For the day that’s in it, tomorrow’s match at the home of Celtic is to be beautifully contrived for a novel.

Dear reader, it is wise advice to always believe people when they reveal themselves.

It’s always a fine day here when I can see over to Oileán Thoraí, so I won’t stay long here as I should already be on the bóithrín.

I’m told that Sevco’s likeable gaffer from Deutschland recently made a robust defence of his performance to the American owners.

The football cliché is that we are now at the business end of the season.

I reckon that the featured image would have been unthinkable even a few years ago.

Well, this all feels very like 2010.

Today I had a catch-up with Duncan Smillie of Celtic Supporters Limited.

Back in the glory days of the fanzine insurgency, I recall that the people at Not The View (NTV) referred to the Celtic Board as the “Politburo”.

I recall some wiseacre once pointing out to me the problems with the immediacy of the next beautiful game.
