I was discussing Beram Kayal during the week, specifically how he was keeping Victor Wanyama out of the Celtic team before that ‘tackle’ from Rangers’ McCulloch put him out of action for months. The player has never recovered his form but has never had a sustained run in the team either.
Nir Biton has made the holding position his own in recent weeks and, as a consequence, we’ve watched his form improve. News that he picked up an injury when playing for Israel against Slovakia last week, which is likely to disrupt his appearances for weeks, has come at the worst possible time. If he is to make this position his own, he needs performances between now and the end of the season.
Young players especially need games to reinforce their craft and build confidence, as well as to ensure fitness.

Seville, The Celtic Movement, launches tomorrow (rumours suggest I might get my hands on mine today).
“”Claire, where is my passport?” I was frantic now as I pleaded with my wife. She must know I thought. Claire, my wife of twelve years, suffers my trips away to support Celtic without a single moan. Not this time though as Claire would not give me her blessing to go on this trip telling me that our bakery was now at critical point, busy and with too many European away days this year they had taken their toll.”

No reason to dispute what you say.Terror was part of the agenda pre-Stalin
My understanding is that Stalin took it to a new level and that Stalin was the last person Lenin wanted to succeed him.
Stalin also eliminated every and any potential threat to his leadership.
These included much milder and much more popular men.

Just heard of the death of Tony Benn R.I.P.
Morning folks.
Just wanted to say to everyone that is going to CQN10 tonight……
Hope you all have a brilliant time.
Re the CL qualifiers this summer
Any thought been given to the first one being staged in Dublin
Much more chance of the Aviva being filled than Murdayfield
PFayr
The games have to be played in Scotland according to UEFA rules.
Good morning friends and a Big Happy CQteN Friday from a fairly bright, dry, calm and very excited East Kilbride.
79 caps
That explains it …thanks
Tbh I should have guessed that ….wouldn’t have been like CFC to miss the chance to make a dollar :-))
Compare the compassion and decency of Tony Benn with the selfishness and greed of the contemporary political leeches that we have today. My God, what a loss.
RIP Tony Benn
RIP Tony Benn.

Telegraph.
“The Committee of Privileges ruled against Benn, and on April 13 1961 he stood at the Bar of the House to hear himself expelled. Backed by a mass petition from Bristol , he fought an electrifying by-election. Malcolm Muggeridge and Lord Lambton spoke for him; Sir Winston Churchill gave support. ”

Possibly not to be matched with mine,it’s a bit of an outsider.
Your record of seconds is gut-wrenching,bud. My text yesterday was in jest.
If it’s any consolation,my placement of bets is even worse than my tipping-I keep backing my losers and ignoring my winners.
Something better change(cue for a song)
RIP Tony Benn, reunited at last with his beloved wife. Somebody you won’t find in modern politics – a man of principle.
RIP Tony Benn a true friend of Ireland and champion of the working class man.

Strange bedfellows indeed.
Sorry for lobbing that point in twelve hours ago and then effing off to bed. Unsporting of me.
Enjoy Sunday,bud.
So mr king has arrived to rescue sevco…….someone needs to tell him that, if he doesn’t buy over 50% of the shares, he can forget it……and the current owners will simply liquidate the assets, fill their pockets and walk away ……. And he doesn’t have much time to decide, since the £1.5m is dwindling rapidly :)…..that’s why he arrived yesterday……and when is the UTT due, since BDO action will follow….!!!!!!!!
Only last night, I was bemoaning the lack of passion and integrity in modern politics. In Tony Benn, you couldn’t find a greater contrast to the vacuous political muzak drip-fed daily to the British public. He combined great intellect with heartfelt conviction – a rare combination! No doubt I’ll listen to some of his speeches today to remind myself what a great politician sounds like.

Nae worries.

Ah…The Union of Fans
Doesn’t that have a familiar ring to it, historically speaking.
Its very similar to the name of an organisation, that good old Oswald Mosely was slightly involved with.
Union of fans….Union of fasc….
No, it couldn’t be, surely:)

RIP Tony Benn, a rare thing in modern politics, a socialist, principled willing to take a stance and hold to it.
Ok, I think im getting it now.
Union of Fans….Union of Fascists
Bluenoses and Blackshirts, and Nazi salutes….Strange 18th century clothing, and purple cushions.
Yeah, I think I get the message.
Surely im imagining all these connections:)

I was very fortunate to see Tony Benn a few times, the final time being last year, when at the age of 87 he captivated a lunch time audiance at a packed Royal Concert Hall.
Although frail, his recollections and anecdotes from the past 70 years were as vivid as ever.
The love of his life had died a few years before, and with it went a spark. He told the audiance that he was a shy man, and that was why it took him 9 days to propose after meeting his wife.
Anthony Wegwood Benn, the 2nd Viscount Stansgate, renouced it all, to fight for those that had no voice. He was a very rare breed, a man of wit and great intellect a conviction politician . RIP Tony you will be sadly missed.
King must have some air miles; according to BBC and STV news he has flown into Glasgow every day since the AGM………amazing how he always gets the same taxi and only has one suit and one shirt.
They live in hope,they are desperate.

Morning all. Grey day.
Let’s hope we are all cheered this evening.
Sad to hear of the passing of Tony Benn, one of THE great men of post-War British politics.

On a day like today it is , for me anyway , difficult to reconcile that a reptile like Blair actually led the Labour Party.
RIP. Tony Benn.

Not only did he lead them, he led them to victory, and I celebrated like millions of others. Little did I know, the wolf in sheeps clothing. The labour party has never recovered.

On a brighter note, I’m really looking forward to meeting a good few CQN’ers tonight. OldTim if you are lurkin’ where are you going to be about 5.00pm tonight ? and don’t say ‘under the table’
