Developing Paulo

105

Portuguese international football is on a high at the moment, after winning the Nations League Final against Spain earlier this month.  The country has enjoyed a decades-long prodigious run of producing tier-one level talent.

All this makes Paulo Bernardo’s role as vice-captain in the European Under-21 Championship all the more interesting.  Although Paulo is 23, eligibility for the tournament depends on your age when the qualification tournament started, so from 23-year-olds can participate.

Paulo’s development took a backseat to that of Arne Engels last term.  The club had just paid £11m for Arne, so he was always going to get the nod.  Still, Paulo’s talent and ability to produce in big games has been evident to Celtic fans since 2023.  We paid £6m and need to make sure his development does not suffer again.

Portugal Under-21s face Georgia tonight, hopefully Paulo builds on his scoring performance last time against Poland.

  1. celtic40me @ 7:10 pm,

     

     

    Again…

     

     

    Speculative nonsense….

     

     

    Are you ever going to dabble in facts.

     

     

    Brendan Rodgers wouldn’t sell Matt O’Riley for 11 mn in January 2024

     

     

    Brendan Rodgers wouldn’t sell Matt O’Riley for 13, 15, 17mn in the summer of 2024.

     

     

    Brendan Rodgers said he knew how much Matt O’Riley was worth.

     

     

    Brendan Rodgers sold Matt O’Riley €30 mn.

     

     

    Brendan Rodgers knows the value of a player

     

     

    Celtic40me does not.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  2. Someone posted about the psychology of trolling, a while back.

     

    Think it was scullybhoy – apologies if not.

     

    Has anybody come across the psychology of multimonikerism – must be pathological!

  3. BelmontBrian @ 8:27 pm,

     

     

    Yes…

     

     

    Went down the rabbit hole a bit with it, forgot Marc Almond done it, which is possibly the one I remember more*

     

     

    Scroll by alert – The lineman!?

     

     

    As a electronic engineer

     

     

    RF** is above 20 KHz, AF*** is 20 Hz to 20 KHz

     

     

    However, them old skool land lines used to peak at 2 KHz, so when he’s singing through the phone to himself by the river, that’s how a real telephone would have sounded then.

    I’d be interested to know what’s speculative about what I said – he said it all in a press conference word for word.

     

     

    Suggesting Brendan is accountable in any way always seems to bring on a hissy fit. It sounds like the greatest gig in football if it was true

  5. celtic40me @ 8:51 pm,

     

     

    Totally agree, he did say something very similar.

     

     

    However, you are suggesting after one season that we can’t sell Engels at a substantial profit.

     

     

    I’m suggesting, given time to develop, he may well do that.

     

     

    Remember VvD, a world class player we sold for a song!?

     

     

    We are in a much better position now.

     

     

    Your argument is speculative because we haven’t sold Arne….

     

     

    We have sold VvD

     

     

    We have sold Matt O’Riley

     

     

    Dems, the facts!?

     

     

    Hail Hail

  6. CHAIRBHOY on 17TH JUNE 2025 8:59 PM

     

     

    “However, you are suggesting after one season that we can’t sell Engels at a substantial profit.”

     

     

    I’m not, obviously, but you know that.

  7. celtic40me @ 9:21 pm,

     

     

    “I’m not, obviously, but you know that.

     

     

    Well, I’m not sure that I do, but point accepted.

     

     

    So, why is your comment not speculative!?

     

     

    Hail Hail

  8. Rangers will never die if its anything to do with the Integrity of 6o,ooo Timmy Sheep, who’ll just go along with the PLC’s next cover up again.

     

     

    Then the 60,000 will act all oblivious to what they just did, like in 2016 after the Huns won promotion.

     

     

    Anybody doing their Timmy duty and whistle blowing this pro-Old Firm criminality will be isolated as a troll.

     

     

    Shhhhhhh.

     

     

    Rather be a troll than a Green Hun CSC

  9. Angry racist.

     

    Walter acceoted,wished the new klub well

     

    Celtic commenting would be very ol frim,they dont,all Celtic fans know the origins of rfc self harm,we are still laughing at the rage and excusery,They done it to themselves.,if you see dogturd dont stand on it avoid!! And you stopped goin 2006 anyway.

  10. AT – I stopped going cause MON left after “Slow Lane Lawwell’ put the brakes on and turned Celtic into a wee pishy punchbag European club, and replaced MON with wee unemployed grifter n greeting faced Jungle Hater ie: WGS was brought in from the dug track at Shawfield by big bold Dessy lol

     

     

    Now another unemployed pal of Dessy’s who canny make a player out of big Maik is making us even smaller in Europe compared to similar resourced clubs. lol

     

     

    PS, Maik isny the problem. Ahem.

     

     

    Real Good guys.

     

    IPV6 Malcontent Rebels saving the World!

  11. Angry racist.

     

     

    So 2005 you stopped going

     

    Wee Gordon won 3 titles after you stopped going

     

    From memory 2 Champions league qualifications which you did not attend.including a last 16.

     

    Your jungle is as dead as the club you want Celtic to comment on.It ended before the stadium rebuild,the kelly and white pocklers reseated it.

