On Tuesday we covered the financial benefit Celtic experienced after Brexit due to the fall in the value of the pound against the euro – the currency Champions League payments are denominated in. Today Manchester United revealed a different aspect to the same economic calamity.
Much of Manchester United’s debt is denominated in US dollars. As a consequence of Brexit, the pound also collapsed against the dollar; this alone added an astonishing £88m to the club’s debt figure.
I see Newco fans are busying themselves debating who should replace Warburton as their next manager. Fans do this, it’s a Pavlovian response to unfulfilled expectations. Many feel it’s a right and appropriate discourse, but watching from the outside you can see how destructive it is.
When fans emotionally move on from a manager it is difficult to back his team when it needs it most. Should Morton [Celtic development FC] have the temerity to open the scoring at Ibrox this weekend all of this managerial window-shopping will fuel exactly what the home team don’t need.
There are few things we can learn from that lot, mostly ‘what not to do’ related items like this.
The Road to Lisbon May 2017 Cycle
I am genuinely in awe of the fans who will cycle from Celtic Park to Estadio Nacional, Lisbon, in May to raise money for your Foundation, Solving Kids Cancer and Children in Crossfire. It is an incredible personal undertaking by each of them, which will bring aid and comfort to many in need.
The project is being driven by one of our own, Mouldy67 – who is a role model to us all. This is from his MyDonate page:
My name is Paul Muldoon, I am delighted to be part of a group of 28 Celts, who plan to cycle from Celtic Park to Lisbon. Each of our group will be funding the cost of the professional support company, accommodation, food and travel by themselves.
We aim to raise thousands of pounds to support three charities close to our hearts; The Celtic Foundation, Solving Kids Cancer and Children in crossfire.
The plan is to depart Celtic Park on Thursday May 11, 2017 and will include 13 cycling days, spread over 14 days. We hope to arrive in Lisbon on May 25, 2017.
This project moves a level beyond mere respect, please do what you can to support here.

They`re just desperate to get rid of Brendan.
Davie Provan flogging him to anywhere in the EPL.
We all know why.
I blame Anne Rice.
What about werewolves are they ok?
It’s TV and books aka fiction Petec. You need to stop taking it so seriously. Plus True Blood & Vamp Diaries have some right hotties in them.
Wizards? Harry Potter?
Or should we just stick to fundementally reading the bible, close down on a Sunday and be WeeFree?

Please address me.
Christ Died to take away Everyones Sin for those that Believe in Him.
The Amount of Vampire PRPGND is Ridiculous, well unless you are Lost.
I watched a film today about a Racist.
Mental that Millions are Judging Trump.
It is GODs story – Seriously reflect on that.
Monsters Ball was the name of the Film.
I watched Platoon after it on the Same Channel.

They`re so insular and out of touch with reality .
That wouldn`t surprise me .
And that`s just the scribes.
As for the punters….
There would probably be ructions.

I did address you in the post.
What’s the diff in watching supernatural fiction to watching the likes of The a Blacklist, Suits or the new one I’m on just now Pure which is pretty good.
It’s all just fiction. Just stories. Like the bible except some of these are written by women. Tcht!!!
Believe me if there wee vampires I’d know about it. I’ve no slept for about 4 weeks. :@-)))

Trump is a narcissist playing to the racist agenda Petec. Very much more dangerous than any KKK eejit.
You pray away for him. I’ll pray for those lives he will destroy.
MWD
MoonbeamsWD,
You Know you are Wrong.
Pride is making you like this.
Let it Go Danno.
It’d be hard for them to call us all Brendan for a start Macjay.
MWD
Petec
You have no clue to my levels of pride to judge or comment on that.
That is complete nonsense.
Let what go? Having a different opinion on reality to you.
Seriously.

Don’t you Ever forget I am Nothing Dano.
Nothing at all.
Petec
There you go creating a view of what you think I believe. As I said previously with regards pride. You haven’t a clue what I believe.
Just because someone doesn’t shout from a box on Sauchiehall St or even attend church, synagogue, temple or mosque doesn’t automatically give you the right to make judgement on their beliefs because you stand on your pulpit.
I keep my beliefs and my religion to myself and private.

What do you actually mean when you reply “I am nothing”.
It seems a meaningless statement to make.

Watched an short report on BBC world news this morning. Montana, a state the size of Germany with a population on one million,voted for Trump the narcissistic racist mysoginist.
No room for immigrants they say,they will try to bring sharia law to Montana says a guy who lives in the middle of nowhere in a wooden shack.
A young couple from Eritrea who spent four years being vetted are placed in Montana, shunned by the local community.
Some Americans live in their own wee racist insult bubbles,no clue what happens in the rest of the world. Trump is surrounding himself with racists in his cabinet.
Can’t end well.

I can’t Fix one thing in this World.
My Truth, if you accept that Yeshua Died, to take away Every Sin. WOW.
Magical, Logical, Majestical.
Need it
BTW Petec I am not having a go.
I have been reading a lot of the night shift and participating this last few weeks due to insomnia. And generally picking up on your stuff which I tend to usually miss. It’s difficult not to.
I do know you are a good guy but the preaching seems to be relentless.

I am Nothing in any scheme of anything. I am so very small, although well overweight (working on that for Skiing). The Almighty Created this World for All to Marvel at.
The Hater wants us to Hate.
Dano you are a Top Class Dude.

I call him Jesus. I believe he lived and that he died. The rest is a grey area.
I was brought up Catholic and it is a difficult belief system to throw away completely. But I question it more than I don’t.
If there is a heaven and my confirmation name sake locks me out because of that then I suppose there is always Vampireism.
MWD
Again I am swayed more by evolution than religion but my religious childhood still sits with that too.

Anyway
Night night or is it good morning.

MWD,
Yer Mind is closed, I hope it opens up Soon. My Opinion ONLY.
Celtic with Kieran and SinCs. Magical.
I have posted links that show the DEEP concerns about Trump. The stem of the Abortion thing it is essential, hardly a Hitler manouevre.
God USES EVERYONE.
It is his wee Story. ;))
