Yesterday I caught myself moaning about potentially winning the league without playing a game (epitome of first world problems). How quickly we forget the pain of the 90s. Let’s bring the title home as soon as possible, no matter where we are or what we’re doing. There could be people doing the Ronny Roar in shopping streets across Scotland on Saturday.
The one place Ronny will not be doing the Ronny Roar is out shopping, though. This time of year managers’ weekends are fully booked: one day for the game, one day scouting at another game. With a game on the Friday night Ronny will be able to take in games on Saturday and Sunday. Scouting opportunities before the end of the season are limited, so he’ll value the extra day.
A year ago Hibs asked to allow their season ticket holders into a play-off game for free – there’s your rule. The opportunity to deny another club the same has gone. Faux indignation about not even asking permission doesn’t register with me.
Club sponsor Magners have offered us a pair of premium tickets to the Jock Stein Stand for Friday’s game. All you need to do to win is send me an email with the name of the team we play in the SUBJECT line of your email. Competition closes at 9pm tonight (Wednesday), so not a lot of time.
If you would like to do something enormously constructive while entering the competition, you could always donate £1 (or more if you like) to our Mary’s Meals school kitchen appeal, which you can do right here. Many thanks.

BRTH,
Excellent post re drugs.
Another point from the 80’s.
The Tories denied there was a drug problem in Scotland, then, as you said, AIDS hit.
Instead of providing new funding for drug services they took money from the existing health budget.

Mr Pastry
I can’t provide any reports or information, I can only go with my own personal experiences.
The fact is, people have been taking mind altering substances since forever. If people want drugs they’ll get them. There is many millions of recreational drug users who’s lives are not destroyed, of course, alcohol is much more of a killer in this country than drugs but a Prohibitionist attitude doesn’t work.
Because drugs are sold on the black market they are unsafe and fund all kinds of other criminal activity. As I said, people take drugs. They need to be regulated and made safe.
In my opinion of course.
BRTH
Well said, your last sentence/statement is my credo……thanks for the Rome tips, all going well, have tweeted a reply.

Please don’t think I’m being flippant. Quite the reverse. It’s a horrific problem with impossible challenges.
Neither blanket bans nor blanket decriminalisation have ever been shown to work.

I agree 100%. Just take a look at how the Dutch deal with marijuana. But like alcohol, there will always be people who abuse it.
Indonesia, Laos, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, all have what many people would describe as draconian penalties for drug trafficking. Generally in those countries you will face the death penalty if caught. All of these countries make known the penalties for drug smuggling and if you’re not smuggling drugs you have nothing to fear.
The rules are blatant and notorious regards drug smuggling in the above countries. Most of these countries flag airlines give you one last warning before disembarking the plane, what happens next depends on what you decide to do.
Ronny has twin daughters, so it must be a DOUBLE confirmation.
See what I did there?
HH!!

Indeed. My generation went daft for the Ectos. Now there was all walks of life into it in the 90’s and fun times were had. However there was many tragedies through people talking dodgy pills. This would be eliminated if it was regulated in my opinion.
I mean, we’ve not got potin factories all over the place have we?
Hun logic makes me smile.
Boycot the bassas!
Sales tank.
Evil bassas are closing shop and removing our presence at airport!
Another kick in the teeth from those conspiring against them.
Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan supports Oscar Knox, MacKenzie Furniss and anyone else who fights Neuroblastoma,
Excellent.
While I will have in a fit of pique from time to time, called for someone to be nutted (local anti-social behaviour). I cannot believe it is our responsibility to kill someone in cold blood, once found guilty.
Let the courts do their job. As you say, even that can be a difficult enough job to deny someone their liberty.

If Inverness win the cup and finish 3rd will the team in 4th get the euro place this season?
HH
Poitín factories even.
Geordie, yes.
Unless Campbell decides to give it to Sevco.
License problem? What license problem?

I agree, Herbo.
In addition to parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme what other herbs interest you? ;-))
Doc,
Lol. Cheers

They grow lovely coriander in Rotterdam;-)
Herbo
You forgot about Mint, Basil and Oregano.
Herbo
I noticed that when I was there.
Even better if the locals take a shine to you….then you can get, home grown Basil, Spinach, and my favourite…Mushrooms:)

Liam Henderson will be a great Celt one day.
FACT.
AND he appears to have a luvly burd.
Could that be why he is scoring?
Gerry
Bhoy with the Hoops on at the snooker…..;)
Has Liam started any games ? Coming on as a sub is what I’ve seen……

It’s my job mate.
Cooking that is not growing herbs :-)

Really good post mate and i hope your letter gets a satisfactory response.
The family idea is good mhate,overall i think in marketing terms, ticketing by tailoring to your match day experience is going to be the way forward and until you your back full STH
We could have a last 6 fixtures block,a block against the cheats only,etc.
just a thought :-)

A really worthwhile read.

Apparently Orville was left speechless after the death of Keith Harris.
On the upside………he was suddenly cured after years of constipation.
Ken Dodd Died.
Did he?
Naw Keith Harris.

The fact that heroin is sold only on the black market and is sometimes corrupted, doesn’t mean that if sold legally it couldn’t be bought by dealers’ ‘runners , corrupted and sold on at a cheaper price.
Also selling heroin legally does not make it any less addictive, or, life-destroying.
Alcohol is abused, and causes misery & heartache -however I submit that it would not be in the same league should heroin ever become available ‘over the counter’
21 years ago today,myself and Mrs J got married.
21 years ago tomorrow,John Collins left foot with the Predator boot on it
Despatched the ball into the then alive Rangers net.
My friends in Celtic,
There are many mitigating circumstances for some crimes, however in principle the punishment should fit the crime. If the public are at odds with a judicial system it encourages them to take the law into their own hands.
Is life without parole more draconian than the death sentence.?
To reitterate from earlier I can see both sides of the debate. I do worry though about miscarriages of justice.
HH.
Kit…,
Them countries have jails full of stitched up tourists who’ve had small amounts slipped into their possession to distract the customs from the real mules, their authorities are as corrupt as the SFA

You tell me that you’ve got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don’t get me, you don’t get me
You say you’ve seen Seven Wonders and your bird is green
But you can’t see me, you can’t see me
When your prized possessions start to weigh you down
Look in my direction, I’ll be ’round, I’ll be ’round
When your bird is broken will it bring you down
You may be awoken, I’ll be ’round, I’ll be ’round
You tell me that you’ve heard every sound there is
And your bird can swing
But you can’t hear me, you can’t hear me

My thoughts are the stadium is not full. I am trying to think of ways to fill it more. I am also trying to think of ways for Celtic supporters to feel part of the club.
I think it misses the boat this season but I think engaging with the club and suggesting things certainly lets the club know what the fans are thinking. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
Cheers for the feedback tho.
