Brendan Rodgers would be happy to have given pretty much his entire first team squad a run-out yesterday. I’d expect a similar usage of the squad in Ljubljana on Wednesday but Saturday’s game against Maribor.
There’s seldom anything more than fitness to take from these games but when a young player scored what proves to be a winner, it’s likely to matter more. Ryan Christie looked stressed at the end of last season when five Celtic players scored before he – when playing as striker – got on the scoresheet. Yesterday’s win against Sturm Graz will count for Ryan.
So Bayer Leverkusen are after Efe Ambrose. Not surprised at that one. Surprise isn’t an appropriate word, not at all. Everyone just look at your shoes, don’t make eye contact, poker faces, please.

Don’t sell Ambrose, Efe Ambrose, I just don’t think you understand……………………………
I liked ole Efe, he did make a couple of costly mistakes, but he never hid from anything.
If he goes, I’ll miss the celebration, but also hope no-one else starts doing it.

My school O level history project and the reading of a couple of his own books and a few biography’s of him. I went to a good school.
Didn’t have wiki back in them days.
We also studied, the 1st world war, 2nd world war, Napoleonic War, the Boar War, The war of American independence amongst many other things. I choose Oswald Mosley for my O level project due to the number of occasions I had heard people speak of him and his comments regarding immigration, how right some people thought he was and how his views were becoming reality in the modern Britian of that time.
But hey. You wiki away with yourself.
You do know you or I can also edit wiki anytime we please.

The Parliamentary Labour Party (Blair Division) has just released the following statement;
“Following the result of the EU Referendum the PLP will no longer seek nor accept the votes of the working classes”
Or something on those lines.

Macjay,
How can you claim to search for the truth when you uphold a decision based on lies, misinformation and withheld information?
If that is the case, I must assume that you uphold the LNS decision which was arrived at via similar means.
I am beginning to believe that you are playing with the blog, though, as your replies are becoming increasingly ridiculous.
The seat of a countries democracy is it’s Parliament.
When a government abandons it’s elected duty, it creates a form of anarchy in the country, which leaves the field clear for the kind of deranged advocates of isolation, that have sprung up in both of our former country.
“Crucufy him”, cried the majority!

Most interesting part of the UEFA report is the ‘excluded from participating in the next UEFA club competition for which it would otherwise qualify’ bit. Pretty much nails the myth that as Huns didn’t qualify for following years tourney anyway no point in looking at their eligibility from 2012. Unless of course they are a new entity!

as I explained.
My source is my education (school books and books available at the time in the school library – no internet or wiki back then) and my memory as well as listening to those of my wiser elders of that time.

Was he a member of the Labour Party ?
Was the Labour Party of the `30 s a socialist party ?

probably because wiki says so.

If Efe leaves , he has my gratitude as being a good man and never hiding when he played for us.
He has made costly mistakes but not as many as people made out. I askedsome guys I work with how many goals Efe was directly responsible for and all they could say was the Rubentus game, the Fenerbache game and penalties he conceded.
The Aberdeen centre half , Ash Taylor, cost his team three games last season and made more mistakes than Efe, but he wasn’t given the same treatment by our media, I wonder why that would be.
I would like to wish him and his family well in the future.
Who will the next boo boy be?

Does being a member of the Labour Party actually make you a socialist. Tony Blair was a member of the Labour PArty and he wasn’t a socialist! He was a war miongering red tory whore.

All ordered copies of Once Upon a Time in the Kingdom of Govania are now posted and should start to arrive tomorrow.
Judging by the reaction this beach book has caused on Twitter where hundreds of zombies are piling in to attack and abuse us, it really is perfect for getting under their skin.
They don’t like it at all. You on the other hand will not stop laughing.

As a boy was Maurice Johnston a Celtic fan?
Did Maurice Johnston play for Celtic?
Would it be correct now to refer to Maurice Johnston as a Celtic fan?

