Celtic were looking for a right back throughout the second half of last term, but in the early weeks of his tenure, Brendan considered Mikael Lustig and Saidy Janko sufficient for the season ahead. Mikael is four years into a successful Celtic career but his fitness issues are of a persistent nature. We’ve reached Peak Swede.
Saidy missed lot of last season, also through injury, but he showed potential in his early outing this term. Aspirations for the lad crystallised in Israel last week, but not in a good way. I’m not going to defend him, because he was unquestionably poor, but agreement only exists on his poor showing because he was prepared to receive the ball so often. Not everyone in black that night was as keen to get on the end of a pass.
That opened the door for Cristian Gamboa, 26, second choice right back for West Brom. We’re very keen, apparently. West Brom manager, Tony Pulis, is less in need of a full back whose key attribute is getting forward at speed. Horses for course, I suppose, West Brom face different challenges than Celtic.
Two rumours have circulated this week: Celtic are looking for a midfield player and James McCarthy’s position at Everton is less secure than it was a year ago. Whoever has been linking these two facts has overreached – or made them up. Celtic have no idea where this one came from but were clear, there’s nothing in it. Getting the right midfielder remains a task in hand, but usual caveats apply. There are no guarantees we’ll land all our targets this summer.

United States . Yes.
United Kingdom ……..in spite of past unpleasantness.
These are your kindred spirits and your future.
The E.C. is now ungovernable and totally out of control.
Rumours of Waghorn{pen) to Bristol.
No harm to the guy but a failed medical would bring a smile.
PapaJoe55, several issue with your responses signal troll.
Refusal to answer straight questions, many tonight.
There was no need for that, I only asked one question.
Do you know Kill Ultra, you now have my email.
Answer.
But will meet you, if you turn up. Ticket office, Darnell Street(just in case you’re not sure), which is behind the superstore. Sept. 24th at 14:15.
But email would be easier.
Do you want me to arrange a ticket for you?

Clogher
I have e mailed doc with my details and phone no and hope we can sort this out , and hopefully he will post tomorrow evening. Thanks again for your help you are a true gent HH
Pétard comes from the Middle French péter, to break wind, from the root pet, expulsion of intestinal gas, derived from the Latin peditus, past participle of pedere, to break wind. In modern French, a pétard is a firecracker (and it is the basis for the word for firecracker in several other European languages).
Viz. Petomane.
Joking apart. All absolutely magic on the Celtic front.
Happy days are here again.
Affoot , pal.

What are we watching this week? Anybody care?
I’m a Red Sox fan. Doesn’t mean anything to any baseball fan who doesn’t know I go back thirty years before 2004.
One month to the play-offs. Four of the six leagues sorted. Find a game, pick a team and enjoy the only American game that matters.
====================================
Good grief, there’s two of us.
Torture this season, watching the unbelievable race for the AL.
Wtf is wrong with the Blue Jays and the Os? Don’t they know how to lose when the redsox are winning?
The nip and tuck is agonizing – I open up my At Bat app every morning for the results with trepidation – it’s been like living through the last ten minutes at Hapoel every day.
Surely the Redsox mighty bats will wear them down through September and take the title. Avoid that nightmare wildcard playoff.

PapaJoe55,
Let’s hope so. Shame that KU doesn’t want to provide a name that I can verify through Belfast.
You’re a good friend of his sending all these posts and mails at this hour.
Anyway, let’s see what happens and enjoy the ongoing car crash of the criminal at Ibrox:))
I won’t be responding again until your friend is verified.
AN TEARMANN,
What Club 1872? Bernie Madoff’s football swindle.
I blame the media, all these big stories out there, they are just not getting picked up. A chance for a journalist with a bit of ambition to save Scottish football and save Sevco fans money.
How will the Sevco support react when they find out they have been conned and the Scottish media were complicit?
That would concern me if I was a hack.
Do you all remember the excitement and trepidation when Celtic first played Gretna? OMG the excitement !
However I don’t recall so much dim timmery as this time around.
Lists eh?
Ok
Let me see
The Great Ambersons

Ooh a top ten wummin list…
Now I can take part.
But is it a list of …..
Or a list of ……
They are different.
So I’ll do a fantasy wife and mother list in the interests of decorum.
So….

