I was a bit annoyed at BT’s halftime analysis which suggested Celtic were more than fortunate to be level at that stage. Salzburg had just enjoyed their best 15 minute period of the game, but, from beginning to end, Celtic’s performance was a textbook lesson on how to play away from home in Europe. We took our chances and drew our defensive line well in front of our box. This is how it’s done.
Were you as comfortable as I was during the final minutes last night?
Having watched the performance against Aberdeen on Saturday, when we bossed the game but were penned back when, with two debutants and a returning Scott Brown in the team, the legs faded in the last 30 minutes, I expected the same to happen last night.
Instead, Scott’s goal arrived on 60 minutes, which infused Celtic legs with adrenalin. This was the crucial moment of the game. We conceded that fabulous goal from Soriano during the final 30 minutes, but this was also our best period of the game. Wakaso (who is a player, b.t.w.) ran himself into the ground – literally. Brown, Johansen, Izaguirre and Ambrose all covered enormous areas of the pitch.
Instead of going through turmoil in the closing stages, we saw Salzburg drop deep, acknowledging the clear danger they could concede for a third time.
The one obvious question is, how did we pick Craig Gordon up for free?
Brand Britain
Brand Britain is damaged. Last night’s vote was a high water mark for independence, so far, but the demographic breakdown suggests support for change is strongest among the young. If the three major UK parties have any intention of maintaining the status quo they need to indulge in considerable Nation Building.
The football business in Britain is in the hands of two closed-shop cartels, one in England and Wales [controlled by the affluent], and one in Scotland [controlled by the unambitious]. This arrangement has disenfranchised Scottish football and drains our economy of tens of millions of pounds per year. It is a clear manifestation of second class status for Scotland and our economy, which is unacceptable for anyone who considers the UK to be one nation.
Politicians with an interest in pushing the buttons of the people, should use this time to call this arrangement out for what it is.

I hope you’re not suggesting that Police Scotland -set up by the SNP and given huge powers by the SNP -including swanning about with real guns in that notorious terrorist hell hole of Inverness-might be policing one group in our fair to society less stringently than others?
Kenny MacAskill would never sanction or allow that ! -would he?
Probably the fault of the GCC!

Doc – cycling
If you google Gorbals recycles, respoke cycle project in there at adelphi in Gorbals.
They will give you advice and your money should go a long way.
Cycling you may fancy a RACER conventional tour de france type bike.if you are thinking of miles and touring then go for this..good for road cycling
Or HYBRID/CROSS bike.where you have similar frame with similar tubing in handle bars which are mountain bike and not your
the classic racer type.tyres can be changed from slicks for road and a soft mountainbike tyre for rougher weather.
Or mountain bike.go anywhere on road,offroad anywhere.
Its all down to personal choice Doc, what do you want use it for.i personally had a hybrid then a mountain bike.the racing bike clothing put me off hehe.
The thing is whatever you choose once you feel your legs settle in and your breathing properly the miles zip by.
Great way to see country and out the way places.
Enjoy the hurl :-)

I get that young bhoy ✊
Seriously though , I voted Yes. Never voted SNP at an election ever, and don’t think I ever will. Always voted Labour but now seriously disillusioned with them , which I have been for a while.
Looks like SSP for me from now on.
I think Labour are the biggest losers in the Independence vote.

I don’t dislike many teams. But I don’t dislike many. But I don’t really like Motherwell – uncle phil apart.

It has just occurred to me that after asking for advice about going to the world pipe band champs , that I didn’t let you and the others who gave some tips know that we all had a smashing day.
Although the weather was truly dreadful it didn’t dampen what was a really happy and friendly day out
An Tearmann, thanks, it will be a road bike.
Miles on the road are what I’m looking for.
Off to google Gorbals bikes. Ta.

Yes, give them all-time, if this is a change of direction for us, we will need to be patient. Not sure about your thoughts on JC as our No 2.. I still have reservations about him.. his manner and attitude from previous (Hibs) still bothers me.
SOAL will like this……
Don’t ever search online for the cranberries and ano ……. You’ll be cooking for the next fortnight ha!
Sipsini, you,ve lost me. My missus is in her kip. It was my daughter who was hit by the car.

Respect to the Tail o’ the Bank.
We had Dumbarton and the Vale to help us.
Clydebank yes vote was huge.
Emdy see Big Vic’s reaction when he scored?
Looked like a guy who wasn’t happy with his surroundings
Love to see him back at CP
Also a comment on Paul Hartley
Without wishing to denigrate a guy who did a good job for us…
Was he offered Cardiff job, OR, asked if he wished to be considered for Cardiff job?
Big difference.
Night all.
Paradise beckons tomorrow
