If you are going to Celtic Park tomorrow you will see a lot of photos like the one above. Outside the ground 200 bucketeers will be collecting to raise money to send Oscar Knox for treatment for neauroblastoma.
Be prepared. Bring spare cash with you, have it ready and do your bit for Oscar.
For the second week in a row we take on the team at the bottom of the table; see how that worked out last week. After an awful August which saw Dundee’s return to the SPL marked with one point and no goals scored from four games, they picked up three points at Tynecastle before losing a lead late in the game against Motherwell last weekend. Manager Barry Smith will have watched how St Johnstone went about their business six days ago and will believe his team can nick something at Celtic Park.
Neil Lennon (and some of us) will welcome the drop in intensity from Wednesday’s Champions League tie as Celtic are likely to give game time to those who joined the club three weeks ago. Miku, Lassad and Ambrose all need to stretch their legs.
Big shout again for the guys raising money for Celtic Youth Development through TicPick. It’s £1 to enter and you win £1000 for predicting 10 results. I’ve gone for Celtic to beat Dundee, West Ham to beat Sunderland, Aberdeen and Motherwell to draw, Man City to beat Arsenal, St Mirren to beat Killie, Dundee United to beat Hearts, Man Utd to beat Liverpool, Hibs to beat Inverness, Chelsea to beat Stoke and Spurs to beat QPR.

The Sevco/Addidas tale has more holes in it than Rab C Nesbitt’s simmit.
The majority has already arrived. And good to see an important demographic like the 18 to 24 group with such a high percentage of rational thinkers. It bodes well for the future.
South of Tunis- butt away, good buddy.
I’m not convinced about the Mumfords.
However, the openin’ track of ‘Goodbye Normal Street’ by the Turnpike Troubadours sounds a lot like ‘Matty Groves’, which is never a bad thing.
Somehow Communism morphed into a weird secular religion with its own pantheon of saints and angels.
(If I wanted to reeeaaallly stretch the thought, the name ‘Engels’ means ‘Angels’.)
Whatever…. I found it bizarre. My dad was a member of the communist party in the 30’s, like so many at that time, and he quit after 6 months because he said it was too much like religion….you were expected to take so much on faith.
But even so, he could never get a job in The USA because of his youthful dalliance with Marxism.
People back then were just looking for an alternative to rampant greed. Much like today.
Anyone else notice the difference in the MSM treatment of the cartoon violence directed towards the ole hillbillies and the real violence inflicted on Neil Lennon on numerous occasions over the years?

The zombies didn’t bring it upon themselves, did they? Therein lies the difference.
Just a few thoughts for a Friday.
I posted before the game on Wednesday that I was none too confident about the result against Benfica. This feeling was heightened when I saw Gary was on the bench, no doubt due to a bout of Lennoxtown Syndrome. I was pleasantly surprised to see we were not overcome with nerves/fear/tremblin’ mince. It is important not to lose the first match of the group and we achieved that much.
Sportsound:
Is there a feud developing between Jim Spence and Jabba? And why do the BBC edit the repeat to excise their sometimes slightly too sharp exchanges? Is this a sign of the cold blast of reality finally blowing through the studios of BBC Shortbread?
Hyperbole CSC
‘Tom & Jerry’ are more offensive to the msm than very real ‘kill counts’ ,’megadeaths’, and drones with ‘hellcat’ missiles.
Jabba is more offensive than most in the msm.
DBBIA
Matty Groves ?
Mmm —– I’m someone who much prefers the idea of ” folk songs” to the sound of ” folk songs ”
Pal recently gifted me the recently reprinted — Penguin Book of English Folk Songs- {beautiful book !} and Bert -The Life and Times of AL Lloyd [Dave Arthur ] A very good biography of an interesting character .
Donation made.
Hopefully we get the rest of the funds for wee Oscar this weekend!

All I can say is, how utterly pathetic SFA.
With all the serious offences eminating from RFCia, so many that you have been completely unable to keep a lid on them, you drag up this banner charge.
If my kids came up with stuff like that I’d be telling them go stop whining and grow up.
Utterly pathetic.
The game in Scotland is facing the biggest crisis since it’s inception, not because RFCia are gone but principally because it is obvious to EVERYONE that the SFA themselves have finally been exposed for the totally corrupt regime Celtic fans & others have always known them to be.
And in the midst of this crisis, you find time to try to stick one on Celtic, as if this charge is even worth mentioning.
Did I say, utterly pathetic?
Sorry, I meant to say utterly pathetic!
What a great read “Downfall” is! I was on 15 hours worth of flights yesterday and planned to get some well needed sleep. However the book was too darn riveting and I couldn’t put it down. I am now suffering jet lag! LOL
South of Tunis -all popular music is folk music.
From time to tome I stray north of the ole Mason-Dixon line.
‘Matty Groves’ is just an ole murder ballad.

