Neil Lennon will begin to get his players back at Lennoxtown tomorrow after, what for most of the first team, has been a two week international break. For many of the established players, he’ll be hoping for a clean bill of health, but with trips to Tynecastle and Milan ahead, the manager will be keen to spend time with Teemu Pukki.
Teemu played 92 minutes for Finland in Tbilisi last night so will get little time on the training fields before Celtic’s next two games. Tynecastle itself may provide the most effective training opportunity ahead of Wednesday’s game at the San Siro.
Delighted for Gordon Strachan, who has already caused an unlikely upturn in Scotland’s fortunes. He is a better coach and tactician than he ever got credit for. His Key Performance Indicators (winning leagues, knock out stages of the Champions League) were achieved in spades, but there was a soft underbelly which always seemed to undermine progress. Curiously, his Celtic team went 15 months without keeping a clean sheet away from home in all competitions, despite winning the league in both seasons this run spanned.
The one game during this period of note was the 1-0 defeat to Milan in the Champions League knock out stage; the only game Celtic completed 90 minutes without conceding. If Neil Lennon can replicate this achievement he stands an excellent chance of a second successive memorable Champions League campaign.

Refrained, – they are hurting so bad it’s no even safe for the Hoopy the Huddlehound.

The dug obviously brought it on itself!
bournesrecipe
to be honest i said the same thing when shaun scored last night
he lost the ball at the edge of the box which led to the equalizer and a few minutes before that he was too greedy inside their box when he shot past the post instead of passing it ten yards to bannan who was in acres of space right in front of goal
though i can say it without foamin at the mouth and without a twisted growl on my face :-)

I remember only too clearly when the anthem I have referred to was sung with great gusto by our neighbours. It was widely believed to be the source of the Tarriers put-down.
Never heard Andy Cameron’s justification for the term. Not really convinced that we were being insulted because some of us worked with the Roads Department.
No matter.
Take your pick.( As in Road Dept.)

Interesting answers, I’m always interested where words come from.
They sing some vile songs that’s for sure, now most Irish when they went to America did their bit in the civil war to get Citizenship.
Criminals did most of the roads.

*aye no bad, got tendonitis in the shoulder so I’m getting physio twice a week, got a nice wee part timer as overnight cashier in a local supermarket, max 24 hours a week. Heard last night that the VP who was the reason I took early retirement got the tin tack, had a nice wee chardonnay to celebrate that.
Mrs. TT had her birthday yesterday woke her with tea and toast and a nice wee rendition of “when I’m 64”. I reminded her that she was only 36 when Big Jock died, we were over on holiday and I watched it with my da in the Doghouse.
All the grandweans were up last night so I took off for the KoC.

Apologies posted before I finished…
Guess like most insulting words it doesn’t matter where they came from, it’s the venom and abuse that is inherent in these terms that’s the point.
It was just an ironic reflection on a post where Rangers supporters were raging against been dehumanised, accused of being deluded and bigoted that they used such language.

As Phil rightly said about NI loyalists..’they are terrified of equality’. The same applies in Scotland but to a lesser extent.

The emptyheads are probably trying to discover if the dug went to a faith school.

Talking of dugs…mate of mine in Helensburgh took his dog for a walk just after the last ever Celtic- Rangers game. He wandered round towards a hun pub where about 8 of them stood smoking outside, raging after the 3-0 defeat. In a moment of devilment my mate launched the dog’s ball from 50 yards away toward the pub crowd. As it landed amongst them his faithful Rottweiller raced at the men, doing 100mph. The look of terror on their faces soon turned to anger when he shouted..’Lubo Lubo, here bhoy!!’

Whilst we’re on the subject of dugs, Hail Hail Paddy, he wore the Hoops!

Overheard from same Sevconian, same train, same conversation “Shaun Maloney got himself out of jail with that free kick”

Read your post from FF
Obviously I thought it was just the usual self-pitying garbage from the Truth Deniers. And then I thought. 32 years ago I worked in a financial institution in Glasgow. All my bosses were fine egg chasing men with a healthy disrepect for those baptised in the Roman church. Now after all these years I am back in Glasgow working in a financial institution. My boss is an RC , so is his boss. He’ll there’s even an Irish fella who wears a crucifix. The Truth Deniers are right. It is a conspiracy.

i didnt say shaun was lucky. i said he got himself out of jail a bit
i wasnt overly concerned about the game or score but i was well pleased he scored when he did because of the two things i mentioned and to stop huns and sheep blamin him for scotland not winning
Micktt @ 19;16,
Very loosely, knew a chap, director of a Company got fed up with the pot holes in hid parking space.
MD refused to get it repaired.
So outsourcing said contract to a couple of travelling men
Came into work on the Monday the hole carpark loosely tarmaced.
His MD got choice to pay £££§§£ for the refurbishment or loose his building.
The poor guy had, loosely speaking a brand new Car Parking space but no job.
