don't even joke about that Stutts, heard a few things recently about what happens to Lennon's family in Scotland that shocked me

That worst one was him being attacked at traffic lights (by two middle class medial students no less) and punched with his young daughter screaming in the passenger seat.

missed a penalty in the Scottish Cup Semi Final

**geysir** · 17/04/2011, 1:10 PM

A second penalty (nailed on variety) awarded to Celtic after Stokes was needlessly taken/chopped down, near the end line.
Stokes didn't take it though.

He had a hand in all four goals, assist for the second.

Lovely heavy touch from Anto to draw the tackle. Gruesome match.

I didn't watch much of the game but Stokes looked like he was playing well. I heard a few comments about a 'soft penalty'. I don't know which penalty the reference was for, maybe both? Of course anything can happen with a scottish ref but what else can you say when Stokes was chopped down by a two footed, studs up, late lunge, with no stud making the slightest contact with the ball.

Used to love the Players as my local in days of yore.

This though us a cracking line:

Joe and Richard don't just look at a glass being half empty or half full. The remaining water is enslaved in a glass prison created by the thirsty forces of international capitalism which have drained the rest.

there are a few gems in that article alright! I posted it over on the Current Affairs forum and the humour wasnt appreciated!

I'm banned from that forum unfortunately, as I'm sure there are a lot over there masquerading as well informed, know it alls about the economy and what not when really they have been praying at the altar of the Porcelain Priest, revering at the inner sanctum of one Armitage Shanks(aka Reverend Rectum).

Just scored against Kilmarnock from inside the box to the top left corner of the goal. Kilmarnock 0-4 Celtic.

**Junior** · 20/04/2011, 8:21 PM

Rifled it home, great finish. Needed it as well as he's missed a couple of chances. Has put in a good shift, can spot a pass as well can young Anthony.

Celtic play Rangers on Sunday at Ibrox, will Stokes get the start or will Lennon revert to Samaras?

On a side note, Ryan O'Leary played CB for Kilmarnock. Son of Pierce(Sp?), Nephew of David, born in Glasgow. Dont think we'd be looking at him too closely if Kilmarnocks defensive performance tonight is anything to go by......

He declared for Scotland a few years ago

**Junior** · 20/04/2011, 8:47 PM

I knew you'd be on the ball Tets! however I presume he hasnt yet played competitively for Scotland, not that Im advocating even looking at him, if he's made his choice then good luck to him.

**paul_oshea** · 20/04/2011, 9:19 PM

Haha did anyone see the bbc report on the stuff.quite anti the protestant Scottish background.showed Celtic fans holding scarfs aloft and then it show hillbilly inbred beer belly missing tooth oafs jumping around drunk with union jacks around their bare chested shoulders.brilliant.

they then intervieed an expert from Edinburgh university called tom devine lovely Irish name who said and i paraphrase certain members of the rc hierarchy believe it is not rooted in two communities hatred of eachother but in a basic sectarian anti catholic anti Irish bigotry in Scottish society. from a catholic of an Irish background.i think they needed a Jew or a Muslim expert giving his opinion.

Would you rather Ally McCoist then?

**geysir** · 21/04/2011, 9:48 AM

A good all round display from Anthony last night away to Kilmarnock.
He has given himself a decent chance to be selected on Sunday, also aided by his nemesis Samaras having a sub appearance where everything that could go wrong..did!

Lovely 4th goal from Anthony
