There’s always a bit of reticence signing a player who has been away from his previous club for four months. Carlton Cole hasn’t played since starting West Ham’s final games of last season, and presumably has only trained in isolation since then.
Expectations of a quick return, should Celtic offer him a contract, have to be tempered with the realisation that he’ll be at least a month away from full fitness, but by then we will be set to face Molde away.
One aspect of our play that will concern Ronny Deila is that we’re short of attacking variation. The high ball forward to Samaras, so long our staple on the road in Europe, is not an option. This will be the reason why Carlton is training at Lennoxtown this week.
I’d expect a short-term deal to be concluded between now and January, to give both sides a chance to check out the fit.

Stop being so bloody sensible
Is Scotland more racist than Ireland?
Every country has these idiots. The targets are different though.
Labour’s sectarian card is finished.
lads – direct engagement with sleekit hun trolls to be avoided………..

Let it go- its no biggie.
There’s a lot worse being said elsewhere on CQN.
As WITS said- I don’t know what prompts some to constantly bring it up- it was poisonous enough last year.
Why were some of the young huns wearing Merlin magician hats???
Good night all,
nothing like the smell of thrashed huns in the morning,
DD
Look forward to seeing you tomorrow
Macjay @ 11.20pm,

Are you acquainted with ANY other football supporters?
Nah, forget it………you have no idea.

Why were some of the young huns wearing Merlin magician hats???
———————————————————–
Pointy hats? Probably handed out to the weans at a recent Klan meeting…
Was enjoying the blog during and after the Hun Skelping, but normal business looks like its going to be resumed. Time for this Tim to bid adieu.
Careful’
I’ve always thought the Heian’ coos were docile. The laugh is that Mrs Emeraldbee is qualified through the ole Milk Marketing Board (now, THERE’S a link to the past!) and is still sh*t scared of coos! Today we had to climb two barbed wire fences to get down towards Rhubodach, just to avoid an amorous bull! And it wisnae me!
Recorded the Sevco game tonight and watched when I got home from Embra. I’m embarrassed to say that I thought Steven McLean wasn’t trying as hard for Saints as he might have, even though he gave the beautiful back heel to set up Murray Davidson for the first goal. I was cutsing him for missing the sitter and for a few other things ehen Saints moves seemed to break down at him but Michael O’Halloran totally exonerated him when he said that McLean had run his heart out. I believe that McLean is the brother of referee McLean who is so impartial were Celtic are involved. However, if I’m wrong I’ll be the first yo hold my hand up.
What a dismantling that was. Sevco were clinically taken apart. It looked like a full time team against a part time team. Saints deserved everything they got out of this match. It was a clinical, tactical, well thought out, team performance. When will the deluded start to catch on to themselves? When will they start to critically analyse meeja reports of their performances and predictions of what they are capable of?
Before the game we had that muppet Craig Paterson extol how different this Rangers team were from the team that Motherwell humped 3-1 at Ibrox in the play offs ladt season. He was right, in a way, a lot of the personnel were different but the result was exactly the same. I was glad for every Premiership team that won through tonight. If Sevco had gone through and others had lost we would have been bludgeoned for the rest of the season by, “there’s not such a great difference between the Premiership and the Championship” quotes and how Sevco were going to present a formidable threat next year in the Premiership.
Har- de- har- har! Gubbed!
Just joined in and scrolled back
Oh dear ..
Forgot i was on a Celts site
The sheer enjoyment of watching highlights of Barca getting humped by Errrr Saint Johnstone or
Any Sumbdy FC
Then the collecting the betting spoils tomorrow
Magic!!

No problemo amigo.
You know me. Never in a hurry for anything or anybody. Forever late. A stoner symptom. ;)))

For all you butcher apron supporters I wager we will have independence before we win 10 air.
——
If you don’t support independence, you are a butchers apron supporter.
Really?
For the love of God, grow up.
EB .. Trust me .. That big bull would just lie there .. I drove buy it going to Dunoon last week .. It’s just lying there waiting to get chucked into a field full a sexy wuman bovine’s lol

Been too long pal, since we had a good blether. Tomorrow. :)
Ghordybhoy 64 – yes I missed that. I never called her a pig and never would. Its a smear and mysoginistic. but as I said to our estwhile sexist colleague last night calling Kezia Dugdale “the dug” is shocking too.
Isnt it?
Gordon64 meanwhile is an anti democractic facist. Lets ignore the democractic vote of scotland. Cos he didnt like the result.
Ah wont modern scotland be a great place with people like him and I heard he was dead in charge.
Macjay,
Just looking for the source, to do some further reading.
Hope your BBQ went well at the weekend.
If you provide the source/authority for the statement it would be much appreciated.
Clogher
I should have also added, congratulations to St. Johnstone players, manager, Tommy Wright and backroom staff for preserving the integrity of the Premiership for standing up and being counted tonight against an average but unbelievably hyped and overrated Sevco team. Well done lads and enjoy your well deserved victory.
Captain Beefheart – is the SNPs racist card just starting though?
Just caught up after finishing work and I’m pleased to see David Cameron has inspired St.Johnstone to whip oot the whalloper n stick it in the deid pig’s mooth.
It’ll no be schlong tae the fat burd’s warb….lin’
EB .. You probably know and seen sights of the north end of the Island I’ve never seen .. Cause I live in Rothesay .. Never done the North end of the walk.
Will one day, hopefully.
Well done for doing it .. Fair wee yomp!

I must have missed someone posting that. Can you point it out for me please?
Fare .. You know what ..
Feck it!!
:)
Macjay1 you said
“Racism is based on generalisation.
Labelling a country and it`s inhabitants racist and sectarian based on comments from individuals within that country or from that country is in itself inherently racist”
Your first point is clearly wrong. Racism is not based on generalisation – its based on hatred of a race – but you are correct in that the racists believes “they are all the same”.
Your second point is absolutely correct. Thats why I keep pointing to institutionalised racism which I believe is endemic in scotland. The institutions and their promotion of the racists is what feeds its continuation.
Team for tomorrow

I’m not sure that’s relevant to what we were discussing to be honest.
Is there a relevance?
HT .. Wasn’t directed at you I don’t think ..
Someone spounting someone’s probably not been to Tynecastle ..
Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t ..
Who cares ?
Those looking for an explanation of the Warbmeister Magic hat thing…..just seems to be another irrational illogical daft thing from the Huns.
if you want a laugh Google it….
Plenty pictures of the clowns, looking even dafter than normal….
