I’m not going to laugh at results against Luxembourgers or Lithuanians – it’s not so long since Gibraltarians bloodied the nose of a team who went on to become invincible treble winners. Scottish clubs have a long history of pitching up in June and July wholly unprepared for European football.
These results only retain the ability to concern if they are not resolved by remarkably improved performances. Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic grew in stature last summer until they became a competitive Champions League team in the autumn. Others may do the same this season.
What will be clear long before the lottery of the European play-off rounds, is where the gaping chasm exists in Scottish football: are Celtic our only team competitive in Europe, or is there at least one other?
Neither you nor I care who competes in the Europa League, but failure there if Celtic progress to the Champions League will compound an already acute challenge for the Scottish also-rans.

Just read a piece there, Boyata commenting on Musonda, the young fella was at CP for the match against St Johnstone on 6th of May. He liked what he saw apparently, style of play etc. Brendan says we have been trying to put the deal in place for his transfer target since January. Musonda was recalled to Chelsea from his loan at Betis in January.The pieces seems to add up. Here’s hoping.
Macjay
Is that your evidence?
Any textual source material?
Or is it just based on YT clips:)

Pedro is being worked by one man , the same man who has been behind every piece of bad publicity on our club , directors and fans for years . I don’t know why the club hasn’t pulled this low life up before this . Scum of the highest order . Anyway I can’t see Pedro being there to long , I will be astounded if mcinnes isn’t in his dream job within a couple of seasons . Finally .stewart Armstrong , is another liam miller scenario in the offing . Mibbes aye , mibbes naw , we will soon know
GLENDALYSTONSILS, the only positive is that the steps were still constructed of wood risers filled with some type of aggregate, and on the rare occasions when they scored in the late 60’s and 70’s a plume of dust would rise choking the bassas.
The one and only time I stood on that terracing was the League Cup final v Partick Thistle :-((((
Macjay and then The Donald:)
Gies peace.
Pathetic nonsense, grow up ffs

Thats just one example of a global trend .
Entryism in Universities.

That`s the image that came to mind after the 7/7 attack.
Sadly , his use of intemperate language in that speech diluted the message.

I hate to be pedantic here but it’s gie’s peace.
One of my Brummy wife’s favourite sayings having been married to me for so long.
This a pity that rivers of blood ended up being rivers of pish
Macjay
Yeah, carry on.
Quoting Enoch Powell to yourself.
You are as transparent as glass.
You are fooling nobody.
Certainly not me.
Grow up.
A man of your age behaving like a fascist loudmouth thug.
Ridiculous
The Donald
What a fecking boring troll you are.
Throwing your sneaky snidey wee barbs about like a cowardly sevconian wretch.
At least change the record once in a while, mix it up a bit, throw a few curve-balls.

A tour de force
Arise , Sir Donald.
I foresee a huge influx of ” refugees ” to Dublin en route to the Northern border.
Big problem on both sides of the border. And perhaps conflict between Dublin and London.
A smart Ireland will Eirexit and join the Atlantic trading partnership with USA and UK.
And a step closer to the reunification of Ireland.
I have confidence that the new Irish premier ( can`t spell Teeshock ) will have the nous to recognise this reality sooner rather than later .
Or perhaps they may wish to continue subsidising Greece.

‘Unwitting Testimony’
Does that mean anything to you smart arse?
Your knickers are showing, pull yer skirt up

==============================================================

I didn`t want to correct TGM `s punctuation.
That`s my excuse.
Apostrophes all present and correct , SAH.
BUF…..I bet that rings a bell eh
Macjay
Punctuation, Ha!
What about ‘Unwitting Testimony’, what’s your view on that?
MacJay
Why dont you ask ‘The Donald’ what he thinks about ‘Unwitting Testimony’:)
Everyday is a Skool Daze day
My best work pal ever is still in tatters.
I finally messaged him this weekend. He is the Bravest of the Brave. What happened to him is the worst ever.
We are so lucky to have what we all have.
This springs to mind .
Why England slept.
Written by John F. Kennedy in 1940 when he was still in college and reprinted in 1961 when he was president, this book is an appraisal of the tragic events of the thirties that led to World War II. It is an account of England’s unpreparedness for war and a study of the shortcomings of democracy when confronted by the menace of totalitarianism.
macjay1.
You keep on keeping on dude.
I know ye take umbrage when I criticise the Jesuits. I can understand that, with you being from that school.
I’m just relaying jibber jabber.
Celtic is Solid…. Solid as a Rock.
Macjay
And what would a fanatic like you know about democracy?
What Enoch or JFK tells you?
That is hardly unbiased.
Be serious.
Peer reviewed source material will suffice.
I will make it easy, Cambridge or Oxford, Yale, Harvard.
Show me some real evidence that backs up your argument, That’s how it generally works, that is the tried and tested methodology.
Lets hear it.
Evidence, not comics
THE GREEN MAN SAYS SACK THE BOARD on 3RD JULY 2017 1:33 AM
Sorry , TGM.
I don`t have the slightest interest in an exchange of insults.
I suspect most of the blog feel the same way.
PETEC on 3RD JULY 2017 1:29 AM
Pete.
I know a fair number of Jesuit educated guys who criticise ” the Jesuits. ”
I don`t have the slightest problem with that .
The current Pope was a Jesuit provincial.
I frankly don`t feel too enamoured with him.
Go for it , pal.

Maximum Respect dude.
You are Solid.
You take all the hits.
The Re-unification of Ireland is definitely close.
The Lisbon Treaty LOL.
The UK will indeed make the Emerald Isle…….. ;))
God bamboozles ALL.
Affoot , lads.
Thanks for the chat.
Macjay
Ive no interest in insulting you, im scrutinising your assertions, and asking you to provide evidence of your claims.
You seem to think its alright to come out with extreme right-wing views.
Its insulting to me actually, that your persist with your ignorant nonsense.
Why should anybody put up with that.
You make wild assertions, people will ask you to prove them.
I see nothing untoward in that.
Macjay
If you cant take it….Dont dish it out.
There is always someone who will call your bluff
If You think you know Anything. Sorry, You know Nothing now unless you speak out.
We are in the Time when Black is White…
Right is wrong.
Wrong is right.
the Triangle has never been inverted…. only dark entities try to do that.
You are CRAZEEEEE Magoooo.
macjay1 is a dude I’d backup because he is old. :P
And because he is Brave Brave undaunted.
I think he is over doing the Kojo respect Howevaaaaah….
Who Am I to question anyone… me bein’ Happy Monday?
Hi all not posted for a long time. I have been lately trying to find out why the seats at Hamdump are coloured red white and blue? Apart from the obvious answer I can’t find the explanation but I’m sure a lot of you smart guys actually know the official reason HH
