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.

    CELTIC CHAMPS ELECT on 31ST AUGUST 2016 11:32 AM

     

     

     

    Doc

     

     

     

     

     

    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

     

     

    WOOFT! Another roaster.

    What level of entry into the English league system would you find acceptable?

     

     

    Or are you opposed to the idea ‘in principle’?

    Sorry….typo there.

     

    Should have read…’it wont hurt’

     

    But on second thought, it probably would hurt you to crack a joke.

     

    Get a grip:)

  4. Kill Ultra,

     

     

    I didn’t see the invite to your home, thanks.

     

     

    I thought I read this morning that you didn’t like me? That’s your prerogative.

     

     

    Can I suggest you bring the evidence to a verifiable 3rd party? The Celtic Trust? A lawyer?

  5. ERNIE LYNCH on 31ST AUGUST 2016 12:16 PM

     

     

    I’m opposed because I think the big move is away from national leagues. I feel if we jumped into this we’d find ourselves out of the picture should pan-European leagues arrive.

  6. MOONBEAMSWD ‘STAND UP ON 15 FOR THE GB’ on 31ST AUGUST 2016 11:59 AM

     

    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?

     

     

     

    MWD

     

     

    ————

     

     

    MWD. Please don’t make things up.Wher have I, at any stage, said I have ‘the proof that will destroy Res12’.

     

     

    If you’ve read back on my posts this morning you will see I’ve said I’m willing to give access to material to a third party.

  7. traditionalist88 on

    Not really following the controversy about KU but caught Winning Captains posts.

     

     

    If you were part of a professional organisation tasked with bringing down Res 12 as a priority and your online efforts were proving futile you were probably already prepared for the fact that infiltration of the group would be the next step.

     

     

    Maybe I’ve been watching too many films, but you can never be paranoid enough.

    Or are you opposed to the idea ‘in principle’?

     

     

    No,not opposed at all.The entry level would certainly not be Div 5 as has been mentioned.It would need to be The Championship.The reasons I mentioned for not going to a Div 5,or even 6 as MMG stated are 100% valid.We would have no income other than gate money.Explain to me otherwise and I will be very interested.

    WEEMINGER

     

     

    That’s my opinion too.

     

     

    As it stands,we have a guaranteed shot at CL money. How well we use that guarantee is in our own hands. Use it well,we build up our coefficient but more importantly our profile.

     

     

    Who knows how long it would take to get to the top table in England? Or how long to get to the top of that,where we would need to be?

     

     

    The European League structure will come. It would be a damn shame if we were in a backwater,as now,when it happened,but a different one which blew our profile out of the water

  10. KILL ULTRA

     

     

    Trust me it’s what the do, they twist everything, that’s what the pack do best, thing about that is when they do it to me, I know I’m winning, hang in there K U, right or wrong, is or isn’t a Tim, yer holding your corner well.

    Im not a hard man, but i do live in a hard place, and i survive because ive always been able to look after myself, nothing unusual in that….we all done it.

     

    What you see, is what you get.

     

    But of course, i am a scholar, gentleman, and die-hard rebel as well:)

     

    So….you will need to do a lot better….your last post was feeble.

     

    Anyway you wanna dance, any song you want to sing…Im your man.

    One tiny wee error in your thinking process whichnyouncontinually make is to side with everyone who fosters disagreement on here.

     

     

    He must be right,cos that lotta basturts are on his case.

     

     

    Yer a right sharpie,Tony. With age comes wisdom,right enough.

  14. Deadline day with us facing a momentous season hopefully and here we are bickering and in fighting.

  16. One player not Celtic related (although he’s an huge Celtic fan) is Joe Gormley. Played for the Cliftonville along side Liam Boyce (now Ross County) against Celtic in the Champions League game a few years ago. He’s joined St Johnstone on loan from Peterborough apparently.

     

     

    He’ll do very well at SPL level.

  17. Plants backing up the trolls and the trolls pallying up with the plants and it’s soooo conveniently timed and there’s Secret Squirrel with the evidence that will tear down civilization as we know it and there’s the easily outraged firing in on all sides with Hun hysteria revving up to a blistering, frenzied blog razor fight…

     

     

    And I’m trying to care.

     

     

    I’m really trying, on this transfer deadline day, to care about the sidetrackery and the mawkish sentiment between blog lovers as the world rages against them and the gullible hug them tightly amidst the storms of enmity…

     

     

    I’m really trying to care.

     

     

    About their petty feelings being upset. About their determination to be taken seriously, as serious individuals, with serious points to make, as seriously as that serious actor Victor Mature. We all need to be Victor Mature…

     

     

    I’m really trying to care.

     

     

    Ahp…

     

     

    Nope, nearly cared a bit there.

     

     

    Nah, lost it.

     

     

    Sorry for your earnestness in you trolling and your gossip and your self-righteousness and bleeding hearts.

     

     

    I really just don’t give a f#ck.

     

     

    Now, onto Celtic, transfers, new blood and old deadwood, and hurting, hurting Hun scum (hello lurkers and trolls) – THAT I care about. It’s a beatiful thing.

  18. Kill Ultra

     

     

    You stated on here that you have proof on your laptop.

     

     

    And you have just done so again only this time you have flowered your language somewhat.

     

     

    “If you’ve read back on my posts this morning you will see I’ve said I’m willing to give access to material to a third party.”

     

     

    But don’t worry, you have Tony grooming you so you’ll be fine.

     

     

    MWD

  19. Kill Ultra – is this material that you have secreted on your laptop a picture of BRTH in a thong and cowbhoy boots at a masonic function…. and this would somehow damage the cause?

     

     

    Too late we’ve all seen it!

     

     

    I’m guessing that whatever you have is neither damaging nor incriminating but you are trying to get some mileage on blogs by causing a stir. Now quite why a Celtic supporter would do this is beyond me, unless of course you are not one!

  20. TURKEYBHOY on 31ST AUGUST 2016 12:24 PM

     

     

    ‘We would have no income other than gate money.’

     

     

    ###

     

     

    There’d be gate money, sponsorship and advertising.

     

     

    A club the size of Celtic, with the fanbase it enjoys, playing in level 5 would be newsworthy across the world. Sponsorship and advertising rates would reflect that.

     

     

    Would the club be eligible to play in FA cup?

    eh no he is not.

     

    His question implies our club accepted a resolution to its own agm without due governance of all the paperwork.we are a little more professional than that Anthony.but you know that :-)

    I didn’t say I didn’t like you. I don’t know you, so it’s a moot point. I didn’t like your attitude to PapaJoe55. In spite of that my invitation still stands.

    A 3rd party yes. But not the Trust. No harm to them, but they are possibly too close, past or present to one or two of the requisitioners.

     

     

    I’m off out now, but I’ll think about it.
