Celtic play their fifth and final preseason friendly tomorrow before Tuesday’s Champions League qualifier in Armenia. Five games feels light. Legs will still be tired after each game, the prospect of 90 minutes in extreme heat will not be welcome.
Opponents Alashkert will have played only three preseason games before facing Celtic, each against lower league Russian opponents, so while they will cope better with the heat, their underlying fitness will not be better than Celtic’s.
In theory, Tuesday’s game should be welcomed as an opportunity to increase preparedness before the tougher challenges that lie ahead. But this is football in July, when normal rules do not apply, as Lincoln Red Imps demonstrated two years ago.
Loved the lack of logic in Dave King’s written response to BBC’s Alasdair Lamont’s question on the Takeover Panel’s Contempt of Court proceedings. “The [Takeover Panel] know that I live in [South Africa] and that it will require exchange control approval to move the funds to London. They are just bullying me”.
The Takeover Panel’s rules (which exist for everyone) that an offer has to have proven funds in the UK is not an actual impediment. If King’s funds were not in the UK, he would be unable to pay for the shares three weeks after the offer is made.
Takeover Panel rules merely bring the date cash is required forward by three weeks. Still, I am sure this talk of bullying will make the Takeover Panel think twice before crossing King again.
This guy is beyond brilliant. He is behaving like this openly. You know how it ends.

Pleased with that result and the earlier one, two really good teams go through.
Football as it should be.
This is definitely one of the great games.
DB has a broad grin on his face. Hope they give him another game.
Bye bye Neymar, ya wee cheatin pygmy bassa.

Great World cup! Thats all the Latino cheating scumbags out! ha ha ha
Both teams have great individual players, but I think the better team won

Your being a tad dramatic.
No one was injured on the decapitation event.
Refs have often used discretion not to award penalties when ball was going out of play anyway.
Even if he had not been touched the Brazilian would not have got to the ball.

Could be.
If you had a big note on over 3.5 goals in the game, maybe you’d be a tad dramatic yerself.

Correct scores today.
Vive la France.
Any CQN cyclists pass taymouth today ?
I said cmon the hoops to two Celtic attired hard working Bhoys today.

I think Neymar is about 5’9” or 10” … so not sure he is a Pygmy … but the rest you got right
?
Ps … think it was a penalty … but thems the breaks
Uruguay Argentina Colombia Portugal cheating Spain Brazil and Mexico cheating scumbags.

Great day you gave us Glesca bhoys in Rock. God bless the Belfast Brigade.

I take your point.
Hail Hail.
50% of the dodgy Celtic defence are still at the World Cup.
Clear penalty Kompany is on his shin with the ball clearly 6inches in play. Can’t understand that and would love to hear an explanation by the decision makers. Great to see Neymar out he sullied the game with his cheating, would be a far better player if he would just cut it out. Delighted for Belgium.
Modric, debruyne and Kante … maybe the three best midfielders … not a coincidence that their teams are still in it
Has the WC final ever been contested between 2 teams that have already met in the group stages?

2006 was an all European semi finals. Italy v Germany, France v Portugal
Hope its a new name on the WOrld Cup. Belgium v Croatia final.
Very good performance from the Belgians, so, so happy to see that cheating, diving, scumbag, nyaf, naymair on the losing side.
It was a pen all day long, tough.
I reckon Mrs TET is gonna be right with Belgium.
Mags
A French victory v Croatia would suit me. Two best fitba teams out the 6 left.
Great to see Belgium go through to the Semis. As per…
We will see the real final earlier in the Tournament…
My youngest sent me a” Joke”…
A Scotsman, an Irishman and a Welshmen walk in to a Bar….
There’s normally an Englishmen…
…but he was at the World Cup!!
He’s no too big for a slap…
so all I need to know is whose the biggest
An Tearman, Bada or Vogue Punter?
It’s interesting that there has been quite a few posts suggesting that Dave King will get away with IT?1
Now of course I don’t mean anything derogatory by this – it’s just an observation, my guess is those that hold that view have…
feint knowledge of how the City of London operates
have not read the Takeover Panel, Hearings Committee’s recent ruling
Things work differently in Scotland… let me give you an example…
Alasdair Lamont talked of a feud and text – verbatim – Dave King’s statement, without comment.
Now in England when Tommy Robinson was done for contempt – the BBC Correspondent added some analysis…
Why contempt of court matters?
By Dominic Cascianin, BBC home affairs court ruling correspondent
Contempt of court is the crime of ignoring the court and its constitutional role in making sure that justice is done.
The piece continued with specifics on that case… not particularly relevant..
Yet it seems like DC’s approach is different from Alasdair’s. It seems to me that AL should have a word with Dominic… maybe he’s got an anti-fascist bent but the way he puts it makes makes this contempt of court thing sound serious… Alasdair should tell him it’s NOT a crime, it’s a feud…
Hail Hail
