Absolutely delighted for St Johnstone, who recorded one of the finest aggregate results by a Scottish club in European football in the last 30 years. My brother was speaking to a Saints player this week, who told him the successful strategy and drive came from chairman, Steve Brown, a fact which Hibernian would do well to ponder today.
Malmo’s 0-7 victory at Easter Road yesterday was chastening ahead of our game against fellow Swedes, Elfsborg on Wednesday. Celtic are in a remarkably strong position now, having produced excellent on and off-field results for the first time in the modern era, but those seven goals last night (not to mention the multitudes we shipped preseason) are a cautionary tale. It’s also worth remembering that Rangers decline into liquidation was precipitated by Champions League elimination at the hands of Swedish opposition two years ago (“Larsson has scored”). Wednesday presents a huge challenge.
As soon as I heard the stadium announcement on Tuesday I knew there was trouble in store from Uefa. The second pyro punishment will lead to a heavier fine. Celtic’s statement yesterday advised of matters of concern to Glasgow City Council Safety Advisory Group, who issue stadium safety licence, regarding a whole range of issues (overcrowding, lateral movement, moshing, body surfing). What to say about 131 broken seats? Ouch.
The club and Green Brigade (whose members occupy only a part of section 111) have met and we carry on as normal for now. Question is, can either control everyone in the section? I hope so but it’s a big ask. All it takes is one off-message person keen to ‘stick it to the man’, and there’s a long season ahead. Place your bets, folks.
Our thoughts are with Paul Lennon and the Thai Tims after the news that one of the boys who sang on the Celtic videos died in a road accident while another is critically ill.

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
23:18 on 26 July, 2013
Oh,ffs,I gie up.
Kayal cost us a crucial goal in Barcelona,and Izzy keeps falling asleep when a diagonal ball comes in from their left.
Keep taking the happy pills,bud-yer gonna need them.
Try and save me some,I might need them anaw.
With the team we have left,we are in danger of doing a Hibs-taking the huns record for being pish from them
==========================================
It’s been a night for lunacy on here, don’t get infected.
Two players down and the rest are pish?
I’ll give you a happy pill to ease the worry – Victor Wanyama did not play in the final crucial win over Spartak to take us to the last 16.
He was suspended.
If perhaps some of the worriers on here would rationalise the facts they’d sleep easier. It’s a squad game. And our squad is good enough to qualify.
Night.
CALTONTONGUES
Borussia Monchengladbach were a cracking team back in the early seventies.
You would be too young,so ask HAMILTON TIM!
I remember Netzer destroying England,and I remember BM hammering Inter 7-1.
UEFA overturned it on a technicality!
I will be first to admit i am a drunk and talk shite,.who’s next ?
SANDMAN
I do not believe so.
Time will tell.
We should not be in a guessing game,we should be worried only about an unexpected outcome,an off-night.
I’m hoping the opposition have them,and that is not good!

“You think my point mentioning other forms of abusing children (in this case by killing them before they are born) is clumsy.”
Abortion is not child abuse.
thecarfintim…snap.
Why did the bold Mr Daly exclude Walter and Souness from his EBT investigation?
Will he be as slipshod with his latest “project” ?
Fred C. Dobbs 01:18 on 27 July, 2013
“Why did the bold Mr Daly exclude Walter and Souness from his EBT investigation?”
He didn’t exclude them. He attatched payments to both of them.
THE CARFIN TIM
Serendipitous timing,sir!
You may prefer to refer to yourself as drunk rather than a drunk.
Or mibbe not….

Good luck to Gary Hooper, we were good for him & he was good for us, never nice to see a quality player leave though.

Correct,though I recall PAUL67 being quite vehement that the Legned in particular did not have one.
Lawyers,eh?
“Aye,we know you know we’re lying,but shut it if ye canny prove it”
Can’t blame Paul for that,as we all knew the proof.

