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.

Aye, the fascists are fair out in force tonight.
Macjay
I noticed a post from you earlier praising Abbot for stopping the boats with immigrants from entering Oz, that’s a bit rich coming from an immigrant, No….
Are you a better class of immigrant then ?
———————————————————————————————————————
I feel it`s advisable not to communicate with insulters.
It only encourages them.
A bit like choosing your company.
Which is probably what Kojo did.
……………………………………………………………………………………….
Insulters
I asked you a question, I never insulted you.
You praised the Oz PM for stopping immigrant boats from entering Oz, that is on record, I asked you if you think you feel you are of a better class than them.
Why would you think it’s a good thing to stop desperate people from entering Oz ?
Or are there no more Aboriginies to displace, will it be whitie next, is that your fear ?
———————————————————————————————————————
No insult?
This juxtaposition is purely coincidental?

Was saying to a few CQN guys at the match tonight that we have had an infiltration of wrong wans on CQN recently. They all agreed. The Pasty guy and the twin fae Tintin were mentioned.

Sexism is a staple of the wimmin’s game.
I like to appreciate both their ability and comeliness.
A bit like a feminist lesbian…
Hoi – you – Sandman – stop stirring it :-))
Nice pink numbers on the Japan kit, right enough.

I kinda liked ‘lineschick’ too :-))
English commentator – “…If you appeal to the referee, 9 times out of 10 you’re going to get the decision…”.
So, if both teams always appeal for everything – how does that work?

BCW,
No surprised you confused, you usually are when addressing me, in fact if I remember properly the last time we communicated on here you told me to scroll on by, which I faithfully have, half the time you don’t know whether to agree with yourself.
To keep it simple, if I am to be chastised for stating the bleeding obvious then I expect there is only one motive for that, having a dig. He was not addressed however, he decided to interject with an interpretation that required a fair bit of convolution. An interpretation that could only be resolved (in his opinion) with me being portrayed as wrong.
My simple sentiment is that, being a club supposedly open to all is that there is a very simple principal, to be open to all, all must be treated equal, that is obviously not the case but it is what IMO what we should aspire to.
If we have people who want to be associated with the club but do not aspire to equality then they need to be reminded what the ethos and aspirations of the club and support are.
If they still refuse to accept those aspirations and spend any time trying to diminish those aspirations then IMO they should be hounded, or open to all becomes a farce.

Japanese girls settling in. Knocking it about on deck like Hoops. Jonathan Peirce may be weeping by the end of this.
Almost a Naka-style incisive pass there. Hard lines.
I didn’t see the game due to the size 22 forcing me to take her to the movies.
Good to see our pre season get off to a good start and especially pleased to see Lustig back playing in hoops.
Barrack Obampot, loved your vid of the dolphin rescue as Barra has a special place in my heart. I first visited your lovely island 40 years ago and try to get back at least every couple of years. I usually sta with Ronnie and Anne MacNeil at Grianamul, a smashing couple and a great wee gaff.
Hope to get up next year to strangle one or two fish on Loch St Clair. If you see a young lass (an adopted Barra girl) goes by the name Poppy, tell her Mick D says hello.

Such a lot of effort from you too……but wrong entirely.
Don’t think I’ve ever told anyone to scroll.
Why are you always so angry?
BCW
Enjoyed first half. Den Bosch are only slightly better than Sevco. Poor team.
Bring on the Dukla Prague!

Ach, I prefer brunettes.
I’m warming to the Japanese No.13…
Saint Stivs – especially if Golum is in charge, and particularly if he doesn’t see it – the wee ratbag that he is. Still bliddy wound up at that Broadfoot dive – not at the player, but at that wee slimeball with the whistle.
Anyway – they are deid, so I need to let go :-))
Back to the serious fitba – the wee Japanese No.13 is a honey.

time to think about who you respond to.

i had a recent business trip. to the US.a person i never met before, was able to quote me something i have only ever said on CQN.
the keep it lit,
aye ok, maybe,
however,
being able then, to bring up some republican stuff, in a conversation.

no such thing as anonymity on this place
