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

Today’s Machiavellian theory.
Roy Keane isn’t a genuine contender.
He and Martin O’Neil are just helping out their old pal, The Great Desmondo, to exert pressure on the real candidate.

Just make sure you get a midge net and not a mosquito net. It’s a small but significant difference.
Skin so soft helps too.
And an anti histamine tablet.
Lol. “Inflammable” means something can’t burn.
Lol. “Flammable” means something can’t burn.

‘Today’s Machiavellian theory …’
A similar thought crossed my mind: while the press is traipsing around watching Roy K’s every move, the coast is clear for PL (or whoever) to interview anyone else they want …

? Roy Keane being used as a decoy to encourage Peter Houstoun to take promotion with a wage reduction ?
I can see this.
“Skin so soft helps too.
And an anti histamine tablet.”
Reminded me of the two guys desperately rowing to escape sinking. One notices the other kneeling down.
” What are you doing? ” he hollers.
” I am praying to God to save us,” replies the other.
” Pray if you want……but keep rowing.”

‘Today’s Machiavellian theory …’
I read ” The Prince” years ago. Just checked again. Definitely no mention of Roy Keane.

Folly Folly @ 09.10
The poor deluded fools who’ve been cosseted in the belief ‘we are the peepil’ haven’t wised up to the fact they’re being left behind and their representatives who blame catholic education are not helping them one iota.
Sad more than funny really.

Lol. “Flammable” means something can’t burn.
Like Sir David Murray’s a*se, for example?
Fae the Collins ED:
“Flammable and inflammable are interchangeable when used of the properties of materials. Flammable is, however, often preferred for warning labels as there is less likelihood of misunderstanding (inflammable being sometimes taken to mean not flammable). Inflammable is preferred in figurative contexts: Posting this on CQN could prove to be an inflammable situation.”

“BY TOM TUITE – PUBLISHED 29 MAY 2014 01:03 PM
REPUBLIC of Ireland and Celtic striker Anthony Stokes head-butted and injured a man during a row about a spilled drink in a Dublin nightclub, a court has heard.
The football star had been originally charged in March and made his second appearance at Dublin District Court today where Judge Conal Gibbons asked to hear an outline of the prosecution’s evidence.
Stokes, 25, who is from Dublin, is facing claims he committed an offence under under Section 3 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Persons Act. He is accused of assault causing harm to a man named Anthony Bradley, at Buck Whaley’s, on Leeson Street, on June 8 last year.
The DPP had directed “summary disposal” meaning the district court would be a suitable trial venue, however Judge Gibbons did not agree.
After he heard a summary of the allegations and read medical reports on the complainant’s injuries, he held today that the case was too serious to be dealt with at district court level which, on conviction, can impose a maximum sentence of 12 months for the alleged offence.
This means Stokes could now be facing trial before a judge and jury at the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, which has tougher sentencing powers.
Judge Gibbons said that as a result of his decision further directions from the DPP may be required.
The footballer was accompanied to the preliminary hearing by his father John Stokes who sat in the public gallery. Dressed in a dark suit, the Celtic player did not address the court and sat silently as an outline of the prosecution’s evidence was given.
The striker has not yet entered a plea to the charge and was remanded on continuing bail to appear again in July after the judge ruled that it would not be appropriate for the case to be heard in the district court.
At the outset of the proceedings today defence solicitor Michael Staines said the DPP has directed “summary disposal” and it was now up to the presiding judge to consider whether or not he would accept jurisdiction.
In evidence, Det Garda Des Rogers told Judge Gibbons it would be alleged that on June 8, 2013, at Buck Whaley’s nightclub, “another unknown individual spilled a drink on the injured party and it is alleged Mr Stokes intervened and head-butted the injured party”.
Two medical reports were then handed into court for the judge to inspect.
Refusing jurisdiction Judge Gibbons then said, “I have to say to you that based on these medical reports I do not think it is a minor offence.”
The details of the man’s injuries were not read out in court but the judge said that if they were such as described in the reports, “to my mind this is not a suitable case for the district court”.
“This is a court of summary jurisdiction, I’m going to refuse jurisdiction, I do not think it is an appropriate case,” Judge Gibbons added.
Stokes, who lives at Bellhaven Terrace, Glasgow, was remanded on continuing bail to appear again on July 17, “for DPP directions”.
Mr Staines asked for permission to be let apply to the court for his client to be excused from attending the proceedings on the next date in light of his occupation. Judge Gibbons allowed it but specified that seven days’ notice must be given.
The 25-year-old striker had originally met investigating gardai by appointment in Dublin on March 6 last when the charge was put to him after which he “made no reply to caution”.

In less than ten minutes, Bomber “yous ur the piez” Brown will return to Mordor to hand in a petition on behalf of the Descendants of the Drowner……a petition signed by many among our own number who are concerned at the plight of Orcdom:
“To:
Graham Wallace, [Sevco] Football Club
Sandy Easdale, [Sevco] Football Club
Give written legally binding assurances to fans that Ibrox stadium will not be sold or used as security for any loans
Sincerely,
[Your name]”
They’re right FFin’ behind him:
“always a favourite of mine full of GRIT and spitting blood…
WE ARE THE PEOPLE
RULE BRITTANIA”
——
“Bomber is absolutely No 1 when it comes to ex players taking the fight to the vipers.”
——
“Any[one] who tells lies about him again such as him slurring his words etc should be banned.”
——
“these blood suckers should be stoned.”
——
“time our fans started acting outside the queensberry rules.”
——
“I would love it, absolutely love it, If Bomber walked through the doors and booted that slimey Easdale right in his ***”
William Hill has removed the Next Celtic manager from their lists. Has Keane been appointed?

No Gilbert O`Sullivan?
Well, that`s ruined my day. Off to Kirriemuir to play golf.
Cheerio,

Mr Johnny Clash- neither Fr Maguire nor Fr O’Connor, although both are clearly very talented individuals, are deemed to be Irish enough for the job of Celtic manager.
Ditto Mr O’Sullivan.
The Celtic manager’s tracksuit does not shrink to fit inferior Irish men [and women].

Is it wise for the media to print any Celtic or Sevco address? First time I have ever seen this.
Must say, Stokes’ behaviour is unbecoming of a CFC player.
