Will we see penalty claims? 4/7 no 6/5 yes
Scotland were robbed in the rugby.
Just watched the penalty incident again. It was an Australian player that played the ball back and not a Scottish player knocking it forward, so that Scottish player that caught the ball was perfectly within his rights. Correct decision would have been …play on
Ach well Back to the sippin whisky. Just love being retired o)
WiTS, it was still an infringement, unintentionally offside(ahead of the ball as it was played) scrum, Aussie put in.
Not a penalty nor 3 points. They would still be in good position, but far further away from scoring any points.
Referee Muir exposed again tonight – he will be watching this in an excited state tinged with the disappointment he didn’t get points off Celtic despite his very best efforts
WTF
Why show an old Celtic game where they got beat? Strange….
TSOAL
To bring Timmy down a peg.
Doc
Yes you are probably right. The decision just prior to that not to sin bin the aussie player for a late tackle was a bad one
So BBC say yep it was 2 pens, but here’s one from the archives when you got beat by the Mothers in 1976. Get it up you Timmy! Really! Hurting Zombies.
Time for Celtic to grow one as well and raise the ref issue up a level.

WiTS, it was, the yellow card was also harsh, instinctive isn’t the same as deliberate.
BCW
Bishopbriggs?? Knew him when he was an alter Bhoy!!! Night all H H
Sportscene,
Forty year rewind, a classic Motherwell 3 Celtic 2 1976.
I think my first time at for park, massive Celtic support.
Feck in dobbers
Has Muir’s other non penalty award in the Caley game been lost in the BBC archives and only footage of teams scoring against us availble?
I’m getting paranoid about my paranoia
Good night all and sleep well.
TSOAL
It’s a new feature – Classic Baiting of the Tim’s, it’s on most weeks. They have also shown the ICT league cup match and almost as bizarrely the old Huns trashing Barcelona in 72.

Well if Celtic don’t make any noise about this well i am afraid we are fecked
Love
Motherwell in 76?
That the Pettigrew cup game?
I was gutted at that,never heard of him before but he was bloody fast!
TSOAL
What if they pay lip service to it,but decline to follow up?
That’s the M.O. over the last decade or so. Can’t see it changing,mate b
Sportscene – dear oh dear! For all you hurting huns – here’s a clip of Celtic getting beat 40 years ago! Haha!! These people are hilarious!! How insecure do you have to be for that? Meanwhile, back in the real world, The Hoops play Mo-T off the park and go top of the league despite being denied 2 clear-as-you’ll-ever see penalties. It must be cold…
For those coming to Dublin, thinking about coming over and those that can’t make it,

Sportscene programme sums up the anti Celtic bias and are part of the compliant SMSM. I often wonder why ex Celtic players appear on that trashy show, and why they never tell it like it is. Celtic Football Club should be bringing up the blatant cheating from the masons in the black, but I won’t hold my breath. Especially when everyone could see that Muir was doing what he set out to do, cheat, and deny Celtic any opportunity to finish off the game. All we ask is a level playing field. For 50 years, I have witnessed on many occasions, the blatant cheating to ensure Anyone but Celtic wins games, leagues, and cups.
Paranoid, we were not paranoid enough.
But the cheats never learn, that you reap what you sow, and Karma is going to get you.

Any Celtic fan or supporter who thinks that the ‘custodians ‘ of our club will ever lodge a protest about Masonic ‘honest mistakes’ are deluded.
The board is infested by Masons, who were party to the 5 way agreement.
Luckily for them it will never come out in the trial of the Sevco 5.
All in it up to their goat molesting necks.
Every last one of them.

He knows that Celtic FC / PLC are a house of cards….dont you think that, the Tim in him isny feckin annoyed about that…knowing that he is like every other Celtic supporter….on the outside of his club watching a bunch of Tory-Masonic-Chancers who’ll kowtow to the anti-Celtic-Establishments-demands so that, they’ll get an easy ride….after, taking all the Celtic supporters money from them then, selling them out.
And it is said that huns are gullible.

