Reason to hope for the remaining fixtures

175

The anticipated return to action of Reo Hatate is a reminder of the dangers with international breaks, which starkly contrasts to this particular break.  Reo has been out injured since being on Asian Cup duty with Japan in January.  He is now at Lennoxtown, with Kyogo (out of the international picture, bizarrely) and Daizen Maeda (as Japan’s game against North Korea was cancelled).

Callum McGregor is my regular concern at these times, but the captain misses out, another recuperating, as is Cameron Carter-Vickers, who was omitted from the USA squad by agreement.  So too is CCV’s central defensive partner, Liam Scales.

Alistair Johnston came through Canada’s win over Trinidad & Tobago at the weekend, leaving Brendan Rodgers with the rarest weeks to train, practice and build fitness among his regular starters.

This is normal for many Premiership clubs during international breaks.  Players who need rest, get it, those who would benefit from endurance or fitness training, can indulge.  If you are looking for positive indications for the remaining figures, this is it.

Eurochamps67, Alex McKillop’s Funeral Mass is at St Peter’s Hamilton (ML3 8LL) at 10:00 on Wednesday 3 April, an hour later at South Lanarkshire Crematorium (G72 0TL) and thereafter at Carrigan’s in Blantyre (G72 9RN).  Alex made friends on here for close to 20 years, I know many will be there next week.

    Shankland had to be going to the huns in the summer.

     

     

    The SMSM hype him to the heavens.

  2. Shankland couldn’t kick his own arse against either the ‘Orange’ last week or the Orange An tonight – just like in the domestic game.

  3. Runrig at the Barriwland ,arguably the greatest experience fully clothed alongside BBJ at Liverpool Nakamura against Manure and the KOK chipping Klos.

     

     

    Memories.

  4. Apologies for the spelling and incorrect pronunciation.

     

    It’s the Chinese influence on my fone.

  5. Did big educated Bernard Ponsonby retire just before he got the chance to ask ask wee Hun ugly odious Krankie how she managed to carve out a £500,000 personal pension pot…when Scottish streets are full of…

     

     

    Gangs of rampaging Rats?

     

     

    Herds of man eating XL Bully Dogs?

     

     

    Countless thousands of fly tipped auld dubiously stained stinking mattresses here there and everywhere etc?

     

     

    Mabe big educated Ponsonby couldny get the time to ask his real boss wee Krankie why it is that countless thousands of good folk who did the right thing and got mRNA microchips injected into them in case they would kill Granny with ahem…the flu?…are now dead themselves or are treated like anti vaxx lepers because of their vaxx injuries? 👀️

     

     

    And streets filled with thousands of Industrial Union strikers?

     

     

    Countless thousands of Scottish Women on the verge of losing their right to be a Woman?

     

     

    ….etc.

     

     

    Ah mean as STV…..ahem…Political Editor shouldn’t Big Educated Ponsonby have at least been asking all of the above before Krankie hud tae resign in shame?

     

     

    He must’ve forgot or couldny remember…jist like wee odious Krankie used tae forget and couldny remember how many auld folk she murdered and said it was c19 that did it. 👀️

     

     

    Celtic fans used to be of the know how that it was much better for the Celtic soul to be seen to be getting as far away from anything to do with the Scottish national team as possible. 👀️

     

     

    Since the brainwashing began in the mid 1980’s when Souness turned Rangers into an English leaning club…wee Timmy joined the Tartan army a few years later…when the late Tommy Burns [RIP] joined the Scottish management team of Walter and Ally…and after the scathing attack that TB gave the SFA in his book [Twists and Turns] less than a couple of years earlier I felt a shiver run across my face as though someone had walked across my grave when it was announced ‘gleefully’ on the news that TB had joined the SFA. 👀️

     

     

    Tonight when the N.I. fans called Scots fans “Tartan Trannies” then you get a sense of the descent of where the Celtic soul lies in tatters. 👀️

     

     

    The vast majority of Tims became Scottish Nationalists…brainwashed by the big Alex and wee Krankie machine. 👀️

     

     

    The deep thinking face of MON seen in several pictures at the Celtic Foundation [Bourgie Bourgie Bash] the other day there….said it all.

     

     

    MON just 20 years ago told you all crucially just before season book renewal day 2004, that the “Slow Lane”…Lawwell grifter show now had a foothold in the club…and the fans did…Zero, Zilch, Nada, 60,000 loyal Lawwellists sold the park out. 👀️

     

     

    20 years down the road and MON knows that Celtic fans are at best…pale shadows of what he was told they were way back in 2000 when he started his fine old Revolution.

