Motherwell travel to Celtic Park tomorrow on a mission. A win would see them draw level with Celtic, and after a physically and mentally draining Champions League midweek game, they will fancy their chances. Inverness remain top of the league on goal difference, but this is the third consecutive season Motherwell have tucked in below Celtic. They will not finish above Celtic, of course, but this is likely to be our toughest test of the season.
As well as the result, there should be other objectives from tomorrow’s game. We are eight games into our European campaign but our two most expensive summer signings, Teemu Pukki and Derk Boerrigter, and still to settle into the team. Both should start against Motherwell.
For reasons you know too well, I thought it would be a good idea to do the Great Scottish Run on Sunday in aid of 1254125. I have (just) setup a Mydonate page, if you have been unable to participate in any event so far, you can do so online now.
Many thanks for your support.

I may be wrong, but it looks like the Big Hoose, like the big White one in the States has shut down.
No matches there in October, even postponing a possible money spinner (relatively speaking) versus the Pars.
As the mhan might say “Hmmmmmmmmmmmm…”.
Maybe the pesky Republicans have struck a blow?

Xhavez,
I couldn’t agree with you ore. There were a lot of people on here a couple of years ago praising Trinity to the skies. Couldn’t ever see it myself. Thought it might be becaus I wasn’t Irish.
===============================
Assuming you’re talking about the Leon Uris novel (I read back a couple of pages and couldn’t see the original post) I am Irish and I thought it was fairly simplistic. I would strongly recommend Walter Macken’s The Scorching Wind as a fictional account of the War of Independence and Ciivl War, although I don’t know how easy that would be to find. I also love A Star Called Henry by Roddy Doyle, or anything at all by James Plunkett (Strumpet City especially), although I’d be looking at these two through Dub-tinted specs.
Regards Leon Uris, Mila 18, about the Warsaw ghetto in WW2, remains one of the most moving and harrowing books I’ve ever read.

Howdy petec! Loved that track, and never let Kilmarnock spoil SoP for me – they used to play the SoP theme before the teams came out at Bugry Pk. Fantastic mix.

On books to read about Ireland,Strumpet city is far superior to Trinity. I’m a Belfast man,and nothing in the Uris book rings true at any time. The Year of the French is excellent. If you can dig out “As I Was Going Down Sackville Street” by Oliver St.John Gogarty it will give you a great taste of Dublin under the Brits and the characters in the city at that time. He is satirised in “Ulysses” as Stately Buck Mulligan. If you really want history as it was, then “The Big Fellow”, by Frank O’Connor, is possibly the best book written about Michael Collins.
tarrant,
Read Strumpet City long time ago. Great book. So too Uris’ Mila 18. Much much better than Trinity, which seemed to me to be simplistic, as you say.
RRC
Thanks mate………I’ve got a weekend project now :-)

raymac,
ever read Eureka St? Out about 1996, Robert McLiam Wilson? Not really a historical novel in the vein of Strumpet City or the others we’ve mentioned, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of Belfast-set literature (Joan Lingard doesn’t count), wondering what you thought of it as a native.

Listened to the Clayton Delaney track you posted. Good wee song :) Of course we are related, my Grandad used to say that all Delaney’s were related to one another :)

Recently, it has become clear that we lack a cutting edge in the team. It is my view that this a major reason for being the gallant loser after playing well. The failure to sign a consistent striker has already come back and bit us on the bum. We have brought in two players from the Dutch League with variable success, so far. Here is an analysis of the top 5 scorers in the Dutch League produced by someone with too much time on his hands.
Player Team Games Goals Assists Value(mi) Age pd/goal pd/goal
Finnbog’n Heerenveen 7 10 0 5.7 24 0.57 0.17
2012/13 23 24 0
Pelle Feyenoord 5 9 0 5.7 28 0.63 0.17
2012/13 22 25 0
Sigthorsson Ajax 7 5 0 4 23 0.80 0.33
2012/13 14 7 0
Tadic Twente 4 5 0 8.8 24 1.76 0.49
2012/13 18 13 0
Johansson Alkmaar 6 5 0 1.8 22 0.36 0.23
2012/13 5 3 0
Take Finnbogason, for example, the data shows that he has scored 10 goals in 7 games in the league(only) this season. He is valued at 5.7 million GBP. I invented a productivity or value ratio of the cost per goal scored—so Finbog cost 570,000 GBP per goal so far.
The second row shows Finbog’s performance last season and the final column is his value divided by total goals scored over two seasons so far(League only).
What does it all mean–probably very little in terms of how decisions are made, but, to my watery eye, it makes Johansson look good, given his age as well and future sell-on.

I must be getting elderly but the older the track and slower the ole Tempo is really getting me appreciative.
I’m not one to conform but is it linear like this, Life itself?
going out on a limb -rrc tárlá raymac – I’ve been trying to find out if there is any recent commentary/books on ‘the corporal killings’ from a republican perspective. I’ve been saving it up to ask óglach but haven’t seen him for a bit. I’m curious about the view of the situation now – any ideas
Wow! New to me, hours of pleasure await.
Sounds very similar to the intro to the Pogues’ The Body of an American – it isn’t the same, but it made me admire, again, Shane McGowan; his deep knowledge of Irish music and the cultural touchstones referenced throughout his writing always seems to surprise those who think he’s just a plastic paddy drunkard. (Usually it’s actual plastic paddy drunkards that think this and are surprised.)

petec, is life linear? I look at my kids and my parents and I think not…I remember when I had no kids and didn’t think about my parents, and I didn’t think so then. It’s too complex to be an arrow. It’s all in the spirals, it’s all in the maths; it’s in all the maths.

Here’s a track with more beats, which I didn;’t know existed until tonight. The Orb, and Jimmy Cauty, together on vinyl! And when I was 20-25 I thought I had read and seen it and heard it all. “The more you know the more you know you don;t know” – quote from our primary school teacher who I thought was an eejit. Now I’m a primary teacher and this quote is one of the few clear memories I have from my own schooldays. Of course life’s not linear.

Don’t know just exactly why, but when I see Ally I always think of a tramp!
I know he could probably buy and sell me in terms of cash, but that doesn’t stop me thinking of a tramp, a hobo.
Talking of hobo’s this is a great version of an old number about a hobo trying to get home in the 1930’s USA.

Not taken in a bad way Amigo, a lot of the “name ” dj’s on the scene are the most down to earth guys on the planet, I thought you might dig it as they played on a roof in the middle of London’s financial district, reminded me of the days gone by when lots of real good do’s were down there or round about the City Of London, nothing like sticking yer head in the wolves mouth stumbling through there of a Sunday morning!!
