Ruud Gullit is now telling us what a wonder-kid Karamoko Dembele is! The portents on this one are not good. The best thing for Karamoko right now would be to be left alone to develop his talent for three years. Comments from international stars is the last thing the boy needs.
I suspect the unprecedented frenzy which greeted his substitute appearance at Cappielow caught his mentors off guard. The decision to play him was made on football grounds; he’d earned the right to be there so was given the chance. That’s fair enough, you can’t hold a player back, no matter what his age. If he’s not challenged you right inhibiting his development, but the best thing for Karamoko would be a long stretch of anonymity.
I can’t get overexcited at Joey Barton charged with betting on 44 football games against SFA rules during his first few months in Scotland. While the same rule applies in England, Newco don’t play in England, so offenses there have been less prevalent, and therefore the rule is less prominent. A cursory punishment would be appropriate.
The media coverage of Barton this morning gives a fascinating slant on what is already a hoary old story. Joey, we are told, may be able to work his way back into his manger’s plans if he is sufficiently sincere when they meet early next week. Joey, of course, is always sincere.
You’ll seldom encounter people with the most alarming thought processes and in any way doubt their sincerity.
If anything, Joey’s persona could do with a little less frankness. Not for the first time, the Newco management will be measuring the wrong metric when trying to assess Barton.
They’re stuck with him, in all his gloriously difficult sincerity.

Matt
Auld TD was the first singer up
MASTY:
I was directly speaking with Tony, I was not disrespectful to Tony per se but Tony was rather exclusive with his human rights per se the Celtic Support Broad Church Syndrome.
Tony should take a moment to think that some people like sugar in their tea and others don’t. Neither choice in itself makes you a man nor a demon.
MASTY on 7TH OCTOBER 2016 11:45 AM
I suspect because Paul67 doesn’t monitor every post and he’s not, as yet, received any emails about TD still doing it.
Regardless he’s been warned about it by the host.
Marty….got a beaut of TD belting out his heart like Pavarotti…but with more sensitive passion
I might send it to The Green Man…. :)
Hail hail

A sad tale with a really nice ending.
Hat doffed to you.
God bless.
Said a wee prayer for the lady. May she rest in peace.
I hope she’s looking down from a nice place but not reading the Blog.
Kit
You specifically asked about the word being spoken about,I merely pointed you in the direction of said word, I know you were not attacking anyone just trying to help
My 6ft 4 nephew, a solid GB bhoy….will be shocked when i tell him he was forced into waving that Palestinian flag by some mysterious force.
Its like something out of Star Trek….Mind Melt of some description.
I bet its got something to do with those malcontent Trotskyists
Sorry that was for Masty not Marty…..
When spelling thingummys came in first in the mid 90s on mainframe networks, a girl I was sharing double entendres with, blew me out because the email system kept changing her name from Sylvia to saliva.
I always said she was the spot of Goldie Hawn
Hail hail
Matt
Masty did you have a little drink in Brazen before the Wedding. Who did you think the Handsome Photographer was. HH. P’s Matt that’s a pint for me.
So if I just went out there to get a fag? Am I on the carpet? Because that’s how rediculess this is getting, three months ago someone was all over me about another dart thing, and I said ” I couldent give a piece of coon sh… what he thought” and I was labelled a racist, you see where I’m going here? The clique (pack/cartel) are all over me here like a cheap suit, time will tell.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS:
appreciate the clarification and to a degree agree with the sentiment however… in defence of TD… then one must highlight to Paul all the wind up merchants.
I once got a yellow card for using language on here, it was not used in a flippant or trivial way, yet it shocked one or two so much that they complained to Paul and I had my account suspended. However, in the same thread there was much more explicit wordy words yet nobody bothered to complain to our host.
You can put one persons nose out of joint so so easily and the hypocrite is so so plastic he can’t read the blog because his out of joint nose is blinding his prejudices.
Blood is blood and violence demands pain and blood. You can’t ever convey that in chocolate box writing. But blind of empathy and the devoid of experience.
If anybody takes sincere umbrage to TD’s bleats, then just ignore him and them.
SPIT.
That’s it…had enough…
Time to line my stomach before fish on Friday washed down with copious amounts of Belhaven Black.
Hail hail
Matt
Raymond
Matt and handsome…..Mmmm… need to think about that, good night though, I take it ” posh and becks” stayed at yours?
MASTY:
noted and thanks.
TD:
For me that was racist. That of course is just my opinion. I have too many blisters on my hands to help you dig your grave.
You are a racist and I can’t picture you in anything but a cheap suit.
It wasnt me that brought it up.
But i believe i was quite right to call it out.
Shoot me ffs
KITALBA
your getting a wee bit carried away wi the sugar in the tea, everyone has an opinion, that I’ve respected, mine is diff. Eh? It’s what goes on in a blog, you want a tea party? Fine, I honestly don’t care what 85/09% of the opinions in here, but it’s theirs and makes the blog interesting, believe you you me, there are some in here more interested in me getting barred, than my opinion, and if I am or I leave, then I’ve won.
TD67
Big difference between opinions….and lies.
You have been spouting lies today.
Nobody minds opinions….but lies about Celtic supporters, i dont think so.
KITALBA 1212
Wise words. I’ll do my best!

