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.

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS – I remember seeing a skip with the proprietary legend “WIMPEY WASTE MANAGEMENT” on it.
Underneath was scrawled “SO DO BALFOUR BEATTY”
:)

How can the Buddies afford to run the midden? Are they mad? I wouldn’t be too happy if I was a fan.
Just a very brief visit, but somethings MUST be shared.
Thanks to ALLCELTS for this one
We do rolling away!
Back to monastic life!

Estadio – Ally called to say thank you for not making fun of his genitalia. (thumbsup)
The new-found friendship between Norwich City and Scottish giants Celtic will have the chance to expand further tomorrow night, as the two clubs play out a pre-season friendly.
The second match in the Canaries pre-
season schedule sees them travel to
Celtic Park to continue building their
fitness for the upcoming Premier
League season.
Over 18,000 people saw City beat the
Glasgow side at Carrow Road in May,
as full-back Adam Drury was given a
testimonial celebration following 11
years with Norwich.
It turned out to be 33-year-old Drury’s
final match before a switch to
Championship side Leeds United, as
well as manager Paul Lambert’s final
match in charge before leaving for Aston
Villa.
Former players such as Darren
Huckerby, Dani Pacheco and Henri
Lansbury returned for an entertaining
match that City won 2-0.
was the jovial spirit of around 3,000
Hoops’ supporters that will last long in
the memories of Norwich fans however,
bringing a great atmosphere to Norwich
that saw green and white shirts fill the
city from early morning through until
after the match in the evening.
Supporters are already talking about
the match on the message board at
http://www.pinkun.com
Celtic fan Glasgow’s Green & White
registered to welcome Canaries fans to
Glasgow, saying: “To all fans coming up
over the next few days, I hope you
enjoy Glasgow and your visit to
Paradise.
“Pub-wise the centre of town is
worthwhile during the day and mid-
afternoon or pre-match you can walk to
the Gallowgate area of the city, this is
the Celtic part of town.
“You will get a warm welcome in all
these boozers and it’s about a 10-
minute straight walk to the ground from
there.
“Celtic offer a good tour of the stadium
as well which explains our history etc. I
hope you all enjoy our city the way we
did yours!”
Norwich fan And Smith Must Score
replied: “Thanks for the pre-match
welcome Glasgow. I’m looking forward
to visiting Paradise. I’m told there could
be around 1,200 of us there on the
night, not quite the huge turnout you
managed at our place but pretty
impressive by us for such a long-
distance friendly.
“Don’t be too surprised if you hear a
few Canary fans with Scottish accents.
There were quite a few the last time we
played at Carlisle so expect the same
this time.”
While fellow City supporter South of the
Border said: “I will be driving up. We
should be leaving 25 degrees of
sunshire down here in East Anglia, hope
we don’t have to endure some of your
usual ‘Scottish summer weather’!
Like you we haven’t had the best start
to our pre-season so hoping that
improves, would probably settle for an
agreeable draw?”
We just can’t seem to get the defence right. We appear to be heading back to the eighties in that we have a good team with a sound keeper but the defence may hold us back.
The team had a good look to it in Rennes and Udinese but that was well into the campaign going on the previous two seasons we seem to be slow starters.
Its seems to be all systems go for the Brechin cup tie with the match confirmed as Sunday despite their opponents lacking a SFA registration. Strange situation – who is in the better position now Sevco or SFA?
Maybe the match wont go ahead as planned on Sunday.
Cowiebhoy,
If you’re lurking, what time will the Bus leave from the Newmarket(as was) tomorrow?

Has this changed recently, due to the huns getting kicked out? has the £50 opt out option now been dropped?
I purchased 2 x £50 tickets already this year and these were opt out hun games. I assume the £129 price was opt in hun games which will now be replaced by the Dundee games. Seems a lot extra to go and watch Dundee, but not Celtic’s fault

The poster there says a ten minute stright walk from city-centre to CP? You’d barely do it by bus in ten :-)

Yep, no £50 tickets any more. Still, somebody has to pay for the funeral…

Think he meant the Gallowgate to the ground pal.
Ten mins from The Gallowgate to CP is a fair sprint
Particularly after enjoying the hospitality on offer

Think we will need to find a place in this ragers saga for the naked rambler, he is just about as mental as some of the bomber brown brigade
talking of him, has he fell down a hole, not heard from him lately,
could the FPLG be the new naked rambler?
10 mins if you were a hun getting chased.
I’d allow 20-30 mins.
Not including refreshment stops.

nope , naked as a jaybird(or jailbird)
More like 25minutes from Parkhead to Gallowgate.
At times it’s taken twice as long going in the opposite direction.
For the bhoys looking for the date for the Helsinki game, remember it’s not officially them yet, the date probably won’t be set until after the second legs of round 2, they can’t issue tickets until then. The Motherwell tie is not an either or, therefore date is already set.
HELP!! I T expert needed!

I thought seeded teams in Qualifying rounds were at home for the second leg..?
I was sitting in the pub last night, minding my own business, when in comes this girl with a rankers top and scarf. She proceeded to give me the glad eye for about half an hour, then brings me over a pint and chats me up. …. Then she says “Fancy taking me home..?” ……… I said “Sorry hen, yur no in ma league ” ………!!
Shimmie ……tell your wife a bhun has impregnated her PC ……….and that the only way to get rid of it is to bless herself 3 times, in quick succession…..
Why is that field in front of Ibrox so untidy and overgrown? And, as for that eyesore behind it, Jeez…horrible!
Shimmies use FireFox or chrome instead of internet explorer.
Real Radio phone in show has been canned.
