Celtic were looking for a right back throughout the second half of last term, but in the early weeks of his tenure, Brendan considered Mikael Lustig and Saidy Janko sufficient for the season ahead. Mikael is four years into a successful Celtic career but his fitness issues are of a persistent nature. We’ve reached Peak Swede.
Saidy missed lot of last season, also through injury, but he showed potential in his early outing this term. Aspirations for the lad crystallised in Israel last week, but not in a good way. I’m not going to defend him, because he was unquestionably poor, but agreement only exists on his poor showing because he was prepared to receive the ball so often. Not everyone in black that night was as keen to get on the end of a pass.
That opened the door for Cristian Gamboa, 26, second choice right back for West Brom. We’re very keen, apparently. West Brom manager, Tony Pulis, is less in need of a full back whose key attribute is getting forward at speed. Horses for course, I suppose, West Brom face different challenges than Celtic.
Two rumours have circulated this week: Celtic are looking for a midfield player and James McCarthy’s position at Everton is less secure than it was a year ago. Whoever has been linking these two facts has overreached – or made them up. Celtic have no idea where this one came from but were clear, there’s nothing in it. Getting the right midfielder remains a task in hand, but usual caveats apply. There are no guarantees we’ll land all our targets this summer.

Till later all.
So. Simunovic aside, have Celtic made any net investment ?

Doesn’t really matter, since BR is getting the players he wants.

The ones in the goals are probably new – it seems we’re expecting to score a lot of goals next week ;)
So I take it that it is looking unlikely that the midfield will be Schweinsteiger, Wilshire, Hernanes and Roberts????

Also meant to ask – is WEST END OF EAST END your location in Glasgow?
You’re correct about tone etc lost in a blog, we’ve leave it at that and hopefully move on to discussing our latest signing…
No, tail of the bank, Greenock, in house joke with the Mrs as she was brought up that side of town…
A quid says if Simunovic stays and plays well, those who want shot of him will still scab pick with him.
I mean, how good can he actually be? He did get out muscled once by a player who went on to sign for the huns.

Sorry your moniker came out wrong in my previous post I appreciate your apology.
I’m a plumber to trade not a wordsmith so defending myself in third person is way above my intelligence.

Twist and turns kill ultra Tony Donnelly BMCUW thank you for your kind words of support
Not a problem and it was none of my business, but bullying in any way form or manner is not on as far as I’m concerned, I had to say something, the pack where all over you and your friends KU, it was actually cringingly awkward if I’m being perfectly honest.
Seems to be sorted now and that’s a good thing, best of luck and keep healthy.

Brendan Rodgers still keen on James McCarthy for Celtic. 50/50.
“So. Simunovic aside, have Celtic made any net investment ?”
Didn’t we sign a goal tender with a burds name recently or somert? :)

I think everyone who is going to the Hootenanny should wear a Celtic Tap ‘n Scarff just to prove they are Tims.
I remember the first time I met anyone from the Blog.
I had put out an invite on here for 3 golfers to join me at my home course Linlithgow.
The first 3 replies came from MWD, BJMAC and GOLDSTAR10.
On the day of the meet my wee daughter warned me of the potential dangers of meeting strangers off the internet.
You’ve been warned!
(I wonder how BJMAC and GOLDSTAR10 are doing – Any one know?)
I know MWD is doing good!

