We are already at the stage of the season when a return of Christopher Jullien or James Forrest would have little impact on the outcome. It will take a scheduling miracle for the Scottish Cup to reach its latter stages before club football ends to allow players to join international squads ahead of the Euros, so the news that Chris is likely to be in recuperation until the start of next season is no real hardship.
The return of James will be a welcome sight but it is hard to see any big picture relevance, no matter how brilliant he plays. Celtic players get little time to allow limbs to rest and recuperate, this is one such period.
Sunday night in Dingwall is the very last place in Scotland’s tourist trail, apart from the Celtic squad, who will arrive looking for their sixth successive win this month.
Ross County have not played in two weeks since defeat to Dundee United, a period that has seen Hamilton collect 5 points to put the Highlanders bottom of the table. History records that they were the team who stopped Celtic’s run of 12 consecutive domestic trophies, when they eliminated us from the League Cup during the disastrous month of November. We owe them one.

Yes,Tom mcAdam getting booked to halt play and allow McAlpine to reach his goal area.

was at that game too…

Of course Scotland played England twice in 1973.
The second of which was a 1-0 defeat at Wembley with Ally Hunter in goal.
The first, a bizarre fixture, to commemorate the centenary of the SFA, and played in weather conditions not too dissimilar to that in Scotland last week, otherwise known as the St Valentine’s Day massacre, on February 14 of that year, ended a 5-0 victory to England. Bobby Clark was in goal that night. Wasn’t at the game, indeed it should never have been played given the road conditions at that time, but only the SFA could have came up with the idea of playing in the middle of winter. Seem to remember that the game was shown live on television, so we could watch the embarrassment in relative comfort in front of a North Sea gas fire at OldTims. Won’t repeat his language from that night, this is a family site after all….

Yes An Tearmann, as apparently he has to be a troll because he has a stance, which differs to your pro Indy in one.
He is a unionist troll!! the attention seeker has been oxygenated.
worse still a labour and unionist troll
whereby self preservation as a political entity is only viable in a UK context so in context of answering unionist is perfectly viable.
no.it is against the use of faith as he does,weaponizing it with fear and paranoia..
he can haver all he wishes my faith has a 1400 yeat history here,i am comfortable the dynamism and activitism you show in its suoport of anythin to change that would have mine too.
i have no fears in a independent Scotland
none that would be any different to today.
we seen the tory?then labour?then snp? our faith will see out and go on from who ever is next(politically).

St Stivs. Your introduction of the Lairds Loch into the blog brought back memories of years travelling on it with my parents, brother and sisters as we went to Greencastle to spend our summer holidays in my grandmother’s home. Cannot say it was always a happy experience for me as I usually got seasick,
On one occasion, we lost my young brother for over an hour. Searching the boat from top to bottom did not help. Finally someone arrived with the news that he was found fast asleep in the toilet.
I suffered the journeys because I loved my days in Donegal. It gave us a freedom to go to good beaches, climb trees and go watch our uncles getting ready to go out salmon fishing. There was always a large salmon for Sunday dinner during the season. Even days in the hill getting in the turf could be a big adventure,

You and oldtim go back a long way. Didn’t realise that.
garygillespieshamstrings
Just for the record, OldTim goes back a long way,
he even remembers World War II
correct martim wanting to protect catholic schools should not be demonised
but it is ok to weaponise it and peoject the nonsense it is under attack.its not.it is being catholic
it survived and was given the education act 1918.it is enshrined.
i am relaxed Martim1980.

Mogwai the group I am sure they donated football strips to St Rochs primary in the Garngad?

Two more:
1)If Leeds United had forced a play off in the 1970 EC semi final where was the selected venue?
2)1967 EC final numbers on shorts; who are 1967?
Huddersfield take the lead 🤦♂️
I don’t know if this is the right place but talk of the Chancellor this morning brought to mind a pal of mine from years back called Joe Duffy. He played the guitar there in the late 60s, early 70s. If anyone has any knowledge of him, I would be delighted to hear of it. I heard a rumour that he had emigrated to Canada but I was never able to follow that up.
1. Wembley
2. Simpson, Chalmers, Clark, Jinky

That was the famous Derry boat that left the Broomielaw for Shantallow in Derry.
it seemed to be a spot where people were met of the boat,got digs and sorted with a job at many sites around greater Glasgow and so the diaspora grew.
i have memories of really rough seas,so much so people were kneeling,saying their rosary,praying for calm.in high seas.
It was a strong communication line between the 2 communities.’word'(news) from home.
changed days as pre covid with flight i was in home under 3.25 hours.how the older gen would have loved that

Ross County strolled it at Celtic Park, and it was an unfitting end to magnificent period. That game and subsequent collapse was disgracefully filed away and until it’s spectacularly readdressed, we are a club treading water, but this is no revenge mission in Dingwall, the hurt goes much further than the Highlands.
The Celtic Board and PLC concluded sharpish they couldn’t ‘fix ‘ the loss of ten anytime soon, and knew fully well that Neil Lennon would be unlikely to raise the sunken ship that was holed under the water line long before Dubai saw Celtic’s season finally break up, on the sea bed. What they decided to do was cache and shield themselves behind fences and barriers and with multiple unfolding controversies, they let Neil Lennon answer failure on every front, not just football.
Every subsequent public appearance is filled with angst and mini mystery, pre contracts, transfers, covid, next season, to the extent the supporters are merely Celtic mushrooms, fed shyte and kept in the dark. The latest Scottish Government covid 19 capitulation to those that control the Scotland narrative is just the latest in a litany, a guilty 5, of whom nobody gives a damn, especially if its Neil Lennon looking for some form of equilibrium. Nobody cares what team he selects for Celtic let alone what he thinks about Celtic being cheated differently.
Despicable Celtic FC boardroom tactical cowardice, throws Lennon piece by piece to the lions, I hope we get the head of Barabbas ( aka Bankier ) as well, come the clear-out, Dominic McKay needs guided by someone with real Celtic reverie, befitting of the next era.
Play the Bhoys CSC
Ross County 0 Celtic 5

——————————-
did the boat, or any other boats leave from the port and greenock, any memories of this ?
this is what satarted the hoose discussion, mother in law saying she was on the boat from the port, and the coos got offloaded around newark castle , any ideas ?
GENE
I watched Maguire yesterday, he was brilliant in beating Sean Murphy.
Today, in the seventh frame his highest break is 33.
Something is not right, imo.
Ah well, away tae make a curry.
Used to win regularly, on snooker games involving a very prominent Scottish player many years ago…

JHB I am far from being a supporter of the SNP but I do not like the idea of schools based on religion.
*and the reason we have Catholic schools is the indigenous Scots didnae want their weans mixing with the offspring of the tottie howkers.

atumbled across this pic within that derry paper.
1980s ONeill and McIlroy.
when catholics played for the North did they get supported by either community ?
I cant remeber of Anton getting a hard time, maybe he did in his own area, any ideas ?
obviously know of Neils bad times, but did any of the others get the treatment or not ?
Watching Burnley v West Brom. Apart from West Brom’s away strip, there is nothing worth watching. Dire stuff and, I’m sure, both with many millions in the bank or on the field.
I’m watching the snooker.
