I was initially surprised to hear we’re tracking a Jack-of-all-trades defensive midfielder-cum-central defender. Neil Lennon’s clear preference in central defence is Efe Ambrose and Virgil van Dijk, both of whom have been in excellent form this season, but he has backup in the form of Charlie Mulgrew, or even Mikael Lustig, who has played there before.
Defensive midfield, along with striker, is one of the key positions Celtic should be looking to strengthen; so a dedicated specialist would seem the better option, but our last outstanding specialist in that area arrived with exactly the same CV. I remember the disputes here when Neil Lennon talked about Victor Wanyama being able to play centre half. He could, but he didn’t.
It’s more important that we do our recon well than utilise everything in a player’s locker. Buying from England is usually expensive, but at least if affords you the opportunity to solicit plenty of reliable opinion on a player.

You must have selective hearing then.
But then as you say you’ve never actually spoke to her so you can’t really offer a criticle argument to support your position, I get the impression you rely more on hearsay than actual facts in this matter. In your defense you aren’t the only poster on here that believes what they hear third hand rather than what they actually hear first hand from those that have actually met Jeanette.
TD67 – can I ask where you have heard her speak and what she has said to slag the club? I have only heard her speak at organised events twice and genuinely haven’t heard that from her?

Hopefully do both, I’ll talk to the girls tomorrow and get back to you pal.

Agree running rings round the others, always liked him.
Just watching question time, something dawns on me : scotland has no chance of independance.
Reasons?
1. The Monarchy
2. The Military
There are no other reasons.
None whatsoever.
Tbj..
Not like him
He came back to club in his usual jovial self.

Never thot of that, I will bring some stuff down for you, will save a few bob right enough.
Wed is good, can’t do 2 days, she would not be happy >}

How many of the GB are students at Glasgow Uni?
The ones you can count on one hand after the teenagers where arrested in the kettling set up in the gallowgate, it was the biggest stitch up ever, not ONE so called leader stepped up to back those kids up, don’t try and wind me up pal, you’ve all been outed, you do not care about my club, you use my club, or tried to, on yer bike pal, I support Celtic Football Club, my heart is with them, my politics are my own business, so feck off.

Ive always been impressed by Jim Sillars!!

I read that on a genuine Celtic Blog. Truth? Don’t know, but by ghod, CP needs them back quickly, or Madden as ref for the rest of the season. He produced the best atmosphere since the GBs demise. IMHO. ( and for all the lurking huns GIRUY) Howzat. KTF.

Cracking question mate.
tonydonnelly67, Doc has one ticket left for his table at the CQ10 gig. Why don’t you come along and meet Jeanette F, you can ask her if she thinks she’s worth the money you think she makes.

And this kids, is why drugs are for mugs.
Well the GB could just change their name then we can get back the much needed ultras into Celtic Park. The ultra section could and should be much bigger. Like most German , Dutch ,Italian ,French -in fact like most countries.

Nice to see you revert to type and aviod the question, instead of just saying you don’t know you tell the questioner to feck off, class mate class.
Td67.
I’ve read recently on the blog you were wonderful host to other cqn,ERS. Respect for that.
Reasonable debate met by ad hominem attacks and abuse
I suppose that has to be resorted to when one doesn’t have a proper answer

You’re right about the collect service. Although twice I’ve been on the M8 and remembered I had a purchase to collect!
I’ve only recently went for the Islay whiskies and like you say when you read or hear people talking about whisky it puts you in the mood!
On blended whiskies I like the Scottish Leader served in the Celtic lounges

Every time I hear JF talk she’s speaking up for Celtic supporters or those less fortunate.
Isn’t that what Celtic is meant to be about?
All she wants is a seat on the board, all she does is slag the Celtic (the board) it’s not happening, someone should put this person down and talk to her, and let her know how the club are doing, we are doing that well she or anyone else is not needed, do they really need that match attention?

