While the postponement of today’s Premiership game against Dundee was inevitable, Brendan Rodgers and the players will be far from happy not participating in a game they prepared for. For the manager, in particular, this of one of the two games he could deploy Marvin Compper before heading to Ibrox a week on Sunday.
Compper signed his Celtic contact in December but it will be March before he wears the hoops for the first time. His experience would be invaluable at Ibrox next week, but on the back of only one game, and that against lower league opposition?
I don’t know the player but without further evidence, I’d stick with Ajer and Simonovic.

Jamesgang,
FWIW I think you’re pretty cool for your size, and my wee Bhoy agrees ;-)

Outsider is Hughes
I presume you mean Brian Hughes the jockey
Be a strange appointment but maybe he thinks he could whip those Donkeys into shape

I recently started to be plagued by tracking cookies – when I finally managed to disable them, the source became apparent and it was HITC which appears on the CELTIC NEWS NOW site. So not only does it try to stir up SH1 it also lets dangerous cookies in – AVOID IT!
SCULLYB,
James Forrest did a wee article a week or so ago on NEWSNOWCELTIC sources. If you subscribe to the site (free, and takes about 90 seconds to complete) you can then click on any source, eg. Daily Rectum, Herald, HITC, and click ‘Hide’ and that publication is GONE. Makes reading/sorting much easier and quicker as well as more satisfying knowing that you cannot even accidentally clickl on vermin sites.

Champion big stuff. I see you and yours are too.
Philbhoy,
Nah. Roy told me he spoke to Lawyell who said he’s off to Arsenal.
ALASDAIR MACLEAN
Lawwell off to Arsenal?
Some on here will be pleased!
:-(
What is the stars,
You’re correct. The Raith guys said we we’d be better off with him.
…..than Johnny, that is.
WITS: Any chance of an All Ireland final ticket through that source?:-)
Full steam ahead for the weekend cup ties it seems …

Thought it might have been Tomas Quinn. Father a gentleman, retired now. Ex Chair of St Vincent’s.

Good crowd at the Arsenal.

Passed your message on to OLDTIM.
I sent a message to the number, identifying myself with my Sunday name and Lennybhoy, they came back and asked who is this? I replied explaining again, since then no reply.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
March 1st 1981
Sunday 1st
I am standing on the threshold of another trembling world. May God have mercy on my soul.
My heart is very sore because I know that I have broken my poor mother’s heart, and my home is struck with unbearable anxiety. But I have considered all the arguments and tried every means to avoid what has become the unavoidable: it has been forced upon me and my comrades by four-and-a-half years of stark inhumanity.
I am a political prisoner. I am a political prisoner because I am a casualty of a perennial war that is being fought between the oppressed Irish people and an alien, oppressive, unwanted regime that refuses to withdraw from our land.
I believe and stand by the God-given right of the Irish nation to sovereign independence, and the right of any Irishman or woman to assert this right in armed revolution. That is why I am incarcerated, naked and tortured.
Foremost in my tortured mind is the thought that there can never be peace in Ireland until the foreign, oppressive British presence is removed, leaving all the Irish people as a unit to control their own affairs and determine their own destinies as a sovereign people, free in mind and body, separate and distinct physically, culturally and economically.
I believe I am but another of those wretched Irishmen born of a risen generation with a deeply rooted and unquenchable desire for freedom. I am dying not just to attempt to end the barbarity of H-Block, or to gain the rightful recognition of a political prisoner, but primarily because what is lost in here is lost for the Republic and those wretched oppressed whom I am deeply proud to know as the ‘risen people’.
There is no sensation today, no novelty that October 27th brought. (The starting date of the original seven man hunger-strike) The usual Screws were not working. The slobbers and would-be despots no doubt will be back again tomorrow, bright and early.
I wrote some more notes to the girls in Armagh today. There is so much I would like to say about them, about their courage, determination and unquenchable spirit of resistance. They are to be what Countess Markievicz, Anne Devlin, Mary Ann McCracken, Marie MacSwiney, Betsy Gray, and those other Irish heroines are to us all. And, of course, I think of Ann Parker, Laura Crawford, Rosemary Bleakeley, and I’m ashamed to say I cannot remember all their sacred names.
Mass was solemn, the lads as ever brilliant. I ate the statutory weekly bit of fruit last night. As fate had it, it was an orange, and the final irony, it was bitter. The food is being left at the door. My portions, as expected, are quite larger than usual, or those which my cell-mate Malachy is getting.
mike in toronto, if lurking how is seamus larsson getting on, my central heating has gone bust down here in darkest cheshire, so me and joan and frankie and benny are all shuffling to get to our small electric fire, its minus 8 here at the moment, but i know you are used to them temperatures in toronto. so ill say hail hail for now.ktf.
Almore
In fairness Tom has said “anytime you want a ticket just ask etc ” but you know yourself its more out of politeness than anything else and I never pushed for one as I am sure he has plenty looking for tickets.
But I will try for you this year…if you think Dublin will get to the final again. !!!
Partick Thistle in Dingwall on Saturday.
I’m supposed to get a flight home from Stavanger tomorrow evening. Todsy the morning flight from here circlrd Aberdeen and came back to Norwsy without landing in snowy ABZ.
A few ifs and buts whether I’ll be watching the new management set up in 2 sleeps time.
WITS: I would say we are hot favorites to reach the final, whether we win it or not is another thing.
G98: You gotta cover all angles. I’m shameless, I know.
Lennybhoy: I’m not surprised at the lack of response. Still hope you get one though.
HAMILTON TIM,
What’s that all about
ALASDAIR MACLEAN on 1ST MARCH 2018 5:43 PM
GlenDalysTonsils,
All Total’s UK fields are named after whiskys.
The latter ones anyway…I don’t think the Beryl was.
They’ve sold that off now anyway.
===============================================================
The Beryl Field was originally operated by Mobil.
HH
“The field was named after Beryl Solomon, the wife of Charles Solomon, who was president of Mobil Europe in 1972 when the field was discovered. The satellite fields in Block 9/13 (Nevis, Ness and Linnhe) are named after Scottish lochs.

