Reports out of Ireland that Roy Keane is no longer in the running for the Celtic job are correct. The former Sunderland and Ipswich boss asked not to be considered as Celtic have tightened their shortlist over the past few days.
The overwhelming majority of opinion on the blog and elsewhere is that Celtic would be taking an enormous risk with Roy Keane, feedback which I know has reached the club. These decision are all risky, and there are no guarantees we will be able to do better than Roy, but I’d be prepared to take that risk.

Keane would have been told that the Celtic job was a fulltime position, which meant he would have to give up the ROI job and the pundit job. In addition, this would have meant him taking on a job with real responsibilities where the buck really did stop with him. Not knocking him as he is looking after himself.
Less money, more responsibility, more aggravation – was not what he wanted for himself and his family..
Not the right man for the job obviously, and glad he made his feelings known.

GCT, good on you pal. You seem happy with your lot.
Maybe catch up with you at one of Mr winklepickers famous hootenanny’s in the future, or a few drams at the society on Queens Road / Leith.
Take your doctor’s advice Tom:-)
ACGR,
Far too cryptic for me.
I’m a Donegal Bankie.
So, back to the vacancy.
How about Henke then?
Has that been completely ruled out of the question? I don’t think so.
Do it Dermot.
TCR, hee hee, I don’t recognise him. He’d win us the league but is he any good at the camp nou?

Friends of mine saw him in Kelso during a tour of Scotland about 2/3 years ago. He was drunk, slurring his words and could not be bothered. Zero interaction with the audience. They were not at all impressed and reckoned it was a waste of their money & time.
Glad to see he has woken up.

KK, sorry. Not trying to be cryptic. Your pal kojo posted about a year ago how unacceptable it was for Celtic players to have tattoo’s. That’s about as sensible as saying its unacceptable for them to be gay, Asian, or be football players.
Utterly irrelevant to most but just something I picked up on when I unfortunately read a post of his someone had cut and pasted.
GCT
Yep, gave Paulo a big Hail Hail, got a big smile and clenched fist in return. St Pauli T shirt on display in his band as well.
My 2 kids, 13 & 15, first gig, absolutely loved it. Set the bar high!

Looks to me more like some balloon resident in the Twaddel Avenue protest camp..
ACGR
Shut it ya tart ye!
Give me auld Carol and Fem Dom Judith, the beebs Scot weather babes. :))

Got similar feedback from relatives in Brussels on same tour. Think Paulo was doing some “experimenting” at the time. Honestly if you get a chance to see him, grab it, best gig I have seen in years.
ACGR –
Thanks mate.
I was at my doctor’s surgery last Thursday. He was giving me a report to give to my new GP in Edinburgh. In preparation for that consultation, I had a number of blood tests plus urine.
He started off by telling me that all my results were fantastic and that I should be very pleased, which I am. He told me just to keep taking the medication and to continue to watch what I eat and drink and carry on with the regular exercise and I will enjoy my retirement for many years to come.
So yes, I certainly do follow what my doc says and I never miss my medication.
Makes sense tae me.
ACGR,
The less I say about the preferences of our Fascist Faction, the better I will sleep.
Good Luck.
Sloleybhoy
Will do but I live in Uncle Sam land so mibbees aye, mibbees naw.
Thanks for the recommendation anyway.

Morning All.
I must confess to being ran absolutely ragged in the past few days and have about 80 pages to read back to find out what is going on in the world and so I have no idea about the state of play in anything.
The only thing I can say with total certainty is that if life goes on like this for much longer than I am totally banjaxed!
And with that I am off to the bed but before I go here is one of my favourite pieces of Hollywood which seems apposite at this moment.
And one night at a CQN event i promise to sing this……………..

Playing New York in June !!
Sold out though……
Hail Hail
DD, FFS, ye pay a man a compliment on a fine TV debut and get abuse……Poor form from a man on the verge of Hollywood. Where’s your humility?
BTW, what did they two auld dragons do with Kat Cubie? She wiz the biz but the auld munters couldnay take the competition.
BTW, don’t tell TBJ I called the auld dragon and auld dragon.
HH bruv:-)
KK,
Had a wee saunter round what was the old Union and Cunard St area when I was back home there a few weeks ago.
Changed days.
BRTH, sorry you’re ragged. You’ll be pleased to know “forrest fire” now has pride of place in young acgr’s den / room / dungeon, call it what you will.
In September when he buggers off to uni it’s going on tour. Ms Doc is having it for the remainder of next season and then the Cowiebhoy bar. After that it’s Kelvingrove or the Tate. They’re fighting over the detail.
TCR
Knew you would dig me for that. :)
James Delaney won the Northen Irish Cup but lost in the final of the Irish Cup. Celtic, Man Utd, Derry City legend!
DD,
AULD Carol??
That beaut is more than enough to put a grand smile on ma face of a morn.
Especially if I have a hangover..

Lucky bassas.
The manager who inherited one of the greatest players in the modern era while at Celtic – who was seen warmly hugging Mourinho like Seville never happened, tried to offload “I won’t stand in his way”Keano, as he squeezes Steve Walford onto the ROI’s bench.
If it was baseball, I would have to call that strike 2
Interesting Hardtalk on bbcnews24; christian purslow, former director of liverpool fc getting interviewed by stephen sackur.finance and football.well worth a watch on I player.
HH
DD, definitely not as I don’t agree with violence against women, ok I’d make an exception for that annoying wee cow in the sensodyne toothpaste ad but that’s another story.
Scary Judith wouldny last 3 rounds against the luvly Annabel. FACT
Haw
ACGR
Would pay to watch that fight. :))

An Tearman, is our old mutual friend in good fettle?
I’ll be bringing him a couple of bottles of red (TET’s recommended tipple) and I’ll need to organise to meet the auld bassa. He’s said he’s not going to the Aberdour day:-(
Poor show, I know he’s an auld fanny but he’s still a better sclaffbawer than me.
Inspiring.

Right. Have faithfully read back all 17 pages!
So we’re all still no the wiser!
Welcome back BadAssHT. And grand to see you Weefra.
ACGR. You’re a worry/caution. Delete as (in)appropriate!
Night Timdom
HH jamesgang
Macjay, that brought a wee smile to my otherwise miserable coupon. A great achievement for the young bhoy’s and hopefully several of them grow up to realise their dream of playing for the hoops in front of a full house at paradise.
They are Celtic
Goodnight Celtic Men and Wummin.
Hail Hail
I was listening to Radio National (Australia) last night. One of their people interviewed Maya Angelou just three weeks before she died. Part of that interview was broadcast last night, the full interview to be aired in a couple of weeks.
During the interview, she claimed to have Scottish blood coursing through her veins and revealed that she is a big fan of Rabbie Burns and in fact, taught Burns to hundreds of kids while teaching in Africa. She described how a Scots missionary taught her the Scots accent and she passed it on to her pupils, insisting that they recite the Bard in the “true Scottish tongue”.
She then proceeded to recite A Man’s a Man for Aw That in a very convincing Scottish accent.
It made for fascinating listening and finished off my day perfectly. I’ll have left Australia when the full interview is broadcast, but I intend to seek it out online.
I remember attending a lecture/recital of hers in New York City in the late 90s.
What an artist. What a woman. What a human being.
RIP Maya Angelou
