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.

Who is the Whistler for the Saint Johnstone game ?
And they wonder why we laugh at them, they don’t half make it easy mind you, the gallant pioneers pic being the latest in a long line.
And I really canny see it finishing any time soon, more hilarity me thinks.

I was up at the ticket office this morning renewing my 2 books and asked if we would be getting new cards. Short answer is they don’t know, they may issue new ones with NB sponsor on it, waiting on a decision…

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.

Once met a mad mason that thought he’d shake my faith,
I’ll recommend a book that will shake you faith says he
My faith was shaken a long time ago, says I
Well this will confirm all your fears, says he
So thinking he was going to ask me to read the blood and the grail, I offered that I’d read it and without DNA it was just a theory.
No, says he, The DaVinci Code, says he
I respond with one question
Which section of the book store should I look for this book ?
Eh ? Says he
Geography ?
History ?
Fact ?
Fiction ?
Awe, says he
Fiction
D’oh
It’s amazin that well educated people need to be led by the nose, no longer a mason is he.
jg,
Checkmate, I sit corrected with a big riddie
There were mixed messages on the blog today about the behaviour of the Police at Aberdeen. Would like to be certain of what took place as I am writing to an MSP about the OB Act.

Hate to burst your bubble but it was filmed in Bonnybridge.
Is this painting of the gardener makin’ the huns have a wee Magritte?
Salvador Dali’s watch walked into a bar, and the barman said ‘Why the long face?’

:-) that would explain the funny accents – ‘eh!’

connaire12,
There were no mixed massages, police apprehensions rarely equate to arrests, the journal report was a police friendly advert it was not an exposé, it did expose that the Celtic security team were not included, something no many picked up on.
The Aberdeen security team were present but no mention of the Celtic security team, why no ?
It’ll no’ be the first time a Constable’s hung about Ibrox!

I would be one of them conspiracy types, one who disny believe much of what they tell us, the moon landings included, esp when a Nasa chap said a few years ago that they couldn’t send a man to the moon and guarantee that they could bring him back safely, maybes he was telling porkies, he mentioned the size of computer that would have been required in 1969, it would have been as big as the spaceship he said, but I must be wrong, cos they say it happened :-)
And aye, the pool isny bad, just had a wee dip to cool down.
Aff oot.

VVD was with us for the qualifiers last season, if he’s around this year for them I hope he does a lot better, with his new partner.
Au contraire CSC
Scrolled back, saw contributions from I think The Silent Scream, Jungle,Diddle Dee and a few other strange ones. This place is becoming like The Mad Hatters Tea Party. There may be only one or two Hatters but with multiple monikers and these guy/guys talking to themselves any new lurkers would be quickly disenchanted with site.
Its a selfish childish form of cyber vandalism and if its left unchecked will do serious damage to the reputation of the site.
On idioms and ‘The New Pioneers 2012’
On pain(ting) of death…
No pleasure without pain(ting)
Hence…. It has been designated
A pain(ting) in the rear.
Modern cyber vandalism is rubbish.
It would be a nightmare scenario to loose both our central defenders before we kick a ball in earnest in the Champion league qualifier’s.
And i wouldn’t place a bet against it happening.
It wouldn’t be so bad if the manager was given the fee to replace VVD, but we all know that’s not about to happen.

Conspiracy theories are just that. Theories.
Some may be true. Some not
You should try the link.

Clink \o/ best pool floor,
No question
Burgas,
I’ll be amazed if we lose both centre halfs without replacements before the qualifiers.
In fact, I just don’t see it
That’s it, am starting a pe-Titian to have all bad painting puns banned ;-))

I agree re: some strange new posters
but the nature of a blog is freedom of speech within the rules …….censorship would also damage the blogs reputation imo
