Celtic Beat Killie As Usual And Could Philadelphia Hold The Answer To The Famine Song Problem?

Midweek Diddy Cup ties are usually as welcome as a ansaphone message from Russell Brand and Jonathon Woss. Ok, note all 27,000 that complained aboot this. GET A LIFE and goin' amuse yerself's watching Songs Of Praise and eating an apple tart.

Still, as Celtic safely passed by The 'Marnocks, we really did pass them to death, oor Big Cup foes, Villarreal, were getting papped 5-0 by Poli Ejido, which sounds like a sair STD, passed on by Russell Brand, who reside the Spanish 2nd Division B in Copa Del Reya.

After losing 3 goals against Aalborg BK, 4 goals against Athletico Madrid and now 5 against Poli Ejido, 3 teams that are gash, the Yellow Submarine don't look such a daunting prospect. In fact I will predict we might get a shot on goal and a few corners when we meet at El Paradiso in December.

3 And Easy For The Yellow Celts.

Celtic, in the most ghastly yellow kit seen since Hibs on Saturday, dispatched 3rd place The 'Marnocks wie embarressing ease last night. While it's always delightful to beat the future Scotland manager, Jim Jeffries, wie ease it also highlighted the problems we have on the bigger stage. See: Trafford Ballpark last week. 

A reader of this blog said on hearing the team line up that it was dodgy, lacked presense and that he liked a 'bigman' up front. While, revealing too much aboot readers of this blog sexual preferances, he was correct as we looked poor wieoot the ball but good wie it. A John Barnes 4-2-2-2 formation seemed to be the formation wie Aiden McGeady and Nakamura being given floating roles and the fullbacks being told to overlap and give us width.

It worked. Goals from Scott McDonald, a trademark freekick from Nakamura and a goal of the season contender from Aiden McGeady made sure we get The Huns in the semi-final and a chance to lay the ghost of Bert Konterman to rest.

Still, The 'Marnocks did their best to try and kick us off the park. After 25mins, future Scotland manager, Jim Jeffries, made a change and brought on Gavin Skelton. His remit? Boot Nakamura. He did 4 or 5 times in the space of 7 or 8 mins. Nakamura was promptly booked by Craig Thomson who was last nights M.I.B for pointing this oot to him.

Oor manager, not in jest, said: "It was crazy he was the one that got booked" and Celtic Captain and MOTM, Gary Caldwell, also waded in wie: "He was dominating the game by getting on the ball"- that is open to question, I thought McGeady was the main thorn-"They tried to stop him by kicking him and it's up to the referee to sort that out but he didn't"

Getting kicked and being physical is part of the game. But being OTT about it is not. The fact is after his treatment in the first period Nakamura did not return for the 2nd and is now doubtful for Sunday's game wie knee-ouch.

Still the manager was happy. "I am happy that we got through and also happy about the performance against the team who are 3rd in the league and were desperate to beat us. We handled everything tonight"

The performances of Scott Brown, Aiden McGeady and Scott McDonald, whom unlike some can score against top 6 clubs in the SPL made us happy Hoops going into Sunday's game against Hearts of Lithuania.

Celtic Scout Belts Chico

It has come to light that some of the most useless faces in the Scottish public domain had a game of fitba' against each other last Sunday. The game against so-called Politicians and so-called Sports writers ended when lifelong Hun St.Mirren fan, Chic Young was, what as known in the game as being 'Sounessed' by the MSP for Scotland and mid Fife, John Park. This lead to handbags at 10 paces and the game being abandoned.

I think, I speak for EVERY Celtic fan here when I say well done Mr Park but.....shouldnae you be looking for a left back?

The Streets Of Philadelphia.

This story came to LoTW when he was flicking through The Wall Street Journal checking on his stocks and shares. The Philadelphia Eagles, The Huns of the NFL or could that Buffalo Billys?, have decided to keep their notorious patrons, see the patrons of Philly celebrations when they won the recent rounders American Championship- World Series ma arse- under a watchful eye by coming up wie a system that allows you to shop a rowdy fan by TEXT MESSAGE.

You simply text yer section, seat number and security will arrive and eject the arsehole. Leonard Bonacci director of events at The Eagles said: "I have 3000 people on my staff but with texting I have 70,000 eyes".

We hear that The Huns are going to bring this system in regarding the singing of The Famine Song. You, Simply The Best, text yer seat number, section and the word FAMINE to "Rangers1690" and some polis will comedoon and lift you.

LoTW thinks it will be a great sucess.

A Trip To The Tynecastle Flats.

Sunday sees us going to the city that read this blog the most outside London. They never comment right enough. Anyway the soon to be demolished Tynecastle sees Celtic take the best away record in Scotland this season to take on another one of Romanov's puppets, this time in the shape of Csaba Laszlo.

He seems to have Hearts going ok. There record of W4 D2 L4 is an improvement on last season and they have only dropped 4 points at home all season. But.....wie no wins in 4 games, D2 and L2 means that we should be going into this as favourites.

Oor managers record at the Tynecastle Flats is so, so. W2 D1 L2 wie oor last visit being one of the worst games of last season and a 1-1 draw after Celtic Captain, Gary Caldwell, gave away a soft penalty. Mick McManus and the injured Jan Vennegoor of Hesslelink are the main Littlehunskelpers wie 3 goals each but the improving Scott McDonald scored on his last visit.

Wie injuries ruling oot Hesslelink (Hesslelinkitis), Samaras (Knee-Ouch), Crosas (Hammie-Ouch) and maybe Nakamura (Killie-Ouch), Robson and Hartley could be getting penciled in to the A4 Notebook for starting berth against what will be a robust test. Could the manager be tempted again to pitch in Craig Beattiealike Cillian Sheridan after Shaun Maloneys poor performance against The 'Marnocks?

Ex-Playerism, comes in the form of Paul Hartley. Since Hartley now gets a nosebleed when he goes over the halfway line and wie him only having 2 Celtic goals to his name then you will get a decent price for him scoring at anytime.

Still, as predicted on this very blog, we scored from a corner against The 'Marnocks- c'mon even though it wisnny a CB that scored I did say we are now dangerous from them and I did predict a 3-1 scoreline- and I can see this happening again. But.....Gary Caldwell will score from this. I fancy Skippy will score as well and we will win 3-1. Once again we wont keep a clean sheet.

That's it. It's over. The Hail Hails are open for comments. Thanks to Number 7 on KDS for the picture.
