Every Celtic fan will be delighted Fraser Forster was included in the England World Cup squad. Fraser joined Celtic on loan four years ago, becoming a permanent member of staff in 2012. His transformation over that period has been remarkable, which is no fluke.
He is the most dedicated footballer at the club. First in each morning, around 2.5 hours before official start time, he’s also last out of Lennoxtown almost every day. He is possibly the most complete 365-day-a-year athlete we’ve ever had. This is a player who has set high personal achievement goals and has allowed no distractions to get in his way.
Enormous credit also has to go to the man who has guided him through his meteoric rise in recent seasons, goalkeeper coach Stevie Woods. Without the focus, technical development and remedial work Stevie has added to Fraser’s development we would not have nearly as effective a goalkeeper between the sticks.
It is never good to see anyone lose their job but surely the decision for Hearts to sack Gary Locke was one of the easiest to come out of Anne Budge’s 120 minute review (which was more productive than one 120 day review). Hearts early and late season form, where they comfortably recorded victories against most of their peer group, told a tale of what happened for six months of the season, when the team failed to show up.
Locke had the resources to keep his team in the league this season but found every excuse available to ensure they finished bottom.
I’m less sure Danny Lennon deserved to be hooked. The gap between St Mirren’s 8th placed finish with 39 points and Hibs on 35 points is narrow, but when he needed to dig deep, Lennon was not found wanting. St Mirren might not be so fortunate with their next guy.

Goodnight and God bless Timland.

A trite phrase indeed, but results do show that Catholic schools are doing much better than non denominational schools in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
I have no idea of the figures on Anglican, Jewish, Hindu, Moslem or Buddhist faith principles.

Respect mate….
I did Physics and Mathematics to maybe not as high a level as your learned self,and know that in subjective arguments / debates there is a possibility of different right / wrong……black/ white.
In objective arguments/debates there is no such possibility ………unless you talk to my number 2 daughter’s Philosophy A Level teacher.
There are good teachers and bad parents ……Bad teachers and good parents.
Regardless of faith…
smashingmilkbottles- i’ve posted before saying Scottish Football could do worse than have Barry Hearn in charge,instead of the 3 Stooges .Embdae who can get 500,000 people watching live fishing on Sky is a genius.The SPFL still doesn’t have a sponsor,and no TV deal for the play offs,amateurs.HH
Looks like Scott cuthbert, formerly of oor young guns is heading to Wemberlee.

Can I just thank everyone who read Mary’s Blog yesterday about ME Awareness day.
31003,
Said it before, most of the blow hards on here probably don’t get much of an audience to air their garbage in real life.
Another massive pitch invasion

Agreed.
However, it wasn’t that part of your original post I was correcting.
HMiE statistics and reviews of Catholic schools in Scotland continually highlight achievement and ethos.
Far too much animosity on here at times. Live and let live. Opinions, we all have different ones, it’s normal.
Take care Timdom aff oot!

What a wonderful woman and what a life she has to lead. God give her strength.

Hamiltontim….
I can’t imagine HMiE review is without a political slant?
I don’t know this, but can’t imagine it will be.
It has her Majesty as the Prefix…..I know what that meant when I lived in Scotland,mate.
Same as you……not up for a fight……your opinions sound highly intelligent and well researched at times……Sometimes I disagree with them mate…..that’s all!!
Ernie,
How so?
Who says we take ourselves too serious on here
Have you seen my crap jokes ?
“It has her Majesty as the Prefix”
That alone gives it a serious slant ryecatcher.

You’ve lost me. In what way would a prefix of ‘Her Majesty’ have a bearing on the positive analysis of Catholic education in Scotland?

Only in Christmas crackers….
Billy bhoy earlier on this site you equated those who would vote no with the BNP. Your mask has not so much slipped but fallen off to show the ugly nazi racist propagandist that you are your cyber Nat pals are.
We will not be bullied into independence by you and your fascist ilk. I am not in the least bit bothered about being called a unionist in this context. But I know your pathetic game. You are playing bot and orange and a green card in your bid to divide and conquer.
You offer nothing but made up statistics and lies about polls.
You are a cyber Nat and a scottish facist and whether it is comparing no voters to racists (a buzz are twist of logic even for Nats) or it is looking forward to ethnic cleansing (which you deny but are on record on this site as looking forward to it) your are utterly discredited.
Take your extreme nationalism and stick it. You aren’t fit to lace the boots of honest independence supporters on this site or across the country.
Take your propaganda and peddle it elsewhere.

Wow! I got a fright there. Thought you were claiming to live in Scotland, then I read the context.

Brth,
I’m guessing it’s a gag about the initials Myalgic Encephalopathy.
Would there be any point having Richard Gordon on here ?
He would inevitably get asked about how he viewed the liquidation of raingers and if he thought they had died. Not wanting his house windows moved inwards and assaulted in the street like Jim Spence he would have to show that question a straight bat.
When’s he coming on ?
Re: Education
There was a detailed report on educational attainment in England a couple of years back and I for one found the results a bit surprising.
Top of the tree was Indian, followed closely by Jewish. Irish was third.
Indigenous English was 16th and at the very bottom was West Indian.
What I took from the report was faith schools definitely provided the best education.

Ernie thinks ME is a joke.
Pathetic.
Hamiltontim……
There is something of an oxymoron with Her Majesty and her patronisation of Roman Catholic education in Scotland…Maybe not so in Hannover where she might feel a better affinity.
I’m off to Hannover in the morning mate…..early flight……we will debate the merits of Faith education soon hopefully…..
Nite nite and Hail Hail

It’s the way I tell em
Burghbhoy, yes thats my cousins. I’ve not seen them for almost 20 years and was out of the country when my uncle Billy died. Last time we got together was another family funeral. That was a blast and it was great to see them all. My older brother is in touch with some of the bhoys on facebook. Im not sure where they all live these days. Small world.
HH bruv
Ha ha
Sorry I didn’t get the joke — thick as two lavvy doors!
I don’t think Ernie was laughing at M.E. at all though.
Richie,
Did you get an email ? Seems to have not reached some
Hail Hail
