The mind is a remarkable thing. If you ask around, you’ll find Celtic fans tell you we played Boavista in the Uefa Cup semi-final in Porto on the Thursday night, before going to Ibrox on the Saturday (it was the Sunday).
Similarly, Barry Ferguson is mumping his gums without restrain today, complaining about Rangers fixtures in May 2008. Rangers were due to play a ridiculous number of games in May due to qualifying for the Scottish Cup and Uefa Cup finals, while catching up on postponed fixtures.
The SPL decided to accommodate them by extending the league programme until two days before the Scottish Cup final. This final was on the last possible date before clubs were ordered to release players for that year’s Uefa European Championships, which started 14 days later.
This season has echoes of 2008 but nothing more. Whereas clubs would have been forbidden from using certain players after the date of the Scottish Cup final in 2008, under current proposals for this year, the second bottom club from the Premiership and qualifier from the Championship will need to retain a number of players beyond their contract end date of 31 May.
Retaining players beyond 31 May will cost clubs money, and players could theoretically refuse to extend their season by a few days, which is this season’s problem. 2008’s problem was a hard deadline imposed by Uefa with no extensions possible. The decision was out of the SPL’s hands.
Great article on the club site today marking Br. Walfrid’s passing and the struggles faced by our forefathers in the late 19th Century. The news that the Foundation are feeding 500 of Glasgow’s homeless today continues the momentum from Wednesday night. Well done to all involved.

Fair play to the hundreds who turned out in George Square to show support for the parents of Karen Buckley. A truly caring city.
Absolutely Syd, I commented on it earlier. I always feel Glaswegians pride themselves on being tough and God knows they are but there is a very genuine caring side to them.
I thought the turn out at 5pm on a Friday was really brilliant.

Dougie Vipond on shortbreid (am I allowed to say that?): “a swarm of monkeys”.
I take it big Tam English didn’t know the correct collective noun as he didn’t laugh.
Do you know that one of the possibilities is “a wilderness”.
Now is that appropriate or not?
A Dignity of monkeys?
Why the rampant simianophobia?
Surely they’ve been punished enough.
If the huns never cancelled a motherwell league game before they played Lyon in the CL ( pumped 3-0 so I didn’t help that time ) the bold fud one might have a point but you can’t cancel games willie nillie and expect everybody to wait about till you decide the season is finishing Barry boy, we won the league you never dry your eyes ya fud

Tremendous fact: Jock Stein never lost a domestic semi final in 14 years as Celtic manager. 13 league cup and 11 Scottish cup.

Roy Croppie.
Again brilliant. The Specials are one of my favourites. I watched an old grey whistle test recently and they sung that.
roy, theres a cracker back and white picture of Brian McClair at love street on the shamrock, add that to your collection, you probably allready have it.
For any Port yins looking in , the likeness in that pic of Choccy to Bandy (hughie higgins) is uncanny.
