How far away is John Kennedy from another top team comeback? Is it goingto be next season?

John Kennedy has not fully recovered YET.
Stick in there big fhella. Look forward to seeing you back.

Ed,
here's a wee question,
how many fingers am I holding up lol.
-
well done you got me there ed.
here is a follow up on the question you answered.
Although our first league game was against Renton...
why is there no official record of this logged with the league?
Mort - no he didnt and yes he was. Spot on.
EVERYONE - a quick test of recent history.
who scored our first league goal of the season?
and who scored our first home league goal of the season.
no search engines, just memory for this one :)

Skippy :- You have me beaten on that one, I'd have to break your rules and use a search engine to answer. As a guess could it be that the league had no offices to send it to?

1st time we ever donned the famous green & white hoops!

Canamalar :- Was it the first time Celtic wore a hooped top?

Name a player who has won league titles in three consecutive seasons with three different clubs.
And I want the clubs too. Oh and the years please and the clubs.
What have England, France, Germany and Italy never had that Holland, Portugal, Romania, Scotland, Spain and Yugoslavia have?
Everton have had 15 managers since the start of WW2. Where does David Moyes rank amongst the other managers in terms of percentages?
-
Which English teams are furthest north, south, east and west?
-
Canamalar :- If the hoops is the correct answer then we beat you to it by around 20 years as Rangers wore blue and white hoops in the early 1880s

Come on
'The Celtic defence are pressurised far too infrequently, which leaves them exposed when they come up against teams like Barcelona, with the pace and touch to burn'
Are you serious?
How come we could not go an away game without a clean sheet in over a year? You can not blame the opposition for Caldwell and McManus making mistakes against better teams
!
I think it is the other way about, because they are not pressurised as much as they might be their weknesses are not fully exploited.
Surely what you have written has came across the wrong way.
-
TTT
well done sir

Ed,
sorry couldnt resist the chuckle.
nope hoops is wrong

Also
I think JK should be released or sold, he is never going to be a Celtic first team player.

Aw Naw, Spirt of Arthur Lee has it - queens park.

Who were the two teams to have the only successful amalgamation of two Scottish League clubs and what was the resultant club?
-
ed - the reason there is no official record with the league is:
Renton were expelled from the league later in the season and all games they had taken part in were voided.
THE SPIRIT - yup
canamalar - it may not be the answer you were lookin for...
but
1903 WAS the first year we wore the hoops.
not sure about any other peculiarities though.
-
Ed, is it Caledonian FC and Inverness Thistle FC, to form ICT?
-
Skippy :- Thanks for that info I love snippets from the early days of the game. I knew Renton had been expelled but didn't know about the aftermath, I wonder if that would have been used as precedent if Gretna had folded this season.
-
Here's a wee question!
Just four clubs from capital cities have won the European Cup, name them...
-
I will check the source (as it appears the fishal site agrees with you), but I'm sure it was the only time we wore green & white stripes
-
Canamalar :- If it wasn't the hoops (though I agree with Skippy on this one) was it the first year numbers were worn on the shirt?
-
i know aberdeen were formed after an amalgamation, but i couldnt tell you who amalgamated to make them.
ed - if you know the history ;)
-
Milan
Madrid
Munich
Amsterdam
-
MuppetBhoy :- I'm afraid not the Inverness clubs were members of the Highland league before amalgamating.
-
Ted
Motherwell and Dundee
-
i tell a lie - Aberdeen FC was born out of the merger of three city clubs; Aberdeen, Victoria United and Orion. A public meeting on March 20, 1903 was attended by more than 1,600 citizens, and on that date the amalgamation issue was discussed and given the go-ahead. On April 14 that same year the merger was made official and Aberdeen Football Club was born.
but i dont think these were all league clubs at the time, so wont be the answer....
hibs n hearts if wallace mercer had got his way :)

TTT,
my old man was a Partick fan as a boy and wasn´t the least bit interested in sport as an adult. I can remember him watching the home internationals and that´s about as far as it got with him.
He got me an interview at Motherwell Bridge where he worked. Although I had 7 O´levels in the bag with 5 highers pending compared to other candidates prospective O´levels only I started school a year early at 4 I never got offered a technical apprenticeship only a "craft" apprenticeship. Having worked there for 10 years he realised that it was all to do with the St. before my school name.
He used to take great delight in ramming it down the orange scums throat at work as to what his BHOY was up to now ... and thanked St. Kentigern especially that his BHOY didn´t take his advice.
He died the biggest tim I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Hail Hail

I do not think Captain McManus was paticularly well advised to start spouting how much pride he feels about leading out Scotland tonight, it is a token gesture or more sinsterly to prevent him withdrawing from the squad with a real or fake injury.Well other teams do it and get away with it, so while he and others from the Celtic squad risk injury the mob from Govan have a night off resting and spotting weaknesses in his and others play.
Very poor preparation for a massive game at the weekend, I also felt him comparing captaining his club which he could not even mention by name and the Scotland role very poor in my eyes.

Celtic expose the Daily Record again
CELTIC today have responded to press speculation that the club are pursuing a Japanese tour at the scheduled end of the SPL term to ‘kill off’ any plans for an extension to the season.
A club spokesperson said: "Following media speculation today, Celtic would like to confirm that it has not finalised any plans for an end-of-season tour.
“Celtic have been considering a possible invitation to tour Japan and this will be looked at in further detail over the next few weeks, but no final decision has yet been taken.
“Clearly, with Celtic now enjoying great support in Japan, this is something which the club needs to consider, as it did previously when we made a similar visit.
“The club can state very clearly that any discussions with regards to an end-of-season tour have been continuing for some time and have absolutely nothing to do with any recent debate around extending the SPL season.”
-
ed - the first time we wore numbers on the hoops was FAR more recent than that.
it was in mccanns era.
when the legislation came out about numbers being on the shirt, fergus had the numbers put on the sleeves... the regulations were then re-worded for the following season.
i believe that it was around 94 but i could be wrong.

