Balde, Hooper, summer challenges

1119

13 June and Celtic have signed a striker!  Do we have some important games coming up early in the season?  6’4” Amido Balde joined Sporting Lisbon three years ago but never made an appearance for the club.

After three loan deals he joined Vitoria Guimaraes a year ago, where he caught the eye of Celtic scouts.  At 22-years-old, he is right in the sweet spot of Celtic’s recruitment strategy: fully developed physically, old enough to be considered prime first team material but with many years of prime football ahead.

Playing for Celtic is quite different than playing for Vitoria Guimaraes, so it may take Amido a period of adjustment to settle into life as a Glasgow sporting celebrity, but he is clearly the man Neil Lennon and the scouts wanted.  Based on that, I’m happy.

Despite what could be described as cover, and the fact that the player has declined a new contract, I’m still not happy to sell Gary Hooper.  We have lots to do this summer before that moves up the agenda.

Welcome to Celtic, Amido.

The raffle for a signed Celtic top in aid of 1254125 ends early tomorrow morning. THIS IS THE LAST CALL FOR TICKETS, which cost only £1 each. Get in there…..

Pick up a book, Heart of a Lion, a manual, if you like, on how it’s done here:

    Petec,

     

     

    read your discussions with others on here in recent weeks regarding sub club, etc.

     

     

    Great to be reminded of those days, but I was always more of a floppy fringed fury murry’s man than sub club.

     

     

    Although this wee tune has always stuck with me

    And as B-sides go, I always loved this. Brilliant, just brilliant.

    If the boo Bhoys lay off Efe he will blossom.

    That is just it, I don’t know how to, ever since the link creator was taken away.

    Hamilton tim, was with the Priest tonight, singing yor praises for taking him home last night, he really is a legend, he took me all over the place to watch the hoops, so many stories.

     

     

    Hopefully we will have the chance to meet up.

  4. The Comfortable Collective,

     

     

    I cannae wait to see Primal Scream as well, what a day in store in the Rain.

     

     

    I can remember me and my wee brother (a Geneva Stockbroker noo) tripping out to this, way bach in the day.

    I had just mastered the link creator on here when it was removed.

     

     

    Needless to say,I was beelin’!

     

     

    Then just when I had cracked how to do it on my lappy,I lost my broadband connection!!!

     

     

    Seems my links are destined to be scruffy users of bandwidth….

  6. As to all the revelations exposing Media House, in insidious cahoots with others, fabricating favourable agendas for them and their clients, is it too farfetched to question whether they would stoop to trying to undermine/influence, the thinking, and/or, opinion of Celtic (football) Supporters websites such as this.

     

     

    Only asking like before I go getting paranoid like!

  7. Evenn fholks.

     

     

    Kit, as always, great to have you back!

     

     

    As for your post at 03:19, it’s surely a given, and they have to be eventually getting more clever at it. Scumbags.

     

     

    But they’ll never defeat this place. Never.

     

     

    All my videos are being deleted by youtube due to absurd copyright claims by the SPL. Basically, we have to put our trust in the ole Board. We’ve no choice. Time will tell. But I heard something tonight that surprised me and re-enforced the absurd possibility that the UFH is indeed pulling some strings in all this, which is good.

     

     

    But the support should always come first before any agenda. Mibbes not when money’s involved though it seems :((

    Great vids. Woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep.

     

     

    After watching some of them I reckon I need a pill to get back now.

     

     

    Great work

    What are the current odds for Rangers being crowned Scottish champions at Ibrox in 2016?

     

    Just askin Ken likesy.

  10. Doh!

     

     

    I’ve killed the blog again!

     

     

    I should just feck off !

     

     

    Off to greet at the desperate pish of BBC News 24.

     

     

    Nite all. :))

     

     

    PS did Winston ever mention the words “depression” and “despair”? …And are these feelings more common in society now than ever before?….and are these feelings the cause of apathy for every next generation?

     

     

    If you answer “yes” to those questions, you’re a moon-howlin conspiracy theorist blog pish talkin level-lowerering arse-wipe detecting genius like myself! Nice to meet you! HH. Oh, and welcome to GCHQ because you are also a threat to the present authority system.

    Welcome to my world,haha!

     

     

    How you doing,big fella?

  12. clunks

     

     

    Thanks amigo, really appreciate that. But like I said, 70% of them deleted due to cr by the SPL – the football footage was minimal, AND within youtube copyright rules. Yet another example of how dirty the b’stards are.

  13. BMCUW,

     

     

    :))

     

     

    Am good, thank you amigo!.

     

     

    Always good to come here, and chat with intelligent fholks. We are all the scourge of the establishment……

     

     

    PS that wee bag of tobacco you gave me only finished today. Tardis Tobacco :)))

  14. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    Good stuff,matey-strong till you get used to it!

     

     

    A pouch will last the week,the resulting cough lasts much longer!

  15. BMCUW,

     

     

    I don’t want to be welcomed to that world anyhoo!!

     

     

    Love is torturous enough, but for it to go wrong cos you missed a train…..nae sympathy….Personally, if I was stalking Agnetha, I’d have went with the “pouncing during a book signing” approach……

    Stories of them being deid are greatly exaggerated.

     

    How can they be?

     

    The whole SFA pension plan is based on them
