After an ominous start, Celtic coped well with PSG’s superstars before they retired at halftime. The midfield, in particular, looked effective. Mohamed Elyounoussi, Callum McGregor and Olivier Ntcham were always comfortable. The latter must be wondering, what more for a regular starting place? I would not know how to answer that question.
The first half goals were irritating as inattentiveness contributed to them, taking the shine off what I thought was a really good demonstration of why we should play three at the back. I know the club are busy with recruitment targets, but the shape of the team Neil Lennon wants to play will feed into details, like how many central defenders we need. At least two, I suggest. Nir Bitton does well, especially in possession, but his instincts are not those of a central defender.
It was great to see Tom Rogic back and looking the part. We missed his presence in midfield for much of 2019, to the extent that my expectations of him have lowered. It will be interesting to see how his fitness builds from this point onwards.
Hamilton Accies a week on Sunday will be a different challenge, alas.

Row KK ? Yir not a Trump supporter perchance ? :O)
Just seen your request, TIMBHOY2. I think VOGUEPUNTER told you better than I could. I just followed what Celtic told me by email.
If Ntcham wants more regular starts he has to be more consistent. That starts with bringing the same application and attitude to all matches regardless of circumstances. Simple as that.
Back to Kriss Ajer
Man City paid £50million for Stones, and he is a donkey. ManUre paid £80 million for Big Harry, what more can I say, ‘cept Kriss can get us big bucks, and we should take it

Hi Bhoys
Thanks again for ALL the birthday wishes. AN TEARMANN classy touch.
KEEP THE FAITH
I see Andrew Gutman’s Cincinnati qualified form their MLS group last night after beating NY Red Bulls.
Bring him home!

StMirren played accies last Saturday
How does that effect out match v Accies ?
Smitten right enough………
You have to wonder how the EPL and Championship managed to keep their players free of COVID over the last 3 to 4 weeks and avoid large scale quarantines but we can’t get through pre-season
Testing on the cheap?
BIG JIMMY
Hope the unpleasant treatment you were to receive today went as well as possible and you are recovering with the thought of many beers to come.
My 42 wedding Anniversary a couple of weeks back and my 14 year older than me big brother says I’m sure I’ve got photos you may not have seen from the day. Out he comes with a box the size of a milk crate stuffed with pictures and left it with me to peruse , I’ve been laughing and crying in equal measures as quite a few in the pictures no longer with us . Various pictures of my nephews and their offspring in different versions of the hoops and some when they were in the flute bands , but right at the bottom of the box 1 knitting needle , I bet my late sister in law searched for that.HH
Blantyretim
Presumably if even one of the Hamilton staff tests positive , our game would be in doubt? Pray it doesn’t happen.
SETTING FREE THE BEARS FOR RES. 12 & OSCAR KNOX on 23RD JULY 2020 10:37 PM

Would it not be more to do with the lifestyles of the players (which given the discrepancy in wages must be huge) than with the testing regimes?

You ask a pertinent question.Talk sport said it was coaching staff and were inferring a distance with them and first team.reality is tho we know that is a large strata of,if not all of their coaching staff..
It shows how precarious this season is going to be.
Ps gave. D a call earlier then fell asleep.he’s busy in that garden.

Blantyre Tim obviously soz S hh
ernie
Lots of possibilities but I have heard some wierd stories about players’ private lives down south in the press. They are not celibate tee totallers
Would it not be an idea to publish the guidelines and testing procedures.
What happens if a game is postponed ,
How is the testing procedure incorporated into the disciplinary process.-
It begs a few questions

I saw the comet tonight.
on my way home, low in the west sKY,
I see the sun in the sky this morning, as rare as the fecking comet
Good morning, friends and a Big Happy Friday from an at least it’s dry East Kilbride. Was bright and sunny when I awake but here I am, 15 minutes later logging on to CQN and it’s grey and cloud covered. 9 more sleeps ;-)
When I posted just then I noticed it appeared as the first post on page 8. before I sign off and start my work I clicked refresh and my post looked as if it has disappeared. Tried again and see I’m back on page 7, suggesting that somebody’s earlier post (or posts) have been deleted. I think we should be told, mods?
Off to work…
