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.

    Thanks for the postings from NTV. As a regular home and away during that period it makes me understand why I am mostly a happy clapper. God knows what CQN would have been like I’d it existed then.

     

     

    Ah memories….I remember being at a reserve celtic v sevco game at CP and celebrating outside when news of a late equaliser came through from the main game at Ibrox

     

     

    Look where we are now….I think some of the malcontents on here would rather we were back there though……………………………

     

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

     

    FYI,none of us would wish us to be where we were then. As per usual,you are talking utter pish in order to make a point.

     

     

    Problem is that your point itself is utter pish.

     

     

    Go on,back up your point. I’ve got all night.

  6. PF,

     

     

    As i said in my email, I was certain I would be OK due to the CNY.

     

    Never for a second did i see the Japanese meetings happening.

     

     

    Still annoyed.

     

     

    HT,

     

     

    shut it!

     

     

    :-)

  7. TootingTim supports Wee Oscar on

    Not sure if posted already : –

     

     

    Hannover 96 were fined by UEFA for a smoke flare thingummy and for a fan running on the pitch.

     

     

    They ID’d the 2 guys, took them to court wanting their money – judge agrees with club, fans to pay 50% of fine.

  8. Players reactions suggesting that Oviedo’s injury is a bad one.

     

     

    Horrible to see that.

    TTT

     

     

    I’m only expressing disappointment because I’d love to at last meet you for real :-)

    T3, being a total lightweight I’ll be home in bed by 6.

    Aye and we’re only meeting at half 5 :-)

  11. Was working today but as usual i tried to have a look to see what was goin on and after reading Paul’s latest article i then started to scroll through the posts.

     

    My heart starting pounding a bit faster when i saw Ryecatcher’s run of posts and thought…..this is surely going to be a record!

     

    Can anyone stop him?

     

    But then i had a laugh out loud moment at Big Georges Fan Club – Hail, Hail, Wee Oscar’s perfect(perhaps not from Ryecatcher’s point of view)timing.

     

     

    Funny moment that….well it was for me! :)

     

     

    Something we may never know……would we have spotted Ryecatcher running past our windows with arms aloft and his top pulled over his head?

  13. Frank on Shortbread gave fat Sally the verbal assassination with some aplomb…well done Frank!

  14. Hamiltontim is praying for Oscar on

    What have Fireman Sam, Postman Pat and Bob the Builder all got in common?

     

     

    They’ve all played against the Huns this year.

  15. Michael Stewart following up Frank’s character assasination on McCoist by giving him a volley ….. No strategy, the side looks un coached

     

     

    Bravo Michael
