Glasgow and Edinburgh have four stadiums with a capacity of 50,000 people or more: Murrayfield, Hampden, Celtic Park and Ibrox. Hampden will be under lease to Uefa at the time of the Scottish Cup Final on 22 May. This arrangement permits games to take place but prohibits fans from attending.
The Scottish Government (I’m not a fan, but to their credit), would almost certainly permit fans to attend, as their example-setters in London have already indicated they would do the same before that date. Given this opportunity to have thousands of fans at a showpiece game, if you were in charge of the SFA you would move it from Hampden to Celtic Park, Ibrox, Murrayfield (my preference). If necessary, you would move it to Cliftonhill to permit “the lifeblood of the game” to be in attendance.
However, you are not in charge of the SFA. Given a choice between holding the Cup Final with fans at another venue, or holding it at an empty Hampden, the Association decided on the latter option. These people!
Five Newco players were caught, red handed, breaking restrictions on Valentine’s Day. They are free to face Celtic on Scottish Cup duty next weekend, nine weeks later. Thanks to the SFA, suspensions will kick in days later. Celtic broke zero restrictions in January, but rules were changed on-the-fly by the aforementioned Scottish Government, forcing Celtic to play two games at a critical time of the season without 16 players.
Don’t try to wreck your brain looking for fairness or consistency here, you’re in Scotland, wise up.

Ireland olympic team, 1924 at first glance i thought the fella in the front row was patsy.

According to the team list under the picture- the player in the front row far right goes under the moniker of Dirty Duncan
Celtic make statement demanding answers from the SFA.
Thats overdue,but welcome.Now make some kind of comment on the new manager situation.Stories now circulating that Howe has spoken to Palace.Easy to deny these stories, if untrue.If any truth,bullet him,and bring in Favre,or another top coach.Not being impatient,but far too much going on,or reported to be.
Back in ‘94 I went to the Leicester Derby play off final at Wembley with my Leicester mad brother in law and his Leicester madder brothers.
One of the brothers was Leicesters greatest supporter. Hadn’t missed a game, home or away in 40+ years.
Leicester beat a Tommy Johnson led Derby by 2-1
Some months later, Leicester’s superstore put out their annual catalogue. The front cover showed the Leicester fans at Wembley celebrating the winning goal. My naw face was dead centre of the picture. The brother in laws brother was no where to be seen. I’m guessing he was bending down to pick up another can when the photo was taken. For twenty years he rattled on about the fact that Leicesters greatest fan wasn’t in the photo but, a Celtic fan at his first ever Leicester game was. He died last year, still cursing that very fact
F’kin logon problems
F’kin ‘disable adblocker’ message
F’kin faux ‘whole country in mourning’ Royalist pash on the telly (I am not unsympathetic on an individual human level for his family – deeply saddening it will be for them, and they have my true and honest sympathy – but I am NOT in mourning)
F’kin had it – I’m away for a bath, a beer and a curry – in that order Then Netflix if that hasn’t been taken over too.

He hit a par round today. Nobody’s caught up….yet
Watching the Masters .
Lovely shot of a female with a hooped dress on
Naw face=baw face
…and just before I go.
Whover penned that “Crackshot or class clown? Genius or goon?” article / statement / question about Griffiths needs his or her arse thoroughly toed – disgraceful Hun-like headline straight from the Sun / Record style of reporting.
Shameful.

Poulter with a cracking pair of strides on
Rory McIlroy was one of my golfing heroes, after Lyle, Faldo and Sevvy.
Ye win 4 majors in 3/4 years then change your clubs ( for money)
Then swing changes follow.
Now you are blaming Bryson de Chambeau!
Get back to basics or your career is over.
Think about it son!!!!

Other than that…..how ya doin?

We get the message…..
I guess Slippy G was the one in the bushes taking the poolside pictures of the bhoys enjoying a beverage. He seems to know firsthand what was going on in Dubai. Celtic or JK should call him out on it. As Kevin Bridges would say he’s a prick’s prick. I hope we hammer that mob when we play them next

Here’s hoping Robert McIntyre can become our new golfing hero

A Lady watching the Masters Golf in Augusta, nice green and white dress,the way the hoops are on the dress is the style the home strip should be ,Now it’s looking Howe ain’t coming to Celtic ,which I always doubt he would,looks like the ex Broussa Dortmund manager is on Desmonds radar ,

I’m still hopeful on Howe
We’re all moaning that the club isn’t saying anything, but Howe hasn’t come out to say he’s not interested. Now if he wasn’t coming why wouldn’t he say so?
St Tams
Not getting at you….I just thought you were going in a round about way to say you’re not interested in golf….two comments on attire
Sorry.
I love it and been watching all day and will be all weekend.
I agree re. Howe. Still think he will be our manager. Could be contractual issues from time at Bournemouth that’s holding it up
It seems there are some rules that wil keep you out of Europe:-
Livingston’s hopes of a return to European football for the first time in 18 years could be thwarted by a failure to comply with regulations.
David Martindale’s side sit fifth in the Scottish Premiership and are into the last 16 of the Scottish Cup.
But an insufficient youth system and lack of published accounts could bar the club from Uefa competition.
“Livingston FC are working round the clock to satisfy the criteria,” the West Lothian club said in a statement.
“We have lost over £2m in the past 15 months and this has affected our plans to re-establish our youth academy, which is a major part of the Uefa criteria.”

It’s cool
Who d’ya fancy?
Speith is looking better by the day
It never fails to amaze me that most of the players take an eight iron for a 195 yards par 3
That’s a 5 wood for me
£!))£
Is that wi the wind behind?

It’s when I’m playing at my best….which doesn’t happen often
I once drove a golf ball 33 miles.
It was in the boot of my car.
“31003 on 9TH APRIL 2021 9:44 PM

3 wood for me but I did get a hole-in-one last week from 270 yards ( on a temporarily modified par 4) with a driver :-))
I’ve got bets on Thomas, Spieth, Matsuyama and Morikawa.
So hopefully get a return HH
See Woo Kim putting with a 3 wood.
Brilliant

I think previous winners of the Masters who are gettin’ on a bit should produce handicap certificates before they are allowed to play.
They are just getting in someone’s way, imo.
