Scottish football has afforded defending champions the courtesy of a home game on the first day of the season to allow the league championship flag to be unfurled at the start of the new campaign for as many decades as I remember.
As this has, in effect, become a courtesy to give Celtic a home start to the campaign in as many years as my sons can remember, we’ll be at Tynecastle on the opening day of the season. Flag Day will have to wait.
That said, I like the idea of taking on Hearts away, then our nearest challengers, Aberdeen, at home. Come through this successfully and we will be in excellent shape for the campaign.
The Aberdeen game comes immediately after the final round of European qualifiers, so we have an opportunity to finish August in a real high – if we get the preparatory work done early enough.
Bring it on. We don’t need no stinkin’ courtesies.

Thats my politics finished.Back to the love of my life.
Seen a wee report this morning that BR had Odegard at Liverpool for a look and was keen to sign him.Reports saying that Madrid want to loan him out this season,and could BR be interested.Would be rather entertaining with Paddy on the right and Martin on the left,with LG in the middle.Bums aff seats time.

” Hold your nose and vote”. Very sound advice; although it is a shame it is the way it has to be. My job means I spend a fair amount of time down in England and my lhad now works , as you know, in central London, so the depth of feeling on immigration is not news to me. To be honest it is the only card the leave guys have to play, so that is why it is right to play it. Doesn’t make me feel good, but politics is a dirty business. Anyway, off to see my old Dad….an unstinting voice of reason.
I now take it the Warbs story was untrue.Not a peep from the Level 5 lackeys in the Record,Herald,Scotsman.
Sure they would have been all over it.
I hope Big Shane Lowry wins the US open.
In terms of Sporting Integrity, he is the anti-Rangers(1872-2012).
He called a penalty shot on himself as he was about to address the ball on the green, because the ball moved almost imperceptibly, with him having done nothing to cause it. No one else would have spotted it.
Called an official over, scores were tight at the time, but dropped shot for Shane was the result.
He has since been rewarded with a handsome lead going into today’s final round.
Hope he can hold on to it.
Great example he’s setting.

I spent most of the 90s in South London. Racist comments such as I hear every day now would not have been allowed,no matter where you were.
This referendum is just like the last one-it allows festering bigotry to put its head above the parapet and legitimises it.
On my way to Bilbao. Still waiting for my proxy vote authorisation to show up. The events of the last couple of days have shown clearly what a nationalist platform can drive the crazies to.
As much as I hate Cameron and wee Nicola that are saints compared to Johnson, Gove and Farage all three of whom I couldn’t tire of punching.
Remain for me assuming I can vote.
Shane Lowry is a real genuine decent guy. Self & Family steeped in GAA, on record as supporting Celtic, would absolutely love it, if he holds it together on final round to win it.
Unfortunately he has a history of 3 good rounds and 1 bad, hopefully today he changes that and makes history.

You sound just like your fellow Scottish nat, Andrew Dewar Gibb
“Wheresoever knives and razors are used, wheresoever sneak thefts and petty pilfering are easy and safe, wheresoever dirty acts of sexual baseness are committed, there you will find the Irishman in Scotland with all but a monopoly.”
C’mon Andy Murray, more sunshine on leith.
It gets under the huns skin :)

Hope the Odegard story is true we could be doing with another number 10 :-)
As long as any signing goes straight in the first 11 that will do me

Didn’t know that about Petershill, knew a couple of good Celtic fans that with them back in the 80s (when I say know it was really my brothers that knew them) also like the fact your dad kidded you on he was letting you choose until you choose the wrong team

Was my t-shirt dispatched ? Still hadn’t received it before i left for Lanzarote y/day , just wondered because everybody else seem to have their’s HH !
Sorry, Bhoys, I’ve got that wrong.
Big Shane has had a meeting with officials, who’ve decided just to make the rules up as they go along, have restored his penalty stroke, and asked if there are any titles he’s never which he’d like to have bestowed on him.
To be known henceforth as The Fairway Agreement.
Never won.
Really nice touch with the 2 wee boys leading the tennis players out, 2 wee boys who have had pretty serious health issues in the past…..
C’mon Andy the Hibee

Chill,pal. TB is entitled to his opinion. Though I usually scroll the troll.
Airing it thus only backs up my earlier point about how this referendum is legitimising racism.
I’m glad you pointed it out though. my response would have been less diplomatic.

