Priceless Maeda

195

I had a conversation a week ago along the lines of, “Daizen gives us lots of running, but not much else.” A player with speed as his most potent weapon is stifled against Scottish opposition.

Putting the ball in the net is the best counter to that concern. A player who produces a hat trick when his team mates most need him is priceless.

More of the same, Daizen.

    Good for you Jimmy, keep backing those phantom winners! #guffaw

     

    ……………………

     

     

    OH DEAR…. I managed to place a WINNING ” PHANTOM” Bet on the Chelsea v Newcastle match.

     

    The CORRECT Score was 3 – 2 to Chelsea…..and I backed it.

     

    I watched the match from my PHANTOM living room, and on my PHANTOM TV.

     

     

    I looked at my Bookies account a few minutes ago, and somehow the Bookies MESSED UP… as they Paid me out in REAL CASH….NOT Phantom Cash !

     

     

    Whit are those Bookies like ?

    My health is reasonably good Mate…Thank you.

     

    Give my best wishes to the Little Drummer Bhoy.

     

    I hope to see you real soon for several Beers.

     

     

    As for ” CHELTENHAM” ?

     

    Ive Placed several ” ANTEPOST” Bets in recent weeks, and its my favourite Racing week of the year.

     

     

    Its a Race meeting that can throw up many surprise results as there has been many a HOT FAVOURITE getting beaten by some OBSCURE Irish Horse at BIG ODDS, that none of us in the UK have even considered ?

     

    It can be a Mine Field trying to pick winners…but I am certainly having a right good bash !

     

    All the best BELMONT to you and the Family.

     

    See you AFTER Cheltenham…

     

     

    HH Mate.

    ………………

     

    When I first saw THAT PIC pf the Celtic players standing/looking around, I i immediately thought that it could have made a good ” SPOT THE BALL” Competition ?

     

    Then again, maybe not ?

     

    LOL

     

     

    HH Mate.

  5. BELMONTBRIAN on 11TH MARCH 2024 9:50 PM

     

    ………….

     

    I meant to add re Cheltenham…

     

    Aside from my many ANTEPOST Bets, I will be having other Bets on each individual day also, as SOMETIMES the Jockeys/Trainers, Pundits on TV and/or in the Racing Post will give out some of their ” Fancies” for Racing on THAT particular day, which MAY lead me to Punt a few more Quid ?

     

     

    I also do several PLACE POT Bets on each individual day, which can mean that I am betting on some Horses that are BIG PRICES….Just to get a Place ?

     

     

    Its great fun…IF I lose a few Quid over the FOUR DAYS….it doesnt matter but its good to get a ” Run” for your money ?

     

    Tell your friends, they MAY like it ?

     

    LOL

    Agree re getting the international breather being a good thing.

     

     

    Hatate back, CCV better and maybe Cal fit for a ten game sprint to the double.

     

     

    We just need any kind of win on Saturday and it’s all to play for.

     

     

    That lot reckon they are a stick on for a treble already and maybe even a quadruple !

     

     

    It would be the best ever to burst their bubble.

    Ashley was indeed.

     

     

    Back in the day.

     

     

    Of course married a huge Celtic supporter and global superstar. Dario Franchetti.

     

     

    He won the Indy500 3 times.

     

     

    Dario went on the European trips in early MON era. I remember Munich specifically in 2003.

  8. The Blogger Formerly Known As GM on

    Just saw the draw.

     

     

    As we know Hearts seem unable/unwilling to perform against thems so my first thought was that’s probably the easiest tie they could have gotten as both Celtic and Aberdeen would be try 100%.

     

     

    Having said that, it’s a cup semi/knock out football, not a game in a league where Hearts are pretty much guaranteed 3rd place and can afford to have the odd, er, off day. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to up their game.

     

     

    From our point of view it’s the best we could have wished for. It will still be difficult and much will depend on who is available for selection.

