    desperate times deserve desperate measures

     

     

    Personally could never see myself so desperate

     

     

    Not much chat about it …perhaps some are disappointed

     

     

    When you back ?

  6. Who cares….I didn’t get up early for such childish rubbish….back to bed now or perhaps I’ll go to Aldi with a Lidl shopping bag. It’s like wearing a Celtic Scarf in The Bristol!

     

     

    Missed my chance too busy peein’, getting breakfast toast and tea in,

     

    I’ll bide my time for the magic ‘V’, Seville and twenty zero three.

    I don’t think we should be selling our top players then moaning about the lack of quality and options in the side.

    Others at the club have also stressed this band-of-brothers quality of the Celtic squad recently and it is worthy of note that the oldest regular player is Kris Commons at only 28. Adam Matthews is 20, Victor Wanyama and James Forrest 21, Thomas Rogne 22, Ki Sung-Yueng 23, Gary Hooper, Fraser Forster, Biram Kayal and Anthony Stokes 24, Joe Ledley 25, Charlie Mulgrew and Emilio Izaguirre 26, and Brown and Samaras 27. That’s a young group.

     

     

    My fellow Tims;

     

    We have a future.

     

    The hun doesn`t even have a past.

  9. UEFA have announced that 1.34bn Euros will be allocated out between the teams participating in the CL.

     

     

    In contrast 225mn Euros will be distributed amongst those in the Europa League.

  10. Tauranga

     

     

    Getting some pics on Saturday of the world piping championships over the Green.

     

     

    Will bring back memories of your own drum resounding and beating to time of the Scottish soul in the Southern oceans.

     

     

    Best wishes to your family. Rain is still my speciality by the way….ask Gavin or Craig what it’s been like this summer here.

    I keep out the way of talk regarding a daft wee division 3 club but that one caught my eye, has he signed?

     

     

    Was talking to someone the other night who met craig beatie in a Lenzie pub and said he was onto 8k a week. Good to see the daft wee division 3 club are starting off on good financial ideals.

     

     

    This time next week I’ll be home, so close I can almost taste it, first holiday in a year, got ticket for Hibs game at Celtic Park, if your around Im susceptible to pints….

    And EN gets the Centenary Season!

    Re Frank Haffey.I am very confident that Gordon will be able to answer your singing question.As a wee boy Frank was his favourite player so as well as being able to answer all things relating to Celtic this ( Frank Haffey ) will be his specialist subject.

     

    Gordon,if you are reading then hope the trip to Helsinki worked out well – we got the result that mattered.

     

    I attended a wee function in London last night and met Pele and Michael Jamieson.There is nothing I can add about Pele-he is a genuinely nice man however Michael Jamieson was a terrific and modest person.He had just received his invite from Celtic yesterday afternoon to fix his diary to come to Parkhead to be presented to the support.He is a huge Celtic supporter and was overwhelmed by the youtube of the crowd chearing him on ” from the slopes of Celtic Park “. I have a nice picture taken with him proudly wearing his silver medal.

  14. I hope the clowns masquerading as Celtic supporters who engage in phone ins tonight will put the alternative view that Scottish Footballs record in europe was just as poor with the former rangers in europe as it is now……1 win in 30 odd games even with the deified walter in charge IS a shocking return from our cheat champions….

     

     

    somehow i feel it will be more about how we need to sign players ???? Quite how we encourage any top player or their agent to come to our club forSPL football and a chance of a few champs league games every few years god alone knows right enough…..but biscuit tine headlines will ensue despite the shambles of every other club in our league and many others…..

    I appreciate that we have a surfeir of midfielders;I also appreciate that Ki is approaching the final year of his contract.

     

     

    Also,I’ve long advocated the policy of scouting quality youngsters,bringing them on,and getting a good price for them to fund further teambuilding.

     

     

    But Ki is potentially WORLD-class;the others are not.

  16. Have rangers actually signed anyone from another club or just bosmans ?

     

     

    When do Boca and Goian leave ?

