Playing with an eye on your next gig, bold use of Latin

845

I don’t like playing games when players have transfer or contract business swirling around the dressing room.  Give a team an excuse to underperform and they tend to grab it, so I expect a difficult challenge at Easter Road tomorrow.  If we want to maintain our unbeaten run and two month old clean sheet record we’ll need to bring our A game.

Neil Lennon’s comments at yesterday’s media conference, about potentially dropping players who plan to leave in the summer, point in this direction.  Few manage to perform with an eye on their next gig.

Well done to the new regime at Newco Rangers who used Latin in their stock market announcement yesterday.  There was no “ex-gratia” payment to resigning director, Brian Stockbridge, who instead had his contract paid up.

Paying Stockbridge in full is hardly a money saver but with him not around it will sweeten the medicine others will have to take and allow a fresh angle to be pitched to supporters at season ticket renewal time.  Let’s hope their manager sticks to his contractual guns.

Daily Record columnist, Chris Sutton, has today made the case for Neil Lennon to leave Celtic and move to England.  Nice one, Chris.  If you hand around long enough to get to see it all.

    BT has invited us to the KOSC for the game tomorrow.

     

    And strangely RCs wife finds you good looking.

     

    I blame the drink.

  2. There’s far too much bonhomie on the blog.

     

    Our antipodean friends need a glass of what

     

    we are drinking.

    Another two goals for Tony Watt. Genuinely believe he has a chance to become a top class centre forward. Come on Lenny, can we not just recall him now?

     

     

    HH!

  4. We had a wee discussion about Tony Watt today.

     

    A young guy with massive potential to be a Celtic great.

     

    I seriously hope he’s not sitting in a pub 20 years from now

     

    having done nothing with his life

     

    saying ‘remember the goal i scored against Barcelona’.

     

    But if he is it was his choice.

    From the start, Burn’s birl and rhythm,

     

    That tongue that Ulster Scots brought wi’ them

     

    And stick to still in Country Antrim

     

    Was in my ear.

     

    From east of Bann it westered in

     

    On the Derry air.

     

    …..

     

    Old men and women getting crabbed

     

    Would hark like dogs who’d seen a rabbit,

     

    Then straighten, stare and have a stab at

     

    Standard Habbie:

     

    Custom never staled their habit

     

    O’ quotin’ Rabbie.

     

    …..

     

    For Rabbie’s free and Rabbie’s big,

     

    His stanza may be tight and trig

     

    But once he sets the sail and rig

     

    Away he goes

     

    Like Tam-O-Shanter o’er the brig

     

    Where no one follows….

  7. Lostinbonnybridge,

    May I just say that Alistair McCoist MBE (not yet, I know but give him time) is doing a fantastic job at newclub and I hope he continues his work with even newer club and even mair newer club after that until such times as his fabulous captain elbows Mcculloch can tell us, with authority, that there is nae difference between the pub league that even mair newer club is playing in and the premier league.

    Absolutely agree with you. That would be a tragedy. I have a feeling Tony realises that he has a point to prove. Lenny has advised him during this transfer window that he needsto stay in Belgium and mature. It must be difficult for a youngster like Tony with the language, culture and lifestyle change but it looks as if he has stepped up to the challenge. He has scored a fair few goals since December. I would love him to come back to Celtic Park and be the success we all want him to be.

  10. SOAL,

     

     

    ??????

     

     

    WG? Not knowing a question re Celtic????

     

    Glad im already sitting down!

     

     

    Must be because the huns were involved…

     

     

    BTW NAFOS in Coopers Bar. WTF is that all aboot?

     

    I will assume you 2 have left him on his own?

     

     

    HAIL! HAIL!

  11. SOAL,

    REALLY hope that tony watt comes back with his head screwed on.

     

     

    At the risk of being flippant sending me to the home of Belgian beer wouldn’t be the way to keep me on the straight and narrow!!!
