Blackett, Christie and our biggest spend in 14 years

846

Tyler Blackett’s arrival, announced moments before halftime on Saturday, was welcome. He’ll immediately push Izzie, who has had no real competition for the left back berth since arriving at Celtic five years ago – an incredible situation.

The Ryan Christie situation surprised me. Ryan performed well against a Celtic defence in a state of flux earlier this month, as he has done previously against us, but it will certainly a curious signing (this morning Inverness Caledonian Thistle announced they have accepted a bid from Celtic).  More on these two later.

As for rumours that we’re about to spend more money on a player than we have since John Hartson arrived 14 years ago……. Well, that is a change of pace. On top of this business, I’m sure there will be more comings and goings in defence, and elsewhere.  Stay tuned……..

Thanks to everyone who entered the raffle for the Golf Day for four at Aberdour.  Taggsy informed the winner (Gerry) by email this morning.

  1. F.A.B. Virgil (WATRC) on

    Mr Pasrty is an anagram of Pat Mssry so……… exposed! You are Kathy Bates!

     

     

    I have only 1 log-in but I may need to change it shortly in order to keep Pete’s bonus on track…

  2. Pumphybhoy: Broonie does my head in sometimes with his wayward passing but his contribution to the team becomes obvious when he is not playing. On Saturday Celtic were dominant and at 3-1 up most of us expected us to coast to full time. Broonie gets injured, is subbed and suddenly we lose our composure.

     

     

    He is getting older so we should be thinking of a long term replacement for him.

  3. Wooft…Gravy train has just ground to a halt for Derk.

     

    He will be beelin.

     

    Bye Derk.

    embramike says “the Huns are Deid”

     

     

    A P45 and SSP1 form will be enough

     

     

    Love

    CRC and I hope to get the next Last Man Standing competition up and running very soon. I spoke to CRC on Saturday and we were thinking of the weekend after next but might now be delayed 1 more week. There’ll be plenty of plugs for it once we know what we’re doing.

  6. paying him aff, actaully makes me sick.

     

     

    now that is a real waste of money, and someone should be held accountable.

  7. Pumphybhoy

     

    No loyalty no matter who it is

     

    If they are not contributing to the progress of the team/club then oot

  8. Come on Mr Pastry, rise to the occasion.

     

    How many multiple log in names do you have?

  9. That’s good news at least…the man with the glass ankles and brylcreem quiff has been terminated.

     

    He will now need to pretend he is a football player….might find it difficult.

     

    Thanks Derk.

     

    Bon Voyage.

    Let’s hope and pray the new team go the same way as the old. Cheerleading MSM could ensure that happens

    THE GREEN MAN. Derk holds all the aces as he cant be forced to leave he can stay and see out his contract.You can bet if Celtic pay him off it will have to suit Derk and it wont be cheap. H.H.

  12. I mean you would have thought that Derk’s nick-name ” Sick-note”, would have provoked second thoughts:)

  13. Scepovic was never given a chance.. a good footballer who made good runs but never got a pass… If he had been given a few games alongside stokes or Griff he would have scored loads.. Why buy him in the first place? Who bought him? Not RD obviously.. W e MUST have another striker coming in tomorrow or we will struggle to win the league.. we need goalscorers not just the one (Griff)

  14. CORKCELT on 31ST AUGUST 2015 6:45 PM

     

    Christie and Simunovic all but over the line. Michu, Fletcher and one left field in the mix to be our new Striker.

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

  15. JFH

     

     

    Joe…its a joke….that chancer should be paying Celtic.

     

    Trade Descriptions Act at the very least.

     

    What a brass neck he must have.

  16. Can I point it for the avoidance of doubt that there is only ONE Auldheid and that BRTH and I have been seen in the same pub at the same time.

     

     

    Apart from the visible evidence, the audio changes significantly from mono to stereo with few discernible pauses for breath because of breath synchronisation.

  17. Captain Beefheart on

    Good news we are going to get a striker but Fletcher on loan? Good Lord. Ronny’s choice?

  18. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    MARADOMINIC. Ronny and John watched Scepovic at training everyday I think if he had anything about him they would have spotted it.The fact Ronny is letting him go suggests he saw nothing from the player. H.H.

  19. Gerryfaethebrig on

    Cheers Jobo

     

     

    Gearoid1998 I am pretty sure they will, the vultures have still not finished with the carcass, by the way Charlie & the Bhoys will be delighted with the Warbmeister being touted with the Struth guy, it keeps the cash flowing into off shore accounts (allegedly), it’s my ideal scenario they are not buying Ashley’s goods, the less of those tops I see old or new the better

  20. ps by a striker I mwean one who scores goals,.,Not FLETCHER! and not a loanee…what is the point…if he scores he leaves!

  21. CAPTAIN BEEFHEART

     

     

    I would rather Celtic put Hoopy up front rather than Stephen Fletcher….the bold Hoopy would probably score more,..and its unlikely that we could coax Fletcher out of his big,mega, flash motor.

    BarcaMole …

     

     

    cheers, pal.

     

    just looked that up… spectacular!!!!! You are fortunate to look out at that every day!

     

    My dive club does a trip down to the Phillpines about every two years … have heard great things about the country, people, diving ….

     

    one of these days!

     

    …………………………………………………………………..

     

     

    Mike,

     

     

    I appreciate my good fortune every day in so many ways.

     

     

    No problem.

     

    I should be in my kip by now but looking forward to my (potentially) last (planned) trip back to Glasgow, so checking mail etc.,…….. Will be in great company for sure, through September/October.

     

     

    Anyway, should it pan out for you to visit this part of the world, let me know eh, and we can arrange whatever needs arranging.

     

    Would be good, I am sure!

     

    Always welcome.

     

    Not a dive person myself but understand the attraction. It is massively popular here with people from all ‘corners’ of the globe, and not just for the whale sharking observation. Coral, sea-life, and underwater photographs and all that are a major incentive it seems. Some of the ‘pics’ are amazing.

     

     

    Good Luck and God Bless.

     

     

    Regards & Hail Hail

    Not much of an assessment panel there ?

  24. If Boerrigter is away I hope he takes the guy who watched him with him, this is up there with Graveson and Juarez in costing Celtic fortunes,but at least Graveson scored at snake mountain

  25. So posters are railing against the idea of signing Stephen Fletcher?

     

     

    That same Stephen Fletcher that we didn’t sign from Hibs?

     

     

    The one that would gave made all the difference to us?

     

     

    The one that Peter Lawell is still getting a kicking for?

     

     

    Because he DIDN’T sign him..,,?????

     

     

    And we want a dans group running the club…….?????

     

     

    My fault. Coming on here sober.., :)

  26. SS-the losses on Pukki,Scepovic and Boeriggter, should result in Park getting his Harry Potters.Criminal waste on guys who were nowhere near holding down a jersey.

  27. CAPTAIN BEEFHEART

     

     

    Its a pity that the transfers don’t include Mascots and CEO’s….Just think…Hoopy and Kingsley would be a cracking front two….and we could sell Peter Lawell to Arsenal:)

     

    Works for me.

  28. Bada

     

    Can you add Amido Balde ( in place of Russell)

     

    And Mo Bangura ( in place of the guy Lenny was watching in Portugal )

     

    I could go on

     

    And

     

    On

     

    And

     

    On :-)
