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.

Superb news, I hope wee Oscar continues to make a full recovery. I think you have been exceptionally strong at this very difficult time and I hope you and your good lady have peace of mind as soon as possible. I hope that brilliant wee battling bhoy of yours gets to see many many Celtic titles and cup wins alongside his old man, even better he gets into a title winning Celtic team, you never know. ;)
Praise the Almighty Lord.

Big Joe- is your mate P.Lawell?
A dont have any mate……………………
AmBigJoeNOmates………………….OKmysecretsoooooooooooooooootYESitis
Ernie
I know what you are saying.
I just do not see how such an entity can be enititled to participate in the league “in accordance with the rules”.
And that is a whole different ketlle of fish.
Good Evening,
Let me ask a question. What would be your dream job? If you could pick an occupation that would pay you a handsome sum and make you happy as Larry ( whoever happy Larry was ), then what would it be?
A few years ago, I was speaking to a guy whose sister was the personal assisstant to Sir Mick Jagger!
What a job that is I thought. Going between houses in London, New York, The Carribean etc. Access to concerts, music, films, parties and so on. She would travel, attend meetings with execs in the music and entertainment world and business types who look after Mick’s wealth and property.
Bloody marvellous thought I.
Then, in the next breath, the same fella told me that she had just told Mick to stick his job where the sun don’t shine!
Now, my immediate thoughts were on why? What would be the downside to being Sir Mick’s PA?
Perhaps, given Mick’s reputation she was expected to be a really– eh— well — PERSONAL assisstant if you know what I mean?
But that wasn’t it.
Maybe she was fed up covering his tracks when he meandered in the direction of some good looking woman that he wasn’t married to, or she was unhappy about being party to his extramarital dalliances?
But no, that wasn’t it either. Nor was it that she was overworked or underpaid.
No, she packed it in because oul Sir Rubber Face would not buy her a mini to scoot about town in!
Now Mick is known to be– well– tight with the purse strings, and he argued apparently that it would be cheaper if she just got a Taxi everywhere. Now she didn’t like this and after yet another argument about it she said she was off!
To be fair, Sir Rolling Stone tried to persuade her to stay and pointed out that she would never– ever– get another job like this— stressing that this WAS the DREAM job.
He was therefore surprised when she told him that she had another job and that it was every bit as good as the job she was leaving.
Jagger was a bit astonished at this and asked what the job was. He was even more astonished when he learned that the young lady concerned was soon to become the Personal Assisstant to the new Batman- Mr Val Kilmer!
Now Kilmer may not be a fully blown grade A supertsar but you have to admit that going from Jagger to Kilmer– for more money, your choice of car, a bit of California sunshine and all that Hollywood stuff is not bad for a lassie from Glasgow.
All this came to mind last week when I watched Kilmer’s portrayal of Doc Holliday in the movie Tombstone. It is a great performance– full of slightly camp and curious quirks seemingly portraying the great gunslinger at his outrageous best.
Which is funny because Doc Holliday was no gunslinger at all– in fact he was a dentist!
He was certainly friendly with the gooder then good Wyatt Earp and supposedly saved his life one time when Wyatt was cornered in a saloon by more than a few gringos who were threatening to terminate his existence.
But John Henry Holliday was more of a gambler than anything else. There was no evidence at all to suggest that he was fast with a gun, other than perhaps a statement made by Wyatt Earp himself who may well have had an interest in promoting Holliday’s reputation.
It has been suggested that Holliday’s participation in the gun fight at the OK Coral owes much to the fact that it took place outside of his hotel and he was certain that the Clanton gang were going to shoot him anyway due to his skill with the cards– or his ability to cheat with the cards. Apparently, rather than relying on his supposedly fast draw, The Good Doc just kept a great big riffle under his coat and when the fun started he just brought it out and blasted away.
Of his known gun fights Holliday succeeded in shooting one guy in the toe, completely missed another, and on more than one occasion he got shot himself. He certainly did not shoot Johhny Ringo– who more than likley shot himself ( the enquiry said suicide )– as he was many miles away at the time.
I like the notion of Holliday– the classically educated and learned man who could speak Greek and Latin but who would rather be a gambler than a Dentist. With a lightening quick temper, he always had the ability to find trouble and is reported to have always slept with his boots on so that he could “Run” at any time of night.
He formed a long and lasting relationship with a lovely girl known affectionately as BIG NOSED KATE-aka Mary Catherine Horony who had been born in Hungary. She has variously been described as a hooker, dancing girl, bordello keeper and gambler, but Holliday considered her as his intellectual equal!
Anyway, you see the point is that poor oul Doc Holliday died in his bed at the ripe old age of 36 having suffered from consumption most of his life. In fact he died just two nights after Brother Walfrid, John Glass & Crew had their wee meeting to set up Celtic FC. When he died he is reported to have looked at his feet and found that nurses had taken his boots off– and so looking at his bare feet he declared “Ain’t that funny!” and promptly kicked the bucket!
Real gunfighters like John Wesley Hardin, William Bonnie, Wild Bill Hiccock and others all died from getting shot– but not our Doc– no he just passed away—- more a gunfighter of myth than legend.
His reputation was all a bit of spin really.
Over at Ibrox, the story of Doc Holliday should be pinned to the wall because no matter what, the truth of what you do will always come and find you. Like Wyatt Earp, Jack Irvine can spin the story of Craig Whyte and the Rangers accounts till he is blue in the face– but the truth will out!
It is tempting in this little story to christen Craig Whyte as Doc Whyte ( Doctor Whyte does have certain connotations don’t you think? ) and surround him with Jim Irving Twerp and Brown Nose Smith, and paint them as hunkering down for the gunfight at the Ibrox Coral with all the baddies surrounding them. Or maybe gambling on the basis that he can raise some money on some Ace players ( Jelavic and McGregor ) and some not so Ace ones– ones maybe rated 8/10– such as Davis and Whittaker.
Some would undoubtedly think of being chairman of Rangers as their dream job. Maybe it is if you are the real deal, a wheeler and dealer with all the aces up your sleeve.
But if you are just a gambler– and Craig Whyte is definitely a corporate gambler— you will have to get out of Dodge if you have no more cards to play and cannot settle your debts.
That is what Holliday did when the heat there got a bit too much for him. Better that than be cornered in a saloon in Deadwood South Dakota like Wild Billy Boy Hickock. When he was shot Bill Hickock was of course holding his cards– a pair of aces and and a pair of eights.
Ever since Aces and eights have been known as the Dead man’s hand!
Aces and Eights– with just one card left to show. Where you have the potential of the full house but just as easily end up dead on the floor. Just like Wild Billy boy.
I wonder if Craig goes to bed with his boots on?
Oh–I believe the Scottish Lass played her hand ok and still works in Hollywood– a place a bit like Ibrox where they play at make believe!
Dontbrattbakkinanger – Jeezus that’s almost as scary as the rumour about Big Fat Boyd coming! LOL
Saint Stivs – Good yin mate!

