“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.

“If people have a problem with the American constitution – they would perhaps be better voicing their concerns to the American people.”
Or we could express our sympathies here on this international forum.
“The Second Ammendment wasn’t mentioned in name, but it was quoted in part.”
The Constitution was drafted in the 18th century and has been amended many times. It is not a sacred text. One fifth of the human beings in this “free” land and beacon of liberty were slaves. They did not have voting rights but their masters were accorded more legislative influence based on their number, leading to the peculiar institution lasting longer than it should. The legacy of their treatment lingers to this day, with churches separated by colour and the additional hurdles faced by poor blacks to exercise their right to vote.
What happened today was as horrible as an Isis /Isil/ Taliban/ Boko Haram atrocity against Christians, Buddhists or fellow Muslims.
There are many Americans weary of this sad loss of life and of the “sorry too late” mob that exercise influence above their number.

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.

Disappointed? That your reasoned, and well-thought out commentary was given little or no logical consideration and the responses were simply ill-considered knee-jerk assumptions clouded by emotion and pre-existing prejudices?? On CQN??? You need to lower your expectations.

Not personally no,
You don’t see the pope or any reps from the Vatican in many brothels but the church still supports the porn industry by swallowing up shares in the industry amongst many unsavoury things.
simply type into Google images, hitler in church. Few awkward moments there!
All you need to do is read the books of history to know what’s what on this subject.
I’m not going to say much more on it, I gave my tuppence worth to what others were saying, but it really grates me when people change history to suit their argument or are to thick to research it themselves and formulate an opinion based on facts. Eg nazis (the German people ) were atheists.
I’m all things Celtic but I have a real distaste for religion and particularly the Catholic Church. for the good it does do the pr side it has an awful lot more to answer for.
Just Reading Back on the Whole Hitler/ Catholic Thing..Wow, Reminded me of somthing i once read…”Christianity is a Good thing, …….MEN have used it Badly”….I Agree with that…..
Off to watch the film Danny Collins.
Hopefully a good film…

Thanks for the heads up regarding the sale of individual match tickets for the Paisley friendly games. Just bought 3 online for the Dukla Prague match for my Polish and Slovakian workmates. Their first ever Celtic match. Bet it won’t be their last. :)

Enriched uranium and ricin don’t kill people if properly handled. But these substances are not on general sale to the public. Why not, do you think? Is it because some control is required, because we know there might be some nutters running around that might kill people with it?

Exactly what I was trying to say in a ham fisted way earlier
The American government are trying their level best to abolish the Second Ammendment.
A government does not have full control over armed citizens.
Marshall law is much more difficult to implement when a fair percentage of the population owns firearms.
The anti-gun brigade at government level and above are only interested in talking away people’s civil liberties.
That is the point that I am trying to make.

The Bank of England don’t have a free rein on interest rates, they work to requirements laid down by the government.
————–
Incorrect, if you know your history.
The Bank of England is OWNED by the Rothschilds.
Hence, it can do anything it pleases. Westminster is nothing more than state and corporate bankings puppet.
It keeps interest rates the way they are for the reason the middle class person can, at a stretch afford them.
Thus the greedy ole financial elite can bleed us dry, while we work our unmentionables off for them.
Simples.

I’ll agree with that, to me its obvious the US govt don’t like people and people being able to stand up for themselves.
What is the stars.
Thanks for that, always value your opinion.
Hootenanny best price 4/1 with bet Victor but as short as 9/4 with some others.
My take on it was Hootenanny and Tight Wiggy would take each other on and set it up for Limato. There has certainly been shed loads of money for your selection was easy to bet at 5/1 last week.

Trying to lighten the mood.
Does anyone know when County Louth, last won the All Ireland? (Football)
Who did the beat?
What is the connection with the song “Merry Ploughboy?”
No googling, Irish bhoys don’t give the answers too quick.

Like all these argument’s it’s a matter of weighing up the pros and cons of each position. Do you take away a civil liberty (for some) to gain the actual liberty of life for all?

Knife crime?
Do you ban kitchen knives because people have used them as a weapon to kill?
As I have stated already – if you have a problem with American laws or legislation – you’d really be better off going to America and expressing your concerns and criticism directly to the people of that country.
HH.
I’m a big fan of Anya. Any guy who can cut through the Germans like a knife through butter gets my vote. He has pace, technique and a finish. If Anya joined Mackay-Steven, and Armstrong we would be packing some serious pace down the left and give ourselves a much better chance of getting through the qualifiers, at which point – kerching! Anya’s fee is paid off, with a few quid to spare.

Thanks Canamalar.
And that isn’t a conspiracy theory mate, it’s a fact.
Millions of Americans simply don’t trust their own government, and rightly so in my humble opinion.

A government does not have full control over unarmed citizens either.
A vast Soviet Empire fell without gunshot violence in Poland and East Germany.
All the armed insurrections in the USA have failed

People need kitchen knives to cook and stuff. Also – a looney with a knife can’t cause anywhere near as much damage as a looney with an automatic assault rifle. I don’t really need to go to the U.S. to have an opinion and/or debate the issue – I can do it on the interwebs. Although I have had the discussion in the U.S. with U.S. citizens My experience was that some were for and some were against. I found the arguments of those for guns weak. So I think some form of control is sensible.

Reading back, I get the impression you think that having this opinion is some kind of attack on U.S. citizens ad their liberties. It’s not – it’s just a discussion on the pros and cons.
