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.

This one made me smile, from BBC

Rory McAllister is booked for a late challenge on Rangers captain Lee Wallace. He’s been putting himself about this afternoon, the big plumber.
The “big plumber” was subsequently dismissed

Not as prolific as Ronald Villiers mind.
Swalex’s nose looks as if it is about to combust!
Never seen it that colour!

I keep learning interesting stuff on here, amongst other things.

Does my bum look hot in these heated trousers?
The most Celtic place in Italy
Apologies if this has been answered but has the 5 way agreement been published?
Have the Huns been punished yet??
Thanks lads. Yer all champions.
As I said there is an interesting angle here and that is how to take the ideas, thoughts, views, feelings of a fairly broad swathe of humanity each with their own experience as a foundation and so each unique and through a dialogue convert these abstracts into concrete action.
This process has probably been going on since the arrival of the printed press but today it is much more dynamic with new factors being introduced from those experiences that challenge long held views.
If there is anything faster than the speed of light it is the speed of thought and that is only hampered by the time it takes it to leave one mind and enter the consciousess of another.
That process in terms of reach and speed increases with each day and there can be no doubt that if the world of our children is much different from ours that of our grandchildren as adults, where minds will not be as separated by space and time, will be unrecognisable.
Remember ET going home and what he built to get there?
Are we human beings doing the same?
Just a rum soaked thought based on reading too many SF books and watching them become movies.

There’s a copy on lodge notice boards
Charles Green says he wants to buy Gary Oldman and relaunch him as Gary Numan.

No and therein will lie the answer to many questions and the restoration of trust.
Whoever reveals the 5 way enables change.
Good afternoon CHAMPIONS
Some of the comments on here today are hilarious. Especially the ones about pillows, heated trousers and the Swallex nose had me in stitches. Keep up the good work posters.

The funny thing is it is only light that is restricted to the speed of light. It is theoretically possible to travel at faster than the speed of light, you won’t get a signal on your mobile though.
Is there any internet/youtube footage out there of yesterdays outstanding tyncastle distruction banner display from the GB.??

When would you realistically expect to hear something from BDO?
BSR,
A gem. Tourie tipped.

Obscene is a good word to describe what they get paid, even if they do pay tax
