In the early years of our re-emergence as a ‘proper’ football team under Martin O’Neill, Celtic were patronised by the suggestion that they ‘don’t play friendlies’, largely as a result of Martin’s ability to win games against teams from south of the border.
That comment is seldom aired these days, as for many years, Celtic have stretched their muscles in friendlies without worrying too much about the score. Gordon Strachan’s teams would lose the meaningless games with regularity but would largely win the important qualifiers which followed. So much so I’d probably feel uncomfortable watching Celtic apply themselves too much when it didn’t matter.
We will get a good measure of how match fitness needs to improve ahead of Champions League qualifiers in two weeks when we face Ukrainian aide, Sevastopol, tonight. Ukrainian football is one of the most sought-after properties in the game at the moment; the Russians have been making amorous overtures to the entire league, as they hope to build a super-league by joining up with the Ukrainians. I’m sure Celtic officials will have an active interest in the subject ahead of the game.
No injuries, please, you can forget about the score.
Delighted to hear Roy Keane is coming up for the Celtic Charity #19 game for Stiliyan Petrov’s Foundation on 8 September. Stan played with some timeless Celtic heroes (Roy’s 13 games doesn’t give him enough material to qualify for this accolade) in his seven years at the club; my money is on the event selling out (ticket details at bottom of page) as they are confirmed one at a time……

The doc can control your blood pressure and cholesterol with drugs. I also had blood pressure and cholesterol problems which were brought well under control with drugs. I was advised to stop eating too much dairy products, bacon, eggs and red meat. FFS I love on a farm and farm poultry. When I told this to the doc, he replied, word for word, “sell your eggs”. I thought, what a tit. Lol

I started with the drugs today, he was specific about stopping fat milk and butter right away, I rarely eat eggs and don’t eat that much red meat, love a bit of pork tho’ I’m surprised it’s so high, been a lot of stress tho’ in the last year or two!
A wee wake up call for sure but I’ve been talking about getting fitter for about a year so it’s time to get the finger out!
Glad I live out of the city now that was a good move for me..

Having watched sad sack interviewing bawsack, is anyone sure that it’s actually Jabba? I was waiting for the ‘…I’m yer father!…’ Line from the Shadow.
‘Having spoke to corporate lawyers….’ Really? You didn’t have access to people who had an understanding of insolvency law whilst working at the DR? How skint is Trinity Mirror?
Nearly 29000 STs… I’m nearly a millionaire.
Jabba the hut issuing threats again the lowlife scumbag.
Blame everybody else except the real culprits like Sir David Murray.
They cheat they threaten and the steal from charity and they still blame everyone else.
They are the lowest of the low and I wish they would disappear for good.
BT
Your spot on…forgot he didn’t drink….coffee will do that to you .

I am also trying to shed some weight, so if you want to select a time and day, I’ll join you.
I am guided by my better half on the best way for me, but so far it involves no chocolate, no bread, small portions of potatoes, rice, pasta – loads of veg, fruit and such. No booze except at weekends and even then restricted to one bottle of vino between us. :0(
So far I have lost a whopping 4lbs.
Anyway, good luck.
SP.
Milk is only added to coffee because said coffee is rank..
Coffee should be taken like whisky. Neat..
