Jock Stein didn’t get it all right in Lisbon 50 years ago. He told his players Inter’s weak point was their goalkeeper, Giuliano Sarti, who passed away within the last day, aged 83. How wrong could he be? Sarti played the game of his life, resisting Celtic for an hour, and then keeping his team in the game until the end.
Inter’s famed defensive structure was unable to adapt to Celtic’s ability to create space, but a combination of Sarti and the woodwork kept the scoring down. Twice the keeper benefited from the West German officials, once when he stretched behind to claw the ball out of the net, and once when he grabbed Willie Wallace legs inside the six-yard box.
Sarti was Inter keeper throughout the Grande Inter period, when they twice won the European Cup and Serie A title. He earlier won the league with Fiorentina, as well as the Cup Winners’ Cup.
Great, though he was, he was no King Canute, and could do nothing about Big Tam’s tidal wave, which changed the course of football.

I broke my recent habit of ignoring everything that John James produces. It was unwise.
He’s still a horrible, sensationalist, self-aggrandising, attention seeking wee toally.

First class as usual from your good self
And while I’m on here I’m getting browned off with this one religious book said this and another one said that a load of cobblers
There’s right and there’s wrong and it’s that bloody simple

Thanks for the mighty post, such complex issues broken down into layman terms.
That’s a gift for all of us to read.
Keep up the good fight and thank you for all you do for our community.

Anyway…never mind the inept liar Theresa May(I hate the poor), you cant vote in this one, stick to Tony Abbot:)
Millionaires telling the poor that there is no magic money tree….only a money tree to bail out the banks and give tax cuts to millionaires.
That is what you call hatred.
I will be voting for Corbyn….a decent man who cares about people.

The Tanakh,The Bible,The Koran. They are all open to interpretation and can be used as justification for extreme violence.
It’s difficult to justify extreme violence IMO.
If you believe in God,cut out the middleman of religion and live life accordingly. Otherwise,it’s not belief,its hatred and fanaticism.
As an aside,I’ve yet to hear of an atrocity carried out in the name of atheism!

Taken wildly out of context; I’d expect better from you; reminiscent of the Daily mail!
Yes, Islam allows a man to have more than one wife, but there are certain specific conditions and the first wife has to agree.
There are many good Muslims around and it’s the evil minority that taint all of them.
The Crusades anyone?

Not sure that The Crusades actually had a “good guy/bad guy” element to it.
Though as usual,both sides had “God on our side”
I recall the Nazis issued their troops with belts proclaiming similar.
Is Godwin’s Law really just an extension of that? I dunno,but since I’m opposed to the death penalty,I’m certainly opposed to killing in the name of religion.

The issue is simple.
I fear for the safety of ALL those who live in Western countries.
If action is not taken , then there will be the inevitable rise of fascism.

Maybe they won’t take it literally in around 600 years from now.
Their religion is around that much newer than ours. When ours was 1400 years old,The Spanish Inquisition was dishing it out big time to unbelievers.

According to one of our esteemed bloggers , there are 300, 000 homeless in U.K..
In 2016 there was a net immigrant intake of , from memory , 240 , 000.
Apparently the NHS is creaking at the seams.
Is there a solution ?
Clue.
The two issues under discussion are related.
THE GREEN MAN @ 10 39.
Between October 68 and December 68 ,I lived in a University ” room “.. A staircase in an ancient building . One of my neighbours was a real thing Fuzzy Wuzzy. A Beja. Tallest ,thinnest person I’ve ever seen .He was doing a Phd in Numerical Anaylsis . Lived on a diet of Khat , hashish and unbelievably sweet tea. . Loved beer and Elvis Presley .. Used to go to the pub wearing a T shirt with the legend – Dervish . Spoke fabulously correct and pompous English..
The landing where he lived included a fabulous bigot ( my best ever ) from posh Belfast . . They didn’t get on . Fabulous memory of the Dervish telling The Bigot ——–” I am a Fuzzy Wuzzy , you are an onanist “

What about British ex-pats….how many throughout the world?
Do the same rules apply?
Should they have been prevented from moving to Europe or America, or Sydney?
Have they been detrimental to the respective health systems?

Cross purposes , old son.
The same rules must apply.
The none too subtle distinction.
British expats don`t pretend to be refugees.
Nor are they infamous for beheadings , female genital mutilation , marrying 12 year old brides or throwing gay guys off roofs.
Course I could be wrong.

Is it only jihadists that commit atrocity?
Let me remind you.
I spoke earlier of how the US led coalition have admitted to recently killing 484 civilians.
Or we could discuss as i flagged earlier…..The British history of imperial slaughter in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, although that would take me a while….Tasmania, New Zealand, and South Africa for example, and of course Ireland.
I could go on:)

The homeless problem really took off in the 80s when your hero(ine) was in charge.
Immigration wasn’t on the agenda then.
Stop trying to conflate to suit your agenda.
This country needs immigration in order to grow. There are plenty of informed studies-from both left and right which back this. The problem is the unwillingness of successive governments to increase infrastructure commensurately.

Harking back to things Celtic : would there be any interest in crowd-funding publication of BRTH’s fantastic detailing of the facts surrounding the granting of a EUFA. licence to the RFC (IL). I know we have many CQNers living outwith the Isles of the North Atlantic © Eamon de Valera who could translate BRTH’s summation into the local language and e-mail to sports journalists in the area of their domicile. It may be a long shot but with internationalisation of news it might wing its way back to Scotia. HH

Sorry to bring up football, but in The Daily Mail (I know!) John Motson picks his best combined Scotland/England team from players he has seen.
Not only does it include Jinky and Danny, he also picks Bobby Evans!

It’s been on the racists’ agenda since the Windrush berthed.
‘people are really rather afraid that this country might be rather swamped by people with a different culture and, you know, the British character has done so much for democracy, for law and done so much throughout the world that if there is any fear that it might be swamped people are going to react and be rather hostile to those coming in.’
Thatcher January 1978
