Delighted to see Brendan Rodgers is down to business at Lennoxtown, three weeks before the players return for preseason training. It’s interesting that he arranged an early opportunity to meet Scott Brown over a meal, and that this was made public.
Getting buy-in from senior players was one aspect of the job Ronny Deila allegedly didn’t achieve. The rights and wrongs of this can wait for Ronny’s autobiography, although you may wish to express an outsider’s opinion. All that matters to Brendan is that no one is able to speculate about the same issue on his watch.
There’s not much a manager can do three weeks before training starts than eat dinner with the captain, scout players and watch videos. I expect Brendan to have seen every minute of every Celtic game last season by the time players get back; there is lots to learn. In particular, what went wrong at the back to a team which broke defensive records in each of the previous two campaigns. You may wish to express an outsider’s opinion.
Those in the know warned us that blue collar crime is particularly difficult to prosecute, and so it’s transpired. Only Craig Whyte now faces trial in the Rangers fraud case, which saw remaining charges against Duff and Phelps’ administrators David Whitehouse and Paul Clark dropped at the High Court in Glasgow this morning. It’s far from a satisfactory outcome.
Good to hear the losing Scottish Cup final manager, who was left with some bears in Japanese forest for seven days by his parents, has been found safe and well, even if he has nothing to say for himself.

I have to take issue with your opinion about this,bud.
There must NEVER be a place available for me at ANY Celtic game,not in Autumn anyway.
Apart from that,you are correct. And as far as I know,the club have no plans to sell 100% of seats as STs.
Not sure that they ever did,even with the ones that weren’t valid against deid teams.
Celtic strips are green and white. Should we need a second strip or a third strip it should we white and green. Or white. Or green.
Pink is not a Celtic colour. Pink scarves are therefore not Celtic scarves and should be banned under the Trades Description Act. They are an abomination.

With friends like that who needs enemies…
‘Back now in the top tier, their enemies call them Sevco and refer to their supporters as Sevconians, which the Urban Dictionary tells me refers to people “usually bald and toothless” and “consumed with bigotry and lies” who insist they are really Rangers’.
“usually bald and toothless” ?
Let me tell ye Ruth there’s no “usually” about it and you missed out ugly too……
And I’m basing that on St Stiv’s years of searching……….

Mate.
You`re too smart to imagine that the whole issue is black and white.
Let`s all accept the tragedy of these events .
Can we move on together in harmony , accept the past without forgetting it , and determine a better future for all.
For all.
Why not ?
Morning all.
Anyone have any idea how long the wait is at the ticket office this morning?

Basing that on St Stiv’s research is a damn sight more reliable than anything in that article

You should read my post again,bud.
I offered no opinion on anything other than the admitted lack of research undertaken by someone who professes to be a historian.
A subject which,by definition,requires just that very thing.
Anyway,that aside,hope yer well. My niece is visiting her “other” family at the mo in Brisbane. Might be her last visit for a while-uni shortly,then she has to pay her own airfares!
THELONGWAITISOVER
Difficult to answer with accuracy,but as a guide…
For you,the long wait has only just begun.
Bald and toothless? Yes. Ugly? But of course. I would add that I’ve never seen a skinny sevconian.
BMCUW,
I feel ( just consulted mystic Mark ) that this could be the season to beat your jinx.
Look how the signing of Brenden has altered the weather in Glasgow.
HH.
Ops Brendan, not Brenden.

I just knew I was going to get a smarty pants answer from someone on that…

Ruth Dudley Edwards .
Know next to zilch re her – but – met her historian brother at a party in Edinburgh some years ago ———– we got on like a house on fire —— the consequence of a shared love of PG Wodehouse and Sherlock Holmes ..
Scorchio -way down south.
Fudley Dudley Edwards a British historian who is renowned for her meticulous research into her articles & books makes her the foremost historian of our generation says BelfastTelegraph as can be seen below :)

Why is Andre Wisdom worth 3 million?
He’s perennially on loan and unwanted by Liverpool. He didn’t shine while at Norwich and they clearly don’t want him either.
We should be asking for a loan deal with an option to buy him for that kind of price.
Last thing we need is a 3 million Boyata
GREENPINATA
You not seen today’s forecast?
I’m not taking any chances,mate. I know that whether I’m there or not makes no difference to the outcome,but I have little enough time wi my family as it is-erm,whose fault is that?-and I prefer not to have my kid sis drawing me daggers during it.
She just has one of them disapproving glares,know what I mean?
Plus,how many League Cup finals did we win in the Autumn after I saw us lose for the first time ever in one in 71?
I saw them all! I think we won one.
Rapid Vienna?
Autumn.
I know I’m stretching a point there,but ffs,Morton then Hamilton?
Nope. Fair weather supporter from now on. I’ll go when I’m home in Spring.

