Remember Henri Camara? Martin O’Neill paid a significant loan fee to sign him 10 years ago, in the considerable wake of Henrik Larsson. Henri flopped and soon lost his place in the team but the weight of responsibility thrust upon his frame was considerable. No one could come close to filling the gap left in the Celtic team.
Nadir Ciftci would do well to consider whose shoes he’s stepping into at Celtic. Last summer’s striker signings, John Guidetti and Stefan Scepovic could hardly muster a start the second half of the season. Leigh Griffiths, who arrived 18 months ago, got the striker’s gig most weeks, but Leigh came to Celtic with as illustrious a heritage as Nadir.
Never step into a great man’s shoes, but Nadir’s not doing that. This is the perfect time for a striker to join Celtic, I hope he has the appetite.
I see the great and the good in the media are flogging lyrical at the prospect of a prodigy arriving from Madrid. None of this has come from Celtic. The player may become available at some point but I reckon it remains a hard task convincing Real his immediate future should lie in Glasgow.

Well done to Andy Murray in getting to the semi-finals again. The last three winners are in the last four, so I guess they got the seeding just about right, apart from Gasquet that is. Federer can still beat anybody over three sets but he can’t beat everybody over four or five. Amazing to think that ten years after Andy first played at Wimbledon that Roger is still there. Seems to me Andy Murray has had to play a variety of players this time round, and has figured out a way to beat every one of them. They’re no strangers of course, even in London, but I think Andy will figure out a way to get to the final. Hope so anyway,
Jim … good little story about your daughter’s name… and dont worry, your secret is safe…. what’s said on CQN, stays on CQN!

There’s a few midgies on here, don’t mean you acgr;)
The budget was more of the same. If you gross more than £50,000 pa, you will be okay. If you gross around £30,000 , have 2 kids and truly try to get on , you will probably be worse off. That is pretty much what has happened over the last ten years in my opinion.
Jobo, enjoy your holiday.
I hope your wife and you have a great time.
Hopefully by the time you return, we will be in the next champions league qualifying round and nice sunny conditions will be a regular feature in your morning weather reports.

Those who advocated better together are probably too embarrassed to comment on the budget.
Others like myself have always known that Tories are simply Tories who look after their own.
Having said that, I am stunned to hear a Tory advocating a high wage economy.
I have a feeling that somewhere down the line that will be translated into less tax leaving you more of the wages to spend as you please.
jobo baldie
enjoy..

Tories are bastards!
MWD said AYE
Don’t slander bastards.
The cuts in the budget are aimed at the young ie Hb. Then there is the changes to Working Tax Credit, which largely was overlooked and overshadowed by the Headline about £9.00 living wage……in bloody 2020!!!
The change to WTC will wipe out eligibility for many of the lowest paid.
The freeze on benefits is shameful, the rhetoric used to camouflage it was disgraceful. Basically we can’t afford it….
Last night you may have seen the admission that power suppliers have been ripping us all off? They quantified it at £60 per household…. Hold your breath waiting on a rebate.
Midges, they should bombra lotta thum

The sight of that creep IDS fist pumping during the budget speech was breathtaking. Like he did not know what was coming? So whose arse was he kissing , surely not Gideons?
quonno…
The high wage economy is for high earners from what I’ve garnered from the budget.
They have took off in one hand and cut the other one off.
It’s time to lock the doors up, people in need will find it somewhere.

Power suppliers have not been ripping us off.
The have simply being maximising their entrepreneurial skills.
Andy Murray’s achievements are comparable to Celtic’s in the 67 – 74 era.
Since 2008 Andy’s been beaten in 2 Quarter Finals and 3 semi’s. He’s reached the final twice, winning once.
He’s probably more likely to reach a Wimbledon final before we reach another European final ;-)

I was brought up in a family where Tories were despised.
Today is a perfect example of why.
The implementation of Universal Credit and schemes like these bastardized “apprenticeships” will lead to a drop in wages and expectations in our kids.
This can only damage out economy and the crucial housing market.
Westminster government are selfish and myopic. The last outfit thought it appropriate to raise retirement age….only to flounder as our youth’s job prospects withered.
Such is their acumen.

He was not kissing anyone’s arse.
He was celebrating the realisation of an ideological dream.

Watching the budget speech turned my stomach, so many Tory arses with a smile as broad as the channel.
They really have got us at the end of both barrels.
God help the people in need.

Sorry. They know exactly what they are doing.
They don’t give two monkeys about our kid’s futures.
I don’t care if I am accused of reheating cauld kail.
Ten months ago the Scottish people had the chance to be rid of the bastards for once and for all and crawed it.
No great desire for independence but we are goosed with our partners down south. Was desperate to avoid a further term for them. forlorn when they won a majority.
People down south seem to lap up Conservative (labour too) attacks on the poor.
Return to Thatcher’s era.
Before I am off to bed.
As this is a Celtic Forum, perhaps we should keep in mind that on the Board of Celtic, we have at least two and probably three individuals who approved of every word Gideon uttered.

You are one ghuy who was a pleasure to meet. And you know I mean that. Still got the programme. Hopefully we can arrange another meet, unfortunately, not the coarner. Too many enemies been made this past week. You can get my moby from our Swindon CSC if you require it. We blether regularly, he really is human. Lol. Take care bud.

Aha, the re introduction of poverty!
Now if you don’t have a job your not in the pub all day or owning a cell phone, Sky TV etc.
Surely not?
How can we cut the massive social welfare programme?
Its just not possible.
Bend over Scotland.
Payback time for even attempting to be in charge of your own back yard.
Will labour commit to their blues brother budget ?
Of course they will !!
Don’t want to upset middle england.
Scotland and England have never been so divided politically ..
Roll on indy ref 2

Like myself, my family was brought up to despise the politcs of the tories, only my brother has jumped the fence.
His choice, a buisness man:(
My kids will make their own minds up.
Both are snp supporters, I’m still a Labour man and hope Labour can get their act together before it’s too late.
The budget today is an overwhelming example of what people warned the no vote vote would bring.
If you voted no you have no right to moan about this.
You voted to allow this to continue.
Tory?
Labour?
Tweedle dee or tweedle dum.
Coke or Pepsi
Plum or maroon.
Same mob
Different colour of tie.
Let’s not ho back over the referendum and make snide comments about folk who voted “no”.
People voted for what they believed was right as you did, so show respect.
Bloody hard watching this lot go to town

Was Labour all my working life. SNP now. Labour have lost the plot trying to be too Center to right wing. Hell mend them. Hoping beyond hope, that real socialists will emerge in the near future to lead Labour to an election victory. I’m nearly 69 yrs old, not holding my breath. Ok you mob, I will.

It isn’t even funny anymore, the Societal Engineers are flipping the populace like a pancake.
Only Wan Truth. Jesus Christ.
His musings were kinda Perfecto without a need for a Reeeeemix, Islam, straight off the Bat, Called Christians nutters, why they got involved is beyond my comprehension.
Who really knows anything. There is something inside so strong, in My opinion, that Everyone knows that Christ, is who he says he is, hard to stick to those rules… Lol that ain’t the gig, ISIS are being coopted by the PAGAN Corporate……
Dec 2012, the start of the new Golden Age of Paganism for the initiated, and that, BASICALLY, means the New Agers and so many other Secretive Haters of God’s creation.
Wow.
