    You don’t need to feel like a twat Tom (you’re already a referee, so that’s hard enough to deal with) :)

    We live and learn, but without the knowledge of what we don’t know, it’s not a surprise we sometimes draw the wrong conclusions. What you did great, was to watch the movie and learn a little more about what happened. Nothing wrong with learning from the new things we see and hear.

    “The Janners” - go on, enlighten me. I always thought they were the Pilgrims. Why the janners?

    From Wiki

    "Janner is an English regional nickname associated with Plymouth both as a noun and as an adjective for the local accent and colloquialisms."

    We might be feeling sad but I wonder how Celtic fans feel this evening losing 2-0 to the world beating Ross County. Apparently, the police are out in numbers as hundreds of disgruntled supporters descend on Celtic Park!!! Neil Lennon might well be shown the door but I feel their problems lie at the very top, the directors. With Rangers ready to run away with the SPL, with the humiliation of being taken to the cleaners by that European powerhouse, Sparta Prague and today's humbling at the hands of Ross County and their supporters being very angry, this might be the best thing for Celtic to sort themselves out in the long run.

    Exactly, Fats.

    Tragic about Papa Bouba Diop. Genuinely sympathetic to that lot down the road hearing the news. Seemed like the type of player/person who would have been very popular with us had he wore the red n white.

    Being retired doesn't quench my thirst for knowledge. Sometimes I sits and thinks sometimes I just sits.

    Watch us finally get a trip to a non league side when we can't go.

    Something other than a top half Championship club would be nice. Whether the FA or League cups, it seems to be all we ever get (other than fellow PL clubs).

    Sound issues with the BBC coverage. It's almost as if they prepared for Robbie Savage.
