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.

Currently reading all the sevco nonsense, sorry developments (titter), and it can all be summed up by something Phil Mac said some time ago…
FOLLOW THE MONEY……and, when there is (shortly) none left, they can follow the horse-racing, rugby, or Partick Thistle…..the bhuns will not buy the shares…..they proved that at the last share issue…..happy days ahead (I think Wallis knows they will not buy shares to the level required and that is why he is not going down THAT road….he is fully dependant on SB sales, but will they survive ’til then …….all good stuff (hehe)

Hey Kit –
I’m going out now, but will leave you with this.
The world is round.
I’ll check in tomorrow to catch your dissertation on why the world is, in fact, flat as a pancake.
Can’t wait.
Cheers.
The most popular destination for UK emigrants is… Australia.

RBS posts loss of 8.2 billion pounds but will pay bonuses of up to 576 million pounds, capitalism at its best!
AR
——
But what if the losses would have been 10 billion except for the hard work of those getting the bonus? And what if the bonus is being shared among all the employees?
Not sure either of the above is true but can’t always jump to conclusion that loss making and bonuses are incompatible.
A wee snippet from the punters (thinks Weeminger) on the RIFC Shares Discussion Board this morning.
Re. SDM He tried to off load this club for many,many years.He ended up giving it away,for a token payment of one pound. Shortly after the club went into administration and an eccentric from the USA nearly bought the club on Ebay,but changed his mind at the last minute and decided to buy a boat instead. Green stepped in and,with no money,(he borrowed money,which the club became liable for,)and bought the club. Green put the club on the stock market and used the proceeds of this to pay back his original loan,and secure some money for himself and his friends,amazing.
McCoist is a sly one
I am sure he is happy at being characterised as somebody “who trusts too much” rather than what he really is. Lining his pockets alongside all the spivs while they take the Oldco fans for a ride.

I hope you are right on all this, but im not convinced yet.
Following the reintroduction of honest mistakes, and league jiggery pokery, it looks like the circus of horrors will continue for a while yet.
I mean, surely by now, sevco should be dead, but still, THEY LIVE.
Its like a warped Frankenstein movie, the beast must die!, only it wont.
So I wish I had your faith.

Should also say that the losses are predominantly historical (ppi and dodgy inter bank dealings) so at least the new management are setting aside money to pay their dues. Unlike some other company / club whose name escapes me at the moment.
The Green Man:
What has got me beat is – who is paying the liquidators bills?
supersutton,
Agreed buddy but I would be very surprised if the good people working hard at the bottom will be taking much of that pool, I think that I read that approx 180m is already allocated to merchant bankers.
bamboo,
Would that be the thunderbox that you’re talking about?

Watergate, was tame in comparison to the tricks these huns got up to.
Scoddland, corrupt to the core.

Ive said many times, that scoddland is institutionally sectarian, its blatant.
Overthrow of the whole system is the only solution, cant see that happening anytime soon.

Its simple….we want a level playing field, while they want to cheat.
In scoddland, you can be the manager of Celtic, and be physically attacked in front of millions of TV viewers, yet nothing will happen to the guilty party, and its accepted.
That’s all you need to know.
Now, they can try and try, until they are blue in the face, but it wont matter.
We will always be Celtic, while they are the death rattle of a way of life soon to be extinguished.

Haven’t read back too far yet, but get the impression you are currently discussing migration ….. could never understand why the Irish ‘homemovers’ of the 19th, early 20th Century were classed as immigrants, when they were simply moving with the UK……..so much for the union / empire….. :) ……”anything is anything, when it suits you”

Trends in top destinations for British citizens emigrating from the UK
• Australia was consistently the top destination for British long-term migrants leaving the UK over 1991 to 2010, and for much of that period the number of British emigrants to Australia has been growing – rising from 48,000 in 1991–92 to 64,000 in 2009–10 (both two-year totals).
• The USA was the second most popular destination until 2001–02 when Spain became more popular, with numbers of British emigrants to Spain growing to 2003-04, and then slowly reducing again back to their earlier levels by 2009–10.
• Emigration to France also showed a similar growth between 1999–2000 and 2005–06, but like Spain as a destination, has since returned to earlier levels.
• Other popular destinations for British citizens during this period were Germany, Canada and New Zealand.

I had a strange dream the other night, I was in a French revolutionary insurrection type march on the Bastille(SFA), there were loads dressed in green and white, the same as me, some with flaming torches.
The next minute, the building was stormed and the royalist occupants were routed and thrown in to the street, and ran for their lives.
Bearing in mind that ive been working for three days solid without a break, what does it all mean? :)

There is no official, state sponsored, jingoism in Australia on Australia Day. Do all these counties that celebrate a national day get all dewy jingoistic too?

I had a strange dream the other night too, I was fighting at the Battle of the Boyne on James’ side and I had a real working Johnny Seven gun with unlimited ammunition. The course of history was changed for ever.
