The second half last night will be remember for the fact that right back Mikael Lustig came within the width of the crossbar of scoring a hat-trick, while left back Emilio Izaguirre also hit the crossbar – and was caught offside in the centre forward position. The movement and energy levels required for this type of performance cannot be overestimated.
Adam Matthews’ goal on Saturday, when he burst a lung to cover half the field and get on the end of a move as it developed on the opposite wing, is another example of how physically taxing playing for Celtic is right now. And just as importantly, how taxing it is to play against them.
Motherwell competed as best they could before hitting the wall and capitulating.
Kano
I knew the minutes’ applause for Kano was coming last night, but it was a hard moment nonetheless. Sannabhoy read a letter at halftime from Martin’s wife, Carolyn, explaining the family’s appreciation for what the Celtic family did for them.
It’s appropriate for us to return our respect to Kano’s family, and to Sannabhoy and his Kano Foundation colleagues. They got the charity work ball rolling for so many of us. They gave us the opportunity to aspire to become better people.
There’s a link at the bottom of the article to sign-up for CQN11, where the work to build another school kitchen in Malawi goes on. You are part of an incredible community. Be there.
Just a brief note on Honest Dave King’s recent claims. He will become a director of newco Rangers in the event the forthcoming EGM votes him so. I’ve no doubt he will be able to find a NomAd to work with him, not all have the same standards, allowing the company to retain its listed status with him as a director.
It is also true that the SFA cannot stop him becoming a director. They do not have a Fit and Proper test, they have fit and proper criteria, which directorial appointments are measured against after they are appointed.
Despite all we’ve seen in come out of Hampden over the last few years, I would be amazed if the SFA board approved a tax convict and former director of a club which broke tax law, player registration rules and went into liquidation. It’s not even a remotely tenable suggestion.
After the event, the SFA would be in a position to penalise newco Rangers – most probably through a fine – and instruct them to dismiss King. King, of course, has all the humility and self-awareness required to apologise and resign without a fuss. There’s no way he would use his well-marshalled media campaign to try what Craig Whyte and Charles Green did before him – play to the gallery, blame all his ills on an ‘anti-Rangers’ conspiracy.
Note how the media campaign is rolling out King comment and press releases as definitive news, not subjective claims. Note also that Easdale press releases are being covered by the media, but that pantomime-hate figure, Jack Irvine, is being attributed as the source.
Note that Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias are saying nothing. They’re just going about their business. You don’t need crystal balls to see how this one is going to end.
CQN11 St Patrick’s Day Dinner Dance is on Friday 13 March, at the Kerrydale Suite, Celtic Park. The focus of an excellent night’s entertainment will be funding the construction of a kitchen at Chibwata Primary School in Malawi, for Mary’s Meals.

HH the Celtic foundation.
MND does not take account of the football team that the sufferer supports/plays for so neither should we.
Hopefully the donation will be taken in the spirit it was given.
It is gestures such as this that makes me proud to be a Celtic supporter.

Spot on,mate.
Terrible thing to suffer from. I expect the donation will be welcome.
As will mine.

Have you checked your junk mail?
I’ve got experience wi your email set up!
Oh and a very happy birthday weekend to you!
The hover pitch article was linked in a tweet by Phil yesterday. A real classic by Andy McInnes in the Express in Jan 2001. Note the irony of the anticipated completion year. Sorry can’t do a link
2008 I meant
Happy birthday to Hamiltontim, hope it’s a good one -)))
The SFA should have allowed The Celtic Foundation to present the donation to Ricksen before the Semi Final kick off – it may have toned down any aggressive atmosphere

I wonder whether Minty will now make a donation of £20,000.

Quick coffee break scroll back and apologies for the slight delay in my 7AM announcement arriving. It was 7.00 when I pressed “post” ;-)

I think I’ve uncovered the reason for your mild tardiness. From BBC scotland:
A team of Scottish scientists has made light travel slower than the speed of light.
They sent photons – individual particles of light – through a special mask. It changed the photons’ shape – and slowed them to less than light speed.
The photons remained travelling at the lower speed even when they returned to free space. Photons were shown to reach the ” line” at different times
The experiment is likely to alter how science looks at light.
That’s more than enuff to frazzle my wee heid!!!
HH jamesgang
====================================================
So Sevco may already have been liquidated , its just that the light (photons) haven’t reached us yet due them having gone thru the “special mask” i.e. crap, which slowed them down.

Sorry to be a nuisance, but that is the address I have used.
This will get them on the list :

Give me one day. I’ll try to find out where I can get them.
From hunmedia regarding the news Celtic have donated £10’000 to the Fernando Ricksen charity match.
“It all counts i guess but their filthy taig money will need exchanged for good,clean notes”.
On a more sinister note from hunmedia, someone tweeted a zombie joke about FD and they have now published his name, address and photograph with instructions to go get him and go to town on him.
huns will be huns.

Cheers pal. No nothing in junk either.

Sorry about that. Try this one hamiltontim88@yahoo.co.uk
Mmmm. What was that I was saying about hoping they would take it “in the spirit in which it was intended”.
Some just want to stay in the gutter.
Cheers Bobby.

Sorry, who’s FD .
By the way what they wouldn’t give for some “filthy taig money”.
Deluded does not even begin to describe it. The quicker they vaporise the better.

Soundtracks only? Or you are looking for more from these guys, I mean Komeda , Trzaskowski, who composed music for films.
Do we know if Stuart Armstong wants to join Celtic?
If he does we should be pushing the boat out and reach a suitable compromise with Dundee Utd – at his age this boy will have a resale value even if he doesn’t quite live up to expectations in the hoops. Low risk, potentially massive signing for the future, and puts a marker down that we want to keep good players in the league.

Is FD meant to be Fernando Ricksen?
If so it’s in poor taste but whoever has published the offending poster’s details with exhortations of “going to town on him” should be prosecuted.
Serious violence is likely to ensue.

I hope ole Fernando the Commando is handed the cheque personally. He should make sure it isn’t ‘processed’ through Sevco or else he’ll end up with thruppence ha’penny and a used Commando book. If he’s lucky.
Office hun upon hearing that Celtic are making a £10k donation is seething. I give up on this muppet. Beyond redemption.

No, the post was on rm
I don’t worry too much about huns beating up huns as I have been the recipient of their thuggery on a number of occasions.
Does that make me a bad person?
I like the look of Stuart Armstrong but we need to be careful here. I see people advocating to just go and get him at 3 million.
For me, 3 million quid is a lot of money for a boy who has played well, but not outstandingly so, in the SPL.
I’d reckon you could get pretty much anyone in the Scotland squad for about 3 million quid and young Armstrong is not deemed good enough yet.
I appreciate he is 22 but 3 million is a lot of cash
I see Ryan Mc Gowan is back in town. Good solid R B capped 12 times for Australia. Hope Celtic go for him.
