“Celtic suffer double transfer blow as they are priced out of moves for Scotland duo Steven Fletcher and Ikechi Anya.” Fantasy stuff from a guy at the Record who was chased from Celtic Park a long time ago and hasn’t been allowed back since.
No offence to Ikechi, but if Peter Lawwell sanctioned the payment of £4m to a guy who is in and out the Watford team he’d be the next one chased out of Celtic Park. He is categorically not a person of interest.
They’ve also got the story on Steven Fletcher wrong. Sunderland are keen on Virgil van Dijk and know Celtic are looking for a striker. The English club were up for using Fletcher as a make-weight but we confirmed here two weeks ago this scenario was dead before it got off the ground. Celtic didn’t even ask to speak to Fletcher, never mind inquire about his wage demands. Celtic need Virgil for the qualifiers and need a striker for the qualifiers. The deal was not contemplated at any wage level, Sunderland knew this from the off.
Sunderland paid £12m for Fletcher and are coughing up £48k per week wages, not the £60k reported this morning. Getting the wages figure right is easy, just ask someone who was involved, and it wouldn’t change the parsimonious Celtic agenda. The fact that Fletcher’s wage figure is wrong tells you the quality of the source. He’s a good enough player but he’s a totem of so much that’s wrong in English football.
Today’s ‘news’ is as old as I am: ‘Rangers’ ‘immediately stepped in with a bid which has been accepted’, Celtic are ‘priced out of moves’. It’s what it looks like, the fantasy of a man who’s banned from Celtic Park.
God help this poor Irish lad if he makes it through his medical, the weight of expectation will be heavy on his shoulders soon enough. I seriously didn’t get where they were coming from with that ‘Fear no Foe’ business, b.t.w. The world’s changed so much.

“And, as I said, it is a mistaken impression.”
——————————————————————————————————————-
Mistaken impression is your opinion.
I was referring to double standards from C.Q.N. bloggers,rather than from the media and other groups.
However,since you mention them,I have read very little criticism of Islam per se,and I find a reluctance to associate terrorism with Islam ,or even Islamic fundamentalism.
Just one example…..Where are the feminist groups decrying the treatment of women in Islamic countries?
Gay groups decrying Catholic teaching on issues like marriage equality.Not a word, or a rather muted word, about the treatment of gays in Islamic countries.
I feel we are bending over backwards to accommodate attitudes and behaviour which we would find intolerable among members of a different religion.
Double standards.
Something which Timmy antennae are well attuned to.
On that at least,we can surely agree.

Broadly,I don’t disagree with you. But the treatment of women in Islamic countries is very much a hot topic. Whether it be the utterly horrific FGM,forced marriage,honour killings,even wearing a burka,etc,is increasingly legislated against.
Granted,it’s only a start. But everything has to start somewhere.
THEORIGINALSADIESBHOY
I’ll echo Macjay’s best wishes,and add a further caveat.

Enjoy your holiday,bud.
Pukki’s gone? And we don’t have a replacement signed yet?
Sack everyone.

Hot topic,yes.
Kid gloves aren`t the answer.
Bradford is the perfect shameful example of those who were reluctant to act for fear they may be accused of racism.
Anyway,mate,a wee tinto and a dod of steak beckon.
A summons I can`t ignore.

Yes that was the other striker we signed that season Lassad ( note – signed)
Miku (loan) started in the Barca game, can’t remember Lassad playing though
Neither played any more than 10 league games for us from memory, although they both did score a couple of goals
So can we add them as another 2 of our failed strikers in recent years :-))
Turkeybhoy, from much earlier, from what I heard, Gary Parker was scouting in England when he joined us with Lenny, he knew of Hooper, Mathews and Ledley ? Johan Mjallby recommended Lustig, and Alan Thomson recommended Forster, from his time with Newcastle reserves, puts a hugely different perspective on the successes of John Park, who has now been with us 7 or 8 years – sadly for me

speaking of other loans, Rami Gershon the israeli was another, im sure he came from the same club as Efe must have the same agent! he only ever played a handful of games.
We have been wasteful with players in recent years, some haven’t been up to scratch, but our resources could have been much better used.
Yes – remember he made his debut at Inverness, actually done ok :-) in That Game :-))

My extensive research, over many painstaking hours on Wikipedia [SIMBT], reveals that the current poor summer is due to the Catholic Church, and/or Adolf Hitler.
Fact!
The Kafflick scools resent their exclusion.
Things you won’t read in the Daily Record
2M Euros for winning final play off tie.
12M for getting into group stages
12M from TV pool money
1.5M per victory in group stage
0.5M per draw in group stages

Could anyone please explain exactly what the above very much in vogue word means.

I think the conference needs to be added to that list as well.
To whoever,
Again,I await an answer to a simple question,”Have you read a bible”?
Or any holy book pertaining to whatever religion you profess?
If these books are truly the word of God(s),then these fundamentalists are the ones doing everything right by following the plain meaning of the words written in those books.
They can point to the actual verses that show God approves of their subjugation of women and demonization of homosexuals and treatment of slaves.
You,on the other hand are desparately spinning the verses to make them more palatable to your modern sensibilities.
The one True Church used to call it Heresay in the bad old days of Inquisition and witch burning,other sects would use a Fiery Cross or mibbee the Hanging tree for a lynching party.
Stoning to death was quite popular back in the day,so,he who is without sin can be the first tae chuck a boulder.
As Dave Allen used to say “May your god go with you”,.you deserve one another.

I think the seeding will be crucial because we’re prepared this time so long as we delay the probable sale of VVD until August. I think that is the plan.
A new prolific striker is a must have, to spearhead the attack.
It’s not as if we can’t afford it.

It was pointed out on here after BSRs’ post Conference South also.

There we go again.
That’s the fundamental flaw and reoccurring theme of the aggressive agnostic – Christianity is always the target.
Is Christianity the only religion on the planet?
What are your views on Islam? Any opinions on Buddhism? Judaism?

Yes, but a total failure in the Ramsden/Petrofac Cup, where the big boys play.
Also this constant and false Spanish Inquisition myth, like some type of genocide took place.
Tripe.
“Though torture was commonly used in all the courts of Europe at the time, the Inquisition used torture very infrequently. During the 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition, between 3,000-5,000 people were sentenced to death (about 1 per month). The Church executed no one.”

Sammi only had the second most gorgeous hair in Celtic’s history. Mark McNally’s hair was gorgeouser. Discuss…
Jist in case some start flouncing,can I say my first memory of seeing Celtic lift a Scottish Cup was in beating Aberdeen 2-1 and Sean Fallon playing as a centre forward and scoring.
My most memorable game at Hampden came on the 15th of April 1970,when squashed into the Mount Florida end for the one and only time ever,Celtic 2 Leeds Utd.1.

I think you have to revisit that thought.
By omission you are implying the Irish are blameless, surely not!
” doesn’t matter how good Celtic think they are, how many trophies they win next season or how well they do in Europe they’ll never get the chance to win the Petrofac cup, FACT ”
A Hun.
