Nerves jangle a week ahead of Europe

890

You and I have been through a few close seasons together, so  it’s no surprise we have this uncomfortable feeling as we look ahead to (hopefully) four hugely important Champions League qualifiers while contemplating how ring-rusty Celtic have looked preseason.  These games really don’t matter, of course, they are there to allow us to experiment and build fitness for the real challenges ahead, but you would rather we were turning teams over 4-0 than being on the receiving end.  Evidence, perhaps, that the experiments were leading somewhere.

Lots of coverage today of the fall-out from Friday’s meeting between the SFA and Sevco, some of it informed.  Huge issues clearly still remain before they will be granted permission to join the SFA but they would not be helped by their prospective manager, Ally McCoist, walking away this week.   Sevco have not sold many season tickets but if McCoist goes their chances of doing to will become increasingly scarce. Friday’s comment from McCoist sounded like a scene-setter for a resignation letter.

  1. Kit –

     

     

    I didn’t say I knew for sure. I said that was all I found around 2 weeks ago, so thought that could be it.

     

     

    You referred to foxy being scared of intercontinental ballistic concrete trucks. What was I supposed to think?

    Watch the game tonight.

     

     

    Norwich, in fact the league they play in is aggressive and strong. There are skilful players of course.

    You are quite correct with regards to the free agents keeping up their fitness angle, but their agents have been discussing possible terms with SevCo. It should be noted that at this present moment no football club is interested in either of the players. Only a company with a training ground and a possible place to play football

  4. I now have another CQNer on Twitter as we speak, telling me you abused him and accued him of being me.

     

     

    It’s like victims all over turning to me and confiding.

     

     

    How many others are there?

     

     

    It’s like a horror movie with new bodies turning up every day.

     

     

    Off to bed now. I’ll probably have nightmares too.

  5. So you thought the fecdkin worst and did your worst and brought the blog to this and now who knows what is going to be said.

     

     

    As the say in Australia – Good on ya – but I somehow think contrary to what they say in Australia – she won’t be right ever again.

     

     

    You know you are a liar and you broke a confidence to cover that up. Shame on you.

    Re leggless – Yes, he continues to amuse. I particularly liked this line from his latest offering:

     

     

    After all, Jim Traynor and the Record have led the way so often during this complex Rangers story that there is no reason to doubt the veracity of this morning’s tale.

    “I used to work next to his auntie. She was one of us.”

     

     

    Aye. I know the family. Most of them live in place where I grew up.

  8. McCoist has become the Obadiah Slope of Scottish football,or the Uriah Heep of….etc,etc.,.

     

    Me? I like to see him more as Aqualung.

     

    He does seem to get away with an awful lot of threatening and incitement….not to mention smirking,craven toadying. His protection appears divine and his self-righteous confabulation,epically fantastic.

     

    Alone,he IS the peepul personified. Ascendancy to god-like-status must surely await him. He expects it. And,according to his Hollywoodesque scriptwriters dreams,who are we,mere peasants,to deny him?
