Tests for agricultural fields of Lanarkshire

750

Efe Ambrose is quite rightly receiving praise for an impressive debut on Tuesday but these are still early days, our comrades from Fife didn’t present a great challenge.  Berman Kayal also put in a sold shift and, for the record, I’ve been more impressed by him than the even more lauded Victor Wanyama, when both have been on top form, but I would not consider either for a start in Moscow.

With five days until we play Spartak it was more important we saw Joe Ledley, if only briefly.  Joe will need 90 minutes on Saturday.  Even if he gets this he might still be short of fitness for the Champions League.  The most important result from Saturday will hopefully be Georgios Samaras coming through 90 minutes without incident.

Along with Scott Brown, Georgios is one of only two players with Champions League experience prior to this season.  He was also absolutely critical in Celtic breezing through the qualifiers.  Fir Park is a tight, agricultural, field compared to the expansive artificial surface of the Luzhniki, but it will be a good proving ground for anyone hoping to impress Neil Lennon with their fitness.

  1. Just logged on and noticed a few scurrilous post on Jimmy Boyle. JB is a close friend of mine and an active Celtic supporter. Both Jimbo and I know where you post…….

    Got a hold of Sannabhoy, you’re definitely in his team…..unfortunately ;-)

  3. Anyone else comment on Ollie’s speech, I’ve tried to find a youtube link but nothings coming up yet.

     

     

    Seve is one of my all time great sporting heroes, as he was always trying to be as creative as possible and I’m not a big fan of golf, and I cannae believe I missed Ollie’s speech when I only pottered about for 3 or 4 minutes. :((

  4. Rumours abound that Ticketus going after Whyte… I have heard this also from bloke down the pub

  6. HT,

     

     

    One day you will learn to read this blog:-)

     

     

    Again, You were offering a lift from Hamilton to the game – Barrach?

     

     

    And, from what I read during my 3min lunch – Barrach was meeting Starry Plough then going to the quiz?

     

     

    Then SFTB was talking the same tonight, SO, one offered a lift back to the Gallowgate.

     

     

    Teachers????

     

     

    In the 3 mins for lunch I might have misunderstood :-))

    BMCUWP, saw your response to my post requesting a suitable venue in the fuente alamo area to watch the match next week. Did you contact your old fella? I may have one possibilty but want to avoid driving so I can have a few swallies.

     

     

    Cheers pal

    Hi,bud.

     

     

    I spoke to him on Wednesday,and was waiting for youi to come back on-hope you get this!

     

     

    Good news and bad.

     

     

    The bad is that unfortunately he is nowhere near that area,so has no idea.

     

     

    But the GOOD NEWS is….

     

     

    As we kick off three hours earlier than everyone else,all the bars in his locale which are showing games are specifically advertising the Celtic game as a means of getting the punters in a bit earlier.

     

     

    He expects it will be the same where you will be.

     

     

    In effect,he doesn’t think you will have a problem in seeing the game.

     

     

    Enjoy your break,mate!

    I found this fantastic video on Constance Cumbey’s website.

     

     

    If you have followed CC’s blog since I first brought it to CQN’s attention (I can’t even pinpoint that date as the Excellent murdochauldandhay asked me it when we were chatting at the weekend) and followed the readerships comments you would realise the very fact she has Always tried to Emphasise the core values of Christianity, thus nullifying all these trumpets trying to argue about nonsensical topics. Constance is a Protestant who has researched deep into the ideologies. Her findings are frightening if you are an atheist, so it is best you don’t look there if you are a real hardcore atheist.

     

     

    And this is a True Christian talking as she has fought off all the Divisive Christian attacks and stood strong for Catholics but stays strong in her interpretations of the Word of God.

     

     

    The intense attacks on her because she refused to be intimidated by real Protestant bigots was incredible to me.

     

     

    A wonderful video currently on her site that says it all for me.

  15. Apologies, I should have been a lot clearer.

     

     

    Murdochauldandhay asked me how long I had been on CQN and I couldn’t quite get an exact date, I was thinking 4 or 5 years.

  16. re someone saying they would never buy the scum paper i picked one up on the lenzie to queen st train and there was a free bet on a big race at cheltenham it was for a forecast bet.I hadn’t bet in years due to not being able to get 1 horse to win a race never mind picking 1st and 2nd well the free bet went on and one of the horses was owned by dermot desmond i collected £160 and i’ve never got the rag anytime since
