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:

Murdoch is now emulating his hero Kerry Paker. He will be the death of football. Football will become only for the elite clubs.
Just what is it that you want to do?
We wanna be free
We wanna be free to do what we wanna do
And we wanna get loaded
And we wanna have a good time
That’s what we’re gonna do
No way baby lets go
We’re gonna have a good time
We’re gonna have a party
I don’t wanna lose your love (4x)
Just what is it you wanna do?
I’m gonna get deep down, deep down
I said, (I’m gonna get deep down) deep down
Woo hey!

“Just what is it that you want to do ? ”
Sampled from a dialogue in Roger Corman’s —–Wild Angels movie .
An absolute doozey starring Peter Fonda and Nancy Sinatra .
Remember going to see it in a Glasgow flea pit near Central Station ..
A film critic [ can’t remember who ]said this ———
“OK -after 24 beers “
A Stor..,
St Simons is another example of scottish rewriting of history, Partick riots at the beginning if the last century were in fact attacks on the Catholic Church St Simon’s being built, you wont find that truth in the Partick library.
Some quotes from googybhoy ♥ Celtic link at 09:23
As much as CO and his enablers sicken me they wont keep me away from celtic.

On November 7th 2012 Celtic Football Club celebrated its 125th year with an astounding result. Tito Villanova the coach of Barcelona said after that match…
“The stadium was spectacular, I have been lucky in my career to have been to many grounds, but I have never seen anything like it. This was their 125th birthday and I wish them many more years.”
One reporter said of the Celtic supporters and their bond with the team on that memorable evening……
‘Somewhere between madness and love, this fanaticism did for Barcelona on a night when the Celtic team and their disciples were indivisible. Money can’t buy you that.’
Even the Barcelona players who have tasted the atmosphere of Champions League and World Cup Finals were blown away. Consider the following…
“No words to describe the atmosphere at Celtic Park,” wrote Gerard Piqué
“The stadium is a marvel – the fans, the people, how they support their team, It’s an example for every team.” Xavi
BlantyreTim your uncle will be at every game that you go too. Remember the good times and may your uncle rest in peace.
Jackie Mac hope all goes well keep the faith.
Jobo Aberdour is to far awat fro ER. What is happening to the weather down there while you are having a few asprins.
Good to hear that the annual golf tournie was anoter success. Would like to get to that one someday. Have a great weekend all.
For all you CQN’ers who can’t have Sunday breakie at Aberdour or Glasgow try this
2lb ground pork mince ( or beef but I think pork sausage meat is best)
> 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
> 1 1/2 ” pepper
> 1 ” nutmeg
> 2 ” coriander
> 2 cups plain breadcrumbs
> 1/2 cup water (if needed to bind)
>
> Mix all dry ingredients first.
> Add meat a little at a time, mixing thoroughly.
> Add 1 cup breadcrumbs at a time & mix thoroughly.
> Add water only to bind. Shape into a long loaf.
> Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate until hard enough to slice
> Freeze flat.

Just had a wee look at the playlist for today and there’s no mention of Ten Storey.
Surely, surely a mistake in print!!!???
Some great feed back about Willie Wallace’s book yesterday — thanks to all who took the time to say hello and talk about it.
If we have any Australian posters and lurkers who have not ordered one but would like to— if you do that now we can send the books back out with Willie when he heads home to Australia at the end of the month.
Cheers

I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to introduce myself on Thursday night but every time I looked over you were in company.
A great night and a real treat.

Haven’t made plans yet I’d love to see The View but don’t want to be going in at half 4. What about you?
Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan supports Kano 1000
If it is not too much trouble, I’d like two. Paul (I think) would give you my contact details, if required.
leftclic , googybhoy high praise from a fitba mad nation. If we could see ourselves as other see us. Home or away Celtic people show the World that Celtic are much more than just a football club. Win lose or draw the Celts will be there. 125.

That’s a shame– you should just have come over and told then to get out the way!!!
There will always be a next time! The fools have asked me back to do some speaking in August…….. everyone else must have taken a vow of silence.

The best way to do it is probably to use the order box above and use the address details to enter delivery details and so on.
We can then pick everything up from there.
Cheers

Heading out the now so may just see The View

I was the daftie up the back that asked the final question. Thought the whole night was a great success and I can see why J has asked you back!!
Good afternoon friends.
Just back from an absolutely fantastic 24 hours in sunny Aberdour. A big thank you to everyone that organised the day which as usual went like clockwork. Have a bit of a blank between midnight and waking up at 9.00am but seemed to have behaved myself as far as I can tell.
Roll and sausage time…
so with Kieron Priors £400,000 investment, will Sevco lemmings sing “… up to our knees in Fenian money”?

I heard Kyle from The View being interviewed on R2 during the week-I now appreciate the problem people down here have with my posh educated Kilwinning accent!
He’s a big TIM,and it would be nice if he popped down from his N London gaff to watch THE HOOPS in Brentford next month. He might be busy wi that music stuff he does though.
I envy you guys today’s outing,particularly THE VIEW. As for the weather,we watch Celtic in worse….
Hope you all have a belter!
Jackie Mac,
All the best
Jobo – wins record for asking me 12 times ” is that Taggsy speaking?”

I like how they’re calling it an “investment”? So their bank balance will be better off by £400,000 then?

From a long time ago .
1967 / 68 —–last year at school / Highers sat the year before . Skiving /pottering about ,waiting to go to Uni .
Did History / we did some local history / we did research re source material at The Mitchell . Memory says they had a lot of stuff re Partick. I remember there being a lot of material re The Partick Riots of 1875. Lasted several days —– said to have been triggered by an Irish Republican march on Dumbarton Road.
