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.

    Anyone got a link to Leckie’s article on ‘warning the bhuns’ 15 years ago….?

     

     

    ——

     

     

    I doubt that happened the way he described it. The sad fact is he knew about it, they all did, however failed to drive the message home

     

     

    That’s the glaze on the Cherry on the icing on the cake … They understood the problem and failed to call it out

     

     

    Minty had them by the nuts….still has

     

     

     

    Makes me smile how they bought into that p@sh..

     

     

    A wee bit like anyone right now daft enough to buy commercial or private property when interest rates will soar soon enough and property prices will sink 30% shortly after…

     

     

    The writing is on the wall.

     

     

    Clear yer debts if you can and batten down the hatches, it’s gonna get bumpier.. Much bumpier!

     

     

    We could still get a heid the ba in the net striker tho’. :)

  2. Jungle Jim,

     

     

    Thanks for that. It doesn’t affect me,just interested as it happens every year.

     

     

    “The Rangers FC is the company which owns the club called Rangers”

     

     

    This is part of the attempt to “prove” that Sevco are Rangers. The argument is that Rangers (the club) was sold from Rangers (the company) to Sevco and so the club still exists.

     

     

    Basically it’s total nonsense. What s the club? How is it seperate from the company? After all the players are employed by the company and it is the company that sells tickets to fans.

     

     

    And, if they knew the history they would know that their original club (ie a few folk getting together for a common purpose) incorporated to become a company. The club became a company – they are not two seperate things.

    Does anyone know if the away tie in Sweden will be televised? M2M

     

     

    **********

     

     

    I know that the game is being televised in Ireland on TV3.

     

     

    Usually when that happens, Channel 5 have the game in our next door island.

     

     

    I’m sure it will be on somewhere.

  5. Good Morning CQNers.

     

    5 years ago this morning, my family and I were in the Estadio National in Lisbon, where we made the pilgrimage from Estoril via the train to Cruz Quebrada then walked the rest to the stadium to celebrate my 40th birthday. That feeling will never be bettered.

     

    Sitting in the stadium that morning 5 years ago, I would never have dreamed that the tax dodgers would be in Division 3, albeit helped by everyone from the SNP,SFA, SPL,SFL who broke every rule to keep them in existance. I still think this has got a long way to run, especially when the BDO go ‘medieval’ on the carcase.

     

    Lifes Good

     

     

    ( ps, Lisboa, I’ll see you in 5 years time)

     

     

    Hail Hail

  6. NEILMCCALLUMLENNON on

    Should I feel guilty if no Celtic fans turn up for the away game at Rugby park? I would love it and I won’t.

  7. Gordon_J backing Neil Lennon,

     

     

    I think I can help even more on this argument.

     

     

    Companies are legal entities. In the eyes of the law they share a number of rights with people – they can be charged with man slaughter etc.

     

     

    So for ease it easier to think of them as people in their own rights.

     

     

    So my friend is a member of a golf club and wins several medals and trophies.

     

     

    I have the same name as my friend and he has (sadly) passed away and leaves his membership to me in his will (this golf club has allowed for this transfer to occur in its rules).

     

     

    Do you think anyone at the club will mind if I claim all those titles and medals?

     

     

    That is the same analogy as has happened with Rangers and Sevco except they expect evryone to accept they are the same!

    Is Wood good?

     

    Seen him in the Olympics,he looks like a young Chris Killen……we need an experienced striker,not a cheap one who happens to be over 6 feet tall.

  11. Swedish giants Helsingborg IF have recalled Ghanaian starlet David Accam for their UEFA Champions League play-offs against Celtic, MTNFootball.com can confirm.

     

     

    The 21-year-old was initially released by the Allsvenskan champions to rejoin third-tier side Ostersunds FK after completing a four-year move this month.

     

     

    Helsingborg must overcome Scottish side Celtic in to advance to the Group stage of the competition.