  9. Hello Cqn

     

    If you have a minute this morning think of Brian Nugent aka woodhousedog who la being laid to rest this morning from St Bride Cambuslang at 10am

    Interesting move by Hibs. They must either be very confident in their financial position or be expecting an influx of new fans to fill the seats that would have been taken by the away support. As far as I can tell they can’t fill their stadium under the existing arrangements so like Hearts, they seem willing to lose the revenue.

     

     

    In any case, halving the number of huns in your stadium will only half the number of people chanting sectarian bile. It will not stop it.

    AT,

     

     

    I think his monicker was Whitedoghunch. All the best.

     

     

     

    Kelvinbhoy from last night – thanks 👍

     

    Yes, I definitely recommend the letter writing to a loved one.

  13. Majestic Hartson on

    Re Hibs,

     

     

    What is the deal? The BBC headline stared ‘old firm’ fans were being banned, yet having now read the article it states ‘away’ fans.

     

     

    I’m sure on here it was mentioned as Rangers fans.

  14. MH

     

     

    You are correct mate

     

    Was thinking that after posting

     

    WDH.

    Re Hibs,

    I’m sure on here it was mentioned as Rangers fans.

     

     

    ________________________________________________________________________________

     

     

    As we are all too well aware there cannot be any criticism or condemnation of ‘Ra Rangers’ supporters unless they are lumped in with the ‘Old Firm’ or it seems ‘away supporters’ or in Europe those pesky Atalanta supporters. On another point it is surely a laugh out loud moment that this ‘ban’ or reduced allocation does not include Hearts supporters, who I assume have never in all their visits to Easter Road indulged in any abhorrent behaviour as outlined below!

     

     

    ‘The Leith club, who stress that the reduced allocation does not include games with derby rivals Heart of Midlothian, stated: “Whether that be through the use of pyrotechnics, sectarianism, objects being thrown onto the field of play, or through other actions, this is simply not good enough.

     

     

    The Maroon pound, sir? Thanks very much

    They have a American whose group have invested in a number of clubs in the UK and Europe, think he bought 25%

  17. When you have luck on your side especially if you have help from certain organisations eventually it runs out ,same as you have bad luck .

  18. Prestonpans bhoys on

    Should have added that Hibs have a cheek complaining about crowd behaviour considering what happened at their last Derby 🙈🙉🙊

  19. Has it been confirmed that we will play in the first semi on the Saturday? Are they waiting to see if the huns go through against Benfica, which would see them play on the Thursday before the semi (and then on the Sunday)? Of course, if Benfica go through, be huns will want the Saturday semi🤔

    More than 2 strips in one season is ridiculous imo.

     

     

    More fool folks who buy them.

     

     

    I do have sympathy with parents getting pestered but I think it cheapens the whole thing with even 2 annual releases.

  22. Majestic Hartson on

    McPhail Bhoy,

     

     

    Thanks for the reply. I’m not sure if they are reducing our numbers due to Rangers fans singing and lumping us all together.

     

     

    I think it’s potentially more to do with some of the songs we sing too. I’ve had a heated discussion with a work colleague/mate as he accused us of singing sectarian songs – pro IRA and anti hun songs.

     

     

    We can discuss the semantics of these songs all day long but unfortunately that’s how (some) others in my experience see them.

  23. Tom McLaughlin on

    If Rangers beat Benfica on Thursday they face a Europa League quarter-final 2nd leg on Thursday 18th April, which means their Scottish Cup semi-final MUST be played on Sunday 21st, leaving Saturday 20th to Celtic v Aberdeen.

     

     

    Bonum ab adversis

  24. Big Jimmy on 12th March 2024 5:51 am

     

     

    Well done to you Jimmy,

     

     

    Give us your predictions for Cheltenham today.

     

     

    Before they cross the winning post of course.

    CELTIC MAC

     

    New Celtic Tops?

     

    New Adidas Tops more like

     

     

    Exactly.

     

     

    Just because Adidas pay Celtic £6m a year they think it gives them the right to put their logo on our jerseys.
