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.

Exactly, why on earth would Sky have their game this weekend. IN 20 years of watching Sky Tv I’ve never seen them show Celtic or the old co at home in a cup game, sure away from home they put on the usual show (visit the lock butcher) but never a home game.
I think Sky must’ve had a deal with the SPL that they show any hun game they want??
Interesting article on yahoo about MK Dons v AFC Wimbledon:

There seems to be an argument about some old club’s history.
No arguement at all about their history from all our points of view!
We all know their dead!

They are in denial…….incidentally, when I was young, and first heard the ‘Sir Roger Casement’ song, I was fascinated by the story……..I read up on him, to discover a true patriot. I also came to understand the major contribution ‘ ideals’ play the drive of patriots ….. He was some men, as we’re many of the Irish Patriots of that era……..may his sole, and the soles of all his fellow patriots, rest in peace….
Despite your ego, I don’t see any reference to PFayr.
See this iPad ……it’s nearly as stupid as sally……LOL
Watching Birmingham v Middlesbrough
the Championship
the best league in Euroupe.

Think it’s more a case of that would convince the gullible of continuity ,a bit like the five way cover up (sorry agreement ).
You would think that someone was trying to sell shares in the new club the way this is all playing out
What you mean they are

Or it has taken them that long to raise the cash to hold the event.
They may celebrate 140, if they were founded 1872. However, they can never celebrate: 141, 142…150 because they are dead.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

Evening bhoys from a cold but thankfully hun free mountain.
Are they deed ?
Yes and no.
Still huns roaming the streets, singing their songs.
Still huns roaming the streets spreading their hate and bile.
Still huns playing at the bigot dome, in blue with the same badge.
Still cheating.
Still lying.
Still manipulating the msm.
Still in control of the football authorities, and more importantly, still have the referees in their pockets.
Still as bigoted as they ever were.
Still breathing.
When all of the above is gone, they will be dead in my eyes.
But I do see the point of those who say they are deed.
Sorry if mentioned before but billy no’wells new Christmas tune is bloody hilarious. Should be number 1.
Hail hail

LOL……..that’s exactly what they are trying to do………..brainwash their hoards into believing their team didn’t die …….. Well, the reality, as ever, will come out ‘in the wash’…..any idea when the share date actually is…?
Cheers PFayr, Flanaghans for the drink then on to Elliot’s for the Expensive drink and the think they they are someting beautiful brigade, must admit the food is good.

THE EXILED TIM
ZOMBIES
Celts, it’s maybe just what people percieve as being fact, we know what we know and rfc are extinguished, dead etc
Now it’s plain to see that the zombie nation are ensuring that sevco return to the spl or a new version of the spl, they’ll likely win it innaw if the refs and their masters get their way.
Me, I’m still of the same opinion as i have been over the last 3 yrs or so, lets get out of this Masonic infested back water of a football league.
Just my opinion Celts

Zombie huns, huns all the same tho :>)
Sevco supporters claiming their club is 140 years old are in denial and they know it. That’s why it gets them so wound up. Ask them why if they are the same club were they entered into 1st round of Scottish Cup and not the 3rd round?
Their “red card to liquidation” display was an admission that liquidation equals new club.
Unsurprisingly, the media has repeated the myth that they were “relegated” enough times that those who don’t care enough believe it.
They make me think of White land owners in Africa refusing to acknowledge the end of Colonial rule. “I don’t care what others say. As far as I’m concerned I still own this land in my heart and the country is still Rhodesia.”
That’s how preposterous BFDJ and his ilk are. Still, let them celebrate their 140 day birthday and have a wee smile as you remind them that the earth is round :-)
That post was my 1st howl at the moon tonight
:>)
Deep down, Sevconians know RFC 1872 is dead. Green himself admitted that would be the result of liquidation when he arrived on the scene.
That’s why they had a “red card to liquidation” day.
They pretend it isn’t the case, and they are partially sustained in their delusion by a cynical press and media.
But they know it. And every day it kills them to know that we know it too.

Elliot’s isn’t very good for lads behaviour …they don’t really go for bevvied carrymanonsense
I suppose it’s a bit like celebrating 322 years of the Battle of the Boyne, in their hearts King William is alive but he kinda passed away some time ago. They are celebrating his spirit, just like they will do for the liquidated old club.
The only people they are trying to convince is themselves.
Look, it’s quiet simple.
Ask a zombie if he had shares in Rangers, if he had, ask him are they now shares in the new club.
There not?
oh dear……….
Thats the thing we know they are dead, even (going by posts on here) the huns know they are dead. Yet what do the SFA/SPL/SFL think? We need to know that, then we are fine.
Goldstar
The spirit isn’t enough for them ..they want to perpetuate the daft notion that they are the most successful club in the world
