If an invincible season in the league is to be completed, we now know it will happen at Celtic Park on Sunday, 21 May, against Hearts. While getting over the line is always the most difficult part of a challenge, away games at Pittodrie, where we play nearest challengers Aberdeen, on Friday 12 May, and Ibrox, where we play Newco on 29 April, will present the most significant challenges to our attempts to complete the season undefeated.
There is also the non-trivial matter of an away derby match against our oldest Glasgow rivals, Partick Thistle, on 18 May. Thistle are a tidy team, currently on excellent form. This is exactly the kind of game that has a tendency of stopping history in its tracks. We’ve work to do at Dingwall on Sunday before any of this, of course.
The league split was conceived to accommodate competing needs for more teams in the top flight, but fewer games. This season it has also given us some really attractive looking games after the main issue was settled.
I know one or two who would like future fixtures to be arranged to avoid the title being decided during Lent. I’m not going to say this will be easy to achieve, but it could easily be added to the agenda at next monthly conclave between the SFA, the Scottish Premiership and the Vatican.

“EYES IN THE BACK OF HEAD REF GETS HAMPDEN WHISTLE!”
Brilliant lol.
HH.
Morning all, horrible weather at the moment but there are greater things to complain about as it won’t change anyway.
Just finished the 5k at the gym powered by my usual musical madness. I always knew Hell’s Bells had a great intro but I really appreciate the old school rockn roll finish to that song also
Right, it’s more to do today although looks like some gardening will be postponed.
Take care everyone. HH

Shockingly poor post bringing Celtic and CQN into disrepute with all that political and revolutionary nonsense.
Disappointed!
But… You know I’m only winding you up. :-@)))

Versione in inglese tratta da Wikipedia:
La presente versione mostrava in pieno l’equivoco traduttorio della vila morena; qui addirittura era reso con brunette town, cosa che ci aveva comunque lasciato perplessi in quanto brunette è un aggettivo usualmente riferito ai capelli femminili. Abbiamo effettuato quindi le opportune correzioni.

Thanks for that post and the little history lesson.
It’d be a nice touch for you guys to have a few red carnations to give to your hosts as a wee thanks.

Plenty of bad stuff going on, but here’s a woman trying to give hope to millions, and being an inspiration at the same time.
If you read the article, keep going right to the end.
The last 2 sentences are worth waiting for.

Gary Ralston ” ACE Reporter of the Daily Rectum” writes today…
“Sky SNUB Rangers v Aberdeen in favour of Celtic v Partick”.
He goes onto to write, that Sky have snubbed ” The BATTLE” for 2nd place ???????????
I’ve just emailed the Rectum, to ask ” Do they now have a Policy to ensure that Sevco games are on tv , and provide Sevco with TV Money ” ?
I have also asked ” When writing about being “Snubbed”, why have the Rectum continually “SNUBBED” the corruption within The SFA in relation to Resolution 12″ ?
i will not be holding my breath for a response.

Great post about an inspirational woman.
Do you know about the heart disease research that goes on in Scotland year in year out and about the groundbreaking results that are achieved via funding from The British Heart Foundation who refuse to accept a penny from the pharmaceutical companies or from Government?
Until fairly recently I knew about none of this nor that heart disease is Scotland’s biggest killer by far with 1300 people a month dying from the disease despite the huge advances of the last 30 years.
Kinda gobsmacked to be honest.
BEATBHOY
Incredible article,grateful thanks.
Seems strange that Big Pharma is wasting billions going for the blockbuster while this woman’s widely-published research has been ignored.
I wish her every success over those leeches.

14st 8lbs this morning so a pound down on last week. (I think)
10 mile walk today so hopefully burn a few calories before a wee family party tomorrow.
Saving the BRTH Lisboa story for the poolside lounger.
Two beautiful Emerald green and white parasols just been erected on the beach.
Getting fit for Lisboa training entering it’s penultimate day. It has been both enjoyable and productive. I got to say though, what with the great weather, lengthy beachside promenades, up and down hills, wee outdoor gyms and suchlike, you’d need to try really hard to be unfit here.
No way I’d be an ancient overweight auld git if I lived here.

