Our major events venue, Adidas backfire, KR nerves

628

Despite their mid-season status, KR Reykjavik should offer little genuine challenge to Celtic’s squad of Champions League experienced professionals.  Still, the nerves tingle a little seeing a new management team lead the squad out of Glasgow Airport this morning.

Hopefully we have six qualifying games ahead.  Where we sit right now, chances of qualification are high, but far from assured.  There is a lot of work ahead.

It will be fantastic to see Martin O’Neill back at Celtic Park to lead Ireland against Scotland in the nations’ Euro 2016 qualifier.  Seeing the traditional away side of the stadium covered in green, while Scotland fans occupy the bulk of the stadium, will provide an interesting photo opportunity.  Apart from the ‘doe a dear’ lot, it’s likely to be a wall-to wall Celtic fan event.  Good to see Roy Keane back too.  In the away dug-out.

Hosting Scotland-England a few days later will cement the stadium’s position as a major event venue after a year of unique opportunities.

One of Adidas’ World Cup sponsor properties was to name and present Player and Goalkeeper of the Tournament.  What could go wrong?  Dragging the Adidas-sponsored and clearly embarrassed Lionel Messi up the stairs to receive his award looked contrived.  Despite reaching the final and, at last, building a World Cup goals tally worthy of comment (5 across 3 tournaments), Leo wasn’t even Argentina’s best player.

These awards are subjective, so there are no right or wrong decisions, but this one brought Adidas derision.

Delighted for Germany. The demographics are moving against European football but the continental game has never been as strong.

Many thanks to everyone who bid on the auction or bought a raffle ticket for the signed canvasses last week.  The raffle raised £604 and was won by CQN legend, Kolnbhoy.  Funds from both canvasses are going to Glasgow the Caring City and The Cookie Jar Foundation.

    Scotland will host England in a friendly at Celtic Park on 18 November.

     

     

    Another great coup from the Celtic Board.

    OK, so more and more of what @davidicke has said for years seems to be proved with chilling regularity. Lizard royal family next, then???

    Definitely off to bed but you can bet your bottom $ that Icke is an adherent of the Theosophy school, many influential writers have been, hmmm.

     

     

    One thing Icke is not, he is not stupid.

     

     

    He just twists Genesis 6 a little bit….. teenie weenie/a>.

    David Icke is becoming more prophetic and less ridiculous by the day. These are the Times. Revelation of John.

    I heard David Icke say in an interview once that he intentionally says things that are totally bonkers (lizards) as it gives him some freedom to get out other stories. He reckons he would have been dead dog pie years ago if he didn’t.

    What a beautiful post. Yes my sister and I were very close to our mum, although Altzheimers took it’s toll on all concerned. A great point you make about loosing any relative at an early age, the devastation must be felt deeply, but my mum had a fantastic life and we are determined to ensure her funeral will be a celebration of the wonderful life she had, while remembering she has gone now forever but never to be forgotten. I hope this comes over in print the way I am trying to say it. Thank you so much Martin, well appreciated.

    Absolute SHITE.

     

     

    Icke is a Theosophist and a student of Alice Bailey, Blavatsky etc.

     

     

    A deep occultist, even using colours to promote the 7 rays etc.

     

     

    Always denying that Christ was resurrected.

     

     

    Nonsense, absolute nonsense, Icke believes in the Masonic /insert any SecretSociety, and their continuous attacks on this Simple fact by mudying the waters.

    Nice to see you back posting after the last couple of very sad days for you and the family and taking great comfort and support from the people on here. I wish I had a site like this when I lost my mum when she was only 53 never a day goes by I don’t think of her but the memories are a wonderful as I am sure yours will be to.

    Thanks for that lovely sentiment. That was the point I was trying to make. I don’t think I could have coped with losing my mum 30 or 40 years ago as we were always a very close family. Up until 5 years ago she was living a full life and enjoying every minute of it, which is what we will be celebrating. We lost our dad 21 years ago and we were devastated and still think of him every day. Although we are heartbroken at her loss, seeing her lying lifeless with no response except for breathing for the past few months is very hard to take. Again this is difficult to put in to printed words, emotions can not be put in print, but knowing she is at peace now has brought some comfort to us. She will never be out of our thoughts as is our dad. I hope all this makes sense.

    Yes and the fact that Icke broke the story is the way to keep the ‘normal’ people off the trail.

     

     

    I’ve been there and got the T-Shirt, I listened to Icke for years, got his emails, he is an Anti Christian person and that is the only aim of a Theosophist/ Mason or any other secret order person. Lump Christ in with any and every World Leader, take away that Divinity.

    You are correct, Icke’s stories entertain me, as do your’s. The difference being, Kojo is a Celtic man. I love Celtic men!

     

    Mon the Leather Belts! :)

  17. Kojo,

     

     

    I know that, but it annoys me, I’m sure the US has had a lot more Icke Types.

     

     

    Big game tonight, I hope the old guard get us through these rounds, seems like they are taking to the Ronny DEEEE, this is vital as they had a great relationship with Neil and I’m sure they would have been disappointed in him leaving. Next seasons team will be totally different IMO.

  18. No he was not Argentinas best player last night,Mascherano was,and in the semis,but who would you rather watch,him or Messi?.You have something against the best player on the planet Paul.No idea what it could be,but this one man war against Messi does you no favours.

     

    I have no idea what you are watching but its not the same as me.The kid is an absolute marvel.

    I remember he predicted the Isle of Arran would sink back in the late 90’s so credit where credit’s due as you now need goggles, flippers, aqualizardlung and a wet suit to climb Goat Fell.

    I have been off for a wee while. Condolences to all who have lost loved ones. I know that I appreciated support from on here.

    FIFA president Sepp Blatter said he didn’t expect Messi to receive the award.

     

     

    “What do you want — shall I tell the truth or be diplomatic?” Blatter said. “I am going to say the truth, I was surprised that he was chosen and [surprised] to see him come up to get the award.”
