The first reaction to the international break is never positive: “How many players do we have away and what condition will we get them back in?” The team which stopped the ten had more representatives at the 1998 World Cup than any other side (a remarkable achievement), but we caught a cold from these exploits the following season.
Leigh Griffiths would no doubt be delighted to start for Scotland this week. Representing your country is one of the things footballers look back on in their later years, so for his own sake, I hope Leigh gets the call, but for Celtic’s I’d be quite happy for him to have a quiet couple of weeks.
Griffiths, Scott Brown and Nir Bitton are precious commodities to Celtic right now, we can’t afford international mishaps for any of them. There’s better cover for the others who will be on international duty, but Stefan Johansen in particular looks like could do with a break.
You’ll know Packie Bonner’s autobiography, The Last Line, launches this month. Packie has a night at Walkabout in Glasgow on 29th October, where the big man will speak about his career, and many other things, past and contemporary. Tickets are available here.

He did look the part,I must admit!
Delaney’s Dunkey
Thankyou for that and can I apologise to one and all for the various typos and spelling mistakes in that long post.
Not only should you spell check everything, but you should not attempt to write hee haw while simultaneously trying to do the daughter’s homework and watch Marseille v PSG at the same time!
Bad spellers of the world untie!

If I was to believe all that I read in the johnjames article, I would think that sevco are donald ducked and about to enter administration very soon.
Sixtaeseven-not to mention the regular handouts from the BBC,when nearly always,the game is never the tie of the round.Never seen any figures from us for CW and 2 Cup Finals.HH
VP
The Rat Pack were hingin aboot wi the coolest interloper in town COSY COARNER BHOY. :)
DD- Challs legal fees ,may well be convenient for Sevco…..
BRTH
Haha. Nae e in Dunky. I think? :)
The emergence of JohnJames is another curious development in this wretchedly complex (though cosmically amusing!) saga.
Curious because he seems to be that rarest of things: A Sevco fan who can see though the BS served up by His Glibness. And curious because his detailed analyses beg the question: where the hell has he been in these last few years?
JJ is, I believe, a disgruntled former Ibrox insider. Someone who knows intimately the inner workings of the Blue Room and who has fallen out big time with the new board. It is inconceivable someone with his level of knowledge and boldness was not posting regularly when Whyte and Green were in charge.
Who is he? There are a couple of obvious candidates: a tired and emotional former office bearer? Or He Who Always Gets Paid..?
But ultimately, it doesn’t really matter. What matters is his accuracy or otherwise of his work. I see a few on TSFM are picking holes in his numbers, but he seems to agree with the thrust of the “haters’ narrative” – that Sevco is a busted flush, and its demise is only a matter of time.
BB
You think the lying King’s plan A was admin all along?
Delaney’s, good one about B Laudrup not even being the best player in his family.
!BADA BING!
It may be convenient for them as a company,but not as a club. If they use it as an excuse for admin or liquidation,they might not find the rest of the game so accommodating this time.
At least,I hope so.

allright bud.
did you see the request for help to find an old celt in irvine, from tommy20 ?
Delaneys Dunky on 6th October 2015 8:43 pm –
Cheers, not seen it. Here’s hoping.
What about john James and Phil’s mole – Walter Smith :) easy innit

Naw missed it mate
DD- seemed obvious early on that King had no money,but would gladly use the gullible huns money.Add Challs legal fees to the rest of the mess and Admin looks a live option.
BMCUW- Look for a 10 point penalty for Admin,and they will still win the league.HH
Dallas
His dad and brother outshone him. He only became a ‘star’ in Scotland. Good player blown out of all proprtion by that Rosevale Bar punter and Sky Sports presenter Jim ‘slimy’ White and the rest of the praying for a hero in blue SMSM.
This thing about the james & John brothers, you can blame Zebadee for that. Nonsensical post from me but at least it keeps the numbers up.
TALLYBHOY on 6TH OCTOBER 2015 7:21 PM
I hate international breaks/weeks, because Celtic are not playing, but I am really pissed-off this time as I will be unable to attend Saturday’s hootenanny and the Ayrshire Tims soiree on Thursday at the usual boozer in Ayr.

It get’s worser…Birra Moretti on draught Tallybhoy.hh
Van Dijk saying he’s already improved since moving the EPL.
Also says the games much faster down south.
Why is it whenever a player moves from England to Scotland, they are stunned how how quick the game is and vise versa (eg Virgil)?

Delaney’s, the fact that B Laudrup couldn’t cut it at Chelsea after he left Ibrox , shows him up. In a way I’m grateful he stayed at Ibrox for the stop ten season. He showed a real lack of interest that season, his additional year’s wages and I assume he was paid a loyalty bonus , played a part in the eventual financial downfall.
I don’t think he played for anyone else after being mutually consented at Chelsea.

He also left for eff all instead off the alleged £6m on offer at the time.
You would need a heart of stone not to laugh…

You must really like tonydonnelly eh :)

Aye,OK. That’s a coupla times your reading of my posts,or vice versa,seem at odds with the intent behind them.
Saint Stivs
you got any details on “an old Celt” from Irvine ?
Dallas
A decent player in Scotland PR Hyped sky high.
My late dad loved Willie Henderson and Jim Baxter as the best thems players he had seen.
According to him, Laudrup was a hyped up average player who could not lace the aforementioned’s drinks.

You have to remember the level of intellect of most footballers. Pat Nevin is seen as a professorial in the media.(cos he us specky!)

I do,mate. Been asking around too,no joy so far.
If you want his full name,mail me please at

It obviously means a great deal to TOMMIE20,and it would be great to put them in touch.

I put forward an idea a while back that (if possible), stats on the top 10 posters each year, since the blog started, would be interesting, controversial and possibly poignant.
Based on prolificacy not quality of course!
