Watching players on the edge

1018

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.

    JM also lived for Many a moon in Moscow, of the Ayrshire flavour, not that it was any different from Soviet era gulags in it’s oranjieness. He was tortured, though. I think he had the Caledonian self destruct button on standby all his days. Should have been a contender.

    Roy is magic. Buy all his stuff and keep an old man (him) very happy. Me and Mrs Blind met him at a Robert Plant show in the Olympia Theatre in Dublin in 2010. No one had a scooby who he was except us. Gent of the first order and TINY when you stood next to him. I remember thinking his anorak looked threadbare and was about to give him the price of a cuppa when he got picked up by a very tasty looking young rock chick in a big four by four. He looked happy.

    BLChitlin- will investigate further.

     

     

    You can’t have enough Grimethorpe Colliery Band in your life ;/)

  8. Just watched the start of the Barca game for the first time since I was there on the night. The SKY commentators were fulsome in their praise of the support, as well they might. I am nearly in tears.

     

     

    We are more than a club.

    interesting.. but why was the young bloke busking on his own but with 2 microphone stands set up?

     

     

    … then Donovan walks by – and he’s got his guitar with him…

     

     

    Incredible (i.e. not credible).’

    Fortunately it just happened to be captured on video, otherwise people might not have believed it.

     

     

    Still not as good as Neil Young busking outside Central Station though.

    That can’t be right. Eric Riley would have said something.

    On the subject of cricket related music, are you familiar with The Duckworth Lewis Method album from a few years ago? An excellent concept album about cricket (no, really!).

     

     

    As for the Grimethorpe Collliery Band – as featured on the tearjerking ‘My Young Man’ by wee Kate Rusby.

    Tbh Ernie I don’t know who to trust at SFA anymore.

  15. Hello all

     

     

    Off today – dog operation. Just seen on ETims a mention of Canamalar’s campaign- if the rumour as posted earlier that the SFA informed UEFA were merely demoted not liquidated then that’s upped the ante for me.

    My wife and I have been using the Duckworth Lewis Method for a few years.

     

     

    She sets me a cricketing scenario just before bedtime. By the time I have worked it out she is sleeping and I have a banging headache.

  17. Honest there is….. ;-)

     

    Poor mighty tim drove to Manchester to be told at check in that flights to Egypt cancelled by fco..

  18. The bottom line is this…

     

    A Club that owes millions to creditors and that was formally liquidated is still trading more than one year later and their creditors Will never be repaid

     

     

    The whole of thE scottish football hierarchy is bending every rule to accommodate them

     

     

    THAT’s The SCANDAL

     

     

    Rangers in whatever reincarnation will not be allowed to die inspite of massive fraud
