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.

The “eijit” I was referring too was myself, I posted yesterday afternoon Brazil & Jesus for me :-)
Hadn’t realised you had also posted, that’s makes 3 of us :-)

James Forrest’s latest blog slaughters SKY’s blatant anti Celtic stance
Given the Scottish msm’s obvious familiarity with the impact of the “break even” aspect of the FFP regulations and how they impact upon PSG and French Eddy, I am looking forward to a similar expose on how the team from Govan are spending money they do not have in breach of the same rules.
Or are they ok because they are going to take in £25 million from the sale of Morelos?

It sounds like you and Lady S are having a great Irish adventure. With your surname, you are well at home. Great weekend in Belfast last. It zoomed in the 3 days though.

We will soon see when the fixture list comes out , if there is change at the SFA . Don’t hold your breath on that one . Don’t hold any faith in Maxwell being any different from the no users who are there at present , and who have jumped recently . After all who gave him the job .
John James seems to think that king is in charge over at the sfa, although I didn’t have access to his latest piece.
I don’t know if it was Auldheid who was alluding to the result of the compliance officer’s work being good news for us.if this is the case then jj must have it wrong

“After all who gave him the job ”
Me thinks you have hit the nail on the head there :-)

Stolen from Twitter, it’s absolutely spot on. Whether £5m or £9m i don’t really care.
——-
Pukki, Lassad, Kazim-Richards, Lassad, Miku, Brozek, Ciftci, Cole, Guidetti, Murphy, Rasmussen, Bangura all cost less than Edouard and flopped, probably £15M + wages between them
£7-9M on Édouard is good business, we know what we’re getting and he’s only going to get better

Belfast was great my friend though sad to miss the Sunday trip to 16 Roads patch!! The trip has been amazing, feels like being home!! S says hello

Ps. he forgot Amido Balde and Scepovic.
Seriously hope big Moussa stays for another year. Him, and his two mates Eddy and Oli and and big Tam Rogic will do some damage.

Pal in St Albans tells me that his highlight of that tosh from Moscow was a Drunk in the pub calling Saudi Arabia -“a ******* pub team “

Just off a FaceTime call to 12-year-old daughter in Yorkshire:
“So how did it go with Russia and Saudi Arabia?”
– Russia caned them 5-0.
“You might want to rephrase that, Dad.”

Only caught the second half thankfully. The SA defence was Sunday morning steamin fat blokes league standard. The 4th and 5th Russian goals were class. Naka used to ping them in like that for us and Japan. Genius Nakamura.

I know who has the best track record for analysis of the situation. John James has previous for predicting nonsense. Auldheid actually backs his predictions up with giving you what he based his opinion on.
We will see how this pans out but my money is on Auldheid analysis
I’ve just watched wee jay from last night’s One Show.
3 things…..
Wee jay is amazing.
Sammi is a Ghod, regardless of football
That’s the kind of positive and fair coverage that a normal club would receive from a normal media.

Neustadt Braw – surprised you haven’t been called out as an SNP apparatchik yet. It will come if you raise your head above the parapet for much longer.
I am with you.

Good grief, the hysteria…
Big French Eddy is FREE, paid for by Virgil Van Dyke.
FREE.
Thanks to our VVD sell-on cut. Over and above planned budgets.
And constantly rated by L’Equippe as one of Europe’s top ten young prospects.
Away and remind the Huns/Sky of that.
Still a transfer kitty left big enough to blow them away many times over.
Stevie Goon will be back down to Scouseland soon enough, the only trinkets he’s carrying will be the hubcaps his gang of (Joe) Fagan-esque (see what I did there Liverpool FC historians?) scallies manage to snaffle from the Albion car park on match days.
Let’s Go!

I’m with you too. Recent events have demonstrated that Rifkind was correct, Westminster has the Gatling gun. Boom!
I don’t talk politics on here any more though. More north Brits than I’d ever have anticipated.

Dallas/Park Rd 67.
Pollok beat Cumbernauld 3.1 in the final.
Pollok scored early, Cumbernauld equalised after 25 mins.
Christy Lennon went off injured b4 half time, which was a big blow to Cumbernauld.
Pollok scored in 67 mins and then scored a third right at the death.
Cumbernauld competed well, but Pollok deserved winners over the piece.
Hail Hail

‘I don’t talk politics on here any more though’ – a wise choice
Robert Huth rumour…
James Gang and Neilbhoy
We’ve had 2 days now of Neustadt-Braw trying to drum up interest in the SNP formation dancing team from yesterday. As he said himself, it prompted little interest and response.
His effort has been largely ignored by those of us who may feel a little differently about the matter, or feel that the offence of Brexit politics was not just limited to Scottish people. We did so because, the minute an alternative view is posted, the accusation of bringing politics onto the blog will be raised, and it will be raised by someone on the pro=Scottish Independence site, and ernie lynch will be blamed for commiting the offence
So, having ignored it for 2 days, and waited in vain for any accusations about politics being brought to the blog, your posts are now goading the “North Brits” to post in retaliation.
The rush to identify the Scottish Independence movement with the spirit of the Irish rebellion is misguided, misplaced and rejected by the majority of the pro-Independence movement (who shouted Jeanette Findlay down for her “tiochfaid ar la” post). It is an ahistorical badge of identification for the celtic support; it was not a pre-occupation of many of our forefathers. It is a Ploughman’s Lunch tradition.
So, with no excuse that there is no football to talk about (WC has started and Celtic signings are imminent) I would rather not get into this mud-slinging brawl on here.
Please, do not mistake my silence for seeing any merit in the way the argument is being framed.
Jamesgang .
Hell …. I dont even talk Celtic anymore on here … people get too upset …
that’s why I stick to dogs and music.

Without a dug to my name and musical inability I had to resort to politics!
Saw an Az Senator bewailing the increasing dearth of white folks in his state and nation. I tweeted your PM the heads up that I thought he and yous would get the blame!

Just of the phone,had a call from Zbyszek and I asked him who he thought would win the World Cup and he said Spain, and then I asked him who would score the most goals and he replied that Lebandowski (spelling) would be his choice. So that is the forecast from Poland.

get a dog, so you can be part of the cool clique on CQN.
he has the memory of a goldfish .. he will have forgotten he hates us already. Apparently, Luxembourg (the killers that they are) are the most recent bad guy!

Thank you for update on Zbyszek.
I enjoy his posts, which are usually informative and interesting.
The Legia TIFO post was magnificent and educational.
