Roy Keane is due at a press conference in Dublin this afternoon and he is sure to be asked about Daily Mail reports this afternoon that he is set to be appointed Celtic manager as early as tomorrow.
It’s pretty clear Celtic have spoken to Keane but NO ONE HAS THE JOB YET, the Club are still speaking to a number of candidates.
We’re going to remain hostages to news reports for a while. The sooner things are sorted the better.
If you missed it earlier………
Lisbon Lion John Hughes is joining Brogan Rogan, Auldheid and Angela Haggerty for a CQN Question and Answer evening at the Manor Club, Wimbledon, on 21 June. The event is ticket only, so let me know if you would like to attend, celticquicknews@gmail.com

I’ve never tasted Rocky Mountain oysters personally as I’m a tad squeamish.
The following description of their origin doesn’t make me want to eat them.
But as Kojo would probably say, if he were on the board
HOWEVVA
Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.
What are Rocky Mountain oysters? They are that part of the bull that is removed in his youth so that he may thereby be more tractable, grow meatier, and behave less masculine. When the calves are branded, the testicles are cut off and thrown in a bucket of water. They are then peeled, washed, rolled in flour and pepper, and fried in a pan. They are considered to be quite a delicacy. Like other organ meats, testicles may be cooked in a variety of ways – deep-fried whole, cut into broad, thin slices, or marinated. At roundups in the old West, cowboys and ranch hands tossed the meat on a hot iron stove. When the calf fries exploded, they were done?
Eating animal genitalia dates back to ancient Roman times, when it was believed that eating a healthy animal’s organ might correct some ailment in the corresponding human organ of the male person eating it. Because of this belief, the practice continues to the present day, especially in Asia, where animal genitalia are considered an aphrodisiac.
The rugged folks of the Rocky Mountain region are not squeamish. Testicle festivals are held every spring and fall in Montana. These festivals can be very rowdy and may not be the best place to bring your children. If you can’t get to a festival, many restaurants and bars in Montana, Idaho, and Kansas serve Rocky Mountain oysters all year long and with less fanfare.

He’d had an earlier injury and also a couple of late tackles, so I expect they were being cautious.
I’d have been happy to see him substituted at half time.
FT 2-0 Turkey
The French and Swiss teams won’t lose any sleep over their clash with Honduras.

Brown envelopes are an integral part of football administration. In my trade, we call them “manilla envelopes”. Must dash, got a Nigerian bottle of Jedi-Jedi to swallae while I celebrate last night’s winnings.

FFM is busy just now but am sure he will get that link shortly :)
Pedro,
Can’t find the one I saw last year, but this is similar.
“MYweather.com” :)) Whit a f@d he is. Good of him to come out of hiding to promote some weather prediction instrument. Bizarre.

If you were eating just your own testicles it would be called “testicles in a toasted sandwich” but as you have said “testicles in a toasted testicle sandwich” then we must surely infer that there is someone else’s testicles in the mix, besides your own.
Do the question is, whose testicles?
GG,
Cheers. France & Turkey obv certs there. Trying to recall if I ever saw Switzerland play football in my 40 years of life, but seeing as I have a close relative from the place, I’m going to trust my memory on this one. The Faroes have a more successful football team…..?!…
Ah, no wait, Scotland played them once now I remember, and probably won 1-0 or drew 0-0 with them. I’ll go with the 0-0 :)
GCT @ 03:12,
Ah. Well that would obviously be the Testicles of Tom McLaughlin. Very kind of you to offer them forward – we can get some sponsorship for charity. I’ll let you choose seeing as you are the one donating your testicles <:O
I'd be up for it. I had a curry last week in a new place;I was told it was the dog's bollocks. Excellent! So I'm no feart if you're no :) [ as long as they're cooked and seasoned properly].
Bollocks !!!
GCT,
:))
That’s what I shouted in joy when my curry was put on the table last weekend.
Not going to drag this out, but I asked the waiter if that was the biggest bollocks he had. Got one of those familiar “look-away in disinterest from the steamer” reactions. I’m also aware that I’m starting to sound like a pervy middle-aged wifey now as well.
I will See you when you All, eventually get there……

FFM –
Reminds me of the story about the Glasgow man on holiday in Benidorm. Took his wife into the country to see a REAL bullfight and won the raffle, which was a meal in the restaurant and the prize dish was the slain Bull’s bollocks.
Jimmy and his missus absolutely loved the dish.
A year later they returned and would you believe it, he won the raffle again.
Back in the restaurant, they received the cooked testicles, but this time they were much smaller and not very appetising. Not wishing to cause a scene, Jummy and his wife devoured the dish but were left disappinted and still hungry.
“Excuse me Perdro,” Jimmy asked a passing waiter. “When I was here a year ago, the prize bollocks were massive, succulant and delicious. Tonight they were small, shrivelled and very disappointing. What happened?”
“Ah,” said the waiter. “Sometimes the matador he does not win.”
GCT
That was worth reading.