Overdue apologies: of Huddleboard and Celtic blogging
Some time back I wrote a blog which was an opinion piece designed to do three things. First to highlight the way too much criminal, abusive and threatening material is tolerated on some football websites. And second, in the wake of the Limond conviction at Ayr Sheriff Court, that these sites should consider their internal monitoring procedures or the police may end up doing it for them.
It is apparent that the site in question – The Huddleboard, a messageboard for Celtic fans – says they have taken action against such material appearing and they are to be commended for that. Hopefully all other sites are taking note. I’m sure this had nothing to do with the blog I wrote but it certainly shows the issue is concerning people as it should post-Limond.
What’s depressing is that the site moderators have not yet apologised to Angela Haggerty for the revolting abuse of her they allowed on their site. They should do so. When you make a mistake you man up, say sorry and move on – see below.
23 celtic g w Overdue apologies: of Huddleboard and Celtic bloggingThe second point of the blog was to gently suggest there has been a tendency to sweep this kind of thing under the carpet and for the MSM in Scotland to ignore therefore the Limond case as unworthy of comment. I note that at least one Scottish tabloid ran the Limond story front-page. Once again that is to be commended and rather underlines the point that the blog was making. This is the way things should be moving.
The third point was that a club which has suffered reputational damage – because of seat-vandalism episodes at other grounds, the fireworks at home, the UEFA sanctions and the Green Brigade issues and section closures – is a club with a problem.
Some might add Holland to all the above but the question of the police action there arises and the jury’s out, so to speak.
Apologies due
Leaving Holland aside the overwhelming majority of decent fans need to discuss these issues. And I know they are. Yes, a small minority of troublemakers, and so on – but yes, it is being noticed outside the west of Scotland and outside Scotland altogether. Noticed by UEFA and denial and what-aboutery in response to unpalatable facts is pointless.
But to galvanize that important debate I went well over the top and I apologise. No ifs, no buts. The Millwall analogy and comments about the level of violence were crass and wrong, taken literally. And clearly the way I wrote them it certainly looked as if I meant it to be taken that way, rather than a metaphor for how easily a reputation is acquired because of a tiny minority and how hard it is to shake off.
But life isn’t fair. As a life-long Newcastle United fan I have yet to hit a horse in anger. Really. Even a nag. Even a Sunderland-supporting Shetland pony (more common than many suppose). But because of the actions of one, the many are tarred. You just have to take it. And yes, I fully realise whilst we are at it that the team I support topped the league for football arrests the last time I looked.
Cue banter about it being the only league we’ll ever top…
Anyhow – my apology was due. And duly delivered. Now, Huddleboard moderators, do the gentlemanly thing and make yours please.

Naaaaaa, you need to do better than that, me post that, people in here know me, you don’t, so I don’t know why you would post that, you have an agenda against me, you better have a better one than that my …….friend <———–and I use that term loosely.
So Thomson apologises …good
Comparing CFC to Millwall was crass and wrong and frankly attention seeking
He lost a great deal of credibility with that statement …an apology is a start …nothing more
TD67 – See my post of 2301 just in case you missed it!
I listened to Jm Sillars last night on STV. Very impressed and great to hear his vision for a proper Scottish Labour Party not like the one we have now. Watered down Tories.
I honestly believe younger people cannot comprehend the difference in the Labour Party today compared to pre Blair
Liked that guy who gave a right good bawl on Q T there. Bet he was a miner!!!

So I should go to the Celtic club for a Celtic Trust ( Jeanette Findlay love in) meeting and all will be well with the world? Gimmi a break.
BTW Minx, that wasn’t a reference to you ampleness in the buxom department, as when I’ve met you it’s not something I was aware of or focussed on. It was a reference to a song.
Honest:-)

Ffs I posted this yesterday before you even passed comment on it. Please don’t flatter yourself on being a target for me. Don’t know you, have appreciated your posts at times, but to deliberately down you???? You have a much bigger impression of yourself than most on here. Have a lie down kiddo, you really need it. KTF

I think we will agree to disagree on consensus of support opinion on the GB actions, although I do agree the board will at some point have to take a stance and demonstrate some affinity with the support.
