Train to Stuttgart from Düsseldorf is taking about 3 hours with a change. However the return (after midnight) is showing 6 hours with a couple of changes. I might just book it as t&c’s are saying you’re not tied to a particular train so if a better option becomes available I can still take it.

The Morning Show starring Jennifer Anniston and Steve Carrell is very good. Well worth a look even if you only have a short term sub for Appletv 👍 -

We need a striker, a goalkeeper, a defensive mid of some stature and a left back. So, of course we’ve bought a feckin winger! 🙈 -
I’ve booked passage to Cologne but I’ve left the Stuttgart one out for now as return journey is unpalatable. I’ve got to assume extra trains will be announced after midnight at some point. Any thoughts @TA-West Germany?

Read the posts above you’ll get the gist of it. I can confirm it was pretty chilly in Greenock today. Thistle didn’t really turn up until a couple of late subs sparked them into life and they equalised shortly after. Cue lots of shouting, bickering, tasty tackles and penalty claims but no winner. There was a bit too much hoofball for my liking which I found strange as both teams looked better when the they got it down and built the game. I was driving this time so didn’t get to sample any pre/post match atmosphere. All in all though a decent way to spend a couple of hours. Next stop, back to NDP for the big Friday night cup tie. I’m getting a lift there and back so will have a few in whatever boozer is letting the sheep in. Friday night is a dead loss in Hamilton these days so I would have thought the boozers would be glad of the business but who knows. If Clyde score I’ll need to bite my tongue! -

Frank McAvennie was in that West Ham team. I’m going to a fundraiser next weekend and he’s going to be there. Most people will be softballing him questions like ‘what was your favourite goal?’ etc. I on the other hand will be demanding explanations on the Leyton Orient debacle! 😂 -

Maybe they’ll go in a ‘Stenny’ type run. Reminds me of a mad coupon I put on years ago. I’d had one up but half the games had been postponed so I only got about a tenner back. I decided to let it ride on the old 3 from each section the following weekend which happened to be FA cup 3rd round. With the clock ticking down all my games were up and I was in line for well over a hundred grand. Cue the old Grandstand cutting to a penalty at Leyton Orient vs West Ham. I had the hammers on my coupon and they were 1-0 up……. unfortunately the pen was for Orient and the feckers scored it to force a replay 🙈 Ive never forgiven West Ham or Leyton Orient for it. Didn’t put another coupon on for years after it either 😂 -

Aye, the third goal was an absolute peach 👍 I think McCall will have them roaring up the table in no time. I’m hoping to be at the cup tie as well m8 but I’ll be travelling with some of the flock so tickets will likely be in the away end but it’s not definite yet. -

Personally I don’t think we’ll go for either m8. It’s probably going to be some project nobody has heard of. What kind of fee would Aberdeen be looking for just out of curiosity, £5m? -

Fool Me Once (Netflix) really tries to be way too clever, with too many twists and irrelevant sub plots for my liking. Mrs Slasher and I were left wondering how we managed to stick with it for 8 episodes by the end 👎 -

Shankland would be a terrible fit for us imo. He doesn’t run, doesn’t press. I’m not doubting his ability or finishing but he just doesn’t suit our style of play. I’d be very surprised if we went there plus I’ve heard some questionable things about his attitude in the past, admittedly mostly from Aberdeen fans. I think a move to Rangers would suit him better. We’ve been linked with Miovski as well which probably would make more sense to me but I haven’t seen enough of him to say whether he’d be worth the sort of money the sheep will undoubtedly be looking for 🤷🏼♂️ -

Yeah I saw that m8. Isn’t it some sort of record run outside of the big two? Funnily enough I thought about you when I saw it, hope they keep it going and get that first title win, that would be incredible! I think you’re right about Clyde, still a lot of work to do but I think they will be ok. I’m looking forward to Cappielow, haven’t been there in years but I hope it’s a few degrees warmer 🤞🏻 -

It looks like all the teams in the shire are away from home next weekend apart from Accies. I don’t really fancy another trip to NDP so it looks like a wee jaunt down to ‘tail of the bank’ for Morton vs Partick Thistle for me 👍 -

I’m loving the story’ of 8 foot aliens running amok in Miami. Strangely in this age of the camera phone no one got a decent shot of one sadly. 🤔 -

Made it over to Hamilton today to see the famous Bully Wee record a rare win. A barnstormer of a first half trumped a second half fight back from Bonnyrigg. Pints taken before and after in the legendary Academical Vaults made for a pleasant afternoon despite the biting cold! 👍 -

Ffs that sounds dreadful! 😂 Listen we all have issues with poor officiating but this is not the way to go about it. I knew at full time it would turn into what it is now, a witch hunt. It was the same after we beat them at Ibrox, days of debate about a refereeing decision. Say what you want but under Brendan Rodgers this wouldn’t happen at Celtic. I wouldn’t be fuckin having it either. Look at yourselves first. The bottom line here is deflection from failure, it’s what they do. It’s all the sorer for them because they expected to beat us both times. A wee look at Twitter or X will tell you all you need to know about what it’s become and the club have enabled and encouraged it! -

Operation ‘Lets Get Collum’ in full swing now online and elsewhere but don’t worry it’s for the greater good. Embarrassing stuff! Any fan of any other club who is buying into this pish needs to take a long hard look at themselves. The way Rangers Fc go after individuals is disgusting and the fact that what I would term as decent Rangers fans now can’t seem to see it is disturbing. VAR process and protocol and transparency has always been important but suddenly because the huns throw a hissyfit it now becomes urgent to address it. I would like to know personally why the head of referee’s Crawford Allan was suddenly available to meet a complainant and why the huns were granted not only a meeting but access to VAR audio when others have been denied. Can you all actually take a minute to imagine what this would have looked like if these cunts had actually been victims of some sort of refereeing injustice? -

You’re wasting your time. They want Collums head on a stick and they think they might have something on him here. All this pish about transparency is just a smokescreen. You only have to look at the reaction to todays penalty award for Killie. Apparently conceding on average a penalty every 60 games is normal……let’s move on etc etc 😂 -
Haha, that’s brilliant, what a lovely surprise!

If there’s any credit due, it goes to the manager for getting a tune out of bang average players imo 👍 -

The huns have an endless capacity for embarrassing themselves. The fact that Clement made a cunt of himself with his post match comments was an added bonus. Of course, what he and they fail to focus on amidst all this shite over how a correct decision was arrived at, is their inability to expose a defence that contained Scales, Taylor and Welsh! Three players who shouldn’t be anywhere near a Celtic squad never mind starting eleven.
