Limited time to build fitness for new recruits

589

Celtic have only one game before they meet Benfica in the Champions League, away to St Johnstone on Saturday.  The Perth team are bottom of the SPL without a win so far this season, so will not present a significant challenge, but Celtic could do with a sterner test.

Lassad Noiuoiu, Efe Ambrose and Miku Fedor each need to be stretched before they will be ready for Champions League football.  Even if they get a full 90 minutes on Saturday, so I can’t see either starting against Benfica a week on Wednesday, unless they possess uncommon natural fitness, or our injury crisis steps up a level.

  1. But there is no way every Celtic supporter will cancel Sky, there are still thousands who buy the rags every day ffs.

     

     

    There may well be a meltdown, but it will be a meltdown that will be well coordinated.

     

     

    The middle east will blow, but it is being detonated by the major powers.

     

     

    They are deciding what happens next, not just the Americans, but China and Russia are in cahoots.

     

     

    Just look at Libya and Egypt, brought down the powers with quite amazing swiftness, taken control of quite a chunk of the oil and water reserves.

     

     

    Iraq is under control, well the wealth is, Afgahanastan is needed for the route for the pipe lines from the north.

     

     

    Iran will be next.

     

     

    Iran will be seen to be the agressors, but we all know who will be to blame.

     

     

    It’s a carve up of the worlds oil resources.

     

     

    This will have little effect to football in the west, or anywhere in the world, take away the opium, carnage ensues.

    Of course. And I don’t think he is unaware that they have had more to say to him about bugger all these last few weeks than they had in the previous months when it might have counted for something.

    Aye. I’ve been there before on the subject of the Myth – he wasn’t the manager for the first two by the way.

     

     

    But the target was always 10. They weren’t even subtle about that from the boardroom to their odious fans. They don’t like being reminded of that either.

     

     

    And yes, the Huns failed to beat Jock Stein’s record. They were the second team to claim nine-in-a-row … a pretty shallow achievement. I mean how many people can instantly remember the name of the second person claim they stepped on the moon.

     

     

    One thing though. Myth didn’t decide to stop spending the money – Moonbeams did. After another inglorious European exit Myth was told he was getting no more money and he was leaving at the end of the season.

    Really kind of you big fella thanks so much.

     

     

    Can I ask you to mail me again at your own convenience so that I can give you details how to donate to the quiz?

  8. Noticed that Keevins and Waddell are both bumping up the newco attendance story

     

     

    Makes sense if you are a failing newspaper dependant on good news newco stories for your existence

     

     

    It makes perfect business sense for them to run this story large because in a way it will indirectly influence the newco fan to keep going to Ibrox even in the coldest of winter nights

     

     

    The last thing that Keevins and Waddell want to see is a big drop in attendances at Ibrox

     

     

    Well if they are not going to the games the newco chumps are hardly going to bother buying their newspaper are they

     

     

    Disclaimer

     

     

    Keevins and Waddell may well be running these stories out of the goodness of their hearts and it has nothing to do with sales and self preservation

    I love the suggestion box the Huns have created for Alex Thomson – almost as funny as their attempted put-downs.

     

     

    They think people are bigots because they have Irish names, they think it a criminal offence to be an Irish Republican, they think having an EBT is a problem rather than the use of the EBT – I could go on but I would be here all night.

    I watched it. It was brilliant. The Galway player showed tremendous nerve to score from that free hit in the last seconds. Fantastic entertainment.

    Been a fan of the game for about 20years, but never really followed a team until Mo White tackled Drew Bledsoe and put him out of the game. A rookie QB took over from him, TomBrady, and it was interesting to see how he got on. So I started watching out for him and the Patriots. The rest, as they say, is history!

     

    I bet Mo White and the Jets could have that tackle back!!

     

    I’ve been to Wembley a couple of times, and was in Dublin last week for the NotreDame game. Can’t do Wembley this year though.

     

    Looking at going to the States for a couple of games for my 50th birthday in a couple of years. Would love to take in a play-off game, but Jets-Pats would do!!

    You know….

     

     

     

    Jimmys brothers pals cousin was speaking to a taxi drivers sisters pal who heard a guy in the back of his taxi tell another guy that his cousins hairdresser saw a tweet in her pals pals pals pals twitter account about antony singing a bigotted song That the corrs sung?? So it must be anony stokes coz he’s Irish too…

     

    And ah bet it was a bigot song because ah blame it on aw those kafflic schools .

     

     

    Bet Alex Thomson doesn’t report that coz I saw him with a marks and spencer bag … That’s green so he must be a sympathiser with aw those Fenians and because of all this ….

     

    It’s Neil lennons fault … He brings it all oan himself .

  23. What Is The Stars

     

    When you watch a game like that, then you watch a soccer game in the EPL or Europe where players feign injury or go down if someone farts near them, it is embarassing.

     

    I was talking about this to some Irish friends last week in Dublin about the same thing.

     

    Instead of hero worshipping overpaid, lazy, skilless soccer players in the EPL, the Irish should be putting the hurlers and football players on pedestals. Or Katie Adams. They have something fantastic in front of them, but their heads are up their rear ends when Sky and the EPL are on the TV.

    But there is no way every Celtic supporter will cancel Sky, there are still thousands who buy the rags every day ffs.

     

     

    There may well be a meltdown, but it will be a meltdown that will be well coordinated.

     

     

    The middle east will blow, but it is being detonated by the major powers.

     

     

    They are deciding what happens next, not just the Americans, but China and Russia are in cahoots.

     

     

    Just look at Libya and Egypt, brought down the powers with quite amazing swiftness, taken control of quite a chunk of the oil and water reserves.

     

     

    Iraq is under control, well the wealth is, Afgahanastan is needed for the route for the pipe lines from the north.

    Iran will be seen to be the agressors, but we all know who will be to blame.

    I post this often on here.

     

     

    Fast forward to 2.22 to get a handle on why America is turning the secular Middle East countries into Muslim Brotherhood groups.

     

     

    Bush said exactly what the American/ Masonic builders were planning.

     

     

    The Bible tells us Damascus is going to be destroyed totally in one night. Information is crucial.

     

     

    Check out the longitude and latitude of Damascus 33° by 36°. Unbelievable Mathematics and extremely accurate detail.

     

     

    For those wanting more proof. All I can do is post the latest Jibber Jabber from the sites I feel are worth listening to.
