Delighted for Martin O’Neill on taking Ireland into the last 16 of the Euros. Since his salad days ended at Celtic, Martin’s had more downs than ups as a manager. I felt the game had moved on from him, even during his five years at Celtic, the game tactically moved away from him, but he’s one of a number of managers of small nations who have overachieved.
I’m not buying Roy Keane’s tears, though. Reaching the last 16 of the Euros is a great achievement, but he disparaged Mick McCarthy’s achievement with Ireland in going out of the 2002 World Cup in the last 16 to Spain on penalties. Maybe it’s time for some humility from Roy.
If anything, Michael O’Neill’s achievements with the north has been even greater. Michael was mentioned as a possible Celtic manager before Brendan’s appointment, but the point was made to me, whatever he achieved in qualifying, he could be embarrassed in all three Euros games. Now he needs to beat Wales for a place in the quarter finals.
The group stages have been a delight. Some big tactical lessons for underdogs, and for teams who face 10 men behind the ball every week. If you don’t make defensive mistakes you can win any game, possession and territorial advantage is a mirage of influence.

I am childlike.
Imaginative, playful, sensitive.
Which is hard to translate to normal life.
(A.D.D.)
The leaving the EU will hurt me, and I’ll find a way to deal with it.

Dude, I can’t tell you that the MONEY MEN, Won’t use this to Hard Crash the Economy, I’d much rather it happened this way than so many people Losing their Lives.
God, the Almighty, is Always in Control.
If this EU is obliterated, I will be thinking that there will be an Economic Union of 10 soon. I’m always a Worrier, that is why I respect KevJ so much.

Irony
Cameron calls the referendum to save his own skin, attempting to stem the haemorrhage of Tory votes to UKIP.
The Leave lobby look set to prevail, ensuring Tory attack dogs will tear Cameron limb from limb.
In agreeing to the referendum, he signs his own death warrant.
Party politics cascading down to constitutional flux
A career politicians decision…………….kills his political career.
The only good news tonight?

I have a totally different view from you.
I reckon DC got this Referendum in before the Flood gates are Open. He told you he was leaving.
I’d actually say he is the Most Treacherous PM ever.
I may be totally wrong and he turns out to be the Best ever. I don’t think so.
TC 45, glad to hear that. Your name is still on the CQN cask and I hope you’ll be around to square up you bill:_)
You’ll be welcome in Carmyllie anytime bud. Any time.

Tony Donly, the vote is in.
Stay in Canada, we don’t want you back.
Charming, oh! and it’s Donnelly.
I shouldn’t judge David Cameron as I have not lost a Child.
A dark night.
The Carmyllie circle of trust has been expanded to include TC45 and aburntoutcase. No idea who aburntoutcase is but he’s in. If I tell him I once pumped a bandy legged tranny in a caravan in Ecclefechan I’d expect him to say nothing to anyone, keep schtum, say hee haw.
It’s a small circle, but it’s a circle of trust.
TD67, I am a charming man.
Thank you.
ACGR – Not a word to anyone, I promise. But, FFS! Ecclefechan? Really?
No-one knows when the Lord Returns.
I’m hoping my Son gets the Freedoms I have had, in the Future.
Brendan – He is the Man. I’m sure he will give Maximum Respect to Ronny D, when it is the Right Time.
To Leave would have consequences.
To remain has consequences.
This is all a result of the Conservative Party being divided…. But it is raising many important questions.
Most unreported by the MSM.
Watch this
https://youtu.be/Y9RMWvYqkxk
Research the TTIP and have an inkling of what the future holds.
The EU needs reformed, no doubt.
PS
I wish I had St Martins Salad days. The man is The Boss.
Wish I or indeed any Celtic manager accomplished what he has.
Big Jock being the exception that he was and always will be…
Odd post from Pau67.l.

ACGR – serious question here. Do you think the four Requisitioners are being undermined from someone close.
……………………………
No. I Don’t.
But I do know that leaks to close family members who may or may not have backed the original submission is occurring and that’s what has really pissed me off.
To read a post from a known CQN poster, on a hun blog, bragging about knowledge that is supposed to be only within the remit of the four requisitioners is sickening.
Who else has been told?
ACGR…Good question
TC44
Buggered that up….should be TC45…doh!!
Bed time here, see y’all in the morning. Texas time.
TC45
TC45 – You seem to know ACGR. Have a quiet word,mate. Think of the children! ;>)
ACGR _ I won`t ever ask you for any names, but do you know that it was a genuine post? Has anyone asked the guy about it?
Scotland 68% remain 32% leave.
Time for leave leave.
PJBhoynyc,
It is Really good to be online with ya.
One thing is Certain, in an uncertain WORLD.
Celtic have the Element of Surprise.
I want us to win the Europa League. I hope we can Win the Big One.
The Lord is the Controller.

Why?

So what your saying is that the requesitionairs have a mole?
TD67 – Don`t be naughty, he suggested no such thing. It was me who asked about that possibility and you know that.
