They’d all like to play for Real Madrid

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Virgil van Dijk is a class defender, one of the best we’ve seen in recent decades, but there’s no revelation in the fact that he would consider moving to the right club at a more testing league; they all would.  The only pertinent fact about Virgil is that several clubs may put that to the test later this year.

The main thing to consider with Virgil is that he’s not likely to ‘Do a Kelvin’, and report as not in the right frame of mind to play, midway through Champions League qualifiers.  With Jason Denayer wanted back in Manchester, it’s important Celtic retain Virgil for the qualifiers, or are sufficiently compensated before then that they can confidently secure the early signatures of prime targets.

From what I hear, Virgil’s been more than professional in his dealings with the club.  He’s not running campaigns to leave and despite the plainly obvious that they would all like to play for Real Madrid, if the right move doesn’t materialise, he’ll get stuck in at Celtic for next season.  So it’s not time to reminisce on favourite VVD moments yet, like the time that wee boy bounced off him at Hampden.

Trophy Day at Celtic Park is coming up on Sunday, 24 May when we play Inverness, when the Foundation will be distributing badges before the game to raise funds for the enormous work they do for the local homeless, the world’s poor, those with autism, those with Downs, and many more people and families who need your care.

You can participate in our annual Trophy Day by volunteering to work with the Foundation before kick-off.  It is genuinely good fun and you get to step into the 127-year-old shoes those who have gone before you.

There are around 100 volunteers and we’re only looking for around 20 more, so get in soon by emailing cfcfoundation@celticfc.co.uk or calling 0141 551 4291.

  13. "mouldy67" supporting the fearless Oscar Knox on

    Hello team, would be looking for your help to spread the word about campaign;

     

     

    “The 8th May 2015 will mark the first anniversary of our friend’s child, Oscar James Knox, gaining his Angel wings. To celebrate Oscar’s short but memorable life, we’ve organised a 223 mile bike ride over three days.

     

     

    We’re using this opportunity to help another young child who desperately needs support: and fast. Eileidh Paterson needs £100K by June in order to receive specialised DFMO cancer treatment in the USA. That treatment is not currently available in the UK.

     

     

    On Saturday 16th May 2015, the cyclists will leave Forres, Eileidh’s home town, bound for Inverness. There, they will take in the SPFL match between Caley Thistle and Dundee United, raising awareness of neuroblastoma, and in particular Eileidh’s plight, before setting off south to Glasgow, and Celtic Park, home of Wee Oscar’s favourite team.

     

     

    We have set up this team page to raise awareness and much needed funds. Our team have a common goal to raise money for the Neuroblastoma Childrens Cancer Alliance (NCCA UK). The team are Steve Taylor, Kevan Lawler, Iain McGovern, Robert Campbell and Paul Muldoon.

     

     

    We are football fans of different teams with a common goal: to make a difference for Eileidh in wee Oscar’s name.

     

     

    We would like to ask for your help by donating to Eileidh’s campaign.

    High risk in copying in an article about a team called R****** but the similarities go beyond the name. From the BBC today..

     

     

    – This club have been charged with breaking the Financial Fair Play Rules BUT don’t think it should apply to them.

     

     

    – This club’s owner wrote off 60 million of loans to make the books look better.

     

     

    – At the same time they posted almost a 10 million loss.

     

     

     

    “QPR ‘challenge legality’ of Football League FFP regulations

     

    Queens Park Rangers revealed they have begun legal proceedings against the Football League, a day after being relegated from the Premier League.

     

     

    The club say they are challenging “the legality of the Championship Financial Fair Play rules”, which could leave them facing a fine of up to £58m.

     

     

    Rangers said any charge for breaching the rules would not begin until the outcome of their challenge was known.

     

     

    Their relegation was confirmed by Sunday’s 6-0 loss at Manchester City.

     

     

    In March, the club announced losses of £9.8m, but £60m worth of loans were written off by owner Tony Fernandes and other shareholders.

     

     

    A failure to pay any fine imposed could see the London side being refused entry into the Championship.”

    Interesting background Info rom the same story

     

     

     

    “Football League Financial Fair Play Rules”

     

     

    – Championship clubs were permitted losses of £8m (£5m funded by shareholders) in 2013-14.

     

     

    – Clubs promoted back to the Premier League who exceeded those losses are subject to a fine.

     

     

    – There is a sliding scale on the next £10m of losses, with a maximum fine of £6.681m.

     

     

    – Once losses exceed £18m, the fine is imposed on a strict pound-for-pound basis.

     

     

    – Should there be an overall loss of £30m, the fine would be almost £19m. If it was £50m, the figure would be nearly £39m.”

     

     

    I assume that the Chelseas, Man Citys etc just depend on Sugar Sheikhers.

    leftclickceltic thanks for your re-posting at 13.52 of the interview with Nora Connolly O’Brien, the daughter of James Connolly. I remember visiting Kilmainham Jail and standing looking at that corner where they shot him with the tears streaming down my face as I thought of that brave man being tied to a chair so that he could be executed. To hear his daughter say that he prayed for those who, in his words, did their duty by being his executioners tells us all we need to know about this great man.Hopefully, we will never forget him
