Fife, soft tissue and protecting investors

816

A stream of criticism appeared in yesterday’s comments section to greet media coverage of yesterday’s Scottish Cup draw away to Inverness Caledonian Thistle or Dunfermline on 4 February.  Such is our lot (long) after shock cup defeats; remember, these guys literally have to write something.  No one mentioned 1961 so put your money on a trip to Fife next month.

A few moments ago Celtic confirmed Beram Kayal went through his operation yesterday and is now targeting a return to action for preseason.  Irrespective of the circumstances of the incident in which he was injured, Beram’s is another in a long list of soft tissue injuries Celtic players have suffered in recent seasons, a fact which should engage minds at the club.

Rangers issued a really curious statement following the suspension of trading in their shares by the Plus Stock Exchange.  Many Rangers fans have invested thousands of pounds in club shares and bonds, so one would have expected to read the obligatory suggestion from the company that investors take professional advice when addressing the withdrawal of the share disposal service.  Still, at least they didn’t suggest “Rangers Football Club PLC could survive any administration event but feels it would not be the end of the world if it didn’t”.  That kind of comment from those charged to look after their interests really would alarm shareholders.

    Saying more about Guerra, McCoist added: “I don’t like discussing other teams’ players but he’s very good. We’ve been watching a lot of games. Valladolid are going well in the second tier in Spanish football and he has been battering in all sorts of goals. He is someone else’s player and it wouldn’t be fair of me to say much more than that, but he is a top player.”

  2. From Rangers Media (appropriately censored)

     

    “I have seen tons of photies of Craig Whtye where he looks every part the businessman that he is, but every time I’ve looked at a story about him recently in the record (online version), they have dug up one where he looks like he’s no the full shullin.

     

    It may seem petty to bring it up, but how petty are they pr*cks for pulling a childish stunt like that (there is no way its been in that amount of times and no been intentional).

     

    I’d expect that kind of sh*te from a teenage tarrier on that facebook thing, and no matter that I know the record loves a wee dig, I never thought they would go to that depth……F*ckin complete arseholes, I can just imagine them saying its a real hoot every time they put it up (professionals ma arse). “

    Sneaky Sally……

     

     

    McCoist added: “I don’t like discussing other teams’ players but he’s very good.

     

     

    WELL APART FROM……

     

     

    ‘But he (Sandaza) is just one of a number of players and forwards that I am really interested in.’

     

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/

     

     

    “He [Dorrans] is a player I like,” McCoist, who admits he does not know whether a deal would be possible, told the Sunday Mail.

     

     

    McCoist rates Allan as one of the best rising stars in the SPL and when asked if he was interested said: “Absolutely, of course we would be interested. I’ve seen Scott play a good few times, for his club and two or three times with the Scotland Under-21s. express.co.uk

     

     

    they dont call me Sneaky Sally fur nuffin’ so they don’t.

    I always thought the camera never lies. If they want a picture of him looking every part the businessman that he is then he would need a mask and a stripy jumper. How deluded are they?

    So Fatty doesn’t like talking about other teams players BUT….

     

     

    I don’t like talking about the weather but its dour,driech and drab down here at bog end park.

     

     

    He’ll be back on Question a Sport this time next year.

  6. Took this paragraph from the DR.

     

     

    Allan, 20, said: “As a fan it might seem strange not to look at the chance of going to Rangers but I was never told they had made an official bid.

     

     

    Why are we not surprised that no official bid was made.

  7. Monaghan – I think that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Now that the penny is starting to drop for the huns, any picture of Whyte would start to reflect the gormless charlatan he actually is an a subconscious way.

     

    In a similar way I always think that when I see the picture of a convicted paedophile they always seem to look like a nonce. (Papac always reminds me of one) – CQN disclaimer – no suggestion at all that he is an offender, he’s probably a lovely guy.

    Looking at the stories linking Ki with Man Utd.

     

    They seem to all be based on internet rumours. There has been no mention of this down here.

     

    Do not think they are interested in him now. I reckon they need the finished article in midfield. They have a top youngster in Cleverley.

    Good Morning,

     

     

    From a clear new day in central Scotland.

     

     

    You know, I am really a pretty stupid man! Well maybe stupid is not exactly the right word– dumb might be appropriate — or blind– or daft or whatever.

     

     

    Last night, I made one of my usual nonsensical posts and started it with a question– what would your dream job be?

     

     

    Later, I got the chance to read back and as sometimes happens CQN ( or really my fellow Celtic fans on CQN )give you a right good and well deserved kick up the backside. In short, I was reminded that I already have the “Dream” job– and so do many of you!

     

     

    The Job Title?

     

     

    Being dad! or mum! It doesn’t matter either way!

     

     

    The news from Knoxy about Oscar’s progress just blows all the other mince about things down Govan way and all that stuff out of the water.

     

     

    This morning, I have woken up to a text that has asked me to do something for someone I have never met, but the text was specifically sent to me because the sender knows that I post reasonably regularly on this site.

     

     

    It was also sent in the full knowledge of the reach of this site and the nature of those who read the posts.

     

     

    Below, I attach a link to a just giving site. It is for a site related to a wee girl called Vanessa.

     

     

    http://www.justgiving.com/vanessa-appeal

     

     

    Vanessa, has undergone a long course of Chemotherapy and other treatment in relation to a rare cancerous condition. It had been thought that this was successful.

