Anya, Fletcher, fantasy

543

“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.

    ” Where are the feminist groups decrying the treatment of women in Islamic countries ” ?

     

     

    For a start – Sisters In Islam / Musawah / The Daughters of the Nile..

     

    ——————————————————————————————————————–

     

     

    Please don`t take this the wrong way,but I have never heard of any of these groups.

     

    I should have made myself clearer.

     

    I was speaking about the feminist groups who have the ear of the media. In other words Western feminist groups.

     

    Sadly,they are the ones whom one would have expected to speak up for their Islamic sisters.

     

    Zilch.

     

    Agreed?

    I blame it on global warming. Which is the result of the CO2 emissions caused by peopling having to google acronyms all the time.

     

     

    MADMITCH quite likely is to blame for a goodly percentage all on his own-I miss him,reading his posts was like doing a crossword puzzle blindfolded!-but wtf does SIMBT mean?!

    16 Roads,

     

    jist so yo read it correctly,UNREPENTANT ATHEIST,

     

    and if you took time to actually read the posts, i referred to whatever holy books pertaining to whatever religion you profess.

     

    those books would include:the Bible,The Quran,the Torah.The Book of Mormon,etc.etc,

     

    The occurring theme i pursue,unrepentantly, is that the adherence to religion is the problem as this begets (see what I did there) the sectarian blood-letting between them.

     

    Jist saying like.

    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.

     

    ————————————————————————————————————————

     

    I was there.I think.

     

    :-)

     

    My first Celtic match.

     

    I well remember standing and waiting with the male members of my family as the bus swept (as they do) round the corner from Hampden onto Aitkehead Rd.

     

    The Scottish Cup placed at the front of the bus for all to see.

     

    My patrimony.

     

    And I`m still grateful.

    To be serious for a change,belief in a Supreme Being is entirely down to the individual,IMO. As such,it should be a personal thing.

     

     

    Were it left at that,everything would be hunkydory. The problems arise when the beliefs of others are subjugated by the power of men. Too many people through the ages have forced their beliefs on others.

     

     

    To the contradiction of the ultimate teachings of the religion they profess to follow.

     

     

    Live and let live.

  9. In the middle of June and our club must be realy desprate,Taking bookings for Christmas Party, says it all for who is running our club,Pukki is gone ,had a few chances.but i never had much confidince in him,anyway good luck.

  10. Violent secularists have blamed religion as the biggest cause of death in our history whilst forgetting all about imperialism, currently more people are dying as a result of imperialism than religion. That is an inconvenient truth.

    “I know of no one who has done more for humanity than Jesus. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Christianity… The trouble is with you Christians. You do not begin to live up to your own teachings.”

    Pretty much agree. And since it violates virtually every credo,it might be interesting to view their version of the afterlife.

    The ultimate proof of a theory is that it works in practice.

     

     

    So…

     

     

    Theory-Nature abhors a vacuum.

     

     

    Practice-CQN in close-season.

    Leeds at Hampden 1970 is one of the half-dozen or Celtic games I’ve attended where the tension and atmosphere reached another level, even higher than 95% of the matches against rfc1972. I can still feel the knot in the pit of my stomach as the teams ran out. You could have cut out a chunk of the atmosphere generated by over 140,000 fans.

     

    Seville 03 and Dukla 67 are two of the others.

  17. Loving how pukki’s transfer fee is going up every time someone guesses it, it started at £1m and is now at £3m by midnight it will be through the £10m mark.

    Some stuff discussed yesterday with a mate. My experience of thems over the years openly displaying their bigotry and thinking nothing of it. I played for the works team late 80s. It was a mixed bunch and we all got on great. We made it to a cup final but every round before that we looked a right ragtag bunch, with an old strip some other team had thrown away. Anyway we decided to chip in for a new strip and managed to get a Norwich one half price. The captain was a sevconian and good wee guy who never came across as a bigot, but he point blank refused to wear green and yellow. I thought he was at the kidding but he pulled out of the game. Unbelievable and I told him so. Things were never the same between us.

    No, well there you go, just because it doesnt suit your agenda or beliefs. Im not saying its right but it has credibility to it and makes sense.
