If you are looking for a (football) gem, you need to do some (data) mining. Jota was unearthed after a spell on the Valladolid bench. For 18 months, Nicolas Kuhn (24) has ploughed a furrow on the Rapid Vienna right wing. Just as Kuhn left Munich for Vienna, Rapid were deducted points for various financial failings, including not submitting accounts on a timely manner.
They currently occupy 6th spot in the Austrian Bundesliga, slightly closer to relegation than championship contenders. For context, the side two places above them in the table had an average home crowd last season of 2,537. Rapid are by far the best supported side in the country, but they are a model of disfunction.
Nicolas has made a total of 60 first team appearances, almost half of them in the German second tier (on loan from Bayern at Erzgebirge Aue). How many appearances a player has made before joining Celtic is a metric you and I discuss often. 60 is just about enough to fire up some interesting stats and have the player scouted, but not so many that he will attract clubs from the wealthy leagues.
This has been his breakthrough season, he started less than half Rapid’s league games last term but has been first choice for all but one game this season (he was carrying a knock that day). All I know for sure is that we are passing up players we like this month to concentrate on players we want. If he arrives, he fulfils the latter category.
Also, he was born on the first day of the new millennium. You feel old now, don’t you?

Has the terrorist left the building yet?
I knew he was gone the day I read his victim impact statement (they effing love those). The sooner that dreg has gone the sooner our reputation improves.
I have to say….this blog is a good read today. Some stuff not easy to take, but lots of very important nonetheless…..
Thanks,
Weeron.
Give us a clue was a good gameshow. We always found out the charade.
Unless you knew who it was it was really pointless.

Life is a minestrone……😁🍻
G Fear on.
WTF are you on about.Who said Flags and Banners murdered anyone.
Explain.
Bullseye was something else

