We’ll all be supporting Mikael Lustig and Georgios Samaras as Sweden and Greece attempt to qualify for the World Cup tonight but the prospect of Lustig, Samaras, Izaguirre, Ambrose, Forster and possibly van Dijk not having a break until July, days before the Champions League bandwagon starts rolling again, is unappetising.
Celtic contributed more players to the 1998 World Cup than any other team. Perhaps as a consequence, we started the new season in third gear, unable to string two league wins together until thumping five goals past a now defunct outfit. A Perfect Day.
Georgios, Mikael, Emilio and Efe are hugely important players to Celtic. They are also players we have an excellent chance of retaining, which in some respects makes it even more important that they are ready for action early than those like Fraser, who until he signs his new contract we can be less sure of retaining.
Best of luck to Greece and Sweden tonight, but if your guys return home disappointed there will be compensations.
Ross County have won the respect of many, and rightly so, for building a successful football club from little more than sticky backed tape and empty washing up bottles, but one of their key achievers, manager Derek Adams, has to be one of the most ungracious people in the top fight game, a fact now being picked up in the wider media.
It is unfathomable if this trait is a fundamental aspect of the club’s success. The clichéd football manager is an unapproachable tyrant but surely there’s more to it than that?
I’ve heard a good few footballers tell their tales of drama, they all have them, even the quiet ones, but it is an objective fact that Frank McAvennie has more stunning stories than anyone in the game. I’ve heard him tell some publicly, and then listened to the really incredible stuff privately.
The Untold Truth with Frank McAvennie, is at Victoria’s Night Club this Saturday 23rd. Doors open at 7pm for a three course meal, entertainment and Frankie recounting his stories. There will also be a sporting auction and a Q&A session. Book at www.franktalks.co.uk

Here is the video that the folks at Sevco didn’t want you to see…
————————-
Brilliant – didn’t know whether to laugh or vomit.
You have to say though they were 100% right – there was a day of reckoning.
Unfortunately for Traynor it didn’t involve any loyalty or dignity or the like.
Just a P60.
I’d go for The Celtic Way, as Kerrydale St sounds too much like a Website.
Might seem ridiculous now (or not) and more than a tad insane in its level of misguided self importance but…
I grew up a stone’s throw from Burnbank and 10mins walk from ‘Burnbank Centre’, which hosted one of the most renown ‘scheme pubs’ in ML3, never mind ‘the jaffa’.
When Pope JP was visiting all those years ago you couldn’t move down BB way for kids and adults with a large “No Pope in Burnbank!’ badges.
A sad fact.
So too is the amount of times I’ve heard vicious, vindictive and nasty stories told about Jock Stein by some Burnbank ‘worthies’ – ultimately childish tittle tattle, but mean and nasty – like bad kids can be…
I think you can ascertain I don’t like BB.
U
weet weet
Be good if her busy filming schedule allowed a space for………. CQN 10.
How about
MAGGIE MAY WAY

…or they could put on a “Poppy Walk”……….same thing.
They’ve got the costumes……..the gun’s and the instruments……….
the long wait
there was a lingering affection towards enoch powell
Bsr
I want a table for a ten ;)))

the long wait is over-VG

The end of that clip was very funny. 0:-)

Dropping in to wish Martin”Big Rogie”Rogan a speedy recovery after his op’to rebuid his shattered jaw this morning.
He recieved the injury in a bout on Saturday night
Here’s a great article in the Irish Examiner about him
Scarey stuff growing up in Belfast in the dark old days
Hail Hail BB
Ulysses McGhee …..Unfortunately,through work,used to know guys who drank in the Clansman in Burnbank.
Should have been called the Klansman.
These guys were seriously sinister Orcs whose only ever summer holidays were taken in East Belfast.
Here’s the article now,sorry

RIFC shares now trading at 41.50p, which matches the all time low figure.
I can understand folk selling, but who in their right mind is buying?
Sevco lay chicken story due to Celtic duck
67,
Its probably kojo, he’s always telling us to buy on the way down
Norway TV only have 1 camera covering the game

“When Pope JP was visiting all those years ago you couldn’t move down BB way for kids and adults with a large “No Pope in Burnbank!’ badges.”
I seem to remember the Vatican was shattered when JP11 had to cancel the Burnbank gig.
It must break their black hearts that the place is only famous because Jock Stein comes from their midden.
BMCUWP…
Right,today was Burnbank and Larkhall (just for comparison).
Tomorrow was thinking of West Lothian.
Thursday…..sorry mate….Ayrshire getting it…..particularly the wee Orange villages where the inhabitants eyes get closer together the further you drive into them.I can hear the banjo music over the flutes and drums in my head now.
@Heavidor: RIFC shares fall another 5.5% to 42.5p & test all time low as factions draw up battle lines & Worthington prepares to challenge ownership.

One of the bonuses from that day was Bertie breaking big Provan’s leg. They were charging around like lunatics for 86 mins. There were 10 red white and blue puddings on th park that day.
What a goal. Absolutely superb.
Amido Balde on the score sheet after 7 minutes in U20 game.
Having Billy Dodds analysing an international match, kind of sums up Scotland.
Good point about Celtic players in the World Cup but it’s good to watch them, let them play on for the CL qualifiers (if we are not holders) winners of the World Cup will be allowed to celebrate though. Rest them in the time before the group games.
Would be brilliant to see Samaras play in the World Cup bit his contract is ideally situated for him should he have another good World Cup…..
Sannabhoy
order placed for the new Kano Foundation T Shirts, have to say they look the part,
just in time for Christmas as well..
Cheers
Norway manager a ringer for Martin McGuiness…
Stokes starts for ROI
Broonie has a wee kick at a guy….
I find it really interesting to read the acclaim to Bobby Murdoch. He WAS a fabulous player and one of the very best. It got me to thinking, who is the best ever player for the Mighty Celtic,eh? Toughie for sure.
Fence sitting I know but for me, the most skilful by a country mile was Lubo. The best player would be Jinky.
Hail Hail
KINGLuBO
Estadio Nacional.
Did you make up your mind to come back for the game on Tuesday, or are you just going to work on. Looking forward to a wee drink with you.
Are you going to the CQN10 party on 14th March, I’ll keep a seat for you if you want to go.

*different game, we lost 0-1 when orange person scored for them at ayebroke a year after the game BN is talking about. My memory of the 2-0 game is Celtic supporters whistling and humming tunes in the 2nd half. We also gave them the ball to play with in the middle of the park but they never got any further.
Broonie being Broonie…………….an absolutely STUPID kick at an opponent from the back AGAIN. He just does not learn.
Not good stuff to watch btw
Adam’s first touch Zombie like!
Just catching up, but……
(Peter Lawwell)……., to date, has failed to offer an apology for his slur against the world’s most successful domestic football club, Rangers FC.
That’s like me saying I’m the world’s tallest dwarf.
No offence intended to the vertically challenged of which I’m one.
Question for Scroat Nevin?
Why do you call an area, an errria?

Adam is never an international. Very poor player. As for Whittaker???
Decided to switch over to watch the Algeria – Burkina Faso world cup qualifying game.
Wasnt particularly bothered who won.
Then the first thing I seen in an Algerian shirt was the baw face bougerra moaning at the referee.
C’mon the Burkina Faso!
