Can't believe its four more sleeps. Possibly three more. Can't see myself getting a wink of sleep on friday night. Shiteing it now

McCall talked him up yesterday and I'm sure knows his ability well from training so would be good to see him offered a contract knowing that when Darren goes he'll have his chance.

What length of contract did Lee Hollis sign? There is a feeling in the back of my mind it was only for one year and everyone is overlooking him as he hadn't played for us. However, he looked good yesterday, one game doesn't make the man, but if we do get offered enough to let Randy go, it would be nice to know we have his understudy ready to fill his place, maybe then bring someone in to compete with Lee without having to worry about looking for a ready made number 1?

If McCall played a full strength team in the last two games and Murphy and Sutton both picked up bad knocks and we were forced to play Casagolda at some point during the cup game, would McCall be being praised for having done the right thing on the run up to the final?

Your right that he has put together a good team. Thats the problem though, he has a team which has shown themselves to be better than Rangers several times this season, BUT Lennon didn't keep it together some could argue when needed too. Plus he should have been bringing in a decent CB rather than spending a stupid amount of money on an underwear model who has hardly kicked a ball all season. Lets just hope he crumbles next weekend.

23rd of July

The Celtic fans all staying behind to cheer on Lennon and his team even though they haven't won the league. I wonder if Lennon had a season of no death threats ect if they would not have been baying for his blood and demanding a new manager? The man has worked wonders in making himself an iconic manager to their fans without lifting any silverware

FT. Up and on to bigger things next week. Nerves to start really kicking in anytime now for me.

Samaras MOTM. Shame he can't hit a pen. If any blame can be put on one man its him.

Game on. Gasagolda is coming on.

Fobres just putting a tough tackle on Hooper Humph off. McHugh on.

Hope Hutchy is ok. We have other defenders who can step into his place, but Hutchy has shown some ability this season we can't just replace that easily.

"Wilson is not entirley clear of discomfort." We someone boot him in the knee again before he gets taken off

Wilson down. Thanks Jones

Night before when I get in from work I'll play LA Noir, end up no being able to sleep so will just play away at said new game all night. The morning of the game pub for 11am, drinks and hot filled rolls. On the bus at 1.15pm, leaving from Carluke with our cargo. Wee bit o' singing, plenty good banter, laughing at silly jokes to distract us all from our nerves for what lies ahead.

Fuck all this singing about Neil Lennon pish. I'd rather sing the praise of our boys, who deserve it and try get them up for it and let them know we appreciate them getting us back to the Scottish Cup Final after 20 years in exile. Than sing about some wee ned and get the players who love him to fight that bit harder for him.

Aye it was Grella we couldn't get due to clearance due to him having played for 2 other teams. Maybe McCall will still see some uses for him, but can we afford his full wages?

There some amount of people on this board who love nothing more than to moan about the people who moan, yet they do it in a way that suggests they'd never be caught moaning on an internet forum. Contradicting crying fuckbuckets. Anyway, the top itself is smashing, but I really get what people are saying who are upset this isn't our first team top, its a perfect top to use as our first team top, and the lettering rather than the team badge would signify our historically year wonderfully. I'll buy one after I get paid if I have money to spare after the final that is.

If you didn't expect people to buy it, then wouldn't it just be terrible buissness practice to produce it? Surely expectation of sales is the basis for which products must be modelled against before being produced? You would never put money behind a top and not expect people to want to buy it.

Sat in the home end at celtic park after getting some free ticketsvduring that 1-0 win over us this season. Wore my Well top but tucked it in to my jeans and covered it with a nutrual scarf and jacket wit the hopes of opening my jacket on the way out if we won (once I was close enough to some polis right enough, that way I'd have been protected and ensured a quicker exit from the ground), didn't happen of course. Didn't react to their goal. However there was some bloke behind me who kept talking about how good Izaguirre was playing, but everytime he said his name it sounded like 'is he garry'. "See that is he garry, hes been fucking brand new the night." From that night on I've refered to Izaguirre as Garry, I think it suites him.

If we sell only a quarter of that everyday from now on we'll have sold our full allocation by late Friday afternoon. Would only mean shift an extra 500 season tickets between today and then on top of everyone else buying their 4 tickets. Not impossible at all considering all the free tickets getting given away this year.

I was going to suggest we bought loads of thrumpets ect since I noticed the boys down the end had a drum already, but I don't have the time to go learn a new instrument so lets roll with that original idea. I'm no sure I've got the money to get a teeth whiten sadly, wouldn't be a good idea anyway the best fans in the world would think we were doing it tae rip their managers teeth.

We should just get a collection of samba beats and beat it out all game full volume. The players should train to it, so they are used to just draining it out. The boys at the far end of the east would no doubt come up with songs to go with the music. There will never be enough people at Fir Park to create a massive atmosphere. However, just imagine how imposing it would be for visiting teams if they couldn't hear themselves over the loud music while they play and all the fans in the east are dancing to it. I'll just dream on

Aye row s if you can get it would be the baws. Sadly at the time we could'nt get 2 seats together on the back row, if you could get row s near the middle of the east you'd never give that seat up though.
