We should commission a study into what happens to football teams immediately after a big game when they need to play a less illustrious opponent. This week Kilmarnock got a better result against Celtic than Barcelona, and unlike the Catalans, Kilmarnock were away from home.
Cast your memory back five years for a better example. Celtic beat Champions League holders, Milan, remarkably the only time the club have recorded a win against reigning champions, and met Gretna the following weekend, at Fir Park, Motherwell. Gretna were promoted that summer but had cutbacks forced on them, as the financial gamble to promote them to the top flight. Still, a James Grady free kick caught Artur Boruc on his heels. It took goals from Chris Killen (remember him?) and Scott McDonald in the final three minutes to save face for Celtic. Gretna failed towards the end of that season and were subsequently liquidated.
Celtic got the better of both Spartak Moscow and Benfica that season.

Opera?!
Went, or rather, was taken twice – fell asleep once.
HH!!
LOL! I actually love opera mate. Mostly I attend in The UK but would love to visit La Scala or maybe Prague. Think Prague may be cheaper!
Tallybhoy,
It,s not over till Fat Sally sings.
Was there not a sheet went around ibrokes last year ….. Didnt get many coins thrown in … But it did have a mispelt statement against hmrc … And that wasca flop too ;)
Gene,
I presume it’s short for Eugene. Always thought that was a great name, tbh.
There’s a few sh*ts that run round ipox every other week

Knew that , just it seems inappropriate for death and destruction to
come from something so trivially named.
Churchill told his chiefs of staff that they should`nt use trivial names
for their operations, as it was bad enough for their parents to lose
a child, but to lose their child in an operation called jamboree or
tally-ho was doubly galling

It is and yes it’s ok now but a nightmare when you’re a 7 year old in a tenement

Ticketus own ipox at the moment, but, as per moniker, BDO will sell all assets and distribute the money between the creditors…
In the old Hollywood heyday there was an actress called Gene (Tierney), she was a wummin. A good lookin’ wummin.

Being of Italian extraction I should perhaps be expected to like opera!
But I’m a philistine – apparently! I’m not at all ‘tho – even if I do say so myself!
The theatre where I was – the ‘Carlo Felice’ in Genova/Genoa – was absolutely beautiful ‘tho. You should check it out.
HH!!
celt55 –
dratt – maybe i need to change my blog name
The boy jinky. We could be talkng about the same thing in deepest darkest Ayrshire we called them black boabs. H.H.
Just read MWDs post of 07.16 on the last thread.
Excellent stuff and saves me from penning anything lengthy about the false debate last night on the customer’s right to boo.
There are no rosy specs involved in our memory of the old jungle. They could be just as judgemental and scathing in their player evaluations but they knew their role as a support. Before we started preening ourselves as the greatest support in the…. whatever, an accolade the home CP support rarely merits, we saw our role as roaring the team on to victory. Our fist thought on conceding a goal at CP was to re-double our supportive singing and chanting to terrify the cheeky upstarts who had scored against us.
Nowadays, we tend to turn on our own and have become very like other supports and crowds. Thankfully this sea change has not contaminated the away crowd or our Euro support but I fear we are fighting a losing battle.
Just logged back on whats with all the Oprah black baby stuff are the huns being racist again?

Did splicers not get banned? Seem to remember something about that?
SFTB
the greater the wages the players get the greater the expectation of success from the support
The grand commercialising of football has caused the change …..a great deal of footballers are aloof egotists …it’s little surprise that supporters get fed up when they under perform
Sorry PFAYR

I don’t think they will.
I am only saying that because of much more infomed bloggers than me have said they won’t.

Setting free the Bears. Surely if we say Football is part of the entertainment business and the players are paid a fortune to entertain.The fans have to pay out there hard earned cash in these hard recession hit days to attend the games surely then if there is no entertainment coming from there heroes ( as per yesterday ) they have the right to let there feelings be heard at the end of the game ? H.H.
NatKnow,
I’m sure Budapest is cheaper still (was when I went).
spangles and penny caramels
Tallybhoy,
How can we know whether your cooking’s any good if we don’t sample it?
To make things easy, let me have some & I’ll post my judgement here.
Fry’s 5 centre, toffos
Are we any closer to an official result in the Sevco tax case?
Just saw the highlights from yesterday,,,first off Killies fort goal is a shocker from our point of View,,young Adam is as much to blame as big Efe,,but the penalty decision is awful,no way is tht a pen,,,and to compound things wee Izzy scores a perfectly good goal only to see it chopped off for offside!!!
Best to put ths match behind us and move on!!
HH
All the old sweets and chocolate bare you are all mentioned are still available, Anna’s Larder in Alloa still has them, or most of them anyway,round the corner from Lidl’s.

Tallybhoy taught Jamie Oliver everything he knows – unfortunately not about cooking
