I got texted it by my mate about half 8, he was at the Youth Cup game and 
said he heard it there.

Can't see it confirmed on Clyde 1 web site, BBC Football or TeamTalk.

The celtic official site doesn't mention it, and it seems pretty up to date 
as it has the Youth Cup final match report on it.

Apparently an announcement to be made by Celtic in the morning (Still 
praying it's just a sick joke)

I'm very glad to hear that he's continuing his treatment too. He's a
lovely man and I hope he has a full and speedy recovery.

Bit harsh there mate, I have always viewed burns in the 'decent guy' mould, 
dont see him as a Lennon type of character (hated). Met him a few times when 
he was manager of killie, first time being after they drew with Hamilton at 
Rugby park to gain promotion to the premier and he couldnt have been any 
nicer. Had a bit of banter about the old firm and he took it well and gave 
it back in good style as well.

He has been that way a long time , seems to want to spend most of his time 
talking about child abuse.Whats that they say about some people that always 
talk about it ? He is a very sick man,hijacks every thread to somehow 
include child abuse.Been going on ages with him.

Cheers VOR. Obviously there are Celtic and Rangers players that won't win 
popularity contests on the other side (e.g. Ferguson/Lennon). In contrast 
there are also players that are respected by the other side. Altho' the 
names of huns I like today don't naturally spring to mind ;). I think TB is 
a guy that is generally well liked within the game and I can't remember much 
criticism of him, just alot of respect.

The weird thing is the random cues that make him start thinking about it 
though. I say "cucumbers": Jim thinks about child abuse. I write about 
"toast and cheese": Jim thinks about kiddy fidlin'....what's all that 
about!?! Jim's only got one thing on his mind....

I was at that game as well.

Just ignore Jimmy Liar, his sad life is filled with hate.
