A proposed swap deal with Blackburn with Shane Duffy coming to Glasgow and James Forrest heading south makes sense for Celtic. Late last season we were talking about how Erik Sviatchenko was our only solid central defender, with Jozo Simunovic injured and yet to establish himself.
Duffy made his Euro 16 debut in the 1-0 win over Italy, before being red carded for a professional foul against France. I’m not expecting a van Dijk, but his performances in both games was of the standard Celtic only have with Erik.
James Forrest grabbed the space vacated by Aiden McGeady’s move to CSKA Moscow and made the most of the opportunity but injury has inhibited him in recent years. He’s also suffered from being part of what looked like a World Record attempt of squeezing wingers into a 23-man squad. We need fewer wingers and at least one more central defender.
Brendan Rodgers comments that Kris Commons is nowhere near ready for the first team is not encouraging. I’d have him limp to the bench for the forthcoming qualifiers. Even unfit, he’s capable of linking play like no one else in the squad.

Celtic plc have a legal responsibility to the share price. Like it or lump it Celtic FC are part of the company, To argue anything different would give credence to der huns fantasies.
Kris Commons oh dearie me! Should never have had his contract renewed – Ronny never wanted him and rightly so! He was pressured into retaining KC but MOST certainly BR will not and in any case most fans have got over the KC fantasy! Not even a “fit” KC would be considered by BR – we are on a NEW and different mission now! KC will not be the only one surplus to requirements however dignity will prevail and the transition will be executed in a mannerly fashion – after all BR is a perfect gentleman but certainly no FOOL!

Bbc Scotland in 2013
“A football club, once incorporated, is indistinguishable in Scots law from its corporate identity.
“If the club was separate it would need its own constitution, committee members, trustees, etc.
“Rangers Football Club does not have that because it is incorporated.”
Such impeccable logic.
Why not use it when faced with our game becoming a farce?

The BBC have changed their tune as the Tory Govt in England have instructed..
The lily liiered quisling Scots bought and sold for English gold will do as their told, for now at least.

“Celtic plc have a legal responsibility to the share price”.
So why do they allow false claims, ,undermining the Celtic brand, such as Sevco claiming to be in pursuit of title 55, as Scotland’s most successful club, to go unchallenged?

Well, at least HMRC didn’t do as they were told, eh?

Salmond told Sir David Frost, in an interview to be broadcast on Frost over the World on Al Jazeera English: “Obviously HMRC have got to pursue, in the public interest, taxation.
“Equally, they’ve got to have cognisance of the fact that we’re talking about a huge institution, part of the fabric of the Scottish nation, as well as Scottish football, and everybody realises that.
“The most die-hard Celtic supporter understands that Celtic can’t prosper unless Rangers are there.”

Whaddya mean “when it’s proved”?
Side letters were deliberately concealed, meaning players improperly registered, DOS already proved to be illegal.
Guilty of cheating for over 10 years at least, liquidated as a consequence of spending beyond the ability to pay their debts, but heralding the hunt for 55 while no one with clout raises a whimper of protest.
Once bitten, twice shy.
——————————————————————-
As much as I wholeheartedly agree with you, we need a court of law to prove it beyond reasonable doubt.
Never fails to amaze me why supporters of Celtic like ourselves question the motives of Celtic plc/fc when they are legally obliged to act in the interests of sharholders, only that.
Everyone, including my grumpy self, has fixated on Paul’s last paragraph re Kris Commons.
We have all ignored the news of a proposed deal with Jamsie headed south to Blackburn.
A move I would applaud.
James just hasn’t produced the goods in the last season or so, and a move away from Scotlamd could be the making of him.
In the event the swap move doesn’t transpire,
For the remainder of his contract,
I would sit him on the bench.
At the back.
I would relegate him to train with the development squad.
Let him know he is no longer considered a Celtic player.

Mo chara like it or lump it we’re different from the rest. I mean the majority. We want justice, most are just content with the circus to continue
I think guys bothering themselves over Sevco & The Media & Title Claims should relax.
No matter what happens they will always claim to be the same Club, we will always know they’re not and deep down they will know we are right.
Life will go on and what will happen, will happen and getting upset & worried about it, is hurting no one but yourself.
Following a Club like Celtic should be a joy & an Honour. Of course there will be defeats & disappointing days & even seasons but that too is part of life.
If you don’t experience the bad times you won’t really appreciate the good times.
I can honestly say I never thought that in my lifetime Celtic would win 5 in arow, but they have and as the season progresses all will bother me is that 5 becomes 6.
At present however all concerns me is beating the Imps on Wed by at least 2 goals.
I don’t use sweary words normally and I tend to chide those who do but just this time I’ll risk a yellow card by saying clearly, I don’t give a Fuck about Sevco or what they say or do.
My focus is now and always will be about Celtic, if pain comes I’ll take it but Bhoy will I enjoy the good days.
Rant over, I’m off to bed Good Night & God Bless All.

