I suppose we should start by heading the warning from Sevconian under-performer, Ian Black, who suggested that the Third Division is harder than the SPL. By this logic, Second Division Arbroath will terrify the life out of the Celtic defence ahead of their Scottish Cup tie tomorrow, they did, after all, put three goals past Inverurie Locos in the Third Round tie, and again in the replay.
Only Montrose
Having previously experienced the delights of Brechin, Forfar and the Dundee clubs, after tomorrow, the only Tayside club I will not have seen will be Montrose. These opportunities don’t come around often enough!
In all seriousness, Second and Third Division football is not difficult, it is essentially Keep Fit on the cheap. Celtic must deal with the sincere endeavour of their opponents while giving an opportunity for several fringe players to grace Celtic Park.
With our midfield already stretched by injury and suspension ahead of the Spartak game, Neil Lennon will want to guard this area of the team in particular. Spartak play their last game before heading to Glasgow tonight, at home to Zenit, who sit five points about them after 17 games. This is a huge game for Spartak and interim manager Valery Karpin, who will either succeed as interim, and be made permanent boss, or to fail and to also lose his general manager position.
Unusually for the Champions League, they have five days to recover before facing Celtic, a game Karpin is keen to win. Celtic will technically only have four days rest but the bulk of players likely to play in midweek will surely be rested tomorrow.
Spartak will be without striker Welliton, who travelled to Germany for an operation this week. Emmanuel Emenike, who scored twice against Celtic last month, is likely to lead the line. Emenike is a penalty box striker who is more than capable of exploiting gaps in the Celtic box. Karpin may instead opt to play target-man Artyom Dzuba as a sole striker. Dzuba is not a prodigious goal-scorer but he is able to hold play up and bring others into the game.
I loved media suggestions today that Sports Direct have a fight on their hands from other firms if they want their brand used to rename Ibrox. You have to admire the intellectual endeavour that goes into news coverage in this country. Sports Direct area THE key business partner for The Rangers. The only issue open to question is how much skin they are in the game for and what they get in return. Remember this when you’re buying sports kit for Christmas!
Lower league clubs will all surely be quaking in their boots at the news The Rangers will not only bring in well over £20m in a share issue, but could also earn countless riches from stadium naming rights. The leaked IPO PowerPoint presentation suggested the Offer for Subscription would commence on Monday. I am sure it is on-plan.

Can I have Raspberry etc.
Being a taxi driver in Glasgow, it’s believed to be Clayslaps Road, which runs between Sauchiehall and Argyle, opposite The Art Galleries. (where the Ashoka is!)

Was Mother India, in its original incarnation, not on the corner of that? I remember people said it was on the corner of the longest and shortest streets in Glasgow.
Aiden McGeady after the game:
“We are very disappointed and know what our fans feelings are. Unai Emeri was too short here to change our play. The only thing I can tell our fans today is my appeal to be with us and support our team. We will try to stop that black series in our next game in Glasgow”

It was with trepidation I entered Tynecastle on Wednesday night.
After the events at Tannadice I dislocated my shoulder at Pittodrie when Mulgrew scored the second resulting in 2 paramedics having to come into the crowd and escort me, through the home support to a medical room.
When I noticed that my ticket for Hearts was in row 4 I considered giving it to Voguepunter!

Unlimited is best of course but Id say 1Gb is enough, Ive got that on my phone and dont over do that and I tend to go on line a lot when out the house. Depends what hes doing, downloading music, films or watching youtubes would be a danger. Make sure he connects to Wifi when in the house and you will be fine.
Id go for 32Gb hard drive, I was setting up someones ipod a few months ago and 16Gb wasnt enough for a smallish music collection, 32Gb seems about right for an average music collection. Depends if he is into music I suppose.

