Kris Commons looked like he had put a lot of practice into taking penalties yesterday. The ball was firmly hit and found the corner of the net, a feat which is far from impossible but which has been beyond various Celtic players for the last few years. We have little a little over a month before we could face a penalty kick competition against Juventus. Penalty kick practice should be on the menu every day between now and then, for the entire squad.
I’m delighted Lukasz Zaluska has had an extended run in the team. No player will be at his best if he is seldom tested and never in important games. Lukasz carried his share of the blame for last weekend’s Hampden defeat but not every keeper can pull off a Nigel Spink. Good to have Fraser back for Inverness.
If you read on a Celtic site that The Rangers chief executive and chairman are “at loggerheads” after “a chaotic week of back-biting” or that there is a prospect they will “frighten the life out of those institutional investors who ploughed £17million into the coffers little more than a month ago”, you would be forgiven for discounting the claim as a case of wishful thinking.
When it comes from the Daily Record and recent colleague of the club’s newly installed head of media you can be sure there is a little more to it than that.
You would think with all the positive feedback Green and Murray would have received form the SPL Commission they would be flush with joys. I sincerely hope, for their sake, that Phil’s Bridge over Troubled Waters ditty was more wishful thinking than another leak from the media team. That would be embarrassing. “Squelch.”

Len Brennan nae bother, what’s more important is how he played and where, ie was he playing in a creative midfield role that I think we badly need. I hope he’s yet another star buy for the Celts.

Very bad driving conditions in my drive out of EK this morning. Even the main roads haven’t been cleared. Commute safely folks.
Morning, Below From The Thunder
Welcome to Salmondland…
This time last week I was
stuck in Govan police
station. My Monday had
started so differently as I
soaked up the last sun of a
wee winter break in Spain.
Little did I know when I
was lying on the beach
that afternoon that a four-
strong party from
Strathclyde Police was
waiting at Glasgow
Airport’s passport control
to welcome me back
home. Arrested in front of
hundreds of tourists and
my upset girlfriend I was
cuffed and dragged out to
waiting van and taken to
Govan police station and
charged by the Hate Crime
Unit for offensive
behaviour at football.
My supposed crime?
Apparently my hands were
seen on the zombie
banner at the pre-season
friendly with Norwich and
my behaviour was so
offensive that a reasonable
person would think it could
have caused serious public
disorder. After the
international fugitive
treatment at the airport I
was charged and released
for a court date later on
this season, where I’ll join
another of the bhoys who
has also been charged with
the heinous crime of
allegedly holding a banner
having a laugh at our
former rivals’ expense.
The truth is I doubt even
the police believe the
banner could or should be
illegal, instead it’s the
latest in a series of attacks
on the Green Brigade and
the Celtic support. Earlier
today yet another young
Tim was cleared by a court
on a charge the judge
found no evidence to
prove and we’ve even
heard of cops taking their
vendetta against us out of
the courts and into the
classrooms of schools
where they tell schoolkids
the Green Brigade are
bigots and laughably use
the zombie banner as
evidence of sectarianism.
This is not to mention a
wide range of other
harassment, from illegal
stop and searches of young
bhoys in 111 to vindictive
attempts to stop our lads
earning a living.
Shooting at zombies is not
a crime. Neither is
supporting your team or
being in the Green
Brigade.
Sally McCoist is haunted by nightmares where 3 little letters float in front of his eyes.
Today he is horrified to find that the nightmare has come true.
No, not RFC.
Nor CFC.
Not SFA, SPL or SFL.
Not BDO, EBT or LNS.
Not BBC, STV or MSM.
Not SDM nor even CQN.
No, those 3 little letters which float in front of his eyes, are inscribed by the hand of Charles Green on a small piece of paper inside Sally’s warchest:
Simple and succint: I.O.U.
Sevcomedia mobilises the troops:
“A small subtle,but potentially effective campaign strategy against Daily Rhebel
Any time you’re in a newsagent, hide the Rhebel behind the Sport, Mirror or Star.
You’d be amazed at how a small thing could hit their circulation. If we all make a point of being that wee bit more obsessed about small actions that require little effort, but merely a reasonable sized consensus to have an effect, then you could effectively hit them. Your extra 5 seconds doing this, along with hundreds if not thousands of other Bears, could potentially cost them a fair whack.
The same could be said of other papers, such as the Herald who have recently re-employer the Creep.”
Morning all. Wild, wet and windy today. There is even a spattering of snow but the ferry is still running. So, it isn’t too bad at the minute.
I take it the deadybears are still breathing out fire and fury to all and sundry, who dare to question their very existence.
Morning all

“James Torrance @JimTorranceSNP @StanCollymore Not all (if any) RFC fans are ‘racist/threatening/idiots’. Thanks… http://t.co/iVLtl35y
Can’t see what Paddy McCourt brings to the team. But, if our manager feels he does, that’s good enough for me.

