Alistair Johnston concluded Celtic players’ international commitments in the early hours of this morning (UK time) with no adverse injury news across the two weeks. After tomorrow, the squad will scarcely have a proper training session until February. There will be tired limbs, tired minds and a few knocks to deal with. That’s the price of success and it is what the club prepares for.
Love the feedback across the city to news that a man who was a scout this time last year, then became head of recruitment, is now director of football, a role which has remained vacant since April 2023, because no suitable candidate was prepared to accept the position.
The 39-year-old Belgian gave what sounded like a banal platitude in the statement accompanying the announcement, but is more insightful than it appears. “Winning is all that matters at this club”.
That’s the problem right there. If winning is everything, living within your means is nowhere. No football club in the game needs to park the ‘winning is everything’ chat for a few years more than Newco.

Free advert for their lottery.

good point paul67- the organisation which used to be our biggest challengers still cannot get the glory years out of their system- and they had the cheek to portray us as ‘expectors not fans’ last years

Just finished watching “Say Nothing”, drama about the Price sisters.Some great acting and powerful script.The young Gerry Adams is a good bit of casting.
A must watch.

I agree, not having experienced that time, thankfully.
I’m sure posters on here will tell me how true it was to living in that period of time, I dread to think.
My guess? Way worse.

Thank you for link, now watched.
First impressions?
If this is not a parody, humankind is in deep trouble.

I think humankind is doing a lot of heavy lifting there as Phil Mac would say.

GP- Might be to do with the incident near the Concert Hall?
BB,
It is.

3 more sleeps until Celtic embark on one of the most exciting and hopefully successful periods in my Celtic supporting history. Potentially 26 games in that period. Massive.
Genuinely brave performance by the girls at Chelsea tonight. Credit to all
Involved after a tough schedule.
More than £50,000 has been raised by Celtic fans who took part in a sleep out event at Celtic Park.
Over 125+ hoops fans braved the cold on November 17, with temperatures dropping below freezing, to raise money for the Celtic FC Foundation.
A spokesperson for the Celtic FC Foundation said: “Celtic FC Foundation would like to thank each and every Sleep Out participant for their incredible efforts, as well as everyone who supported them along the way. You have made a genuine difference to those in our community, who are most in need.”
Celtic Foundation’s Christmas Appeal aims to assist local families to have the best Christmas possible.
We just got a Status Orange Snow alert.
I guess its coming from a northeasterly direction
TV SHOW ” FRASIER”.
A great show, and I have just watched my favourite ” SKETCH” ever (yet again) from an Episode called ” THREE VALENTINES”
It all begins with Frasiers Brother ” NILES” being alone in Frasiers home with EDDIE the Dog.
NILES finds a crease in his Trousers…cue utter mayhem !
The Actor who plays NILES is just fantastic …..his name is ” DAVID HYDE PIERCE”
Eddie the Dog is also great.
HH.
FRASIER SHOW..
“EDDIE” is the name of the pet dog in the show.
However thats only his ” Stage Name” as in real life the Dog was called ” MOOSE”.
It must have been a wee bit confusing for the Dog at times ?
LOL.

RIP John Prescott
The two jags were ineffective…
ADVICE NEEDED..
I am possibly looking to but a 34inch PC Monitor.
I can see Monitors on the ARGOS Website, but SOME are described as ” GAMING MONITORS” ?
Is there ANY difference between a PC Monitor…..and a ” GAMING PC MONITOR” ?
Thanks in advance.
HH.
I am looking to BUY a Large PC Monitor….correction.
Big Jimmy
Try the Currys website they have online help
Good morning from a beautiful clear and sunny North Staffs, pity it’s -1deg.
Big Jimmy
Gaming monitors are of a higher spec with very high definition and faster response. So if you don’t need this capability then just search for PC monitors. Unless of course you want to count the baw hairs on the horses.
DESSYBHOY…
Cheers Mate. I will have a look at Currys.

MORE ADVICE NEEDED…
I MAY buy myself a new 65 inch Smart TV in time for Christmas. Is there anyone who would be happy to set up the new TV………AND to Set Up a New PC Monitor ?
ALSO…
I would need to buy a suitable TV Wooden Stand to fit the new TV. I see that many of the TV Stands require ” SELF ASSEMBLY”, by maybe TWO persons ?
Is there anyone who would be able to assemble the TV Stand…with a little bit of help from me obviously ?
You will be well paid IF anyone is capable in doing BOTH Jobs for me ?
Thanks in advance.
HH.
Big Jimmy, a load of Black Friday deals out from tomorrow, try Amazon or AO websites, a lot include paying to set stuff up for you
Good morning all from Govanhill.
Big Jimmy, why don’t you just plug our PC into your new tv via the HDMI and save the hassle of buying NEW MONITOR?
Big Jimmy
Dont know much about a large PC Monitor
But you could probably get a tall PC Lustig on a free transfer….