Mr Desmond,whose business(Stockbrokers) benefitted hugely from his association with C.J. Haughey, and who was present at both Mr Haughey’s removal and funeral earlier this year, said he never witnessed any corrupt practices in the 20 years that he was friends with the former Taoiseach even though the tribunal found that Mr Haughey took €45m in today’s money from taxpayers, political allies and ailing friends in order to fund his lavish lifestyle and found his corruption ultimately “devalued the quality of a modern democracy”.
And he took a swipe at its refusal to accept at face value his own claims that he received no favours from Mr Haughey in exchange for the €95,000 he paid to have Mr Haughey’s Celtic Mist yacht repaired.
“Maybe the people at the tribunal don’t have friends or don’t understand how in Ireland most people, if they can, help out their friends in need,” he said.
THE book is closed, said Mary O’Rourke on Tuesday, as she mulled over the Moriarty Tribunal report in December 2006 Hardly had she finished speaking than her nephew Conor Lenihan tore it open again.
If ever there was an occasion for keeping the book closed, this was it: the aftermath of the Moriarty Report, which had confirmed a catalogue of wrongdoing by Charles J Haughey including, most devastatingly, the theft of funds raised for Brian Lenihan senior’s life-saving liver transplant in the US.
the Clown in the Lenihan Cupboard.?
Lenihans are smart people and most of them can see a choice when it stares them in the face.
They had a choice on Tuesday. They could keep their mouths as firmly closed as the book. Or they could talk and say nothing. Mary chose the latter. Conor unwisely took neither. His over-the-top performance on RTE’s Prime Time was astonishing.
Without any provocation, he cast himself in the role of defender of Haughey and of Bertie Ahern, the man who a few months ago described the disgraced Taoiseach as “a patriot to his fingertips”. He interrupted other contributors even though he had little coherent to say. They must have been as baffled as viewers who remembered how his late father’s political career had ended in 1990.
Haughey sacked Lenihan, his Tanaiste and Defence Minister – and old friend and loyal political associate – at the dictation of his coalition partners the Progressive Democrats. Lenihan had refused to resign because he rejected an accusation that he had lied to the Irish people about an incident in 1982.
The ironies are enormous when one remembers the innumerable thumping lies in which Haughey was caught out before his death. But the circumstances were less important than the politics. One of his closest friends told me after the capitulation: “He should have told the PDs to eff off.” And so he should. He should not have pandered to their taste for red meat.
Soon they came looking for his own head on a plate, and got it. Poetic justice, but it did not restore Brian Lenihan’s career or silence his detractors.
Which is worse, to betray an old friend or to steal money contributed for the purpose of saving his life? Let moralists ponder that. Here’s a political question.
What organisation demands public declarations in favour of persons who have grievously wronged your nearest and dearest? Here’s a clue in the form of another question. What organisation’s membership features grown men who weep publicly and loudly at funerals?
Tom Gilmartin, billed for an early appearance as a witness at another tribunal, told a number of Fianna Fail ministers that they were worse than the Mafia. Well, no. Nobody is sleeping with the fishes.
The devaluation of Irish democracy deplored by Mr Justice Michael Moriarty has gone nowhere near as far as the undermining of Italian society by a combination of the Mafia, corrupt politicians of both (formerly) main parties, and a Masonic lodge with a membership ranging from cardinals to newspaper editors.
But you can’t be a little bit corrupt, any more than you can be a little bit pregnant. Anyone who took a trifle like IR£1,000 from Frank Dunlop set his foot on the slippery slope that led to the tribunals. And grander folk, though they talk a great game, have not convinced some of us they have “changed the culture”.
Here’s another question, one that many have asked since the publication of the Moriarty Report and some asked before.
Haughey stole money from the Fianna Fail Party. To the best of any outsider’s knowledge, the party has made no efforts to get it back. Why? Could an inquiry reveal embarrassing information, like the survival of the old culture in crevices still undiscovered?
