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.

Fairhill Bhoy.
I’ve had a good time, thanks.
I’m very grateful.
Have you contacted Celtic for relocation, hopefully, given the circumstances they will go out their way to accommodate you both.
I think it’s magic that he drags you to the game. :-)
Hail Hail

Tori does a great version of ‘Creep’ by Radiohead. Unfortunately, the version i found on Youtube is ruined by the moronic “woo-hoo’ing” of the American audience.
Somtimes I can almost understand why they want to be able to carry guns.
!!BADA BING!!-thank you
JIMMYNOTPAUL.cheers pal. ?
I was supposed to be starting a 5 week fraud trial on Monday, but it has settled, so I can party all night now.
Where’s RC when you need him?
Bateen
Tori destroyed Creep..
Only Thom Yorke can sing it.
It is such a personal Thom Yorke song.
Bit like the horrendous cover versions of Under the Bridge Red Hot Chilli Peppers or Salisbury Hill Peter Gabriel.
Canny cover a song that is an autobiography.
YNWA
Another cover version, with an obvious link to the last one

Stop Whispering … best song by Radiohead … great song!

Celtic Killie 21 days away.
Was in the Ticket Office today to pick up tickets for Mrs Emeraldbee and my two football-daft grand daughters for their first ever visit to Paradise v. Killie. Cannae wait!
Delaneys,
Never really had much time for Radiohead, but I do like the song, and the original version.
Not a big fan of cover songs, but there are some crackers out there.
BATEEN BHOY
Keep it quiet as people in Scotland will be justifyng gun permits to deal with Sydney Devine after his sold out 2017 tour.
I worked with Tori on a few videos and album covers in the eighties and she is a fun girl.
The RHCP’s.
Hey Oh
From a cracking double album – Stadium Arcadium. Especially the first CD – as usual.
MIT
Did someone persuade you to plead ‘guilty’ then ?
my perfect cousin – gotta be a perfect video
DD,
I must say I’ve got a few Radiohead tunes on my olde playlist noo, and never seem to skip them.
Thats a good sign.
Bateen
I heard you were up for jury duty, and afraid that I might be sentenced to be hanged!
:)
Fan-a-tic,
You’re a lucky bhoy then.
There’s something about redheads that makes me shiver sometimes ?

Who would win in a fight between Alex McLeish and Theresa May?
——————–
Without a doubt, Theresa May. I am amazed at her tenacity and endurance. I may not like or agree with her policies but I have now got a grudging admiration for her. Considering she’s a type 1 diabetic it also demonstrates that this condition can be beaten in public life.
The world class Danny McGrain demonstrated that it can be beaten on the playing field.
