I’ve loved the coverage Jack Hendry and Kris Ajer received for their international appearances over the break. The situation in central defence is fluid, with Jozo Simunovic, Dedryck Boyata and (on loan) Erik Sviatchenko each with questions to answer, Jack and Kris have to be considered as having an equal chance of starting the Scottish Cup semi-final.
The thing I’m most looking forward to is seeing Marvin Compper fully fit. There can be no doubt that Brendan sees Marvin as a crucial element in developing younger players around him, in particular with an eye on the Champions League qualifiers.
Saturday’s home game against Ross County is a perfect opportunity to give Marvin a start, while resting one of the international travellers. Let’s hope he plays.

BIG PACKY on 29TH MARCH 2018 9:09 PM
ZIGGYDOC1, im so envious of you, never seen them live but got all the albums.hh
______________________
Saw them with Ian Gillan and later David Coverdale. If course, Gillan is the Deep Purple singer, albeit Rod Evans was the first vocalist. He was on their first album, Book of Taliesyn. In same era, I’m not a big Queen fan but I saw them as a support act for Mott the Hoople. The good old days :)
Watchin the Blackburn game….have they got rid of the space behind the touchline where they all marched along when were pumpin them :)

Ziggy, Did you like Bowie in the early 70s

Strangely enough, yes. Been to quite a few concerts including the Ziggy/Aladdin Sane tour (the day I left school in 1973).

Today I changed 22 Halogen bulbs in my new house with 22 LED bulbs, that is 980W of power with 110W of power and the LED’s are just as bright. It cost me £66. I’m presently in the pub spending my anticipated electricity savings ?

I’m doing fine mhate especially with this new hip, hope yours works out as well as mine. Think we might have a wee case for suing royal mail, all that jumping in and out of vans for years lol
Very good article about Scotland in ’78

That’s good mate.
I had a wee scare on Monday I heard a pop in my leg, anyway went to hospital yesterday and after an X-ray they said it was probably a muscle or ligament popping around the joint. So I have some pain just now but not much.
How long after operation were you back to normal.
D :)
D66 that’s 6 weeks for me and apart from that new pain it’s going well.
Although I went out to get the Mrs there and I was in quite a bit of pain.(driving)

Welcome aboard Derek. Sorry to hear you and Davie are suffering. Give me a tap when you sue the PO. God bless you big red.

I was listening to Radio Clyde at 11AM today.
During the news they had this sports item. This, by the way, was the TOP sports story of the day!
And in sport, Celtic MAY be heading for 7 in a row…..
(I feel a “but” coming up here)
BUT the gap between the OLD FIRM…..
(Sigh!)
……is definitely closing according to ex-Rangers manager Ally McOist.
“That’s absolutely true, there’s no doubt about it. Even Brendan would concede that. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s still a bit of a gap but it’s nowhere…..
(Radio turned aff!)
I turned to my wife and said “Well, they got one thing right. Ally McOist is definitely the ex-manager of Rangers”.
I wonder if they would still have led with that if the three imminent announcements about King, UEFA and EBT’ s had been released?
Yeah, I think so too!
Gooooooood Evening CQN
Thank God, getting nearer to Celtic on a Saturday and a 3 o’clock kick off :-))
Big Packy – wee Hector not getting a hip replacement just now, Vet wanting another few months to assess, and see if he grows stronger around his hips as he matures ( he is only 15 month)

My 13th birthday was at the first game in Argentina. I got my best present ever. The new boxed full Umbro Scotland kit. My first official strip. Umbro diamonds of white down the navy sleeve. Wi an official stitched badge.
I was on a high for us to win the world cup. Sadly it lasted a week.
As difficult as it is to watch Steve Smith’s mea culpa interview tonight he is the personification of a nation ill at ease with itself after its favourite team was found guilty of cheating. Compare the Australians reaction to being caught cheating at their national sport to the reaction in Scotland where the entire establishment went out of its way to do everything in its power to deny it ever happened. Hh
DAVID66
The naivety of youth,eh? I was 14,had my fingers crossed until I went to Hampden for the England game. Suddenly I wasn’t so hopeful.
His retelling of the Holland game,in particular,took me back.
DD
You remember going out to play a game of World Cup

DELANEYS DUNKY on 29TH MARCH 2018 10:09 PM
Cheers mhate, lurked on here for a very long time and have always enjoyed your posts, so happy to see you back here after recent events, you are some ghuy, always thought I knew who you were
Hail Hail
DELANEYS DUNKY, isnt it strange how we both supported scotland as kids, now we would not watch them if playing in our back yard. ftsfa.hh.

To paraphrase his press appearance,if you’re gonna do something that might not look good,that you know is wrong,make sure there are no cameras about.
Like on a lot of other occasions,the tears are from being caught,not for the initial act.

Good lad,and replied

Every EBT tax cheat you see employed on tv. Ferguson, Dodds, Thomson and McCann will be bubbling when their medals and titles get stripped.
All we want is justice!

12,13, and 14 years of age back in 78… Not a care in the world except football and well maybe birds and just starting out on the drink…. Ahh the days

Ha ha, couldn’t play it as well as u mhate, just enjoy watching the beloved hoops now

Hello again all you young rebels.
TONYROME
Never seen the names, think we got distracted by drunk Ozzies
wanting to hug him in his hoops top.
He’ll be in Adelaid today i think so maybe expect a post from there
when he goes ashore.
H.H Mick
BMCUWP Why would the best cricket team in the world need to cheat ? Why did the oldco cheat even when it already had every advantage going its favour ? The answer in both cases imo is entitlement and arrogance, and a belief their respective establishments would always protect them. Hh
