Best Garmin I've ever had:

https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/p/pn/010-01614-06

Handy for the bike and swimming when you are injured!

A quick search could well turn up a used one that's been refurbished by Garmin for a reasonable price.

Derry 10 miler and Omagh half coming up.  Nowhere near race fit, carrying too much timber!

Is this an actual real life possibility this season or is it another bullshit topic instigated by the person whose own club haven't a team to their name?

Any idea how difficult it would be to get tickets for the league cup semi-final? 

I had flights and hotel booked for myself and the young fella for the St Mirren game that was due to be played on the day the semi-final has been set for. 

It would be a lot handier to go to the semi-final rather than re-arrange the whole trip!

I'll be applying for semi final tickets regardless if i go or not to ensure i'm in the draw for the cup final (hoping we get there), stay in touch come nearer the time and if they're available I can sort you out.


Got tickets sorted for this Saturday illdecide (Santa was sweating there for a while)!  Thanks for the offer though, much appreciated.

QuoteI need to drop some (a lot!  :() of weight and while I am running a couple of times a week I would also like to try to tone up a bit. I have access to a basic gym at work with dumbells/Weights/Benches but no machines as such. I have never been a gym goer but would be keen to try to go 2-3 times a week in my lunchbreak and was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent app with programs/exercises etc and track progress (sets/reps/weights) etc.

KeyLifts app is very good and the free version is all you will need to begin with. 

However, I would really advise that before you start get someone who knows what they are at to show you the correct technique for each kinda lift you want to do.  You should really find out what your one rep max is for each lift and then devise your workout from there.

I only started about 8 weeks ago having never even looked at weights in 30 odd years and the above has really helped me.

For the skiing experts!  Do you reckon someone with a serious fear of heights could cope with a skiing holiday?  Thinking of mountains, ski lifts etc.  Apologies for the stupid question!

I'd like to see the two fellas stay and don't think there is anything wrong with them looking for a few quid more.  We'd all chance our arm for a pay rise!

However, if Ange thinks they'll act the bollocks if they don't get what they are after then I'd trust him to make the right call.

Good to see all of Celtic men into the knockout stages of the World Cup also.  Don't know where Mooy suddenly got the mobility from though!

Thanks illdecide, really appreciate it.  Hopefully I'll get sorted but you may well get a shout!

I don't normally buy into the conspiracy stuff but the refereeing on Saturday past was dodgy as f*ck.  The guy in the middle was brutal and how the VAR ref didn't give the Ralston foul as a penalty was just bizarre.  Ralston went down very easily but he was clearly pushed in the back.  Still, 9 points clear will do!

QuoteLooking forward to my wee trip to Madrid, I'm heading tomorrow afternoon for Dublin Airport so fingers crossed we don't get a severe loitering over there, £220 for a match ticket wasn't ideal but it's good to have it on your phone before you go rather than scrambling over there looking tickets which normally is the case.

Good trip illdecide??

Group table doesn't lie and much to learn for Celtic but despite the results I'm not too disheartened.  Plenty of positives to take away and hopefully they will get another bash at it next season.  Aaron Mooy is absolute pish tho!!  Don't think Ange fancies Turnbull at all.

QuoteMaeda is a hammer thrower might as well have me on, he'll score 1 in 10 & botch half his crosses. He's  had his chance, time to try something else.

Couldn't agree more.  All effort and no end product.  I love Hatate but the amount of times he gives the ball away easily is criminal.  He gets away with it in the SPL but not at Champions League level, hopefully he will learn.

Important game tonight, a draw at the very least is needed.  Was at the Motherwell game on Saturday and Celtic were poor enough, just seemed to be a bit off the pace.  Think Ange is trying to rotate the squad which is understandable given the schedule coming up but it makes everything a wee bit disjointed.

Celtic to win 2-1.  I hope!  Haksabanovic starts, think he could be an inspired signing.

Back to football.  Any chance of beating Madrid?  Big Ange isn't going to change the style of play and that worries me, Starfelt in particular!

I imagine it's been a very difficult weekend for the Ballygalget club.  Lost a legend well before his time.  RIP Spike.  Used to love watching him play for club and county.

6 Sams, no argument that it's a fair point but yer man is a bullshit artist. Just look at some of the threads he has started. When questioned about his club (if he even has one) he goes dark.

Anyway, good luck to the seniors tomorrow. First time in 30 years I couldn't be arsed going.