     

     

    No Celtic manager apart from MON has deviated from his duties to tell fans that the then incoming in 2004 Lawwell regime was not on your side.

     

     

    The main response from 2004 Celtic fans – “MON is a long ball dinosaur…get rid.” 👀️

     

     

    Just look at MON’s ashen faced pictures at the Foundation thing last week. 👀️

     

     

    Or maybe…DD and BR have planned to throw yet another PLC gift wrapped League title to the Huns…after MON campaigned so powerfully to have BR brought back to Celtic? 👀️

     

     

    PS Tik Tok got banned coz of whining from the ADL..its all over the internet go and look for it.

     

     

    ….oot.

    GMac being a fanny and throwing on a second ball as Greece were under pressure. Embarrassing.

     

    ………………

     

    A few weeks ago, I saw the HUN DESSERS do likewise when the opposition were about to launch a free kick. A spare ball came onto the Pitch and DESSERS kicked it at least TWICE in order to keep the ball on the Pitch, just as the opposition Player was about to commence his run up to take a free kick.

     

     

    It was obviously a Hun PLOY to prevent the opposition taking a relatively quick free kick.

     

     

    I watched this and HOPED that the REF would Book Dessers for his deliberate act ?

     

    In the old days, behaviour like that would result in a Player being BOOKED for ” UNGENTLEMANLY CONDUCT” ?

     

     

    Having said that, in RECENT games, I have seen Refs Yellow Card some Players for trying to prevent a Free Kick or a Throw In being taken quickly by the opposition.

     

     

    DESSERS couldnt help himself as he was ” sneakily” looking a bit sheepish, as IF he was hoping that no one ( Including the Ref) was watching him.

     

    The Ref did ” NOTHING” to Dessers….NOT even a word in his ear.

     

     

    Im sick of the Huns Cheating.

  9. The actress ” JENNIFER ANISTON” was born in February 1969, her Greek born Dad ( also an actor), had TELLY SAVALAS ( TVs KOJAK) as a close friend.

     

     

    TELLY SAVALAS became Jennifers ” GOD FATHER”.

     

     

    Not a lot of people know that…?

     

    Says MichaelCaine CFC.

     

    LOL

    Martin Crane born in Blackpool. Holy shit. Pleased to say, the excellent Frasier is still on every morning. As is, the even better Everybody loves Raymond

     

    ………………

     

     

    I have to strongly and respectively DISAGREE Mate.

     

     

    The Scripts and Acting in ” FRASIER” is just SUPERB.

     

    On the other hand ” Everybody loves Raymond” is BRUTAL. In almost EVERY Scene when someone walks into a house, the ” Characters” will say ” HEY” to each other.

     

    ” Everyone loves Raymond” is just ONE in a LONG LIST of UNFUNNY TV Shows that I have ever watched.

     

    ” FRASIER” is just Head and Shoulders ABOVE most other Comedy Shows” IMHO.

  11. Good morning all from a rain kashed, freezing 2 degree Garngad.

     

     

    Brrrrrrrrrrrrr

     

     

    4 more sleeps.

     

     

    Did all of our bhoys make it back safe with no injuries picked up on international duty?

     

     

    To be fair a player could travel all around the world and be fine but turn up at this joke of a pitch on Sunday 5 miles from Celtic Park and there is more of a chance on the player getting injured.

     

     

    Ps and Frasier is superb.

     

     

    Pps 2 more sleeps to I meet a bunch of maniacs in the Shippy.

     

     

    Have a good day and stay safe yall.

     

     

    D. :)

  12. Celtic Mac,

     

     

    Loved RunRigs version of Loch Lomond. Never seen the floor bounce so much. And yes I belted it out.

     

     

    I am aware of the narrative, but I thought Donnie Munro et al did it proud.

     

     

    When I’m home I frequently take the hound ( Bichon Frise ) down to Loch Lomond for a walk.

     

     

    Magical place.

    Good.

     

     

    International football out of the way for the rest of the season.

     

     

    Countdown to the weekend can begin.

  14. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Some idiot mouthpiece claiming Calum will struggle to get back into Scotland team.

     

     

    Now if he could just extend his prophecy to Calum not getting into the squad?

     

     

    I’d be happier.

  15. 1963: Jimmy Johnstone makes his competitive debut in a 6-0 league defeat at Kilmarnock.

     

     

    Four years later?

  16. “I was always an entertainer. The pitch was my stage, the whistle meant it was showtime.”