You and her brother have excellent taste.

Exactly .
You and I know better.
Nevertheless , the perception should be addressed.
In terms of reconciliation.

I love winding my hun flatmate up,but I would draw the line at the t-shirt.
I’d wear it wi pride were that not the case,btw!
I’ll buy one anyway,you can either give the t-shirt to The Kano Foundation,or re-sell it.
Either way suits.
Vive le Resolution!
Murdochauldandhay&Wee Oscar,
Ruth Dudley Edwards might be described as a West Brit. She was born in Dublin and describes herself as English-Irish. I’ve heard her describe herself as a Revisionist Historian. Her views are what comes first, never balance. She is a ‘nippy sweetie’ and that’s enough about her on this Bank Holiday Monday.
Great to see the queues for seasons on Celtic’s Twitter feed.
I guess the argument of speculating to accumulate has been somewhat validated?
Now just for some decent signings, a strong statement in regard to Res12, a challenge to LNS & not one supporter could have any complaint.
HH!
Winning captains
Keep me 2 xl.
Will contact and pay end o week
MACJAY
As you say,the perception should be addressed in terms of reconciliation.
You should contact her. She made the claims,not me. I merely pointed out how ridiculous it is to offer an opinion in print,in columns in two different newspapers,on a subject that she admitted to knowing nothing about.
I’ve seen the film. I watched it with my previous flatmate,a fella who was never far from The Louden or The Bristol when he stayed back home.
He wasn’t too happy,but I rarely watch the telly so I have first dibs when it’s something I want to watch.
It’s a very hard-hitting film. It sure as hell hit him hard.
She should have watched it then picked holes in it.
She didn’t. End of credibility.

Twas a great Gig …He sounded so vibrant and yer right, Young backing band superb…

Well looks like big Peter has pulled off the big deal again by getting Brendan Rodgers as the new Celtic manager as it appears that we could be on for a record number of season tickets being sold.There is a huge weight of expectation on our young managers shoulders and the Celtic support are playing there part the team could well be playing to full houses at Parkhead next season. We need to go to the next step by bringing in at least 3 players and not young hopefuls but established professionals.H.H.

Is that one xxl,or two x xl ?

She doesn`t matter . Ignore her trivia.
It`s not about her.
Focus on the big picture.
Reconciliation.
JOEFILIPPISHAIRCUT
I had as much input to Brendan’s signing as PL did.
More,probably,since I was in favour of it.
Not that my opinion counted,of course. And thankfully on this occasion,neither did his.
You’ll never win anything with kids.:-)))))))

Reconciliation is very important,bud. Mandela proved that,who thought SA would explode? Most of us,I reckon.
He headed it off,superbly.
Have you read the piece she wrote for today’s Belfast Telegraph? It was posted earlier by MAH.
It could have been written in crayon on the Ibrox toilets.
And there it should have remained.
BMCUW @11 46 .
My love of PG Wodehouse was a cross to bear in the Maryhill of the mid /late 60s . It enhanced the ####### weirdo status earned by my love of cricket and Blue Note LPs .Boy named Sue stuff and an early lesson re the difficulties caused by being true to yourself .. I escaped to Uni in 68 and found that there were lots of people who loved PG Wodehouse and cricket but in a world full of Pink Floyd fans having lots of jazz LPs was still far from being cool ,man .
Ruth Dudley Edwards has declared herself a Rangers supporter….

I never bothered too much what my mates thought about my taste in music,though they usually got it much later. I was just happy that I liked it.
As for Pink Floyd,it took me a while. But only because the first PF album I heard was Ummagumma.
Still don’t like that one.
