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.

    If Ian Black backed against Sevco, he must have tidied up.Celtic QNers…watch your online accounts. Keep you balance to a minimum and withdraw quickly any winnings. My account was hacked last week. Some smartarse emptied my account for Casino chips which I never used. Still contesting this with the bookie. Apparently wifi makes life easier for the hacker. Anyway, have enough for a carry out for Tuesday at 4 on ITV 4. Monthehoops

     

     

    Mine is the opposite, more money going in all the time, for some reason keep getting free bet vouchers!!! Haven’t used them in case the William of hill comes after me

  2. Sevcomedian introspection:

     

     

    “This may seem far fetched but as a rangers fan i’m starting think [utterly impossible] there is a collective group out there who are just sitting around in a wee dark room somewere just digging up anything they think will harm our club. I know this sounds crazy but some of the sh*t that gets said about our club at times crazy. Things as silly as this advertising bo***cks and if it is true why has it taken the sfa so long to charge a player involving betting, has someone just been digging around rangers players to try and find dirt to harm us again.I may well be mad and need help but things like this just seem to get me thinking.”

     

    ——

     

    ” I am 100% certain such a room exists.”

     

    ——

     

    “It’s not paranoia, there have been too many stories launched at times that all use the same terminology and style for my liking. What we are facing here is a highly organised campaign to discredit the club by any means. Evidence is sighted in certain peoples work that you later find was generated by someone of a similar ilk, who then fades away until their services are required again.” [And now in English, please]

     

    ——

     

    “Is it a coincidence that this campaign against rangers has began around the same time as the push for independance also. I really think there is a link.”

     

    ——

     

    “More often than not If a person is wearing a smile there is a victim attached somewhere…” [I see…..okay….]

  3. While we are discussing betting I have a terrible confession to make. I did something that I would never normally do, due to my great ability to give something the kiss of death. I put money on Celtic to win tomorrow night. Should we be worried?

     

    Well currently I am 3rd from bottom of the CQN predictor and languishing in the relegation spot of the CQN Coupon I have started with some of the Bhoys, currently no wins out of 3 :-(

  4. leftclicktic oscar in our thoughts on

    J Ledley is 5/1 & Mikael Lustig 8/1 to score anytime in 90mins tomorrow with wm hill

     

    and no Ian black never told me :))

  5. Has Ian Black got a bet on for tomorrow’s match on whether there will be a ritualistic slaughter of a ram during the ninety minutes?

     

     

    I can just hear him – “Goat ye!”

     

     

    HH!!

  6. what the fupp is going on with the black story and disciplinary procedure ?- multi million pound stories and deceptions are not reported or punished and then a player bets on games against minnows and is investigated. And Mr. Keith Jackson attempts to appear to be reporting on sevco and its incompetancies – what a weird hall of mirrors the SFA is !

    It seems Ian Black’s disciplinary record last season did suggest a gambling problem:

     

     

    Red cards: 1

     

     

    Yellow cards: 8

     

     

    Scratch cards: 6,343

    Sandy Bryson has announced that there will be no sanctions against Sevco as it is obvious that there was clearly no sporting advantage in playing Black in any game.

     

     

    BTW I hear that McOist asked WGS to rest Black against England as he was needed at Ibrox that night to paint the Broomloan Stand roof.

  11. Sandy Bryson say Ian Black could only have broken the rules if an SFA official was actually in the bookies at the time he put the line on.

  12. “You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em,

     

    Know when to walk away and know when to run.

     

    You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table.

     

    There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done.

     

     

    Now Ev’ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin’

     

    Is knowin’ what to throw away and knowing what to keep.

     

    ‘Cause ev’ry hand’s a winner and ev’ry hand’s a loser,

     

    And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.”

    The timing is interesting right enough – given that redundancies are expected down Ibroke way.

    Have to say that crossed my mind too. Dates back to 2006 and only just comes out now…..?

  18. BBC Scotland report that Shakhytor sacrificed a sheep in the tunnel prior to training today!

     

     

    They must be confused because we flew out of Aberdeen…

  19. If Black is made redundant, I need my living room painted and hall papered. Seriously. :))

    Anyone have a link to the GB singing the Izzy song. Getting frustrated at the games not knowing the words. Checked YouTube couldn’t find it.

     

     

    Watched the 1980 riot though and

     

    those pesky smoke bombs were let off. Noticed the fuds on horses only used there batons in one section. Guess what one.

  22. mighty tim supporting wee Oscar on

    Evening Bhoys and Ghirls, feeling quite relaxed about tomorrow. NFL has a full squad to choose from and I think we have a better squad than Karagandy. We also have the experience to see us through this game. So I feel that we will win 2-0 Sammi and Kris to be the Bhoys to score and Broonie driving us on.

     

    That my feelings and that’s what I will be betting.

     

    Once we have made it to the group stages then we will get the striker that we require.
