After Celtic tried to sign Neptune the Roman god of the sea last time around, they ended up with fourth choice, Mowby Dick and gave us rangers supporters a whale of a time. Even his prize predator Keano failed to get into the deep end with Broxi bear and the Ibrox minnows. C-Reid and his zoologists from the deep dark depths hit us with their new circus act. Lenny the Lie-on. A lie-ons roar can be heard for 5 miles a fact I am sure the SFA are well aware of by now. A Lie-ons behaviour is such: Threat Displays Lie-ons exhibit a multitude of threat displays to let the other lie-on know that they are ratcheting up the agonistic encounter. Lie-ons rarely ever engage in a full scaled fight, but threat displays and intimidation are used extensively to settle arguments. The following is a list of possible threat displays in increasing order of ferocity: 1) Snort, grunt, and/or growl without looking in the direction of the antagonistic lie-on 2) Push away opposing lie-on with head, front paw, or hind leg 3) Audibly blow air through nostrils while glaring at opposing lie-on 4) Snarl and bare teeth with retracted ears 5) Snarling followed by snapping with jaws 6) Standing tall then leading to a lunge or chase Defensive/Submissive Displays If the lie-on wants to ratchet down the level of the agonistic encounter, the lion can use one of the following displays to submit to the dominant lion in the encounter: 1) Step aside and/or evade the dominant lie-on 2) Jump aside or straight up in the air 3) Lift paw in the air in a defensive/blocking manner 4) Duck down and lower body to the ground 5) Lower body to the ground (#4) and press head sideways onto the ground 6) Crouch down and retract ears and either wag tail or cease movement 7) Crouch down, retract ears, and slowly back away 1) Roll onto one’s back –– expose vital organs and display complete submission All of this behaviour was very evident to see on Sunday as Rangers forced Lenny and the wisonce lie-ons into ultimate submission. The king of the Jungle whipped by a dancing bear. Actually this tale is insulting to a lion. A Lion has a Pride. Celtic can have no Pride at all.

I think I did Craig, maybe I am not catching your drift. while your coach is walking about trying to get sight of a tv screen my supporters are throwing chairs at the referee for disallowing an excellent goal that is made in official play. Maybe that is why Platini doesn't want it there are so many grey areas.

Craig you are talking about a sport(unfortunately and despicably) where in Rio de Janeiro they shoot each other, in Glasgow the odd slashing is known to happen and a boy was murdered a few years back for wearing a rangers top. Do you honestly believe that these people think oh well I know the rules then okay. I know these incidents are extreme but I honestly don't believe football fans are near ready to say we scored sir but the telly shows you should have had a penalty. Tally Ho.Stopping the game costs little time as seen in Rugby and there was also a football game that the fans reacted on a replay before the kick-off had taken place. It has to be stop the game for me the video ref will mostly have reviewed the images before the players are on their feet again.

Sorry Craig I think that would be a disaster. The refs are getting Death threats now just imagine what would happen if he gave a goal and then disallowed it for a penalty at the other end. Plus while trying to follow play he has to confer with a video referee. No, that is far too complicated. stop the game and make a decision within a minute.

After watching Aberdeen - Hibs on Saturday I think Aberdeen need to build a new stadium as well. With half the capacity! Either that or they should buy those blow-up sheep from a sex shop and fill the empty seats.

Don't believe in a play-on. What would happen if the other team scored in that 20 seconds all hell would break loose as the game had not stopped. Just as in Tennis or Rugby(I think) you are allowed to call 3 decisions but for football i would make that 2. The Ref can use it when he feels he needs it. You should only be able to challenge a penalty,sending off or a goal or disallowed goal(Offside, handball,over the line) not for every decision the ref makes. Only decisions that really count. Offside on the 30 yard mark where you may have scored, tough shit. Yellow card tough shit. etc.

Mr Platini have you ever thought of putting all those TV camera's that are used to scrutinise the Refs to their advantage so as they get all decisions right. Probably yes but then you can't manipulate any games any more.

I wonder if he dares to show up. A few weeks on a sickie?

Normally you could laugh this off as some school kids mischief but with the the tim supporters love of terrorism you never know if there are still some wannabe's amongst them who see this as an opportunity to mak a name for themselves.

Don't hold your breath!

Well there is a surprise. To be honest it didn't really warrant any ban but neither did McGregor for the Aberdeen incident

I agree this proves the ref saw it but i don't agree it proves it was a penalty. Broadfoot could have hit Majstorovic. If that penalty had been given against Rangers i would have been fuming as well. I will say Majstorovic did make himself large though so i suppose he was inviting a dive.

WV I seen you were on tonight can you not send this photo to the authorities to prove the Ref was right?

This is the photo the tims are showing but the photo from WV clears up any doubt. The Ref saw it. I still don't think it was a penalty though, I think Broadfoot hit Mej.. Me... the Celtic player, as much as he hit Broadfoot. http://img258.imageshack.us/i/cheatd.jpg/

Okay that was the easy question. now name the ones that are sober.

Just as long as Qwerty doesn't become Queerty and you end up with a sore bum.

Are you reading the Celtic View!

Love this.

I should explain as well the Dutch use ij as a Y so it is mostly only in English you see a y.

It is Johan Cruijff and the uij also make a ou sound so it is Johan Crouff

Funny thing their feeder club excelsior are sitting higher than feynoord.

I only seen the highlights as the 1st half was at the same time as the OF 2nd half. I had to work on my car after the game so i didn't see the second half. Feynoord are financially in a worse position than us owing an estimated 50mill euro's. They have gone down the road we thought we might have to in promoting youth players to the first team. They are lying 15th(on the same points as 16th) in the league and have to play No. 17 next week. They seemingly have a fantastic youth team that are just not quite ripe enough for the first team and they are trying to bridge the gap until the they can bring these players forward. They simply have no money to buy. They went down 2-0 and down to 10 men. After the break they just seemed to cave in. I will also say some of the PSV goals were superb from the Brazilian Jonathan Reis. He is totally electric. PSV have helped him through a drugs and drink problem and their patience is now paying off. Highlights: I don't know if you can watch this as i can't watch British highlights but i will post it anyway. http://www.eredivisie.nl/video/autoplay/31075/samenvatting_psv-feyenoord.html

Ha Ha Love the Celtic in Europe one. Is that an Easy Jet advert: In and out of Europe in 180 mins.
