The Barton issue: it seems bizarre to suspend a player for four weeks after an incident, more so to extend that by a further week immediately before a clear-the-air meeting, but it’s not.
This has got nothing to do with the player. Whatever he did with a team-mate in the aftermath of our 5-1 win a month ago has nothing to do with his continuing suspension. Nor is the player’s subsequent charge for gambling on football.
I’m pretty sure it’s not even about money, or the player’s lack of ability. This is about the manager and his board. Who authorised his signing in the summer and on what basis was he employed? Warburton has played his hand by passing the issue up to his board. The board can try to impose the player on the manager, again, or they can find the money to make the problem go away.
Or maybe the manager will go instead.

EMERALDBEE,
Will any other tree’s be for sale at your branch office ?
Maybe you should have twigged that a cqnr would have a bit of fun with your kind offer ?
Big Jimmy, I wood have if I was a sucker, but I went out on a limb there. Too much of this and I’ll be sycamore than usual, but I really need to get back to the garden to spruce it up a bit as it’s a bit of a jungle out there. Mind you it’s a poplar pastime.
Green piñata: Yew and me both. Having a beech of a day.

Good to see Andy Murray doing well, good to hear that Barton ‘ s Travelling Funfair is settling down in Bellahouston Park for a few weeks…..roll up, roll up for the show of the season.
Monsieur Barton has pretty deep pockets and hates the Hun, this could be fun.

There’s an awful lot to do in Rome, both of the religious and secular variety so I’d be surprised if they needed to go out of town for anything.

Tell them to do the Segway tour whilst in Rome, myself and my kids loved it.
As for the trains, they’re first class and high speed, the underground system puts ours to shame…one every two minutes.
Best holiday ever for me. HH

Ps…My bhoy is going over next month to see the Italian girl he met there as they kept in contact.
To stay with family that is.
I can imagine it like a scene from the godfather with chaperones when they go out.:)))
Some one mentioned the Racing club game here are the words of a wee song about the third game
1 Way down in Uruguay in the land of sun
a football game was to be seen
between the Glasgow Celtic the champions
of Europe and Racing from Argentine
now everyone came to the land of sun
a football feast just to see
There were tv cameras from every nation
but none from the BBC.
CHORUS
Now its one, two and then kick,
it was the craziest game ever seen ,
the day the Glasgow Celtic the champions of Europe
met Racing from Argentine.
2 Now the referee he came from Paraguay
a South American state
and although the Glasgow Celtic didn,t think much of him
Racing thought he was great
because he sent off Jimmy Johnstone, Bobby Lennox too
he ordered off Big Yogi Bear as well
But when he sent of our Bertie and told him he was dirty
Bertie told him to go to hell.
Chorus
3 Well you may have heard or even read somewhere
that a Racing Player was attacked
by that gentle giant known as our Tommy Gemmell
Glasgow Celtics left back
well I asked Big Tam who,s as gentle as a lamb
if there was anything that he would like to say
he said ” I saw it on tv and although it looks like me
I swear it was Danny Kaye”
Chorus
4 Well its a sad reflection on a game of football
when a team like Racing win a cup
but the next time we meet them
were surely gonna beat them
for the Celtic will be toughened up
Because I heard today down paradise way
Mr Stein,s not gonna let it get him down
He said ” to make my Celtic super I will sign Henry Cooper
and I will try to sign Walter McGowan.
Chorus
Gerry, sorry I never replied sooner to your post in the last thread about the Press Bar.
It is in the process or has been sold to a property developer so wont be a pub for much longer.
Different member of McEntee family owned it for years but since the Herald and Times offices in Albion Street closed and moved up to the top of Renfield Street, its not as well frequented as it was.
My pre match pint stopped when I got junior a season ticket for Celtic Park. It was a worthwhile sacrifice, if that’s the right phrase, to make.
Got talking to a hun I used to work beside earlier today .
“What did you think of the Scotland game last night Willie?” says I .
“Celtic players never try in a blue jersey” says Willie.
Astounded of forehead doesn’t get close .

Had a weeks holiday in Rome in 2010,stayed in small hotel near a metro
station,every site (Forum,Palatine hill,coloseum etc,) walkable or short journey from subway.
One of my fave holidays ever, topped off by visit to Vatican museum , Sistine chapel
and Saint Peter’s.
VP…
Did the same mate, reckon I’ll go back next year with my Welsh flame, unless my kids hold me to Canada, which is also on my bucket list. HH

I would usually wait until the end of the week before offering my team selection but the International Break needs to be purged from my mind. So:
Gordon
Gamboa ( Mikael rested rather than dropped), Toure Simunovic Tierney
Biton
Forrest Brown Sinclair
Rogic
Dembele or Griffiths.

Thanks…..HH
