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.

    That discretionary booking for over celebrating is the MIB favourite

     

     

    It is the most blatant example of anti CFC bias

  2. TET,

     

     

    it will all come crashing down eventually on many of them.

     

     

    as someone else said….and Winning Captain possibly alluded to, TV may drive change and we definitely have big appeal.

     

     

    HAIL! HAIL!

  3. The day that the game show tv z celeb gets his comeuppance can’t come quick enough for me, he represents all that is wrong in Scottish football a lying nasty coward who embraced the crooks and the spivvery while enriching himself at the same time,a man for all season’s or a more like a manager for all the wrong reasons. His time will be up soon good riddance to bad rubbish

    Couldn’t agree more , we as a Club should be asking questions every time the rules are applied differently to our players than to players at other clubs.

  7. Any of you enjoying Burns Night you have my best wishes.

     

     

    Never was a big thing in my family.

     

    Burns was as my Papa loved him and had books of his poetry.

     

    He was from Highland stock though.

    All the chat about Del Amitri and the Big Dish from last night put me in the mood.

     

    =================================================================

     

     

    What was the concert like?

     

    I had tickets but had to give them away.

     

    I would have liked to be there but hopefully they will tour next year.

  11. Jamesgang

     

    My daughter was at the Del amitri concert last night.

     

    Says they were suberb.

     

    ‘Nothing ever happens’ was out 24 years ago.

  12. Kilbowie Kelt will vote YES on

    ‘There is so much good in the worst of us,

     

    And so much bad in the best of us,

     

    That it ill becomes any of us

     

    To talk about the rest of us.’

     

     

    Thanks, Rabbie.

     

    You make me proud to have been born in your homeland,.. despite the fact that I am from a slightly different Celtic source, of which I am equally proud.

     

     

    Few human beings have been able to articulate the human condition as eloquently as you have done.

    Tony watt scores the nite yet again. But let’s sign Leigh griffiths for a million quid! F*** sake give him a chance Lenny fed up wi griffiths stories sure he has a so called bad attitude aswel.

    Probably the only time I’ve ever seen 22 Club players on the same field (at one time) that could genuinely be called World Class!

    Have to confess didn’t know it was on till I started reading the reviews hot off the press on CQN.

    Glad she enjoyed it. Where have all those years gone?!!?

  17. Del amitri were great last night. Played all the classics and so e good new stuff as well.

     

    Justin currie’ s voice superb live. First time at the hydro. Good venue.

    I don’t want any Celtic manager to command the media in the way The Cardigan and The Sleekit One do. I would prefer Celtic managers to command the media in the way that Jock Stein did. He spoke and they listened.

  19. Tatties Neeps & Haggis consumed, whisky (strathisla) sipped..lovely.

     

     

    Just wondered… Is there a European record for the number of penalties awarded to one team over a league season?

     

     

    I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Juve are the record holders but Newclub must be challenging hard!

     

     

    Any mad statisticians out there who know?

  20. Gordon64. Not really cos I’m seldom out! But that would be my local I suppose. Do tell, hoe did you locate me? Have I been microchipped by CQN?!?!

    I asked him that as well.

     

     

    It must be about 4 or 5 seasons I reckon, but hopefully mush sooner, it will happen at some point.

     

     

    He also said that Paul had been hinting, Paul said something the other day about the sfa benefiting from a partnership with their neighbours, that was a hint, just never paid any heed.

     

     

    Maybe the sfa realise they are done for, maybe they want to bail out before the sordid secrets come out, and it would have the backing of uefa and fifa, especially fifa who want rid of the sfa, the ni fa and the welsh fa, they would be delighted to have it under one umbrella, we will see.

    I was thinking .. second yellow would mean Rooney missing the game against celtic… so no chance of a sending off

  23. Hamiltontim is praying for Oscar on

    My folks had a restaurant at Charing Cross in the ’80s but they frequently had bands playing.

     

     

    Del Amitri were on often (him and my da got on great because of the Celtic connection!). The place got a mention on their first album but not sure if you can still get it as it was before they were famous! :-)

  24. jamesgang

     

    Not many boozers in your parish.

     

    Used to drink in the ‘Chimes’

     

    I have relations who still drink there.