Sevco are considering selling the name rights for ipox …??????…..HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa …
The Scottish media will spin this latest greengo pension-pot initiative as a wonderful idea ….
Make no mistake, this is simply being considered since they are DESPARATE for cash……..
The gifts just keep coming this Christmas …..sore-heeded bhuns
Jobo,
i think thats conclusive proof it was you who started the ‘EK OK’ chants at iPox during the ’83 junior cup final between our home town and bo’ness

Watching movies on the device is what eats up the allowance,otherwise 1or 2gb should be enough.
Coming out of the Scotia bar with a friend one November night, it was so cold, when we spoke, our words turned into ice cubes.
We had to go bag to the hotel and thaw them out to hear what we said to each other.
Fact.

Do you have wifi in the house
FPLG was on the TV saying they are looking to sign players this window then register them in the summer window if this is correct when was the transfer embargo for a year or more manipulation of the rules helped by the brothers at the SFA

Ive also got a 8gb mp3 player and i can get about 4,000 songs on it.
Evening Celts, meal devoured, devil dug walked and bottle of sparkling opened, I think I’ll join the moonhowlers tonight for a wee music session.

I think if the young lads are just finished their respective paper rounds, it’s acceptable, they can’t sign any real players :>) until after the transfer window closes next summer, that’s my understanding.

HH my friend.
Coming home from work about 30mins ago, after dropping off my passengers, I switched onto RC for about 3mins.
There was obviously a ‘history’ debate regarding Rangers1872 FC and Sevco FC.
In that time I heard BFDJ and a caller go on about the ‘holding company’ dying but the club remaining the same. ( They are struggling to accept the fact that a holding company holds a company!)
He then went tried to bring Celtic into it with our company’s name change when we went to a plc.
HK then said that there is nothing in common regarding the two scenarios. That Celtic were not liquidated. Rightly so.
What we have now is the battle to get the truth of the matter.
The SFA in one statement can end all assumptions.
At some point in the near future they will surely have to.
But you have to wonder why they haven’t done so already.

SPF,
its really simple
if they are the same club
why dont they qualify to play in Europe :o)

You’re CQN’s answer to Brad Pitt, ain’t nothing could spoil that boyish coupon ;-)
Since CQN appears fixated with Glasgow’s thoroughfares, try another one.
What is unique about Alexandra Parade ?
What makes it different from every other main artery in our city ?
No,… you are not allowed to Google,…although I don’t know whether or not it would be any help.
Palacio,
2 gb on a phone equals to:
sending/receiving 10,000 one-page text emails
and 1,500 one-page emails with an attachment,
viewing 4,000 web pages,
uploading/downloading 500 photos to social media sites,
200 minutes of standard-quality video watching a month
kk
Parade ?
SPF
why are they not allowed to call themselves RFC …surely if they were the same club they’d have the same name
Besides which BFDJ is just a tool …a thick one at that
NC
No. Do you never listen to Challs, Ally and any other hun apologists? It’s because they’ve been punished that they can’t play in Europe!

Thanks Estadio. Yes in the house he will just latch on to the wifi. I think he sees the older lads on the Supporters bus with al the sky apps etc on their phones. He will only be using it going to school and Celtic park, that’s what gets me going to be paying a hefty monthly rental for a phone that he will not use much. (Talk/texts)

Need a bit of Help Bhoys.
My son is hinting at an iphone5 for xmas. He does’nt text or use his current phone much, so minutes and texts are not a problem just the amount of Data.
Is 1 or 2 gb of data enough allowance for a month, or should I try for unlimited data?
Also unsure of getting 16mb or 32mb version.
I have got unrestricted use of my company phone, so really do not know about the allowances available elsewhere.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts and tips.
HH

First I’d tell him no, and give him an android phone which costs a 10th of the cost and does the same :o)
But, I’d go for the 16Gb version iPhone as he won’t fill it really.
1Gb a month and tell him to use wi fi at home. No way he’ll use 1gb out of the house in a month.
Led Zeppelin gig at the o2 from 2007 has been released on DVD at last,
and tickets for the Boss at Hampden go on sale 7th Dec,
Happy days.
The players registrations didn’t transfer when old co went bust.
It’s a new club.
