In a few hours time I shall be twenty-seven grand years of age. Paradoxically it will be a happy enough birthday; perhaps that’s because I am free in spirit. I can offer no other reason.
I was at Mass today, and saw all the lads minus their beards, etc. An American priest said Mass and I went to Communion. One of the lads collapsed before Mass, but he’s all right now. Another was taken out to Musgrave military hospital. These are regular occurrences.
I am 60.8 kgs today, and have no medical complaints.
I received another note from my sister Bernie and her boyfriend. It does my heart good to hear from her. I got the Irish News today, which carried some adverts in support of the hunger-strike.
There is a stand-by doctor who examined me at the weekend, a young man whose name I did not know up until now. Little friendly Dr Ross has been the doctor. He was also the doctor during the last hunger-strike.
Dr Emerson is, they say, down with the ‘flu… Dr Ross, although friendly, is in my opinion also an examiner of people’s minds. Which reminds me, they haven’t asked me to see a psychiatrist yet. No doubt they will yet, but I won’t see him for I am mentally stable, probably more so than he.
I read some wild-life articles in various papers, which indeed brought back memories of the once-upon-a-time budding ornithologist! It was a bright pleasant afternoon today and it is a calm evening. It is surprising what even the confined eyes and ears can discover.
I am awaiting the lark, for spring is all but upon us. How I listened to that lark when I was in H-5, and watched a pair of chaffinches which arrived in February. Now lying on what indeed is my death bed, I still listen even to the black crows.

I anticipate a quicker transition through the midfield into attacking positions with CalMac not being there. A little less pointing and a little more action… flak jacket on! 🫣
We need to at least turn up in, if not completely dominate, both halves of this match. And a quick start, with the first goal for us 🙏 will make for a less stressful day!
🤞🇳🇬🎉

To work Celtic fo your best and work for that victory
I do not think its 4 at the back think we are going to defend further up the pitch with 5 in the middle, if Scales is Left Back he is too slow turning.
Mvuka on the bench, Balikwisha carrying the kit bags, Iheanaco fetching the drinks for the subs…

I’m glad am not in a ASU with some on here. Are we up for the fight or what?

Lightweight midfield, will be a struggle to get anything today..
Have we prioritised the league?
ziggydoc1 on
Can’t see Scales at left back, especially with Sarrachi available.

Not overly impressed with the midfield.Guns strongest area,against our now weakest.Would it have been too much to think outside the box for once?.A 4-4-2 to try and compensate.Midfield
Hatate,,,,,,Sarrachi,,,,,,,Nygren,,,,,,,Aurajo.
They will go for the throat here.Hatate man marked whole game.Who will take over.Not Nygren,Mc Cowan????????.
LAFAN, but two pass-and-movers and a silent assassin in the middle will hopefully yield more forward than sideways motion and engineer more opportunities to strike the target.
I hope Tounekti actually tries to go past the defender(s) a few times today rather than turning and passing backwards. And he needs to tune in to the modern day practise of taking over every time he feels even the lightest contact. All the other teams do it (and usually benefit from it) against us. Time to play them at their own game!

Looks like the team was drawn from a hat. At least Rohl will have been caught out by that lineup.
Good luck, in a away I’m glad I am working and will only see snippets.
Good luck Bhoys.
DeniaBhoy on
A lot worse teams than ours have gone there this season and got a result. You never know.
DeniaBhoy, word from the dressing rooms is that Rohl is desperately reconfiguring his magnetic tactics board as we speak! 😂

A bit concerned about our defensive capabilities with a lightweight midfield ‘protecting’ our defence . But then I’m always concerned facing the hun . Something I can’t control . Only exception being the ‘demolition derby’ days when neither they nor their refs could lay a glove on us .

Getting Liverpool updates as well Paul 67 😜
Wow, very worried about that line up. Who’s going to win the ball?
Oh dear. If Calmac is out for a while I fear season is f*cked

If you have a direct line to divine intervention thank you
Glad MON’s resting McGregor, Tierney and Schmeichel. Time for the newbies to shine the Scottish Cup.
We are about to find out how much Calmac is pivotal to what we do
Sionnagh, have you been possessed by a bot?
Adamu starts last week, not in the squad this week
I’d have felt more comfortable with a defence of:
Araujo Arthur Scales Saracchi
I anticipate a quicker transition through the midfield into attacking positions with CalMac not being there. A little less pointing and a little more action… flak jacket on! 🫣

Dessybhoy,
If it was Sarrachi at LB,I could see that.
What a day for Luke to step up and shine !!!!

Back 3…
Word from the away dressing room is that Barnardo, Cvancara, Saracchi, Ox-Ch and Forrest are the nominated penalty takers.
C’mon the HOOPS
