Aalborg BK Fallout, Aiden McGeady In Bust Up (Maybe), Celtic In Chant Row (Sic), Peter Lawwell Stays At Celtic and Kilmarnock Away.

"Dodgy You Tube Clips......lovely jubbly"

Welcome LoTWites to the weekend edition of LoTW. If your reading this you must not have anything better to do and are as sad as me for typing it. Lot's for me to talk about and for youse not to Hail Hail about. Remember, you don't need to be logged in to Hail Hail, you can be as 'Anon' as you are at that meeting you attend on a Tuesday night. 

Now the Big Cup dream is over for another season, barring a miricle or a pack of flying monkey's attacking the incumbents of Old Trafford and El Madrigal, eating their legs, arms and heads causing the incumbents to send out their under 14 squads against us, when we would still struggle to win away from home.

But if that doesn't happen and we don't get a point from El Madrigal then why don't we just play a weakened team in the double header against Man Utd, saving the team for domestic games and bring out the full strenght XI for the 2nd leg, UEFA Vase winner takes all game in Denmark? Makes sense as we are only in the Big Cup to make up the numbers according to some.

Oor poor showing on Wednesday has had some rent a quotes coming out and having a kind off pop. Andy Townsend, a guy who is as English as Saint George but ended up being capped for the Republic Of Ireland, decided to give us this pearl of wisdom....."There is no money there and they are not prepared to spend at the next level"........and insight that is so earth-shattering Gordon Smith has called him to see how to fix the Scottish game. 

So, we have little money, we won't spend money and guys like Georgios Samaras are average at Big Cup level. It as pointless as all the callers on his and Mike Parry's Radio show.

There also could be a case of media putting 2 plus 2 together and getting 5 or that they have guessed that the Aiden McGeady getting dropped for the European game is part of a wider fall out at the club. I think we all know that Aiden and oor manager don't see exactly eye to eye but wie the same newspaper printing 3 negative stories about Celtic today and them not having any direct quotes I think we can assume it's, maybe, Boomsung.

We hope it's Boomsung as if it's not there will only be one winner if it ends up a Barry Ferguson v Paul Le Guen type fight. If it does end up a fight, is it wrong for LoTW to hope it's on TV and involves custard?

We knew this was going to happen. The tit for tat has started after the famine song incident wie some MP letting the press know that he was faxing Celtic before Celtic knew and Celtic releasing the usual bland statement. 

Celtic's bland statement doesn't do enough. It's time to get the gloves off either way. Tell us what is allowed or defend the right of the members of the support that chose to sing the songs that the authorities deem offensive.

Too football. We travel to Ayrshie to take on greeting faced Jim Jeffries Kilmarnock. When greeting faced Jim Jeffries won the manager of the month award he decided to take that opperchancity to say how great The Huns were. He also never went on a greeting faced rant when The Huns got a soft penalty against Kilmarnock, when "We know where you stay" Nacho Novo done a Jan Vennegor last week. If we had got that penalty we would have been hearing about it for 10 years.

So, we travel to face the in-form Kilmarnock who have won their first 2 home games 1-0. The only goals they have lost were at Ipox last week so the chances of a 5-1 scoreline like the last time we visited Kilmarnock are slim.

The interest for Celtic, apart from who we can blow the chance of 3 points this week, is what will oor very own Tinkerman do to the team on Sunday? Wie no injuries but surely some fatigue from the Big Cup game, going sidewards is knackering, we are expecting changes. This could mean Crosas, Hartley, Jan Vennegoor and Aiden McGeady all coming in for starts. None of these players starting weakens the team. So what will the manager do?

Wie us being undefeated in oor last 6 visits to Rugby Park, scoring 16 goals and losing 5, this should be a stick on victory. Last season it would have been but Kilmarnock are a different beast now. A slender victory seems the best we can hope for due to the Big Cup hangover.

Wie Andy Townsend mentioning lack of money and ambition it's a decent time to mention that Peter Lawell has decided to stay at CP. So, like Celtic the (Un) Sharp Suited Man has showed ambition by deciding to turn his back on Arsenal and becoming property developer in North London. The air miles and all the coffee you can drink in Munich, Amsterdam, Paris airports talking to Mr 15% who you are never going to do business wie must be a great gig.

All of Timdom rejoices at this and wonders if he will ever sign a left back.

That's it over. Hail Hails are open and the best ones may get mentioned in next weeks LoTW. We haven't had a Hail Hail of the week for a while as they have all been, well, Boomsung. Including mine. Here's to 3 points......
