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.

blantyretim,
Mrs BT looks fair fed up :O).
There ye go canamalar, drink yer beer.
Kojo, £3o odd million ye say ?
How many £ms have our Wee team who plays by the Clyde — East end — been diddled outta aw these years? That figure we accumulated this year pales in contrast to the amount of dough we’ve lost out on. It’s not just prize money remember….you can’t put a price on prestige.
I agree with canamalar on this one.
Passed that time– nite for noo
The don McCullin docu has been a fascinating review of major events over the last 50 years. It even questions what was the impact of things like the transfer of the Times to Murdoch. Would thatcher have survived the Falklands with an Evans led Times? Probably but maybe there would have been a bit less Jingoism. Powerful stuff anyway.
But back to the tic…………..
Happy birthday jobo balde.

There is a fabulous Imagine documentary on BBC1 about photographer Don McCullin’s experiences. Worth turning over if you are not watching.

I am a serial flicker at this time of night and usually end up watching a Family Guy rerun but that was one I didn’t flick.

Was it bbc?
If so I’ll catch up tomorrow
Kojo — A convincing analogy. But, while we’re tryin to enjoy the ride on the Aul Lizzy’s highwaeys n byewaeys, her officers are determined to put a stop to that. Whereby our trustee driver is continually stoapped for non–offences whilst lettin the local hotwirin’ hoodlums rally dangerously about the streets of our neighbourhood with impunity.
I appreciate your outlook in not lookin back Kojo, but this has got to be nipped in the bud, now.

I know what you are saying.
If we bring in even mair money we can do more good.
We are Celtic and I used to think the sooner the better we get out of Scotland the Better.
We can do everything from exactly where we are right now, it will make a much bigger impact as well to people that really matter. Ordinary people and not the corruption that is awash everywhere these days. Uefa is just a bigger and more corrupt version of the SFA, Fifa, well you know it is the same again.
When Celtic have 11 home schooled and trained players on that Pitch, we will Win the Big Cup again, and again, despite the forces of darkness (corruption etc).
The Love of Money is the root of all evil after all, Celtic can get people in who are the very best at their level and make them amongst the best in the World when they have been coached well, physically, and more importantly at those ages, mentally.
Very late for a school night.

Kojo– that’s not true pal. For example, Picasso could go to any restaurant of his choosing and never have to go into his pocket. When the bill arrived, he’d simply scribble a few strokes of his pen and voila….. Happy Restauranteur ;)

Worth the read.
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said,
“Jesus knows you’re here.”
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze.
When he heard nothing more, after a bit, he shook his head and continued.
Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard:
“Jesus is watching you.”
Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.
Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.
“Did you say that?” he hissed at the parrot.
“Yep,” the parrot confessed, then squawked, “I’m just trying to warn you that he is watching you.”
The burglar relaxed. “Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?”
“Moses,” replied the bird.
“Moses?” the burglar laughed. “What kind of people would name a bird ‘Moses?’”
“The same kind of people who would name a Rottweiler ‘Jesus.’”

I didn’t realise that he was still at Celtic Park as a player after Fergus transformed the Stadium.
Great Hymns.

I’ll tell you what really worries me. It is not Ecobhoy’s views on what is and is not a club and that Rangers are too important to disappear, and it is not the views of those who oppose him. It is whether the context of a hypothetical question raised by John Clarke to Ecobhoy would actually come true, whether or not Ecobhoy said it or implied it. The question was whether the SFA would still have ensured a Rangers would survive at Ibrox even if guilty of match fixing. Given Rangers were found guilty of the next worst crime, and received a fine that was never paid, and a transfer embargo that was a sham, I have to assume that yes, the SFA would still have ensured a Rangers would survive at Ibrox even if guilty of match fixing. I have to assume the media would not oppose it, and I also have to assume that Politicians from Holyrood and Westminster would also have been okay with it. These assumptions are only my view of course, but the evidence is strong.
I am now honestly of the view that any form of cheating, bribery, corruption, lies, deceit, or any manner of criminal acts could be proven beyond doubt and still the view would be that Scotland needs a strong Rangers ‘back at the very top where they belong’.
sadly I concurr with the above post which depresses me when I consider the shambles that is Scottish Football
It isn’t SPORT it is a corrupt cesspit of ignorance and prejudice
Good afternoon from a warm and sunny Gold Coast.
Hospital again.
This time for an Echocardiograph (ECG) on my heart, to see if it is strong enough for major surgery.
I am very confident as my heart attack was not too severe and I never lost cosciousness, so infarction should be fairly minimal.
Fingers crossed.
Hail Hail
God bless you Tom !
