Fraser Forster has missed the last two games with a neck injury, which Neil Lennon suggested could have been sustained as a result of sleeping on an unfamiliar pillow in Spain last week. Fraser has been treated by a chiropractor but it might be a few games before he is back between the posts.
This is a known phenomenon. As well as bikes, spare tyres and pumps the GB Olympic cycling team make sure that each cyclist brings their own orthopaedic pillow on each journey. Olympic cyclists, like professional footballers, are finely tuned athletes who stress their bodies each day. Muscles are continually bashed and stretched making their bodies especially vulnerable a whole range of ailments.
The GB Olympic cycle team also used heated trousers. To be best of my knowledge velodromes are not particularly cold but as much as any type of athlete, cyclists require their leg muscles to go from rest to full throttle in an instant. Warm muscles are less prone to hamstring, calf, rolled ankle and ligament damage.
Did all this fine tuning get them anywhere? GB cyclists won 7 out of 10 gold medals available to them, so they are doing something right. Jock Stein was the first British manager to take food with the team when they played away in Europe, soon everyone was doing it. The need to find ways of ensuring Celtic are as well prepared as possible for every training session and game remains just as important.
Orthopaedic pillows and 20 minutes in heated trousers before warm-up would cost less than £1000. They would support neck muscles and potentially reduce our horrendous muscle-injury record. Best practice suggests we look into this.

Next time we’ll meet up in Kilwinning.
I’ll introduce you to some Masons.
They can teach you how to keep a secret,and you can ask them why they’ve never rebuilt the Abbey!
Did the auld yins behave in your absence,or were they partying like the sprightly youngsters they are?
Just thinking of yer Dad,with the heavy metal music going full-blast,makes me smile…….

Aye,but not when you should be on the train home……
Here’s your notion,Saltires was commenting on my original post
pfayr
20:57 on20 January, 2013Not following this notion that going to Turin a goal down is any kind of best option or gives us a good chance
Saltires
Of course
But happily we didn’t have to play away to Juve each game
Started watchin’ the Valencia/Real game….went to make a Spanish omelette: came back and Real had done much the same to Valencia…smashin’ ’em 0-5.
That’s that then. Channel changed.
Seen this reply to sally lamonts drivel :))
@BBCAlLamont Celtic don’t sign big names, they make big names. Gary Hooper came in unnoticed as Aiden McGeady left.
Good night all
Tom Jones – His chest hair is insured for $7 million

Never saw Bobby Collins play for Celtic – he left in 1958 – but was a marvellously gifted player. 320 games played, 117 goals scored. Not bad for someone who was not a striker!
I think I am correct in saying that he was the first Scot to win the POTY award in England in 1965.
Sad to hear that he may be suffering from alzheimers.
HH!!

He said best option , you said good chance
On the above I’m very clear
Neither of which I agree with
Lee McCulloch has insured his elbows.

A few members of the household distinctly unimpressed here after yesterday.
I blame the heady euphoria of four goals at home.
And lack of oxygen from being in the upper north stand.
And,erm,the boogie…..
Might have been a bad pint,I suppose. We didnae have many,much less than last week!

I’m still barred from Kilwinning!

The auld yins are still breathing!

I take it you are referring to Marr RFC? The last time I was in the clubhouse I passed out! Great night ‘tho – I think!
HH!!
FT 1-1 Roma v Inter.
Italian press had Roma’s Osvaldo linked with Juve (courtesy of SoT) if the Drogba/ Lorrentte deals didn’t come off.
No panic Bhoys – was off-side more often than Skippy and looks as lethal as Killen.

