A journalist friend in Norway tells me Jo Inge Berget is a traditional no. 10, not a striker. We need both. Kris Commons fills the creative roll almost exclusively, we need someone to share the burden, but we still need a strong, penalty box striker, who can stand up to the pressures of Champions League football.
Best of luck to Tony Watt, best of luck to Standard too, who I hear have put a lot of skin in his contract. Belgium should give him a better chance of fulfilling his potential than anywhere in the UK. It’s head down and work hard time.

Everything you post the same jaundiced, irrational bile on CQN you can rest assured that I’ll be laughing at you.
Your ” relaxed” hahahaha
One other bit on tomorrow night’s game.
I noticed Broony was in Poland.
I am not suggesting he will make a surprise comeback, but the fact that he was allowed to fly, with all the risks flying can inflict on leg muscles, suggests he is maybe not that far away?

I call it realism. The great thing is if reality exceeds your expectations it is very uplifting.
If your expectations are unrealistic then disappointment is assured.
You can go through life grateful and appreciating what is or getting upset at what is’ nt.
I don’t see the point getting upset at nothing.
It’s simply my philosophy of choice.

Stuart Slater.
I find it hard to remember that era. My mind protects me from the memories like a US Vietnam vet or something. I do recall he was very comfortable with the ball at his feet. Was Gary Gillespie in the team with him?

I heard Broony’s hamstring nearly tore off the bone. Could be wrong but I think it’s a 3 month at least thing. Think he’s going on the Zbyszek Warsaw pub tour maybe!

23 years ago yesterday, I jumped from the balcony of The Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow and landed on the on-stage speakers of Morrissey’s first solo tour.
Meansong,
That was also my initial understanding – serious hamstring out for 3 months and that he is so far away from recovery that there is little risk in him travelling, but I can’t help think maybe he is closer than was initially suggested.

It might put pressure on Celtic to get cracking on one of their own, but the most interesting bit is political with a small “p” and that is access to the Board.
A perfect rod for Celtic’s back or an opportunity to change relationships with the support?

Hope so. Him and Johannsen would be an absolute nightmare to play against.
For a bit of fun!
Has anyone else been loyal to a player(despite the evidence)
My Aunt wrote a poem about Shuggy Edvalsson and sent it to him.
Got a reply as well
Met the lad that let in 5 vs huns in 89. He had flares and was pished(Andrews?). Failed to pull. Derek Whyte was sober and took him home(training in the morning, be a professional!)
What was his name? He looked a good keeper before that.
I argued to keep him at the time(better at crosses than Packy)
Maybe i am too much of an optimist?
Aye right
Kojo will be happy as Paul McMullan scores.
Frail’s delight as Bhoys brush aside Blues
By: Mark Henderson on 29 Jul, 2014 16:36
A DELIGHTED Stevie Frail praised the performance of his players after a Celtic Under-18s side sealed an emphatic 4-1 victory over their Manchester City counterparts at Lennoxtown today.
Kieran Tierney opened the scoring for the young Hoops after stealing in at the back post and Luke Donnelly doubled the advantage with a low effort under the goalkeeper.
And seconds later the rampant hosts added a third as, straight from the restart, Paul McMullan dispossessed a City defender, rounded the keeper and slotted home.
Although the visitors reduced arrears shortly after half-time, the Bhoys restored their three-goal cushion as Aiden Nesbitt’s cross was deflected into net following a sweeping move forward.
Speaking to the official website, Frail said: “I’m delighted with both the result and performance. It was an U18 game for both squads, and obviously the result was good against a Premier League opposition who have put a lot of money and investment into the team.
“But the most pleasing thing was the way we played in terms of the energy, tempo and quality they showed. Overall the victory was good, but the performance was far more pleasing.”
The impressive win came on the back of Saturday’s 2-0 triumph away to Turriff United, with Paul George’s brace securing the spoils for a youthful side.
And following a number of excellent pre-season displays, it gave Frail further encouragement ahead of the start of the Under-20 season which is looming on the horizon.
“The team we had on Saturday was a really young team as well, and they were playing against established players at that level, so they were two good games.
“So we are looking good for the build-up to the first game of the season against St Mirren. We have had a good pre-season in terms of results, especially performances, so we are ready for it and are looking forward to it.”
CELTIC (4-3-3) Hart; Breslin (Ralston) Kelleher, McCart, Waters (McIlduff); McManus, Thomson, Donnelly (Hendry); Nisbet (Currie), McMullan, Tierney (Miller)

