When we signed Dedryck Boyata, while simultaneously losing loanee Jason Denayer, I heard that bullish comment from Celtic Park “We made Denayer into a regular Belgian international and we’ll do the same for Boyata.”
Teenage Jason Denayer was part of a record-breaking Celtic central defence. Fast and skilful, there was little chance parent club Manchester City would allow him to extend his stay in Scotland. Dedryck was older, had played less football, and City allowed him to leave for £1.5m. The claim that we could make him into a Belgium regular seemed fanciful.
Belgium are the top team in the Fifa rankings. Getting anywhere near this squad is an achievement, but Dedryck is now a regular fixture. When Jason Denayer made a late entrance in the game against Iceland last night, it was captain, Vincent Kompany he replaced, not the Celtic central defender.
Dedryck has only been at Celtic three years and the early months of his time here were memorable for an own goal against Malmo and a very poor performance away to Molde. His transformation is beyond belief.

Always thought about that radio show exert when Regan spoke about ‘Armageddon!”.
Classic.
There was a wild Colonial Bhoy & Kojo was his name.
For anyone fooled by the Grauniad and it`s puff pieces offered up earlier.
Australia.
http://theconversation.com/factcheck-did-1200-refugees-die-at-sea-under-labor-38094
This is the tragic reality :
Verdict
The figure of 1200 deaths of asylum seekers at sea under Labor regularly cited by politicians and the media is broadly correct. The best available data appears to put those estimates at closer to 1100. Globally and in our region, however, more asylum seekers than ever are leaving their country by boat.
Yep.
Time to encourage the people smugglers.
Some asylum seekers and their babies drown , but who cares ?
Certainly not those who seek to encourage this pernicious trade in human lives.

Sorry for not responding as I had went to bed after my post.
Making the most of seeing ma wee Bro, who is now a Vice President @ Barclays in Geneva. Typical of him when I had started to say at the Family do……he was lightning quick to Say to me that my Big Sister Mo is an Actual owner/CEO and whatever else of her wee Hair dressing shop in Dumbarton.
Anyways he is heading back right noo – first flight.
Absolutely delighted that the Celtic lads are rocking. Scottish Celts and Irish Celts – ye cannae have too many of them in yer team.
Brendan is a fantastic Father Figure for the young ones. He takes Time to nurture things to fulfill potential.
God Bless ye TB, you have been through way too much.
Good morning CQN from a dark and cold Garngad
Guys thanks for all your thoughts and prayers re James.
His sister is a colleague (although still off) and when I pass on all the CQN community’s best wish’s, she will be very grateful and humbled as am I. ?
Hail Hail

Scotland goals
Brilliant stuff by Jamesie, who put through the pass for Jamesie’s first goal?
I’m thinking it is too deep for Ryan – but that was a cracking pass – I’m thinking it was he that done it.
Number 8 Pass.
Ryan Xhristie MOTM for me. (GG keyboard?) Learned his lesson well. If they throw the nut in, go down.
This story needs more attention. If true Mcleish should be sacked on the spot.

No 8 was Armstrong.
If that story about McTax cheat or any international manager, getting any player to take a pain killing injection is true, then all clubs should be up in arms.
Whilst I know it’s not uncommon at club level, the club pay their wages, therefor its between them and the players. Remember these injections if not monitored supposidly can cause medical issues in future.
Having said that I have had a good few over the years and it’s not affected my Disco dancing.?

As much as I’m pleased for Jamsie, Ryan and the other Bhoys. We are in danger of keeping a loathsome individual in a job. The DR , of is it just KJ, seem to have it in for him. Some interesting revelations about the whole Scotland set up in the article. Shambles doesnt seem to cover it.

Dilligafbhoy, I agree, he should not be in charge of our national team.
A tax cheat and a cheat
Must dash , work now..

Morning Tims.
If that story about the ginger alkay and Snodgrass is true it doesn’t really surprise me.
Its all about the result not about the man with him.
Well done to Robert Snodgrass for telling him to GTF.
H.H
Anyway been away awe weekend did I miss anything.
D66 thoughts and prayers for young James his family and friends.

Wot you got against Gingers? Or Alcys for that matter?
No, I’m more concerned that a fit KT turned up for International duty and has returned injured without even playing a game!
In ither news……………
Sinister Celtic’s Bad Bhoy Christie Ryan…is a nutter.
Oh aye.

Funnily enough mate the phrase
“ginger alkay “, always makes me picture a “Irn Bru addict ” something I’ve been in days of yore.

morning bhoys, from another very cold Cheshire,,nothing surprises me about McLeish.hh.
The Snodgrass , McLeish , painkillers story is true . I heard him being interviewed on Talksport a week ago saying the same.
Immigrants
Terrible terrible people.
I heard a story about a crowd of immigrants.
Dirty dishevelled starving disease ridden, many couldnt speak English and they practised some weird version of religion involving idolatry.
Anyway they had left their own place because it was ravished by famine and civil unrest. They took most menial jobs, lived in the most deprived slums etc. Some priest formed a football club to raise funds to alleviate their plight.
To me thats the height of irresponsibilty.
Only encouraging more of them to come. Before long they will take over.
Bamboo, If thats the case it would explain the amount of call offs, would you trust the medical team to give you the correct info for any injury that you might pick up.
I’m sure its common knowledge around the football world and players will be advised by their clubs to ” come home ” rather than take advice from the national med team.

Couple of wee problems there , WITS.
In 1888 the Irish who came to Glasgow were not immigrants. They simply moved from one part of the UK to another.
The immigrants who went to Ireland during the plantation actually did take over.
As long as they’re not Ginger.
So Scotland beat Albania and would probably give San Marino a game the dregs of the football World that is our level now. We will play Israel at a half empty Hamdump this week and we may well find that a game to far for our over hyped national team.International football for me no longer holds my interest as it has become boreing mind you to be truthful it is only Celtic who keep me interested in the game I dont know if it is an age thing or not or I have watched the Scottish team being humiliated over many years and with there establishment biased the strutting blue blazered hanger ons with there puffed out chests hoovering up the freebies Scotland and International football is not for me. H.H.
Insane in the membrane…

Grrrr having a mare posting duplicate youtube tunes
CQN been hijacked by “congratulations” pop-ups that don’t go away. Have to open new page and start again. A tad annoying.
The site is farcical now.
It constantly freezes, whether you are typing or just navigating.
It has been this way for weeks and hasn’t improved.
I have tried a variety of pop up blockers via Chrome, but nothing works.
Paul 67 must be making a fortune through as revenue, however it won’t last if people avoid the site unless it improves.

It’s laughable at how bad the site has become now to sroll on.

As the Internationals are still on ( and CQN becomes a duller place ) here is a lighter snippet.
Old Tim has discovered the elixir of life.
I swear he looks younger now than when I met him eleven years ago.
His blog name is no longer accurate.
Let me make it clear I arrived at that opinion very early on at the Hoot and long before alcohol made everyone look handsome and sound intelligent. (Just imagine how much would have to be consumed at a Hun Hoot before either of those attributes would be made possible.) .
