It’s been so long since we lost a goal it feels like there should be an inquest today. A couple of mistakes in a wide position, followed by two deflections, which confused Craig Gordon, and that’s all it took. I’m OK with this. We’ll make mistakes and lose goals, this is one of the better ways of doing so.
Of slightly more concern was how St Johnstone match us for possession and chances created or long period during the game, belying their bottom half of the table position, some 7 points shy of Hamilton. Ronny will be keen to turnaround this specific ill for next week’s game against Accies, but the plan for Thursday will be altogether different.
Had a great time on Friday at the Irvine CSC, a very impressive club in the Ayrshire town. Get along and support it if you are in the area, they are doing a lot of good work. There’s no better way to prepare for a game against Inter Milan than to listen to Stevie Chalmers and Bobby Lennox telling you how it’s done, as they did at Irvine.
Thanks in particular to the man who put a bunch of tenners in my hand for Mary’s Meals. What a club!
Big week ahead……

I see earlier people discussing Rapid Vienna game at Old Trafford….
Good trivia question…
On the same night Celtic were playing at Old Trafford, MU were also playing an important European tie.
Where?

Am I right in thinking that some of their members permanently reside in Scotland ?

Some of my thoughts on fans ‘proud traditions’…
I wonder how many of the Sevconian ‘faithful’ actually attend the Kirk?
I suspect, they are protestant in name only and only attend the Kirk for christenings, weddings and funerals.
*I worked with one, right wee blue nose, let all and sundry know very loudly that he would be at church and communion on Christmas Day along with his wife and weans, it was a tradition.
Some one said to me “what about you Tontine”, “I go every Sunday” was my reply. The comeback was “you kafflicks have tae go”.
But, whilst I believe the number of active Catholics who follow Celtic is far, far greater, there too, I believe, a significant number are Catholic in name only.
My mother called the latter “Parkhead Catholics”.
It was -41 this morning and as I walked intae Church, (don’t call it chapel over here), I said to the wee usher that I hope what we believe in is true else we are wasting our time on such a cauld morning.
Back in Swindon in time for my nightshift!
Grateful thanks to all who made sure I enjoyed myself,and to the Scots/Irish diaspora who did their best to drink Belfast dry!
For Alan in Dublin,sign in and get posting!
Special mention for the belle of the ball,Dena29,who told us every time she sank a Guinness that she isn’t a drinker-she learns fast,btw!-then proceeded to regale us with ribald tales from the student days,mostly involving a yard of ale!
Great day,great crew.
PS-all future hootenannies are to be organised by 16 ROADS and GEAROID1998. They shooor know how to throw a party…

Very quick and very funny
I was at Brian McLaughlin’s comeback game, it was a reserve game on a Friday night at Boghead. Jackie McNamara Sr and Andy Ritchie also player, the latter scoring a hat trick, nae tap ins either.
I believe that both McAdams played for Dumbarton that night. At half time the Sons unveiled their new signing, Ian Wallace.
67 HEAVEN 22.43…….bring your flags to paradise….flags green and white displayed around the stadium v inter Milan…..what was noticeable at the hun game at Hampden was the greater amount of hun flags compared to what was on display at the celtic end……then again the inflatable monkeys made up for it ….some fans couldn’t resist using them as punch bags

They need all the money that they can get their grubby hands on.
Wait till Inter see the canteen menu!
Surely Our club .should redevolpe Barrow field Trading Ground and out of Courtesy .when teams come to play us in the Champions League or the Europa .Celtic should tell them they are welcome to use the facilities there.

SOT, I have a Darrel Banks cd ‘The lost Soul’ released by Goldmine or Kent I think about 15 years ago.. Open the Door and Somebody else somewhere are 2 of the greatest soul tracks ever. KTF✊
================================================================
Glad we agree on something – “Open the door to your heart” – great song – used to sing it in another life – do you also remember Soul Brother Six – I’ll be loving You – Some Kinda Wonderful – oh those halcyon days – where did they go?
Proud…
3rd plays 4th, winner plays 2nd, winner plays premiership 11th
I think!

Jim Murphy chasing votes

All politicians “chase votes” – even those who tell ‘porkies’ about the Oil Price/Bank of England/Sharing Currency and the EU, NATO & NHS.
Evening all. If you want a real laugh take a look. Too good not to share. My sides are still hurting :)

Where?
Dundee UTD at Tannadice.
Remember being at OT and getting a bit irate when the crowd started singing Glory Glory Man UTD when we were getting beat!
It seems that Scotland is not alone in suffering from poor refereeing decisions (honest mistakes?), if this report by Mark Walker in the Scotsman is accurate…………
“Admittedly, they (Inter) were aided by some beneficial refereeing decisions including a penalty inside the opening minute and a questionable Atalanta sending-off for dissent.”
“Inter were gifted a penalty inside 50 seconds at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia when Guarin was somehow adjudged to have been blocked by Atalanta captain Gianpaolo Bellini in the box.
Xherdan Shaqiri netted the penalty despite Atalanta keeper Marco Sportiello getting a hand to it. But instead of settling Inter, the awful decision only seemed to galvanise the home team and ex-Hearts striker Mauricio Pinilla somehow missed an open goal from a couple of yards out when he ballooned the ball over the bar.
But he soon made amends when the home side deservedly equalised in the 28th minute. He won a header against Inter skipper Andrea Ranocchia into the path of Argentine striker Maximiliano Moralez who comfortably scored.
Inter regained the lead against the run of play eight minutes before the interval when Guarin curled in a superb shot.
Inter were handed another gift by referee Luca Banti just after the break when he sent off Atalanta defender Yohan Benalouane for a second booking for dissent. Guarin grabbed his second goal in the 63rd minute, curling in an effort from distance, before Palacio netted a sublime finish after Guarin set him up.”
Just watched the highlights of Atalanta v Inter.
Soft penalty is putting it mildly!
Guarin goal was superb.
Inter seemed to get the “rub of the green”, but this win is what they needed ahead of Thursday.

Ian Wallace was/is a dirty Zombie who I managed to oust in trials for Dunbartonshire schools.
He went on to carve out a good career for himself to be fair.
He hammered the bevvy for years afterwards.
A hun in Clydebank kind of unheard of.
He could look after himself mind you.
Gutted that I could not make the Belfast session.
Delighted to see that all enjoyed themselves.
Magical.

Scottish Labour Leader Jim Murphy hits out at Twitter trolls who accused him of trying to cash in on Clutha tragedy
———————————————————————————————————————–
There are a number of Murphy-haters who frequent this forum – just answered one earlier on – however, let’s hope to God no one associated with Celtic was associated with the disgusting Clutha smear.
I still cannot get my head round why some Celtic supporters shower their bile on Jim – but they do.
Disagree with him OK, but do not doubt his desire to do good for, and in, Scotland.
Good morning friends from East Kilbride where an unusually (of late) rainy night has now given way to clearing skies and generally dry conditions underfoot.
Just 3 more sleeps.
Start the day with a smile ;))
