Well, at least we don’t live in Spain, where tax fraud convicts are lauded like some sort of distorted victim if they have a connection to football. No one really expected Leonel Messi to go to prison, accountability in Spain isn’t that exacting, but he will have to live with a conviction for defrauding the tax system of millions of euros. A shameful act for one so wealthy.
I’ve always been a bit uncomfortable at the politicisation (from all sides) of the poppy and charities like Help for Heroes. Society has been poor at looking after its literal cannon fodder in the 100 years since the Somme, but flag wavers around these parts have imposed political sentiment on these charities which doesn’t exist elsewhere in the UK.
Four years on from the infamous Rangers-Milan legends supposed charity match, James Doleman’s article yesterday, on the unauthorised use of Help for Heroes logos on t-shirts, gives us more to ponder. It’s impossible to damage a brand which is already at junk value, but activity like this makes it difficult for all good causes to make their appeals.

Cristiano Ronaldo is now the joint-highest scorer in European Championship history level with Michel Platini
Goodnight Vienna
Good evening, long time listener first time caller. Been putting this off for months but finally taken the plunge and decided to actually register on the site. Have to say the musings of the regulars have helped my daily commute to work for a long time. Hail Hail
That is the killer 2-0

A try and a conversion and Wales will be fine.
Not looking good now.
Itscalledthemalvinas,
why the dislike of the Welsh
Sorry Voguepunter, my last post was meant in reply to you. HH
UEFA has said Albanian champions Skenderbeu will be replaced in the Champions League by runners-up Partizani Tirana after being found guilty of match-fixing.
The development comes after a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling (today) upheld Skenderbeu’s expulsion from the qualifying rounds.
It isn’t the first thing most of us think of when we think of CR7’s skills …. but, honestly, is there a better header of the ball in football?!
ah, well…. there goes my CQNPredictor…. guess I have to come back to work tomorrow, after all. :(
Sorry to all you Scots but I will leave you with one simple question – if the famine had not been brought about by the English, would Celtic exist today?
Welcome Small Hill Tim.
If you’re not a hun pick your clique
Hail, Hail to you.
Germany or France will hump Portugal CSC

Let’s be having your battle cries and lullabies and a wee touch of humour would go down well.

Are you a hun:-)
P.s Welcome

No offence taken, just can’t take to the welsh. I know a few and they always support England in any tournament they play.
And av got draw-portugal at 19/4 with a tenner on it.
Small Hill Tim: Croeso/Fáilte/Fàilte/Welcome
Thanks for the welcomes. I’ll ease myself in gently, don’t want to rock the boat too soon.
Rodgers out!
Joe Ledley’s beard substituted
Just had to post this!
Check out the BBC Sport Tennis site for the last shot of the match.
As Andy takes the cheers a punter waves the Saltire wearing a Celtic Cap!
It’s a good omen I tell you!

Looking again at Cristiano’s header he was heading the ball from above the height of the bar, incredible athleticism.
Superb Scullybhoy, that shut them up!! HH
Can’t help thinking Belgium was Wales’ cup final
Foxy,
If you’re born in Scotland, you’re Scottish. Celtic were born in Scotland.
Nobody is denying our Irish heritage.
HH.
GORDYBHOy
Just found them very pro-brit. They are right behind Wales in this tournament but if they weren’t there they would support England before Scotland or Ireland

My mum (RIP) was from Caldercruix – she always sait it was “huntiegout” – no idea the background or spelling.
In Plains, we just went out four our Halloween – got nothing without a song / joke / act.
Very interesting post. The phrase I know is “huntiegowk” as in “hunt the gowk” gowk being a foolish person or cuckoo. My father would use it when he fooled us on April Fool’s day.
Welcome Small Hill Tim, HH.
There will be no dancing in the streets of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

You missed oot a G .
Celtic always have been, always will be a Scottish Club, with Irish roots. I’m sure the Boston Celtics would always see themselves as an American team, with Irish roots.
VP
I’ll take your word for it.
Any idea when Celts will play ties v Gibraltar boys?
Small Hill Tim.
Welcome and enjoy.
Tony Donnelly is just back his holidays and in all that time Hamilton Tim hasn’t posted.
If you ever spot the two of them in the same room give me a shout. :-)))))))