How’s Irvine?
Fancy The Maharani in Troon late September?
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS,
As I said earlier, I couldn’t understand that they thought they were coming into a pub of European Cup Winners so, they didn’t want to disrespect, twas weird but, fair play to them.
BTW, they were even more shocked at how cheap the drink was…
Steinreignedsupreme ,
Will have a look tomorrow, but cannae mind Walter being mentioned.
Mind you am kinda blinkered :O)…
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS 01:31 on 27 July, 2013
Re Myth:
Rangerstaxcase proved otherwise – a payment of around £60k I seem to recall.
Fred C. Dobbs 01:35 on 27 July, 2013
See above…
Steinreignedsupreme,
Was it Mr Daly though?
STEINREIGNEDSUPREME
And I recall the Mark Daly programme saying similar-strange that only smith saw fit to put the lawyers on the case.
Maybe he didnae,so he can sue me.
Cot-time for me,folks.
Dayooooot beckons,gotta be on my toes to get a train timetable.
Have fun….

neganon –
As it happens, I was on CQN about a week after the Wanyama transfer expressing my disappointment that a replacement hadn’t been lined up, on the basis that it was known well in advance that he was leaving.

Think you are missing the obvious.
Ambrose will replace Wanyama. The plan has been in place for a year.

Myth definitely named in the Daly show – I remember people trying to work out if he received the money while he was at Everton or Scotland.
Didn’t know he stuck the lawyers on the case – not that that means anything. Look at his antics around the Tribute Act.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS ,
Irvine :O(………….
September :O)…
Will be in touch.
Tribute Act?
Makes it sound as if it’s official government policy,ffs.
Oh,wait….

Pardon the curry house pun….

Did that include your fee as guide for the night?
Cheap drink is rarely a problem in Glasgow. It’s the company that ramps it up. And the man-wi-ten-arms impressions we are all prone to.
I hope you meet them all again later today.
See ya in a coupla months,bud.
Take care.
GF. We agree to disagree. While I 100% agree with you that there are extra bonuses on profit. PL lawell is gambling that his profit bonus comes about with the present squad and no future investment, This is no risk him as he is not gambling his zero debt bonus
If I was him I would do exactly the same thing. It’s his job and his income
If I won 1000 dollars on horses. Would I risk the 1000 dollars to double my money. I wouldn’t. Some people would. Peter lawell wouldn’t
That’s why he won’t risk his already earned bonus for coming season to increase his bonus. He is not a gambler
So the money stays where it is and we try for champions league with no investment in playing squad
If we reach CL Peter get more bonus
But the fans have to wait and worry
My view is bonus paid on success 1st and zero debt after

Is there any one on here that matches your pseudo intellectual standards?
Just askin like from the puerile piss takers ad infinitum?
Shop windowing EPL fodder
Nice turnover
last 16 in Europe if yer lucky
Wait and see what the huns are daein?
Stringer. You are having fun of course. Ambrose will give the ball to the opposition
Sandman
Keep the faith sir!
Don’t underestimate our team !
Hooper and wanyana both missed crucial games for us in Europe !
I’m more concerned that Ledley won’t make it !
Elfsborg for all their talk certainly didn’t want to get us !
We will focus and deliver !
Sammi will torture that side
Feeling positive tonight Margaret ?
Probably one of the biggest seasons we’ve had on and off field ever! Considering the economic challenging conditions
Yet sections of our fans are not happy.
WHY?
We are not prepared to offer players £30k per week!
For that I am relieved .
We are one of the most financially secure clubs in the world going into 2014! MANY clubs will fail then .
WE WON’T
There is a TROON in Cornwall.
Totally hun free.

I think you are correct there. Kojo has been saying that Victor won’t be missed, I disagree with him about that in Champion League terms, he is totally right about us not missing Victor domestically, with a packed defence sometimes it comes down to a deep lying player to just take a chance and Go For It, Efe is a beezer in that respect.
I’m looking at Efe having a wonderful season, hopefully anyway, as you can never predict these things with any sort of certainty. Neil really likes Efe, I do as well and I feel he is a very classy footballer, if he performs as well as I think he will this season, I just hope he is one of those people/players, who really gets Celtic and commits the best years of his life to Celtic.
I usually go to the boozers on a Friday evening but I didn’t. I got a Kerry-oot because I didn’t have enuff money for the rounds at the pub. But its all behind me now. I hope Neil plays almost the same eleven as he will on Wednesday. I think that would be a good idea. Ledleys been gone for ages . Are you deffo sure he should be playing, even if fit? Is there any chance Ledley could get a run out tomorrow?
Last. Before the New Podium. YES !
