It’s great news that Celtic have secured three first choice players, Charlie Mulgrew, Adam Matthews and James Forrest, on new long term contracts. It allows the players to forget about long-term career issues and concentrate on team matters and the manager and scouts can worry about squad recruitment efforts in other areas.
This news is a direct consequence of Champions League group stage qualification. Not only do Celtic have funds to increase wage budget, more importantly, aspirational football players, who want to reach the very top of the game, have a reason to be here.
The same is true of Fraser Forster’s England call up. Scottish football has long been regarded along the lines of lower division football in England, but with Champions League football, the English national team have endorsed our football. It will be easier to attract the next wave of recruits as a result. One day Kris Commons [stand out Player of the Year candidate]can only hope his own national team will regard his productive displays in the same manner.

Aye, and Fat Sally’s outside the room balanced on the balcony railing thinking exactly the same…
Is it possible that not-so-super-Ally is in cahoots with Bomber Brown still and is throwing games to ensure that the share issue and potential sponsoship deals bite the dust? For public order reasons he can’t take such risks at home, but with just a few thousand in 3rd division towns he can take a chance?
Or is he just the worst manager ever?
BRTH
the wheels certainly have come off hopefully they stay off

Loving the banter …..seriously ….taking account of playing budgets etc ….the Hun result today was a disgrace … 3 points from 12 in div 3 …..nothing short of outrageously embarrassing

I don’t think what happened in Russia can be under estimated.
The age of this team is unique.
As The Exiled Tim agrees, it is with many many thanks to the Hun establishment and the bent referees in Scotland that we are going to be a lot stronger and a lot quicker than is usual for football players/teams of this age/experience.
The experience garnered over the last 2 seasons has been priceless, absolutely PRICELESS.
For HUNMAN….(hunmedia)…..
A song especially for you.

ARMAGEDDON if Rangers die.
Scottish Football will slowly rise up again now the poison that was hurting it is dealt with.

A Stirling Albion fan and a friend of mine told me recently that the fans own and run the club and finances are so tight that some of there players who are part time only are paid less than many junior players in the Central belt.Now that being the case when you take into account what McCulloch,Black and Alexander are being paid it really puts todays result into perspective. H.H.
My Dear Kojo…..
You Are A TRUE Gentleman….
An’ So Magnanimous….
But Ye Knew That Already…?
Ain’t That The Truth…..Virginia!
The best thing is:
Apparently Chuck is paying Sally in kind in return for ownership (and shares)…
…and Sally can increase the value of his income with every passing result….
Give him the 25 year contract Chuck, you know you want to!
From Moscow to Stirling, what a week!
Roll on tomorrow.

BRTH,
Either you are a very perceptive individual or you have inside information.
My teenage evenings were indeed spent in Simeone’s cafe, listening to the juke box & watching Wee Joe trying to divert his buxom lady wife for long enough for him to nip across the street to the Admiralty Bar for a quick ‘half & a half pint’.
Lovely times.
Thanks to EVERYONE who has been kind enough to give me their good wishes.

Your stuff is really top drawer, Paul McStay Class commentary if ever there was a comparison from on the field to, on the blog. The Maestro was talented with the incredible mind that he had finely tuned to play this wonderful game of football.
I find the mythological commentary especially important.
Keep educating Brother as there is Nothing new under the Sun.
Ole chuck is stuck..between a rock and and a hard place..he cannot afford to sack super Sally ..but he is now watching his share value and flotation plans being flushed very quickly down the lavvy plan with super salls recent results…oh..the irony !!! Hh
BRTH ..fabulous piece of writing hh
Kilbowie Kelt
have a great day tomorrow….we will skelp the minis :-) hope the family enjoy their day with you
Brth.
Educational as ever,you deserve a liedown.
P.s. do you think broadfoot would be an appropriate for the monster of frankenstein.hh
Dougie Donnelly will be raging with that result, it’s alright helping out ‘Sterling’ but not when they beat the Teddy Bears!
KK,
Congrats for tomorrow. A mighty milestone.

Happy Birthday I see you have been enjoying yourself today:)
This is payback time for that slimeball mcoist to see him & his zombies being humiliated gives me great satisfaction,remember when you whispered in Neil’s ear and got away with it and Neil got pillioried,guess who had the last laugh you sleekit multi chinned non entity of a manager
Truly wonderful times to be a Celtic supporter.
This year we have watched our club triumph and win the war.
Recently we have watched the dawn of this young Celtic team. Hope and think we will get better in europe as experience grows. Anything else this season is a massive bonus. But then we can dream too !
The zombie’s travails hahaha what a wonderful side-splitting sideshow.
Oh how I would love to whisper today’s result in Sally’s ear…just to see his reaction!
