18149 Anyone heading out on Wednesday night to cheer on the 'Gers in the UEFA Cup Final? :-)

I don't think i'll heading out to watch it as i'll be out for the Carlisle V Leeds match on the Thursday but i'd be hoping the Gers win. It would be good for Scottish Football would it not ?

Not being funny here but seeing as there is a best corner back thread running re GAA I have to say that Evra for Utd has been unsung and totally outstanding this season. O'Shea or Evra - no brainer!

agree, suprisingly Fletcher and Brown have also had pretty good years too when they have played.

Suprised no one mentioned it already, Tommy Burns RIP a total gentle man and a legend. I dont normally post on this thread but i thought i may as well seeing as every one was talking about foreign games without mentioning Tommy.

Totally agree re Tommy Burns
Legend.
Somewhere in Heaven there is a super Celtic team right now with Big jock managing them and JP2 the patron of the board ;)
The likes of Bertie Auld, Jinky, Phil O'Donnell, Jim McGrory and Bobby Murdoch

Good God i just killed Berite Auld :)
Was sure he was dead!!!!
Here wasnt TB also assistant to Dr Joe, or was it Wim Jansen, I am pretty sure he was assistant to one of them.
He had a spell in temporary charge there too a while back

Tommy has more or less always been part of the Celtic coaching staff for the guts of 15 years now, either as first team coach, manager, or assistant manager. He also spent time as Scotlands first team coach alongside Walter Smith

Is it now time to abolish the Senate?
Always watch Oireachtas Report and these lads do nothing!
Its just 'Jobs for the boys'!
Its supposed to be the 'upper house' but it is far from 'The House of Lords'!.....Its a joke!
Do we really need these guys to pass legislation anymore?
Failed second rate politicians, in politics for politics sake!
Its an absolute farce!

Snuff, I share your sentiments on the Seanad. Would love to see it revamped so that there were experts appointed from various sectors of society who could scrutinise legislation with a fine tooth comb. From Business, Sport, legal, medical and other professions, religious, youth etc to give considered opinions and amendments to legislation. The current lot our party apparatchiks who are rewarded for loyalty not ability