PHILBHOY
I don’t do cheap, but it’s what’s in your head that makes you the racist, sorry. You know what a raccoon is right?
TGM
You think? Wow?
TONYDONNELLY67:
The Palestinian flag display was no- sectarian non-political, non-racist, it was rather just a a beseech to sanity, a plea to humanity and a cry from the heart from those who have been indoctrinated into anti-oppression.
Is that really so bad? Whether it sexed your intellectual pallet or not?
Would you have hung Ghandi?
Would you have hung drawn and quartered William Wallace?
Would you have shot Kevin Barry?
Would you have beheaded Nelson Mandela?
Would you have shot JFK or his brother?
I don’t think so. I think you are just being a wee bit myopic and dare I say a wee bit of a ballet dancing drama queen.
VFR. From earlier today Top Class Mate. HH
KITALBA
As I told PHILBHOY, scroll back, am I the only guy in here that has to explain every post, I must say I’m well monitored. Bring on the….and no wonder cartel, lol.
I love international weeks on CQN, reminds me of my school days…
Dare I point out there are many ‘SIC’s in my last few posts but I get too emotional at times to give a toss!
Right at this moment I doubt there is another football club in the world more talked about than Celtic….
We are what we are, we have only one soul and one goal… I think.
For me that goal is equality in all its possible meanings.
TD67
Im sorry to say this and mean it…but you are a fool of epic proportions.
You are way out of your depth….your insults are infantile, and you have no understanding of the depth of your own stupidity.
And…..go read a book.
You have the intellectual capacity of a pile of sawdust.
Go and do something constructive with your private parts
TD:
Crocodile tears are for crocodiles.
While we are arguing with each other in here today I see that Celtic have banned the guys lifted in the dawn raids over rubberdoll gate. So as well as being handcuffed, frogmarched and detained overnight these guys have been banned from seeing their team despite no trial or conviction.
new article posted.
KITALBA
I’ll say this again, what I think about Palestine and its troubles are nothing to do with CFC OR UEFA, and are my thoughts, the warning was as has been before no political statements at UEFA games, what I do in my own time regarding Palestine is my business, you may call it being a drama queen, but the thing is, YOU, DONT even know whether I’m active over the Middle East troubles or wtf I do, the difference is you think, I act, and you haven’t a clue how or what I’m involved in, but I/ we don’t need Celtic Park as a rung in the ladder to get my/our point through, but keep surmising by all means.
Right just before I go, and being as it is International week where the blog glows with camaraderie, repartie and funfilled bon-mots, I thought I would post some inside info on the end of the world. So if you are interested where all our intelligence and civilisation has got us…..here we are…
Just like the horsemen of the apocalypse come in fours, then the tale of impending armageddon and its hellish cause also comes as a tale in four parts.
It has a beginning, middle, end and most importantly a glue holding it together that is made up of an orange walk, gullible sisters and a wean with the most productive bowels in the world.
Most of all it has it’s roots in Coatbridge in the early sixties on the day that my father was taken over by an alien body snatcher.
This is part 1 of “The A to B of Armageddon”; This sets the scene and while it deals with my father being possessed and a horse potentially sharing his bedroom, the actual bit about ‘the end of days’ doesn’t appear in this bit. But I think its important that you get a grasp of my spiritual hinterland.
It is a true story! (most of it).

JOBO BALDE – I mean no disrespect to you but, due to the history…..I hope Scotland get cuffed ‘every’ time that they play. When it was announced that Tommy Burns(RIP) had joined the SFA, way back in the day, I felt that someone had just walked over my grave – very strange.
