I should have been home yesterday, will be lucky to get home tomorrow. Two cancelled flights and one cancelled train. Been on the road for 12 hours, seen two airports, lots of railway stations and still can’t get to Scotland.
I now have to accept I will not make the Scottish Cup tie tomorrow, but if the roads through Glasgow are as clear as I hear, I never had a thought the game would be cancelled. If stadiums, access areas and trunk roads are clear, football will go ahead at all Scottish Cup games this weekend. No matter how inconvenient it is for me.
Morton chairman Warren Hawke wants the game postponed to protect supporters’ “life and limb”. It is nothing to do with the fact his players have not run the length of themselves all week. Meanwhile Kilmarnock fans will travel to Aberdeen, confident in returning with approximately the same limb count.
You can be 100% sure Brendan Rodgers wants the game to go ahead. He wants Morton now and doesn’t want a second game cancelled before Ibrox. That being the case, it will happen.
This is a tough one to sit out. The Scottish Cup means lots, this season’s more than most, but thems the breaks.

Looking for a good result and performance tomorrow with 2 strikers.
I will wager now that the hun will struggle against The Bairns in sunday and they will need help from the cheat with the whistle to get through, I honestly can’t see a Paul Hartley team lying down to them.
They have struggled when up against teams that don’t lie down to them, Hibs and Killie, I expect the same from Falkirk, amazing how easy it is to set up your team to not compete, paranoid, you bet I am :-)

I’ve got a feeling we’ll kick into gear next week and outclass them. They think they’re Barcelona and that suits us fine.
David17,

WITS,
My bookie site would only let me place a bet at starting price. My each way bet produced a magnificent 50p profit. Which is 50p more than I usually win. :-)

I found it funny.

Those unable/unwilling to attend tomorrow despite purchasing a ticket through the HCTS may find that turnstile not being turned by your ticket means non-attendance in ballot for semi and/or cup final if my memory serves me correctly.BTW, was it not about -10C when played Kilmarnock a couple of years ago and like a skating rink on the pavements?

I have a copy pf that Side Letter and there is nothing unusual in the SPL agreeing not to sanction Sevco for the sins of RFC, Sevco after all did nothing to be sanctioned for.
The disingenuous bit comes in however when Doncaster, who signed the side letter goes on to justify RFC and Sevco being the same club under a new company.
Talk about having your cake and eat it. The guy needs hunted along with Regan for using an SFA Article innovation in 2005 to apply an owner/club construct to RFC in 2012 when that was not the intent in 2005.
Your post made me look at the 5 Way again and two paras that I struggled with. Craig Whyte Exempt Acts and Craig Whyte Enduring acts became a bit clearer, particularly in terms of the porkies told to UEFA in June and September 2011. Every day is a school day.
Where EcoJohn got it right is in asking what knowledge did the SPL have in June/July 2012 about the DOS ebts, an issue the Compliance Officer should be addressing and we will know if he hasn’t.
The older you get the colder you get and I for one am grateful to those who make the effort to cheer on the players where they can hear the cheers.
Without them there would be no team to support, no blog to write on.
I find an attitude of gratitude quite a healthy concept.
I joined the HCTS this Season to make sure Aidan got to see Celtic in Finals.
I’m stunned the game has been allowed to go ahead, perhaps Glasgow has its own eco climate, or perhaps Dumbarton has been hit the hardest by the snow.
My Car isn’t going anywhere for a while.
RIP Margaret, Almighty take care of Peter and Kerry.
Brendan responding to speculation about replacing Wenger at Arsenal.
‘ “For me, my focus and my life is here. I love my professional life, the challenges of managing, the expectations, the scrutiny that comes with Celtic.
“Like I say, I’m living the dream”
Pretty unequivocal response from the main man.I like it Brendan, I like it a lot.

Boiled down and stripped of legalese the shameful guarantee states: ‘The SPL hereby undertakes solely and exclusively to Sevco and to no other Person . . . that the SPL shall not . . . take or commence disciplinary proceedings against Sevco . . . in respect of any EBT Payments and Arrangements’.
Sevco are old Rangers according to Doncaster so yes they can be punished if this is the route he wants to go down.
Morning All.
Couldn’t get into Glasgow yesterday from the Endrick Valley and there is not a snowball’s chance in hell of my car being snow free today, so no game for me.
Just a wee dunt for the dinner on 25th May as I am now starting to put tables together and draw up names for table lists and for Friesdorfer to start making up badges etc.
Of the places left I have around 6 folk talking about tables of 10 so in truth there are less than 100 seats left so be quick if you want to get in touch.

Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league
They come from bonnie Scotland, they come from county Cork,
They come from dear old Donegal and even from New York,
From every street in Glasgow they proudly make their way,
To a place called dear old paradise and this is what they say.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league.
There’s Fallon, Young and Gemmell who proudly wear the green,
There’s Clark, McNeill and Kennedy the best there;s ever been,
Jim Johnstone, Murdoch, Chalmers, John Divers and John Hughes,
And sixty thousand Celtic fans who proudly shout the news.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league.

” wend my weary way down to watch the match from my seat in a nice warm bar 400 miles away.”
400 miles away? Surely there is a pub closer than that?