Good fooking grief
“Fenian B****rd murders family pet” type headlines emerging re Kuhn …..
… and the guy hasn’t even signed yet.
SMSM. By morons, for morons.
Fool me once …. and all that.
Best left to Sevcoites.
Back to Basics
For hun by hun. It’s a laugh. 😁
If Abada leaves prematurely it is because of the pressure he is being put under in isreal….I very much doubt they’d have shown him getting cheered onto the park against the huns on isreali TV!
It’s a pity and I feel sorry for him dreadful predicament for such a young man …
TB
The GB were flying the flags long before October 7th.
Long before the Hamas murders and the resultant increase in ethnic cleansing and road to daily genocide.
The board decided to appease the establishment and multi-nationals.
Did anyone think that they would stop flying them ?
Did Abada and Biton not see the flags before ? Was this news to them ?
Biton more or less said he could ignore the flags, because prior to October 7th the Iron Shield kept his family and friends safe.
So if you’re looking for me to blame someone for Abada wanting to leave, it wont be the GB.
I see the Houthis in Yemen are now going to have a set to with some NATO forces,including the Brits and Yanks.Something about this Islamic Brotherhood,they all seem to begin with H.Hama’s,Hezbollah,and Houthis,and they all seem to have a death wih.That said,their religion promises them untold pleasures if they are martyred,as they call it,so probably a win win,so come ahead.
Not too sure if the SA court has used the right term,or thought it through,using the word Genocide in it charge.Almost every Muslim country has sworn this for Israel since its foundation.A fact that I see Netanyahu has pounced upon already.
Religion eh.Mankinds curse.
Cognitive dissonance at its most potent tonight.
Does anyone even know what Abada’s politics are?
(Not that it is anyone’s business but his).
He’s an Israeli – ergo he must be a slabbering disciple of Netenyahu and the IDF?
“Political scumbags with an agenda (regardless of nation) in pressuring sportspeople by playing patriotism card” shocker !!!!
Young man just signed a four year contract on enhanced money.
He was absolutely roared onto the pitch in the 83rd minute of the Glasgow Derby.
Everything else is speculation, conjecture, made up p15h, blindfolded guys throwing darts and broken clocks.
Time will tell.
Your man in Turkey got it right (for once) when he compared Netanyahu and his mob to the Nazis. No difference whatsoever. The US and Nato’s end game is to have a set to with Iran. They told us this and they keep telling us. One of the last countries of the “Axis Of Evil” which they have not bombed/invaded/ruined their economy, They told us so in writing. If N Korea didnt have nukes, they’d be in there too.
“Religion eh. Mankinds curse”
Nope TB.
The bastardisation of religious messages and texts is the curse.
The world’s three largest mainstream religions (by numbers of followers), Christianity, Islam, Hinduism … all have unconditional peace at their core.
Factions come along and twist the message to suit their own ends – often involves human aggression (savagery?) or real estate.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
We are playing into the SMSM nonsense of Abada being from israel
It matters not
Not one thing
The one thing that matters is we close ranks and not allow the likes of the daily rectum and the scottish hun to tell us how to react
Mon the hoops
At this moment in the nonsense of the winter break
The huns will always lead with nonsense
And win the Close season cup
Chill the fooking pill
fooking close season cup…….
they may have won by getting rid of lammers lol
Please keep the knock knee’d donkey boy called dessers
Dont ever sell him lol
Clunks,
I did say something that has been taken up by Celtic Blogs just parroting the Mail story.
Only James Forrest today giving the Mail Pelter’s. that last night about the Mail story.A discussion all night about,and as I said earlier,on a different subject,
B to B, Clunks
well said…
Yer aw dafties. So there now.
BTB,
Can’t agree with you sorry.The factions you talk about,have been there from the beginning of organised religion,all with the one aim,dominance of that religion.Genocides carried out in their names.Every religion going into battle with God on their side.Not even content with being the dominant religion in the world,but slaughtering millions in their own version of what that religion should be.
I say again,a curse.
turkey bhoy
The Republic of South Africa initiated proceedings against Israel in the form of an Applcation under the 1948 Convention (re Genocide etc). It accuses Israel of Actions (and Omissions) that are “genocidal in character”. The application is in the form of a 84 page document, the hearing is over two days in the Hague, and Israel is defending itself, also based on International Law. It is just the beginning of the process. The verdict of the ICC, a UN Court of Justice is some way off.
Feck the mail
They are no friends of ours
All it took was someone to mention that lawell uses that journo as an outlet
Surely if that was true Paul67 would be running a story on it
As he is a lawell outlet
LOL
Chill peoples
Spikey,
I get a lot of things right on here.
I did not call Netanyahu a Nazi,a lot of names you could call him.
am 100% sure if Mark Lawell signed his da’ and his heated driveway to play striker, left back and goalie
We would still beat the huns
By somewhere between 7 and 11 points

Humour is best when unexpected.
Celtic Mac,
I only mentioned the use of the word Genocide as being a bit unwise,as Netanyahu,has responded with the answer,Israel has publicly been targeted for Genocide by the factions involved now,and many other Muslim countries.An open goal.
I welcome the SA initiative,but fear it will make not a blind bit of difference.The chance for any peace was lost a long time ago sadly.
Does anyone have the details when Muslims or Christians murdered over 14,000 children in the full glare of the media as the world watched, while some attempted to excuse these actions with what can only be described as craven whataboutery?
Belmont Brian …well said 100% accurate
G Fear on,
Your right,you should try it sometime.Then again,keyboard warriors with a cause seem to be very serious,and righteous,so maybe humour and wit,not a strongpoint for you.
In relation to matters of faith ..per Thomas Aquinas ….for those with faith no explanation is necessary …for those without no explanation is possible 🤔
Constructing a cogent sentence seems to be giving you difficulties Turkey.
G Fearon 12.05
Hiroshima.
TT
G Fearon should be ignored peoples???
Jeest gonna no??
G Fear on,
H,mmm,let me try .6 million in the Holocaust.
Maybe 250,000,innocent Iraqis,in the Shock and Awe attack on Iraq.
Maybe the firebombing of Dresden.
Maybe in the bombing of Syria,where 250,000 were killed.
Maybe Russias attack on Ukraine where untold thousands have been killed.
For Muslim dead,killing each other,unknown thousands.
All I have time for.
A troll
G Fear on,
Cogent enough to blast your stupid question out the stratosphere.
Are you still pushing that 6 million figure, you need to do some revision Turkey.
Full glare of the media people. Full glare of the media. Were they snapchatting and tweeting in the 1940’s.
