You and I have seen enough of the football business to know that even when someone verbally commits to joining Celtic, we should assume nothing. Eddie Howe wanted his next destination to be an English Premier League city, not Glasgow. Right now, the Bat Signal is lighting the clouds, anyone who wants to secure English football’s best young manager had better make their move over the weekend. This is how football works, so let’s not get carried away.
If he arrives, it will be an appointment at the higher end of expectations, compare and contrast to Man City youth coaches who have never been in charge of a dressing room full of adults. Or even Roy the Intense.
Having filtered through so many possibilities in recent weeks, I can find fault with every one of them, even Brendan Rodgers, who is clearly the best manager in British football right now, did not get a tick in the box when it came to recruitment. We will critically assess Howe if and when he becomes Celtic manager. For now, let’s just hope we get our man.
Falkirk are atop the third tier and nurse a grievance from a year ago, when they were pipped to promotion by 0.03 of a point per game average by Raith Rovers. Tomorrow’s Scottish Cup tie has all the hallmarks of an underdog fully motivated against an inconsistent giant. Some of us will remember a comparable freezing cold night 15 years ago when a young Falkirk striker, Anthony Stokes, scored at Celtic Park on his way to a penalty competition victory in the League Cup. Let’s turn up prepared and hungry this time; I want the Scottish Cup.

Refused… Fat fingers. 👍
BADA and JAMESGANG
Good points both – yep, we all need to put our adult/realist specs on IF he comes in.
To do the job right isn’t just a little 2-yr gig.
Along the way, the exBourne/Burn guy could get Euro experience to nicely embellish his CV.
But will he fall in love w what we love? Will his family love West of Scotch as much as the douce Saff Coast?
Will he withstand the abuse bound to come his way as soon as he rumbles the new club?
We live in hope.
BTW on COVID; it can be beaten (as Aus and NZ kinda show) This week, been to football, movies and shoaps all with no mask needed. Keep the faith all.

It wasn’t a squash ball that hit Negri in the eye, it was Gordon Duries fist as Negri fefused to remove his Crucifix.
My mate worked in living well at the time.

Interesting, How you doing Sips?
If we are ever allowed to do anything again. we must go a little bit Crazy (the link has seal hiding 1 eye).
I can just about accept that tracking the population, issuing them with health cards passports, maybe even giving us a landyard with a chip in it to follow us around,
but no way am i pledging allegience to the flags.

The flying of the Union flag should be compulsory for all schools. If any pupils and teachers have concerns about this then surely they can be “educated” about what the flag actually represents. 🇬🇧 belongs to every single British person.

Are you for real?

Most certainly.
You regularly post about your God.
Just pointing out what I would’ve thought are fairly obvious inconsistencies in your argument.
sipsini,
Hopefully, although you might need to ferry me booze outside. *I am adamant I am* not a toilet and well Thanks and Praise to be to God I have these rights.

squire danaher,
Have you ever reflected on things?
Or are you just an instant blog responder with……
Please my Friend in Celtic of Glasgow. Dinnae be so quick to shoot down.
I suspect my God is your God too, I have the biggest sinner sheet in history, I beg you not to Judge anyone, least of all me.

Naka was a gift frae the Almghty. World Class.
We are Truly Blessed to witness All these awesome players.
The list is growing.
I think if it was any other League than Scotland that Gordon would have played Shunsuke in Centre midfield.

Enjoyed that clip this morning from 1966 game at Motherwell, that was a very young Peter McCloy in goals for Well
In a slow less quick news day, I thought I would have a wee look back at the archives, in particular, winning the cup in may2019, and the appointment of Neil after the game.
If Ediie Howe, out of work, is the appointment now that most want, why did he barely get a mention in 2019, ?
I was struck by excellent analysis and comment from SFTB, mid page,
Have a wee look if you can be bothered,

aye i enjoyed it as well, the size of the crowd, they did not know what was to come, also Arcies commentary language and style, it never changed over all them years.
Chelsea unbeaten in 14 with the new manager performaing modern day miracles because of his refreshing young modern day type of coaching versus the oldest dinosaur in the leage ………

Never thought I would thank someone for hitting a fellow Catholic, but consider the fact that Negri scored 23 goals in his first ten league games!

Managers in football matter much less than most fans think

IF he comes……
It’ll be interesting to see if his family come.
I’m really struck by how many top players and coaches (in football and rugby especially) are so far and so long parted from their partners & kids.
I agree that the rebuild will require sustained time to happen properly. Ironically, the more impressive EH’s progress, the greater the risk of a swifter departure, a la BR.
As for falling in love with Celtic, this is where the ‘football without fans’ quote does hold true. This season especially, I’ve been conscious of the fact that Celtic park is our Paradise only because we’ve experienced it full and crackling with anticipation. Empty, less so. Hamilton away, with Sainsbury’s as your backdrop, much less so.

SS,
Very pleasing.

There will be a vaccine every year for covid that will take over from the flu shot according to reports over here.
Majestic Hartson
Both governments have made an arse of it over here ,Toronto and Peel region have the most lockdown days in North America and in my opinion this new so called lockdown by Ford is not going to help.The people who need it the most are not getting it unless they listen to Dr. Brown.
Not be having a pint any time soon at the club. Got my first vax a week ago and #2 in 4 months.🏌🍻
Tim Horton don’t be too quick tae blame the federal government, you’ll find that most of the provinces that are struggling have Tory premiers.
As for the latest stunt by the clown at Queens Park, it’s no a lockdown, just a shutdown. Unless he closes the schools it wullnae work.
The NDP leader has his number.
Petec
It’s now pretty clear that breathing is the biggest cause of transmission for this sometimes-deadly, often-debilitating disease.
So unless you plan to hold your breath for the rest of your life or never meet anyone again in an indoor space, not taking the vaccine risks not only your life, but the lives of others.

I don’t want to get into a political argument with you as we differ on parties but the NDP leader is not what i would want to run my province, she would have Ontario broke same as the last one and Troooodo dont get me started on that corrupt regime never mind the balls up on Covid see GSK.
TONTINE TIM
Yes Ford and his gang have screwed up big time.
Jamesgang – Respect always, I reckon I had it early doors when working in Barrow.
I am not one who wants to do much now Anyway.
It is my choice to make my decisions and face the consequences. I do all the other GOVERNMENT advice to a tee.
The freedoms being stripped are frightening and quite Frankly scarey.
