There are truisms in life. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, night follows day and Hibernian Football Club will not win the Scottish Cup. However, a failure to lift the trophy since Orville said to Wilbur, ‘I bet this thing gets off the ground’, does not guarantee subsequent failures. Hibs have already beaten Celtic this season and are perfectly capable of doing so again on Sunday.
Before this season Kilmarnock hadn’t won at Celtic Park since 1955, but it happened. St Johnstone, Motherwell, St Mirren, Inverness and Ross County beat us too. All these defeats were against the odds; no more so than Hibs are on Sunday.
Celtic need to get in touch with how they felt after their League Cup semi-final defeat to St Mirren, a day of so much regret. The 90 minutes will pass quickly, there’s no point leaving something in your locker for next week. Let’s get off to a flier.
Many thanks for sending over your Seville photographs, we are planning to pull photos and your comments on the event together into a special publication. If you have any more please send them in, celticquicknews@gmail.com.
Willie Wallace will be signing copies of his book at Waterstones on Sauchiehall St between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday, 25th May. Bet he knows what he was doing that very afternoon 46 years earlier. Get along to see him or order your own signed copy below. This is going to be a great weekend.

When it was first transmitted yesterday, I watched it with Mrs TET, and it just didn’t ring true.
The total lack of blood on the alleged attacker for a start, apart from the uniform red hands [see what I did there]
Mrs TET would know a thing or two about what happens when someone is violently stabbed, or machetied, and the lack of blood is a clue, no, or did he clean his clothes for the camera.
And if I am to believe they dragged the hacked to death body into the middle of the road, why no blood on the road, not a single drop.
I’m no saying it didn’t happen, but I don’t believe it happened the way they are telling us it happened.

I can believe it. Mind the same after the Glasgow Airport attack six years ago. Most people are okay but there is some real scum out there.

Looking forward to next Friday. Can’t wait for a good gargle.

I too am sure that just about everyone who posts on here were appalled at the events in Woolwich, maybe we are all becoming immune to such brutality which is a sad reflection of our society.
Your statement ” Evil flourishes in an environment of silence” is correct and should serve as a reminder of yes it can happen here; remember Glasgow Airport.
Ernie Lynch @ 21.07. I normally have the greatest respect for your posts, but sorry this attack was cowardly. This was a planned attack on a unsuspecting person using knives, machetes and guns while outnumbering him two to one. Fanatical yes, drug fuelled, maybe but certainly not brave.
On a brighter note, really looking forward to the cup final. Is it just me or has this final generated much more importance, expectation and interest.
After the celebrations ( hopefully, although taking nothing for granted ) good luck to all taking part in the Caritas award cermony on the 2nd June in the Clyde Auditorium. A capacity 3000 people are expected in this all ticket joyful event.
HH, Always in Celtic.

It’s in Islamic culture to attack the soldiers of army’s whom invade their lands in the most brutal manner possible.
In their thinking this will dissuade the political wing of invading armiy from doing so.
I dont agree with it but I try to understand their thinking.
The Exiled Tim,
If you visit the Daily Mail website they have an aerial photo which clears up the seeming lack of blood.
HH!

Couldn’t get anything with the link. Just a sign in page for a Microsoft thingie.
Thanks anyway.
TET You are one of the soundest guys on here and I wouldn’t argue with you if they paid me but it is inconceivable that the authoroties tampered with the scene. It was witnessed from start to finish by dozens of ordinary citizens, The footage was taken by these people, it was 20 mins before the cops arrived on the scene. What on earth are you suggesting was done to change the scene and why on earth would anyone do it.

‘certainly not brave.’
Not brave, no. Nor cowardly.

‘ernie

That’s ruthless, not cowardly.

‘Would a bullet, or a remotely controlled bomb or a drone attack be more or less cowardly?’
We’re not discussing these matters at the moment we are discussing yesterday’s horrendous murder in Woolwich.
Here it comes again. I am 5 years and 9 months old once more.

it lacks courage..
ruthless too

‘ernie

A lot of actions lack, or don’t require, courage. That doesn’t make them cowardly.

We are being told that the attackers have links to Nigeria. I wasn’t aware that the British Army have invaded Nigeria recently.
The argument on whether the perpetrators were cowards or not is all about semantics. I was and am totally appalled by the murder but I do understand Ernies point. The 2 guys quite obviously were quite prepared and in all probability wanted to die. They waited for the police and charged them forcing the police to shoot them. Cowards wouldn’t put their lives at risk in that manner.
I love these discussions,(Woolwich)brings out the best and worst on here.Better than arguing over how often Campbell Ogilivie has been to lunch with Mr Whtye and whether the dead team will ever be officially pronounced dead.

What I’m discussing specifically is that it is inappropriate and inaccurate to described the attack as cowardly.
Ralphwaldoellison remembers als victims Jimmy Johnstone and John Cushley.
Yes. You?

on your latter point I’m probably rating that only slightly more likely than say, the DPR of Korea’s ‘Eternal President’ getting voted out of office:)

quite so …but killing a man ….
Courageous or cowardly it makes no real odds, the boy, and he was only a boy, is dead.
Leave the semantics and show a wee bit of respect.
Cowardly: adjective
lacking courage:he was a weak, cowardly man
•
(of an action) carried out against a person who is unable to retaliate:a cowardly attack on a helpless victim

So every shooting, every missile strike, every bombing, every drone attack is cowardly and is always referred to as such?
matters less trivial,

if someone says something not so nice, they made a mistake, lets move on,

You tried to move the goal posts by introducing drones etc to the discussion. As I said it was cowardly. They attacked an unarmed man with a car to disable him and when he was defenceless they decapitated him.
What subsequently transpired is immaterial. I’m specifically talking about the murder.
