You and I have been doing this long enough to remember this place in meltdown at the prospect of Celtic signing a player from another SPL club. Domestically sourced talent was regarded as unimaginative, cheap, even. Contrast this with the utter joy when we signed Koki Mizuno, who was full-on exotic, but built for finer things then competitive football.
At 29, Aberdeen’s Irish international midfielder, Jonny Hayes is certainly unimaginative, and may be comparatively cheap, but he’s also a low-risk option for Celtic, who will know what they could get (and what they will not get) from the player.
With Patrick Roberts due to report to Manchester City on his return from holiday, Celtic are short of options for right-mid, with the first Champions League qualifier only five weeks away. The manager will view this gap in his squad as an unnecessary risk to next season’s objectives.

BRTH, well said.
I am utterly sick,tired and jaded of reactionary idiots banging on about immigration whenever anything happens that isn’t cricket or tea on the lawn.Apart from the fact all the protagonists have been born here why does any decent,sane person think causing more division will help the situation?
Then there’s the ones who ask not to play politics after such events when that’s exactly what they’re doing,if they weren’t then why are they not on showing solidarity and condemnation after every similar attack that happens in far away places?By only reacting to the attacks that are deemed western newsworthy you play directly into the hands of those playing politics with these incidents.
I heard May on television earlier saying enough is enough and spouting the old values nonsense.I take it she’ll recall all her troops from foreign soil and stop selling weapons that kill children daily to regimes like Saudi Arabia then?If she’s genuine about stopping the killings then stop enabling and commiting it to others.But that takes us into the realms of power and profit and it’s then the values she lies about become a bit blurry.Her and her government are as culpable in murder as any so called terrorist.
Until we value every life as sacred as the next the powers that be will manipulate and distort the views of the fearful populace to their own nefarious ends and all the while poor people will continue to die at the hands of other poor people for the benefit of the very,very few.
Best wishes to all the poor and those who have suffered great loss no matter their geographical location.

Of course….its ok for the likes of May and Boris to warmonger, selling arms to lunatics etc.
They are well protected.
While the public become targets.
The coalition has admitted to killing 484 Civilians recently…by ‘accident’.
War isnt a business, its a crime.
Its sad indeed.

Lennybhoy,
Positive piece of information. Hopefully you are on the mark again.
Thanks for posting.

Had a little discussion this morning with a stranger at the table next to me on a similar subject.
He initiated it,honest-I was quietly reading TIME and quaffing my ale.
He is confused as to how our security services have done a wonderful job for years in preventing Islamist attacks yet three have happened in such short order.
He also pointed out that we live in a world of open government-FOI Act allows you to question virtually every action taken by the government of the day. Access which our predecessors never had.
But that it is useless when we have no knowledge of how sub-government-his term-works.
Btw,he proved you don’t have to be a Celtic fan to be paranoid. And you don’t need to be a Celtic fan to know when you’re getting shafted
Seriously guys.
Has it really taken you all to read that piliger article to realise the reasons for attacks on sovereign nations.
If you don’t want to trade on the Dollar you will be attacked! And attacked without fear or favour.
And the fact gov’ts will employ arm and support jihadists to help fight their bloody wars is not new either.
Our governments and their security services are corrupt to the core in their efforts to maintain dominance, control countries and their resources, all in the name of democracy.
Since 9/11 and ignoring the Saudi involvement to target economies they wished to control and continue arms manufacturing, use, sales etc… The blood of all innocents who have died, whether from 20,000 ft to lorry’s, vans mowing down on the streets of Europe and London, knife attacks and suicide bomber, is directly on the hands of Blair, Bush (Afghanastan & Iraq), Cameron/May & Obama (Libya) and May Yemen &Trump (Yemen). When they look in their mirrors they see the faces of the evil people who planned out and enacted their cowardly terrorism that has bred the evil that now attacks across Europe on our streets.
There will be a special place for all these individuals in hell when their time comes.

There are still folks out there who think that 9/11 wasn’t an inside job.

