The clean sheet record had to go eventually, so I’m pleased it went to a good goal, not an error by Fraser, which would have been harsh on the big keeper. Having already recorded Celtic’s, then Scotland’s league clean sheet record, the British and European records were within touching distance, but that is now a matter for next season.
Months ago, when Virgil van Dijk first suggested we could go through the league season without defeat I said we were not nearly consistent enough to achieve this. Ironically, last night’s defeat came after a sustained period of consistent an authoritative performances, in the league.
Aberdeen will have lots of reasons to wonder where there team might go now, having beaten Celtic twice in a month. Amid all the newspaper talk in 2012 that Celtic needed their soon to be liquidated opponent, a few of us suggested that what Celtic really need is an opponent, and that Aberdeen, playing to a captive audience in a wealthy city, were the most likely candidates.
Manager, Derek McInnes, knows he does not have the resources to compete over a league programme, but he has proven a few points: he knows how to beat Celtic and his team are the best of the rest.
If Aberdeen can cope with the vagaries of trips to Easter Road and Victoria Park next season, four games against Celtic will take care of themselves. Let’s hope Newco Rangers don’t nip in and buy their best players with that non-emergency £1.5m loan.
The immediate challenge for Celtic is to get back into winning form on Saturday. League Cup finalists, Inverness, will come to make up the numbers.

I did catch your replies. Not sure you left me any room to reply as I did not spot anything too contentious in what was said.
In other words, this old curmudgeon pretty much agrees with you.
Now that should be a worry to you!

Natknow says he can sleep now whereas I’m left deeply troubled :-)
Last night Lenny took off Griffiths as opposed to Stokes; every Celtic supporter in the stadium was more than perplexed at this.
Recently against Aberdeen in the cup he repeated his mistake of playing 2 wingers in a 4 man midfield. The consequence was us being over run in the middle of the park.
Football is a reasonably simple art I think Neil needs to remember that at times.

Good to see What Is The Stars back on
i never got round to meeting you in Dublin when TET was over. Meant to drop in but the usual Capitalist Ironmasters kept me in the office.
Won’t make that mistake again. Dublin Tims are few and far between so we should meet up
A fat ex non league English striker won player of the year recently.Michael Higdon is probably eating cheeseburgers and playing Sunday league now but must have been some player for the Scottish MSM to bestow on him such an accolade,ey?
What price a failed Bristol City manager winning Manager of the Season?

Who should win it?
Michael Higdon
Forward NEC Nijmegen scored 9 goals in 23 appearances
I reckon Jon Daly wd have scored abt 30 goals with Celtic.!!
this morning i hosted an Essen German, and an Istanbul Turkish German , on a tour around Glasgow.
picked them up at the blythswood and gave them a whistlestop tour around the city.
obviously from my perspective.
these guys are in Corporate Real Estate.
they look at cities from a development, demolition, investment, infrastructure point of view.
so we went along these lines –
bath street, the church at buchanan street ! forget what its called numpty. george square , city chambers, merchant city, high street, provands lordship, the cathedral , john knox street. back down to the trongate, the tron, the river, saint andrews in the square, the barrows, the celtic quarter, the irish coming ashore, the church at the barrows, glasgow green, abercromby street , the calton, saint marys, a birthplace, a pilgramage, brigeton, london road, celtic park, the forge, celtic park, the history, walfrid , the irishm tommy burns, the famine, jock and jinky, the old railway, the school, the poverty, the european cup, 67, the horse on the london road, and an irish coatbridge band, the velodrome, dalmarnock , shawfield, hampden, record crowds, celtic crowds, 137,00 v aberdeen 1937, the m74, ibrox park, ……………. braehead, the airport.
their verdict as real estate people,
Glasgow is a very progressive city, the road infrastructure recently completed is a great addition to the city, the new schools, sports facilities and hospitals are all in evidence, the demolition of tower blocks and replacement with social housing is commendable and ……….
celtic park is a stunning location, great work, will be a future revenue stream
and ibrox , on first viewing,
ITS FALLING DOWN,
NEEDS IMMEDIATE AND OBVIOUS MAINTAINECE WORKS,
OBVIOUS ROOFING DETERIATION, AND DAMAGE.
PROBABLY UNSAFE.

