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:

Start at the “Last Wake Up Call” and inject it into current events. :)))
Back when the first Depression (2008) crash happened I noticed Russia just suspended their market each time.WOW.
Remember put the audio into context, I’m sure you will.
Respect everyone, even those you hate, you will always feel better for it, TRUST me on that.

I’m with you on that one……….LOL
Trying to buy 2 tickets for the Liverpool game in dublin as Mrs Bam wants to go. The problem is I can only get one with my SB . I need someone ,who’s not going to let me use their client ref. Anyone help me ?

Surely they would aknowledge that they don’t qualify for round 1 because they are members of the SFL, but they do fall into round 2’s category because they are neither current SPL members nor a club which plays in Div 1 or 2 of the SFL, so therefore there is no need to jump to the rules for avoiding round 3.
If I’m reading it right and I was one of them, that’s how I’d get around that arguement.

Hope to be proved wrong, but it is a tall order to expect Balde to hit the ground running and start banging in goals like Hooper and Stokes. Gary has an average strike rate of 28 goals over the past three seasons since he joined and I don’t think we can afford to let a guy like that depart unless we get bloody good money for him.

By your reckoning nothing bad will happen to newco.
I bet you also said for years nothing bad would happen to old co.
I was having a beer wi one of my mates earlier,discussing summat or other,and he referred to himself as a glass half full kinda a guy
I pointed out his glass was brimming as I had just got him a pint.
He then said,true but it’s my round next.
Some people are never happy.
Me,delighted at their current state,and hopeful it will worsen.
Try and enjoy it,mate. I am

Published on 14/06/2013 09:34
MICHAEL Carroll, the man who spent the entirety of his £10 million lottery jackpot in ten years, has taken a job at the Walkers shortbread factory in Elgin.
Carroll, who won a £9,736,131 National Lottery jackpot in 2002, has taken up the job at the biscuit factory this week according to the Daily Record. Carroll was left with just 70p to his name at the end of his spending spree last year.
Carroll, 30, bought a plush mansion in Norfolk with his winnings and reportedly held regular stock car races on the grounds. He also invested £1 million in Rangers Football Club, and gave away almost a third of his jackpot to his friends and family. He estimates that he spent £12,000 a week on illegal drugs at the height of his excesses, and took over 100 trips to Spain in the decade.
He had the phrase ‘King of Chavs’ painted on the side of his van, which he owned along with cars worth £500,000. In 2006 he was jailed for nine months after weilding a baseball bat at a Christian rock concert.
A neighbour living near Carroll’s home close to the Walkers factory told the Record: “He’s not been anti-social since he’s been here, he’s just got his head down and got on with the job.

Petec,
I am well past the stage of trying to read about religion.
I tried that for about 40 years.
Just one thing….
A couple of times you have advised me about how I should act towards people I hate.
The thing is that there is not even ONE person on Earth that I HATE.
I hate some of the things some people SAY, & some of the things they DO.
I will always challenge those things, but it won’t make me HATE the person involved.
Good Luck.
Off to walk a mile or two.
a nice wee post from Tim Tim on the “for we only know blog” it kinda sums up what is happening with the SFA and the shameful MSM
ScotPatsFan
The little problem Sevco had with the Scottish Cup was last season.
Because it was their first season and they were a plucky SFL Division 3 outfit, they started in round three.
Of course, if Sevco were a club that had competed in the SPL in the previous season, they would not have had to play in round three.

Stop being sensible, FGS
Kilbowie Kelt/Petec:
The Priest was slaughtered because he had the strength of his convictions and refused to be silenced. You don’t have to be a Christian to have strength in your convictions, but my point, above all else is – he, along with all the thousands of others, chose to die rather than be cast second class or silenced.
I’ll post this again. The man who tried to wipe the Catholics of Mexico out forever was a mason. He did so with a degree of American help with Oil and Dollars, and the oppression of a faith they feared, being the motivation.
Watch the movie if you can, better still… read the books, you can buy them for a few dollars, then tell me there are no parallels between Mexico then… and Scotland now.
My earlier post again. (apologies to those following the golf)
If you can’t stand up for what you believe in, for what your mouth boasts that your heart most desires… then who, or what, are you?
Maybe it would’ve been better if these folks had just renounced their faiths; their values, their dreams, but then again, they chose not and they paid with all that they had… they paid in blood, their blood, rather than be silenced.

regarding your nom de plum my good fellow
As I see it ibrox either belongs to Craig Whyte or the Creditors.
if CW used ibrox as a security for his 20 million quid loan, it belongs to him
if he didn’t it should be sold and given to the creditors
now it all becomes more complex if CG did manage to steal it from him
wot a stinkin mess

To borrow a great phrase from the dear and much-missed SFTB, “if you ignore all the inconvenient bits”, Sevco are Rangers and going into administration and then liquidation meant nothing and made no difference whatsoever and all is spectacularly well at Ibrox.

Aye thought it was pretty good but I don’t buy into the hype of how good it is..
Well worth a watch tho’

As you have eluded well done to Corsica. Fabulous forensically examined material expertly presented. RIVETING
A truly remarkable article.
Its a pity it has more than 100 words contained within it , ruling it out being read by the vast majority of CQNers never mind punters. Which is a shame as this needs HEAVILY publicised.
I also think Its important for all of us to publicise the roles played in this by Manchester Utd and AC Milan. And Cardihun and Sally naturally.
If it was publicised they would have to deny or plead ignorance of their roles in a scam that stole from charity.
The carefree ungoverned light fingered way of life is why Sevco is being saved.
I would also target huns WHO pretend to be decent or think they are.
You cant have your greggs pie and eat it.
The names of those associated by this needs tarnished until they come out and openly condemn it.

Had to be you mhate.:O)..I know all about ,it’s never been off the blog how good it is.
BTW it will still not beat ‘The Wire’.
hail hail to you in Swissland.

“Gotta start organising the troops about this ASAP”
Yes Brentford is looking good, a few Wycombe bhoys will be on there way up.
But we’ll have to get on it, I think the tickets are going fast, last time I just booked and hoped for a pre-season in London I was left with half a dozen tickets.
This time it could’ve been the smart move.
Hail! Hail!

Where is this financial help coming from??
Everyone who has been involved so far has been a spiv. There whole history for the last 30 yrs has involved spivs taking from them . According to their last accounts there are losing £1m per month. They cant pay for Ibrox and Murray Park and the Admin associated with a large support without SPL and European money. They are light years away from competing in the group stages of Europe.
There are no investors out there willing to lose millions in the hope of one day getting it back. Their history has shown that!!
Voguepunter,
The wire was really good, but BB was sensational. My best TV show by a country mile.

They started in round 3? Do you mean round 1?
I have to go out to pick up the youngster.

I hope you are right my good man, I sincerely do. but what if…..
they go bust again and drop more residual debt
would any south African tax payers money help them out?
like I say I hope you are right, but I don’t want to leave it to chance
Vogupunter, Nonsense you say? I await my apology in a weeks time.
