Final deck clearing for deadline day

1075

The day has arrived, 31 August, on a Champions League season, but news has been slow (in general) or there has been no news (at Celtic) so far.  Pity help those who were not busy this morning and have burned through a packed of antacids.  Deadline day reveals human nature in all its glory.

Last night Ipswich Town agreed a deal to take Daryl Murphy, whom they had on loan last season and the final six months of the previous season.  Daryl would have been keen to bring his Celtic uncertainty to an end (he is out of contract when this loan period at Ipswich expires) as he has clearly enjoyed more success in the English Championship.

We didn’t see the best of Daryl but it’s good news Celtic were prepared to release him.  He would surely have been retained if there was not a good chance of recruiting a replacement.  No promises, of course!

Stay tuned throughout the day.  If we have another ‘Robbie Keane Day’ when the CQN server takes a battering I’ll update the Facebook page and Twitter.

    Just came onto blog mate and seen your point , was only asking a simple question not questioning your opinion . Will read back to get the full picture but don’t think I’ll respond as getting my support of Celtic questioned does nothing for me .

    What’s the cheapest flights anyone has found to Barcelona? Flights were originally £78 after the draw and now around quadruple that.

     

     

    Cheapest Iv found is Edinburgh to Madrid on the Monday Night, over night bus to Barcelona then train back to Madrid on the Wednesday, about £200 all in

    spiers is complicit inb the scam to keep sevco in the limelight, he finds people who refer to them as sevco tiresome.

     

    He like all huns refuses to accept the truth continuies to try and keep the waters muddy for the stupid.

     

     

    I couldn’t AGREE more………………………

     

     

    He is SO hurting at this moment in time………………….

    Rumour that we’ve been contacted by Ryan Babel’s people. Might just be to force ajax’s hand but then again…

    I’d only be throttling him and taking the ticket to pass on to someone else, I cannae get to the away games in Europe :-(

    Ha, not at all. I think that you’re madder than a box of frogs, seek attention like McCoist seeks buns and couldn’t spot a player if he booted a Mitre 5 off yer dome.

     

     

    But apart from that yer ok I suppose :-)

  9. Andoni Zubizaretta, Barcelona director of football talking about us

     

     

    “the Scottish team doesn’t need to be defined, they are a historic team in the world of football. They have such great passion for the sport”.

     

     

    He knows his stuff that Zubizaretta :D

  10. anyone know of any cheap airlines / ferrys that go to lisburn for the champs lge

     

    game ?

    Iv spent the whole morning trying to find the cheapest way to get to either Lisbon or Barcelona but thus far to no avail, debating whether or not to fork out circa 300 quid to go

  12. gregorythegreat

     

     

    I recently got the train Madrid to Barcelona and I thoroughly recommend it. Clean, fast and not too expensive. It’s a good option.

    If the Barca/Girona flights have shot up, consider flying to Perpignan instead. It’s a two hour mellow coach ride or drive down to Barca, and Perpignan is a great town for a night out. You might even enjoy the madness of the Dali museum at Figueres on the way back if you fancy a little surrealuity.

     

     

    Carcasonne similarly, with an added 30 minutes driving.

  15. To be fair to Gary Hooper, the reason that he was caught on the “wrong foot” for Watt’s cross, was that he was coming away from the goal, in an effort to remain onside.

     

     

    Tony fired in an early cross, which caught Gary facing the wrong way.

     

     

    It wasn’t laziness or being “asleep”.

    think there ferries from southampton or portsmouth to lisbon, pals used it for seville, long time ago but worth a look

    I’d keep Stokes, certainly for just now, we’re thin enough on the striker front as it is.

    Anyone think Stokes will be moved on today?

     

     

    He’s out injured until the end of October, so i’d say very unlikely. If Watt keeps impressing and any new signings settle in he’ll probably be off in January

    just cannot believe the amount of fans wanting tony stokes sold

     

    the bhoy is out injured ffs

     

    without his 17 goals last season the league may not have been won

     

    there is more than enough room for 4 + strikers with the number of games coming up

    I was correct then, it was the Barrhead factory on Addelaide st in Brisbane. Sorry I thought you knew the name of the factory.!!!

    In reference to your actions speak louder than words point , I burst my MSP’s nut with continually questioning his party’s position on this legislation via email over several months . Eventually informing him that he and his party’s position left me with no option but to withdraw my support of his party at any future elections including the Independance issue as I felt I could no longer trust them .

     

    I actually agree with you about standing up for what you believe in , especially in regards to Celtic , it’s supporters and the way we are treated in this country .

  23. Re Barca game away.

     

     

    Have booked flights and hope to meet/catch up with some of you out there:)

     

     

    Re tickets do Barca season ticket holders still ‘hire’ their seats out to tourists etc on a game-by-game basis?

     

     

    Used to be the case that you’d approach a guy outside, agree the price and he would then escort you and your party in to the ground and to your seat!
