  1. “amazingly dirty photos”

     

     

    Certainly an ambitious claim.

     

     

    I mean, this is the internet.

     

     

    Just how dirty does a photo have to be these days to be amazingly dirty?

     

     

    I can’t help thinking I would be more disappointed than affronted by clicking that particular link.

    Turkrybhoy,

     

     

    I hope that you are right about Jozo Šimunović. I suppose a positive might be that he has spent 9 weeks in Belgrade and not Zagreb, according to your post.

     

     

    Jozo is apparently managed by Sam Stapleton of Star Management Signings, a London based company with contacts in Eastern Europe.

    He was signed from Dinamo Zagreb and that is a concern. The Executive Director there was Zdravko Mamic. He’s now an ‘advisor’.

     

    Whoever believed that it was a good idea to get Celtic involved with him?

     

    Mamic was arrested in November 2015 enquiries continue.

     

     

    This is an interesting read;

    I never saw game yesterday and was catching up on comments here when I realised that Celtictv had the game on delay.

     

     

    Watched it but not as impressed as some here. Thought Wolfs were at half-pace for long periods of the game and when we managed to look our best, they were just struggling for match sharpness. We play them later in the season and we are watching from behind the couch.

     

     

    I normally look for the positives in each performance particularly when we have a new manager:

     

     

    * some great pressing at front put them under pressure and mistakes made by them created some openings.

     

    * i though jamesy forrest made some good forward progress – but cannot cross a ball with left and hardly ever accurate with right. The guy appears to be trying to shoot with a marshmallow instead of a football. He has not improved enough which is a pity because there is some great talent in there. Somewhere!

     

    * Callum is one of those bhoys who makes things happen in games – more impressesd each time I see him.

     

    * Kieran looked as if someone had let go the reins- thankfully

     

    * We lack enough leaders on the park, but I see something of that in Erik and Kieran

     

    * Armstrong in the right role can be a star

     

    * Ajer could sit in front of back four but is not fully fledged and until he is, will be prey to the thugs in SPL.

     

    * like the potential in Ryan & Liam

     

    *I’m thinking Patrick just doesn’t like friendly matches- see that as a wee positive!

     

     

    We need to get hold if 3 leaders in the middle of the park CH DM AM – jig time!!

    For not been too impressed (as some) that’s plenty of positives :-)

    Barney – fair point buddy

    Usually watch these matches and think damn the opposition are way above us skill level but with Wolfsburg I never got that feeling. Sure they are behind us in fitness but there was no one out there that I thought, wish we had him in out team.

    Sky golf is rubbish…come back bbc all is forgiven…

     

     

    BTW…who are all the vegetarians calling out “Beef”?

     

     

    Turkeybhoy…when are you going to calm down. You will give yourself an ulcer?

    Cheers,bud. Just found a great guy to borrow money from in the comments on that piece.

     

     

    Of course,I’m not some lass from Singapore with three kids,but the marvellous fella lent her $250k. Magic!

  8. Great climax to the golf with two nice guys battling it out

     

     

    Gripping test match at Lords. 30 or so runs and no wickets in 90 minutes since tea yet it is compelling sporting viewing.

     

     

    Passing the time until the big one between Celtic and the Red Imps.

    Winning Captains

     

     

    Comments by some about behaviour on blog ( Corkcelt made a heartfelt plea etc) a few others are saying enough is enough etc.

     

     

    I’ve always preferred the one thread model here. Unlike the KDS model with dozens on the go at any one time.

     

     

    However

     

     

    Listening to the moans and groans now perhaps it is time to consider operating 3 ( or 4) live threads?:

     

     

    #1 As currant with Paul67 leader and all the replies on matters fitba, the recent match, ad hoc thoughts, family events, meetings, music, speculation and general chit chat and anything Newco!!

     

     

    #2 Resolution 12 ( we know that is a very narrow remit) plus anything related to the oldco cheating and Uefa rankings – forthcoming court cases.

     

     

    #3 politics, general bawbaggery and skwerr goes- it could be subtitled Ernie’s Corner

     

     

    The headings may need work! ;-)

     

     

    I expect there will be some crossover in themes and it would be incumbent on regular posters to … Ahem ….recommend, that a topic of conversation has reached the stage that it now belongs in #2 or #3.

    Aye mate, no working for me now at all ?

     

     

    Not a big problem but i’d rather pay a subscription than see all this crap.

  11. Dubaibhoy-Ur they still deid? on

    Off topic perhaps…

     

     

    When was the last time we had a Celtic fan called Henrik leading the Open with 4 holes to play???

     

     

    It’s a sign!!!

     

     

    I’m telling you…

  12. saltires en sevilla on

    Gerry – likeisay try to be positive :-)

     

     

    The Huddle – defo agree not many individuals but looked to me they were playing like a team and to a system they all understood

    Hopefully this Wednesday will make us all forget last Tuesday….. If/when we get through Astana is going to be a bit of a worry….

     

     

    Enjoy the golf……a wee play off would fill a Sunday evening

    Strange. Are you using a PC/laptop? If so tried Chrome, even Internet Explorer (assuming you are using FireFox at the moment)

  15. Saint Stivs says SACK THE BOARD on

    we should start a new thread about how many threads will work on the blog.

     

     

    and another about adblocker.

    My nephew was at a Beerfest yesterday in Gateshead. My memories of my days in that part of the world are that every Saturday is a Beerfest,but I told him to look out for your “stall” and to try the gin if available.

     

     

    Good deal-£20 to get in,refunded in beer tokens.

     

     

    Were you and your team in attendance?

    The multi-thread idea would only work if people used it properly.

     

     

    For instance,the naps competition. All entrants know where to go,and post accordingly.

     

     

    But…

     

     

    Post on a thread which is not pressing buttons because people aren’t interested and that post will appear on the main thread in no time.

     

     

    As DBBIA would say-makes sense to me,and it makes sense to Mo(hope she’s smashing,btw!)

  20. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    Fantastic putt from Stenson.

     

     

    Edge of the green. Dead weight. Dead centre.

  21. Great sporting events coming to a close? The test match has been excellent and the golf, yes I will admit , is looking like a shoot out. Well done, pity that are both on Sky and thousands are denied the pleasure of watching .

    Should you not be hunting high and low for your birthday present?

  23. BMCUW

     

     

    Sorry no we weren’t there unfortunately.

     

     

    A lot planned for next few weeks mind you !

     

     

    Including some good stuff at CFC.

    BMCUW

     

     

    Very good points – was thinking along the lines of developing themes in the main thread #1 sometimes get a bit too tasty for some ( or downright nasty)

     

     

    It’s at that point the antagonists ..sorry protagonists! Are politely directed to a more appropriate thread. An opportunity to continue the debate and dive a bit deeper or simply cool doon!

     

     

    just a sense the blog is corkscrewing down into a sad place to visit!

    Gene….. Shoosh

     

     

    Bobby… Wee yin has already asked if she can give me a clue…..

     

     

    1st clue….. “It’s out of a shop up the street”

     

     

    No more clues needed, the Celtic Shop is where she gets my top every birthday, last year £53 for the home top, am getting too old for fitba tops but it’s an annual birthday present from her for Santa Ponsa in 10 days time……she would be more gutted if she didn’t get it for me…
