Scott Brown was not the only one was briefly worried about Neil Lennon’s position in recent months. Neil has never particularly hidden his desire to work in England one day but when it became evident that there would be a few seats available in the English top flight, with the Everton job in particular becoming available, I am sure there were a few nervous twitches.
As and when Neil decides he is going to move on, Celtic will want to have a plan for succession in place, if not entirely executed. In May, when Neil was fielding questions about moving on, I doubt any succession planning had taken place. Some at the club would have been looking forward to a summer break and some player trading. The prospect of finding a new manager, with all the inherent consequences for trading, preseason planning and Champions League qualification, would have caused mild panic.
Always be prepared.

Bliss – waking up early on a Sunday and catching up on the major sports news in Scotland and spend a couple of hours laughing at the zombies charging the zombies 99p to watching a video of the Zombus. Very amusing!
Even more bliss, remembering the square steak sausages and auld’s rolls bought for brunch…
Torture – going to the cupboard and seeing TWO HP brown sauce bottles with dregs in them, however with the help of a drop or two of vinegar manage to salvage enough for 1 roll, put ketchup on the other (I’ll try and make confession during the week).
Canamalar – although not entirely convinced on your questions for the board (I prefer to keep it simple – but understand and appreciate your reasons wanting to remove wriggle room), Your proposal is infinitely better than doing nothing. How is your plan progressing?
I’d like to help if you still require numbers, I’ll drop you an email.
Anyway, back to lurking & laughing.

Santiago, Chile. The military are on the streets today and alcohol has been banned.
Why? – elections. Not even real elections, just primaries for a presidential election in November.
And get this: men and women vote in different voting centres. Men and women vote in DIFFERENT VOTING CENTRES!
I have half a bottle of wine left from last night, it will have to do.

Now I know why the board have abandoned the green and white hoops in favour if green and white stripes:
Many guys want to express their style with more than just solid colors, but they worry about bold patterns seeming a little over the top. With such a dilemma, stripes are the perfect solution. As popular as ever, stripes serve as a good compromise by staying conservative while allowing their wearer to separate himself from the masses clad in solid white or blue shirts.
The above was lifted from the askmen website. I thought of asking in here for thoughts on the change from traditional but decided against it on the grounds that sycophants from the 40 to 70yr old age group with bellies as big as their mooths and think that they look the bees knees in green and white hoops or stripes aren’t really that a discerning group when it comes choosing a wee bit of fashion that suits them

Not that ten seconds although that would be good. Excluding the Lions…
It could be one one of two ten secs from a Monday night in May 1979 – when big Roy gleefully followed the ball into the Rangers net for a Colin Jackson OG to put ten men Celtic 3-2 in the lead or then Murdo’s screamer in the last few minutes to wrap up the title. What a night that was!
But it’s not those ten seconds either.
Biggest cheer of the day at Silverstone as fans celebrate Sebastian Vettel’s retirement from the race, the nearest brit racer is Button in seventh.
Go figure.
The wheels on the bus go round & round
The pies in the oven were nice & brown
As the Sevco bus rolled into town
For a Ramsdens cup tie
The bus was something to behold
The best bus in the world I,m told
WATP in letters bold
headrests & a carpet
The satnav told them where to go
Just in case they didnae know
As long as the oven was turned down low
It didnae use much petrol
Then the sudden hand of fate
The tax disc had gone out of date
The huns don,t pay the going rate
So the bus was then impounded
The wheels on the bus go round no more
Theres a clamp on the wheel by the drivers door
The pies in the oven ain,t hot no more
But that won,t worry Sally

I remember watching the BBC news around 2006ish and they were talking about Andy Murray beating Roger Federer. Unfortunately the picture in the background was of David Murray. I did have a wee snigger to myself.
You know,it must be hell to have such a loathing of your fellow Celtic fans.

My hun mates tell me their favourite goal was Davie Cooper against us at Hampden-I was there,and it was a cracker.
I take a great delight in telling them my favourite goal was scored by Colin Jackson.