I first watched this documentary a few years back and due to insomnia i’ve had another look this morning.So,thought i’d post a link and if anyone’s interested they can have a gander.It’s been uploaded in 24 parts but they all run seemlessly and the next section link is always on the sidebar.If anyone reads this and gives it a go,enjoy.

Mike in Toronto,
I saw Billy Bragg in 1985 in Southern California.
At a venue called Irvine Meadows. Which is about to be torn down. Open air venue. He was opening for Echo and the Bunneymen. I had never heard of him before. He made such a impression. Still one of the great performances I have seen.
Hail Hail,

Good morning friends from a damp underfoot but reasonalbly clear and bright overhead East Kilbride.
Still expecting a few comings and goings today.

PapaJoe55. I’m really sorry mate for the abuse, intimidation, and pressure you were subjected to in the early hours of this morning. Total respect and admiration for you in protecting my anonymity. The treatment you received was disgusting. And they’ve the cheek to talk about the behaviour of Huns.

PapaJoe55,
…Shame that KU doesn’t want to provide a name that I can verify through Belfast.
————-
PapaJoe55 has spoken highly of you in the past; it’s not a view I share after your posts. What kind of trip are you on that you don’t trust his word and make him go through hoops to satisfy the blood lust of CQN pack dogs? Canamalar has my details. He can email you. And there’s no no need to make yourself busy through Belfast. You can contact me directly, call in, arrange to meet, whatever.
——-
Canamalar. I’m happy for you to disclose my name, address, and email details exclusively to cloghercelt, dublin2016@mail.com
——-
By the way! I’m still waiting an answer as to how many of the four requisitioners of Resolution 12 are Celtic shareholders?
Good morning CQN
If you get the chance, go see the new Bobby Sands movie, “Bobby Sands 66 days”. I saw it in the GFT last night – powerful stuff. A must see film.
Looking forward to some last minute business today.
What a great time to be a Celtic supporter We need to savour these days, heady stuff!!!
HH
These guys are obviously not from this neck of the woods ;))

Regardless of the accusations/ counter accusations re K.U, the badgering of papa joe 55 , a man suffering from M. E. is very unbecoming of Celtic supporters.
Very uncomfortable reading.
Get off his case ffs.

Reading back on the book lists,
God i must be such a philistine.never heard of most of them,
never mind read them,ams afraid John Grisham is about my limit
_______________________________________
Reading is (mainly) for pleasure, so it’s what you like and don’t like. It’s also a great companion, same as music.
Interestingly enough I’ve listened to most albums mentioned tonight and every list has 1 or 2 that could easily be in my top 10. Only 2 bands mentioned tonight that I pretty much hate are The Beatles and Coldplay; just don’t get them.
I’ll now get my tin hat!
KTF
List of women? I don’t partake in the lists game normally because I have a shocking memory.
However, Women in Red and Weird Science.
Kelly Le Brock.
We need a midflleder who can tackle and motivate team. We need a centre forward who can sniff out a goal. and we now need a centre half who is tall, athletic and can pass the ball. The Simunovic deal makes no ‘footballing’ sense as BR has never seen him play. So PL is stilli in 100^% control of who stays and goes.
Morning all.
Is it 2300 hours or midnight (CP time) that the transfer window closes?
Hoping for a couple more in today.
HH!!

Happy with one more in, providing its a midfielder who’ll go straight into team.
Need to get another 4+ out of the door, Simunovic appears to be the first but the likes of Ambrose, Commons, GMS to name three (there’s many more) have no future at CP under BR.
Would also like to see all of our best youngsters to get sent out on loan for experience.
