The first reaction to the international break is never positive: “How many players do we have away and what condition will we get them back in?” The team which stopped the ten had more representatives at the 1998 World Cup than any other side (a remarkable achievement), but we caught a cold from these exploits the following season.
Leigh Griffiths would no doubt be delighted to start for Scotland this week. Representing your country is one of the things footballers look back on in their later years, so for his own sake, I hope Leigh gets the call, but for Celtic’s I’d be quite happy for him to have a quiet couple of weeks.
Griffiths, Scott Brown and Nir Bitton are precious commodities to Celtic right now, we can’t afford international mishaps for any of them. There’s better cover for the others who will be on international duty, but Stefan Johansen in particular looks like could do with a break.
You’ll know Packie Bonner’s autobiography, The Last Line, launches this month. Packie has a night at Walkabout in Glasgow on 29th October, where the big man will speak about his career, and many other things, past and contemporary. Tickets are available here.

Maria Sharapova?
She’s ok I suppose, but my favourite tennis player is Camila Giorgi.
Nice lass, and not a bad tennis player as well!
HH!!

Posted once previous to this today and got logged out automatically when iPhone went into sleep mode.
It’s a pain.
However thankfully I do not get all the ads on iPhone.
So mainly just stick to reading and scrolling past the less desirables daily.

“Sharapova can squeel and grunt like a pig with me anytime.
Hows about midnight on 10/10 doll?”

Think she might be dealing with droop shots rather than a firm service by that time on a Hootenanny night, mate!!
Maria Sharapova invites you for a drink.
That’s “Care in the Community” for you.
Another great Tory policy that worked out well.

What time is the hootinannie starting on Saturday,I’m going to the BV before hand B/T and I shall be having a couple before heading east to the main event.
Bourne, happy birthday. I hope you have had a good day.
I had a quick read of e time twitter there. They show a twitter conversation involving the sevco loving Caley fan, Matt Lindsey from the Evening Times. Lindsey says Leigh should not be first choice striker for Scotland. but Steven Fletcher should be. He then goes on Fletcher could score goals against, Dundee, Hamilton and Killie. It may be a coincidence him using dundee and hamilton , if you know what i mean.
Matt Lindsey , your bias is hunbelievable.

I will go back and read it again. Usually I edit the features before publishing. If it was the match report I didn’t but simply posted as I was on a rather noisey Tommy Gemmell Celtic Supporters bus at the time. I posted straight away in defence of Efe and I am a big fan of his.
I would have edited any OTT criticism out if for instance it was an away match and it was posted from home. We have a number of writers and one photographer.
I also dislike CQN now.

JOE F HAIRCUT,
that’s what I’m saying mate if they are talking to other managers then surely they must be considering RD’S future?
But as I was saying it has come from a reliable source that’s why I posted

230ish onwards,but no fixed time,bud.
You know me,always casual and relaxed about things. Just delighted to see anyone at all,and especially such as yourself and BT.
Which reminds me,I promised BT a favour. Ooooops,see y’all much later!
Btw,my Dad is dusting down his tales of yore especially for you. And JIMBO67,who despite his youth,seems to have been at every game since the war!!!

Hey! I’ve already done the new balls one!!
Play a let!
I hate international breaks/weeks, because Celtic are not playing, but I am really pissed-off this time as I will be unable to attend Saturday’s hootenanny and the Ayrshire Tims soiree on Thursday at the usual boozer in Ayr.
Was hoping to come over this week, and also spend some time with my wife n daughter!
Not to be.
Back for Christmas.

Mark Warburton has been installed as odds on favourite to win the treble this year.
Starting with the great British bake off then strictly and the x factor.
Got this from a reliable source so thought I should post it.
GAINSBOROUGH talks utter pish.
Fault! NATKNOW, Sorry.

GAVINSBHOY. Who says they are talking to other managers and how does anyone know ? In my opinion Ronny is doing a good job and will not be replaced unless he is thinking of walking away which I would doubt very much. So thats why I believe the article is nonsense. H.H.
Tallybhoy, further to your earlier post about Marc Reiper.
I agree Marc was terrific for us, a very good centre half and I would love someone like him in our defence now.
If he’s over for our games, he sits about ten seats away from us and is occasionally joined by big Greenock.

Cheers WC. There were a couple of articles on Efe and the opening paragraphs were like reading the Record. I appreciate that some will indeed want to be critical of Efe. For me, that’s fine on the blog. But the mag is a different matter. It’s presented as an alternative to other media. Appreciate your reply.
And yes for GAINSBOROUGH read GAVINSBHOY

Next time you see Marc Rieper, tell him I was asking for him!
I was born in Greenock btw.

Members of the IFA have said, so pish it may be but like I said was merely putting out there…. Part of the tic not the clique.

Who was it in the SMSM who came up with the notion of Warburton being in the frame for the Liverpool job? Nothing like trying to build up him and his world beaters. Daft isn’t the word. Ludicrous maybe a bit better.

Just got my notice to bring the car in for it’s NCT, 4am yes 4am. NCT is the MOT here.
Don’t know why there might be less posters here, maybe many reasons. Despite that I enjoy the articles and chat and think it is better venue than MSM etc.
Anyway off to pick up junior from training.

I’m quite sure that The Ayrshire Tims will hold their very own homecoming party for you,mate.
Disappointed I won’t see you,but heyho. You can always nip on a flight from Pisa to Dublin at Easter. I promise not to tell.
Meantime,that’s another glass to absent friends,a bloody conspiracy to get me blootered,this!
Tallybhoy, fine place is Greenock .
I shall rephrase my question posed at 16:30, since I haven’t noticed any response.
“Whit happened to the Commonwealth Games money?”.
Maria Sharapova’s drink bill or cargo of new balls does no constitute a valid anwer.
