The Guardian did an excellent piece on Wednesday on how referees in various European territories would view the penalty box wrestling of the Juventus players. In short, there is a variance in how these offences are punished. Who knew?
Juventus knew. I hear they watched four videos of referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco ahead of the Celtic game.
You have to admire their thoroughness. They had a plan to combat Celtic and needed to know if the referee would let them away with it. Gone are the days when someone at Juve would simply pick up the phone and ‘ask’. The danger from Celtic was known, illegal holding would nullify this danger and watching a few videos established what players would get away with.
It’s no longer sufficient to scout your opponents, if you want an edge in this game, scout the referee too.
Every day’s a school day.
I hear from a good contact that a journalist who recently departed the media for a job in the lower leagues once wanted to be a bit of a Jungle Jim. Apparently he was keen to ditch his industry for a job at Celtic back in the 90s. What an escape!
On Friday 1 March the Lisbon Lions will be at the Kerrydale Suite providing commentary and answering questions on their magnificent European Cup final win in 1967. This has never happened in 46 years since that game, to say it is a unique opportunity fails to tell the whole story.
The event is part of our 125 4 125 campaign – central to reinvigorating the charitable spirit which is part of the club we love. It will be a family occasions, tickets are available at £10 for adults and £5 for children. The night has been organised by several fans working in conjunction with the people at Celtic Charity, so please do your best to support this great occasion. Individual tickets or tables are available, details here.

Diabetics ‘r us! Join the club!.
Sorry to hear you have diabetes also, It is a bit of a hassle at times, like Tuesday night, that was a hassle for me. I took some tablet form medicine then went to bed, but I also have the hassle of sleeping with a mask at night, and that can be a bigger pain for me, than the diabetes. I stop breathing 80-90 times in a night, that’s scary at times.

One guess only, if you are first to get the right answer you will get 5 bonus pts
Clue 1: Born in 1966, I signed professional terms with Celtic in 1983
Clue 2: I made my first team debut in 1986 at home to Queens Park, setting up both goals
Clue 3: I was sent off in a cup final, but allowed to stay on the park 7pts

Reading some of the reaction to the Green articles on the forums. Must stress RFC are NOT looking to join Belgian/Dutch football
Or an alternative: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVlTaUwEuH0
Equal points for both.

I Went to the football every week with him, he was the most fidgety
man to drive the car I ever met when we set off for the game the first thing he’d do was rake about for whatever CD he wanted to play, sometimes his head would be under the dashboard looking for a disc, once he got on the motorway, He’d take out his roll-ups and start rolling a cigarette, no hands on the wheel but he did use his knee’s to steer a bit. I was a nervous wreck the first couple of times I was in the car, but soon got used to it.
Cheers CRC. I am not bitter. I will rise like a phoenix and achieve mediocrity one day. It is only due to the collapsing attendances at the quiz these days that I have finished last. I think if we turned it into a new format, say three leagues of four and regional play offs from now on then I could be in a play of place at the top of the bottom league and in line for a big pay day.

World Record holders apparently
Although I think an organisation planing a museum after 9 months would definitely constitute another world record and merit another star on the badge

They could display boots, shirts n tickets from the cups they had been pumped oot in the last few months………