Is there a phone TEXT donation number ?
I was looking up the stats for Sean Fallon,Quite a versatile player.
But when I was looking up Sean’s stats,another kept showing up, that of Willie Fernie He was very flexible at Celtic,he played at right half,left half,outside right,inside right,inside left,outside left.Quite impressive,but he had it all.
Sean played in 3 different positions,Right back,left back,and centre foreward
O, Father dear, I oft times here, you speak of Erin’s Isle,
Her lofty scenes, n valleys green, her mountains rude and wild
T’say it tis a lovely lande, wherin in a saint might dwell,
oh why did you abandon it, the reason to me tell?
Oh son I loved my native land, with energy and pride,
‘Til a blight came over on my crops, my sheep and cattle died,
My rent and taxes were too high, I could not them redeem,
And that’s the cru-el reason why, I left old Skibbereen.
Oh, well do I remember, that bleak December day,
The landlord and the sheriff came, to drive us all away,
They set my roof on fire, with that cursed english spleen.
And that’s another reason why, I left ould Skibbereen.
Your mother too, God rest her soul, fell on the snowy ground,
She fainted in her anguish, seeing the desolation ’round.
She never rose, but passed away, from a life to immortal dream,
And found a quiet grave, my boy, in dear old Skibbereen.
And you were only two years old, and feeble was your frame,
I could not leave you with my friends,
you bore your father’s name,
I wrapped you in my cota mior, in the dead of night unseen
I heaved a sigh, and baid goodbye, to dear old Skibbereen
>>>>>>>>
O’ father dear, the day will come, when Kin answer to the call
EACH Irish men of Freedom Stern, will rally one and all.
I’LL be the man to lead the band, beneath the flag of green.
When loud and clear, well raise a cheer , reVENGE for Skibbereen

There are big brains on here. Can embdy explain this : Tivo box records movie (Switchback on Sky1 @ 10:00pm last night) : that was planned. Simultaneously it recorded the last ever two episodes of Fringe, and they’re not even on the schedule.
I am genuinely baffled, but quite happy about this.
Embdy else experience similar?

I did see him play but don’t really remember them much. My first games were in March 54 when we were on our title winning run.
I had to look up the PFA thing and it looks like you are right re him being the first Scottish winner.
http://www.myfootballfacts.com/FootballeroftheYearAwards.html
What is really amazing is that Stanley Mathews won it both in 1948 and 1963.
The list of winners is a list of legends.

Spurs done me out of a right few bob earlier today, so stuck on another treb, with Real, Roma draw, waiting for PSG, have stuck a wee saver on the draw.

While its quiet I’ll repost Kitalba’s message from the KANO 125 CFC fundraiser:

Kano got sick one night, very sick. If it was not for so many Celtic Supporters, from so many places, then Kano would be an ornament in a sterile hospital room. That is not nice because Kano still breathes and he still thinks and he is still a Celtic Supporter to his very core.
A lot of money, by a lot of people, was raised to take Kano home. He can’t ever balance the books, but he’d love to.
None of us gets more than one go on the roundabout of life.
Celtic is celebrating their 125th Birthday and indelibly stamping it into their history by encouraging all to embrace the simple ethos of the clubs founding… let’s try and help those who just don’t have more than the air that they breathe.
A lot of Celtic Supporters are doing a lot of different things to raise money for to help those less fortunate than ourselves. To a lot of people that is no big deal.
I’m determined to help Kano pay back the kindness shown to him by the Celtic Support by supporting my club to help unfortunates. No big deal.
There are some from here who have said they will help me to help Kano to help Celtic to help others.
I give up the bevie for 125 days and I give up posting on here for 125 days as of the 1st Jan.. No big deal really, Kano has done both for the best part of four years.
I ‘m going to put a wee bit aside for each day that I don’t drink or post and forward it to Celtic to hopefully fill a belly that needs a feed or to make an unfortunate hope where only darkness is their dawn.(but maybe I can have St. Pat’s day off so I can share a day with some good Tims)
I’ve only one life and when I’m gone I soon be forgotten but if I’ve ever managed to feed one hungry person, if only for one day, then my life was worth something.
No big deal to me or you but the person I fed, he/she will never know where the food came from and they won’t ever be visiting my grave to put some pretty flowers at the base of a head-stone, they’ll be too busy worrying about tomorrow.
I can live with that and like Kano, once I’m gone, I’ll know that I never changed the world, hardly left a mark, but still I took to Celtic and I did something to try and ease the pain of others… sort of the Celtic way.
Ps
Kitalba if your lurking only 55 days till St paddys :))
thank you for your efforts.
This time Goodnight all
This new phase that the support are going through,ie,shining the torch in their phones,would be quite impressive if we all done that at the Juventus game.
Buy a small torch if you haven’t a light in your phone,or buy a torch, and shine the light from your phone as well.I think that would be impressive.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD EVENING
MALORBHOY.
I mean it this time good night all :))

Have you figured out how to put the light on your phone yet

The tribute act are selling the naming rights of a dead club’s stadium for a few bob in sheer desperation….when they don’t even own them…..
Honestly, they would sell their granny ……comedy gold ……. Come on BDO, put them out of their misery fgs…..LLLOOOLLL……..!!!!!!!!
