Half the battle when it comes to PR is not to score an own goal, which Neil Lennon managed to do in his pre-match press conference today when asked about the local ‘tradition’ of ritualistic animal slaughter before the game. “You have to respect the traditions in Kazakhstan, they have a different culture. We have our traditions.
“Our scouts watched Shakhter’s game against Astana on Friday. We know the played a weakened team.
“We arrived early to adapt to the weather condition. The journey went well.
“Tomorrow we play against a strong team. It’s important to get a good result in the first game to increase our chances of reaching the Champions League group stage.”
Really looking forward to this one now.

Full moon tonight, may be interesting reading later.

Sorry didn’t mean to paint Chuckles in a bad light, Black is doing enough of that!
Hat and coat!
Ian black set up …. he would never gamble his wages on fitba.. the guys tighter than two coats of paint.
When sevco signed him they were aware of his brushes with the bookies. .. not a high roller though. Sevco thought the crowds might flock to ibrokes to see him and plastered him onto posters and that crowned it all off.
Pfayr-working too hard….?
Never understood crowds going to watch a hanging ,stomach churning
to say the least…..but ….see that bastard Dallas,I would be fighting for a front row
seat.
Forgive me Lord,
Seen a few of the lads posting about “City” earlier…..
In all my time in football I have as yet to meet a more anti-social group of supporters and complete misfits in all my life….
And ive been around for a while……
Talk about money going to your head????
They didnt even win a game in the CL last season……
Rather Pathetic……
AB?
Alfie ….Bogason?
HH!!

Priceless lol
did Black engineer this himself ?
is there not more money in Homers (not Home and Awayers) doing up peoples big hooses, than playing football once your out the big cups.

Guy’s name was Taube and the story was in the Sunday Mail.

I got an e mail today saying there was a scandal concerning shug dallas in the offing.
No idea if there is any truth in it, we can but hope.
For me, scottish referees involved in a scandal, never !!!

I wonder if there is any chance we may have been wronged by Mr Dallas?
Odds on I’d say!
The Fall of The House Of Dallas now that would be worth watching….
Pfayr-a wee tip mate,don’t read back :))

“Guy’s name was Taube and the story was in the Sunday Mail.”
I didn’t think I was imagining that. But to be honest it’s so difficult to keep up with the ongoing saga at Ibrox.
It’s like the rejected scripts from Eastenders.
I’m looking forward to the episode where Walter Myth comes back as a junkie though.
Twitter.
It would be interesting to see exactly what evidence the @ScottishFA have of Black’s betting habits. How was it obtained for instance?
‘Arry for NU job?
Any update on how the Aerosols are handling the ‘painting by digits’ on FF?

Brilliant.
I’m normally a happy clapper but I’m a wee bit nervous about tomorrow night. No idea why as I haven’t got a clue about Karagandy. Hope I’m wrong.
Can’t watch the game as I’m in a meeting till 6pm. Will have my phone on silent and tune into CQN.
Neil Lennon :- “I spoke to John Park (football development manager) late last night and he was working on a few players but no news today.
I’m quite happy things are still going on in the background, I think Pukki will sign and I think a couple more who haven’t been mentioned in the press will join too.
I hope we get group stages, I’ve never wanted it more. Never in all my puff.
FF saying ..proof that refs favoured the taigs.

If Lenny is given the right backing and we manage to qualify for the CL group stages each season we could build up a serious amount of funds to ensure the Club’s continued well being and at the same time build a top quality pool of players that we can have reasonable expectations of regularly progressing beyond the group stages. I feel that it is vital that Celtic establish a reputation as a team that play at a high level in Europe each season and that the clubs from the Big 5 countries learn to fear being drawn against.
THE EXILED TIM
Re Dallas. I was at a youth football meeting and a refereeing delegate was invited to provide a talk.
The guy was in awe of Dallas, I’d go so far to say he was in thrall at the cheating clown. It struck me as bizarre but he was so open and that despite Dallas being out of office for quite some time.

Problem is, will it be used, a bit like the dossier that was mentioned by Dr. John and our own Paul among others.
Whatever.

I haven’t seen any direct quotes about a new contract for Alfie Finnbogason. I have seen a few media stories but no direct quotes, and with Herenveen apparently financially tight it may just be posturing on their behalf to bump up the price

All depends on his status in the ludge I would imagine.
Can’t be said for collum mind you, his kind are much worse imo, whatever floats your boat I suppose.

Provan likes to punt himself as the new Gerry McNee, a fearless voice not scared to call it.
Well he’s another whos stuck his nut in the sand regarding the real crux of the Sevco Scandal. As much as I couldnt go McNee, I dont think hed have pussy’d about with the story of the century, and he wouldnt have missed Murray and his poodle press pack either.
Met Dallas Years ago before he was a ref..thought..was an a- hole.
