Opportunity for squad to prove their worth tonight

248

Team selection for tonight’s game will be a big call for Brendan Rodgers. His desire to get players fully match fit will be tempered with the need for limbs to rest. I expect to see a much-changed side against Kilmarnock, perhaps with Kundai Benyu, Kristoffer Ajer and Eboue Kouassi getting a start.

There is a risk in dropping top players, especially in cup competitions, but some risks have to be taken.

The other important matter is the getting the sugar in our tea, otherwise known as Leigh Griffiths, on full sharpness for next week’s visit of Astana. I’d expect Leigh to get an hour tonight.

    Welcome home Paddy.

     

     

    Have you heard something definite, Tony?

  2. The Green Man says SACK THE Board

     

     

    Clearly it is related to Yorkston, I mean Yorkston is a personal friend and business associate of Gavin Masterson. Masterson sounds like Mattesson.

     

     

    Ergo, Yorkston is involved with Mattessons’ Chicken Fridge Raiders…

     

     

    Raiders…as in Space Raiders…

     

     

    UFOs + Chickens = John Yorkston.

     

     

    Extra marks for showing my working…

    Now you can see why CELTIC played this young boy tonight!

     

     

    Jimmy another hero in the days of black and white TV.

     

    ……………………BHOYJOE,

     

    The Hun commentator in the 1960’s who said ” you can see why Celtic have played this little boy TODAY” was George Davidson !

     

    it was during a match at Ipox, and wee Jinky was running riot.

     

    I can still picture this Hun commentator as being a wee old grey haired Hun, and bhoy was he feckin ugly….typical Hun !

    Death once had a near-Bobo Balde experience………..

     

     

    Excellent!

     

     

    ———————————————

     

    An atheist is swimming in choppy waters off the coast of Australia when he sees a Great White Shark approaching him with its mouth open.

     

     

    He exclaims “Oh My God”

     

     

    At this, the waters calm down, the shark stops, the sky parts and God appears.

     

     

    God says to the swimmer “I didn’t think that you believed in me.” The shark witnesses this.

     

     

    The swimmer quickly responds “No, I didn’t but I though that if you did appear and the shark saw you he would know that you exist and that he should follow your will”

     

     

    God says “Good answer”and disappears, the sky closes and the waters become choppy again.

     

     

    The swimmer thinks that he can relax until he sees the shark approach with its mouth open.

     

     

    He says to the shark “Stop. Remember that you have just seen God and you should follow his will”

     

     

    The shark say “Oh, I do apologise…….. For what I am about to receive, may I be truly thankful”

    Welcome home Paddy.

     

     

     

    Have you heard something definite, Tony?

     

    ………………………….. See the wee barmaid who text her male friend at Celtic Park about Paddy, whilst I was sinking a couple of pints of the black in the pub in the Saltmarket….we’ll see if she’s given me the correct info….Im gonny give her a big smacker tonight before the game….shes has a pair…………….. of lovely eyes !

  8. Like many others, I would be happy if Paddy returned to Celtic but I believe this may well be the source of the rumours:

     

     

    Chris McLaughlin, BBC

     

     

    ” England Under-20 winger Patrick Roberts will tell Manchester City that his preference is to rejoin Celtic on loan.”

     

     

    The article then quotes Chris Davies reiterating that Celtic retain open dialogue with Patrick but there is not a grain of evidence to support McLaughlin`s opening statement.

  9. The Green Man

     

     

    Dan Browne? Aye, he could write about all the Tom Hanks in Scottish Football…

  10. As a matter of interest, if Man City wanted to send Paddy out on loan, does Paddy have to go?

  11. BIG JIMMY on 8TH AUGUST 2017 3:37 PM,

     

     

    Jimmy,George might have been a hun,but same as Jimmy sanderson,who was the star of Clyde 1 back in the day,they were fantastic to listen to.Did not let their allegiances get in the way of their job.Unlike todays trumpets.Or as you would call them,much to my enjoyment”Chumps”

  12. HOT SMOKED on 8TH AUGUST 2017 3:42 PM,

     

     

    Kenny Mc Intyre may be whatever,but he said his sources have said Paddy has told Man City,he wants to go to Celtic.I kinda believe he is telling the truth.His sources,who knows.

  13. Turkeyboy

     

    Thanks. My guess would be that the bold Chris is simply trying to create the impression that he is in the know by `borrowing` from the sources of others.

     

    Regardless, I would be very happy if Paddy returns. He inspires confidence.

