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.

Is that a podium.
I would have banned John Terry for 6 months.
He is a racist, adulterous thug.
What is the point of fining multi-millionaire footballers sums like £220,000?
Really, what is the point?
Is that really a deterrent ?
It’s just not relevent and the finanancial fall out for him is approximately didley squat!
Now, if I get fined a hundred quid today I am effectively bankrupt.
The modern day system of fining people is rubbish.
TET
I’m with you on that one!
The captain of England?
They deserved him.

Correct mate..the Laptop Loyal have given the decent press in this country (and England) a bad name. I cant bring myself to read a newspaper these days and I know its unfair on journalists like Glen Gibbons, but even his paper has got gutter journos writing for it.
The likes of Jabba, Jackson and Keevins have put me off probably forever, by spewing out blatant propoganda and getting away with it. It isnt as bad as the Sun’s Hillsborough stories which were far more serious, but nonetheless, the Scottish MSM are an insult to our intelligence. For me the most despicable agenda they ever peddled was the demonisation of Neil Lennon, which no one carried the can for..
TET
Not according to a court of law he is not
But the FA are a higher power than that :)
If I had my way John Terry’s punishment would be 6 months working in a Scottish branch of Greggs.

————————-
Page 4 podium bud.
…by the way, are you?
Ten Men Won The League – It’s incredible how much time, money, and energy has been expended hounding John Terry over allegedly making a rude comment to one other player, when other footballers and even MP’s can send racist tweets to the world at large without facing similarly serious censure and criminal investigation.
Is it because he is white? (thumbsup)
Philbhoy
Aye, they do.
…………………..
10men
The reason he got off with sticking a bottle/glass into someones face, was the cctv footage wasn’t conclusive, aye right, and he could afford a top quality lawyer.
He is an adulterer.
If Ashley Cole hadn’t stuck up for him, he would have been found guilty IMO.
philvisreturns
…aye, but politicians don’t mean it, they’re just havin’ a bit of fun.
philvisreturns
Indeed
I think the term used is witch hunt
No doubt one of the battle cries of the Terry defenders will be that he was found not guilty in a court of law.
Just as Gerrard was when filmed repeatedly striking a guy in a bar with his mates behind him;
Just like Neil Lennon being assaulted in from of 20k eye witnesses, and a TV audience…oh, and the guy admitted assualt;
Just like a number of high profile miscarraiges of justice over the years;
Aye, the law of the land. Pure dead brulyint, so it is.

Am i lurking. Dont suppose i am if im replying to this.

” You expect that sort of thing ”
For truly jaw dropping stuff on Italian politicians – Google -Franco Fiorito / Renata Polverini . .
Yesterday , President Napolitano said this ——–
” unimaginable and shameful cases of embezzlement and corruption are multiplying ”
” Unimaginable and shameful” – Italian politicians -Wow !
This is the John Terry who in his younger days while with Leeds, chased an asian boy down an alley while calling him all the names under the sun and set about him.
Poor, wee, picked on John Terry…
Why is the League Cup draw taking place 8 days after the previous round’s games have been completed??
Richie
I remember seeing the England centre forward Shearer kick Neil Lennon in the face while Neil was on the ground.
Verdict : Not guilty.
Unbelievable.
I’ve disliked Sheare ever since.
TET
If Ashley Cole hadn’t stuck up for him, he would have been found guilty IMO.
Racists tend not to have black people as mates
This issue is nothing to do with his adultery though. Imagine this was a Celtic player and he had been cleared by a court of law, only for the SFA to do what the FA have done
We would all be outraged and rightly so imo

Whilst BSR peruses the pasty shelf for usual 15 minutes.
Philvis….
I have a proposition….
Next Bank-Holiday Weekend….
What say you that we ’round-up’ the most recalcitrant ‘lefties’ on CQN….
And take them for a ‘spin’ high above the clouds….
In the Splendid ‘Nimble’….
Let the Jet-Stream blow away their four decades of mental cobwebs and stoor…
Let the cleansing rain strip off the ambre-gris….
So that one can tell where the fungus ends, and the bipedal organism starts..
Let them learn to discern ‘the wood from the trees’….
And disown their ‘Slacker Ideologies’
The stubborn ones, can be discarded as ‘excess ballast’….
I’m sure that there are some residences around Royal Cholmondley….
That could find a place for a new miki67 or a roberttressell shaped goldfish pond…
In some corner of their manicured lawns…?
And surely the Outing could be finessed as a tax-deductible expense …..
If not actually qualifying for a Lottery Grant…?
(ThumbsUp?)
MakingBritainBeautifulAgainCSC.
You know who I meant.
ASonOfDan
I think you are getting John Terry mixed up with Jonathan Woodgate
What do John Terry and Kelvin MacKenzie have in common?
They both have their apologists here on dear ole CQN.
A broad church we are indeed!
Alan Pardew given a new 8 year deal at NU
The world has indeed gone mad today :)
Chelsea boot boy….disgraced racist philandering thug…..aye,but he’ll still get his wedge as he struts out for Chelski….d’you think he really gives a flyin’ ****? He’ll probably see out his footballing twilight years for the likes of sevco utd. or whatever theycall themselves circa 2020.
tet,
teams usually prefer player who perform away from home :o)
Infamy! Infamy! The handwringin’ defective’s goat’s goat it infa me!
: > )
Ten Men
Ok, forget the adultery, that was unecesarry on my part, but he is :>)
He is a thug, only a technecality spared him jail.
I disagree about racisists not have black friends, I know quite a few racists who have black or coloured friends, they don’t see them as being equal, but they exist.
Ashley Cole want’s to be white anyways :>)

Welcome to the mad house, just stay here it gets easier :))
HAIL HAIL
Hilarious stuff on RFC official site about complaining to the BBC- quoting “… is it Super Ally or Fat Sally”, glad they like to reproduce the jokes about their rotund leader!
It’s “Super Ally” btw- he’s doing a grand job.
TET
Oh yes, there is no issue from me on the adultery charge :)
I find it interesting though that Rio Ferdinand was fined ‘only’ £45k by the FA for making a racist comment towards Ashley Cole last month
goldstar10
The super ally, fat sally was on Off the Ball last saturday.
I was listning to it with the wife, and she remarked that they said the phrase loads of times.

So The Rangers can make an informed choice on who they want in the next round
The Singing Detective Demands The Resignation Of Campbell Ogilvie – What am I, Willy Fog? Let them buy their own aircraft like a normal person. (thumbsup)
Richie – The difference is, as you say, there was video evidence of the assault on Neil Lennon.
Nobody except the people involved know for sure what happened between Terry and Anton Ferdinand.
We do know that Anton’s brother definitely did send a racist tweet out to the world at large and there were no criminal charges or months-long media outrage. An MP sent a racist tweet out to the world at large and there were no criminal charges or months-long media outrage.
Conclusion: it’s because John Terry is white. (thumbsup)
South Of Tunis – I’ve heard rumours that Berlusconi was a rum cove too. Shocked, shocked I was. (thumbsup)
THE EXILED TIM – Ashley Cole want’s to be white anyways :>)
Oh dear. (thumbsup)
This guy has been pestering the SFA all day. Good on him
jake the snake @celticservant
Regarding Forres Mechanics v Rangers. Should Lee McCulloch be available? Re earlier tweet. @Scottish_FA
