I'm not convinced we need Pressley. I don't have any great issues with him, he's about as good/bad/liable-to-throw-a-game-away/likely-to-score as Caldwell or Balde, so in that case, I just don't think we need him. Darren O'Dea looks alright from what I've seen, and Kennedy can't be that far away now.

Hearts and Hartley saying nothing following his hearing. I think it's safe to assume he hasn't been sacked, though I wouldn't be surprised if they were taking bids in January.

I don't imagine too many St Mirren fans will be at the Inverness game on New Year's Day. There was a reason New Year's Day was traditionally a derby day - everyone was too fucked to get any further than the nearest football ground. Now the fixture "computer" throws up a fucking 3-4 hour journey.

I still think Pressley is the best Scottish defender and should have a few seasons left in him at the top level. He's only 33.Still, it's a case of wait and see.
Any other possible signings for the old firm on the way? Not seen a paper for ages and haven't been reading the web about it either.
― pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link
Bwahahahaahahah.
John Kennedy, Andy Webster, Steven McManus, Russell Anderson, Gary Caldwell, there's five for starters. Zander Diamond. Mark Wilson if we're moving outwith centre halves. I'd probably rate David Weir above him too, but that doesn't mean I'd want to sign him either.
He is markedly slower at 33 than he has been in previous seasons, and I don't see him getting any better as he gets older. If we're going for an experienced Scottish head, I'd rather, say, Christian Dailly, who is the same age, faster, more experienced, more versatile and NOT CUP-TIED. But I don't see the point of this signing at all.

I like Rogne a lot. Watched the second half last night when I got in - he was tidy and efficient. average age of the Celtic team last night was just over 22 - Samaras and Brown at 26 pushing it up a bit.
Still have my reservations about Lennon - we should never have been so far behind such a poor Rangers team, and it'll take a lot to shift the memories of that pishy game against Hibs and that appalling first half against Kilmarnock, not to mention the European qualifying crap, but that won't take anything away from the last seven weeks or so. Still enjoying it.

Decades of things balancing out over a season so dealwithit.gif suddenly forgotten as Rangers possibly maybe incorrectly have a goal not given - the SPL is now volunteering to FIFA to be guinea pigs for goal-line camera technology.
How about some fucking knee-high studs-up tackle spotting technology? Or some deliberate and repeated handball technology? Or maybe some flagging offside correctly technology?

Below from the minutes of a meeting between the Association of Celtic Supporters and Strathclyde Police.
o_O
On the subject of relations between large elements of Celtic support and the police CC accepted that there had been a breakdown in trust following a series of anti-Celtic briefings given by the Communications Officer at Strathclyde Police. It was pointed out and accepted that the journalist and the tabloid concerned were known to have an anti-Celtic agenda. CC confirmed that future briefings from police would need a different approach and that Communications Officer would no longer be doing that function and that Celtic PR Dept. would be involved. CC accepted that these events had been damaging to police.
(CC = Campbell Corrigan, Assistant Chief Constable, Strathclyde Police)

P.S. dudes who minuted the Association/Police meeting - the Celtic Symphony doesn't have add ons. So is singing the actual lyrics OK now then?
― ailsa, Friday, 30 December 2011 13:41 (twelve years ago) link
Celtic occasionally play a version with "up the Celts" - I assume "up the RA" is being counted as alternative/add-on lyrics. On Wednesday they sang neither - preferring to use Georgios Samaras as a handy rhyming substitute.

Aye, I know that, but the actual original version (video recorded at Celtic Park btw) is Ooh Ah Up The Ra. Yer man from the polis said no add-ons, the minutes don't show anyone challenging, so let's see how that stands up next time Celtic fans get done for singing it.
