I know squad numbers are limited but I’m disappointed Eoghan O’Connell has not been retained. In his performances early last season he displayed the attributes of a modern-day footballing central defender. He has a future in the game and will do well wherever he goes next.
The perennial dilemma of youth development is that while teams want to improve performances NOW, they also need to leave space for worthy development squad candidates to grow into. Kieran Tierney got there, but the truth is, Celtic had been trying to sign a left back for year but were unable find anyone of the necessary standard. If we did, Kieran, Eoghan, would never have had the chance.

Oh and another thing…
What would Corbyn have to offer Sinn Féin to attract them to Westminster to save ye all from the DUP/Tory alliance?
Is the time for a United Ireland?

If the DUP think they can dominate the nationalist community, they should reconsider.
I get what you are saying, and im hoping its resolved peacefully.
HH
Hot Smoked,
no….he’d rather it was just the one team dominating…..just not called Celtic….he is an arsehole to put it bluntly;-))

‘ye all’
?
Are the nationalist people living in NI somehow immune from what the Tory Government will do?

I did think of the `only one team as long as….` reality immediately after posting.
Some things have changed but many old `traditions ` remain.
Definite cheerio this time.

Ernie,
You are being disingenuous….again…..we would all be affected….

On reflection that was a very strong england team last night. How many of the non celts in the dark blue would get into celtics team. Or to put it another way celtic drew with england with most of our first team missing
TGM,

Are the DUP and SF in agreement on both wanting an open, rather than a closed, border?

Irrelevant – EU will decide

I think the point is if there is to be an open border the EU will insist on something in exchange, something that would be incompatible with hard Brexit, thus alienating the hard right in the Tory party.
The Lurkin Tim
No…that doesnt look as if you wrote it, because quite obviously i did.
If any mod thinks any of my posts are unacceptable, im sure they will be deleted.
Its a perfectly reasonable statement.

Surely EU will want an open border.
Such an arrangement would facilitate free movement of EU citizens into Britain.
TGM,
It’s a perfectly reasonable inflammatory statement….fixed that for you….I agree, my political views aren’t my own ;-))

‘Let’s see how the CQN unionists enjoy having the DUP make their laws.’
###
Lets not forget that during the Troubles the only mainstream politicians on the mainland who were prepared to speak out in defence and support of Irish Republicanism were ‘unionist’ politicians like Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell.
The nationalists, not so much. Generally the only time they mentioned the issue was when they spoke in support of Scottish soldiers involved in one atrocity or another.
Some people have very short memories.

Of course they do.
The point is the hard Brexiteers in the Tory party don’t, not if it involves free movement of people (which, so far as I understand it, it must).
So the involvement of the DUP is going to cause as many problems as it solves for the Tories.
The Lurkin Tim
Whatever:)
Its not worth arguing about.
Fair statement on my part though:)
Nobody will dominate the nationalist community. Im only stating the obvious.
Anyway

Morning from Glasgow Airport, en route to Orlando, we have an SFA Presidentsaying “hopefully Celtic don’t do it again….” that is what we have always been up against….can you imagine this being said in any other country….?
………………………
It would appear the forces of hundom are trying to provoke us once again. It’s as if they want to align the other clubs and their supporters against us.
Is this a pre-emtive strike prior to the findings of the Big Tax Case and the undoubted shit storm that will ensue?

First off. You got i bang on when you mentioned possible hung parliament early on Thursday.
Theresa May is about to discover that Ulster Loyalism always comes at a price. And that price is always self interest.

At least he is not claiming to be a Partick or St. Mirren supporter.
Absolutely no interest in the Scottish team , apart from wanting the celts in the team to do well . never used to miss a game at hampden . But like many others got sickened with the anti celtic agenda , at those games, Two Unbelievable free kicks from the griff , but in all honesty ,I thought Craig could have done better with their two goals . But I suppose a point is better than nothing
Even if Sinn Fein take up their seats, the Tory/DUP alliance still have a majority. I can’t see SF changing their position unless they see that it will make a real difference, or unless the new coalition undermines the nationalist community so much that SF feels it needs to take a stand.
There is a potential problem if they do take up seats, in that every vote which included SF would be portrayed as Corbyn and terrorists supporting one another (I know, I know…). JC is already considered vulnerable on terrorism by the MSM, so they will look for every opportunity to make that connection. It is interesting to see that the last 24 hours has shown that a lot of people in the UK were not really aware of what the DUP stood for, so they are probably not as tainted by the troubles as SF in the minds of most UK voters. Most UK voters probably just see them as religious lunatics (which is fair, but not the whole story…). I’d tend to say that SF should maintain their present position unless things get really bad in NI. Which is possible, the ‘marching season’ is almost upon us.
There’s no doubt that the DUP want a soft Brexit, but more than that they want to shore up the position of the Orange and Protestant community in NI. It’s a bit like the Tories say they want negotiated access to the single market, but immigration will trump that . So this is a real chance for the DUP. I feel that the DUP will accept what the Tories want on Brexit as long as they are allowed to march and to maintain some hard-line positions on e.g. gay rights, abortion, etc. Wouldn’t surprise me if May offers them an easy score by withdrawing from the European Court of Human Rights. What all this does to the Good Friday Agreement, God only knows: but the Tories don’t care. As Edward Carson said in 1921 “What a fool I was! I was only a puppet, and so was Ulster, and so was Ireland, in the political game that was to get the Conservative Party into Power.”
Me being twisted me would like to give Mrs May the benefit of the doubt.
Could it possibly be that enlisting the support of the DUP, she was merely demonstrating the time honoured English ignorance of Ireland and Irish affairs?
Is Ernie a split personality of Quonno, Mr Pastry, Matts Nilloc, Timbhoy1 & others? Should he be ridiculed or patronised ;-))

Made my views on SF and other Irish Abstentions very clear on Thursday.
Given the Independent Lady Harmon is liable to support Tories SF votes could not arithmetically defeat May.
However, they could make it difficult for her to govern where sickness and death could preempt by elections.
Indeed the outcome would eventually a vote of no confidence that would bring the government down.
Oh FFS.

Yes, im aware its obvious, thats why i said it:)

SF wont sit in Westminster, end of.
And why the fk should they?
HH
No apologies for reheating cauld kail.
If SF and its supporters want nothing to do with Britain, then that is their understandable choice.
However, in the interests of consistency they should desist from availing themselves of anything that costs the British taxpayer money or resources.
Just a wee point. Was looking at the first team squad on the Official site. The names & pics of Efe & Eoghan O’Connell have been removed but Paddy Roberts is still included, now Kris is still there as well but if his contract isn’t up yet then he is entitled to be there but I thought Paddy was officially gone back to Man City.
Quonno
You seriously talk about ‘British taxpayer money or resources’
The English have fleeced Ireland for nearly a thousand years….maybe you should read about that, then we can discuss reparations.
HH
Sorry TGM, am in a mood….
As BSR would say…..hood win a fite between us….lol ;-))
