Scottish football on solid ground

1313

Any away win by a Scottish club in the Netherlands is noteworthy but Aberdeen’s win last night is even more significant. It is a sign that a recovery is underway in one of Scottish football’s perennial underachievers. St Johnstone’s result is more of the same after last year’s achievements. Motherwell’s sorry exit is a lesson on being unprepared….

If Celtic can reach the Champions League group stage for the third successive season, there’s reason to believe our game is on solid ground after the years of excess and abandon.

    Im on a rant

     

    in my job i deal with liars and cheats, has been same since I started work 30 years ago.

     

     

    Cqn is a release a laugh and a joke, lets keep cqn real….

  2. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    TET

     

     

    I await the next set of accounts with interest

     

     

    IMO if we don’t gain CL entry we will sell and not buy ….in fact …we’ll sell anyway …we might just spend a few bob on a Pukki type

    I will put in the document your thoughts and point out to Paul that he may want to contact you to learn the “truth”. Not going to discuss with you any further.

  4. a light insanity on

    The singing detective. Having read back I am disgusted by the implications of your earlier comment about me. You are even lower than I thought. I think that you have gone beyond the pale with your pathetic attempts at humour.

  5. BT- amatrampoline sounds like a bird I knew fae Partick. :-)

     

     

    We had our Ups and downs…

     

     

    BCW- know any McLeans?

  6. Thanks for your thoughts people.

     

    Level of incoherence about to rise as I’m enjoying a second beer on my deck in the cool late afternoon.

     

    I know it’s not a lot for the gazebo residents but for a non drinker it’s double my normal quota.

  7. Awe Naw…. Add Neustadt Braw to that list of fine CQN’ers who have very very recently lost someone important..

     

     

    Some things are just that bit more important than bickering about the Board, the referendum, Pukki, Tony Watt etc etc….

    Wc

     

    ok, we both know the truth is always the best policy, Paul knows my thoughts as he phoned me when you went running to him last yesr..

    All this stuff about Ronny D and transfers

     

     

    If Ronny D’s mindset is one of ‘ thanks Peter, but I don’t want these guys scouted / short listed at request of previous manager, I want to see what we need, maximise my budget, get players who fit in on and off park & we go from there’ , then we have to see the manager’s perspective.

     

    Also, not wanting the guys short listed for NL isn’t a slur on Neil, just a reflection that different manager’s will want different types of players

    WC

     

    I have respect for Paul and cqn, none whatsoever for you.

  11. Blantyre Tim

     

     

    You are talking nonsense as usual. We did discuss your hostility and Paul gave an explanation that I was happy to accept. I won’t be responding to you in future. Not worth the hassle.

  12. Good evening all. Awe naw, thanks for the comment. Read back a wee bit and cannot believe some posters are requesting the blog to adapt(change). Why? I scroll past any comment I do not wish to read eg. Tsd or anyone who replies to him. That is probably the only one I scroll by. I even put up with neganon2, whom I regularly disagree with, but respect his opinion. For heavens sake, it’s a blog where everyone is entitled to their opinion. If anyone is offended by the blog, like the telly, switch off. Simples. Anyhoos, how are you all tonight? Seen a post earlier that VVD had requested a transfer. Cannot find anything about this on twitter or any other site. Can anyone confirm this or is it mischief making again?

    Don’t run away, just tell the truth…

    Aow

     

    just poured another, the truth is out there, we must seek it…8)

  16. PF Ayr4

     

     

    I think we both know we will sell.

     

     

    What puzzles me is why are we hoarding cash.

     

     

    I honestly can’t see it being for the intro of the deed team, we are miles ahead of them presently, and if they were to spend, which I can’t see happening, they have a numpty for a manager who would just waste it.

     

     

    We were told that we would spend what we took in, this has not happened, nothing like it has taken place.

     

    We should be asking why.

     

     

    The hoping to unearth a diamond is our route for the forseeable, throw in hoping to bring a kid or two through until we can vacate the spl, we are stuck where we are, hence recruiting a manager like RD.

    Anybody ?

     

    Any truth to rumours that Southampton have put in an offer for VVD ?

     

    ————-

     

    I believe they’ve bid huge, I mean huge, and Celtic are reluctantly going to accept but VVD doesn’t want to leave. Dilemma time.

  23. the_huddle

     

     

    They have just sold another player for £20m to southampool… give us that and you can have VVD

  24. a light insanity

     

     

    you can go for a nice walk around the Alster (the city Lake), or go to the Carolinen quarter which has everything in it and is a stones throw away from the “Dom” which opened today, The Dom is a big thrills park and right next to St, Paulis stadium. Enjoy yerselves….might start pishing down at times but it’s warm.

  25. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    VVD for sale …why ???

     

     

    We must be financially sound after last year ….

  26. Robcfc11

     

    ___

     

    I was joshing old fella, the more likely scenario is that Southampton have bid £2mill, Celtic said no, VVD said I’m off and Celtic are now trying to claw a bigger fee while Celtic fans scream at PL for selling off our crown jewels (shout out for queenie there)

    Thanx very much. That “news” I don’t like. Hope we will have him for Legia at least.
