoon at Aberdour, and I was either bought a drink Or I asked Paul and his dad if they fancied a drink and they said a pint of Carling Two or something like that so I decided to have the same,not a mention that it was a minimum alcohol drink I had a few before I twigged.

    If i understand your question right it’s only the bidder that sees his own name against a bid -if i looked at the item i wouldn’nt see your name only bidder 1 bidder2 etc

  14. Paul67

     

     

    I’d rather be a Timmy than a Hibbee.

     

     

    Celtic have won last 4 cup matches v Hibs at Hampden, scoring 17 goals in the process.

     

     

    Last Hibs win was the ole Dryborough Cup final in 1973.

     

     

    Ooooffffttttt CSC

  15. Blantyretim if you can get in touch with BRHT could you let him know . I,m not in Glasgow until about 6 tomorrow evening so can,t make the book signing. Hail Hail Hebcelt

  16. !!Bada Bing!! on

    BSR-This season’s Mad Men is poorest so far IMO and getting more bizzare by the week..

  17. Renewal of Season Books extended for a week, that doesn’t sound great, I assume it means there are a lot of fans who have not yet renewed.

  18. bt & heb,

     

     

    ive got that one covered allreadies i think, just waiting on confirmation back.

  19. Paul67.etal.

     

     

    Hibernian are on an outstanding run of form, having won their last three games and undefeated in six….

     

     

    Paul you should have mentioned that Hibs haven’t won the Scottish Cup in 112 years,they were gubbed by a poor Hearts team 6-0 in the final last year,I’ll be very angry if Celtic get beat by a team that has a problem winning the Scottish Cup. Celtic will win and it should be easily Celtics best result in years.

    Cheers mate..

     

     

    allthough, he might want two, who knows.

  21. JON Daly has been confirmed as Sevco’s latest signing, having put pen to paper on a two-year deal.

     

    The 30-year-old centre forward scored 15 goals in 44 games for Dundee United last season. The Irishman leaves Tannadice after six-and-a-half years.

     

     

    Value for money in the Second Division. lol!,
