Place your bets on Supreme Court

419

I don’t think any of us regarded the possibility of playing a Champions League qualifier in San Marino next month as likely, but after La Fiorita left Belfast with only a single goal deficit, the prospect of playing the next round in an historically dubious territorial entity remains real.

Linfield were right to make provisions for the possibility of facing Celtic in the next round, but smiling executives and comments of making £1m on the tie is asking for it. The lesson for all of us is take care of the next game.

Football in June and July is a random lottery. We’ve learned this lesson often enough, but it’s worth reminding everyone again.

Yesterday we learned that the Supreme Court will publish its verdict on Rangers’ Big Tax Case next week. This one has had so many twists along the way it’s impossible to call. Whatever the outcome, there will be no surprise.

We may discover that Rangers tax affairs were not legal, not open to other clubs, and therefore bestowed an unfair sporting advantage. Or it may be that Income Tax was optional all those years. Place your bets.

    Watching the hun game the commentary is all about how great a deal the cockeyed one got!

    Simples mo chara.

     

     

    All about priorities. Always choose Celtic to win. Against anyone. In anything.

     

     

    All choose the full fat, reincarnated, zombies to lose over anything or anyone else.

     

     

    Glad I was able to clear that up for you!

    MIT,

     

     

    Trust a lawyer to ask a loaded question….eh?

     

     

    Linfield….to deprive them of the money they’re hoping to earn…..notwithstanding they’re a bunch of bigoted/sectarian bassas ;-))

     

     

    Then Sevco next round….just to strangle their hopes as it builds ;-))

    Like it. You cleverly negotiated MIT’s conundrum there.

    Brendan was quoted yesterday as saying …

     

    “If I get the next signing in then I’ll be really happy, ” he said. “It’ll give us real great power and strength and quality. Then we can push on and wait and see what becomes available. ”

     

    Not young Benyu obviously, but anyone have any idea who he might be referring to ?

    Linfield, because I have a bad feeling about the Belfast tie.

     

     

    I don’t care about the Govan proto-huns.

    Switched it off when the monkeys scored.

     

     

    I know that you go on ff and hun media like I can be guilty of but by feck the pish I’ve listened to in work lately thinking that all is falling into place for them is incredible.

     

     

    Still can’t get a monkey to bet on the league, giving them 4/1 as well, ton a whip.☘

     

     

    That would have been my Christmas presents bought and paid for this year. HH

    Probably nonsense but it’s doing the rounds.

    Liverpool bought him for £20m, they are willing to sell for £12m.

    some interesting answers ….

     

     

    Snake … I hope Maloney does well for Aberdeen …. I always liked him as a player … and, of course, I hope the dons finish ahead of the zombies again … in third … after Celtic and Hibs.

    No, credit where credit is due. I was trying to construct a reply that included both teams but didnae sound stoopit, but had given up…

    how would you answer your own question?

     

     

    We demand to know ;-))

    Me too. Like Wee Shaun. He’ll do well for them.

     

     

    Aberdeen appear to have a decent forward line replacing what they have lost and no way will they miss that Ryan Jack. He barely played and I’ve never noticed him in any match he played against us or anyone else. Shinnie and McLean are better players and with Tansey, Christie, Maloney and May to go with Rooney they can finish second again.

    My first experience of the oft-mentioned Parkville, Blantyre, earlier this week for a funeral purvey. Fair to say, not a straight forward shift for the staff as our chocolate box assortment of family and friends presented a different challenge. Much thanks for the respect and kindness shown to us.

    A call to ipad users – I’ve been using an old one, long cast aside by my folk, with no issues until last week. Since then, two links from the newsnow celtic page won’t complete any of their articles; videocelts and the celticblog. All the others remain fine, including CQN.

     

     

    The fail message is ” a secure connection could not be established.” Any info googled doesn’t correspond to the options in my settings so far.

    Lurkin ….

     

     

    It is a tough one …. for the safety of our fans, I would rather they not have to travel to Linfield … and, for me, the zombies are not R****s, but I still dislike their fans (horse shit, bull shit, it all smells the same) …. but if I had to choose one team to lose, it would be the zombies….

     

     

    Hunderbirds ….. no fiver for you!

  23. Heard on radio that Sevco game stopped for 3 minutes because away goalie pelted with missiles – got home and went to read about it on BBC football site – not mentioned……..
