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.

Would you stop talking sense please, it’ll never catch on ;)
About to head to my scratcher.
I’ll be there next Wednesday
Would loved to have still had those Celtic supporting Green Brigade Bhoys and Ghirls there with me.
Hail Hail one and all, and all Celtic supporters
Nakasammi, contact Doc, he’s got one spare and Tony D is scared to have a dance with JF:-)

If you haven’t done it already you should try some of Burnley 78’s Ardbeg based beer!
Bloody Fantastic!!
Re the GB — what many in the support outwith the GB can’t understand is their reluctance — and I will put it no higher than that — to take any cognisance of the views of the rest of the support including other supporter’s association.
It is their way or the high way.
I agree with a lot of what the Green Brigade look to do as a collective but there are certain things I think the get badly wrong in my own opinion.
Many of them knew that the banner at the Milan game would bring the wrath of many down upon their head — but they voted and so stood together under the chosen banner.
Personally, I would have gone down another road that night and left the admittedly clever and thought provoking banner for another day.

Did you make up that analogy yourself or copy from another site .. might have been easier to post a link . ;)
TTTT
As I’m sure you already know, I’m in disagreement with you :-)
Genuinely I’ve yet to talk face to face with any Tim who wasn’t in admiration and agreement on the banner.
When she unlocks this cupboard I may face a different experience :-)

You said the other day you answered all questions that were directed at you.
Just in case you missed it, here is mine again

Serious question to you, no agenda, just wanting to know what you think.
As far as I am aware, Celtic are open to all, politics, religion, colour, creed or whatever.
Question is….why are those who you disagree with not welcome when the ethos of the club says different ?
HH
You are right what you posted Celtic are open to all, as in players, staff, supporters, and anything celtic minded, but if you are, and you are coming at me on my opinions then all I can say is it’s my opinion, as in the club and the way it is being ran I am over the moon, BUT, If anyone comes in with a rant at my club, my board, my manager, I’m all over you, what part of me being a Tim the way I see it is my business don’t you get? if you see it different then so be it.
Cowiebhoy, when you next meet Doc make sure he’s not reeking of whisky and that the seal on the bottle he gives you is unbroken. Check for cold tea and a wee small hole in the bottom of the bottle.
Not that I don’t trust him, but I’m beginning to think he’s not a real doctor:_))

How many bottles of that hooch are you gonna smuggle into GQ10 ;)

As I said on the night, the banner was welcomed by all.
It was only when the powers decided that it was “offensive” the usual suspects jumped on the media band wagon.
Celtic supporters my arse.

I have had years of dealing with the Police ( Masonic and otherwise ) and I agree with you — the board — the club — whatever, have ballsed this up and I believe I know why and even on whose advice.
There has to be a change of attitude in my humble opinion.

Aye I Know sense is a peculiar thing — just like my good self.
ACGR,
Ok, just before I head.
See those airport Whisky shops, are they not owned by our very own Mr Bankier ?

TD67, why would you being there make my night?
You not being there will a lot of peoples night, and I don’t mean that in an offensive way. I’ve yet to meet a poster from the blog I didn’t have a laugh with, many who I’ve had spats with here.
I don’t think Jeanette will miss you either.

I’m sure she or you will have a great time, but you asked, not me, HH
I can not be the only bhoy who is off to bed and bookmarks the comments page for a visit tomorrow. So page 28 see u tomorrow…………
Hail Hail brothers and sisters,
I thought I was definitely in the Gerd Muller catagory tonight at the CQN 5s.
Before Doc jumps doon ma throat.
I was making the comparison with the bandy legs, fat erse and black curly hair.
However I did score a few good uns and thoroughly enjoyed the run around.
To my main point. BEANIE HATS BEANIE HATS BEANIE HATS.
Posted out today to Australia, Switzerland, Lurgan, Armagh, Coatbridge, Dundee, Dunblane, and Sussex. More to be posted tomorrow. Helensburgh, Kilsyth, Derry, Glasgow
After having a few teething problems with production, embroidery etc it is now all systems go.
Will be confident of turning orders around in days rather than weeks.
Over 40 CQN’rs now have their own personalised Beanie hats and they are really Braw.
If you want one get in touch patmcg1888@aol.com and I will sort it out.
Will repost this tomorrow night all HH Paddybhoy1888

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
Weefra HH supporting Wee Oscar.
And this is what I mean, it’s a Celtic blog, to get carried away with what I post is daft, it’s just my opinion, I’m not here to impress anyone, my god, you don’t even know me.
I already said I don’t know you, i do not get carried away with your posts, but you attacked me for, apparently having a differing opinion to you. I only posted what was tweeted on twitter. Ok, I agree we must do something to improve the match day experience. Does that deserve a bombardment of abuse from you. If so, you need to see a GP.

