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.

    The next time they hear CL music at Ibrox……… Celtic will be in breach of Glasgow city councils noise limits

  2. I remember when the name of Charles Green was mentioned, fans of Sheffield Utd warned it would be in-fighting and recrimination and would all end in tears.

     

     

    The Sevconians refused to listen.

    Ramsden’s Cup music being written and performed by Dennis Waterman.

     

     

    Trophybhoy- there was also a TV play a few years ago, Jason Isaacs played Tony Kay.

    Sevco headin’ to the proverbial Hell in the proverbial handcart, havin’ made the proverbial detour up Shit Creek sans paddle.

    The evidence was there and easy to obtain regarding Chuck

     

     

    Now Sevco fans will be the same as Sheff Utd fans in hating Chuck, as you say if only they had listened

  6. Would it be worth putting Kayal in the middle with Ledley and playing Broony on the right?

     

     

    Broony’s passing on artificial turfs is suspect. We could still use his talents on the right.

    “I am Chief Executive. I take the decisons and I live by them” was Green’s retort to criticism of his operations. In the end he died by them. His position becoming increasingly untenable, in March 1998, Green’s role was “redefined” and moved away from team and management affairs; his removal from the club impossible at the time due to pro-McDonald factions on the board. His eventual resignation saw him receiving a payment in excess of £100,000 an amount that caused consternation and raised questions when highlighted by fans and shareholders at the AGM. He didn’t do badly for himself out of a relatively unsuccessful spell at Bramall Lane.

    CQN predictor is indeed the one CRC is running, I was just mentioning my progress in it!

     

     

    The CQN fantasy league is different (http://fantasy.premierleague.com/), its where you set up your own team and get points if your players score, assist, keep a clean sheet etc

    INTERVIEWER: What would you consider to be your biggest weakness?

     

     

    APPLICANT: Honesty.

     

     

    INTERVIEWER: Honesty?I don’t think honesty is a weakness.

     

     

    APPLICANT: I don’t give a f*^k what you think. :)))

    No need to panic on their behalf.

     

     

    Keith Jackson will be much more vigilant next time around.

     

     

    He is the new self-appointed Witchfinder-General,and won’t get fooled again.

     

     

    Of course,his silence may be bought or bullied,but we can’t hold him responsible for such human frailties,can we?

    Not too late to join fantasy league as well if you want, just follow the link in my previous post and registration details, then join the CQN league with the code 383718-99007

     

     

    Light hearted competition (though I reckon there’s a few at the top who will disagree with me ;) )

    Know what you mean-my sister was brought up in Celtic in the 80s.

     

     

    A period of glorious failure when compared to the talent we had,the prizes we should have won.

     

     

    She is now a confirmed pessimist,and rarely disappointed.
