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.

I’m sorry I missed them. Only started to watch late on in the Japan v Oz game.
…and is it rude?
Delaneys,
did you see any bother in Paisley?,
I spoke to a girl I know working there who told me there was fighting in the town centre
Duggan – just (30 metres) over the bar, in an obviously cold Canadian stadium.

Oops
ACGR is on. I eagerly await the first mention of nubbins :-))
DD, how dare you insinuate my beloved is bigger boned than my Mrs.
BCW,
When was the last time you addressed me ?
When was the last time I addressed you ?
I’ll give you a clue, you asked me to scroll on by the last time I did not agree with you.
Effort ? Why would you think that ?
I’m simply answering your question, the same as I try to answer anyone who asks me a question.
Nothing wrong with me trying to be clear I don’t think, especially with someone who has previously spent a time trying to have a go.

Anger always confuses me.

Penalty for Japan!!!!
Japan even.

A hun I grew up with in Knightswood, approached me in a pub in Partick recently and told me that he had sussed that I was Delaneys Dunky who posts on CQN.
I told him that he was correct and did he have a problem? They look!
TOSB………….:_)
Incidentally nubbin is second only to flange as the finest word in the dictionary.
Goal Japan.
BCW,
Maybe you need to cool down then.
1 zip for Japan.
1 nil.
Commentator “…If you put up both arms like that, and push the player in in the back, then you run the risk of giving something away…” – eh, well, aye (she’s sharp, this one)!!

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.
——————————-
I hope that’s the only time you’ve had a poppy on ye!!!
Slowest walk up to a penalty results in a goal by a non Naka look alike for Japan

Can you define make amends?

Make amends. When you have done something wrong, if it’s too late to fix it, then try and make sure you don’t do it again.

After watching the game on rerun I think we should be asking for refs from Europe, some of them tackles were potential career enders, Celtic need to put down a marker that Scottish refs are not good enough, the standard in Scotland is shameful.
Hmm, dodgy pen? Soft.
But, y’know, hah-ha…
Roon ye, Peirce.

DD.
local recognition is funny,
to go abroad and be told who i might be, in a business context, thats unsettlng.
to have it brought up by someone i dont like is well ,
who knows who watches
DD
I hope you presented him with his crisp £5 note.

The LSD were jumping about pre match on Greenock Rd. shouting nonsense. The polis were following them. They were all 12 year old St Mirren fans looking for a game of chases.
