A stream of criticism appeared in yesterday’s comments section to greet media coverage of yesterday’s Scottish Cup draw away to Inverness Caledonian Thistle or Dunfermline on 4 February. Such is our lot (long) after shock cup defeats; remember, these guys literally have to write something. No one mentioned 1961 so put your money on a trip to Fife next month.
A few moments ago Celtic confirmed Beram Kayal went through his operation yesterday and is now targeting a return to action for preseason. Irrespective of the circumstances of the incident in which he was injured, Beram’s is another in a long list of soft tissue injuries Celtic players have suffered in recent seasons, a fact which should engage minds at the club.
Rangers issued a really curious statement following the suspension of trading in their shares by the Plus Stock Exchange. Many Rangers fans have invested thousands of pounds in club shares and bonds, so one would have expected to read the obligatory suggestion from the company that investors take professional advice when addressing the withdrawal of the share disposal service. Still, at least they didn’t suggest “Rangers Football Club PLC could survive any administration event but feels it would not be the end of the world if it didn’t”. That kind of comment from those charged to look after their interests really would alarm shareholders.

Ole Anthony Worrall Thomson has been warned he’ll have to tread Caerphilly, as he’s now between a Roquefort and a hard Plaice.

What did D King (Billy) say about players not being paid? I’ve only heard a couple of bits of last nigts show from you tube – hysterical in every sense!
Cheers
I see wee Shaun was spotted playing for Wigan on Saturday, (twice in one season) unfortunately he had to off injured.
They are hopeful he won’t be out too long.

There’s a guy in my work that regularly says when talking to me
“do you know what I’m sayin?”
I annoy him by replying everytime he says it
“Yes, as you are speaking English, and it is my native language I do know what your saying.”
He pauses briefly, gives me a strange look, then carries on…….do you know what I mean? :))
I a know how you feel a guy in work keeps saying you get what I’m talking about, it gets in ma raspberry ripples.

It was in relation to the hun getting a euro licence, he said that they had to satisfy the sfa that they weren’t due any money to the tax man or weren’t due any money to players, that’s the first mention I’ve heard about players being due any money, Dawell has inside info from ibrokes and I think it was a wee slip of the tongue, there has been rumours of the coaching staff being due money, but players !!!

is she going to play up front?

Aye, we had a wee wummin in here, nice lady but had an awful habit of dropping into sentences the same two phrases, “at the end of the day”, and “the thing about it is”. Also had to use the non-word “thingamy” on several occasions during the working day.
***
Used to sit near a woman who would constantly use the phrase “touch base” instead of “talk”, as in “I’ll touch base with you tomorrow”. Ultimate was when she was on the phone and said “I’ll touch base with him and ask him to touch base with you”. Aargh!
B/T- she can play where she likes!
I’d even give her the armband.
I know a chairman of a football club who keeps saying iiiiii…iiii…iiii….iiii
iBhoy
“touch base”, “revert” , “looped in”, “going forward”! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Class but you owe me a new keyboard.
There’s a boy at work, every time wee Margaret Mary brings the tea trolley round, he dives up to the front of the queue and shouts’ Podium!’
Scrambles ma brambles.
I may have missed this as I haven’t read back yet.
Has anyone else heard that Mrs Whyte has filed for divorce due to hearing about Mr Whyte’s off the scale wealth which she was previously unaware of.
It’s looks like it’s going to get messier for Rangers.
This woman will not care about a football team. She will just want her dough.
Interesting times ahead.

I listened to snyde last night on my iphone app thingy, most interesting was the caller asking if Rankers tainted trophies would be rescinded. Wee Dawell explained that the EBT scam ran from 1999 – 2006 however in some cases it ran to 2008 as it was contractual !!!!!
EBT’s non contractual = Legal
EBT’S Contractual = ILLEGAL !!!!
Does he know something RTC does’nt ?

Or the woman at a meeting who said “I’ll socialise the design document”. Turns out she meant that she would email it to everybody. Cringe.
The latest one that gets on my smiddys here in landan is
‘everything is lastminutedotcom’
The other thing everyone says is, in a was like that.
Try that one everyone says it lol.
Don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade.
However, it is shaping up to be the same old same old January transfer window scenario.
Don’t act incisively. Hang around and see what dross becomes available at an acceptable price.
Come May, wring hands, tear out hair and lament another last minute title loss.
My admittedly jaundiced views on PL and January transfer windows are not helped by watching Steven Flatcher score with regularity in the EPL.
So McCoist has players he is interested in. Is that in the biblical rather than transfer sense?? Or does he really think he can persuade players to sign for a club that might not be around for long? Even a short term deal to the end of the season would be a risk for a player.

A genuinely sad story that puts football into perspective. I hope the appeal gets the required response and the required total is met, most of all I really hope the little girl gets the treatment required and that it proves a success.

What about ‘at the end of the day’

I hate it when people use the dotcom thing all the time.
Rough.com
Drunk.com
Tired.com
Drives me insane.
Other thing that drives me nuts is women using the what’s your point caller as banter. They don’t even know where it came from.
I always think that people at work that use ‘stay in the loop, touch base, going forward, etc’ have not got a scooby what they are talking about.
Keep it simple!

I’ve just seen Willo Flood at Annandale Services.
He was in the queue at Costa Coffee, with a smug smile on his wee face, like he was privy to a big secret.
‘such is life’
Apologies if anybody has already posted this, but its hilarious.

There was a really good post on here yesterday/last night about the January transfer window. The poster said that unless there was a really good top quality addition to be made to the starting eleven he wouldn’t bother in this window. I would tend to agree. This isn’t the same as the Willow window imo. Things are looking ok and I would be reluctant to mess with the team at present – a new face can bring disruption.
It’s not often that Jan brings in good transfer options – Lenny may be inclined to sit tight till the Summer.
A favourite of mine I keep saying when I meet someone is what’s happening or wit u uptae.
my own saying that mean nothing is reserved for anyone that uses
“early doors”.
never heard it spoken by anyone in real life, until BFDJ starting saying it on the radio.
i am convinced it was a stupid thing only he used, now its in common usage.
like
” them bailliffs came up the stair case early doors”
or
“what time is the next rangers court case, ”
“em, its early doors”

Fantastic news.
Kenya is an amazing country. There is severe poverty though and this is a great initiative in line with the clubs history.
Well done Celtic!

Anybody ever noticed how many times women use the word ‘nice’?
Everything has got to be nice,its like its the only adjective they know.
Does anyone have any idea why Clyde’s podcast for last night has still not been posted?
Did not listen but my brother told me it was hilarious so would like to review.
If we can get rid of some of the dead wood and we bring in a striker in the Sutton/Hartson mould and a centre half I would be more than happy.
Keep the players on their toes with fresh blood waiting in the wings to take their place if they get complacent.
