13 days until Celtic are in preseason action on their tour of Austria against locals, SK Vorwarts Steyr. We then face Bohemians or Prague, who the Celtic site tell us have Antonin Panenka as chairman, famous for the Panenka Chip to win the 1976 European Championships for Czechoslovakia against West Germany.
Panenka is less celebrated around these parts for being part of the infamous Rapid Vienna team Celtic faced in 1984. No photos with Moussa, please. We have two further games, against Sparta Prague, and Shamrock Rovers in Dublin, before our first Champions League qualification game.
Fair play to Newco for getting some money for the naming rights to what was previously called Murray Park. Named after the Rangers owner who authorised the EBT schemes which ultimately led to the club’s liquidation, it must have been embarrassing to have Sir David Murray’s name associated with Newco’s training ground.
As a rule, I am up for things which bring money into a club. Whether Hummel attach their mission statement, ‘We look for those who rarely win’ to the facility remains unclear.

BGFC, enjoy your trip to Deutschland, especially stop off in Köln, if you can, visit the Dom (cathedral). And Garmisch is fabulous, in fact the drive down to Bayern is outstanding. Well done to Miss BGFC. HH
Canamalar?
Any Edouard news?
JJ
The Huddle
Hope you are correct with Brazil & Jesus some other eijit picked that duo yesterday :-)
France and Ascencio (sp)
Jeez these 2 teams are poor
Gene,
do you think when the irish citizen army fought against the british that they were worried about what would come when they vanquished the enemy?
One step at a time works for me
and if you think we are living in a free democracy you are at the best naive. westminster time and again have brought out media big guns to sow seeds of doubt to whatever displeases them. Rebels? dont make me laugh

Brazil / Messi
Well done to Miss BGFC and Hoopy birthday to Miss N/Braw !
That was an incredible clip of Infantino in between Putin and the Saudi Royal.
Evening Bhoys.
Delighted that French Eddie seems to be signing.
Some forward line if Big Moussa stays.
Any rumours about a Right Back ?
Would love a big signing to replace ML who has been a great servant.
Was that the stadium Big Sammi scores the winner in the UCL a few years back ?
Panenka did more than a chip
Looks to me like Derek Johnstone did much more than ‘a’ chip…….
Evening all!
Watching a truly dreadful game here and some golf on IPad at same time.
Just want to thank all with whom I spent a great time in Belfast.
Apologies for missing tour for which I was upset but we couldn’t get a taxi as already stated
KTF COYBIG.
These 2 make England look good
That’ll be me who plumped for Brazil & Jesus. With a saver on Germany and Werner.
I also thought the Saudi’s would beat Russia?
Russia Putin on a show ????

I still recall that Panenka chip….took a lot of balls at such a crucial stage against a great keeper like Sepp Maier too.
*The great Sepp Maeir, him and Beckenbauer had a wee tiff in the penalty box at a corner in the semis of the ECWC with deidco leading 1-0 at the time, this may have been attributed to a speculative jardine cross come shot from 20 yards landing in the net earlier on, big Franz then walked out of the box leaving space for right half parlane tae thump a cross intae the net, he almost did a big Yogi and put it over the bar fae the goal line.
Eff Sepp Maeir after that.
Here is an article which shows what happens in Canada when famous people (in this case, Donovan Bailey and a canadian olympic skiier) use questionable tax plans to avoid paying tax ….

Winners: France
Golden Boot: Griezmann
Far and away the finest overall squad, time for the Gallus Gallics to get their act together again and seal the deal.
Plus the French dwarf owes me for costing me a 3 grand win at the Euros in 2016 for my Portugal/Ronaldo double….
——————-
My brother had Portugal/Griezmann :o) was a sweet return
================================
Ooft. Must have been – Portugal/CR7 was 33/1.
Glad to see Saudi are mince – slapped a tenner free bet on wee Griezmann to outscore Saudi/Korea/Iran and Panama combined. @ 50/1.
One non-scoring minnow down for a zero, eleven matches to go… :))
World Cup – – – Easy
Scotland / Griffiths
KINGLubO
Jobo, apologies.
Final score from Moscow:
Россия – пять, Саудовская Аравия – ноль
:¬/
cant see us paying 9ml for eddie.
br said a while back that the fee being talked about was far of the mark.
The ‘computer programmer’ putting the fix into fixtures for tomorrow…..Sevco will get St Mirren, Livvy and Hamilton first 3 games….
“I’m told that women aren’t allowed to watch football in Saudi Arabia -on the evidence of that game -Saudi Arabian men aren’t allowed to play it.”

Really heartbreaking scenes from the Grenfell commemoration.
People died because their safety was deemed not important enough to justify the spending on fire safety.
This actual oppression and exploitation affects all of us and is much more important and wide-reaching than the constitutional farce that is Brexit.
Sandman. 6.34
:-) :-) :-)
Jobo.
The score was the same the day we made it 7 in a row.
Hail Hail
As to today’s article, it is hard to see where the Zombies fit in with values that espouse Tibet, Cristiana and St. Pauli.
Maybe they are championing their resistance to oppressive tax regimes???
Hummell’s mission statement
STV carrying sneak fixture preview of Huns first three matches, all home – St.Trinians Reserves, Jossie’s Giants, and Bedknobs & Broomsticks Select
Sandman – very good! :-)

Here is an article which shows what happens in Canada when famous people (in this case, Donovan Bailey and a canadian olympic skiier) use questionable tax plans to avoid paying tax ….
*as Justin said, we’re nice, polite but not pushovers. The CRA came after me one year for not declaring withdrawing money earlier in the tax year to help a hard up acquaintance, just told me to repay what I owed,
Couple of years later it happened again, tough being a Franciscan lol, this time as well as repayment I had to pay a hefty fine and was audited for 7 years.
Could have been worse, i could have live south of the border and ended up in handcuffs.
Sandman
That’s garbage and you know it!
The league will never give the Zombies such a tough start!

Wouldn’t the headline £9m figure traditionally include Edouard’s wages for the duration of his contract and all add-ons including year on year returns to the group stages of the CL?
Tontine
Was chatting with Togabo yesterday about getting the TO CQN’ers together to meet up for a dinner/ TFC game. so far, it is just Tobago and I (and a maybe from Tim Horton) … but, If we can find a day that works for you, would you be up for joining us?
PS … I could tell you some stories about dealing with the govt…. they’re not so tough … you just need the right lawyer!
:)
Re Eddie- guessing about £5m up front, the rest add ons…
MMPD – I too take home small items from my trips here :)
CCB – Always good to have your company P
Germany and Messi for me.
