Calm it, Moussa

417

I’m now at the stage when I’m hoping people stop noticing Moussa Dembele. Last night’s two goals for France Unider-21s against their England counterparts further established the player’s reputation. He’s going to be on shopping list of every team with north of £20m to spend.

Great, if you’re struggling to buy out a valued retail partner, not so useful if you’re solvent and aspiring to build a Champions League reputation.

At a conference this week so will miss the AGM tomorrow.

    Hangover Ratings

     

     

    1 star hangover

     

    No pain. no real feeling of illness. You slept in your own bed and when you woke up there were no traffic cones in there with you.

     

     

    You are still able to function relatively well on the energy stored up from all those vodka and Red Bulls.

     

     

    However, you can drink 10 bottles of water and still feel as parched as the Sahara.

     

     

    Even vegetarians are craving a Cheeseburger and a bag of fries.

     

     

    2 star hangover

     

    No pain, but something is definitely amiss. You may look okay but you have the attention span and mental capacity of a stapler.

     

     

    The coffee you hug to try and remain focused is only exacerbating your rumbling gut, which is craving a full English breakfast.

     

     

    Although you have a nice demeanour about the office, you are costing your employer valuable money because all you really can handle is some light filing, followed by aimlessly surfing the net and writing junk e-mails.

     

     

    3 star hangover

     

    Slight headache. Stomach feels crap. You are definitely a space cadet and not so productive.

     

     

    Anytime a girl or lad walks by you gag because the perfume/aftershave reminds you of the random gin shots you did with your alcoholic friends after the bouncer kicked you out at 1:45 am.

     

     

    Life would be better right now if you were in your bed with a dozen doughnuts and a litre of coke watching daytime TV.

     

     

    You’ve had 4 cups of coffee, a gallon of water, 2 Sausage Rolls and a litre of diet coke yet you haven’t peed once.

     

     

    4 star hangover

     

    You have lost the will to live. Your head is throbbing and you can’t speak too quickly or else you might spew.

     

     

    Your boss has already lambasted you for being late and has given you a lecture for reeking of booze.

     

     

    You wore nice clothes, but you smell of socks, and you can’t hide the fact that you (depending on your gender) either missed an oh-so crucial spot shaving, or, it looks like you put your make-up on while riding the dodgems.

     

     

    Your teeth have their own individual sweaters. Your eyes look like one big vein and your hairstyle makes you look like a reject from a second-grade class circa 1976.

     

     

    You would give a weeks pay for one of the following – home time, a doughnut and somewhere to be alone, or a Time Machine so you could go back and NOT have gone out the night before.

     

     

    You scare small children in the street just by walking past them.

     

     

    5 star hangover

     

    You have a second heartbeat in your head, which is actually annoying the employee who sits next to you.

     

     

    Vodka vapour is seeping out of every pore and making you dizzy.

     

     

    You still have toothpaste crust in the corners of your mouth from brushing your teeth.

     

     

    Your body has lost the ability to generate saliva, so your tongue is suffocating you.

     

     

    You’d cry but that would take the last drop of moisture left in your body.

     

     

    Death seems pretty good right now. Your boss doesn’t even get mad at you and your co-workers think that your dog just died because you look so pathetic. You should have called in sick because, let’s face it, all you can manage to do is breathe ….. very gently.

     

     

    6 star hangover

     

    You arrive home and climb into bed.

     

     

    Sleep comes instantly, as you were fighting it all the way home in the taxi.

     

     

    You get about 2 hours sleep until the noises inside your head wake you up.

     

     

    You notice that your bed has been cleared for take off and is flying relentlessly around the room.

     

     

    No matter what you do you now, you’re going to chuck.

     

     

    You stumble out of bed and now find that your room is in a yacht under full sail.

     

     

    After walking along the skirting boards on alternating walls knocking off all the pictures, you find the toilet.

     

     

    If you are lucky you will remember to lift the lid before you spontaneously explode and wake the whole house up with your impersonation of walrus mating calls.

     

     

    You sit there on the floor in your undies, cuddling the only friend in the world you have left (the toilet), randomly continuing to make the walrus noises, spitting, and farting. Help usually comes at this stage, even if it is short lived.

     

     

    Tears stream down your face and your abdomen hurts. Help now turns into abuse and he/she usually goes back to bed leaving you there in the dark.

     

     

    With your stomach totally empty, your spontaneous eruptions have died back to 15-minute intervals, but your body won’t relent.

     

     

    You are convinced that you are starting to turn yourself inside out and swear that you saw your tonsils shoot out of your mouth on the last occasion.

     

     

    It is now dawn and you pass your disgusted partner getting up for the day as you try to climb into bed. She/he abuses you again for trying to get into bed with lumpy bits of dried vomit in your hair.

     

     

    You reluctantly accept their advice and have a shower in exchange for them driving you to the hospital.

     

     

    Work is simply not an option.

     

     

    The whole day is spent trying to avoid anything that might make you sick again, like moving.

     

     

    You vow never to touch a drop again and who knows for the next two or three hours at least you might even succeed.

    CCE, over the course of several years on this blog I don’t think I have ever had a cross word with anyone as it is just not my style.

     

     

    I may express a point of view, disagree with others points of view and argue my corner in any oul debate but having rows or arguments etc is just not me.