I disagree, I'm extremely proud that a Celtic man is going to be captain of my nation tonight and he has every right to be proud of himself also.
I also think that tonight will be excellent preperation for our players as they play against top class opposition, it will sharpen them as Paul said and it will be a welcome change from the hard slog of the SPL. They will get more from practising against Croatia than they would at Lennoxtown. It's at home and they're unlikely to play 90 minutes so I don't think it will have a negative effect on their fitness either.
I think the last point you made is you looking for any excuse to criticise him.

Awe-Naw and SAOL,
Although MB as you knew is no longer in recent years there was a management buy-out which saw the name Motherwell Bridge carry on trading as such.
In fact, you uncle Awe-Naw (my Father-in-Law) is actually employed by Motherwell Bridge at this moment in time. Although I am led to believe that it is nothing like what it used to be!
By the sounds of it MB in your time was nearly as bad as AB's didn't know that. But then it was Motherwell (hope you don't mind we classing AB's as being in ML1 WG!), so why am I surprised????
HAIL! HAIL!

antsman,
I think this is as poor response from celtic, we should have confimed the tour and advised the press we are not here to bail out the inadequacies of mismanagment of the SPL/SFA, that we do not submit to the pressure of the tabloid agenda, and we are not happy that such alterations to the league are being proposed, as prescedents have been set in this matter.

canamalar,
PL issued such a statement last week already. The Japanese tour and the muted extension are entirely separate matters and should remain that way. How can they confirm a tour that has not yet been finalised?
They should definitely be seeking to toe the Daily Record in the baws legally

Opinions vary, we will have to wait and see if it sharpens him up for Saturday only then will we have definitve proof, through his performance.

they will only be seperate issues if they do not clash, agreed we should be doing it legally (would be right funny if any compensation was put in the kitty for a star signing eh)
But if we had made such a statement, what could any one do about it, also it would give out a message that we are no longer willing to just bend over
-
Hoopsididitagain :- I can't find any trace of Bon Accord being a league club, though they may well have amalganated.

bon accord suffered the highest defeat in league history, 36-0 didnt they ?

Dressybhoy
It's true there are pros and cons but we're unlikely to never know. If the Celtic men in the Scotland squad play bad against Rangers it doesn't mean it's because they played for Scotland midweek, they might be poor either way. The only way to really tell is if they look tired I suppose.
If McManus captains Scotland to a good result over Croatia it could give him such a boost for the game at the weekend, alternatively if Scotland get hammered it could destroy his confidence, or even encourage him to bounce back against them. Who knows...
-
WG
do you think that will stop him trying
-
Ed, Thought that I had read or was told that Bon Accord amalganated with Aberdeen, but after checking the net cant find anything about them apart from the 36-0 scoreline, also not listed as one of the 3 teams who joined to make Aberdeen.

canamalar,
No it has zilch to do with our "prospective" Japanese tour its a point of principal. The SPL season should NEVER be extended unless it is for extenuating circumstances like the outbreak of war or illness etc. Just cos Watty is in with a chance means it shouldn´t be considered. PL issued a statement and covered this on Saturday??
Keith Jackson deliberately puts 2+2 together to make 1690 as he always does.

"But if we had made such a statement, what could any one do about it, also it would give out a message that we are no longer willing to just bend over"
Know what you mean but Peter Lawell has already given a comment on the issue of extension based on confirmation fof fixtures from the SPL/SFA etc. which is the correct thing to do as it addresses the official body.
He should not respond to a rag who have an ulterior motive as in my view it would only result in further diatribe in an attempt to get Celtic to respond.
-
The rags :o)
-
Canamalar :- The did but it was in the cup, I can't find any mention of them as a league club.
-
Canamalar :- Due to the set up in Scotland not all senior clubs are in the Scottish league or the SPL, A good example of this is the Highland leage and East of Scotland league clubs.
-
awe naw,
I'm no arguing that point, I know PL issued that statement, what I'm saying is we shouuld give them the 2 fingers and tell them we are going on a pre-arranged tour (arranged or not) and that they have no right to alter the set-up as the prescedend has previously been set, and if they persist with touting such an idea we will challange it with all of out resources.
Its more likely jingle jangle was fishing for his master to show the SPL that we have nothing confirmed and that we can be made to look unreasonable, and we know how much PR men dislike such an interpretation of their actions,. Its simply to make PL look intransigent and take the blame off the HUN/SPL/SFA.
innit?
-
bigswee, of course your right, but I can help think that such a debate would actually show the scottish hacks up properly, as I've no doubt once such a debate was opened the international press would come from far and wide to watch and report on the spectacle, and I for one think PL could actually rip them a new one and have them for libel and slander, for the moment IMO this is an untapped resource lol
-
My view is simple.
If you good enough and in some cases lucky enough throughout the season then you deserve to win it.
A few of my mates are looking forward to the Rangers fixtures and their firmly held view is that they will have even greater bragging rights if they go on to win the championship in addition to success in the cup and in Europe.
I know if positions were reversed I would be up for the challenge and not looking for any favours!
-
Ed,
fair point, I thought it was the biggest league defeat.
cheers for the info.