     

     

    They will host the first leg at the Stadium Olympia on August 21 and the return leg one week later.

     

     

    Coach Age Hareide has asked the former Right to Dream Academy trainee to join the team for the game.

     

     

    “Helsingborg have called me to return to join the team for the Champions League game against Celtic,” he told MTNFootball.com.

     

     

    Accam scored his seventh goal of the season for Ostersunds FK in their 4-0 win over Akropolis on Saturday.

    And, if they knew the history they would know that their original club (ie a few folk getting together for a common purpose) incorporated to become a company. The club became a company – they are not two seperate things.

     

     

    Exactly. If the company was only a holding company for the club, why would anyone buy shares in that company. They’d have been as well buying shares in that company’s holding company, i.e. Murray’s company.

     

     

    It’s a smokescreen to distract from the truth that they don’t exist in the same form they once did.

     

     

    I would like to see the share issue documentation to see what shareholders were told they were getting a share in, was in a company that owned a football club or was it the football club itself. That should put all arguments aside.

    Spot on ….. I am really proud of how Celtic continued to spend within our means …… I am convinced, to this day, that Celtic knew where the bhuns would end up, and ‘bided their time’ under the banner ‘Our Day Will Come’ ….. And it has BIG TIME….. I doubt our Board thought, in the early days, that they would be liquidated, but you can bet Brian Quinn had a good inclination, as he would have been aware of the impending recession……

     

     

    What noone predicted was the contribution the Internet Bampots / Scottish Footballs Fans would make to their Liquidation ……

     

     

    ….and make no mistake about it, green is not with them for the long term…….he is, no was, hoping to make a few bob from an asset sale……this has not worked out for him, so he is now DESPARATELY trying to get investors in to make them saleable ….. But the Liquidator will scupper his plan …….. Watch this space….. The newco will be Liquidated within a few months.

    The games v Helsingborg are now classified as Champions League play off matches and fall inside the SKY/ITV/STV contract so I think both legs will be on TV in the UK. Polcullen @ 12:01, if ITV have the 1st leg, I’d expect SKY to have the 2nd leg so you should be able to see that in Spain.

     

     

    WGS – Roger Johnson, is that a suggestion from you, or one you have heard elsewhere ? Top player when he was at Cardiff, and Birmingham, I’d have him in the morning. A no nonsense centre half. Ironically he had a great partnership with the much maligned Glen Loovens when he was down here.

  15. cardiffbhoy@1208

     

     

    you are correct that the return leg is on sky sports 2 however was just wondering if anyone knew any bars that would def be showing it.

  16. Maybe Fat Sally and Green could d othe same on the steps of Hampden…

     

     

    Verona’s Emanuele Pesoli, who has been banned for three years as part of the Italian match-fixing scandal, has chained himself to the gates of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) headquarters in Rome.

     

     

    Pesoli (pcitured top, in black and white) was just one of many charged and punished for their involvement in a scandal which also accounted for Juventus coach Antonio Conte, suspended for 10 months for his role.

     

     

    Pesoli, like Conte, was at Siena when they were accused of fixing matches during the 2010-2011 season.

     

     

    He was handed his ban for three years on Friday (August 10) and, at the age of 31, it could end Pesoli’s career.

     

     

    “I am hurt by the sentence and I would like to confront those who accuse me,” Pesoli told the Italian newspaper, Gazzetta dello Sport.

     

     

    “It is a strong protest but they are ruining my life for something I have not done.

     

     

    “I will stay here until I can not do it anymore.”

    Morning all from a slighty grey but muggy morning in Milton Keynes!!

     

     

    Just moved myself and family down south and require information where are the best places in and around MK to watch the Celts as the majority of places favour showing English football!

     

     

    Jasebhoy, sorry for delay and not had time to read back so apologies if you have already been answered. Luton CSC is your best bet, my mate isn’t too sure on any other pubs in MK which are Tim friendly… Hope this helps
