Apparently it was the same Belgian referee last night who sent RVP off!

I agree with Red Devil, nothing about the league can be ascertained until New Year, that's when the points/GD difference matters. Several years ago we were top of the league on Christmas day, by March we were in a relegation battle !

I know I've been a piss taker but I will never forget our ups and downs and downs and downs !

We may be struggling in CL but it's not that many years ago we got beat by Brentford in the Johnstones Paint Trophy. And before anyone says, yet again, how much we have forked out for success- what choice did we have?


EUFA are changing the rules as of next season, if you aint in the top flight by then, you never will be.

Nature of life for a rag, mate. They believe football was born in 1993, the 37 yes 37 years prior to that when they achieved nothing doesn't count.

Bloody 'ell, a two pronged attack from Dumb and Dumber :)

Why do you bother?...that's exactly the same question I ask myself...banned 3 times but you keep returning for more.

Slowly the veneer of Mr Reasonable is ebbing away, won't be long now before we are in full Atila diatribe mode.

Here's an uncomfortable truth for you...your shiny new trophy cabinet is still empty...

Hang on, so you reckon we won nothing between 1956 and 1993?

Let me explain...

You are saying that you think Citeh will win the PL.

I said you made a similar prediction about Chelski last season and were subsequently proven to be wrong.

I then said that the PL isn't won in November, and quoted L'Arse's collapse last year in February as an example to back up that argument...simple enough for you?

Wind your patronising neck in. Is that simple enough for YOU. The only reason you decided to comment was purely and simply because I've written Man Ure off, and the noisy neighbours will take away your precious. If you can't leave it at that, don't bother. Thats even easier to comprehend I would have thought.

No diatribe from me, better take a long hard look at your postings today, I think you'd win that particular contest hands down.

Cheers praise from a master comedian is always welcome.

Dylen McGeouch - I know of his name but that's about it Declan. He's supposedly a bit of a wonder kid. Celtic do have a good youth system which is paying dividends.


Wikipedia has already been updated: CelticMcGeouch made his debut on 6 November 2011 when he came on as a late substitute in a 2?1 win over Motherwell.[2] McGeouch scored his first league goal for Celtic in a narrow 5-0 win over St. Mirren, in which he won a tackle and ran the whole length of the pitch before netting the ball inside the 18 yard box

Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