     

     

    I became aware over the summer while I was in Italy that Kil Ultra had various concerns some of which surrounded yours truly and so I merely invited the man to drop me a line, give me the detail of what was vexing him and I would answer as honestly as I can.

     

     

    That remains the position and what I wanted to ascertain was if he had attempted e-mailing me without getting a reply as that would have been poor form and would have defeated the purpose of my earlier offer.

     

     

    Others recently mentioned they had sent me an e-mail which I hadn’t replied to, and having looked into the matter I have gotten to the bottom of that.

     

     

    Kil Ultra is no different.

     

     

    As far as I know KU is a shareholder and was an original supporter of Res 12 and so deserves to have any questions answered in so far as they are reasonable etc.

     

     

    Besides I will chat to anyone who will buy me a pint!

    been there bought the t shirt and wore it out.when you doing no ten or have you not had the pleasure.

  4. You know that way when you have the 6 Star Hangover and you are making the “walrus mating calls” and you momentarily think that if the erruption doesn’t stop soon you might actually suffocate?

     

     

    That’s the worst.

     

     

    Not that I’d know…

  5. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    Anyone else think that the board has changed tact and would love us to become entirely ignorant of the machinations of any PLC especially ours.

     

     

    Our downfall. Yes our downfall –not there´s !!!! was when we started to even care about “Amortisation” oh how they wish they had not bothered with that little acorn.

     

     

    Any further prevarication from the PLC tomorrow and then it becomes official that we are part of the Old Firm. The Old Firm being and in order of importance;

     

     

    Rangers, +The SFA, + Celtic = Scottish football

     

     

    Where

     

    Rangers > The SFA > Celtic

     

     

    Only those with “learning disabilities/ or bus loads of faith” will be unable to; see, fathom, accept, swallow, comprehend, BELIEVE etc. that to be the case. Which is fine by me. I moved on a long time ago and I wish all of you nothing but spectacular joy and success while watching Celtic. I cherry pick my games now …I have for a long time.

     

     

    The Resolution 12 process has been a very illuminating period in our history. To everyone involved you are my Celtic hero’s … really … AND ALWAYS WILL BE

     

     

    To those in the same boat as myself you need to let it all go.

     

     

    All = Those that cannot discern for themselves that it is wrestling

     

    Those that are willing to accept that it is wresting but still want to go for the entertainments sake

     

    That Glasgow Celtic is anything more than a neo liberal minded PLC

     

    on and on and on

     

     

    Buy the Record, Pay the BBC, Go To mass every Sunday, attend Old Firm games, feel good about being a winner in Scotland …. kid yourself on that it is all being done fairly and that the Old Firm are nothing special and that you are not part of the Old Firm.

     

     

    Just don´t talk to me about it OK :-) :-)

     

     

     

    Lots of Lurve

  6. Don’t know what you are all worried about, but when Moussa leaves for Real Madrid in three years time for £100 million his namesake wee Karamoko will be ready to step into his boots.

     

     

    By that time he will have stretched another foot in height and put on three stone in weight.

     

     

    Moussa who?!

     

     

    Karamoko Dembele – the first £200 million player!

     

     

    HH!!

  7. Some prices some folk are sticking on Moussa when he is eventually sold, 20/30/40 Million !!!

     

     

    It’ll go the same way as Wanyama, once Mr Lawwell is captured by the SMSM he wont be able to hold his tongue (just like Wanyama) he virtually told the prospective buying clubs the price !!!!

     

     

    Sommit like if it’s offers over the 10M it’ll be hard to hold on to him blah blah blah.

     

     

    He gave the buying clubs the figure to start at ……………………………he’s no that clever IMHO.

  8. BURGAS HOOPS on 15TH NOVEMBER 2016 4:45 PM

     

     

    Aaaahh so Celtic sign a really good player but you find a way to have a go at Lawwell

     

     

    Creative.

    Hope for a good response for emails to Club Secretary calling for statement at AGM re 2013 Res12. We can but hope – and better to do something to support the heroic efforts of our Requisitioners and those involved- than bump our gums (IMO)

     

    Gotta go now if I am going to be able to attend AGM. Hate to think that our club would hang out the Res12 bhoys to dry but those attending have an opportunity to speak out. HH

    Think additional tix for final may be returns from SPFL/sponsors/corporates etc within traditional Celtic fan areas of ‘the dump’.

     

    If you read the www it says availability is in east stand , north stand (section D). This is the usual Celtic section in the north stand.

     

    What time is the big strong man CSC departing thrums on match day.

    Sadly, I think all the gateaux puns today are setting us up for PL to do his best Marie Antoinette impression tomorrow ….

    Draft Res 12 statement being adjusted.

     

     

    The battle with the SFA for better governance and greater clarity goes on.

    A seemingly apt line for the AGM ….

  14. AN TEACH SOLAIS.1.52

     

    I’m in favour of an EGM etc etc, should Celtic not progress res 12.

     

    I have no wish to ” jump the gun” on this but has anyone researched any possible LEGAL precedent whereby shareholders have been left with no option to take legal action ?

     

    Again I stress, hopefully it doesn’t come to that, but Celtic must take the res Bhoys lead and follow this up all the way.

    I e-mailed JPT when Auldheid initially asked for shareholders to do so, I hope JPT has passed this to The Company Secretary, do you have any way of finding this out?