Aye. But too many innocents too.
The genie is out of the bottle.
And that,my friend,is that.
The genie is out of the bottle and we have no idea how to put it back in.
A start,of course,might be made by admitting how it was allowed to escape,but we don’t want to punish the guilty,do we?
BRT&H @ 1:33 PM,
Excellent post.
John Pilger is one of the few great journalists we have remaining, he should have a broader platform for his work so we all can be properly informed.
Unfortunately as you intimate in your post these platforms are controlled by vested interests – they certainly don’t want the populace to be informed on what’s really going on.
Saw an interesting piece in The Telegraph the other day, as the polls are shifting away from the Conservatives, they were critising the “oppositions” use of Internet Robots (bots) that were spreading articles over Social Media.
Guess they haven’t managed to control that YET.
It reminded me that a few years ago during the Great Football Swindell – when the SMSM got annoyed and referred to Scottish Football’s prominent contributors as Bampots.
Of course after many revelations, leaks and court cases, we find the SMSM were spinning lies and the Bampots (including your good self) were right.
Let’s hope the “Bambots” allow people to hear the alternative to the spin and make a real difference to the outcome of the election.
If The Telegraph and the Barclay Bros. Are rattled, it suits me.
Hail Hail

Inside job? Of that I am not yet convinced. But I am certain it was allowed to happen none the less.
Were there is a conspiracy theory the truth lies somewhere in there between the theory and the governments attempts to loonify them.

LENNYBHOY @ 12:37 PM,
Great news…. fingers crossed.

I look forward to Boris’s post later on the comments this morning.
Sorry did I say Boris? I meant Nuttal. No, not him either. Who am I thinking of? Errrm… Macjay. That’s him.

9/11 was indeed a inside job.
HH

I start from the default position of not believing what they tell me, I question everything, most of the time they tell me the truth, but some of the time it’s blatent lies, 9/11 is a classic example, many more better educated people than I can testify to it being an inside job, some have even lost their lives for speaking out.
There have been countless false flags happening for many years now, but as ever I will be vilified for my questioning them, but I will be proved right at the end of the day, I would wager my grandweans lives on it, along with my own obviously.

Companies like Halliburton, Slumberger etc have made countless trillions from the manufactured wars, yet people still believe the crap they feed us, it’s little wonder when so called educated folks are also taken in.

Of course….the Twin Towers were destroyed, but miraculously Mohammed Atta’s passport was found intact.
Serious bs.
Only a fool would believe the official story/narrative.
False flags are nothing new…..The Gunpowder Plot, Guy Fawkes, to the Reichstag Fire.
Its what governments do.
HH
anyone interested about the 9/11 attack google richard d hall
TET
The false flags are definately there buddy.
To a degree I believe these attacks are allowed to occur at times when our politicians have big questions to answer in their respective countries in attempts to frighten and manipulate the electorate.
Look at The Manchester bomber. Within 2 hours they knew who he was and subsequently within hours were arresting others. Look again today, 12 arrested within 12,hours of attack. These stewards of democracy know exactly what they are doing.

The Gunpowder plot.
You can see how the state attempted to stifle the power and influence of Catholic Spain and France, by imposing an anti-catholicism that still exists.
I note three events.
Spanish Armada
Gunpowder Plot
Popish Plot…Titus Oates

Ma sister was there during 9/11, the day before the attacks they done the Hudson boat tour (??) took loads of photos on digital camera, not one photo saved (media blackout) her & her man had to stay an extra week due to the obivious flight problems, think Moragn Stanley (who lost many employees in one of the towers) refused to,pay the insurance as it was a terrorist attack…….

Oh dear I forgot about wee Paddybhoy Roberts
Our new No. 7 :-))
Now I’m not interested in politics, so I had just had the local SNP MP at the door
MP – Can I ask who you’ll be voting sir ?
Can I ask you your thoughts on the OFBAF Mr MP ?
MP – I’m not going to win this debate sir
Goodbye
Shouldn’t have bothered opening the door

Totally agree with your post mate.
The actions of a few will bring the tories back to power. Teresa May will jump on the thatcher bandwagon now.
Hell mend us.

BRTH- Strange how opposites attract, when George Galloway was in Parliament, John Major was PM, he said he was the most honest, genuine politician he ever met
Apart from Borrini which is a done deal what other player do we need, and what invincible do we remove, by the way for me Borrini is our 3rd striker, Leigh, Moussa then Fabio :-)

I hope you include amongst the few all those Blairites who flatly refused to accept the democratic will of Labour Party members and have been stabbing Corbyn in the back from day one.
I do agree that after Thursday, hell will well mend us.
And hell will well mend us after next Thursday
Not sure Borini is better than what we have, looks like a player with no real position.
Where is this stuff about borini coming from?
