Choked with the cold so a day on the couch with the footie (and NFL later) beckons.

Been watching the first part of the Ajax game but Aberdeen vs Celtc beckons - another game that Sky are covering, featuring Celtc on Remembrance Sunday...I sincerely hope the game is memorable for the football rather than any possible problems that might arise.

West Brom vs Newcastle and Swansea vs Arsenal also to come this afternoon as well as some tasty fixtures from Europe later (Roma vs Torino, PSG vs Marseille).

Currently 1-0 down to Halifax.

Whilst I'm far from a poppy fascist (and recognise that each individual has the right to chose whether to wear one or not), are Celtc the only club in the UK who, as a club, have elected to not have one on their shirts?

I recognise people like James McLean making the choice to not wear one (and outlining his reasons thus in an open letter) but as a club, are there any others out their disgusting enough to take a club-wide stance?

The 2pm FA Cup ties are under way and good luck to Maidstone Utd @ Stevenage. They are a really good side to watch.

Keep an eye on Braintree, especially their young forward, Simeone Akinola. He's a recent signing from Harrow Borough and is a really promising looking talent.

Bradford picked up after half time but thought Halifax could have had at least a couple in the 1st half and had a few chances and half chances late on.

Hibernia&Alba

Yes, it's certainly possible. To be fair to Celtic, they made a £10,000 donation to Poppy Scotland this week. As for booing a minutes silence from some of their support, I think they're reading history wrongly. Remembrance Sunday is a legacy of WW1, in which thousands of Irishmen also died. I understand why commemorating the British armed forces is problematic to some whose experiences of them are negative e.g. former empire nations, and ultimately war is a barbaric business. For every act of heroism there is an act of brutality. The problem is unpicking those contradictory strands - the Somme from Bloody Sunday.

A donation is a decent gesture but the reason the entire squad did not display poppies on their shirt is because the fans made a song and dance about it two seasons ago. 'No blood stained poppies on our hoops' was their banner. Although it actually said 'no bloo stained poppies' since the morons spell all their banners incorrectly(Celtc). The club gave in to pressure, which is wrong IMO

Another point for Everton. I am extremely surprised by the underperformers in the English Premiership this season. At the beginning I expected Liverpool, Everton and Spurs to be in the top 6... I hope Southampton can continue to hold onto 2nd place.

I wonder what Spurs fans expect of their manager?

I was telling Mrs Bollah about the booing. She was flabbergasted (being English she doesn't fully grasp the sectarian pish up here) but said she thought it was a good thing that sky muted the mics, so as not to offend normal' people. Which is an argument I suppose, but yet again the media will just ignore it. Sectarianism and bigotry is our nations open secret.

On a sensitive day, I suppose I get that argument actually HB.

I really do wish Sky would stop covering their games on Remembrance Day - sadly, it's both predictable and inevitable.

If they were going to protect sensitivities though, they could have muted their mics the entire game as their pro-IRA repetoir was in full voice throughout the game.

The thing that annoys me is that there are active members of the British military who are Celtc fans. There's a significant portion of their crowd who AREN'T so heinous and probably find this as nauseating/cringeworthy as the rest of us - they really need to police from within but they've become such a large minority that they're a law unto themselves.

In fairness to a lot of the Celtic fans there today, having seen various bits of footage on Facebook abd Twitter, this does seem like an occassion when it genuinely is a minority involved. A lot of the later shouts actually sound like people shouting down those disrupting the silence.

A minority is still too many of course.

See I wish that they wouldn't mute the mics - let those ****bags be shown up for what they really are and be shamed on national television. I don't see why they should be 'protected' in anyway. If those idiots want to be shameful enough to boo, chant etc through a minute silence commemorating the soldiers who gave their lives then they should be shown up for it IMO.

Once again those vermin have shown their vile true colours. Utter embarrassment. Once again though the relevant authorities will be quick to sweep it all under the carpet and move swiftly along with the "nothing to see here folks" attitude. God forbid challenge the mighty old firm eh!

:agree: I always remember listening to an elderly Celtic fan who called one of these radio phone in shows (I think it was Your Call on Sportsound but I could be wrong) a few years ago around Remembrance Sunday and it was discussing Celtic fans disrupting a minute's silence and this man made exactly the same point you've just made.

He spoke about how his grandfather and his great grandfather had both served in the British Army and both had been killed whilst on active duty. They were both Celtic fans and were both very proud to serve their country.

This man was absolutely disgusted by the behaviour of these idiots and I can always remember the anger and the sadness in his voice. He struggled to understand how fans of the club he loved could behave in such a disrespectful way in memory of their fellow Celtic fans.

Wilshere's the Lewis Stevenson of the south. Looked an excellent prospect many years ago but neither improved nor learned to kick the ball with his right foot. (Come to think of it, Lewis doesn't fall over all the time appealing for imaginary fouls, so the comparison's not exact.)

Who knows..?

I don't get the recent obsession with poppys on football jerseys. Only appears to have came in the last ten years or so since the illegal invasions of of Iraq and Afghanistan.

How many were on show in the Hibs support on Saturday? I was behind the goal and saw hardly any, yet it appears everyone in the public eye HAS to wear one or they get lambasted, be it football players or managers, news anchors, tv presenters, commentators - everyone.

Its almost hilarious that some people can't see the irony in having a go at an individual or football club who used their rights to not wear a poppy (Not at you directly, more at the hissy fits various social media platforms were throwing up last night) yet like to remind us "they fought for your freedom"... Couldn't make it up.

Two Celtic fans were arrested during the Remembrance Sunday silence before the game against Aberdeen at Pittodrie.

they were charged with assault, doesn't give the full story though, possibly assaulting fans who were booing, maybe not

Another two men, aged 24 and 29, were arrested elsewhere in the stadium for unrelated offences.

In a silent environment it one individual can make a right nuisance of himself. 5 -10 out of an away support of a couple of thousand making a nuisance of themselves is nothing to really be getting bothered out. A crowd of 18000 observed a minutes silence and while I don`t care for Celtic and their fans much, there is no stick to beat them with here in the grand scheme of things.
