I know I’m not the only one with a pavlovian dislike of hearing Celtic players mentioned in international match reports in June. Preseason training is only four weeks away, quickly followed by the Champions League qualifying round, so these weeks should be for rest and recuperation. The one exception to the rule, this summer, is Emilio Izaguirre, who is set to play two World Cup qualifiers for Honduras over the next two weeks.
Emilio missed most of last season through injury and then sat out much of the remaining part of the campaign due to the impressive form of Charlie Mulgrew. He is the one player in the squad who benefit from competitive football to restore his edge, and confidence.

HAIL HAIL
Ghod bless BBJ

Cheers for the heads up on the Springsteen gig.
Thomson’s lawyer confirms he was sacked with immediate effect
Looks like a summary dismissal, which whatever way you look at it, isn’t good.
I just hope he and the club can sort things out pronto. Whatever’s gone on we owe him that much at least.
RRC,
You on it?
Metallica on at moment.
Listening to BBJ on Talksport – highly recommend anyone who is missing it to tune in , or listen to the podcast replay

Doc –
Never knew of anyone trying to bang Drum through village, if so more than a Drum would have been banged.
The Village is 50/50 with little of your ex work colleague.
Yes they did try to pass through in the late 80’s – more than women in Deck chairs stopped this, and it was a mixed crowd
BBJ or The Boss live..hmmmm,
sorry BBJ.

I know who they are and they’d place me too i’d say.

I don’t even remember the lads name, he was about 17 at the time.
Worked at the slaughter house in the Cornton. I remember telling him he was a lucky boy not to get his drum broken.
I remember the march getting stopped, nice story about the village women even if it’s just a myth.
Bannockburns the place to be though;-)
According to Ssn page, Thomson informed he was sacked in telephone conversation with Neil Lennon.

Thanks for the reply.
I grew up in Crieff and was always in awe
of the Muthill bhoys.
I’m sure you will always be welcome.
Neil Lennon calls the shots.
Doc,
If you are the ex main man of that establishment (Cornton), I know you very very well, and you will know me likewise, sit with a good friend of both at paradise, hope you are keeping well.
Hail Hail
Not surprised to hear about Thompson’s departure to be honest, thought this was coming for about 3 months.
I do wish him all the best though.
If it’s true, then I’m sorry to hear that hun-skelper Thommo will be leaving the club. The only positive I can take out of the situation is that Neil now has the chance to appoint the auld haun that some of us were crying out for early last season.
Neil will need all the help he can get while trying to qualify for the CL group stages.
All the best to Thommo.
TTTT
16 roads ; my thoughts also. NL does not strike me as the type of guy to do someone else’s dirty work for them.
I can only assume that if the story is true, Neil agrees with, or instigated, the move.
Ggh

Did you go up on the Bannockburn bus?

I got told a story recently where two fellas one named Myles the other whose surname was Furlong were working together back in the day,they were returning home i their old car/van and were stopped by perthshires finest and asked for their names. You can imagine officer Dibbles face when he was told “he’s Myles fae Crieff and i’m a Furlong fae Perth” :)

Surely if Neil wanted an auld haun aboot CP he would have had one by now. Neil brought in Johan and Alan and Gary. It was PL who wanted the auld haun and Neil who resisted it. Hard to see him wanting one now.
Seems to me it is a good training ground coach we need to replace Thommo’s role.
Stevie Frail stepping up???
Our tactical naivety was exposed too often
and i was not quite sure of Thommo’s role
at times.
Gall
Superb.
Paul67,
I just listened to your discussion yesterday on BBC Scotland. Very impressive.
I am sure people around Scotland (supporters of other clubs) would want to hear more of your thoughts on football.
The podcast stopped a bit abruptly though, 23 minutes was the airtime?

I know mate,but this is the last thing that the club needed all the same,the only redeeming factor is that this has happened early on in the pre-season.
We always have this habit of shooting ourselves in the foot.
It just goes to show though – Lenny is driven,single-minded perhaps,maybe even ruthless…focused i would call it.
Doesn’t matter who you are,if you act the eejit – yer gone.
Professionalism.
The club cannot afford to be compromised,by anything,or anybody,in these most vital of times.
Qualification to CL Group Stages – that is the priority.
Is MUTHILL the first wee village you come into after leaving crieff on the road to braco….i passed through it last night …theres a celtic pub there and am i right in saying they use sweenys coach to travel to the games
Doc
Yes and still a frequent traveller on it.
Found my 1978 Junior membership card the other week, with your Dads signature on it.
Remember you and your brother well.
logging off now

Hey tel me one plan we ever had????
We don’t..
We are CELTIC…..
Hearts will take legal advice as they face getting just £64,000 of the £800,000 still owed to them by Ragers transfer of Lee Wallace.
* CVA giggles *
What did Thommo do exactly?
Lets not bear false witness till we know.

Goodnight mate, daughter and I go up in the car, never know though,season tickets for next year, think about going up on the bus.

I agree, I don’t think the auld hand will be brought in now.
Neil is obviously a very confident Manager, he has decided how he is going to do things.
I can see him bringing on board Chris Sutton or Henryk as both don’t look to be cutout for Manager. Or he could go totally leftfield as I’m sure he has been learning more than ever now that he is a Manager.

Drinking with Allan McGregor?
Only messin’.
I hope that he(Thommo) has be offered another post in football and just decided to move on,it doesn’t look like that is the case though,unfortunately.