Would ‘don’t know’ be Mike Galloway?
Does anyone know the status of Tom Rogic?
He is still listed as one of our midfielders, but I thought he had gone out on loan down under.
Sorry for being a day late. Welcome Jo to Paradise. Interesting reading between Petec and Canamalar last night. I don’t have quite the theological understanding or rigidity as Petec does but I believe that affords me flexibility, moderateness whilst still maintaining truthfulness.
The truth is there are some esoteric symbols in the catholic doctrine too, that’s why some well meaning but sometimes bordering on bigotry Presbyterian sects broke away (seeing this as some sort of take over by the pagans of a Christian church, rather than it being a way to REFORM the pagans themselves) . The difference is that cultural appropriation of pagan symbols and festivals to tie in with Christian ones and ideas is not the same thing as ditching Christian morality in favour of esoteric religions (of which some sects are clearly more sinister than others).
I often judge religions by what do they lead to, I believe for example whilst clearly the antithesis of Christian belief in Hinduism of there being many gods, it leads to a society that loves one another has respect marriage, faithfulness and fidelity when that religion was weakened by modernism and the sexual revolution it ends up with people that degrade women as we see in India now, the same happened in the 60′s (a result of a strange mix of minor misgonystic traits in religion and liberal “freedom sexual revolution” and “modern misgony” manufactured by esoteric sexists intertwining) here but is now being partially rectified by certain types of feminism, not others, those same types of feminism whilst leading to a “solution” to a “problem” created by those who control society, the meida and these solutions in themselves create further problems because whilst occasionally they might arrive at the right conclusions, they do so for the wrong reasons.
Take Sweden making prostitution harder: Correct, but with the wrong reasoning, its because the “men” exploit the women, this is true but its the exploitation of people we should be concerned about. Not getting this example? I’l make it even clearer then, in Sweden there are laws that make it hard for men to just have sex with a women and leave them, again something that a healthy society should be able to do without legislation but if it can’t it at least seems the “do as thou whil” type of thinkers are being pushed back surprisingly by some more semi-rational thinkers of the atheist left.
(As oppose to the movement I back of the Christian, spiritual and agnostic left expanding on utopian Marxism (belief all people are equal, preservation of individual rights as important as the collective), not the anti egalitarian, genocidal and elitist, black side of esoteric Marx’s writing actually hint at if u read in depth into them and works by esoterics )
However their reasoning is that Men are hurting women and that women have an emotional need, it is true but the logic should be “people have emotional need and sex is not just about pleasure its about both (whether within or out with marriage is irrelevant that its a committed loving relationship is the key), exploitation and objectification of people either sexually as objects or financially as commodities is both wrong and harmful)
But alas those feminists of the lets say non objectification of women kind whilst appearing to be reversing some of the destruction the do as thou type feminists and esoteric media did in the first place sadly somehow the media will find a way to again make them their new demons, we already here signs of that with “if your daughter wants to be a prostitute its non of your buisness if you love them you will support them in every undertaking they do” type psuedo feminism. Not a great fan in either feminsim or menism either as both ultimately are not about equalitisim as they are always viewed through a “negative prism of the other”, in this case the other being the opposite gender.
Any way the saddest thing is that we have some american Presbyterian websites claiming Hitler was a Catholic, you can not be a Catholic in my eyes if you don’t believe in jesus. He had many anti Christian writings did Hitler. In fact actually hating jesus as Hitler did, and hating the vulnerable in society such as minorities and disabled makes you a defacto non Christian more than having sex outside of marriage or being too condemning of those who err from orthodoxy as the society of Saint Pius X can be, or those who don’t bevel in jesus but admire the philosophical message he had of treat others as you wish to be treated. Why is that sad?
They, like sadly some Catholics cannot see the wood for the trees, our enemy is not other sects with different theological views but certain members of the media and their journalists who appease them even if the said journalists are often doing so blindly out of loyalty to some dogmatic political position such as “progressivism” or “libertarianism” or other various “isms” (excluding humanism which is tied to the hip with esotercism tho apparently many of its initiates are totally blindfolded to that fact…) by giving the average atheist on the street amo to spout falsehoods such as Hitler was a Catholic they fail to see the undermine Christianity and spirituality in general.Our work isn’t even to convert non believers into believers its to make them see who really operates the levers of power, its certainly not the catholic or baptist churches etc.To make them grow up from their media fed purile hatred of Christianity (particularly true of american non believers) to see that, you don’t need to believe in a figure head called Lucifer literally being a “real” thing for you to be affected by those who do and think that the rest of the non believers (in lucifer as god) are profane and should be culled and those that remain should be enslaved (my mantra to the non believer is always you don’t have to believe in any meta physical entity to be affected by those who do, much is made of the mythical claims of how Christianity affects your life adversely well here’s evidence why this group of Lucifer believers actually do probably exist and how non belief in what they believe doesn’t save you from their belief or the decisions they have planned for the world influenced by their beliefs…).
Sorry for the length of that post. Also wanted to say on the interesting note of multiple posters I think I clocked that Singing detective and Kojo where one and the same on that note I noticed a pattern of posting as inspired by reading Aww Naws posts, and I think I have deduced 2 more nome de plumes possibly part of the Kojo network.
Philvis Returns: Always says 2 thumbs up at the end of posts
Moonbeams Wet Dream: “Moon Beams Says AYE” (there’s that scotch style Kojo Uses)
Kollie: “Tails a waggin a waggin”
Kojo ” “Still Laughin”
TSD: No such sign of but writes exactly the same style and politik as Kojo
In short I notice very few posters that use this signature sort of sign off message That Philvis, Moonbeams, Kojo, and Kollie use.

