Despite reports to the contrary, Celtic have not received a bid for Kieran Tierney and are not impressed by media attempts to unsettle the squad. Kieran recently signed a six-year contract. Celtic expect the player to be an integral part of team building over the next several years. Having only just turned 21, they also expect his value to continue to appreciate.
Celtic do not have to sell and do not want to sell. We are a well managed club with money available to fulfill strategic plans. We have recruitment plans and budget in place for this summer; we are not planning to recruit a first choice left back or spend an unexpected windfall. This attention is unwelcome and a distraction from Champions League preparations.
I also hear Kieran’s agent is relaxed with the player at Celtic and not agitating for a move. I suspect Everton have let their trusted outlets know they are interested in the player, but it has not gone beyond that stage.

Tragedy on the beautiful Isle of Bute.
God rest her soul.
Evil on the Bonny Isle. Sad

Sent shivers down the spine when I saw the photo of 53 Ardbeg Road, where she was staying with her grandparents. We were brought up in number 54.
As to Polish cemetery- there’s a big one in Perth. My wife’s heart skipped a beat when she saw her own name on a gravestone. Very spooky.
HAPPY 70th ANNIVERSARY to
The NHS.
With grateful thanks.

Long gone – it’s been a housing scheme for years. I was born there too. Closest maternity is now Wishaw, where my own daughter was born in 2007.
Yes Happy Birthday to the NHS.
And a big thanks to the post war Labour government. That was a genuine Labour Party.
The NHS is the best thing to happen on these shores in the last seventy years yet some politicians , possibly with vested interests , want it dismantled. Shame on them.
If it was not for the NHS , our son and daughter would not be here. Due to previous complications when pregnant , my wife had to undergo a tricky surgical procedure , which twenty years ago was rarely carried out wth the consultant pushing hard for permission to do it ,, to give her a better chance of having succesful pregnancies.
The NHS also helped my dad live to 91 ( he passed away the day after we beat the unbeaten run record) plus the thousands of other parents helped so their families could spend longer with them.
Its time the NHS stopped being a political football and is given top priority to continue with he original reasons for it coming into being.
Just in case

Driving back from a holiday in Paris, many moons ago (in my twenties) *Many, many, many moons – Ed. We took a few days exploring the Normandy area, on our way back to Calais. We stopped in Étaples, and decided to visit the military cemetery there.
A humbling, chastening experience. Étaples is the largest Allied graveyard in Europe, however that war was an obscene crime against a generation of all Nationalities.
The sense of loss, as you gaze out over the white Headstones is palpable. I found two entries in the list of names at the entrance, in my own surname. One was an Anzac soldier aged 20, what must he have felt during the hell that was trench warfare, so very far from home. The other was from Patrick, aged just 19, a relative perhaps?
Current day politicians besmirch the memory of an entire generation, who paid the ultimate price for the folly of their generation’s political leaders.
We should all resist all armed conflict, with all of our will, always.
Sad… so profoundly sad.

*Partick… not Patrick… obvs.

Unfortunately the UK is one of the big war-mongers of the world so dont think we can expect an out-break of peace anytime soon. Our armed services are active against Yemen ,Syria, Afghanistan , and of course right at the forefront of trying to provoke a war with Russia !!!!
BAMBOO
Yes I attempted to convey that I see no sides in my argument. War is the enemy. Obviously failed.
?⚽️
What about the groundsman? Haven’t Celtic received a bid for the groundsman yet?
I mean, just about every other member of staff is apparently up for sale.
Give it a rest will you?
The DOS evidence has been prescinded from the enquiry
?⚽️
Anyhoo, off to the railway station to get the train to Nuremberg, so no wi-fi for a bit. Will check in later.

Hunderbirds, it was a lovely post.
Interesting stuff on the 70th anniversary of the NHS.
Currently we seem to be dealing with an establishment narrative that wants change.
Up against a counter narrative that just to exist is enough.
We were here in the early 80s and history proved that this was enough.
However today things are different and a better narrative needs to be found.
All this then brings up the huge issue with progressive politics.
What do you do for the difficult third and third albums?
Progressive politics:
1945 = First album
1964 = Second album
1974 = Economic survival
1997 = Repairing the 11 wasted years of Thatcherism and the 7 stupid years of Majorism.
Now we only seem to have is hair splitting nonsense of social liberalism — was a four letter acronym, now at 5 with 6 and 7 sure to follow — and identity politics / narrow nationalism that I thought we had lost after the 30’s.
Progress is not what is being put forward now.
The choice is either simple solutions for complex problems AR an easy target to blame.
Some blame Westminster, some blame Brussels.
Same thing in the end — never our own fault always someone else.
Childish in the extreme.

We have no armed forces left.
We have 130K prisoners of the BWoS renter / economic mirage that produces nothing but profit.
We now have a military industrial complex that is pro peace because it knows that what it produces is not fit for purpose — they couldn’t fight sleep.

Total tripe.
You need to up your game.
Ron,
It was, thanks! That was bugging me.
Cloudy and warm in Porto this morning, a bit like me. Boat trip and Port tasting today – as ‘suggested’ by the sons girlfriend. We shall obey – should be good.
Later

Mea culpa,
If you’re still on, did you get my email about the wee get together? Hugh was asking if you’re coming.
Parkheadcusalford: There are 2 Mea Culpa’s which both display as MEA CULPA on this site (not mea culpa on that one!!). I think you might be referring to the other one.
Jimmyquinnsbits…Don Tonho’s restaurant down by the Don Luis bridge is worth a visit. Best eaterie in Oporto.

Not entirely accurate. Britain produces excellent soldiers, sailors and airmen; some would argue the best in the world at their game. Most probably definitely the best of the allies.
When in multi-national teams the foreign soldiers all want to work with the British. This comes from someone who has been in the frontline in some of the wars you mention.
The issue with the British Armed Forces is that they are the best at what they do but their equipment isn’t as good as it should be. Armed Forces from other nations have the best of equipment but not the skilled personnel to use them.

You are living in the past.
Thatch and her mass unemployment strategy gifted the army an IQ bonus in the 80’s.
BA in Basra was a shambles.
RN getting people kidnapped by the IRG was shameful.
BA @ 2nd stint in Afghanistan was a pretty poor show.
The 6 month tour vibe did not work.
Worst of all they never learned at the pace of the US.
One of the reasons why the 2% military spend is now under pressure from the establishment is the fact that we spend all the money and have nothing to show for it.
Waiting to see what gets canned first — Trident replacement vs HS2?
