About Me

Parkhead Bhoy

I'm a 52-year-old suffering from the debilitating disability known as Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita. Over the years as I've got older the condition has progressively got worse. So much so that I'm now wheelchair/housebound and totally reliant upon carers and of course my loving family to look after me.

Voice Recognition Software

As I've explained above I've 1 or 2 problems which means I have to do things differently from everybody else. The only reason I'm able to contemplate this blog or indeed communicate in the written form in any way is because of the marvellous invention that is Voice Recognition Software (VRS) & particularly Dragon NaturallySpeaking (DNS).

Without DNS I wouldn't be able to write a single word. I wouldn't be able to use Facebook, Twitter or indeed write a letter. I use DNS for every written word I produce. Every word contained within this blog will always be produced using the Dragon software without it I couldn't do this. So if you do find spelling errors or even typos please blame the software and not me.

"No To Bhoycott" Says Lennon?

Celtic manager Neil Lennon today urged the Celtic fans not to go ahead with their proposed boycott of SPL away fixtures. The Celtic Supporters Association (CSA) called for the Boycott earlier this month because of what they see as bias by the SFA against Celtic after a long history of SFA decisions going against the Glasgow club. The 6 week touchline ban imposed upon Lennon recently seems to have been the final act, the straw that broke the camel's back as it were and is what finally pushed the CSA into calling for the Boycott.

The boycott is due to commence with the game against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on the 2nd of March. According to the CSA, Celtic fans contribute 33% of the total income generated within the SPL by the fans. By depriving other teams of this income they believe they can convince the other teams to come around to their way of thinking and force SFA to reform its ways.

Lennon is convinced that any kind of boycott would have a seriously detrimental effect on the team because of the influence the support of the fans can have on the players.

Lennon said: "I don't think the club is supporting this action at all. The away support has been fantastic this season and we would miss them. But we will just have to get on with it if they are not there."

The support of its fans can prove crucial for any team and with the SPL this season proving to be such a close run race some are questioning the wisdom of a boycott with things being so tight. Celtic has many crucial games coming up and will need the help of their fans. The fixtures coming up before the proposed boycott are:

26/01/2011 Heart of Midlothian SPL 19:45 Home
29/01/2011 Aberdeen CIS Cup 15:00 Neutral
01/02/2011 Aberdeen SPL 19:45 Away
06/02/2011 Rangers S Cup 12:15 Away
13/02/2011 Dundee Utd SPL 12:00 Away
20/02/2011 Rangers SPL 12:30 Home
27/02/2011 Motherwell SPL 12:45 Away

So the question is: should the Boycott go-ahead or should the fans get firmly behind Celtic and support them to the hilt as they try and rescue the title away from Rangers? Only you the fans can decide. Let us know your thoughts and opinions on this and while you're here cast your vote on whether or not up the boycott should go ahead.
