If you are missing your competitive football fix you’ll have devoured the fixture list this morning but it’s still over seven weeks until the first league game of the season, when the league flag will fly before we face Ross County (we will have played a Champions League qualifier five weeks from today).
Thereafter, due to the postponement of a home game to allow for a financially lucrative friendly, Celtic are on the road six times in nine league fixtures, so if our away form is anything like it was for much of last season, it’s likely we will be in the mix, instead of clear leaders, come the end of October.
After an absence of some time, Celtic have a local derby to look forward to. They meet Partick Thistle at Firhill on 26th October with the return game at Celtic Park set for New Year’s Day. We are scheduled for two trips to the Capital within a month but don’t go booking your flights for the Hearts game in September, just in case…..
Curious news today that Celtic director and BT chief executive, Ian Livingston, will leave the telecoms company after five years at the top to become Minister for Trade and Investment in the coalition government. Livingston will serve from the House of Lords. How about boosting the ailing Scottish football industry by lobbying for a merger with a neighbouring league?
Have you bought a ticket for Firday night’s Lions Roar event? Join hundreds of Celtic fans and the Lisbon Lions to watch the Lisbon game and for a Q&A afterwards.

One Of The Leaders Attending The G8 Summit This Week….
Gave A Robust And Inspirational Speech To His Own Parliament This Year…
~~~~~
(From ‘Pravda’….THE ‘ Publication Of Record’ In The Fine Nation Of Russia….
As Is The ‘Daily Mail’ In Our Own Enchanted Sceptred Isles )
….
On February 4th 2013,Vladimir Putin, Addressing The Duma (Parliament)…
Gave A Speech About The Tensions With Minorities In Russia…
~~~~~
“In Russia………Live Russians !!
Any Minority,From Anywhere,If It Wants To Live In Russia…..
If It Wants To Work And Eat In Russia..
Should Speak Russian,And Should Respect Russian Laws….
If They Prefer Sharia Law,Then We Advise Them To Go To Those Places Where That’s State Law…..
Russia Does Not NEED Minorities…..
Minorities Need Russia…..
And We Will Not Grant Them Special Privileges….
Nor Try To Change Our Laws To Fit Their Desires….
No Matter How Loud They Yell ‘Discrimination’…..
We Had Better Learn From The ‘Suicides’ Of America,England,Holland..And France
If We Are To Survive As A Nation….
The Russian Customs And Traditions Are NOT Compatible With The Lack Of Culture
Or The Primitive Ways Of Most Minorities
When This Honourable Legislative Body Thinks Of Creating New Laws…
It Should Have In Mind The National Interest….FIRST….
Observing That Minorities Are Not Russian….”
..
The Politicians In The Duma Gave Putin A Fifteen-Minute Standing Ovation…
~~~~~~~
Message To Nigel Farage….
“Get Us Out Of The Damnable ‘EU’….
And Intae ….The Russian Federation…”
Maks Sense Tae Me…An’ Ernie Lynch !
All that modern players have at their disposal is better technology, not technique.
It’s true in football, golf and tennis.
Greatest player.
On TV, Pele.
In the flesh,Xavi ,Iniesta and Messi . An absolute pleasure to watch these play. Still have to pinch myself when thinking that we turned them over .

pele scored 95 goals in just over 100 games for brazil, his domestic goals I am not sure about, although I seem to remember something about romarios scoring record being adjusted shall we say, so I suppose the same could be true of pele’s.

Nevin’s very appearance on TV annoys the hell out of me …wee shereen that he is
Aldo de Negris fae Mexico was a guy we were in for a few years ago,is he injured?
One of my biggest disappointments in football was watching the Brazil Team of 1974.
What in God’s name happened to them in 4 years ?
As an 8 year old in 1970 I couldn’t believe the show they put on in Mexico.
Even Scotland took a point off them in Germany and could have even won had it not been for that wee ginger guy from Stirling.
When brazil won the world cup versus sweden in sweden (copyright a mcinally) they wore a green shirt
pfayr
I change the channel
Won’t tolerate the little runt annoying me
Delbhoy 20.55
You know I think your the first person to have posed that question, re Pele scoring, I does look a bit dubious, and would he have gotten a game before Henrik Larsson?
HH
praecepta
I read many moons ago about a player that had consistent knee trouble,he went to the dentist to get his wisdom tooth removed and ????no more knew trouble, almost sure it was garincha.
2;4 million for Hooper plus 1mill in wages accept 5million? Thats not good biz imo!!
greenyin,
I would have sworn that they wore blue in the 1958 WC Final.
It looked blue on my telly !!
Brazil goal disallowed for offside
BBC commentary ready to tear apart dodgy call before remembering all the officials are English

Players can only really be judged in their own generation, over the duration of their career.
>>>>>
I agree to a certain extent about players in certain generations but pele was in a league of his own.
just had a wee look at pele’s wiki….92 hatricks…..
Did you see that wee guy playing in his bare feet? What a player!! Hope our scout was watchin??
jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/

Or get £0 if he stays but doesn’t sign new contract. Last year of a player’s contract and it becomes a buyers market, January was probably optimum transfer fee we would have got for him.
jude2005 is neil lennon \o/

Hahaha…..Ian Livingston is a GHOOD MHAN, and that’s what counts….!!

Played 50 times for Brazil – only once on a losing side!
He had spinal defects and one leg shorter than the other – played for 20 years +10 years in friendlies/ exhibition matches – Brazil never lost a game when he and Pele were on the pitch at the same time.

That was Cowdenbeath,

Guys, I disagree about Hoops.
These mad mental cash rich English middle / low ranking teams will go to any lengths to get their man.
That’s why in an auction with the 3 quoted clubs we could get IMO £10m if we get it right.
If £4/£5m is the optimum fee , we should say to Gary, look mate, cards on the table, stay another year, help us get to the Champions League again and u can leave for nowt next summer.
The Champs league money would far outweigh the transfer fee lost.
Former Hearts Chairman has just said (on SSN “…AND I’M SURE THEY’LL (BDO) WILL LOOK AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SOME GOOD, SOUND AND RESPECTABLE OWNERS AS FAR AS THE FUTURE IS CONCERNED.” ……now, I wonder who / what he was alluding to ……hahahahahahahahahahahahaha?….!!!!!!!!
Evening all
Just in – reading stuff about best player.
Leaving aside Jinky and Danny McGrain whom I genuinely think were the best players I ever saw in their positions I try to leave our players as I saw out of discussions. I would say the best I saw in the flesh was Maradonna in 79 – years away from his peak but magnificent and certainly
superior to Cruyff ( better when he
was old when I saw him), Zidane or Baggio whom I did at or near their peaks. I saw Georgie Best in 1969 and aside from Pat Stanton he was the only person who could keep his feet on a foul night. Ronaldinho was terrific at CP in 2004 and the best defenders I saw in Paradise were Cafu and Maldini.
I never saw any of the great Brazilians or Beckenbauer in the flesh . Pele was fabulous but Gerson , Rivellinho, Falcao and the peerless Socrates were all great to watch .
Oh and Gunter Netzer at Wembley in 72. Almost as good as Murdoch!
Jimbo
Messi – great on TV but when I saw him – as Eric Morecambe would say ‘rubbish!’
