I like watching a professional perform on the edge. We watched Anthony Stokes do just that at the Cup Final, where despite two superb goals from Gary Hooper, he was clearly head and shoulders above everyone else on the field. This has not always been the way for Anthony, so has too often failed to command a starting place, and live up to the form he promised all those years ago at Falkirk.
Celtic have put a contract in front of him but it will be considerably lighter than the contract Hooper has no intentions of signing. It’s very much up to Anthony now. Deliver and the riches will follow. Don’t bet against him.
Only just catching up on the somewhat demeaning promotion of a football club hiring a new team bus. Every time I see the coach/manager at that club, buses, or to be more precise, Blakey, from On the Buses comes to mind. These people lend themselves to parody so unselfishly.
Coach/Manager
Inspector Blakey
The fascinating part is, only one of the two above was trying to be ridiculous. You enjoy another day of being a Celtic fan.

Well done to Jobo’s ghirl on her academic success.
Sadly the weather in ole Shangri La is a bit grey and damp but I’m sure they’ll have a grand old day.
Is the Wifi, the bar and now the improved family section a ploy to make watching Lennonaccio a bit more pleasurable?
SofTunis – new Mavis Staples album ‘One True Vine’ is worth checking out.

Is 14 months old too young to take wee LB to his first game?
I was thinking the Petrov match would be perfect to introduce him to some great playrs and the Celtic Park atmosphere!

Consider yourself cordially disinvited from The Maharani nightoooot,you bounder!
How dare you refer to your friend ALTHETIM as very old,a mere 55yo?
That’s hurtful to the members of SAGACELTS,of which I shall shortly be one!
Just found out the Sevco bus has an oven on it. Nearly fell off my chair when the zombie told me. Too many jokes to even contemplate.
He said he saw a video of it, I asked if they had released a commemorative dvd. lol!
I wish we would do this.
LISBON (Reuters) – Benfica TV became a pay
channel on Monday and will be the sole
broadcaster for the club’s Portuguese Premier
League home matches – a groundbreaking
move among Europe’s top clubs.
On top of a fee paid for a basic cable TV
package, fans in Portugal will have to pay
some 10 euros (8.54 pounds) per month to
watch the Lisbon club’s matches played at
the Luz stadium on television.
Club President Luis Filipe Vieira hailed the
initiative as “historic” and said the deal meant
that “Benfica became the first club in the
world to fully exploit its TV rights”.
Fans can subscribe to the channel through the
country’s two largest cable operators:
Portugal Telecom and Zon. Angolan cable
operator Zap will also offer it.
A club spokesman said Benfica were the first
big European club to screen league games on
their own pay TV channel.
Earlier this year, Benfica reached a deal with
the English Premier League for exclusive
screening rights in Portugal of the competition
over the next three seasons.
Until now, some 70 percent of the
broadcasting rights revenues estimated at 75
million euros per season have gone to the
“big-three” soccer clubs – Benfica, Sporting
and Porto.
As in neighbouring Spain, television contracts
in Portugal are negotiated on a club-by-club
basis, unlike in the English Premier League
and Italy’s Serie A, where collective bargaining
deals are struck.

Thanks for the heads up —— I will listen to it .

Just wondering with all the new developments in and around Celtic Park does anyone know if the areas for disabled fans work has started yet?
SofTunis -it’s a mix of gospel standards and new songs by Jeff Tweedy. The new songs also have a strong religious flavour.
THe Funkadelic cover I imagine will be understated compared to the original.

Today’s Cavani ” news ”
Chelsea have offered cash plus Torres for AC Milan’s El Shaarawy .
Rumor mongers claim that means Chelsea have abandoned their attempt to sign Cavani .
Cavani has repeated his I want to play for Real Madrid spiel . Napoli’s owner has said — he can go to Madrid if he wants —all he has to do is to arrange for Real Madrid to give me 63 million euros.

Depends on who is available and when,so I’ll contact interested parties about a month in advance.
I recognise that most people have family and work responsibilities,so I’ll be taking that into account.

Hi – I’m going to head over for ICT match end of August and was wondering if anyone could suggest a nice place to stay for 2 nights (Fri and Sat) that is reasonable. I know the main ones – Jury’s, Millenium, Premier Inn etc but just wanted to know is there a great place that you have used that might not be an obvious one to me. Thanks
============================================
The Menzies hotel down at the quayside. Stayed there late last year – great rooms, very nice place, really good price – paid around £80-90 for a spacious double room, think breakfast included.
Check deals, but I’d go back there anytime at all, and so would my missus; And I guess that’s a much more valid recommendation than mine. ;))
