Albion Rovers did as much as could be asked of them yesterday. They defended solidly, conceding only to an impossible to defend strike from Player of the Year-designate Scott Sinclair, until the final 13 minutes of the game.
A lazy observation would conclude that it was tiredness which caused the part-timers to lose two late goals, but that wasn’t the case. Patrick Roberts ability to draw opponents close, before exploiting the space behind them changed a 0-1 score into a 0-3 result. Without Roberts, we would have continued to pass in an arc around the Rovers defensive pyramid.
A home draw in the next round was as welcome as it was unexpected – what happens, I suppose, when a good Celtic man gets to draw the balls. Rod Stewart proved he is the complete entertainer as he brought colour to what is too often a soulless procedure. When presenting to the public, some forget football THEY ARE EMPLOYED in an entertainment industry.
Having already spent a reasonable amount of money this month, the normal January anxiety is contained to the permanently anxious, but, as you know, transfer windows are all about the last few days. We’re still working. Usual caveats apply.

Your position is noted.
Once the Welsh Flame (Does she sing like Bonnie Tyler?) confirms when you are flying let me know. In the interim I will work on a double room between say 24th and 28th – If the dates change you can let me know but I will block it off.
Spent part of the day converting old slides of Lisbon 67 into digital format – Jeez I am so looking forward to this and I can hear and feel the ghosts packing their bags to come with me!
Bloody Brilliant!

Many thanks for the kind birthday wishes folks this really is a very special wee community. Sadly, most of my night will be taken up with school work.
Ps if there are any members of the Celtic Trust who haven’t received an email from me regarding subscription fees can you please contact me at hamiltontim88@yahoo.co.uk
HT,
Happy birthday,glad you enjoyed Dublin,
even better that you could afford to visit it ;-)),
if you dont mind me asking,did i read on the blog that the Minx is a dental nurse,
if so did she ever work for Cadden in Partick
Back down to that Media City tomorrow, a pit stop before a trade show in London.
Me and the lhad will be out in town on a Wednesday sourcing a pub for the game, we will find one, I am based too far away from his normal haunt of the West London CSC which is a bummer as it is good crack in there.
Hopefully back in time for our home game on Sunday.
Take care everyone, there are a few on here with personal worries and a few with things to celebrate. Hopefully they will find comfort and pleasure with friends and family.

Scottish and Irish connections to the Deep South are fascinating.
I always get the impression that the basis of country music was from influences imported by the Scots and Irish .
The fiddle in particular .
Presley and Everley .
Even Jim Bowie . Of knife fame .

Summa.
Sorry to hear your news.
All the best , mate.
Incidentally , it turns out that your immediate response to the Melbourne tragedy was spot on.

” One of the merry band of revisionists hilariously referred to “alternate facts” as if it is possible to reinterpret cold hard empirical evidence. ”
=============================================================
Please specify . What precisely is the “cold hard empirical evidence ” to which you refer.
What is hilarious is your revisionism.
” Alternative ” not “alternate.”

Billy was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living.
All the typical answers came out, Fireman, Policeman, Salesman, Mason, Captain of Industry, etc., but Billy was uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.
“My father is an exotic dancer in a gay club and takes all his clothes off in front of other men.
Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he’ll go out with a man, rent a cheap hotel room and let them sleep with him”.
The teacher quickly set the other children some work and took little Billy aside to ask him if that was true.
“No”, said Billy, “He plays football for The Rangers, but I was just too embarrassed to say so”.
