Lots of frustration around today at the possibility the first leg of the Champions League qualifier will be switched to Belfast. It will be no comfort to those who booked travel yesterday but we are in this situation every qualifying game. The draw is made and confirmed a day or two later, which is why clubs (including Celtic) and CQN yesterday ran a “Don’t book travel until…” piece. On most occasions nothing is changed which means fans are caught out when change happens.
No reason why Uefa can’t deal with this on the day of the game, or exclusively on the basis of strict criteria. I hope they deny this request, which is not in Celtic’s favour and clearly not in fan’s best interest.
Two items to draw your attention to today:
Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust
Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust are undertaking a sponsored cycle of all SPL grounds this September in attempt to get to our £100k fundraising target. This money will be used to help on the battle to fight skin cancer working with organisations such as Beatson Cancer Centre. The event is called Tour for Tommy and will span 5 days, 12 clubs and 380 miles of cycling before returning to Celtic Park on Sunday 15th September. Ex-Celts such as Packie Bonner and Frank McGarvey are joining in as the full event and Bertie Auld will be completing the last day. The event is looking to team up with the fans of each club to join them on a leg from their stadium to the next.
The group have much of the logistics in place and most of the riders, but they need more help. Each of the four main days are being offered for sponsorship with day one already taken up. In return the 30-40 core riders will get their clothing made with that company’s logo as well as any signage on press releases at the stadiums among other benefits (full pack available upon request). The Tour has already received great coverage from Sky Sports with further commitment to track the whole event.
In addition the charity are looking for donations of anything from water bottles, energy bars/drinks to medical supplies and biking mechanical supplies.
If you are interested in getting involved in any way you can contact scottmcgarvey@gmail.com. You can donate here, follow on Facebook and twitter (@tommyburnsSCT).
I know many of you will be aware of the work done by Celtic fans for the people of Haiti as part of the Hoops For Haiti campaign. This is another aspect of the incredible work done by Celtic fans and a credit to our club. You can read their blog here and get involved here.

Think it’s a step in the wrong direction Mcfadden peaked when he scored that wonder goal in Paris and was very injury prone at Birmingham City which also suggests he will struggle to cope with the physical heavy handed two footed tackles that are regularly dished out to Celtic midfielders

Faddy is an upgrade on Paddy. Signing him makes a lot of sense to me if he was to join on a partial pay as you play deal
Magpie attack is that an anti Joe Kinnear protest:-)
Does anyone else get annoyed at the BT advert featuring the Greek Ghod
and some nonentity from the 3rd division …I mean …who is the bloke???

guys what dates are could the away leg potentially be played. is it the 23/24 or 30/31
—————————————————————————————————
The game in Belfast was originally drawn for 23/24 July. If UEFA agree to the proposed switch then it will be on 16/17 July.
So, according to Charlotte, although Rangers insisted Jelavic was transferred because he and his family wanted to move, they had engaged the services of an agent three months earlier to punt the player.
And, yes, the agent who got the gig is the brother of the manager who signed the guy, if the Charlotte material is genuine.
Tell All the Huns You Know.
Coming to a blog near you this evening.
Kayal your name sake is a classic example of the assaults that are carried outwith impunity on celtic players
Pay as you play deal in itself is a true indicement on the fitness no more squad fillers at the end of their careers Did we learn nothing from the Ljunberg debacle
Mark Hately says that Foster going to Ibrox is like going to a New Club— oh wait a minute!

As you are aware I am proud to be an eeejit — one of the great professions in my opinion.
As for 2000 that must be a reference to your numbers however as for changing my name you have lost me– what on earth are you going on about?
Could change my name to THRB right enough
Where is the Faddy stuff coming from ?
I would take him in a flash, still only 28, and on a pay and play basis, a no brainer.
far too many writing players off before they even sign, very hunnish >}
Call me ole fashioned but I would rather we gave a start to one of our talented youngsters than Sicknoteinho.
The stuff from Charlotte about Jelavic sickens me.
These cosy little deals between clubs/agents/relations all taking a percentage away deal – all taking money from the fans’ pockets.
This happens to include the huns but it’s clearly widespread and we’ve seen it before with Ferguson and others. No doubt most clubs are involved from time to time.
They’re fu*@k$£ng paid enough these people – shameless twats.

Gerard Lawlor seems to think temp seating won’t be an issue – I think there is access to the waterworks end at the side of the cage stand – don;t know how it would work tho !!
Still think Windsor is best option
I learned a lot from the Faddy McFadden and the Ljungberg Debacle-
that the decision to demolish the ooooooooooooollllllle Burns Howff, was harsh but fair.
I second that medical advice from the learned doctor
James McFadden played only 109 times including substitutions for Everton from 2003–2008
and this was when he was young and healthy.

Not about the Howff mind that was a tragedy
Celtic have taken French defender Steven Mouyokolo on trial.
The 26-year-old centre-back has been handed an opportunity to impress Neil Lennon and his coaching staff and has been training with Celtic’s first team squad at their Lennoxtown complex.
Mouyokolo, who is a free agent after his contract with Wolves was terminated by mutual consent in January, counts Hull City and Sochaux among his former clubs.
The player began his career with Chateuaroux in French Ligue 2 before spells at Guegnon and Boulogne.
He moved to England to sign for Hull before a switch to Wolves on a four-year deal. His time at Molineux was marred by injury and a long spell out with cruciate ligament damage incurred while on loan at Sochaux saw his career put on hold.
STV
Faddy for Celtic?
Hmmm?!
Personally not convinced.
Imo, of course.
HH!!
STV……………….Allez LeCoist featuring this week on the front page of
Steak Bake Weekly.
Appears that STV have done a bit of homework since Mouyokolo was outed on the last blog
Players who are at Lennoxtown on a trial basis will not have their height formally measured, as the ole Dont’y laser guided stadiometer Mark VII doesn’t shrink.
And originally sourced from KDS…
What’s the latest on Victor?
Have CFC accepted an offer for the player?
Is Victor reluctant to join this club?
What’s going on?!
HH!!

The ole 5* steak bake doesn’t shrink to fit inferior Galacto-diddies.
Speaking of which, where is ole Danny *build like the side of a brick house* Shittu these days.

Don’t know where DS is playing just now,but leave him there he is useless.
Danny Shittu is, eh, not very good!
HH!!
As folk will be aware, I’m not unhappy about Paddy leaving but for the life of me, I can’t understand why we would then sign McFadden, especially with his history of injuries. He’d be hacked to bits in the SPL when wearing the Hoops.
50 shades- they still think they can do what they like, which is why Liquidation 2 is comin’ to a cinema near you, in HD and 3D, faster than a speedin’ bullet.

…”heavy handed two footed tackles…”
Is Faddy signing for a soccerball or eggchaser club?!
:-)