Does anyone know of any pubs in Glasgow that will be showing the Dublin Final on Sunday apart from The Tolbooth?

What about Mister Ed? (thumbsup)
My team for tomorrow to run over the top of Barry Smiths triers:
Forster
Matthews Lustig Wilson Mulgrew
Forrest Brown Wanyama Commons
Lassad Miku
Bring big Efe on for Lustig after an hour when we’re 3 up to get him some game time.
Hooper on for Miku allowing a standing ovation after his hat-trick.
Watt on for Lassad coz he’ll me knackered after 70 mins.
FT: Celtic 4 Dundee 0

Post of the day.
Scott Brown won’t play tomorrow.
philvisreturns —-
He was a rapper.
SOT. Books on British Folk Rock is it? Rob Young’s Electric Eden is a once in a lifetime read . Who knew, for example, that dark haired temptress Toni Arthur of Play School , who stirred such strange longing amongst those of us off ill with a bad chest , attended Naked Witchy Meetings in the 70’s after putting Hamble back through the round window for the afternoon?
CaltonTongues
Oneills, Sauchiehall St definitely will show it.
HH
traditionalist88,
Thanks.
His name is Charlie Mulgrew..
He’s our number 1 centre half and should be thought of as that
Spine of the team for tomorrow:
FF
CM
VW
TW
Would like to see
FF
AM EA CM EI
JF SB VW LN
TW Miku
Give it a half and see how it’s going and have Hooper, Wilson, Lustig, Commons on the bench rested and available if needed
JJP-ON – I would be more inclined to start with Watt and then bring on Miku (or Lassad). Starting the 2 new bhoys together might lead to confusion, whereas Watt has a better understanding of the team to date. I’m looking forward to seeing Efe but I would only bring him on once we are 2-0 up with 10 to play or once we are 3-0 up. Just call me Mr cautious with new bhoys!
I like the tenacity and directness of Mr Watt. He deserves to start………. unlike Mr Forrest who needs to re-visit the ‘contribution to team’ class
I also want Efe from the start. He’s talked a great game so far so I’d give him the chance to show he has the mettle. At home we should always be able to blood a defender.
HH
Lustig has a hamstring strain so won’t feature tomorrow for sure
CT
as traditionalist said, They have signs outside saying the game will be shown there
ROW Z -Agree mate,Efe to start.
Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it’s not me, it’s not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying…
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What’s in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou…
Another mother’s breakin’,
Heart is taking over.
When the vi’lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.
It’s the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they’re still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying…
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What’s in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya,
DENA29,GOOGYBHOY
Thanks,lads,and you are right.
Family first,principles second.
Let’s face it,there may not be too many occasions that my Dad and I can “go tae the gemme thegither”.
Because if I stick to my principles,and refuse to go back,etc,,he’ll kill me…..
blantyretim,
Thanks, it’s not for me. It’s Eyes Wide Open’s wee brother who’s looking for a pub.
Charlie Mulgrew is not a centre-half. He fills in there admirably and has indeed been our best player in that position over the last 18 months.
Charlie should be challenging with Jo for the left mid slot because we have excellent centrebacks who don’t need cover.
efe, Rogne and Wilson should now push each othger for the starting berths there.
Izzy I think needs game time. He is the same man and same player. he just needs to move up from 3rd to 5th gear by getting games done. Tomorrow is a game where he can do this and so should play. Give the man a break and he’ll shine again.
HH
Blindlemonchitlin-
I very much enjoyed – Electric Eden . I also liked — Seasons They Change -The Story of Acid and Psychedelic Folk [ Jeanette Leech ]
Toni Arthur ? ——- Didn’t stir any longings in me when my old man dragged me to a folk club in St Albans to see her and Dave [ her brother ? / The Waterstons and Young Tradition. Scarred me for life.

Sorry mate just back on. Many thanks for your generosity, I only hope that they last for a week in my hoose without being eaten :-)
Can I also mention The KSC (Blantyre) who are very generously considering make a separate donation to the Wee Oscar fund and are also donating a bottle for the raffle.
That picture of Oscar is simply wonderful.
Good luck to everyone fundraising tomorrow. No need to say it, but I know the Celtic fans will dig deep into their pockets to help this brave young lad.
Lustig and Miku both doubts for the game. Assuming they don’t make it, I’ll go:

Good point BBB. I bow to your superior knowledge.
Does anyone else every have difficulties remembering who we actually have in our squad for certain areas or is it just me??
Also, has anyone ever seen Rabiu Ibrahim yet? I think he was on the bench recently? I was full of optimism when we signed this kid but yet to see him feature. Although I know he was injured for a time.