Somebody asked recently why UEFA has awarded co-efficiency points to ‘Rangers’ for 2012/13. This is how I responded to my bluenose Facebook mate by way of explanation;
“UEFA have added Rangers co- efficiency points for 2012/13 on to the previous 4 years this confirming that as far as they are concerned rangers are the same club”. So I was assured on a post up above…….but……it’s just another lie manufactured by the dead club and its fans to hide the fact that Rangers FC were liquidated.
If anyone cares to check UEFA’s co-efficiency rules, plus the list of co-efficient points awarded to all European clubs over the past 5 years, http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/club/index.html they will discover that Rangers are indeed on the list and had co-efficient points added for 2012/13 (0.860 to be precise), but those 0.860 points are simply the national association co-efficient points awarded to all Scottish clubs who were on UEFA’s list for last season, so for example 0.860 points were also awarded to Aberdeen, Falkirk and Queen of the South. 0.860 points were also awarded to Hearts, Motherwell, Dundee Utd and St Johnstone, who in total earned 2.360, 2.360, 1.860 and 1.360 respectively by virtue of their European adventures. Celtic also received those 0.860 points, the national association co-efficient for Scottish clubs, but eclipsed that in some style by amassing a whopping 16 points thanks to their excellent Champions League campaign, giving them an overall total of 16.860. A brief explanation of each country’s national co-efficient is described on UEFA’s website:
Coefficient calculation
Clubs’ coefficients are determined by the sum of all points won in the previous five years, plus 20% of the association coefficient over the same period (33% before 2009).
A more detailed explanation of how the points are calculated is also available on UEFA’s website.
How does that prove UEFA don’t see Rangers as the same club? Well it doesn’t on its own, but then consider the award of co-efficiency points to FC Unirea Urzicena of Romania (no 107 on UEFA’s list), who received the Romanian national association co-efficient points of 1.360 for season 2012/13 despite being dissolved at the end of the 2010/11 season and never ever playing a game thereafter! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Unirea_Urziceni In other words, UEFA dishes out co-efficient points to those clubs who have played in Europe in the previous 5 years even if they’ve since become defunct, such as Unirea and Rangers. Rangers will remain on UEFA’s list for the next few seasons but will then disappear from it altogether. They will still continue to receive the number of national association co-efficient points awarded to all Scottish clubs on the list until they drop off that list. If and when The Rangers qualify for European competition in the future, it is highly likely that they will be treated in the same way as Derry City, a club who similarly went bust and who are now treated by UEFA as a brand new club, and rightly so.
Why is this important? Well, because The Rangers would have us believe that UEFA have confirmed that they are the same club as the old one that was liquidated, by virtue of awarding them co-efficient points for season 2012/13. That blatant lie has now been well and truly debunked, but it doesn’t end there, because The Rangers have also persuaded other organisations (such as the ASA) that UEFA has indicated they are the old club by virtue of the co-efficient points award shown on UEFA’s website. Considering FIFA has already said on its website that Rangers FC were liquidated, much of their claims to be the old club have started to unravel recently, with pretty much only the ECA (who?) still sticking up for them out of the long list of organisations who allegedly previously supported the ‘same club’ argument.

Rangers go under
14 June
Rangers’ perilous financial position had been an open secret but there was still shock when, after 140 years of history and a world record 54 league titles, the club was consigned to liquidation in mid-June. The Glasgow giants were subsequently reformed as a new company and granted entry to the Third Division, Scotland’s fourth tier, which they currently lead by nine points with a game in hand.

Lennyt after cover for Izzy. Behrang Safri sure Johann and Lustig could swing it.
I have not read the Burley article, don’t get the Papers. Nor do I intend reading it if it is put up. However, what I would say is that he has got the reaction he had wanted and hoped for from what I read here and on Twitter.
Do what I do and ignore him and his ilk. PL @ NL are fit for him, they will not miss him.

Only time I was on yesterday was while lurking in my daughter’s house so hadn’t the chance of posting, couldnae remember my password.
Anyway just tae add this morning before heading out tae Holy Mass, Jim, I was thinking about you when I woke on Friday morning, due to the time difference I figured you would be in OL&SM, probably the chapel you were baptised in, 1st Holy Communion and Confirmation, I know it was for meand right next tae your primary school.
I was pleased, if that’s the right word, to read that the ceremony went well, not the easiest of times especially since your parents passing was not that long ago.
Hopefully through time you will manage to get by but right now must be tough, I also hope that your youngest daughter takes that trip and gets away for a bit.
Horrible time for you right now but if what we believe in is true Moira will be in a happier place now, pain free as well.