You have made repeated attacks on some very well respected and long standing posters on here. One is BRTH. You state that you have evidence on your laptop which will make us all re-think things re Res12.
—————-
Your position is that BRTH is a plant for CelticPLC who was put into Res12 to make sure it failed.
You claim to be a Celtic supporter. If you are and you have such evidence on your computer what is your intention regarding this material and why would a Celtic supporter not share this with his fellow supporters?
You said you did not contribute to the various newspaper initiatives which I organised and crowd funded on here. If you have this evidence you could have saved us all a great deal of time and money by revealing it.
———-
I’ve been trying to make my views known since it became clear that Celtic had thrown the resolutioners (including me) under the proverbial bus in February, when Hibs league challenge had imploded and the Old Firm brand was safely restored. In spite of this knowledge I’m not about to publically reveal material that could be detrimental to the reputation of the club as a whole.
_______________________
You clearly care about this issue. You have written about it on here often and also pursued Auldheid earlier this month over on Scottish Football Monitor before the host there brought the conversation to an end.
——–
WC.The host at SFM brought the conversation to an end because the arguments were becoming circular. There was no suggestion that there was any impropriety on my part.
_____________
If you have evidence why not reveal it? You have attacked a poster of very high standing on here repeatedly. If you are right why not tell us?
If you want to email the evidence to me to review, my email is david@cqnpublishing.co.uk
If you don’t want to do this or if you don;t want to post the evidence on here, as you have been asked to do by the Res12 guys, then what do you hope to achieve?
I think you should tell us?
———————————-
Winning Captains. Without meaning to be disrespectful, I’m not going to furnish you with the material I have. You must realise that, while you may not be compromised through your association with the requisitioners, I will only feel confident of this material being treated sensitively if done through a third party, unrelated to Res12, but someone who has the broader interests of Celtic and Celtic supporters very much at heart.
That’s why I offered ClogherCelt my email address through Canamalar. (My last email correspondence with Canamalar took place on
Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2016 17:41:03 +0100 Subject: Kill Ultra.) I’m sure he still has that email, in spite of what he says.
I also offered to meet to meet Clogher Celt at my home, or wherever, and was disappointed to read (CLOGHER CELT on 31ST AUGUST 2016 10:07 AM) that he has since declined, but that’s his prerogative.

PapaJoe55. I know you, you know me. What’s so hard to understand about that statement!
The intensity of the questioning you were subjected to was absolutely unacceptable. I’m humbled at your forgiving attitude towards your antagonists. I’ll call n with you when next in your area, hopefully October, before mid-week European game.

Happy to provide some light relief from all the drama of Transfer Window Day. Like Gratiano in The Merchant of Venice…but that’s literature and that was yesterday’s list topic – today it’s music. So, like Weird Al Yankovic…
Brilliant expectation management from Chelsea. Allow a David Luiz coming back rumour to develop. Then when nobody arrives everybody is delighted!

Rumours thay Simunovic has failed his medical at Torino are nonsense. He’s passed all the tests they’ve conducted so far, the boy’s in good shape as far as they can see.
They’re just waiting to test his knees, which missed the connection at Heathrow and were misdirected to Schiphol. They’re due to arrive in Turin this afternoon.

Do you think we could get away with claiming the airline damaged his knees in transit and get a wee insurance claim?
Or did he go Ryanair?
Davidpolous,
I’m glad the subject has moved on.
It was like reading joey bartons twitter feed during the close season. :)

No-one on here likes the unpleasantness that has surrounded Kill Ultra and his slurs re the Res12 boys, all of whom are clearly Celtic men.
I posted earlier and asked Kill Ultra to come forward with the evidence he says he has on his computer re the Res12 boys.
He has yet to respond. If he has such evidence and it is as damning as he says then surely for the good of Celtic he should produce it?
If he doesn’t want to do that why constantly go on about the matter here and on other sites? What is he hoping to achieve by that?
There are plenty of other matters surrounding Res12 in recent months that start to build a picture. If you associate yourself with Res12 you will be attacked, smeared and threatened.
Some would say that they have had enough and walk away. Who could blame them?
Earlier in the year I got the impression from posts on here that he was an Irish based Celtic supporter who was maybe more militant than Res12 guys re tactics and so on. There have been plenty of debates on that subject on here and of course we are all entitled to our views.
Can I ask you have you met Kill Ultra? You say you haven’t met anyone else on here but you haven’t made that clear if that includes Kill Ultra.
If he has something to produce on Res12 he should surely do so.
If he is a Celtic man as you believe then he does now know that his posts are being used by evil bigots to attack people like Paul67. Is that something either of you are happy with?
There is a professional campaign underway to discredit and defeat Res12. That is why good folk like Doc have had their backs up. You couldn’t meet a nicer man than him, as you will find out when you meet.
Again can you confirm you have met Kill Ultra in person?

Joey’s twitter feed was a cry for help – he tweeted about Sartre and was clearly suffering an existential crisis. Look what happened…
