I am sure we will see a full strength Celtic team against Inter Milan tomorrow but that doesn’t mean Celtic will be able to overturn their summer form against what will be the best squad of players they have met since facing the same team in the Dublin Cup almost exactly a year ago. Inter will be formidable opponents.
The experimentation of recent weeks will be set aside as Neil Lennon prepares for next week’s enormously important Champions League qualifying game against HJK Helsinki. In particular, we are likely to see a more familiar looking back four and midfield. What happens up front remains to be seen. Celtic have struggled to get into scoring form preseason; the manager will be keen to resolve this, if possible.
Most of all we need a 90 minutes free of elbows in the face and other injuries as the real stuff is only five days away.

God bless ye, Sean
They must cringe to think they’re scrabbling on a fri to try and play div 3 football .. Only that mob would miss the irony. They ll spin it like a euro triumph should they disgracefully be allowed to kick a ball again..
Well we are into the last hour of the normal working week. Any bets on what time the SFA will slip out a statement saying that Sevco/ “The Rangers” has its membership approved?

stephbhoy – There’s this cool new thing called paragraphs…
is this and english lesson or are you attempting to avoid the issues
Anyway, wealth creation doesn’t just “look after the few”.
i beg to differ it most certainly does look after the few, even if we look at the sitaution in britain right now all we see is poor people being hit, working men and women being hit, while fat cats continue to take bonuses for lossing money in the market which in turn hits, you guessed it the working man and woman. i am all for wealth creation, its the distribution part i have an issue with
What’s happened in our society over the last 100 years is that the rich have gotten richer… and the poor have gotten richer. It’s not a zero sum game.
the standard of living has improved for all i agree, the rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten richer? are you sure thats the case, there are many people today working 40, 50, 60 hours a week while living on the breadline struggling to pay for basic things such as heat and food in britain today. yes lifestlye has improve, health has improved and education has improved all to serve a purpose. if money could still be made by putting children down coalmine, it would be so. the gap remains huge between rich and poor and the gap between both groups is growing.
If we want to eliminate starvation, we need to create more wealth across the world. (thumbsup)
what are you talking about the world has never had more wealth in it, fuck you made that point above
re poverty…
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.

Out doing deliveries last night and over the course of the evening 6 different mutants, two of them female, came into the shop sporting ‘5 star’ tattoos.
I had a wry smile to myself thinking of the tortures of laser surgery required to remove one each.
HT-Any takers?
At least if bhoys are pickin’ on ole Philvis they’re leavin’ wee Sally Gunnell alone.

Philvis’ spurious arguments regarding the rich are just a regurgitation of the Utilitarian philosophy of Bentham and John Stuart Mill- that is the spiritual origins of conservatism. Essentially they say all humanity is motivated by is a desire for pleasure and a revulsion for pain, the so-called “Hedonic Treadmill”, hence we can manipulate them by using one or the other for the purposes of creating the greatest good for the greatest number.
We moderns, unfortunately, are still living with the legacy of this over simplistic reductionist ideology of human beings. It has done terrible violence to the human condition. It controls us within the limits of its narrow definition of what it means to be human. Like all philosophies it is an abstraction taken too far and given a reality that it doesn’t deserve. The pendulum of the pain-pleasure conflict/resolution view is like a gun to our heads- if a man has a gun to your head then very little is possible for either of you, the same has to be said of this very simple mechanistic ideology of Utilitarianism.
Conservatism is essentially founded upon a pessimistic view of human nature. We are all evil and so we have to be controlled by a panoply of happiness based on pleasure and if need be, punished with pain, when we are not obeying our rational pleasure principle. But this view has kept us animal, makes and keeps captive as children, seeking little trinkets of pleasure and smacked if we transgress what are perceived to be the limits of civil discourse.
All ideologies exclude certain human capacities and include others and this is normally based on whatever capacities reinforce and improve the likely confirmation of that ideology.
What we need is a deep and comprehensive vision of humanity based on a wider perception of our manifold capacities, akin to early Greek direct participatory Democracy, but transfigured for the conditions of time, place and people that make up the modern human condition.

and another thing see when the free market fails its o.k well just go demand money from the government. thats from the people. how many times has the free market failed and required a bailout, or top up or whatever.
i love all that stuff ‘the poor have never had it so good’, are you having a laugh have you ever known poverty. why is it that so many people think poor people are running about with the best of everything, its simply not true and if someone who is not working happens to have a nice pair of shoes they say ‘told you so’.

I believe a comment was made about millions starving in Yemen and not some thug chav, who would be up to no good no matter how much money they had.
You really need to put the big brush away…
Bada
Not yet it may be later tonight that I can let you know for sure if that’s ok?
ernie
That really made me laugh aloud!
BTW I only saw your reply of ‘nonsense’ relating to my comment about the war in Spain much later, so apologies for not replying.
Still think, in part, I’m correct though. Another time maybe.
Wealth creation did not distribute wealth to the needy in this or any country it was a long hard struggle my many brave individuals that lead to changes in our society that enable the distribution of the wealth. The market is not there to ensure the most needy have a means of access to wealth, the welfare system does that. The market does not help the ill get well, the NHS does that. These things came about because people fought, and some died, for the right to have access to the wealth that was being created. Markets give able people the oppertunity to gain access to wealth through hard work, not everyone is able. A measure of society is how we treat those who are not able.
I assume there are some on the wind up here, but thumbsup doesn’t cut it when talking about the desperate needs of people past and present.

Sally Gunnell thinks that philvis is right…extremely so.
She also said that Tom McKean tried to lumber her in 1989 but fell at the first hurdle.
HT-No bother mate,will ask on here if you don’t need it HH

hearin Whytey to light the torch
anybody else heard that ?

Philvis:
1) Man has infinite wants
Your much celebrated Laissez faire individualism feels to either recognise this fact nor regulate itself accordingly to appreciate that fundamental reality. If we do not regulate infinite desire in a world of limited finite resources then we are stuffed.
The explosion of mercantilism coincided with the abandonment of the Catholic notion that usury was both morally evil, as a debt accelerator, and illegal will eventually lead to the complete destruction of nature- what’s more the rejection of Catholic values also saw a movement away from the moral regulation inherent in the religious practice of repentance and modesty.
Without any gears and levers to control the human ego’s infinite desires we are inevitably lost in Daedalean labyrinth of self annihilation.
Definitely away tae walk the dug this time.
Are The Olympics on?…….ffs
Bomber Brown lighting the torch

Don’t think too many rich people died during any famine …… They would be able to afford other sources of food……. Poverty doesn’t cause problems with the crops etc ……but poor people are the victims since they don’t have an alternative source of food……

You don’t think these signings might just be a cunning ruse do you?
Sevco refuse to accept ongoing punishments so the SFA refuse a licence, then Sevco says “look at who we were going to sign as well!”
What time do the SFA finish on a Friday?
67Heaven..,
I suppose we can also say, when there is plenty yet we watch people die of starvation, then wealthy are only responsible for turning their back
SFA hoping to bury news that they have caved in on stripping of titles under Olympics overkill by media.