‘Trying to recall if I ever saw Switzerland play football in my 40 years of life,’
I’m not having that,bud. You must be joking,surely.
I suppose it’s possible that you’ve never seen Switzerland play football,but 40?
Pffffft!
GCT
Thats a cracker! Thanks for a funny start to my day. :)))
BMCUW
Haha, nice one! :))
Anyone tried a pizzle ; )

You’re up early.

My first thoughts
I wouldn’t be disappointed.
He is a strict manager and a dedicated trainer.
Out boys would be fit enough to defend against Barca Real or Bayern for a full 90 minutes.
He would make players out of the likes of Herron and Henderson, to name just a couple.
And hopefully he would play them regularly.
Brown would be encouraged to raise his game even further.
Efe and VVD would become harder and uncompromising.
Watt would shape up or ship out.
He would love the enthusiasm and work rate of Griffiths.
On the downside he has had a poor relationship with AS.
I think we have a strong core of a team which is certainly too good for the SPFL.
Taking our fitness levels to the next stage may be just what we need for CL.
Much opinion on CQN and elsewhere about the Celtic managers relationship with, and ability to handle, the press. Big Jock is regularly mentioned as having the ability to keep them in their place, and I’m sure he did. I was a little young to notice that side of the management game, indeed I don’t think I really paid any attention to it until later in life.
From the time that I did become wise to the MSM agenda, it became pretty obvious to me that they didn’t have a hidden agenda. An agenda yes, but it hasn’t been hidden. It’s blatantly obvious. When the pie eater is placed in front of the camera, it’s generally akin to Margaret Thatcher being interviewed by Norman Tebbit . How I wished someone like George Galloway had been given an hour long televised interview with the likes of MCCoist, or Smith. It always had me on edge when the Celtic manager had a microphone stuck under his nose, knowing the questions were likely to be leading, or if you like, misleading.
I have to say my anxiety subsided when wee Gordon was in situ at CP. He very quickly, cottoned on to the agenda and was able, in my opinion, to reverse the rules and put the reporter on edge. I do think Lenny took a little longer to master the art, but still feel by the time he left, he was doing a pretty good job in the media spotlight.
How would Roy handle it? Well I’m sure Martin would have given him a few pointers. Added to Roy’s no nonsense approach, I don’t think we’d need to fear much.
Rather than embrace the idea of a personality being drafted into the Scottish game, I’m sure the Scottish MSM will be dreading it. They’ll have to up their game, and they know it. Honesty and truth are traits that they find it hard to deal with.

Off to Cheltenham for the weekend, to stay wi family, and meeting Mr Winklepicker tomorrow. Five hour drive soon. :)
DD
I hope you have booked a week off work to recover:-). ( only kidding Bobby)
TnT
Back to work Monday, unfortunately :(
Talking aboot recovery….well, in a roundabout kinda way, ailments rather than recovery, never mind the Seville money, where’s the NHS money?
I developed a hernia in March. Went to the docs. ” oh aye, definitely a hernia ” and he proceeds to dictate a letter into his wee machine thingy and fire it off to the hospital recommending I be admitted for an op to repair it”.
April comes and goes, and almost at the end of May so I phoned yesterday to see if the letter had been sent. Heard nothing. Told to call a number they gave me. ” trackit” or something, who tell me how far up, or down if you like, the waiting list I am.
They tell me ” oh your doctor should have been in touch to tell you we wrote back to say you don’t qualify”
“Eh”?
” yes, unfortunately you don’t qualify for an operation”
” why”
” new guidelines, based on the seriousness of the complaint”
” but I’m in a bit of pain and have been for a couple of months now”
” sorry, speak to your doc and he’ll prescribe painkillers”
A bit peeved to be honest.
So, I’ll need to go private and have it dealt with. I suppose I’m fortunate I can go private, but I guess there are many millions who cannot. Does not have a major impact on your lifestyle, but is nevertheless a bit painful and causes discomfort.
Hey ho.
DD.
Have a good one bud. HH
Sipsini
Thanks bud. Always do down there. :)
See you in Kirkcaldy July 5.
Hard to Concentrate
I am such a Lucky, very,Lucky Man.
An Urban Native, I am very proud to be.
GCT @ 03:39,
You’ve told that one before here :))
BMCUW @ 04:02,
Nah, it’s true – I aged a decade after one night in Swindon ! Not so much the town itself as running to catch trains into the place :)
If GCT is putting his testicles in the testicle toaster for charity to be TOASTED I will donate

TnT
Go back to your GP and demand the op! Ridiculous state of affairs.
Delaneys Dunky,
We will hopefully have another Pool Genius at the Pool day.
I do hope that people realise me and DD were averaging Breaks of 1 at Snooker….
Petec
Good morning my friend.
How is The Rock fae The Rock?
DD
To be honest Bud, I’m not sure he has the say. He recommended the op, but someone else seems to call the shots. No big deal I guess, as I say, I’ll deal with it in other ways, just a bit irritating that I’ve been hanging on a couple of months and made no progress.
Supposed to be running in a 5k this weekend, but the hernia seems worse when I exercise at full pace, so I think I’ll forget the racing for now.
TnT
Wise decision. Take care bud.