Good lad.
It`s painful to see Tim bullies at work.
That`s what huns do.Right?
Another illusion damaged.
When you se me twitch, let me know, never Gonny happen, ;))

I have to disagree, the GB do not see it as ‘their way or the high way’.
In fact they see themselves as the bearers of the traditions of the Celtic support. Their actions are merely a modern manifestation of our traditional rebellious nature.
Did those who gave out red cards at the Scottish Cup Final in 1988 ask the permission of their fellow supporters beforehand?
No, they assumed that the ethos of our club would result in overwhelming support.
They got it.
It’s not the GB who are out of step with our club’s traditions, it’s those in opposition who are.
TD67
I get it all right.
You don’t, simples, we are open to all, if you don’t like the politics who cares, you, like me are but a very small cog in the wheel that is Celtic, we are nada.
But for you to take over a blog with your anti Celtic ethos agenda is not what I would imagine a real Celtic man to do, but all to their own.

TD67 – See my post of 2301 just in case you missed it!
Yes I saw that, let me put the ball back in your court, and show me some thing nice she has said about the board and PL, YOU PROB. BE A WHILE LOOKING.
—–
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?
–
Being a Ghirl I was always rubbish at ball games! You keep the ball and answer my question when and where have you heard her speak?

TD I will look in tomorrow for your reply! G’nite and God Bless
An artist.
T4, how you doing buddy?
There’s nae lumps in my onesie, I keep it in top order. I’ll need it for the Barcelona games next season:-)
Reading some of the stuff regarding the GB earlier on. My view is get the GB to give Celtic their bank details (and make sure there’s more than 100 grand in the account) and if the GB feel the need to unfurl a banner which I’m sure everyone on this site knows UEFA will hammer Celtic for then let them go right ahead. When the money runs out then disband them. Do you see it happening. Me neither.
Talking of cold tea when I go on holiday, I lock my twenty or so bottles of whisky in the boot of my car just in case my son’s pals like whisky, drink my supply and replace it with a cheeky wee Tetleys!
I don’t know why but I also put my aftershave and cufflinks in there too!!
Then when I get back trying to remember where I planked the car key!!
Gemmell’s Twitter account, which was later closed, read: “McCoist is a *****, game against Stenny should be midweek?… Why, so we are ****** after working all day whilst your boys can lie and get a massage for three days before checking their £5k a week wages are in? Away and ****off #Embarrassing.
This young footballer nailed not only the fat sleakit bawbag, he was a Sevco ST holder who tweeted the truth, I’m sending a £10 cheque to ‘Stenny’ to help pay for his appeal/fine.
Any one else want to show support against SFA/Sevco and send support to Stenny.
ht – as BRTH said, the banner on another day, i.e. SPFL game wouldn’t have caused the same reaction and certainly no fine!
The GB guys knew what they were doing, baiting UEFA and sticking two fingers up to any previous agreements reached with the club/SLO. They put their egos before the good of the club.
Who gave them a mandate to do that and waste my/your season card money? They form a tiny fraction of the overall Hoops support, but think that they can speak for the many.
It’s also true that many fans used to feel the same about the Celtic Trust, but I’m not aware of them costing the club money in fines!
A wee aside…if the ‘bored’ were really that cynical, then they could have said they would have liked to provide financial backing to the Amsterdam fans on trial, but they had to pay £40K to UEFA instead!! Oooosht!
I’m defo off now. Good night peeps.

Greeting Cousin Patrick,
A good new year to you.
The beanie hats went down a storm in our house at Christmas and the daughter was sporting hers in the North stand on Saturday.
I must get back to you on the e-mail re the T shirts but not tonight as I am now knackered and going to the bed.
By the way would that be Gerd Muller or Gertrude Muller with the fat arse and the bandy legs?
Both conjure up a certain image!

Seville and the HEAT – it was 21°C (mid-day) when I visited recently, after this year’s Barca away game (December 2013) – hot!
2003 after ET – on that night we waked back to the city (extremely long trudge). Our route was parallel to the river and brought us into the city at the railway station – handy for where we were staying – Rue de la Catholicas (catchy name)!
There was a large electronic signboard displaying; time, date and temperature – it read: 1:00 am – 22nd May 2003 – 31˚C!
H!H!
Doc, you’ve stumbled to yer car and broken into yer boot ya bam. See my earlier post re hoodwinking cowiebhoy, he’s away to his chariot…………
Good to see you today and hope your evening went well.
Don’t you be up all night howling.