Doubt you consulted “every” fan. Plus, Neil knows who is carrying a knock. The fans are not privy to that.
Repeatedly against Aberdeen in the Cup, was one game.
Some criticise him for not being simple, some for being simplistically naive. Some for subbing too early; some for too late. Some complain he plays his favourites, but who else’s favourites should he play?
jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/

I worked on the QE2 and there was a momentary silence after Betty announced the name.
Own
There was controversy beforehand, as it was rumoured to be Queen Elizabeth11, as in her name.
However, the wily sods named her QE2, as in the second ship to be called QE.
Foggy night at Parkhead, as it was commonly known in those days.
*i disown the stray ” own” in my last post.

If the dandy dons win one cup, their manager would deserve the manager of the year imo.
If ICT win a cup, big Yogi would deserve the prize imo.
If sevco win the SC, he will win it, undeserved, cos it will be with the assistance of the referees, cheat yer way out, tis the hun way.

I have no doubt their view of Govan was influenced by the commentary you provided during their personal tour.
BTW, where did you have lunch and what was consumed?
I thought NL subbed LG due to the fact he’d already been booked, not wanting to risk going down to 9 men !!

What is all the fuss about Robinson resigning?
Do they not have a deputy First Minister who could take over the job.

Talking to an unreconstructed Hun in the golf club last week. ‘Huvnae been back in Scotland for 5 years, but still ‘luv ma team so ah dae.’
Kept telling him his team died in his absence but he’s so thick and laughed at my ‘joke’.
Then gave me his expert opinion that Lee Wallace (who both of us have never seen play)is the best left back in Britain.
I replied that if Buwwy Davies valued him at a massive 900k,then that must be true.
Walked off to the car and left him looking very confused on how serious I was engaging in mindless conversation.
They embarrass the feck outta me when English guys are around….I try not to make eye contact but doesn’t always work unfortunately.
The letter to the Manure fans is genuine btw.
I have worked with a Mankies season ticket holder and they have been doing this for at least 5 years,now.
If you don’t take a ticket for selected CL games then you miss out on next league game.They sign up to this as a condition of getting a Season Ticket.Same for FA Cup games but not for League Cup.
Just so happens next league game is v Shitty in derby.
If they sell your ticket for league game,they refund at end of season.
Almost sounds like a feckwit scheme Adolf Ferguson would have suggested to the ticket office.

Does that imply capitalism works? Have never seen any evidence to support that! Never!
( of course I haven’t see anything to prove socialism works either – it just fails in a fairer way 8-) )
—————————————————————————————————-
Capitalism works in all the Western democracies.The places where the rest of the world wants to live.
Fairer way?Tell that to the Ukrainians,the Venezuelans and the Cubans.

I still love you Ryecatcher!!
I have the same conversations at work in Dublin about deadco , Arsenal, Liverpool and Man U fans all have an affinity to us but still don’t know who Huns, deadco are or will be

Australian socialism?
If Australia were socialist,I would be too.
No better example of the success of capitalism than Australia.
That`s why we have so many Chinese immigrants.

Being a Socialist takes more effort than being a Capitalist as it goes against the integral self serving drive of your own being.
That is why most people want to move to Capitalist countries from Socialist(given the choice) as they only look at the best case scenario. Have you seen the worst case in US, Mexico, Africa??
Macjay
Sorry, meant to say that Capitalist companies see everything as a normal distribution, bell curve. Socialism looks to flatten this. I like that, others don’t.
I do worry that i am a bell end though!
Macjay
Did the Capitalists not invade and murder the population to create a Capitalist space that only licked democracy post WW1 when several very white Capitalist died alongside tens of thousands of Turks, thousands of French and English and my great granda?
He was shot in the Dardenelles , and that hurts!!!!!
