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.

    The only change I expect to see in the Celtic team for tomorrow is Pukki coming in for the Banned Stokes the new midfielder on the bench. I expect a narrow hoops win.H.H.

    Fast woman and slow horses have been my downfall.

    Looks like McCuloch was right. Teams playing in blue at Ibrox get penalties in the top league and they also get penalties in the third tier… No difference at all really…..

    HAIL! HAIL!

    Well done on your 9 posts in a row on a new article. Thats probably a record as a first 9 but nowhere near a record for consecutive posts as history tells that I managed 15 one Saturday afternoon… I think it was soal who stopped me when 20 was on the horizon

  13. tommytwiststommyturns on

    Making a big pot of chillie and jumping back into living room to watch Channel 4 racing and then SSN….would have been better off staying in the kitchen and cooking something else! :-(

     

     

    But there’s always next Saturday….!!

    apparently Barney Curley was involved in a massive gamble during the week on 4 horses he used to own,those involved won the best part of £2 million

  15. Hamiltontim is praying for Oscar on

    Joey Barton standing between the presenter and David James on BT sports looks as if he’s trying to sell them a dodgy motor.