So only those who voted to remain in the EU actually knew what they were doing?
And the seventeen and a half million who voted differently were too stupid to know better. Over 40% of metropolitan cosmopolitan London voters voted leave as did nearly 40% of voters in Scotland. Fools every last one of them?
The dye was cast for Efe a long time ago unfortunately,I wish him well if he goes,a top pro from all accounts. The squad needs a revamp,Efe would not have been on too many ‘keep’ lists,so £1.5 million is a great deal for us IMO

1918 Mosley began life as a politician. So 20’s, 30’s and into the 40’s with 1 and some month in the 10’s.
You need to read a wee bit more of your wiki page mate.

Just seen this on UEFA site, interesting if you have an interest in RES12.
The UEFA Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) adjudicatory chamber, chaired by José Narciso da Cunha Rodrigues, has taken decisions in the cases of four clubs that had been referred to it by the acting CFCB chief investigator, due to the presence of overdue payables.
Related Items
•Update on work of the CFCB investigatory chamber
•Nine FFP investigations opened
The decisions of the CFCB adjudicatory chamber are as follows:
FK Ekranas (LTU): The club is excluded from participating in the next UEFA club competition for which it would otherwise qualify in the next two seasons (i.e. 2015/16 and 2016/17). The club has also been fined €15,000.
CFR 1907 Cluj (ROU): The club is excluded from participating in the next UEFA club competition for which it would otherwise qualify in the next three seasons (i.e. 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18), unless the club is able to prove by 31 January 2015 that the amounts that were identified as overdue payables on 30 September 2014 have been paid. In addition, CFR have also been fined €150,000.
FC Astra Giurgiu (ROU): The club is excluded from participating in the next UEFA club competition for which it would otherwise qualify in the next three seasons (i.e. 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18), unless the club is able to prove by 31 January 2015 that the amounts that were identified as overdue payables on 30 September 2014 have been paid. The club have also been fined €100,000.
Bursaspor (TUR): The suspended exclusion imposed by the Court of Arbitration in Sport (CAS) in 2012 comes into effect and Bursaspor are therefore excluded from participating in the next UEFA club competition for which it would otherwise qualify in the next four seasons (i.e. 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19).
The CFCB adjudicatory chamber has now imposed on Bursaspor a further exclusion (i.e. for a different season to the season in which the above-mentioned immediate exclusion applies) from participating in the next UEFA club competition for which it would otherwise qualify in the next four seasons (i.e. 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19). This new exclusion applies unless the club is able to prove by 31 January 2015 that the amounts that were identified as overdue payables on 30 September 2014 have been paid.
The club has also been fined €100,000, half of which is suspended and will only fall due if the club are not able to prove by the above-mentioned deadline that it has paid the above amount of overdue payables.

How very perspicacious of you.
By the way, that’s his own business.
If Joe Allen really wants to be reunited with Brendan and would like to come to Celtic – then if we wait till Jan ’17, we could get him either on pre-contract for nothing, or, in January for a much- reduced fee.
This situation might lead Liverpool to accept around £7m after Euro Championship – you never can tell!!!!

Your opinion won the vote,the country has lost the outcome.
Some of your arguments to support your view-and those who matched it and sold it to the country-are spurious at best.
IMO they do you little credit.
The winners didn’t have a plan further than winning. Mainly because they didn’t expect to. Therefore they reckoned they could lie and lie with impunity,and immunity from the result.
They won the vote. And lost their future. They deserve that,and more.
What no-one deserves,with the greatest respect,is to have someone on the other side of the world defending the indefensible. Yes,have an opinion. Not a problem-in fact,all the more welcome for going against the tide.
But to deny the obvious about the damage it has done to the country and even to those in charge of that campaign? Well,I hold principles dear,but they come a distant second to being right.

No.
What they did know though, was not to take a leap into the unknown, based on the lies, and misinformation of easily identified extreme political figures.
Sometimes the status quo is the wisest and safest option….and not change for change’s sake.
Can I call them lemmings?
Yes, I think I can and have already done so.
Ironic that those poor, brave souls, 100 years before, followed the whistle of incompetent, dangerous buffoons, at the Somme.
No replies?
Hooray, I won!

Efe Ambrose is a fine footballer if an inconsistent one. Played, at a level Internationally at least, that the likes of Scott Brown could only dream about. Best wishes wherever he goes.
