Den Bosch and Janko in town, clogs to clogs

878

My expectation is Den Bosch will be better than an equivalent second-tier Scottish team (any of whom would give us a game on a summer evening like tonight), so they will hopefully present a suitable challenge to help stretch the legs.

Most attention will focus on Dedryck Boyata, but no matter if he looks great, or lousy, you will learn nothing of his abilities tonight. For Dedryck the objective is to get the limbs and lungs moving, just as with his new team-mates.

I hear Saidy Janko (19) was spotted walking into Ross Hall Hospital this morning.  Although known as a right back, Saidy can apparently play right side of central midfield and as a winger.  While he’ll be the fourth right back in the first team squad, positional definitions aren’t what they used to be.  At Celtic in particular, there’s often little difference between a full back and a winger (the former can hopefully tackle, the latter, less so).  They both have a responsibility to make runs into the opposition box, and to track back and defend.

Reports this morning that Dundee United have agreed a £1m fee for Nadir Ciftci with Gary Caldwell’s Wigan will be more palatable to United fans than seeing another player agree terms with direct rivals Celtic.  The fee agreed is within Celtic’s grasp, should they be sufficiently motivated to move for the player.  After a rising through the ranks, Wigan have endured two relegations in recent years.

They still have Premier League parachute payments coming in, which explains the seven figure bid.  It remains to be seen what Dave Whelan’s 23-year-old grandson makes of the opportunity, now he’s in day-to-day control.  There’s an old Dutch proverb about families with money going from clogs and back to clogs within three generations.

    With you on Fisher, held back with injury last year, hopefully a good run in the team this season

  2. From the little I saw, all I could take from it was the officials have thrown down their marker, potentially a couple of players could have been crocked and no even a foul.

     

    The club should be asking for non domestic officials to be in charge of these games, if only to protect our players and let the SFA know their standards are not good enough.

    Did we avoid any injuries tonight? Them Dutchies certainly had their clogs sharpened for the game.

    Canamalar,

     

     

    Content delivery over the internet is geogrraphically dependent. If Celtic solution does not have a server ….an edge server to be precise ….and thecompang carrying the stream does .i.eone cliser to you….it will be quicker.

    True story

     

     

    Can’t quite recall what the reasons were for his leaving. Derogatory comments and illness spring to mind but I am happy to be put straight on that. Fact remains, he was quite the eloquent poster.

    A very ‘SPFL’ approach from Den Bosch tonight. Our new bhoys will at least know what to expect of a Saturday.

     

     

    (Or a Sunday at 12 pm, or whatever)

  7. How did big Dedryck look, is he as quick as Jason and comfortable in possession?

  8. awe_naw…,

     

    I am still waiting on an answer from the CTV tech department, I’ve seen games shown in a boozer on CTV much better than I get.

     

    Bit that makes me laugh is people telling me how good their stream is, who the fcuk cares how good theirs is when mine is shite ffs :) hopefully one day I’ll be able to return the favour for them :) awe that’s a shame, my stream is great.

  9. I checked the BBC Sport website earlier for update on Saidy Janko signing, it had a picture of him in entering our stadium, and a couple of others in his Man Utd strip,

     

    Was just on there, and his picture has now changed to in a Bolton strip

     

     

    How does this happen ?

     

     

    Hahahahahaha

  10. Nye Bevans' rebel soldier on

    Back fae the training session,GMS and Rogic the stand outs,

     

    the Bosch number 13 was a impressive fellow…..until the ball

     

    went near him, that’s aboot it.

     

     

    Early rise so Goodnight Timland.

  11. I to subscribed to Celtic T V.Standard Definition.. which isn’t very good .how do I get H D and how much extra do I have to pay.enjoyed the game.this evening

  12. Oh and 10Mb/sec is good enough for HD, I get great streams on everything except CTV, it is the only one that buffers that much, could be its the connection where all the illegal streams are taken from causing bandwidth issues, maybe.

  13. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    Yeah its a pity the I.T world has became all about wholesale.

     

     

    It does not matter how fast your link says it is. What matters is how quickly it is delivered to your door and that is a jungle.

     

     

    You would still be quicker streaming from a sat dish than a telephone link.

    Couple of meaty challenges tonight,but DF doesnt take any prisoners!

     

    best bit for me tonight was my new subscription to Celtic TV and enjoying the commentary,all those years of F`n and blinding at Sky punditry and the high blood pressure it induced,Tom Boyd is magic,so no more claptrap from McCann & Co.for me.

    In fairness most postsers saying ‘picture is fine’ just to help you narrow down source of prob.

     

     

    No doubt there will be one or two bad bhoys just winding you right up…

    Bosch taken care of, I reckon we will murder Black & Decker.

    Downed tools a bit in the second half….

  17. The gremlins were at work tonight, I couldn’t get a stream to the live game, but could watch the first half just after half time.

     

    By all accounts I didn’t miss much in the second 45.

     

    Still it’s always good to see the Bhoys win, and some good performances from a couple of the fringe players. It was also heartening to see Rodgic have a decent spell.

  18. Awe_Naw…,

     

    Qatar mobile Internet is all 4G it was excellent, better than home broadband in the UK, problem is I’m in the UAE now and it’s a garbage mobile connection, so using hotel wifi which as I said is excellent, last night downloaded 13 gig in 3 hours so the connection speed is not an issue.

    Interesting to see that some posters feel the need to inform that, when Celtic are a class above, that the opposition must be dire!

     

    This is not exclusively a Scottish phenomenon but, in my experience, it is more prevalent here than in England ( or Govan ).

     

    `night all.

    Agreed Ennis.

     

     

    Kojo is still the most original poster on the blog. One of the funniest too.

     

     

    As for his remarks… A number of posters on here express support for some extreme ideologies. They are left to it. Kojo ain’t as extreme.

     

     

    Bring Kojo and Aiden home.

  21. Captain Beefheart on

    JJ,

     

     

    It is a friendly. It is utterly worthless apart from getting the players fit.

    Unfortunately,Kojo was subjected to repeated and sustained bullying from the usual suspects.

     

    His main problem was that he was a capitalist and admitted it.

     

    Unlike his detractors who are capitalists,but pretend that they`re not.

     

     

    He also said some things which some took to be racist,in spite of his references to Jewish friends,Mexican friends and friends from various other racial groups.

     

    He made some silly comments. He apologised for them.

     

    Who hasn`t made silly or even stupid comments?

     

     

    I miss him too.

  23. Saltires…

     

    As I said, it doesn’t wind me up it makes me laugh, I know they are only saying like but I am beginning to believe I’d be better of with the illegal streams, at least I don’t get frustrated knowing I’m not wasting money on it when it buffers.

    “CELTIC Football Club can confirm that it has completed the signing of Saidy Janko from Manchester United on a four year contract, subject to receiving satisfactory medical results which should hopefully be with the Club tomorrow morning.”

     

     

    I`ve got a good feeling about this new bhoy.

     

     

    Definite Goodnight now!

    I’ll get the details of the BV satellite system and post them on here. It also gets the sky channels without giving them a brass farthing.