     

     

    Alas you will see from the site that December brought a relapse and now all hope rests with pioneering treatment that can only be concluded in the USA. Whilst there may be some help with this, in the main the necessary money will have to be privately raised. In part the sums raised will be used for Vanessa’a treatment, but part will also be used to hopefully further the research which will help make this condition a thing of the past and alleviate the suffering of other children and their families.

     

     

    So this is an appeal for your money. I realise that money is not easily come by, but even as little as a pound can make all the difference. This site apparently gets something like 640,000 unique hits. £1 from each would more than achieve the target.

     

     

    In the space of a few hours last night over £10,000 was raised. But time as much as money is of the essence here so if anyone can do anything at all it will be greatly appreciated.

     

     

    As I say, I have been asked to write this precisely because someone knows I post on CQN, and it is recognised that it is precisely this type of thing that the Celtic family are good at and have at their core.

     

     

    I appreciate that there are many other causes to fund and be considered and I respect that totally.

     

     

    However if you can give something it may mean the difference between a wee girl living and not.

     

     

    Christy Moore sings a line that is stuck in my head:

     

     

    ” When you look into a Child’s face, you are seeing all the human race

     

    Of all the possibilities there, of what a child can do………”

     

     

    If you can give that would be great, if not thankyou for taking the time and trouble to read this.

     

     

    Remember too to give blood for Oscar and, that for the rest of us, each and every day presents just another opportunity.

     

     

    I will send this out by twitter as well and if you have a twitter account then please retweet.

     

     

    Many many thanks for your time and all the best in Celtic.

     

     

    Brogan

  10. McCoist is an embarrassment. I hope he continues to talk about players he wants & continues to be knocked back and made a fool of.

    “end of”

     

     

    Ah jist said to him yada yada yada “end of “

    —–

     

     

    Aye, we had a wee wummin in here, nice lady but had an awful habit of dropping into sentences the same two phrases, “at the end of the day”, and “the thing about it is”. Also had to use the non-word “thingamy” on several occasions during the working day.

     

     

    She’s no longer with us however. We done her in…

     

     

    …and made her retire. :-)

    Ramie, I was there doing my second year Electrical studies in 86, A lot of hertz and hun fans esp when we won the league in the final day at St Mirren. Used to love the kickabouts in the small park behind the college. Happy days then, no ties, family etc. haha

  15. My [bitter] wee auntie used to live in Foyers Terrace.

     

     

    When I was old enough my cousin used to take me for a beer in the bar at the top of the hill.

     

     

    My uncle, who was a decent sort, was a foreman in one of the big railway works, when they were there. He would take me to see Celtic, even though he didn’t support them, and probably didn’t much like football.

  16. glendalystonsils on

    Guerra is a player Sally is “interested in”

     

     

    Christina Hendricks is a date I’m “interested in”

     

     

    A Ferrari is a car I’m “interested in”

     

     

    A mansion in the Carribean with swimming pool and private plane

     

    to take me there is something I’m “interested in”.

     

     

    We are both equally likely to have our dreams come true……

  19. The curious part of Mc.Coist’s transfer strategy, is the speculation around Sandozy signing a pre- contract.

     

     

    If there is any truth in this, why would a player sign a contract, for next season, when, apparently, nobody knows where Rangers will be playing.

     

     

    If this deal does go through, would that mean that they have been assured of SPL football ?

    if i ever hear Sneaky Sally say, again, any of the following lines…..

     

     

    ” well to be honest with you”

     

     

    “if im being honest”

     

     

    “…. to tell you the truth”

     

     

    i’ll start believing him….maybe :)

  21. There’s a guy in my work that regularly says when talking to me

     

    “do you know what I’m sayin?”

     

     

    I annoy him by replying everytime he says it

     

     

    “Yes, as you are speaking English, and it is my native language I do know what your saying.”

     

     

    He pauses briefly, gives me a strange look, then carries on…….do you know what I mean? :))

  22. Ciao——

     

     

    Ki to Manchester United ?——-

     

     

    Italian media claim that Manchester United are attempting to buy Udinese’s excellent midfielder Asamoah.

     

     

    Same people have Udinese’s excellent Moroccan defender -Benatia -signing for Manchester United, Chelsea, AC Milan , Juventus and [ of course ] cash rich Paris Saint Germain.

     

     

    Lovely day , not a cloud in the sky -way down south.

  23. Glendaly tonsils- just had an e-mail from Christina H.

     

     

    She feels the same way about you, but her feelings are purely physical.

     

     

    You’ve to let her know if you’re still interested..

  24. The Battered Bunnet on

    From the BBC

     

     

    “I’ve slept with 300 women but I want to stop”

     

     

    Can I recommend Mythomaniacs Anonymous?

     

     

    “Hi, my name is Elvis, and I’m a liar”

     

     

    “LIAR!”

  25. Morning bhoys, the sun is out, still cool but hun free as ever.

     

     

    I would doubt that the hun will sign nobody this window, I would also doubt they will sell anybody, the football world knows of their plight and no club will pay anything up front in the knowledge they could get the players for a knock down price, or free in the next month or so.

     

     

    Snyde was good last night, I wonder why it’s not available for download yet, wee Dawell said too much me thinks, especially the bit about players not getting paid.
