I know Ronny Deila was delighted Dedryck Boyata pitched up at Glasgow Airport last night. He’s a player the manager has known about for some time and one who was not on the Man City available list when we secured the loan deal for Jason Denayer a year ago.
The mechanics of the deal are interesting. It’s quite possible it wouldn’t have happened at all without the success Jason enjoyed in Glasgow. A year ago Jason was a complete unknown, below the pecking order than Dedryck, but we gave him a platform and now he’s a full Belgian international. The pitch we put to Dedryck was along the lines of “Look what Jason achieved here”. If we’d singed Dedryck instead of Jason a year ago, Jason would still be an unknown and Dedryck would be a Belgian international.
Assuming no late hiccups, Ronny will know his central defensive pairing for the Champions League qualifiers is sorted, allowing him to concentrate on other areas.
There are no guarantees in football, least of all with Champions League qualification, where we have three awkward knock-out rounds, but we’re starting the summer from a good place.
There’s so much to discuss about yesterdays’ Fir Park hilarity, the consequences of which will be profound. More on this later in the week, but a few points on Motherwell. For a team with such glaring shortcomings they deserved the scale of their victory. Barraclough took a squad who finished 11th in the league into two challenging games and out-thought his opponent.
However, if Celtic fans behaved the way Motherwell fans behaved yesterday your Government would be all over it by now. I’ve seen flares thrown onto pitches, I’ve seen pitch invasions (although I don’t remember seeing one congregating in front of opposition fans), but I’ve never seen a player smacked in the face and leg by a spectator’s flag, and I’ve never seen anything close to this entire repertoire from fans at a single game.
Who knows what the score would have been had Newco faced the team who finished 10th in the Premiership! Their attempt to emulate Grenta in winning three successive promotions always sounded like a tall order. They came close, but they’re no Gretna. Not. Nearly. As. Good.

In my opinion the behaviour of the Motherwell supporters at yesterday’s game needs to be addressed.
==============================
I agree,we have been fined for flares,this is the first horses on Park for some time, they invaded the Park and approached opposition fans in ” an aggressive provocative manner ”
Having had Camera’s pointed in my general direction at every away ground ,plus my journey interrupted for searches ,also had my person searched ,all to avoid POTENTIAL trouble,here we have ACTUAL trouble so lets get the rule book out.
ACGR…
Nope,Tom said your patter was pish;))

How did the Bakewell Tarts with the cherry on top go down at work today?
HH!!

Brilliant!!

Completely agree. Thankfully the allocation for RIFC was drastically reduced and most of those who were there had already left.
Motherwell should be hammered for the pitch invasion by their fans.

Hello Sannabhoy,
That’s strange – I sent an e-mail at 17:30 from my Yahoo address.
I’ve been having a look at your website, so should I just send a donation via PayPal?
Cheers,
Eddie

According to Google this guy is on £78,000 a week. Take that with a pinch of salt but for a back up to a bench warmer, the EPL is mad
Bada Bing –
Just home and saw your comment earlier. Thank you for your apology which I am delighted to accept. No hard feelings.
Thanks also to the handful of CQNers who supported me today. Very much appreciated.
However, having taken in the general demeanour of the rest of the blog today, I have no intention of coming back, so carry on with the piss-taking.
I just felt it would be the right thing for me to come on and acknowledge Bada Bing’s apology.
Goodbye.
Ffs…brollygate on Clyde….hahahahah, plagerised from 67.
Póg – effin hilarious

Is just one character too long to order on the back of my strip.
Celtic, my once laden virtual basket has flounced.
Tom…
Get a grip, we’ve all had run ins on here…FFS…I didn’t even get asked if I was a hun, I got are you a klanky:((
I’ve met and had a beer with Bada and Bobby, believe me, you would get on like a house on fire with them.
No flouncing allowed, ding ding :))
Hamiltontim. Might have been true when he was the Well manager but the deal would be off when he left the club or it could be seen as bribery. H.H.
Oi, Tom. Back. Now!

HT…
It’s a know show on here.
Or even no show :(
Gordon Smith is an arse.
If someone can get done for singing a song in a stadium while a blind eye is turned to common assault perpetrated by a player – after the game is over – then the OBAF act is yet again highlighted as nonsense.
Tell me this – if any one of us at home was “offended” by Mohsni’s actions – do we have a right of complaint?
Tom, I’d like to see you back too.

There was nothing on that link. What was it?
Sipsini. I wasnt asked if I was a hun either!
‘The players were rank rotten’ – you heard it on snyde

I imagine you’re correct but it’s certainly worth highlighting to those of a hurting disposition :-)
