McGeouch suffers in friendly test

824

Friendly games are all about building match sharpness while hopefully avoiding injury.  Celtic were given an excellent opportunity to shape up against Real Madrid last night but a suspected broken jaw to Dylan McGeouch who was knocked unconscious will set the player back several weeks.

Henrik Larsson spectacularly returned to action after a double jaw break after three weeks in 2003, scoring with a header within minutes although he walked off the field after his injury without additional complications.  We wish Dylan a speedy recovery and hope to see him in Champions League action next month.

    The life of a Catholic priest in rural Spain at that time was one of extreme poverty just like his parishoners.

  2. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    If they ever hold the Olympics in the Irish Republic, I will need a sedative……. LOL

  3. Ernie, come on then. Let’s pick this discussion up again.

     

     

    Who said this, when and what was the context?

     

     

     

     

    Debemos manifestaros nuestro dolor por el desconocimiento de la verdad de lo que en España ocurre. Es un hecho, que nos consta por documentación copiosa, que el pensamiento de un gran sector de opinión extranjera está disociado de la realidad de los hechos ocurridos en nuestro país.

    Sorry off to sleep but I think that you need to differentiate between the Church hierarchy and ordinary priests carrying out their mission.

    How come, if what you have posted is true, the authors of the above were confident of the truth in this follow-up comment?

     

     

     

     

    Conste antes que todo, ya que la guerra pudo preverse desde que se atacó ruda e inconsideradamente al espíritu nacional, que el Episcopado español ha dado, desde el año 1931, altísimos ejemplos de prudencia apostólica y ciudadana. Ajustándose a la tradición de la Iglesia y siguiendo las normas de la Santa Sede, se puso resueltamente al lado de los poderes constituidos, con quienes se esforzó en colaborar para el bien común.

     

     

     

     

    Oooh. Not so easy to reconcile this with what you have picked up from English-language Wikipedia.

    ‘Who said this, when and what was the context?’

     

     

    No idea, and can’t be arsed googling it.

  7. Come on Ernie.

     

     

     

     

    La Iglesia no ha querido esta guerra ni la buscó, y no creemos necesario vindicarla de la nota de beligerante con que en periódicos extranjeros se ha censurado a la Iglesia en España.

     

     

     

     

    It’s not that hard.

    night all …….. This Olympics was the best I have ever experienced

  9. Rangers Debt United

     

     

    From the BBC report on Ashley buying a corpse:

     

    “Ashley spent £134m to assume control of Newcastle in 2007.”

     

     

    Does this mean that we can now officially refer to Newcastle as “Rangers Debt United” ?

    Gosh you’re really knowledgeable.

     

     

    I’m ever so impressed.

     

     

    No, really. I’m not being sarcastic. I’m really impressed.

  11. Ernie, see if somebody “can’t be arsed” googling something, does that mean you just have to ignore it?

     

     

    I mean, like, even if it’s first hand accounts of what was really happening, as opposed to what we can read today from Anthony (I Much Prefer To Stick To English) Beevor and other ‘experts’?

  12. Come on Ernie. You’ve been pontificating about this all weekend. You can’t just back out of the discussion now.

    Oh look, you’ve done it again.

     

     

    Swoons.

    David Irving makes great play of the fact that he speaks German.

     

     

    Gives him a greater understanding, altogether more sympathetic, don’t you know.

    Rory 7 ahead on the 18th

     

     

     

    when he is on his game the rest can only play for second

  16. Ernie. Do you think there might be information coming out of Spain that could, just maybe, add to what Preston, Beevor, Sansom and these other English writers have presented to the world? Do you think that stuff that has never been translated from Spanish might just be able to help people in the twenty-first century understand?

     

     

    Or is it all sewn up on the English bits of Wikipedia and Amazon?

     

     

    Come Enrie. I thought you were serious about this.

  17. •-:¦:-•** -:¦:- sparkleghirl :¦:-.•**• -:¦:-• on

    Good grief, having sat up this long, The Who had better be good…..

  18. Come on Ernie. Just deal with the text I’ve shared with you.

     

     

    David Irving?

     

     

    Please, Ernie. I honestly thought you were serious.

  19. Best speech I heard this weekend was this from yesterday at Firhill when the tannoy announcer said The half time scores. “The early DIV3 kick off-Peterhead 2, Sevco 5088 or whatever they are called now 2.”

  20. Magnificentseven -Ripped up the field again,they were thinking his bird had put him off his stroke….but that’s 2 Majors now at his age,brilliant.

    You know more about the Spanish Civil War than Preston?

     

     

    That’s what you’re claiming?

     

     

    Seriously?

  22. Ernie, based on your post qt 23.29, I’m guessing you’re not going to like this next bit.

     

     

     

     

    El 27 de Febrero de 1936, a raíz del triunfo del Frente Popular, el KOMINTERN ruso decretaba la revolución española y la financiaba con exorbitantes cantidades. El 1º de Mayo siguiente centenares de jóvenes postulaban públicamente en Madrid “para bombas y pistolas, pólvora y dinamita para la próxima revolución”. El 16 del mismo mes se reunía en la Casa del Pueblo de Valencia representantes de la URSS con delegados españoles de la III Internacional, resolviendo, en el 9º de sus acuerdos: “Encargar a uno de los radios de Madrid, el designado con el número 25, integrado por agentes de policía en activo, la eliminación de los personajes políticos y militares destinados a jugar un papel de interés en la contrarrevolución”. Entre tanto, desde Madrid a las aldeas más remotas aprendían las milicias revolucionarias la instrucción militar y se las armaba copiosamente, hasta el punto de que, al estallar la guerra, contaba con 150000 soldados de asalto y 100000 de resistencia.

     

     

     

     

    Ooooh. Not so black and white now.

    Your Spanish is better than Preston’s?
