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.

I wasn’t doubting your source, and had read that before, just how long it would take Chuckles to write the cheque, if he ever got around to it. Agreeing to a deal and seeing it through are not things Spivs see as something they need to adhere to.

Paoloshoots good luck wee Oscar
I hope you’re right about the signing of quality players. I agree with selling players if we get the right (large) transfer fee in but we must try to improve team development by ensuring that we use the money wisely to buy in quality players. I’m against buying a job lot of cheap projects. Make sure that the project has been well scouted, carry out the proper background checks and then get them in and work very hard at coaching them to help them fulfil their potential.

First time post, very angry and upset at the lack of vision shown by the board ,we all knew that our top players would leave in the close season. Amateurish we did not have a replacement striker in mind, scrambling around in the bargain basement at this stage is not on. For the first time in my life I am pondering regardless of outcome this season, if I will t let that lot pull the wool over my eyes again with false promises. 45 years it has taken me, far to long to come to the conclusion that we’re being played. More arguments that I care to remember against good friends and fellow Celtic supporters, telling me how naive I was. No More
Whats that all about,Alfie?.

Take it you mean the Uni Cafe on Byres Road?
===========================
Do they have a drinks licence?
Didn’t someone with connections to one of the ole paramilitary groups they sing about get murdered on the marble staircase about 10 years ago?
Classy free kick from Yaya Toure. 3-0 City.
If City wish, they could get 5 or 6 easy.

Things can only get better too,
now that they have mastermind Jabba in charge of the PR
and Charlie in and out the boardroom and the front pages.
Pantomime season is an all year round festival in Glasgow.

You’re being a bit hasty sir.
Let the poor SFA get that sectarian singing investigation out of the way first
If Ian Black was desperate for money surely there must have been a charity he could steal from….then he’d be in the clear…
Newcastle could take a right sore one here ..

No fan of Black but let’s be clear -he’s getting binned because the zombies want him off the wage bill -no other reason!
Would that be A Black Bin Bag,hes getting binned in?.
@Propa_Gander @corsica1968 Rumors on KDS that London press pack travelling up to Ibrox tomorrow to cover breaking news. Same story?
Leave Cara alone guys!
It’s not every night you almost get to hear Dolphin spoken on national TV!
Black’s a patsy – much in the way that TGEF was hired to be Minty’s patsy!
Earlier – been out for a while – Bada ( I think – apologies if it wasn’t ) – raised the case of Michu at Swansea
He was bought for a couple of million last year and now they seem to want £25M for him
This is supposed to justify us paying £5M for AB who only cost £500K last year
However there are some big differences
Michu scored goals in Spain before going to Swansea – a much higher level than AB ever played at
Secondly Arsenal have made it clear they have £ 40 M to spend on a striker like Suarez
That allows Swansea to inflate Michu’s price greatly
HH
Pfayr-we can but hope :)
How comes thems don’t like Greengo anymore
I thought they thought he was a top man who understood their culture , history and awe rat
Ashley might be on the blower to Challs to see if Sally available for NU job.
Hi Ghuys
I think its sad the way a proffessional footballer’s character can be stained on some blogs by anonymous posters.
Therefore i think that Ian Black isn’t as bad as he’s being painted.

What makes you say that ?

You do know you are speaking about a man with Rangersitis?
Challs is a gem among gems.

Now,if that were the case,there would have been a police investigation,so clearly that is just a malicious TIMMY lie.

The Steve Jennings arrest was to do with heavy betting from the Liverpool area (where Jennings was youth player with Wayne Rooney at Everton) that there would be a red card in the game against Hearts.
Jennings got a second yellow 8 minutes from time for mouthing off to Referee Steve O’Reilly.
Black was at hearts at the time.
————————————————
through all of last season, for me the most shocking result that happened, and then defended by this
” The Motherwell manager Stuart McCall had questioned the notion that his side were pre-match favourites, and he was proved correct as they tumbled out to the Third Division team.”
Rangers 2 Motherwell 0
SOMEONE SHOULD ASK QUESTIONS.
Black grassed up by someone who has sat on the information for quite some time, it seems.
I have it said it before …… information is often more potent than money.
I always think of a certain referee who was ultra helpful to the previous club that played at Ibrox.
When he outlived his usefulness, the scandal hit the headlines.

It’s the ole board meeting tomorrow.
The one where the Zombies finally realise they can’t get rid of Challis just by saying they want it to happen.
Croppy Bhoy
AB? you are determined to get the Holy Goalie back to Celtic. :-))
OKSC
Jennings was charging about like loony trying to get himself in bother …if only he had a CFC shirt on he’d have been assured of a red card
croppybhoy-thanks for your reply,AF scoring regularly in a good league IMO.I posted earlier that with Heerenveen offering AF a new contract,he doesn’t have an agreed buy out in his current deal.His agent will want a payday,i think £3-3.5 mil might do it.All my own guesswork of course :) HH
TOSB – Yes that would be the right idea, maybe we have moved on from prospects to early stars , i like many others are impatient about allowing our spine to be sold and leaving too much to chance imo , i hope pedros gamble pays off for him & us. That we can fish in a better pond once we’ve qualified, but if we don’t see new signings fans will continue to vote with their feet we are over reliant on fans attending matches and the peripheral spend that goes with it. If we have football the celtic way to watch then they will return, on that note why don’t we have season books on the web that are reducing in price after each match so fans at different stages in the buying process can still buy them? however i feel that many fans think we are being sold down the river in terms of signings. We have been told that all money from signings will go back into the team and that if NFL thinks that a player is worth £5m then he can have him. That’s good enough for me at the moment lets hope we back our manager as the alternative isn’t worth thinking about!
!!Bada Bing!!
I suppose you can see the attraction for Newcastle. FPLG is the only manager capable of maintaining the Geordie’s fantastic record in cup competitions……….
Pfayr
Look at the last word of Philcool’s post and then think of Black’s former occupation:-))
Black will be satin in house brushing up on his defence. I hope he doesn’t let distemper of his get the best of him…
-steinreignedsupreme-rumour the big handed Yorkshireman will be back on the board :))
Re: the Sevco board meeting – I was told earlier ‘it will not take place at Ibrox – the location is unknown’.
No doubt Challs will chose a Catholic Church…

Of course …:-))