    Wee George Davidson was indeed a hun but his colleague Peter Thomson seemed to be a bigger hun…he was certainly uglier :-)

     

    Thank goodness we had Arthur Stramash Montford and Bob Crampsey…

  15. Tony D

     

    Whereas if it were Ibrox of which we spoke, it would be ` crossing the i`s ` :-)

    Brilliant. Hope it happens. Thanks Tony.

  18. BIG JIMMY on 8TH AUGUST 2017 6:57 AM

     

    Interesting news that I have just read this morning from the ” Developing Story” ?

     

     

    if I remember correctly ( and it was a widespread rumour at the time) was that after the Huns got the required result against Dunfermline that day, the Pars goalie ( Stillie ?), was alleged to have been a guest at some Hun supporters function that previous midweek, and allegedly made the some comment to the Huns fans, ” Rangers won’t have many problems scoring this week” ?

     

     

    *another story doing the rounds in Dumbarton was former hun full back and assistant manager of a premier league side at the time was at a function in the Rock Bowling Club in the town the week of this game and seemingly said “if rancid needs goals then rancid will get goals”.

     

     

    Now read intae that what you think, could mean they are good enough tae win or they’ll be handed the game and as many goals as possible on a plate.

     

     

    If my memory serves me well when the hill o’ beath bevy merchant’s nephew equalised for the Pars the celebrations were muted. BTW it was the current city of discovery manager and well knows Morton fan that dived in the box for the time added on penalty, what a way tae win a trophy.

     

     

    JIMMYNOTPAUL on 8TH AUGUST 2017 7:26 AM

     

     

    I was at Rugby Park and Gordon Marshalls time wasting from the first minute was a disgrace. He said afterwards and I’m paraphrasing I wasn’t going to make it easy for them. However he had never wasted so much so early in any other game. When he was goalie coach at Motherwell, Dundee or Hearts, I can’t remember which team it was, I have to be honest and say I booed him every time during their warm ups. He is up there with Judas and Jim Melrose, in my opinion.

     

     

    *never a Celtic goalie, what was Liam Brady thinking of in signing him a former hun youth player fae falkirk tae, 6 minutes tae go and Charlie Nick puts us in front in the LC Final, 2 minutes later larry marshall contrives tae spill the ball at wan cell’s, another hun reject, feet. As for the penalties, never tried for any of them, no even a kid on dive.

     

     

    He also managed tae pull down chauncey at the edge of the box in a game against them with the scores tied.

     

     

    That final is one of the worst days in my Celtic supporting life, raith managed by one of the duo that would have another Fife team lay down at the same venue 9 years later had the home dressing-room as well as being granted a training session the morning before on the pitch, also the players found a bag of studs that were right for the surface, left by the bigot kit man, oh aye and were supported by the same politician that gave bader and the black north demagogue knighthoods.

    Hot Smoked @ 3.59…in 2012 when it was all starting to unravel, the goblin’s source for his exclusives was none other than Ramsey Smith at Media House, the hun’s PR people…

  20. Calderwood is the epitome of a Hun manager he would kiss any )( and sell his own for that job, and I don’t think I’d be going out on a limb saying he tossed games to thems, because as sure as sheet sticks to a goats )( that’s exactly what he done. Cheating little stuttering ….wit

  21. I’ve just announced….

     

    ….that it is my preference………………

     

    to have as first choice……

     

    …….Chicken Carbonara….the night,

     

    for my tea!

     

     

    I can confirm only that, as yet, the missus……is yet to respond further than to state that

     

    ……………. a Chicken-based meal is in theory possible, this evening.

     

     

    *message ends*

  22. New bar owner asks his barman why it’s so empty. He tells him, “It’s Thursday. Big Bobo comes in on a Thursday”

     

     

    “Is that right? We’ll see about that. I’ll get a team round the now, and we’ll sort this!”

     

     

    They all sit at the tables, waiting. Next thing, the door comes off the hinges as the owner sees his enforcers flee at the sight of the new arrival, who walks up to the bar, demands a bottle of whisky, downs it, smashes the empty bottle against the gantry, and demands another one.

     

     

    As he’s about to finish it off, the terrified owner asks: “W-w-would you like another?” and gets the reply:

     

     

    “You feckin’ jokin’?? Big Bobo comes in on a Thursday!”

  23. The striking thing about the Jimmy Calderwood interview is that he is so thick he doesn’t realise that what he is saying is incriminating…

  24. weebobbycollins on

    Always remember Calderwood using first names when talking about hun players…wee nacho this and big davy that…

     

    My mild mannered friend at the beeb told me he came across as an orange barstool…
