Jullien, Forrest and recuperation periods

563

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.

  1. GENE-he had went from a Granada 2.8 Ghia i x to a Audi 100cd.😉

     

    So you might be right but I thought it was a bit more sporty looking.

     

    Everyone knew I was driving ‘yer dads motor’ with the first 2😉

  2. Watching the Wolves Leeds game

     

     

    Rafhinia is playing in a midfield four for Leeds

     

     

    Does that make him a quad Rafhinia?

  3. Thanks Hot Smoked.

     

    I’ll need to dig deep now for the hat-trick.

     

     

    Suggestion for our host.

     

    This might have been asked before, not sure.

     

    Can we have those little thumbs up /thumbs down buttons, so that we can express our feelings towards posts.

     

    That would give an obvious visual, regarding what was liked or not on the site.

     

     

    Although, I can see that being subject to much ‘critical review’.

     

     

    Anyways,

     

    Hail Hail

  4. If you don’t like a poster, scroll by.

     

     

    If the poster gets loads of “thumbs down” he or she may stop posting.

     

     

    Are you some kind of elitist?

     

     

    Or a nazi?

  5. Loads of posters post unintersting or shite posts.

     

     

    Why should they be openly judged?

     

     

    You are an evil person.

  6. 31003-have to agree with you on the golf shots into the trees.

     

    Watching it now and it looks a gorgeous golf course 🏌🏻

  7. FAIRHILL BHOY

     

     

    Had a couple of poor days, chilled, flu like symptoms and headaches, which I never had before.

     

     

    Fine now though!

     

     

    Thanks for asking!

  8. Dingwall – the very last place in Scotland’s tourist trail. What is that supposed to mean?

     

    From someone who lives north of Dingwall…..

  9. The only time I get a headache is if I drink too much 10 year old Jura a nd Guinness.

     

     

    An otherwise nice combination.

     

     

    Good night all good Tims.

     

     

    God knows how I’m going to stay awake on Sunday!

     

     

    C’MON THE CELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hot Smoked,

     

     

    Old English was our bevvy before the game.Bottle between 3 of us,and a can of Tennant’s,to wash it down.One that everyone has missed out,Barchester,came in ribbed sorta bottle.Was 10 Bob cheap then for a bottle of wine.Not so sure,it was only around 1\6d for a pint.

     

    ******^

     

    Ah, memoirs from my Da’s pub.

     

    Eldorado and Lanliq ( Lang’s Liqueur if you don’t mind) we’re fortified wines from South Africa. 365 (Lucky Numbers) was more of a Glasgow thing. They were the drink of choice, and necessity from Monday to Thursday then back on the whisky on Friday and Saturday. A Wee Fowler’s was affectionately known as a Charlie Tully as apart from the obvious it had some kick to it. My first job in the pub was as a cellar man ( boy) as there was a lot of behind the scenes work to do. The first pint I poured was a pint of light at 1/5d. A pint of heavy was 1/10d and that new fangled stuff, Tennents lager was 2/- and if you wanted lime in it it cost you thruppence. No one over the age of 21 drank lager.

     

    That would be when I was 15 – 1966. I only had the occasional shift behind the bar at 15 as I didn’t look the part. Both my older brothers looked 18 when they were 12!

  11. Jeeeeez.

     

    I’m now an elitist evil nazi.

     

     

    Is there an emoji for that?

     

     

    Hail Hail

     

     

    (or, tongue planted firnly in cheek)

     

    Heil Heil

  12. I bought my first pint at age 13.

     

    I kid you not. Dukes Tankard pub, corner of John Knox st and Drygate.

     

    I was what was known as a “hairy arsed youth”

     

    It was when sideburns were all the rage and at that age I could grow them.

     

    Anyway, as one pal stood outside on his “scooter”, and the other pal stood with a ball under his arm, sookin a gobstopper, I lost my cherry with a pint of lager. Granted, the youthful barman “eyed” me for 5 minutes before relenting. On my exit my pals asked, “ Wiz it good? Ur ye drunk?”

     

    “Naw and naw” was my answer

    Would you believe a glass or two of 10 year old Jura and a pint of Guinness is exactly what I am drinking at this moment in time. Cheers

    I suppose you could always give Philbhoy the thumbs down

     

    In a Pontius Pilate sort of way….
