  1. There's a scrap yard in Possil that has been there as long as I can remember and I've driven past it loads of times as it's on the main road. I can't remember ever seeing anyone going in and always wondered how it survives. I'm starting to get an idea.
  2. It's in Maryhill with a canal beside it - didn't need to go that far.
  3. I tried to go to the dump on Sunday afternoon but it was closed and the guy on the gate said it was due to a police incident. Obviously I didn't expect this. The Sun's report was a bit more dramatic, saying he worked there and was attacked because of he's related to. Four guys went in, held him down and hacked at his head, body and legs with a machete. A witness said it was a bloodbath. I'm amazed anyone stayed to witness it.
  4. One thing I hadn't mentioned was how great it was to see a goal being scored right in front of me again. It's been a long time coming but that's why I sit in the Cooper Stand.
  5. When we play some of the teams that sit in there's the potential for the ref blowing his whistle and the ball just remaining on the centre spot while both teams remain in shape.
  6. Is that not because the section is designated as a 'red zone' which Celtic are hoping won't be needed shortly but can't guarantee that will be the case for their New Year fixture? Is the empty section of the south stand our designated 'red zone' or is that just to keep visiting supporters back from their players when they're baying for blood like at the end of yesterday's game? Will be selling less tickets to Old Firm fans in any upcoming games to allow an empty block either side of the steps?
  7. He could have looked pretty silly with that KVV cross/shot but realistically did all he could. Although I still think Grimmy needed to nod in the rebound. Does his new midfield role mean he's regularly going to get this sort of chance and add to his goal tally?
  8. I scrolled down and saw highlights of Shamrock Rovers v Waterford. Eddie Nolan concedes a free-kick (ludicrous handball decision) on the edge of the box.
  9. We were expecting so little after the League Cup games that we are making the most of some good results while we can and getting optimistic that some of our later signings are actually going to improve us. On yesterday's game, I think it's fair to say that Scott Brown doesn't have the same aura (or however you want to put it) as he did playing for Celtic. Or maybe he's been like that for a while and that's why Celtic let him go.
  10. Was it not that Celtic couldn't give them an absolute guarantee because they couldn't say what the regulations will be come the New Year game? Anyway, I won't be going.
  11. I had a bit of a chuckle at our chief Wind Up Merchant Tony Watt being antagonised into a booking by theirs, Scott Brown, only for Brown to absolutely lose the plot and spend the rest of the game moaning to the ref because Tony smiled and waved to him as he walked off when being subbed. Brown was absolutely seething - great to see.
  12. I was impressed by Ramsey and you certainly made enough chances. Your problem was they were all hit wide or straight at Kelly. I don't remember Kelly having to actually dive for any of his saves, he had to put his hands to the side of his foot for Brown's shot and that was about it. As for comments on their 'pretty' football, I can't remember seeing a team pass the ball straight out the side of the park as much. We didn't do much but didn't have to, just had to be organised with the occasional bit of quality up front.
  13. Everyone in the Cooper Stand was convinced Grimshaw should have been launching a diving header at that. I still have no idea why we didn't get a corner after that, he seemed to give them a free-kick for some imaginary infringement.
  14. Yeah, I dropped a mate off in Hamilton and was back in Glasgow before they talked about anything other than Celtic. I'm guessing very few people vote for players, particularly subs, so a few high votes for Goss can skew the averages. Crazy for him to be top-rated, in fact all of the scores are unrealistically low.
  15. Quite partial to a Jarl myself (can't make my mind up if I gave you the like for the Jarl or the Cure reference). Anyway, red wine for me, sitting outside enjoying the warmish weather while I can.
  16. That's probably about right (but tight) for the home support but assuming you're leaving from the south stand I'd add on another 5-10 minutes.
  17. You're expecting the council to make a decision on Friday afternoon rather than clock off at 4pm and postpone it until Monday?
  18. I didn't even recognise him there, he's not looking well at all? Has he been ill and now recovering as I heard someone say Genesis are touring soon?
  19. I think it's the "suspension required " rather than "subscription ".
  20. She's a serious actress and you've not to look at her 'attributes '.
  21. The big deal is that if you've only subscribed to the football package and not paid more for the full sports package then you can't watch the Scotland game on the main event channel. The two football channels are showing Ireland and England under-21's.
  22. The red button gives 9 games other than the Ireland game - the Scotland game isn't one of them.
