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.

James McClean has frustrated me all night and now he’s scored two. Shows how much I know about football. :-))
3-2 Italy
Tontine Tim, I only found out what parts of Ireland my grandparents came from about twenty years ago when one of my mum’s brothers was visting us . He was living in Stevenage at the time.
He filled me in on my grandparents’ origins .
I’m hoping to go to Ireland in the future to do some family tree stuff . Gearoid has very kindly offered to help me with this.

The Tim Reaper, Wes Hoolahan used to play for Livingstone then moved to Blackpool then onto Norwich.
Its a pity we never went for him when he was at Livingstone or Blackpool or maybe we did and no deal was agreed.

Aye wee Jimmy’s wife is something else ,what a woman ! Wee Bertie and Big Tommy etc. were really hurting when reminiscing about Jinky !
Well done Ireland.Moldovans were a bit tasty in the tackle.

Silly me that was the one i meant to post.
Hail Hail
Sky advertising these games as European Qualifiers, World Cup Qualifiers is it not?
Gordybhoy64: international footie nowadays is a very low standard, imho. If I didn’t support Ireland I wouldn’t have continued to watch that match.

Just thought it was a bit mad when my sister mentioned your old pre-match boozer ……
It has been a long weekend but most enjoyable dreading the office the morra, the time police haven’t touched me in 4 weeks so I fear the worst, I was at a christening today (mixed family) as it is theses days, 2 sister-in-laws who I get on well with but both stuck in the past and are in the OO, when the priest turned to everybody at the end of the Christening and announced “let’s welcome a brand new catholic to the world” their faces were amazing, I still question my own faith daily but no hatred in this household :-)
Cqn good night & God bless

Is there such a thing as impartial media?
The cynic in me suggests that it may be deliberate.
The Vietnam war taught the Americans how important media control was.
The Brits have a long history of distortion of facts due to colonialism.
They taught the world.

And you obviously learned well.

My son told me they mean the European Qualifiers section for the World Cup.
These International matches are turgid fare.
Canny wait for the ‘Well match on Saturday.
Park Road 67, of the documentaries made about Jimmy, the latest one is the best.
My reasoning for that is this one is more focused on his family and their feelings towards him and how the wee man’s illnesses affected him, Agnes and his family.
Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on 9th October 2016 9:04 pm
Former rangers player , George Young was there , who was given a great reception . It turned out he was invited to Sally’s dinner but thought that highly of Sean , he went to his tribute dinner.
*I have never heard a bad word about big Corky fae oulder Tims. He wasn’t yer typical hun. His career was on the wane but got extended when woodburn was sine died. They had a hard time replacing him until mckinnon broke through.

I loved Jinky’s legacy, his three children. Their souls shone when they spoke of their father.
Saint Agnes was also wonderful. :)

I was talking to a few much older Celtic fans than me today and they are all looking forward to our next game, never since MON, I have never known punters looking forward to our next game……only typing about the people who I am speaking too….

The Jinky programme was a hard watch, his son was obviously pretty devastated, his wife was a typical mum, BUT it was pretty dam amazing, the wee man might have been a player but his wife was the real star.. Kicking a ball or keeping your family together ?
Agnes was the star

No point in elaborating on the bleeding obvious.
Tontine Tim, when you mentioned MacKinnon at first I thought you meant effen nutter (copyright the late Brian Whittaker) , Davie MacKinnon but then remembered Ronnie MacKinnon
I was privileged to meet Sean Fallon a number of times, the last outside Celtic Park the Sunday before Tommy’s funeral. I could understand why Sean was held in such high regard by all who knew him.
In the footage of our 2 1 win against what was Rangers. in November 1983, Davie MacKinnon grabbed Brian Whittaker at one point to which Brian shouted you’re an effen nutter pal. You can lip read his comment clearly .

I offered a spare for Saturday on here, and had many requests for the ticket.
Last year Motherwell at home, no one would have been interested.
That offer still open Dallas. Whenever, whatever required.
Some talk on Willie Henderson. I had mentioned on here before that I used to travel to the away matches with St Mary’s Coatbridge. They left from Willie Hendersons bar. Coming from the black North I was amazed at a CSC connection with a bar that was owned by an ex player from Rangers as they were then.
Have to say he was an absolute gentleman.

Treck even, no offence Gerry, just banter. HH

One persons view.
Grist to your mill.
Ever thought of looking at facts rather than indulging in the nursing of your particular ideology.

Gerry, I’m glad someone listens to the mince I spout.
The Press Bar is one of the last proper pubs in the town.
The twice I shared a taxi with the present landlord to Celtic Park , we lost so I never took up his offer of sharing a taxi to a game after that.

People who attribute actions to others they nothing about are silly.
Irony is not your strong point.

Davie McKinnon became a rep for a booze company. I met him often in my uncle’s pub.
Great guy and great source of tickets for a while. I got the impression he was more of a Jag than a hun.

Awesome.
Thanks.

Gearoid , thank you.
As I posted before, once my money drains , sorry Cherubs , are a bit older , I will be making a trip over to the six counties.
The only time I’ve been over before was tavelling from Larne to Belfast on my way to Dublin for the Shamrock Rovers game.

Willie Henderson was a part owner of the Barneyard in Coatbridge (with Alfie Conn) a good friend of mine ran the St Mary’s CSC and in that neck of the woods Lennybhoy will know a few
