Don’t limp home, omni-shamble contagion

696

There’s always a bit of trepidation before Celtic play a meaningless game, like they will do in Turkey tomorrow, the propensity to pick up injuries feels higher, although this is possibly not borne out by statistics.

Before Sunday the team look like they needed a break but no injuries, please.

It’s been a long time since I’ve heard allegations that some or other council are controlled by, and for the benefit of, an ethnic or religious minority.  This is an old-time prejudice, up there along with allegations of criminality or the personal hygiene habits of the minority.  But like Corporation buses, they come in groups.

Anyone can report Celtic for whatever they like, and believe me, many do.  Which is a great pity, as there are real targets worthy of attention elsewhere…..  For years, while others were buying football bling, Celtic were acquiring land, all appropriately, as is their borrowing.  More importantly, they have been able to establish all of this without question. Confirmed.

Just because one club was an omni-shambles doesn’t mean any others are.  Enjoy the laugh.

    Morning to all Celtic supporters Transfer windows are very strange football clubs in the early weeks dont seem to do a lot then in the last few days you can get frantic activity I dont know what that says about forward planning?There are plenty of rumours about who celtic are interested in but with little substance it could be we are waiting to see what happens with Joe Ledley and Sammi before we move but it really is a funny old game.H.H.

  2. daviel –

     

     

    That’s what we all love about CQN. There’s always an expert in a particular field ready to post their expertise when it is relevant and necessary.

     

     

    Thank you for your contribution my friend.

     

     

    Superb stuff.

  3. Joe – Funny old game indeed, but do you think either or both of them need to go for a fee before that cash can be re-spent? Is fresh money really going to be available in any kind of quantity?

  4. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    ABZMike. Thats an interesting question in my opinion there is a bit of both to it, they have a certain amount to spend and probably want to spend that on a striker.Any other money they wish to spend they to may have to be generated from player sales.However,thats is only my opinion. H.H.

  8. John Carew recommending Johansen to Villa….

     

     

    Now John Carew recommends that former club Aston Villa take a close look at Johansen in January.

     

    “Well Villans, we should defo take a closer look at midfielder Stefan Marius Johansen, would be a good Addition to our team. Player Of The Year back home, young, heart of a lion, duracell rabbit with tekken, humble and hardworking, “writes the former Villa striker on Twitter .

  9. Catman supports Wee Oscar on

    Happy 50th ACGR.

     

     

    I will join you later this year as will the rest of our “old” classmates

  10. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    ABZMike. I agree with you I would assume 5million is our total budget for this window and is not likely to be spent on one player. That is why Lennie is saying he could spend that on a striker but he didnt say he would. H.H.

  11. Tom @ 9.11

     

    Totally agree. many say we are all ” entitled ” to our opinions but , for me , the real worth of CQN is, as you said, the very well informed posts which do so much to enlighten us on matters of which we very little or no knowledge. DavieL being the latest of many to offer this much appreciated service.

    PS Can I echo what Macjay1 said earlier? Let`s try hard to come together as Celtic supporters in the face of such biased reporting as the latest Land buy nonsense from the BBC.By all means criticise Celtic if you havea genuine grievance but no need to repeat that criticism ad infinitum. Happy New Year ,Kev 0:-)

    Oh dear Lord what have I done?

     

     

    I’ll try without the uppercase excitement. After all it’s too early for that kind of thing. facts

  21. Here we are I another transfer shambles window

     

    Offers for a center half of maybe 10m

     

    What’s the point. We have no strike force and we would then lose our defence

     

    Go on Peter. Try it and see what happens mate

     

    We have had enough of you. We brought in about 17m in the summer and team has gone backwards

     

    You spent ( yes Peter lawell did not Neil )about 7 on three dross projects ( Balde. Pukki and derk)

     

    Time for you to leave our club

    Yes, the final bit was for you but, as the 0:-) indicated, there was no malice intended.

     

    As regards certain cages needing rattled on a daily basis. You might be right but the SAME cage ?

     

     

    Cheerio for now

  24. SydneyTim who of our current U-20,s do you think will make the breakthrough to the 1st team? Who would you sign this transfer window? Hail Hail Hebcelt

    If it was me I would realise that our bench and players in stand are costing a fortune

     

    I would free up about 5 or 6 players

     

    Bangura. Pay his contract out and kick him out door

     

    Pukki. Get him out on loan he will never be a 1st 11 player

     

    Or sell him. Same as derk and Balde

     

    Sammi. Bye mate. 7 or 8 games in 4 years. No thanks

    We see through you?: You are a small minded SNP hater and you continue to fail to mention that we will be voting for or against independence: not voting for SNP. For us fholk who live here freezing the council tax has been very significant, particularly if you are finding it difficult dealing with all the Social Security cuts.Your Labour of Bambi Blair and Lord Jack McConnell helped to bleed us dry. The bastion of democracy that Labour promised to get rid off: The House of Lords grew greatly under Labours tenure.

     

    How can you think for a second that what we have is beneficial to Scotland astonishes me. We have no control over monetary policy. No say in defence. No say in Europe or the world. Our fishing grounds are bargained away to let London benefit.

     

    Why only this week Boris Johnson said a pound spent in London is better than a pound spent in Strathclyde.

     

    Trouble is the no vote means no one in Scotland will win. Not even in their petty minded hatred can Labour possibly think we will be better of under London control.

     

    The Yes vote isn’t about Nationalism, it’s about breaking away from the control of London. Getting rid of the stranglehold London has over us.

     

    Let us see a new start. Let us see Self-Determination within an Independent Scotland.

     

    I think it’s 59 countries that has left the control of London: not one wants to come back.