     

     

    Am I right in sensing that the main ones who have left rangers from last year were the ones who were on the much vaunted ‘new 5 year deals’ which were handed out like confetti this time last year ?

  17. “I’m very excited to be part of this process,” Wotte said. “A lot of clubs are struggling financially so we have to support them in developing our young players. Celtic are the only club that doesn’t provide players for the performance schools; we have only one Celtic player because his father insisted it was the best thing for him to do.

     

     

    “Celtic has its own schools programme at St Ninian’s which we don’t pay a penny for, which I don’t think is clever from Celtic. We wanted four or five kids from Celtic Under-12s but they were advised not to participate in the performance schools because they have their own St Ninian’s project and so are not benefiting from our investment. But it is only for a year and I am sure that when Chris McCart and Peter Lawwell consider it, I hope they will change their opinion

     

     

    From todays Herald, hasn’t taken Mr Wotte long to learn the SFA ethos attack all things Celtic

     

     

    Celtic leading Scottish football out of the football darkness with an elite football academy costing neither Goverenment or the governing football association SFA!! Celtic youth players participate in top class internationl youth tournaments whigh the Next Gen series is, recently the 15’s were in China at a world event with teams from all over the globe invaluable experience, now why would you attack the only club giving Scottish youngsters that opportunity

    Astonishingly desperate from the SFA man.

     

     

    Saw mention the other day of 7/9 Celtic kids in some Scotland squad, Celtic are Scotlands youth development and a re quite right to keep the kids on our programmme rather than the notorioulsy inept SFA’s.

    Celtic have these kids training every day, this is a carefully crafted professional system tailored to develop these kids techinical and physical developments, you would have thought Mr Wotte would recognise and praise such a system, apparently not

  25. I may have missed post 2003 but I didn’t miss the year.

     

     

    It’s hard to believe (for me anyway) but thousands of youngsters who go to the games now, have no memory or only a hazy one of that ‘V’ for Victory Venture of Valour.

     

     

    Guitar practice time so got to go but for those who give a toss about my memories of 2003 (and have a few minutes to spare)………

    Exactly.

     

     

    We should have a Boca, Barcelona, Ajax type set up with no consideration to international set ups, we do too much already. I say that as a supporter of Scotland.

    Goain is now making noises about staying, as no potential buyers can match the £15k a week he is on at a Scottish Div3 club

    Would like to enjoy being a Scottish supporter as you put it, however refuse to support the SFA XI

     

     

    It has been well known in youth circles down the decades of SFA youth coaches targetting Celtic youngsters for other clubs, thats the main reason Celtic are not “in” also preventing burn out with youngsters

  29. lionroars67@08:18

     

     

    ‘Would like to enjoy being a Scottish supporter as you put it, however refuse to support the SFA XI’

     

     

    Add to that the silence of the Tartan Army while the SFA were trying to stitch up the national game for the benefit of one club. A statement along the lines of ” Follow the rules or else we boycott the national team’s WC qualifiers” would have put the fear of God into Ogilvie, Reagan et al

     

     

    But oh no, we don’t want to miss out on our booze fests to Cardiff, Belgrade, Zagreb etc.

     

     

    Whilst under the present regime, i will not watch 1 minute of any Scotland game whether it be a friendly or WC qualifier

     

     

    Stuff the SFA + it’s pathetic TA

    I have the same thoughts on the SFA but refuse to let them take Scotland.

     

     

    One of my best friends supported rangers, her boy is a great wee player, was with what was once rangers, she and the boy decided to move away from them last year and take up offers from either Celtic or Hamilton Accies as they were best for development. He signed for Accies, a good move. A lot of clubs were after him but only rangers (defunct) charged kids to train with them.

     

     

    The SFA have previous for not doing the right thing with Hamilton Accies kids (James McCarthy) as well as others, best avoided.

    The rich get richer…?

     

    with the SFAs and indeed certain parts of the media in scotlands new found committment to spreading the financial football wealth to the lower league clubs (or should that be club?) in Div 3 maybe they should take their blueprint to Uefa as the way forward in ensuring financial parity for all clubs?
