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.

Going by the nick of the German captain Clint might’ve slipped in as a very very old looking 21 year old :O)

Disnae count if you get the same post deleted twice ;-)))
FWIW, I’ve read posts which were much more offensive and not even received a stern talking to, or finger wagging, never mind a straight red. This is what it means to be Celtic….. :-)

That’s a pity because lightning has struck again. Thanks for cursing me :-)))))
Rhetorical,
A sweeping statement so say that trying to protect the innocence of childhood is wasted, so let me qualify it in the correct context.
This is, essentially, a football blog. One place you’re guaranteed to hear profanities, in my experience, is at a football ground. Irrespective of where you sit/stand. Watch it on tv, and you’ll likely hear it, form the role models on the pitch, or from the terraces. Another is in the pubs, before and after games where people discuss football. It’s inevitable that the sort of language used there will sometimes carry over into places like this.
I’m not suggesting it’s right, but that’s life. I’m not naive enough to believe we can prevent children being exposed to what some consider to be bad language. And isn’t it all a bit subjective now anyway ? It’s part of everyday language for most people i suspect. My own view is that it’s preferable to pick your battles, and choose those you know you have a chance of winning. With regard to ‘profanity’ , the gate is open and the horse is galloping off into the sunset.
So. That’s what i meant about trying to protect the innocence of childhood being wasted, but i guess if you take it out of context, you might read it another way. I’m pretty confident you weren’t inferring that i meant anything other than in the context of a football blog. Lets leave it at that.
p.s don’t be so quick to ‘retire’ again. Stick around. Tomorrow, we may be able to talk about football again, seeing as how the Bhoys are back in action again.
Bmcuwp-I’m a selfish basa,but it’s unusual for you to rant,so when you do I’m right behind you,now we’re getting told Ronnie signed our duds?????ronnie wasn’t even allowed to sign his number 2

It’s that anti-dandruff shampoo they use :-))
POG,
Genuine laugh out loud moment :-)
On top of England losing to Germany on penalties, not a bad start to the evening :-)))
Ouch pens again,they pesky huns
Methinks there are a few fifth columnists on here, and have been under various names down the years. God bless them in their futile efforts.