All praise to Google. HH

HT posted the extract from Bobby Sands diary from 1st March 1981…start of hunger strike
Bit of a tradition on here
Is Jim Whyte quoting odds for BR to Arsenal and OC to manage his boyhood heroes?
Just picked Mrs Gene up from her foodbank volunteering – incredible how road conditions can change in a couple of hours. Strong winds blowing snow back across previously cleared roads. Of course no one turned up – but got to open just in case.
Anyway home safe.
A wee bit info if anybody can help. Going on a cruise next year out of Liberty New York We have two nights in the Gallavant Hotel, Time Square before it. Any suggestions of a good Irish Pub nearby,with music etc.
NORTH CYPRUS (BAKU NO MORE) BHOY,
You’re correct of course. I’m worried now I’m losing it. I was on the blinking thing in 2001. When it was still Mobil.
Total…..Alwyn.
Citeh tearing through Arsenal.
I can remember walking across the “bridge” to the top of the adjacent riser jacket….
Sublime second goal by Man City.
WHAT IS THE STARS
Bobby Sands stuff a tradition on CQN? Never noticed.
Wenger oot.
Outclassed Arsenal, and I am not sure any team[PSG exempted] could deal with Man City, certainly none in the EPL.
What surprised me is Real Madrid beat PSG in the CL having had a poor season in La Liga
HT
Thanks for posting!
Lest we forget.
Hope you are both well.
Bit of advice needed,should be working in Gilmerton tomorrow,anybody close by that can give me update on weather conditions?
Big Packy
Just in from a case and saw your note. Weather here is good … zero today, but was 14 degrees the other day. Sounds pretty rough for you guys
Seamus Larson is a treat! (Except for the 3 am walks!)… but a small price to pay for such great company. The house feels like a home again
Here is a photo of SL (hopefully this works)

Well it has been
Its obvious commentators & press pick on Venger because he has resisted spending big up until recently but based on pressure from his board. He’s lke most of supporters who think transfer fees & salaries are inflated.
…he’s correct.
But they dont want to hear that.
IMO btw
