“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.

My opinion/view since 1968, my time in N/E Highlands on the SNP/Chamaeleon Party, often male English/with scottish grannies enabling them to wear kilts.Winnie Ewing’s heyday, after they had done as well as possible with the Lib.Dems they moved up the scale to gather the fading Tory vote. After years spent there successfully, not alienating the previous “yellows” a complete shift to the left to drain a demoralised (Blair/Iraq for me) Labour.Again seemingly no alienation from former gains?
There you have it- a parasite with only one aim, the complete cycle in 50 ish years.
Late tonight slight motor cycle accident,my inebriated “chauffeur” after first going into a field “duped” me into getting back on,walked a bit,tired long afternoon (no drink). My please for “slow” were laughed at through the ruts and potholes with a “falang afraid and showing off until we landed on the bank of a ditch. Big toe caught in the spokes otherwise ok,got herself up and the bike, no more “duping”, pitch dark walked over an hour before she heeded my F.O. and got me a lift.
Thais have never had an empire and are proud of the fact that they were never colonised, nevertheless they can be racist. We all have faults!
Which brings me to a light hearted end with..

I have Sky Sports,BT Sports,Sky Italia,Setanta,PremierSports,Polski Sports,Dutch Sports,German Bundesliga,Austrian Sky,Belgian Sky,all movie channels,all British TV.All brand new film channel.All Fox.All Comedy Channels,Sky Gold,and hundreds more I dont watch,for the princely sum of £100 per year.Included is any maintenance to dishes etc.
All done through a Dream box.
The Turkish guy who runs it has customers all over Germany,Holland.5 years with him,never had a problem.Fantastic service.And 300 days of sunshine
But surely your dream retreat must be a top contender for “the evilest empire GOD ever created” (approximately your quote). Presuming, to you Allah=God! And you have read the history of the Turks even since they left the steppes?
Of course your “outright winner” cannot boast of many sunny days and it’s more expensive to live there but that shouldn’t mean that it’s more evil.
Opinions differ as CQN proves. LOL

Anyone else notice how the story in today’s online Daily Rager regarding Hutton, does not mention him as ‘the ex-Rangers player’. If this was a ‘negative press story’ on an ex-Celt, it would be listed all over it.

With regards to the influence of the church on the third reich Wikipedia is partly right hitler is on record as saying that science would eventually eradicate religion as an absurdity that it is and dispel all of its myths. However he never renounced his upbringing or religion.
I know where I stand with regards to nazis (Germany only 2% athiest in 1939! )and the Vatican you can also use another comparison with Francos Spain and the Vatican, an equally evil empire there backed by who ?
An inconvenient truth is exactly what it is.

Reading so many different sources condemning the church and very few of them consistent with each other I find suspicious.
The one above is very unusual as it is one of the few I think that tell it from the churches perspective and not like most I’ve read, anti church.

3000 Miles to Graceland is a 2001 crime film, starring Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Bokeem Woodbine, Christian Slater, and Kevin Pollak. It is a story of theft and betrayal, revolving around a plot to rob the Riviera Casino during a convention of Elvis impersonators. Prior to the film’s opening, Warner Bros. released a series of animated prequels voiced by stars Costner, Slater, Long and Woodbine. “The Road to Graceland” prequels marked the first time a major film’…more

For most of the year I am based in the North-western Italian port city of La Spezia.
Between 1945-48 some 23,000 displaced Jewish persons set sail -clandestinely -from here to the Palestinian mandate – later the State of Israel.
On Israeli maps La Spezia is called Shaar Zion: Gateway to Zion.

The point is that we face up to uncomfortable truths. Then we move on.
They won’t, can’t face reality and look where it leads them. Yep, back to the 17th Century.

No disagreement from me about the perceived and real associations between Catholicism and regimes many of us consider to be evil.
Hitler`s words and deeds spoke louder than any overt “renunciation” of the “apparent” religion of his birth.The persecution of Catholics in Germany who spoke out against the Nazis reinforces the point.
I understand that his father was profoundly anti-Catholic.
Bloomberg TV run an advert for Microsoft cloud which is all about watching Real Madrid from anywhere in the world using the cloud software, etc.
During the ad, it is stated verbally and in text on-screen that ‘Real Madrid have 450 million supporters’ worldwide.
That is 50 million less than Sevco.
Has anyone informed Hugh Keevins?
Weefra, I’ll talk to you aboot the world famous Glasgow Celtic
Was talking to a mate today, who is in Celtic Exec club, tells me Aiden McGeady return is a real possibility ?
I think he would do well for us in similar role to Kris Commons, sitting off striker ?
What do you think

How are you and yer wee mum. I see she got out of hospital and she will be expertly cared for by your good self. I really don’t know what the blog is coming to. The, supposed experts, Google experts more like, are ruining the blog. Let’s talk about Celtic, how we see Club, not how these feckin experts are trying to tell us how wonderful Supporters they are. Let them show up and introduce themselves at CP, failing that, Shut TF up.

Hahaha, glad I read back; I was going to post that as I’ve been lurking on there during dinner.
There’s another thread about how happy they all are, and how they’ve got the feelgood factor due to the new regime sorting everything out and putting the club back on the road to success.
Antoehr muppet started a thread about how they’ve pipped Celtic to Danny Wilson and that Celtic declaring no interest in him is just arse-covering becasue the lure of the mighty Huns was too much.
A new management dou of Droopy Dag and a baker, one injury-prone unwanted mongrel signed for arounf £200,000 and suddenly we’re supposed to be terrified.
It’s all moonbeams they tell us, moonbeams.
Completely ignoring their financial peril and Big Mike’s scythe about to swing low, sweet chariot…
God, I love them dumb Hun Monkeys. Pass the popcorn…
Now away to read back

Anybody who spoke out was persecuted. Even his own generals, It does nothing to back up what you are suggesting and trying to separate the influence of the Catholic Church throughout that period from that mob.

Yes this is a Celtic blog, but occasionally some posters like to discuss other topics such as: music, films, literature, politics, the economy, world affairs…
Doesn’t make anyone less a supporter of the greatest football club in the world.
The mighty CELTIC!

Take care.

I saw that ad and that popped into my head about their half a billion fans!

I would be delighted to see Aiden return.
Since he left, he looked good at first in Russia but imho faded, and I suspect Martinez signed him thinking he could push Everton up the way.
As it turns out they have gone backwards, and Aiden is now struggling to get on the bench.
With the possible exception of a fit & inform Forrest, and Johansen he is better than any of our other attacking midfielders. He has also shown via performance against Valencia, that he can win games for us in Europe .
I would have thought a loan till Xmas must be a good option for Aiden, Celtic and Everton
cowiebhoy
How are you kiddo? I hope you and your beautiful family are superbe.
Talk To me about the ole world famo…….. Ach I know what you mean, my beef on here is, I don’t believe that the majority of posters on here, attend CP. being supporters they are entitled to their opinion, but coming to running the Club and how the Club should show it’s allegiances, they should get short shrift. We pay up front, big time, every season to watch and support our beloved Celtic, then these chancers, most whom have never seen CP, come on here and try to enhance their reputation as Celtic supporters. All of this is, of course, IMHO. Shove them. :-)

Wouldn’t put cash on Djuric or Vossen being up front for Celtic next season.
