I was slightly miffed at Neil Lennon’s TV comments on Efe Ambrose yesterday, “He can’t cross”, but on reflection, better Neil points out the player’s flaws to the nation than gives him a ringing endorsement. I’d a similar sentiment after Emilio Izaguirre’s dangerous looking forward step against France, which was never in danger of making contact with an opponent, when an ever-unhelpful commentator assured us Izzie, “has that in his locker”. Anyone who has watched him for four years will know he doesn’t.
Based purely on what’s been offered up on UK TV, neither player will be attracting an offer, which is good.
Both Honduras and Nigeria have a difficult task ahead if they are to remain in the tournament beyond the group stage. Fraser Forster’s England also have it all to do. It’s been great for the three of them to get to the World Cup but the sooner they’re home, uninjured, the better.

(H)oof…. that’s poor….. hope you got the trots for that joke….. :)
By the ole bye, if you want to see Scottish Referees acting spontaneously, just look at Brines’ reaction to McCoist’s noising up Neil Lennon. He made a beeline to attack our then manager. That sums them up perfectly.

“I’m expecting a barrage of negativity against Celtic – again because it suits the media’s customer demographic. So predictable…”
Your expectations will, I am certain, be proven correct……which is why I am so against negative posting on CQN.
Of course there will be aspects of CelticFC deserving of condemnation but it can be guaranteed the MSSM will have their teeth into it. No need for us to help them.

The internet has democratised expression of opinion and there’s no way to put the genie back in the bottle – even if we we wanted to. Which I don’t. Everyone has a right to express an opinion – but I think they also a responsibility regards what they post. Some posters seem happy to repeat the same thing every day ad nauseum. I mostly scroll past now. Their “argument” never moves forward – why would I waste my time on them?
On the other hand, there are some intelligent posters who offer interesting perspectives and are willing to engage in debate that involves more than an “I’m right and you’re wrong” argument, usually incorporating some name-calling.
when does the new top become available in the Celtic Shops?

Anyone who is surprised if the SMSM concentrate on the second tier of Scottish football this coming season cannot have spent any time in Scotland.
They came to the conclusion a long time ago, if they needed any persuasion, that the bulk of the population were of another persuasion to the old Timmites, a persuasion indeed which pits them against all things Tim. That bulk has to be appeased at all times. If that means the very denial of reality or constant whataboutery, that is a small price to pay in their eyes. Just look at the anti-Lennon mantra: he brings it on himself to explain away Scotland’s utter shame. Just look at the Act the Scottish Government pushed through to even things up.

Nail on head, my Hoopy friend….
I’ve seen many many pictures of the city I was prowd to be born in but these are the best yet, sent to me by an old friend who like me is an old die hard Glasgow Bhoy, fantastic pictures from North, South, East, and west, and the city centre, and even an old one of the holy ground from the sixties, enjoy them as I did, brought me back some sad and wonderful memories ;)

Celtic have never had an opening day fixture postponed for a money-spinning friendly. It was always the second weekend.

I usually avoid favourites like the plague,and I’ve not been to the bookies yet,but the first four races look set up for them-racing post prices,btw.
There ye are,jinxed them all for you guys to clean up by backing against them!
Ronnie Deila is currently at the Kelvin Way ,seeing off the annual Taxi Drivers Charity outing,think PL is also there.
In order to refrain from any negative Celtic related speak can I suggest for the remainder of the century that only happy clappers (idiots :-) post. No name calling from me.

We have an Independence debate? Is it Independance as my iBone keeps trying to tell me or is it Independence? Discuss.

The SPFL knew Celtic could not use Celtic Park for the first game, and not exactly Celtic’s fault, so why not give us an away game on the opening Saturday?
Agree,the Partick game will now be a midweek game,which doesn’t suit a lot of bhoys who are far travelled

True, but the season is starting a week later than the last two years when we’ve postponed league game scheduled for 2nd Saturday in August to play friendlies. Probably the same again this year.
SPFL don’t even have a sponsor. Did anyone expect the fixtures to be done properly?

We use http://www.inkjungle.com/ Ink Jungle at work.
Got the Canon Pixima fake cartridges and was very impressed – they’re about a quarter the price of the Canon ones and the microchips that get used to display ink levels work on them.
What date is the proposed Dublin Tourney,against Liverpool,Barca and Real? That will be the free weekend
@T,D. check the girl under the Tennents building on the corner……..

Malone Bhoy-thanks mate,was looking for Advent but they don’t do them,cheers anyway HH
Just had an e-mail back from John Paul Taylor, says that the club had highlighted that the first game of the season would likely be postponed on the club website and on his twitter feed. I don’t recall seeing it on the website but I may be wrong.

not a Glasgow Bhoy but remember going in every week…

The first division (or championship) has been a highly competitive league for years.
What’s the difference now?
