Ill-equipped strikers, King ramblings and a league without Celtic

545

A week into preseason Celtic play their first 90 minutes of the campaign tomorrow afternoon away to Linz in Austria. It will be great to see the team play (CelticTV) but tomorrow is all about getting the legs moving without injury. Thereafter expectations will ramp up quickly.

‘News’ that Nadir Ciftci has been told he can find a new club will have shocked you, I know. You and I had many opportunities to watch Nadir at Dundee United, while Ronny Deila considered his purchase. The player’s languid interpretation of the game made him a surprising signing at the time.

Maybe Ronny knows something we don’t? Was the hope. He didn’t. It was a rank bad signing, one of several strikers acquired during Ronny’s tenure who didn’t look like Celtic players on paper and looked even less equipped in hoops.

Ronny, of course, did try to sign Moussa Dembele in January 2016, so it would be wrong to conclude he had a blind spot for strikers, but you will struggle to name some who ‘passed through Parkhead’s gates’ in recent seasons.

I only caught up with Dave King’s ramblings yesterday evening. He fancies Newco to reach 10-in-a-row before Celtic do so. They stand a far better chance if we leave Scottish football.  Remember when Charles Green promised Newco would never compete in the Scottish Premier League, knowing fine well the league were committed to an imminent rebrand?  Not laughing so much now, are you?

Celtic are always looking at this, always working on one or other strategy.

    Stuart Armstrong is future Celtic captain if he signs up to it. Stuart’s choice.

     

    Hope he does. I love him.

    You canny blame Trump or May for selling their souls for pay by Rothschild Mob.

     

     

    1984 now.

     

    ===================================================

     

     

    Trump is what you read on the packet.

     

    May is now a poor soul.

     

     

    1984.

     

    Yes.

     

    Three worlds .

    Kieran would win the physical fight.

     

    Nobody in Scottish fitba will defeat Stuart Armstrong in an intellectual argument though.

    yeah thats what they voted for. Phillistine!

     

     

    He promised the electorate he wouldnt touch medicaid(The lower part of the 2 tier US healthcare system covered by taxes). He is going to gut it. The vote was postponed today because even 5 republican senators couldnt bring themselves to vote for it.

     

     

    He also promised that the US would dump NATO (lie), build a wall (lie) and other lies.

     

     

    Right wing fascism yippe kay eh!

     

     

    As an immigrant you should know better but then again Australia is quite white.

     

     

    ========================================================================

     

     

    He promised to get rid of Obama care.

     

    Being baulked by politicians who feel that their opinion carries more weight than the will and stated intent of the people.

     

     

    He is unable to carry out some of the rest of his promises because of the intervention of the Courts and their gerrymandered (by Obama ) leftist judges.

     

     

    One eighth of his first term of office.

     

    Give him time.

    Last night was one of those nights when things just fall into your lap.

     

    Going away drinking session for a work colleague and of course after a few drinks religion pops up in the conversation of about a dozen of us. One guy pipes up that he’s a Presbyterian. So I start playing with him. I can tell that he’s getting more and more agitated as I question him on various issues. As is one’s want. :)

     

    Anyway his last exasperated retort was:

     

    “What do you Scot’s know about Presbyterianism anyway?”

     

    Silence all round the table.

     

    “Well”, says I (licking my lips) ” So you dont know Presbyterian began in Scotland and you call yourself a good Presbyterian?”

     

    ( I Know it was Calvin but I took a gamble. It paid off). Tail.legs.between.gone!

     

    Sometimes you get dealt a good one. :)

    Betcha he gets impeached.

    Sorry.

     

    Too late to complain about the ” inequities ” in the American electoral process.

     

    The time to complain is when your preferred candidate wins.

     

    Bush . Clinton. Bush 2 . Obama.

     

     

    Complain about a dodgy referee when you win . Not when you lose.
