I suspect we have not seen the best of Daryl Murphy, who has proven to be a solid Championship and fleeting Premier League player in England but has been unable to retain a place in the SPL, but his hamstring injury, suffered after the long flight to Pennsylvania, will be a blow on two levels for Celtic. They are denied a squad player for the crucial Champions League play-off round against Helsingborgs and are likely to unable to loan him out, easing more pressure from payroll.
Daryl was singled out for credit (here) for the way he changed the shape of Celtic in our opening league game of the season against Aberdeen. He would have been useful to Neil Lennon this coming week.
News that Helsingborgs have lost their top striker is welcome but is not quite ‘like signing a new player’ for Celtic. Let’s hope they haven’t lost their Kenny Miller only to find their Jordan Rhodes.
There can seldom have been more financially important games to the club than the Helsingborgs tie. Celtic accounts are usually released mid-August (16th last year) but I don’t anticipate any rush to publish this year. Last season’s accounts could well see the largest loss in our history as the club chased their first league win in four years (insert standard lecture on financial responsibility program, avoid urge to run legacy Sir David Murray malware).
I expect the figures to show Celtic are operating with a Champions League budget (and that’s without evading tax). Football finance lessons are clear, if you have a Champions League budget you need Champions League income. Time for this team to step up to the challenge. Get along and pack the place out on the 29th.
No regrets this time.
Bed early tonight if you are off to Dingwall in the morning. I hope we see a few of the young lads.

This man, one of the richest rock stars in the world, found himself distressed when his student son was arrested at the student demonstrations in London last year. Another odd case of inappropriate treatment.
Its always interesting watching how those with some sway, when they stand up against the system, are quickly put in their place.

Excellent point.
One thing I’ve learned from following CQN in recent years, is to highlight when the rulers abuse their own rules.
And Ecuador deserve as much respect as any other nation.
I am a Linux user and it seems I have a keyboard mapping problem of some kind..not trying anything cryptic there btw but feel free to examine my digital art and tell me what you think? :)
JQB,

Yes, you didn’t believe this was happening until Wikileaks?
Miki67 02:02 interesting
Embassy ground should be considered as sovereign. I don’t believe any assault will be made, it would be the greatest boon Assange could have.
Has the case against him been fabricated, or is it possible he has a case to answer
oh dear did a mention of good musid stop newsnight????

we used to be this good

FFS, If you look back, I was asking for info – or trying to – on which of the leaks were earth shattering enough to undermine a political system. Whilst these leaks expose an abhorrent crime, where individuals should be charged, I don’t see how they are going to do that. If charges were brought, they may even change public opinion towards American policy in the Middle East – though I doubt it.
Read my posts before you go off half-cocked
My goodness.
See all this political guff – ignore it.
Simple solution.
World, make me your leader. I won’t let you down.
Don’t read the small print though, leave that for the criminally insane.
I thank you.
I’m a musician and an old activist. ‘The Man Who Sold The World’ is a stellar album.
But the kind of ‘new world order’ we have to endure makes me more than angry.
There is trouble everywhere in the world right now. The worst I’ve ever seen it in my six decades on this third rock from the sun.
Globalisation is a disaster. And disaster is global.
Just look at the corruption in our own back yard. It’s everywhere,and it stinks.
JQN
The Law to the outsider is a strange beast. Lawyers bring it to life. Some good, some bad.
Seems like the foundations on which we placed our feet as kids, are beginning to shake?
JQB,
so, next question must be, will he face any case in sweden, they refused to guarintee he would face charges in sweden, they refused to offer a fair trial, they refused to discount extradition.
The british govt are breaking every rule in the diplomatic book, for alleged rape. Regardless of how horrific that crime must be, or how nasty he looks, is there any other man in history who has had such bad press for telling the truth, of course there is, but they used to be called communists, nowadays they are called security risks

you should phone the council miki. or dyno-rod, might be your drains.

Miki67,
as am I, and I still class myself as a Socialist, but I’ve seen enough of that ilk who had no love for their fellow man to last me a lifetime… and I’m pissed off with knee-jerk reactions that suggest a man who can do good through exposing these things, is incapable of committing these crimes, and should be immune from prosecution.
I ask again, is there any evidence that this charge is a set-up?
Anyway, my suggested listening for Lenny’s ipod tomorrow while he heads over from the hotel to take a look at the pitch: (worth hearing for the end part alone)

Come on, if you’re going to be pedantic..
Did you answer the questions earlier? He is to be extradited to Sweden on an alleged sexual assault charge, and the swedish will then extradite him to the States who will prosecute him with a charge of treason, and most likely lock him up until he dies. To facilitate this process, the UK will ignore the Ecuadorian offer of political sancuary to this man, and indeed, there are reports that they have threatened the Ecuador embassy with force if needs be.
Can you give me an example where that has happened to anyone else in the UK, ever?
JQB,
I know your game fascist, cast aspertions and let them defrnd.
there was nothing about your post that asked questions, your post told us he was a rapist and needed to be punished, that was yours and fox and the bbc’s only justification for calling the man a rapist without fair representation.
Impossible he could just be a free speecher, cause only one message is allowed.
scunnered a supposed tim cant tell the difference between vindictuve propaganda and free speech.
go your own way, please
I got an almost 30 year crush on this gal..

FFM,
the forign secretary (some failed PM candidate) told the world on telly, there was no convention that barred them from tresspassing a foreign embassy to take prisoners. ffs, where does that leave british diplomats, all for the sake of declaring murderers diplomatically immmune. Them special forces who maned the gunships and played vid games with human beings lives, are more valued than diplomacy, thats the message I get.
But, its no their fault he only got their vids they were doing their duty, murdering indiginous populations, its them liberals who keep telling the world the truth, no good for business.
C,
Absolutely. Noticed you making this point the other day.
Sadly, didn’t notice any MSM choobs pointing it out.
It is indeed us against the NWO amigo :)
But if we take to the trenches, would you give me your last rollo??? Hmm.
I wonder….
I wouldn’t either; I’d eat it while jumping on your back to cover your sorry arse from friendly fire. That’s the kind of guy I am :)

what is it they call it
“I have no view on his character, but with allegations as serious as this, in my opinion he should go to Sweden and take the trial.”
I also think you should stand trial for my fascist allegation, and I demand you are deported, FFM, BMCUWP, mags, philvis.., Awe_Naw… will you be witness to JQB’s trumped up charges, I reckon he could be standing trial in kerela for treason against the state, but will the british govt destroy diplomacy
I’m not saying Assange is innocent of what he’s being accused of,and if he’s guilty then the punishment should fit the crime,and all that kinda thing. Just desserts etc.,.
But this blatantly backhanded cackhanded attempt to bring him to America to face their stke of ‘justice’ is a big stinkin’ heap of hypocritical nonsense.
stke = style.
Stupid iPad . Stupid me.
Time for sleeeeeep.
HH!