Just completed an online survey for season ticket holders mentioned by the club. Asked if I would be interested in paying to join a global Celtic membership scheme. Many on here complain about the club’s communication with fans, matchday experience, being taken for granted etc. These issues sre covered by the survey as well as a box for your ideas on how to improve at the end. I urge every Celtic supporter who receives the Email to take time to complete it.
Mentioned=issued!!!!!!!!!
I’m usually a happy clapper but I agree with the thrust of the article. It’s disappointing we are playing a team the calibre of Legia without a significant striker signing.
With the exception of Griffiths, we know what we are going to get up front from our current strikers, and unless they show significant improvement we will fall short in Europe.
With Sammi and Tony gone, we have lost the only proven CL goalscorers we had.
Is this Moneyball too far? I’m for it normally, but we want to see stars at centre forward.
We have approached our next most important game of the season by downsizing up front. It seems an almost reckless gamble by the board.
In fairness, the organisation has led us to the last 16 recently, which is getting closer to where we want to be, another CL group appearance and a clear out of the ™ times. Maybe we just have to hold our nerve. Signing a CL striker would have soothed them though.
An unnecessary risk IMO, especially along with selling Sammi and Watt.

That came from left of the field but fair doos.
Pushed the original “Planet of the Apes” onto the kids recently, with the modern trailer appearing often on tv .
Quite a landmark period piece. Late 60’s liberal US filmmakers let loose. Strong allusions to civil rights and Vietnam war.
How many times am I going to type Vietnam tonight?
Anyhoo, the kids loved it.
The revolution has begun and may be televised. From BBC;
“The Bank of England is expected to unveil on Wednesday a plan which may see rule-breaking bankers return bonuses up to seven years after being awarded them, the BBC understands.
Losses, poor risk management or other bad behaviour could trigger clawbacks.
Even if bonuses paid in shares have been cashed and spent, the move could mean money paid to bankers breaking the rules can still be demanded back.
If approved, it may create one of the world’s toughest regulatory regimes”
Cameron’s bloody Britain.

Loved the planet of the apes movies conceptually the worm had turned and it was man who was slave to the beasts of the Earth

Good post but would contest Chris Sutton at centre half. Remember him strolling it at Ibrox once. Another time at Celtic park his versatility accommodated two substitutions with him moving from front to back via midfield effortlessly.
Very true with Petrov. Good management saw his career saved, could’ve easily been a disasterous career move for him at Celtic otherwise.
Broony left back? When was that?
Drunk now, so I have become a football expert. Right Celtic here is your shopping list, three players, number one we need another left back, two we need a creative central midfielder and three you need to sign either me or ma brother who will run through brick walls and destroy anyone, thing or place on command for a dry bed a tasty wench and a handful of magic beans per week.