     

    Must remember to send griftergordon a tenner! Is that not the done thing with grifters.lols

     

     

    Your Celtic Kevin is gone,a figment of your imagination,your head a pishypunchbag then fried with youchoob,like a pacman stuck and unable to get out,your anger and self loathin are repititious comment,same old,same old on how life has done you over,but Celtic are your vehicle for that anger,a team you have watched on telly for 20 years.There are Celts on here from all parts of globe who would walk a million miles to see Celtic,but you stay in Blantyre,you could walk it or get a train but you prefer confusion bout vax,chemtrails,racism and other nonsense.

     

    You are a predictable as a dannymcgrain wing gallop.

     

    20 years of anger,bottled up inside you

     

    Its not healthy,stop inhaling those chem trails ffs.

     

    Ps you isolate yourself,have done for 20 years

     

    Maybe you should go along to match,each games different unlike your anger

  12. AT – The Celtic that I was brought up with ruled Europe and being the 1st British team to win the big Cup all whilst barely having an erse to their trousers.

     

     

    This same “poor” Celtic, gave away 50% of Home gate receipts to the opposition teams so that there would actually be an opposition to play against, AND, these “pocklers” allowed 30% of attending fans in for a free lift over the turnstiles, so not a lot left to “pockel” as you infer.

     

     

    My “real” authentic Celtic died when McCann lied about leaving the club under the fans control, just like he lied about sorting out the CBC abuse cases.

     

     

    The wee Tory Liar from Canada was a Toxic Disaster zone!

     

     

    Your Celtic moans about not having enough money to make a fist of it in Europe, and this defeatism is written all over, Brendan’s, Callum’s, and the meek surrendering fans faces as well.

     

     

    The old Celtic wouldn’t have needed to comment about Rangers dying, because Desmond White would have ensured that the villain, David Murray was “solely” punished and not tens of thousands of innocent Football fans who weren’t paid any EBT’s, because the Celtic that I grew up with had class, honesty, and integrity.

     

     

    The Celtic that suits Snp moulded simps era like you, hid behind the sofa during the EBT crisis keeping their powder dry whilst pissing themselves laughing at how deranged and dolly dimple the Celtic support has become since Snp started dumbing down the education system and sleekitly increasing the amount of vaccines that Children required before starting school.

     

     

    Before Snp came to power, Autism was evident in One in every 10,000 people, and now its One in every 34 people. Who could tell?

     

     

    Snp controlling Scotland and trashing all of the previous Generations ways of life, just like your post has done about the pre 1994 Celtic FC, to the nowadays club where there is not a single person on the Chain of Command who can be trusted and their tolerated by the simps era of Timdom.

     

     

    So you are correct, I don’t want to be associated with plastic this, fake that, lying about something else, every other day, and on it goes, looking at TV images during games one thing that I have noticed is that, all seating has created Generation Ugly Tim Fat ASS!

     

     

    From Handsome Tim/ Best Fans In The World era pre 1994.

     

     

    To the new grunt: “The Huns Celebrated and made an Ass of Themselves, Why Are We Not Allowed To Make An Ass of Oorselves?” Era.

     

     

    The Glasgow Snp-Scumbag Council might not understand you if you don’t write to them in Gaylick with a rainbow eemojay.

     

     

    Worth a try eh.

  13. And another thing.

     

     

    When Fergus built his stadium we were much thinner. Now we’re the fattest in Europe with 67% of adults being overweight or obese.

     

     

    And yet the seat sizes are still the same. The stadium should be expanded to make bigger seats to accommodate bigger bums.

     

     

    Alternatively, i ithink you should have to declare your BMI prior to buying tickets.

     

     

    As for lifting over turnstiles, good luck with that. Have you seen the size of some of the young team nowadays. 😀

     

     

    I guess that is a bit unfair, im sure they’ve got enough on their plate already.

     

     

    Disclaimer: This is in jest and it is not fat shaming.

    Maybe sookin in chem trails might help wi the bmi

     

    ::-))

     

    ==============

    So you can finally see what I have observed since MON got out of the Lawwellian dwarfing program for the Grand Old Club.

     

     

    You need to get me out of your empty head or you’ll make yourself ill.

     

     

    PS, Chemtrails are mRNA Vaccines in Aerosol format.

     

     

    That is why the last 5 years has been a Turbo-Stage-4-Cancer epidemic.

     

     

    And a Heart Attack, Stroke, Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) epidemic.

  16. ASCOT HORSE RACING YESTERDAY ( DAY ONE ).

     

     

    SCROLL BY if NOT interested.

     

     

    I had FOUR Winners out of Seven Races yesterday. The EARLY Prices that I had were,

     

    20/1, 8/1, 9/2 and 8/11.

     

    Sadly the 20/1 Winner was NOT on the same line as the others.

     

     

    However, I also managed to get the Ascot QUADPOT UP….It paid a Dividend of just over £286.00 for a £1 Stake.

     

    I had a PERMED QUADPOT on for FOUR £0.50 Pence Units…Total Stake of £2.00.

     

     

    I got just over £143.00 back from the Bookies for that Permed Quadpot.

     

     

    Not too shabby…

     

    LOL

     

     

    Day Two of Ascot beckons.

     

    HH.

  17. Paul The Spark on

    At least he is using his original moniker, but he doesn’t half talk a load of pish.

  18. JOE McBRIDE took a circuitous route before landing at his boyhood idols Celtic in the summer of 1965.

     

     

    The burly, barrel-chested old-fashioned striker was determined to make up for lost time. In his three years at Parkhead, Joe fired in 86 goals in 94 appearances, an astonishing 54 of them coming in only 55 league games.
