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.

The first shock of this year’s Champions League – The New Saints, top seeds in this round, beaten (actually well beaten) 1-2 at home by Gibraltar’s Europa.
TNS wearing the hoops too :(
CRC, I’m back up the road tomorrow night for an appointment with the consultant on Thursday then back Thursday night.
Yes it is a bit sticksville but I am assured that taxis will not be a problem. I think I may do a wee journal on the blog sans astérisques about the pubs I visit down here, definitely keep an eye out on FB. There is a farm brewery just up the road and a few interesting pubs nearby, so watch this space.
1-1
Can’t believe Buffon didn’t save that.
2-1 another cracker
Pog
Gather a few pubs over the next couple weeks and I will come down and we can crawl together for a weekend sess :-)

Caleyroadbhoy57, I have made contact with your cousin ;-) and we are arranging a wee Soiree furra swally in a couple of weeks once I have settled in here, he’s just down the road and wants to use his bus pass, lol.
Ps the signal on my mobile phone is almost nonexistent here but I’m sure you will understand why.
That’s 2-1 Spain and Italy are down to 10 men, sorry for the poor reporting
CRC, that sounds the business. Let me know when you are available and we’ll sort something out :-))
I’ve just watched youtube footage of Tom Rogic’s 20 goals for us up to December 2016.
Some real belters in it .
My top 3 from the youtube footage , in no particular order are his goal at Pittodrie last season, the last minute winner at Rugby Park plus his first ever goal for us at Firhill in August 2015.
The Firhill goal showed a good amount of abilty. The ball was slightly behind him and on his right foot but he managed to make a good connectionwith it ending up in the onion bag.
Its good he is one of our players. Its hard to believe that he has been with us since 2012.
Italy now bringing on some of the Saudi under 16s
Spain u21’s wow!
3-1 brilliant hattrick
I predict Tom Rogic will become even more special next season.
Goodnight all,
JJ
The young lad Ascensio has certainly risen to the occasion.
Celtic should be signing some of these young Spanish lads, I assume we’d get them for around £5
AMC from BT is currently showing “Better call Saul”
Looks like Spain beat them to it….
Hat-trick for Saul Niguez for er, Spain
CRC, Wylam has at least 3 or 4 decent looking pubs and the Boathouse Inn does accommodation and is on the main line to Newcastle so let me do some homework as suggested and maybe we could base ourselves in Wylam.
Apparently they travel from Newcastle just to go to the Boathouse Inn – something like over 20 different beers on draught and good food. As I said watch this space.
I might be able to get you accommodation on here but I need to ask about that ;-)
can you say “Niguez” on CQN?
Ha brilliant, Spanish sub and Barcelona player Denis Suárez was apparently named after Dennis Bergkamp who was named after Denis Law :O) Has to be fake news that one
Mags,
Depends on your accent. N.E. Scotland accent isokay, apparently.
Spain v Germany final

August is probably a good time, I will get back to you.
I will just let MrsCRC know of the coming expedition of beers, you never know she may join us.

Sevco can get them for a tenner.
That Jaguar XF is a nice looking car.
Anyone on here got one ?
Sorry – meant the F-type.
XF is okay, but i wouldn’t have a red one. If I had an F-type, I wouldn’t even mind if it was blue :-)

Magic.
Loved it , Comrade.

My belated regards to Philvisreturns who first brought that info. to my attention.
DD
yes I do.
I apologize for not participating in the music discussion the other night.
The Bee Gees came up. Too emotional for me.
I still have the wrist scars when I heard they were getting back together again.
AAAh Hi Macjay
I finally figured out why you dont believe in global warming. You are still a firm believer in fossil fools.