paddy is a fair player, but he can be hit and miss
i suspect celtic would sell him if a bid of 1 million + came in, i would neither be happy or unhappy because over the peice paddy has made limited impact, irrespective of the reason.
however, there are many others i would move on before i looked towards paddy such as, m.wilson, cha, loovens, thompson, mcginn, murphy, radmussion, dan, o’dea chavi, zaluska
but, we have a few good young bhoys coming through the ranks i’d be happy to see make the step up including george, keatens, watts and mcgeogh and sometimes having too many squad players hampering progression.

McCoist admits he would be interested in signing Spanish striker Javi Guerra if the chance to bring him to #RFC arose
Brilliant stuff!
Still nothing official about Hayes? Hmmmm.
Don’t move in the transfer market at all in January.
Keep the pot.
Use it to buy EVERYTHING the Huns own, from the administrator.
Then paint it all green and lease it back to them at exorbitant rates.

We could get a few bottles of wine from their cellar and call a meeting of any CQN Bhoys knowledgable in these matters of good wine to discuss our strategy.
May take a few days.
Just read in today’s Metro an article on Dorin Goian. He claims that he was going to pack in football due to sever back problems until his priest encouraged him to worship at some holy relics at a monastery in Bucharest. He was cured soon afterwards and claims it as a miracle that allowed him to continue his career.
I wonder what that does to ‘ra peepels’ opinion of him now!!!

Dream Job?
I would take the job I have now, but in Glasgow not Sheffield
I can honestly say I really like my current job.
Having said that,today has been a real low point at work and since I got in I am struggling a bit to disengage from today.
I am really telling you guys in the hope it helps me, sorry.
I spent today in the Coroner’s Court at my first Work Related Death Inquest.
So not a pleasant experience.
I was sat very close to the family of the deceased and my heart went out to them, to have to go through that
If any of you guys have ever attended one of these as a family member you have my total sympathy.
I got a whole new insight into why H&SaW is important.
Don’t die at work!
Thanks for listening, I’m away to get wrecked

What he fails to understand ( he and the vast majority) is that without their blatant cheating they wouldnt have 5 wee scrawny stars
All ive heard all week is ching ching ching as the pennies finally begin to hit the deck
Shut the door on yer way out the SPL door would ya !!
I am a tad bemused as to why so many are desperate for us to sign players in January. There is a reason why any player is available in this month and that reason is seldom positive. What exactly is wrong with the squad we have? We have two prolific goalscorers yet I constantly read we are desperate for a striker. Why? What is wrong with Stokes and Hooper? I also read on a equally regular basis that we are desperate for a centre back. Really? Which club in Scotland has better than: Mulgrew,Loovens,Wilson and Rogne? If you tell me Rangers, I tell you it is because you believe our media. If you tell me Loovens is rubbish, I tell you it is because you are not judging him on this season`s performances. As for Wilson and Rogne being error prone, just look at the improvement in the much more error prone Majstorovic when the midfield was strengthened by the inclusion of the Mighty Victor.
So, if , because of some unusual circumstances a class act becomes available, wants to come to us and we can afford him, then fine. Otherwise, leave well alone . Finally, surely experience should show that success through buying is not the guarantee that too many assume.

Hoopedreams
Your reading of the rules is different from mine and therein lies the problem.
Don’t follow why a share would be transferred to an existing SPL member who already owns a share.
