Gamboa, McCarthyism

1073

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.

    Got to hand it to the SFA for another fine cover up.

     

     

    Mind you, how they managed to acquire and then dispose of all the original TV camera footage and thousands of mobile phone video clips of the players being assaulted at the Cup Final is a mystery.

    Why is Kill Ultra interested in how many res12’rs are shareholders?

     

    —————

     

    It wasn’t a prerequisite that they be shareholders but, as the Res, 12’rs were representing the 100 signatories, (including me and a friend), necessary to bring the resolution onto the agenda it would have been more appropriate and representative if they had been.

     

     

    So far I’ve had no answer to a very easy question: How many of the four, at that time, were Celtic shareholders?

    If there were a 6th division in England, Celtic should apply. Anything to get out of this shithole.

     

     

    What,this shithole that we have just won 5 IAR in.That has given us the chance to rake in 30 million from the CL.Around 6 million from the Champions tournament.Playing in the bottom tier of England will do Celtic no favours.No CL money.No sponsors worth anything.No prize money,to speak of.No players willing to join us to play there.No crowds willing to turn out to see Celtic versus East Finchley,or some other fekin nobodies.We would be in the gutter in a few years.Marvellous planning.

    Nearly got Regan last night in Waitrose.

     

    I was watching him shop, thinking….Flan, Meringue, Heston Victoria Sponge, Giant Cream Doughnut:)

     

    Mrs was watching me closely….so i couldnt flan him into submission.

     

    He was lucky:)

    BB,I dont think the SFA mentioned anything about that in the findings.

     

    Thats the Records baby.

    Can I make a suggestion please on the whole PAPAJOE55/KILLULTRA/DOC et al situation?

     

     

    That is that we don’t refer to him again until 24/9 when he has agreed to meet DOC. DOC can then post on here-or not!-his impressions,as too can PAPAJOE55.

     

     

    The reason I suggest that is simply because whatever has been said or implied or whatever over the last Coupla days,one thing is for me very clear.

     

     

    PAPAJOE55 isnae really in the best of health.

     

     

    Can we leave it all for a while,please? The Res12 thing has dragged on for three years,surely we can leave this for three weeks?

    Bony looking like going to Stoke – phew!

     

    Schweinsteiger plays his last game for Germany tonight. Doubt if he will be moving anywhere.

    Papa doc devallier will not show up to the meet you can take that to the bank

     

     

     

     

    He is a lying toad IMO of course

     

     

     

    Don’t suppose there’s any chance of waiting to see if the meeting does happen eh?

     

     

    Na, just right in there with the accusations, shocking.

     

     

    That’s right Tony very similar to your garbage regarding RES 12 now run along and hold hands with the band of liars in KU and PAPA DOC I am sure you clowns can make up more lies in fact I can see them building up in you three just now

    Its deadline day….the bhoys want to crack a few gags.

    KILLULTRA

     

     

    I think by law everyone who backed Res12 had to be a shareholder.

  11. I don’t care if Kill Ultra is a plant or whether Papa is his mate.

     

     

    The point still stands.

     

     

    Either Kill Ultra has the proof that will destroy Res12 as he says he has or he hasn’t.

     

     

    If he has then he should man up and post it and if he hasn’t then he should tighten his bra, button his blouse, strap in, let the Res12 guys get on with it and stop agitating as he has been doing for a couple of months.

     

     

    Which is Kill Ultra. Front up with your info or Shut up?

  12. Winning Captain

     

    I can confirm meeting Kill Ultra.

     

    As I said before I do not wish anybody to get undeserved hassle particularly when they are trying to do good

     

    Work. I know nothing of Res. 12 and do not discuss this with Kill Ultra. I merely pointed out on the blog yesterday that he was not the level 5 guy named yesterday. Unfortunately I did not see Docs Email Address on Monday only when it was posted late Last night when I then contacted him. We have mutual friends but understandably even then he is suspicious of me. None of my close friends are on CQN the only guy I know on here is Gordon 64 who I am sure will let you know I am who I say I am. Doc has kindly offered to source a ticket for me for game on 24th and would be delighted to meet you as well. I think you do a great job on here. HH

    Really burst out laughing last night at your crack about,”Skiting a Hestons Victoria Sponge at his Napper in the next aisle”

     

    That Hestons Victoria Sponge sounds very posh,LOL.When I was last in the UK it was Sarah Lee.

    Kill Ultra

     

     

    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.

     

    ———-

     

     

    Winning Captains. 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 at heart.

     

     

    That’s why I offered 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.

  19. TGM,

     

     

    It will be a busy last day of the transfer market, nothing surer.

    Celtic are willing to break their transfer record for James McCarthy, the problem is Everton could get £5m+ more if they sold him within EPL