In the spirit of Easter, I thought I would look up the NHS web site to see if I could help Glibby. Pass this advice on in the unlikely event that you actually see him…
Treating frozen shoulder
Treatment for a frozen shoulder will vary, depending on the stage of the condition and the severity of your pain and stiffness.
A frozen shoulder may get better over time without treatment, but recovery is often slow and can take at least 18 to 24 months. In some people, the condition may not improve for five years or more.
A number of different treatments can be used to treat frozen shoulder, although it’s uncertain how effective they are and which is best.
The treatments described below can help reduce shoulder pain and keep the joint mobile while the shoulder heals.
Early stage treatments
The first stage of a frozen shoulder is the most painful. Therefore, treatment is mainly focused on relieving the financial pain.
During this stage, your GP may recommend avoiding movements that make the pain worse, such as stretching your finances. However, you shouldn’t stop moving your dodgy money around altogether.

Thanks for the link to the article, stunning research work. It does not surprise me at all the attitude to financial profit. I have been working for a Swedish company for 7 months now and in my visits to the country and dealings with the people , they have a very positive attitude to the well being of everyone.
They do not just pay lip service to the healthy mind, healthy body mind-set. Employers actively encourage wellness and community involvement.
People are very aware of environmental impact and it embarrasses me when people I speak to are more aware of energy policies of the UK government than I am.
Just my tuppence worth.

You should have asked him where is the race for second place?

The PFA Scotland manager of the year award went to Mark Warburton, who won the Championship with Rangers, instead of Celtic’s Scottish title winning Ronnie Deila in 2016.
Gordon Strachan was the last Celtic manager to win the award, in 2009, despite the Glasgow outfit having now won six titles in a row.
Says it all really.The people who gave the award to warburton now slaughtering him at every turn.Wait till his court case comes up.
Walk the streets in Sicily and Southern Italy and you are highly likely to see this written on a wall –
LA MAFIA E UNA MONTAGNA DI MERDA .
Highly accurate . Line taken from a dialogue in the best movie re the banal evil of that lot —
I Cento Passi –( The Hundred Steps )- based on a true story . Very good soundtrack . Highly recommended .
Just back from the walk on the beach.One of the more salubrious bars has got all its new umbrellas and cushions in for the summer.I kid you not,Green and white Hoops on the umbrellas,and gold cushions for the beds.
Oooft.Probably a good thing,I have never seen a Hun in this vicinity.
Looks fantastic.
Naaaa, not for me, CC ended up where he is right now all because of CC no one else to blame but himself, could have been a legend, but in my opinion thought he was bigger than the jersey, wish him and his family all the best of luck on they’r travels.

A comedy !! . People Q’d up to see it in the likes of Palermo / Catania / Napoli / Lecce / Bari / Reggio Calabria ..It got a huge audience share when it was shown on Cooncil tele . It was then turned into a hugely successful comedic soap opera
The Producer / The Director / The Writer / The Leading Man received death threats . . The Masonic / Fascistic ” Men of Honour ” really didn’t like being laughed at .

Humour is like every other weapon. Deadly when brandished by an expert.
From E-Tims Diary
Back at the ranch, and whilst its not being spoken of too loudly up there, down here in Stoke, I bumped into a drunk fellow at a bar, who couldn’t wait to tell me that one of the players over at the Bet 365 stadium was all for joining Celtic last January, and when he couldn’t, he sulked enough to be sent out on loan, where he has continued to sulk until he gets his own way.
We’ve mentioned Bojan Krkic before, and we’re now mentioning it again, now that we have verification from our usual quality source.
Could he be the one that Brendan was referring to when he said he didn’t get everyone he wanted ? Has the recent news that Rodgers has a warchest shown us that he has won his battle to get who he wants ?
South of Tunis , great message about the mafia and their nastiness in the grafitti message.
No wonder people descibe them as s@@@e I after what Toto Riina and his Corleonesi mob got up to for so long and their predecessors for hundreds of years .
Etims twitter has a tweet about the history of ska and how it possibly was started in Tennesee by a chap called Rosco Gordon. Its quite a good read.
GARY67
Not sure Bojan has the work ethic BR looks for-but what a player when he is on song.
Maybe ideal for managing him to his potential,at last.
