No excuses, please, Brendan

As a rule, I don’t like managers complaining about the pitch, the weather (Barbara is blowing in Hamilton right now), the ball or anything else prior to a game. Experience suggests if you give players an excuse to underperform, they’ll grab it with both hands.

The pitch at the Superseal (save us) Stadium Hamilton is more than adequate for a football match, let’s get on with it.

After a run of solid results Accies came off the rails in the last two games, losing narrowly to the top two: 1-0 away to Celtic then 1-2 to Newco in Hamilton. These are not the games which are important for Hamilton but losing twice by a single goal will sting. Barricades will be reinforced for Celtic tomorrow.

Brendan Rodgers has managed his squad subliminally well this month, resting players throughout but still putting a team on the field to win all, apart from the 1-1 away in the Champions League. He’ll know that anything less than 100% tomorrow brings the real risk of dropped points, so I’m far from sure he’ll be in the mood to rest anyone.

It’s been a couple of weeks since we saw images of Kieran Tierney back training. When he went through his operation we were told it would be January before we’d see him back, but he’s a fit lad, I wonder if he’ll be ready for 20 minutes on the magnificently smooth Lanarkshire surface.

    As students in the `60s , when folk music was in vogue , or back in vogue , all these songs were ours.

     

     

    Out came the guitars and the fiddle.

     

     

    Virtually all the Clancies or my preference , the Dubliners.

    Aye, she has been through the mill lately.

     

    She commented as I left tonight that she would rather be in hospital for Christmas than Dallnottar Cemetry.

     

    Her humour and strong heart are beating strongly. Thanks pal.

    St. Ninian’s was my parish and still is my mums, although she struggles to get up the hill these days since her friend died (she went to the COS across the road, and drove my mum to mass every week) there are huns and there are protestants, she was definitely not a hun

    My mam’s best pal Mary went to the CoS church off Alderman Road. She started taking my mam to Corpus Christi in recent years, and attending the full mass. She is a Rangers sympathiser but never a hun.
