So, David Cameron is having a go at parents who smoke when the kids are in the car. At least we remember to put the kids in the car.<\/p>\n

Thought I’d get that off my chest.<\/p>\n

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has opened the door of opportunity to his fringe players after his “strongest ” line up made an arse of it against Aberdeen on Saturday;<\/p>\n

“It’s something we will now think about.<\/p>\n

“There are players here who deserve an opportunity, and we will have to take a look at that as the weeks and months go on.”<\/p>\n

The decision has been applauded by some, but seen as a bit too late by others. \u00a0Or both, by one guy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The manager spoke of giving players early breaks again, to help with preparations for the upcoming Champions League qualifiers. Because these first picks obviously need time off, after their winter break in Turkey and their day off last Saturday.<\/p>\n

“It seemed to work out okay for us last year, giving players early breaks.<\/p>\n

“They are two ( Izzagurre and Ambrose ) who may miss the Champions League qualifiers, so that is something we will have to consider.”<\/p>\n

Thats because of their involvement in the World Cup. Samaras is also likely to feature in Brazil, as is Fraser Forster. Is it significant he doesn’t seem to be counting on them for next year ?<\/p>\n

The boss also thinks Kris Commons could do with a break<\/p>\n

“The last couple of performances Kris has looked a little bit flat, and maybe we need to look at that.”<\/p>\n

Or maybe you could pick players that will help , rather than hinder him ?<\/p>\n

The same goes with new Norwegian signing Stefan Johansen, who must be frantically checking the small print on his contract to find the bit where it says he’ll have other players in the midfield alongside him every now and again.<\/p>\n

Although he was maybe a wee bit to blame for Aberdeens winner, it has to be said he never hid afterwards, and put in a hell of a shift. Lennon commented on this as well;<\/p>\n

“When players come in, you can be up there one week, and then the next…<\/p>\n

“That’s where I want my experienced players to rally round, and our big players didn’t turn up on Saturday.”<\/p>\n

There he goes again. “Big players ”<\/p>\n

How about referring to them as “idle bastards who have found their comfort zone \u00a0” ?<\/p>\n

Speaking of Fraser Forster, senile former England keeper Peter Shilton has warned the Celt that he will have to move south to get into the national team, despite being picked for the squad already while playing in Scotland just a year or two after bursting onto the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a goalkeeper you always need to be tested and he isn\u2019t being tested at Celtic now that they are out of the Champions League.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to knock Scottish football but if Forster was playing for a Premier League club week in week out and getting tested he\u2019d be in a better position than just standing between the sticks for Celtic and having very little to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cForster may get another half in the next couple of games as Roy will probably experiment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything could happen at a World Cup and your No.3 could get a chance. It doesn\u2019t have to be injury \u2013 it could be an illness.\u201d<\/p>\n

” Oh, look , a squirrel ”<\/p>\n

And he wandered off to find someone else to talk to. Anyone else, in fact.<\/p>\n

Shilton , of course , was a legend during his time in the England shirt, and is actually remembered with a great deal of fondness north of the border as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He also played at Leicester, and I spoke to a Leicester fan last night, who was looking forward to playing Manchester Utd next season. Even though his team are flying at the top of the Championship, he still doesn’t seem to think they’ll get promotion.<\/p>\n

But, its not all doom and gloom and shite in the papers-though you’d be hard pushed to find this under Keith Jacksons by-line.<\/p>\n

Ever hear of these guys ?\"\"<\/p>\n

They have just published their list of top teams in the world-based on results. Have a look at the team in 23rd.<\/p>\n

\u00a0As far as I’m concerned thats completely accurate.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to their site, the SPFL is the twenty fifth strongest league in the world, behind, er, Ecuador, Korea and Saudi Arabia, but ahead of Austria , Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Spain has the strongest league, with England in second.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mind you, the sites credibilty is in question. They have Howard Webb down as the worlds best referee. No Scots made the list, but it only went as far as the top eighty thousand.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
More gossip-we hear chunky Rangers boss Ally McCoist had offered to visit flood affected areas on the English south coast, but the offer was rejected in case he fell in \u00a0 and sent water levels spiralling.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I hate to mention him, because he the sort of journalist who makes you beg for a bit of Bill Leckie, but Adrian Durham, has offered his tuppence worth on Neil Lennon;<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

” The cup failures mean this season goes down as a bad one for Lennon. In terms of how good a manager he is, he can only truly be judged when he has the motivation to get out of the comfort zone and tackle a real challenge.<\/p>\n

The Championship in England, for example. ”
\nD<\/a>urham, a sort of English Derek Johnstone without the credibilty of a career in the game, is obviously seeking a reaction, as Celtic fans are renowned for ringing up chat shows and complaining.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0Instead, I’ll just show you a picture of him, so you can say a silent prayer of thanks to the lord that you neither have his looks or his intelligence.<\/div>\n

Roll of Honour is in the top twenty! Which kind of makes me a groovy dad. \u00a0I’m off to cash in on this trend with my versions of Go home British Soldiers and My Old Mans a Provo.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0I’ll have to be quick though, I’ve just seen the promo video for Simon Cowells new band. \u00a0Never misses a chance to make a few bob that lad.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Joking apart, get Roll of Honour downloaded. If only to hear a BBC dj announce it when he plays the hit parade on Radio One on Sunday.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Mind you, the way they bleep the words out these days, it’ll sound like the microwaves knackered.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Meanwhile, Valentines day is almost upon us, and if you are struggling to think of a present for your other half, then heres a hint from Second Rangers, who have come up with this novel and refreshing slant on the occasion;<\/div>\n

\u00a0So, the lass buys him a brick, they go under again, what could possibly go wrong with that scenario ?<\/div>\n

Wim Jansen was pictured in yesterdays diary, during his time with the Dutch national team. He was actually one of the players Archie Gemmill skipped past when he scored against the Netherlands in 1978, when they were called Holland.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Right, who’s this fellow ?<\/div>\n
