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……

Tomorrow morning I am going to weigh myself and get started right away, porridge for breakfast then off to France shopping for low fat milk!!
Eat less I guess! Then a weekly weigh in, never done it before, when I worked in the kitchen I never needed to being home has certainly affected my weight, about 82/83 kilos now..
Let’s go for it..
If you happen to live in as part of this country which will be celebrating the poisonous bigotry that is paid for by the taxpayer, whtpy not head to Paisley which is celebrating the success of striking workers against oppressive owners.

Thursday am weigh ins.
Mind my am weigh in will be around 1.00pm Celtic Park time as I’m based in the US.
My weight is currently in excess of 83 kgs.. by a considerable margin.
I will reveal the true figure at the 1st weigh in :0)
I’m guessing you live sur le continent, since you talk in new money (kgs) and not lbs.
Off to eat a dry cracker.

Aw this talk of diets and exercise is making me tired and hungry if only I could get aff the couch and deep fry chocolate in lard….
Best way to lose weight, eat small amounts several times a day, drink plenty water, gentle exercise, walking and sit ups…..easy…

When the Rangers boss was asked about his footballing philosophy and what kind of Rangers he wants to give the fans, McCoist said he wants to entertain them, but his main focus was on winning.
Well that is 2 Boxes Ally Hasn’t Ticked Yet..

83kg Whats that in Stones & pounds. Doesn’t sound too heavy to me.
Not be long now and brother Longmuir will be employed by his beloved club.

Just over 13 stone, I don’t think I’m that big but the Doc reckons it’s got to go down, sorry for hogging the blog the day, I’ve got no mates here really to talk about such stuff.
Glad to have CQN some days more than others..