Morning bhoys from a frosty, but thankfully hun free mountain valley.
I wonder if we will get some more good news eminating out of the bigot dome today.
Haven’t got the hang of this Twitter thing and I suspect there are a few others out there . Been meaning to explore Twitter, seems as good a time as any, wanted to follow the under 20’s game last night but failed.
How do you get to see the offending tweets, I seem to be going roung in circles.
roung = round
p#sh fingers
It’s a bit slow on the old quick news this morning. Let’s hope that last night’s hint by OGR that there would be more info on the Titanic/iceberg situation today comes to pass.
tomcourtney
To follow a match log on to the official CFC site, then on to the twitter feed – ‘Join the conversation’, and you will get regular updates on the match.
HH!!
No Gershon on Todic in the 25 man squad registered for Europe apparently. Looks like we may need to wait a few weeks for our Aussie bhoy to settle in before we see him.

I got one of they smart phones last week, taking an age to get ma head round it, but I will keep trying, good for the brain says the wife.
Going to try the twitter thing once I have mastered finding a wifi source >}}}}
Itomcourtney I had the same problem but solved it last night by going on the Celtic website and logging on to the Twitter page. Hail Hail Hebcelt

Still pandering to these bigots,yet they know they’re going to vote for unionist party.
Thx guys, making it my ‘goal of the day’ to get tweeting.
I can do most things computer / smart phone now but Twitter passed me by.
Wont do facebook though, makes me cringe…
I’ve seen some Bhoys pull off magical moves, leaving all watching in absolute awe.
Paddy McCourt is one of those Bhoys.
Doesn’t matter that they don’t all go on to be regular superstars; the fact that we produce these players, and they’re all the kind of players who love the jersey, is part and parcel of what it means to play The Celtic Way.

Don’t kid yourself. There’s plenty of huns vote SNP.
Goldstar 10-Collymore said it had nothing to do with Celtic fans or Glaswegians.Torrance along with any other huns with a platform,throw us in to the mix.Challs can’t make a statement without mentioning Celtic or PL.They trying to hang on to our coat tails,I think Challs was “selling ” the Share Issue to outsiders on the back of our Barca win and CL income.

Celtic career:
Season……Minutes……Goals……Assists……Minutes / Key Contribution
2008/09……52……………..0……………0…………….0
2009/10……478……………3……………1…………120
2010/11……1164………….7……………3…………116
2011/12……470……………0……………1…………470
2012/13……303……………0……………0…………….0
In 2010/11, his most productive season for Celtic, he was behind only Maloney, Commons, Hooper & Stokes in terms of overall productivity (measured by minutes per key contribution). Given both Commons and Maloney play similar roles in the team, Paddy seemed to be useful back up. Since then he has contributed very little, albeit with limited opportunities.
As a supporter, I get excited when he is on the park – there is always the potential for him to do something truly extraordinary. This happens very rarely.
Selfishly I hope he stays for those fleeting promises of magic, but for his sake I hope he goes and becomes a star for a club that will find a regular place for him.

Aye Ernie I thought that as I posted,was hoping no one dug me up for it.
Forgot about all the new laws to even up,Operation get Pape.hh
Fek, I’m backtracking just like that great councillor Jim Torrance :O)
Bada bing- yep, Traynor did the same thing last night, out of the shambles of TheRangers FC he started talking about the O** F*** going to England, they desperately need us to have any kind of acceptability.
Why did chuck write to HMRC re the deadco?
Jabba, ally et al surely have nothing to worry about,
Chuck has the thick end of22M burning a hole in his pocket.
Why worry?

It ‘magnifies’ a weak wifi signal if there’s no cable to your cave.
I’m in a marina and as they dont cable to boats and satellite dishes are useless bobbing about I use a wifi hotspot.
I can get a good stream fron Celtic TV now.
[[“Actress Andrea Riseborough says she believes Lady Thatcher, who she played in a BBC drama, had “psychopathic tendencies”. “]]
>>>>>>
Many people knew that 30 effin’ years ago.
And I’l tell you this : Iain Duncan Smith is a full-blown psychopath. No question.
(I think Ian Black falls in the same category, too, except he’s thick and mainly attempts flailing at fellow footballers, whereas IDS wields immense power over the vulnerable.)
I’ll shut up now.

Cheers.
I have a cable in the cave, but sitting outside the router is not strong enough, can’t get a mobile signal inside either, have to be near a window.
I will get one and see how it goes.
