Re: Fwd: Stop. Reverse.

[Ryan W <ubiquitous_am_i@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry guys and gals, forgot to mention that the
"official" word out of Celtic camp is that the delay
is due to bloodwork from Jiri and Raef that has yet to
come back from the lab.  I, however, doubt this
"official" word, as Jiri was seen, per FSNE, on the
practice floor...if he hadn't been cleared to play, he
wouldn't have been on that court.

Alas, we'll know by morning what's going on...
