Lessons from Jerry Maguire

1815

News that a striker reneged on a verbal commitment to join the club 24 hours before deadline day should surprise no one.  Think back to that line from Jerry Maguire, when Jerry’s girlfriend hears he had secured a representative deal on a handshake, not an actual contract.  The agent’s reminder of Lesson One in business was sharp.

Last minute change of plans happen, but only when you’re doing last minute business.  We are now 10 hours away from the deadline and in desperate need for what we’ve been in desperate need…. to replace the long departed Gary Hooper.  It would be wrong to think that Scepovic was the only striker we were pursuing, so we’re not starting from scratch, but he was first choice.

The ball is still in play, not panicking yet.

    Yes I had concerns about the Dundee riots

     

     

    In fact Half Man Half Biscuit reissued their classic “Trumpton Riots” and renamed it Soapy Soutar riots after the Boxing Day shocks 2012. My 3 minders were tooled up so I was ok…..

    Ha ha

     

     

    You told us at 5:40 approx that SSM was away game for his tea and there would be no more work done.

     

     

    And I agreed wi ye.

     

     

    :D

     

     

    Armstrong would be a good signing based on the personnel we have available at the moment.

     

     

    A round peg for a round hole for a change.

    Not heard any negative news on Danny.

     

    Must be doing ok.

     

     

    Remember him well. Motoring down the touchline, with the 1-2’s as you say.

     

    Such a fit player at his peak. Physique like Bruce Lee without his top on, and fast as the wind.

     

    All the games I was at I never did see him score live.

     

    Thought I did once 1980 SC final, took me 10 mins to find out McCluskey had diverted his shot….happy days.

     

     

    Anyway

     

    Quick question CQNers

     

     

    Any of you see Danny score for Celtic?

     

    I never.

  5. Scepovic signing? Is he? Lol. Already labelled ‘prick’ by many on here after his u-turn behaviour yesterday. Oh, hang on that was me…

     

     

    Scepovic now enters the quiz pantheon for ‘Celts who have started on the back foot before even kicking a ball’…

  6. Lennybhoy:

     

    What happened?

     

    Did you nick Pete’s credit card or what????

     

    If you’re right you get the fabled CQN mhan of the window award mate…

  7. Have we managed to retain the services of Derk ?

     

    Or got rid of that dud as well, from JP last season

     

     

    Hail Hail

  8. Lol, SSN reporter at Everton now reporting from behind security barrier after fan previously popped big blue vibrator in his ear. Stewards have kept fans back to form a ‘dildo-free zone,.

    Might be on Celtic TV

     

    did I miss something?????

    Said the same on the last blog @11.30. Felt that we had dodged a Vidukaesque type bullet when Sceptic dick had a change of heart/wallet.

  11. hun skelper

     

     

    Did we not knock back a £1.5m bid for Agathe(although of course that may have been a story in ra papers)

     

     

    If it was a REAL bid……£50000 to £1.5m = 30 x profit.

     

     

    Wanyama……£950000 to £12m = 12.6 x profit

     

     

    I am glad we did not sell him though….loved the guy.

    I don’t think you should criticise Celtic players on the blog.

     

     

    Even if they are diddies.

     

     

    :-)

  13. Hoop hoop Hooray on