One of my brothers played for Petershill in the early 90s. He was a popular player with the fans until they realised he was a Celtic supporter.
Apparently, they had a pretty basic ‘fanzine’ and he was asked for his favourite match. He answered 4-2, ten men won the league and thought no more about it.
When he played his next game, he was booed by a vociferous section of the crowd every time he touched the ball.
The End of a beautiful friendship!
On Clint Hill.
I had the pleasure of having dinner with Harry Rednapp and Gordon Wallace last October.
Harry told me that Carlton Cole ,wouldn’t play a full 90 mins for Celtic and that the signing boggled him.
Reading his comments and opinions on Clint Hill .He feels that he is very fit and will be a big success for them.
The age isn’t that important ,it’s the players level of fitness and desire ,when they reach a mature age ,that is.
Harry believes Hill is very fit and very determined .

Hoooooooooooooopy anniversary to you and the boss.

Some nice Father’s Day stuff on here today.
But, as Frankie Boyle said, You don’t have to be a perfect example to your kids.
You can also function as a sort of hideous warning.

Are you saying if we vote no it will still be an open door policy if we want to continue trading with EU on a level basis…serious question.
Canny allow this to go unnoticed. From Michael Gove,on The Andrew Marr Show earlier.
” countries such as Turkey. “It is important when we are talking about migration to look at numbers, especially because the birthrate [in Turkey] is so high,” he said.”
People voted for this eejit. Please don’t make the same mistake.

Punching,you are raining down from a great height!
Reading of the problems of sevco not paying £30,000 to ole Accrington.
Beginning to breath easier re thems pushing us for title next season.

I was unaware of the Petershill thing, it’s obviously narrow mindedness, at ametuer level our strip was green and white with a shamrock as the badge, my mate, who was a really good footballer but also supported that liquidated mob would wear his red & black socks underneath our green and white ones…….his football ability meant more than who he supported, I still think he was far too good a footballer to support that mob……by the way I would never wear anything that even associated with them, at least my narrow mindless is a better than that Petershill mob :-)

Me,a troll,ya jumped up blowhard.You and that other pseudo intellectual are so far up your own politically correct jacksies that you cant see there is a problem.Million of people are affected,these are facts,not racist comments.Check the difference in the polls on Friday,you will see the vast difference between Scotland and England.Huge swathes of England has a problem,wether you like it or not.
Is that diplomatic enough for you.

Although not in the EU, Norway is a member of the European Economic Area, and, as such, must accept the same Freedom of Movement rules as EU members, while, of course, having no say on these rules.
As far as I know.
Looking for a bit of information on change of working contract…where I work is going to impose a change of contract, I work day shift and have in my contract that I can be asked to work night shift with due notice.
The new one will be day shift/back shift. Do I have a case not to do back shift?
Any response will be appreciated. HH
Beatbhoy,
You’re quite right as regards Norway. If we were to vote to leave on Thursday, we would be in the same situation, if we wanted to be part of the EEA to access the single market.
The Referendum is, imo, about how England sees itself. The far right have never got over no longer having an Empire.
Cameron offered it as a sop to try and placate Tories who would never be placated.
Happy fathers day to all the dad’s out there.
I’m lucky to have,a great dad. Both my grandfather’s were great men too. Good husbands, parents, members of their communities.
I’m grateful for that.
I hate to see all the things their generation won for us surrendered back to the monied classes.
So remember the dead and fight for the living.
Hail hail
The wrong team
When my son was young and getting into football my mother found this another reason to buy him presents.
One day my wife came back from work to find our son in a Linfield jersey.
It mysteriously disappeared.
Should have added: we won’t have any greater control over immigration, because we would have to comply with the free movement of labour.
I see turkebhoy is still raging away against anyone who doesn’t hold his world view.