You can forget all about the Hanoverian lily livered Scots Nats quislings wanting anything other than playing the Orange card.
Thanks TEt for your kind comments.Normally I like to talk about Celtic,but I know quite a few are quite keen on politics.This is Turkish politics,so scroll by if you wish.Many of the more informed Middle East,Eastern news outlets are not swallowing the “Coup”stories emanating from the government controlled Turkish media.Really,any one with an ounce of sense can see this was a reverse “Coup”.In one fell swoop,Erdogan has eliminated every person in Turkey,he thought was against him.
To compound that theory,he has now called on the USA to extradite the Cleric Gulen.This guy has met every religious leader in the world,including the Pope,Israeli leaders,Hindu,Sikhs,virtually everyone,to try and find some common ground for peace.He has won a staggering amount of awards for peace.He is probably the most democratic voice in the region,the more reason for Erdogan to want him silencedHe stands for everything Erdogan is against.If anyone thinks Turkey is a democracy,you are sadly mislead.This country,with Erdogan,at its head,should be no where near the EU,but I fear that political pressure will bring that nearer.I saw Kerry today saying the USA will consider the Extradition papers and decide in the future.if Gulen is sent back.This would be the most shameful day in American history,if this should happen.
Forget the BBC,ITN,Sky,no one in the region thinks the Coup was real.All the soldiers were conscripts who were told it was an excercise.No military face off,from an army that Erdogan said were still,75% loyal to him.No Gendarme,no nothing.Only kids who surrendered when they twigged something was not right.Beaten,humiliated ,murdered by the mob when they did so,egged on by Erdogans internet messages.Horrendous.You can see for yourselves.Go onto,”Turkish soldiers after the Coup”Sickening.
Sorry to have taken up much of the page with this,but it is very difficult to get it out on Facebook,or other chanells.Monitored and arrests made.Have a look at the pictures and see Erdogans form of justice.
Corkcelt,
While I agree with you, why do you feel the need to break the blog rules. You made a good impassioned plea for adherence of blog protocol a few days ago. All of us must practice what we preach.
As for Sevco . Having had their misplaced superiority thrust down our throats for years, respectfully I disagree. I want the whole world to know that they are a new club due to the lying, cheating , discriminatory and fraudulent nature of the old clubs existence.
My opinion is simple :- if they claim to be the old club, pay up or shut up.
Hail, Hail.

Yep, 10 in a row will kill them whomever they think they are. Thing is will the Scottish Govt, SFA, Sevco and sadly Celtic plc allow that to happen whatever fairplay dictates?

Yellow card.
Suspended.
Forgotten.
Forgiven.
Just like Bertie’s sending off in Montevideo.
BTW does anyone remember that on our way to lifting everything in 66/67 we scraped a fortuitous draw against a part time Clyde in the semi final?
Just shows. What? I don’t know, except Ronnie Simpson was a great goalkeeper.
SAINT STIVS SAYS SACK THE BOARD on 19TH JULY 2016 12:44 AM
You could always start a subject worthy enough of debate? BaaaaaHH
Oh,FFS.See all the whingers on tonightwanting to have a go at the Board.Give it a F—– rest,will you.We had all this throughout the close season,and the whole of last year.If you dont like it,write to the Board and let them know.Send back your ST book,tell them you wont reknew.
I agree ith everything you say about this Board,but coming on here,incessantly whinging does no good whatsoever.What it does do is spread discontentment throughout the support,which then finds its way onto the pitch.
Organize a protest outside the Stand after a game.I will fly back and stand with you.Just dont keep blocking up the blog with endless whinging,we have heard all before Ad Nauseum.Get behind the team or dont.Stop coming on and telling us “You wont be attending”.Sick of hearing your reasons for not going.
Me,I have no time for this board,and many others.Does not stop me from supporting Celtic.Boards come and go,Celtic will always be there

I find your insights very interesting.
To me , the comparison with Iran `80 and the return of the Ayatollah is striking.
I fear Turkey may be heading along the same road which Iran has taken since then .

Really.You are talking about a maniac who ordered the shooting down of a Russian Fighter Jet that strayed 8 miles into Turkish airspace resulting in Putin now being mortal enemies of Turkey.Bear in mind the Russian jet was supposedly on the same side fighting ISIS.USA will kow tow to him because they need Turkey more than he needs them.Airbases.But you keep on following what Sky News tells you.
