I know what you are worried about after last night’s Scotland performance, “He’s going to throw James Forrest in now.” My feeling on the matter is that James, Callum and Kieran all need to ‘work on their fitness’ a bit.
Since managing Scotland for a few months in 2007, a period that included a 0-1 win in Paris, Alex McLeish has been found out in five subsequent appointments, ending ignominiously in North Africa. He has the look of what he is, a man earning enough to make good on a tax bill that recently came his way, and nothing else. Nice gig if you can get it. He also selects players who are banned for life from the national team.
Scotland have the players to beat the 94th team in the world but were not sufficiently competent to fix up a manager who already lives in the country but manages in Belfast, or conduct an adequate search for an alternative.
The result of this, is that fans stopped caring, as do many players, by the look of it. I don’t know a single person who was upset last night, the Scotland international football fascination is over. The once great endeavour of football as a self-contained unit in Scotland is over, everybody knows it. Send our players back to Lennoxtown as soon as possible, please.

Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd were my bands till The Clash appeared. Life changer was White Man in Hammersmith Palais.
Clash City Rocker CSC
===========================================
Delaneys ,
knew about those bands but had never heard them until later on .
Then came punk , wow ! Saw all the main punk bands over the yrs and had the
privilege to see the clash do white man at the Apollo , best venue ever for a gig .
Saw plenty great acts over the years , but punk for me still the best especially the
the stranglers……… no more heroes anymore. ………
Big Packy!!!!!!!! GRRRRRR!!!!!
Alex/c Duthart was the lead drummer with Shotts & Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band. Away back in the 70s when I used to buy Sounds magazine there were adverts for Premier Drums (I think) it would list all the famous drummers of the day from the charts. But always included Alex – a pipe band drummer! He was so well thought of across the music world. By everyone.
Aaaahhh Roadhouse Blues!!!
Fantastic. Some outstanding musical memories on here tonight, Pop-pickers!
CQN at its Friday night best.
Good evening all from the laurieston bar. Musical memories is it? Slade, Electric Gardens, 1971. Top that ya loonies. ??
And it was the Radio 1 roadshow. ?
DD…august 1968 we were working together in glasgow. The foreman sent us back to the office for repeatedly messing about. We were spoken to by the big boss…and we could go back to work so long as frankie cut his hair… “nae chance!” he said. “Then you’re sacked!”…To me…”Do you agree he should get his hair cut?”
“Well, no! It’s up to him.”
“Then you’re sacked too….A few weeks later I left home and would be gone for the next 20 years…funny old world…
Even though I’m on the naughty step again ?
Brilliant blog tonight ???
??????
WTF was that article by Willie Wallace all about?
Hmmmmm.
I said to Aidan there was talk of a boycott of Murrayfield, he told me to get tickets. With 30000 mini huns – I think it will be better going by train this Time.
I can’t remember from our visits there but are we in the same section behind the goals – N e w S? .
BP-DD- A long story, I won a competition to go to LA for the American Music Awards, limos everywhere, business class flights, met Donny Osmond,,Justin Timberlake (Nsync),Debbie Harry, the great Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach, Bhoy George…..it was mental
PETEC-WW was out of order
Lyndsey Buckingham & Fleetwood mack have fallen out again. That is a real shame. This is one of my favourite songs of all time. With him singing it:

Wispy Willie Wallace , I seem to remember , played a part in Tam Rogic signing for Celtic.
If he played a similar role in Arzani coming to us , then he may have a personal interest in the deal and in the welfare of the player.
Just speculation , but it may explain his surprising comments .
Assuming he has been quoted correctly.

Macjay, I too wondered about the Australian connection. But still, it doesn’t sound like him as far as I’ve heard of him.
Sounded more like the kind of thing I would say in the pub to some mates. But never put into print sober.
Some guys giving credence to what Willie allegedly said,……don’t buy the rags, and don’t let the hun press tarnish our legends
macjay1,
He slaughtered Tam as well.
Disney maks sense at all.
BADA BING-its on the Celtic star,and WC is his pal.WW wasn’t misquoted ?

Willie is 78 now from what I have read.
Parasites @ it methinks.
PETEC-brilliant,led me on to Celtic my Celtic ?
PETEC-he said it mate !why?
Just read the Evening Times report which has his comments in quotation marks.
Agreed , though . Perhaps Willie thought he was speaking off the record .
Or. Fake News . :-)
For me , Willie Wallace will always be a magical memory , even if the comments were quoted correctly .
Lived long in my memory .
Dukla. Celtic Park.
Free kick to Celtic.
Wee Bertie lines up and while bending down apparently to adjust the position of the ball , sidefoots it to Wispy who cracks it into the net.
Straight off the training ground.
PETEC- my dad 78 and would never talk about our manager or player like that?Strange so it is?
Back in an hour or so, possibly.
Tunes Time.
As I said

Nice post about Arzani, I actually agree with you by the winter break we have a decision to make on this boy.
Then you go and spoil it and show your true colours by suggesting it might be the Managers fault and not Peter Lawells fault.
The only way it can be Brendans fault is if the manager is being vindictive, so as you require proof of most poster’s can i ask the same?
What you would be saying is Brendan puts himself before that off our team even during a sticky patch.
So someone who has played 24 games in a league inferior to ours is in my opinion not ready or yet at the standard to replace the squad players we have. Simple really no mystery, he’s behind Lewis Morgan and how many minutes is he getting?
According to reports he’s not showing up great in development games, the ball is in Arzanis Court.
For the avoidance of doubt im backing the double treble winning manager. HH
MACJAY1-don’t you start assuming,that gets sftb aw bandy like:-))
My tuppence worth on music on my biannual post ?…
Fav bands / singers…
Bob Dylan, the doors, Floyd, ac/dc & U2 to name but a few but favourite album is still the Joshua tree. Said after the unforgettable fire that it would be hard to beat but next album knocked it out the park.
Anyways, back to lurkville.

Stranglers at The Apollo – awesome.
At the front of the Stalls, band playing “Sweden”, I looked back to find my cousin and could see the upper tier/circle swaying from side-to-side as people jumped about mental. Wasn’t surprised when it had to be knocked down a while later.
Can’t remember if it was that gig or another when they invited anyone from the audience to get up on the stage as they played Nice ‘n’ Sleazy. Lot of young ladies got up – you can imagine the rest…
:-)))
MACJAY1-he will get me back and back and back and back?