And here’s a final question. There are chapters of this book that remain closed. For example, Moriarty has not got to the bottom of the “Fustok affair” involving a Saudi sheikh and his friends and relations, the sale of passports by the dozen, and a supposed transaction in which a horse changed hands for IR£50,000.
We can pretty well forget about the horse. You can sell a thoroughbred yearling for IR£50,000 or IR£5,000 or (if you’re unlucky) IR£500, but you can’t sell bloodstock without documents. And a person engaged in dodgy transactions won’t sell a dozen passports, or a single passport, for IR£50,000.
If nine years and €25m failed to find an answer for Moriarty, ordinary mortals might despair. But you never know. Whistleblowers do emerge. Things could get better.
Mind you, they could get worse. The capi may not rest content with tears and bearhugs. They may wish to introduce kneeling and kissing hands. Oh, and sentimental songs. But they have these already in the Galway tent.
James Downey is the author of Lenihan: His Life and Loyalties, a biography of the late Brian Lenihan
Aherns graveside oration to his patriot dead.?
About six months ago, in a graveside oration, the Taoiseach described Haughey thus: “If the definition of a patriot is someone who devotes all their energy to the betterment of their country, Charles Haughey was a patriot to his fingertips”.
Conversely, Moriarty said of him that by taking those payments Haughey “can only be said to have devalued a modern democracy”.
What a patriot!
Possibly the only semblance of truth in Bertie Ahern’s extravagant description was his reference to Haughey’s fingertips — they were everywhere.
Ahern availed of a fairly rare occasion in Irish life to deliver his eulogy — a State funeral that his Government accorded Haughey who, even in death, managed to extort money from the taxpayers.
Instead of quoting from Yeats, as he did, the Taoiseach might have borrowed from Winston Churchill: “I am prepared to meet my maker. Whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter”.
Haughey was elected Taoiseach three times.
Most politicians would consider elevation to the most powerful and prestigious office in the land to be a signal honour. To him the office was like a cash cow and he milked it for what he thought it was worth. He merely considered it an opportunity to print money.
And he printed millions of it — the equivalent of €45 million in today’s terms, as the Moriarty report pointed out. No wonder Haughey wanted to retain the power of the office — it was his lever for untold riches.
The man was far removed from the real world and he proved it when he had the temerity to tell the rest of us on television in 1980 that we were living beyond our means.
But Haughey couldn’t have done it without the help of others, and there were plenty to ingratiate themselves with him once they knew he was available for ingratiation. Even though Bertie Ahern got only a slight tap on the wrist from Moriarty, he had helped Haughey to enjoy a lifestyle he wasn’t entitled to by signing — without question — blank cheques on the Fianna Fáil leader’s account. Haughey then proceeded to abuse that account, set up with taxpayers’ money, by spending almost €16,000 on Charvet shirts and more than €15,000 on lavish meals in the Le Coq Hardi restaurant.
The Moriarty report found that Bertie Ahern “undoubtedly facilitated the misuse” of taxpayers’ funds by Haughey, although it was “satisfied” he had no reason to believe the account operated otherwise than in an orthodox fashion.
Other individuals are peeved because they figured in the tribunal. They know whether or not they received favours for cash, but either way it was wrong to give money to any public office-holder — never mind a Taoiseach.

Does anyone ever get the urge to run about, mouth open, tongue fully extended, with their arms held out and back as if a modern fighter aircraft?
As some of you will know, I work in a distillery and the still house is a large hall with extensive space for running about in such a manner.
Almost every time I go in to the still house, I try to fight this urge.
Tonight I have been unsuccessful.
Should I be worried?

Goals from Molde’s 3-1 win today
https://youtu.be/W3tNeyRmODc

Decent goals.
Worryingly, they seem to me to be similar to Maribor in that they have had a slow start to their domestic season, are now climbing back to eminence and reserve their best performances for euro ties.
Gulp!

I hope they won’t get the space they had directly in front of the back 4, assuming Broonie and his accomplices deny them the space.
Obviously I haven’t see any more of the game but they didn’t look too clever at the back on the goal they lost.
Set pieces and crosses could bring us a few chances.
‘GG
Very true. We need to be switched on and hopefully CG wouldn’t let them in at the near post either.
