Manager happy with preparations ahead of tomorrow

854

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.

    Seems a few people are getting their nimos mixed up in the friends reunited Charlotte leak. Remember it was the LNS enquiry not LNB.

    What I find strange is that the rule 22 quoted does not seem to differentiate between betting on the team you’re with and betting on other teams.

     

     

    However, the charge sheet for Black splits his sins into 3 categories, making it look worse and making a sacking easier.

    Loved Artur too. As you say some players just get what playing for Celtic is all about. As well as the ghuys you mention we now have Joe Ledley, Sammi and I believe Mikael Lustig falls into the same category.

     

     

    I’m listening to Jamie Carragher again. All the dogs in the street are barking.

    Evening all,

     

     

    Just in from a day of meetings and about to adjourn to the pub.

     

     

    However, I thought I would let everyone know that Mackenzie received a donation today from a certain Mr S Petrov!

     

     

    Well done Stan!!

    How strange that down the years,Rangers players had their “indiscretions” covered up or defended by their club.

     

     

    But not now.

     

     

    I wonder why. And I wonder what Black’s reaction will be when he finally figures out that he has been shafted.

  9. Woman:

     

    Do you drink beer?

     

     

    Man: Yes

     

     

    Woman:

     

    How many beers a day?

     

     

    Man:

     

    Usually about 3

     

     

    Woman:

     

    How much do you pay per beer?

     

     

    Man: $5.00 which includes a tip

     

     

    (This is where it gets scary !)

     

     

    Woman:

     

    And how long have you been drinking?

     

     

    Man:

     

    About 20 years, I suppose

     

     

    Woman:

     

    So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be approximately $5400 …correct?

     

     

    Man:

     

    Correct

     

     

    Woman:

     

    If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?

     

     

    Man:

     

    Correct

     

     

    Woman:

     

    Do you know that if you didn’t drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?

     

     

    Man:

     

    Do you drink beer?

     

     

    Woman:

     

    No

     

     

    Man:

     

    Where’s your Ferrari?

  10. 41 minutes left to get a player in for second leg. In saying that, wil put a few bob on Balde to score tomorrow.

    I’m totally with you – posted something similar earlier on. Been going on for seven years and they’ve only just found out about it now? Hmmmmm……..

    TOSB, you could add Izzy he gets it big time, was the only player to jump the advertising boards & shake hands with the fans on the last day of the season, i was impressed.

  14. A bloke goes to the local council to apply for a job in the office The interviewer asks him, “Are you allergic to anything?”

     

     

    He replies, “Yes, caffeine.”

     

     

    “Have you ever worked for the public service before?”

     

     

    “Yes, I was in the army.” he says, “I was in Iraq for two tours.”

     

     

    The interviewer says, “That will give you 5 extra points towards employment.”

     

     

    Then he asks, “Are you disabled in any way?”

     

     

    The guy says, “Yes. A mine exploded near me when I was there and I lost both of my testicles”.

     

     

    The interviewer grimaces and then says, “O.K. You’ve got enough points for me to take you on right away. Our normal hours are from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm…

     

    ..but you can start tomorrow at 10.00 am – and carry on starting at 10.00 am every day.”

     

     

    The bloke is puzzled and asks, “If the work hours are from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm, why don’t you want me here until 10.00 am? I’m not looking for any special treatment you ‘know”

     

     

    “What you have to understand is that this is a council job,” the interviewer says, “For the first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our testicles. There’s no point in you coming in for that.”

    I think it has something to do with being Honduran …. I was there earlier this year…. everywhere you look, (knock off Honuduran shirts for sale)…. as I was on a beach/diving holiday, I was usually wearing a celtic top….

     

     

    The locals were always saying …. Celtic… Izzy … Celtic (I didn’t get much else… my Spanish isn’t very good), but they were obviously passionate about their football, and seemed to genuinely know and like Celtic.

     

     

    Great people!

    It was hard at first but I’m thinking less and less about them with each week that passes. As far as I can see things are picking up in the SPFL. There’s a decent level of competition. The teams who finished below us last season compete well against one another and hopefully will make life difficult for us as some of them did last season. We have too many resources for them to beat us in the League but more now have a chance of playing in Europe. Maybe in a few seasons if Celtic can continue to compete well in CL, Scotland might win back a second CL spot. It would be galling though if Thems got it instead of more deserving cases like The Dons.
