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.

before i go. america is a bad place. with good music. and even this guy must be spinnin’ in his tomb.
“It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.” — Thomas Paine — (1737-1809)
if britain ignore all the laws and rules of international diplomacy and invade the ecuadorian embassy…
can they not then just rename themselves “the britain” and start again in the 4th tier of the league of nations?
they could wipe out their massive debt, but still wave the union jack and sing rule britannia. crucially, they’d get to keep all the shiny stuff they won at the olympics. and the stadium for that matter.
don’t be silly jock, that could never happen.
ermmm.

Now see what you’ve done… you’ve gone and made me cry
Seriously… is that it?
Can I be deported to somewhere where people have the guts to question beyond their narrow socialist/capitalist doctrines?
Absent from all of this has been an answer to my question as to whether there is any supposition that this could be a setup. If it is, I’m in with the high heels. Either way, I agree there is a possibility that America could use this as an opportunity to deport him. Right now, his reputation is in doubt.
If there’s no suggestion of a set-up, I’ve got a daughter – those women are somebody’s daughters.
miki67,
distraction, allegesd anything but one against one was not going to work.
C,
I had to google Kerela.
Now that I’ve decided to spend my well-earned travellers cheques on immigration to that wee haven, no way I want to see a feckin MSM camera or CQN trial anywhere near the feckin place.
I say, Tear down the wall.

nice one
yes
and you won’t believe this, cos I’m a Fascist, but he would face them… he’s a better man than me
and you
the whole thing is a smash and grab attempt by the US government to gag Assange because he hurt them. Sign things to come, beware my friends..
JQB,
would you let him, or would you protect him
miki67
Hope you don’t mind me saying this: really enjoy your posts. Would like to see you engage in the discussions more as you have a lot to offer. You seem content to operate as a lone ranger though, which deserves respect, and makes me like you more :)
Twinbhow, no according to old JQB, where theres muck theres brass eh
jock tamson @ 03:14

Worth considering the mistrust the Swedish have for their government then, who, like our own, got in on a minority, and quickly ruined everything the previous government had done.

aye, very good
you’re exposing more of your character with every post
again… is that it?
JQB,
Nowt wrong with being passionate about something lke this that DOES affect your children.
If you’re going to be clinical in your arguments, I’d ask you to answer mines at 02:45?
Top of the page, thank you very much :)

Absent from all of this has been an answer to my question as to whether there is any supposition that this could be a setup
——————————————————————
quick answer, no, it can’t be a setup as no charges have been brought against him. he is wanted for questioning. no charge = no crime. no crime = no setup.
slightly longer answer, there are screeds of supposition that this is a setup. can’t get graphic on here, but both women seemed extremely engaging, only for, next day to make complaints. now, a cynic would use the term “honeypot.” anyway, it sort of comes down to claims he deliberately split a condom.
the question you have to ask yourself is, why would a rapist use a condom? to prevent dna evidence perhaps? ok, so why then deliberately split it? he’s not actally accused of “rape” as such, it’s all about a burst balloon. the other woman… well, i’m afraid that tale is a wee bit more graphic.
anyway, yes, there is huge suspicion about the legitimacy of the accusations.
everyone’s arguing so i’m going to indulge myself..

FFM,
apologies… no I don’t have an example. As is perfectly evident, I’m no expert, but understood that extradition laws covered Sexual Assault cases. If I’m wrong on this, then I don’t see how he can be legally extradited – end of.
Jock Tamson,
thanks, from what you say, it sounds dubious to say the least. With the publicity surrounding this case, do you think it would stand up in court? Regardless of the change in government in Sweden, the judiciary is still independent?
as an adjunct… nobody claims there weren’t sexual relations…
just that the circumstances, like her inviting him to her flat at night etc, then serendipidiyously meeting miss w who enticed him into a cinema for, ahem, the following day, and only after discussing together previous events… then… they decided they’d been raped…
it’s like the plot of a very poor spy thriller.
ironically.
Twinbhoy,
Enjoyed your posts tonight.
That you posted a Queen song is a bit personal pour moi the noo.
Never liked this song before, but now it’s one I’ll always favour, despite the massive Queen catalogue.

Hi Zbyszek (If you are still around)
Can you find out if the CIA ran a secret prison in Poland
Since we are on the topic of Julian Assange on the page 53 of this wikileaks doc

Been reading it for the last 2 hours . Fascinating stuff.
Lennon hits out at Black boo-boys (Calm doon Kojo he’s no talking aboot you)
http://www.sportinglife.com/football/scottish-premier/news/article/425/7998896/lennon-hits-out-at-black-boo-boys
jqb, the key thing to bear in mind here is he has not been CHARGED with any crime. he is wanted for questioning.
the swedish police have been offered many opportunities to question him but will ONLY do it whilst he is under arrest.
JQB,
and if your boy didnt want to go
@FFB
cheers /
Jock Tamson,
ok, thanks again
but, to be the deil’s advocat again, is this not standard procedure even in UK, where arrest warrant is issued for questioning?
mags,
it took me 3 days to gat the blog discussing the single most important subject in the western world, it was worth it, just to hear a locktugger make me the centre of attention. Now where have we seen tactics like that before

Jock Tamson,
thanks, from what you say, it sounds dubious to say the least. With the publicity surrounding this case, do you think it would stand up in court?
—————————————————-
sorry, but i know heehaw about swedish law. in britain would it… hmmm…
it’s hard to know.
the interesting part for me, that makes it more likely to stand up but, paradoxically less credible is that it involves TWO women.
in essence no-one will ever know whether it was consensual or not. so it’s his word against hers. normally, conscience means without overwhelming evidence we give the benefit of the doubt to the accused…
but TWO women, that’s a different ball game. two voices against one is compelling.
and that is what makes it seem hard to believe. he would rape two women within 24 hours who then miraculously meet, spill their guts about being raped the night before to each other, then pop along to see plod?
the truth is i don’t know if it would stand up or not.
the point is, no-one expects it would ever go to trial anyway. stockholm would just be a refuelling stop.

Whatever I say, you’re not going to believe me anyway… and now, I really couldn’t give a toss… so tango
Note that any more than one comment after I’ve gone is a bit of a back stab… even you wouldn’t do that, would you?
adios
JimmyQuinnsBits
but, to be the deil’s advocat again, is this not standard procedure even in UK, where arrest warrant is issued for questioning
—————————————————————————-
evidently, this case is far from standard procedure.
in short, yes where an arrest warrant has been issued the uk would seek to extradite. however, in a situation where a fugitive sought political asylum in an embassy, if that warrant was for questioning, normally a diplomatic solution would be sought.
that would most likely involve questioning him in either the embassy or more likely a police station in that country (in this case britain) but crucially not whilst under arrest. from memory the ecuadorian embassy has offered this opportunity twice to the swedes.
that said, this case defies virtually all legal precedent. so who knows?
it is worth remembering, they already questioned him but could not charge him at the time with any crime.
Can we stop naval gazing? and look out towards Helsinborgs, Sevco, Ross County?

Remember Kent Starr ..spent a fortune in taxes trying to convict Hilary Clinton on a $60k possible land scam called whitewater that was a dead duck and ended up trying to get Bill to admit he had a blow job. Assange and the 2 Swedish women. Same thing. Sleight of hand to detract attention..
Neil. Yes. I know.
