“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.

Evening troops, need some help remembering a movie from late 80′s or early 90′s regarding a heist on a casino in Las Vegas and all the robbers were dressed in Elvis white suit outfits. Anybody remember the name of the movie please?
—————–
There was also Honeymoon in Vegas with Nick Cage and loads of other Elvis (Elvi) jumping from a plane

If you like Elvis movies try “Finding Graceland” starring Harvey Keitel and Bridgette Fonda

We will soon see if fasan gets the nod for number 2 as zaluskas away today! Hope he gets a chance
Don’t know whether to be happy or sad having read Paul’s header.
Happy, knowing that we won’t be sucked into the bonkers world of inflated fees for average players.
Sad, knowing that it is unlikely that we will be pushing the boat out to improve our team.

Saw this on TSFM
It’s a long read,but interesting

Would add Kris C to the list, although I personally also believe Kris may see less games next season ? Still think he has a huge part to play though

Thank you so much for your response. I take on board your comments, and agree generally, but I am not prepared to sit here and read my Church being denigrated by so called Catholics. If I am very wrong on this matter, sorry. Aye that’ll be right, if they are not happy being Catholics, and cannot change anything to do with the Catholic Church, I’m sure the wee frees would welcome them with open aprons. Nuff said. Cheers kiddo.

I would be prepared to give young Fasan a chance, may be a bit of risk though for European competition
Suppose he needs to start somewhere though :-)
Boabyevans
Thanks, he nearly won. Great run and great info
Hootenanny tomorrow in the 305. 4 / 1 at the moment but that price could go
Cowiebhoy
Forster was 22 when he came to us, he excelled,fasan is 21. He’s made first squad so would seem natural for him to progress and play hopefully pre season.
Robert88
He would most certainly get a game in our first 2 rounds of the Scottish Cup :-)))

If yer still lurking enjoy the Lloyd Cole gig tonight.
If you get the chance tell him I was asking for him.
Saw him last about 25 years ago.

Fantastic! You’ve just reminded me that I have some in the fridge that needs used up (that’s my excuse anyway). I’ll spread it on some bread!
You’ll need to let me know how your batch is.

Naw, but you have a fu fu titting, which describes you to perfection. FUCK, NOW I KNOW WHY I’M OUTA HERE. I will catch up with the Real Celtic Supporters at CP, and hopefully St Mirrin Park for the pre’s. Looking forward to the new season big time. Unfortunately missed the end of season celebrations due to emergency surgery, take care all you Tims.. YNWA.

UEFA Euro Under 21 Championship.
Italy 1 – Sweden 2.
First Swedish goal was scored by John Guidetti. He look thinner , fitter and much more interested than he ever did at Celtic ( IMO)
Tallybhoy … If I get a chance to chat with him, I will tell him that Tallybhoy says hello!

That’s interesting. Cannae be bothered with players who cannae be bothered.
Brentford spent£9,102,244 on players wages in the season they got promoted to the Championship.
Yep, over £9 million was spent on wages in the playing side whilst they were in the 3rd tier.
Now, where have I heard something like that before?

Hi fellow tims.
Weefrathetim entertaining posts tonight. Although, my opinion is all on the blog are equal, you are certainly spicing up the blog tonight.
What is the stars.
I backed Limato ante post last Saturday, best price 7/2. Now available at 11/2. Ryan Moore factor for Hootenanny. He really is brilliant, I managed to get placepot up for £1.20 today and bet time test single, so profitable day today. I bet GM Hopkins single at 12/1 yesterday but still had a small loss on the day. I had steamed into Ivawood at 5/2 last.

I’m a practicing Catholic. My faith is very important to me.
However, a religion is comprised of human beings and apart from the Holy Father , no one is infallible .
I do not know enough about the churches record in World war 2 to make comment.
What I do know is that there is room for criticism of the Church , much as I dislike that to be the case. Some of it will undoubtedly be justified.
That’s what u get with mere mortals.
God bless our Pope & Hail Hail wee mhan.

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.
———————————————————————————————————————–
If Hitler were a Catholic,why would he have persecuted Catholics,including members of the clergy?
There`s an amazing amount of footage of Hitler available. Hitler at work,Hitler at play, Hitler in Paris……
Have you seen any footage of Hitler in Church? Any Church?
Is it really necessary that we sign a headless chicken type forward who runs all over the place?
What about signing a striker that just puts the ball in the net?
Surely that should be the objective?
Not as lazy as Mark Viduka, but a player with similar ability to score goals.
Headless chicken type footballers that can run from now until doomsday are a dime a dozen – what’s the point though if they can’t do what is most important, score goals?
I don’t understand the reasoning.
HH.
Have to say I was disappointed to see my post, about the S. Carolina shooting, treated as an anti-US sentiment.
Just two quick points. Firstly, I was very specific about the perpetrator I was criticising, may he rot in hell. Secondly, the victims were all Americans too.
Cowiebhoy,
I am a fan of Kris C, excellent domestically , but he has never really done anything in Europe outside the early qualifiers.
Domestically his ability to win & execute free kicks, coupled with finding space 25 yards out, is worth 9/10 goals a season, but in Europe the defenders are a bit more streetsmart and he often gets caught in possession.
The big signings I think we need to make are
– a back up keeper; god help us if CG was injured
– a plan B for VVD
– a striker who isnt a project and isn’t related to The Impairment Quadruplets
Also, I suspect we may see a stronger challenge from Aberdeen this year. Add in that if we get to CL group stages , this will lead to more non contact injuries, I think its important that there are 3/4 youngsters ( Fisher, McGregor, Henderson & O’Connell) who can step up immediately at places like Pittodrie or Tynecastle etc
Watching WATCHDOG on BBC – ROGUE TRADERS – it’s all about ‘phoenix companies’ – why not report Rangers Football Club Ltd – Rangers International – The Rangers – Sevco Scotland – Sevco 5088.
This weeks company keeps changing names ans scamming people out of tens of £000s – the old Ibrox mob just the same, but it’s tens of £MILLIONS

If people have a problem with the American constitution – they would perhaps be better voicing their concerns to the American people.

The Second Ammendment wasn’t mentioned in name, but it was quoted in part.
Some of the TV coverage of the US Open is absolutely bowf especially at the 18th green.There have been many examples, Cabrera for instance finishing with a birdie putt but no indication of his score whatsoever !!
