Jason Denayer played his first senior football during his 2014-15 loan season at Celtic. Before that season ended, he was a full Belgian international. We tried to retain him, but parent club Manchester City wanted him to go elsewhere.
There followed a season at Galatasaray, then Sunderland (where he played central defence, full back and central mid), before going back to Galatasaray on loan last season. His last appearance for Belgium was in the quarter finals of Euro 2016, a defeat to Wales.
While City would not loan Jason in 2015 they sold us Dedryck Boyata instead. Dedryck made a 45-minute cameo appearance for Belgium as a teenager in 2010 but didn’t play for his country again until near the end of his first season at Celtic. Belgium were preparing for Euro 2016 at the time but decided against his selection.
While Jason drifted out of the national team picture as he dodged around Europe on an enormous wage from Manchester City, Dedryck is in Russia. He has earned less money than Jason since leaving Manchester City, but his achievements are far greater.
These things matter at this time of the year. Brendan Rodgers and Peter Lawwell will speak to players and agents and will relay this narrative. Come to Celtic, become a better player, win things, and gain international recognition.
Jason has two years left on his Manchester City contract, when he will be 24, but he needs to find another Celtic to put some wind beneath his wings, if he is to make it to the top.

Aye Sir Rod singing a reb tune in front of a back ground featuring ‘The Proclamation’. Aye the very same Sir Rod who will be flying out to perform in Tel Aviv in June. May one suggest utter rank hypocrisy from SIR Rod.

Raymond James Houghton.
Such a footballer he was.HH.
—————
Played in the same school team as him for St Julies. (Castlemilk)
His family moved to England when he was eleven.
Even at a young age he was miles ahead of everyone.

I do hope that your colleague got cool water in time and that his delirium has subsided.
I know she is not a weather girl per se, but Theresa Talbot who does the travel news on Radio Shortbread said that her nightmare blooper for reporting live was when she had to report travel problems at the Clint Cut-Off.

I saw John McGinn playing school football at 10 year old. At that age he was miles ahead of his peers. Still is.
You were missed in Belfast. Great weekend J.

Thanks for everything J. You are the perfect host. Sunday in The Rock was magic. My son Ryan had to google Bik McFarlane. He is now well impressed with my photo with Brendan. Caltontongs and I met Brendan Rodgers on our flight on Monday. Love him more now. Gentleman. Belfast is more Green and White now, than at any time I have visited there in forty odd years. Was great to see.

Columbia and Morelos, What, what? por cierto
DD,
Passed the Dalmuir road en this morning on my way to a meeting in Old Kilpatrick.
Thought of you as I passed!
Now back home in Dingwall after driving home the Fort William route.
Por Cierto
Columbia is not a country and Morelos is not a fitba player.
They are a pair of failed rockets. ??
Alasdair …
didn’t realize you were in dingwall … I have family in garve …. we’re practically neighbours (except, of course, for the Toronto bit)
Alasdair
I drove the scenic route to Dingwall fae Dalmuir for our game last season. A82 is better than A9 every time for me. Glad Marcus re signed for RC. Hope Ketts gets replaced though.

Hitting the sack now…been a busy 6 days. Will look back in the morn.
Cheers all.
PS Glad to hear the Belfast weekend went well. Had a weekend there…Easter weekend it was! Me, my wife, my daughter and her mate are all fans now.
Alasdair … have some in-laws who have been there for ages … Menzies family …. nice people up there. probably been 15-20 years since I was in Garve
Alasdair
You are a sociable person, so is your wife. Was great meeting you both. Of course you would love sociable folk like the Glasgow and Belfast Brigades.

I’ve said this on several occasions.
Dingwall is the friendliest away venue to visit, by a long way, for Celtic fans, in my opinion.

Do they pronounce it Mingus or Menzies.
I have two friends from Inverness and Ullapool. Both called Menzies. The Snecky pal assures me his name is pronounced Mingus. The Ullapool Bhoy is a Menzies pronounced.
Weird heelanders but two great Tims.

That was his first name, though.

The County Bar Ross County unofficial supporters club, is the friendliest pub in the Highlands. The Manager and his wife are the fastest servers and friendliest publicans I have met. When I was up last year, they both remembered my name from 9 months previous. Sadly, I forget their names.
Lovely Highland couple who prefer us to the Huns visiting. They get bouncers for Hun games. They know Celtic self police.

Michael Jackson’s song Man in the Mirror was dedicated to a wee Japanese boy called Yoshiaki Ogiwara, who was kidnapped and held for ransom before being murdered. He was 5 years old.
Jackson was touring Japan at the same time & was deeply affected by it.
These high school kids from North Brunswick High School, near Wilmington, North Carolina graduated on Saturday morning and did this at the end of their graduation ceremony.
https://www.charlotteobserver.com/latest-news/article212945934.html
Their principal came up to the podium after the flash mob had finished and explained to the family and friends in the crowd, what that song meant to the students at the school.
“To the crowd, this is what this song means to us:” the principal said. “This year has been really traumatic and after every event in the country, we would play that through our speaker and we would promise to each other that that wouldn’t happen at North.”

Why don’t the ones who pronounce it Mingus , spell it Mingus? Like Charlie Mingus?
This link should work.
