They’d all like to play for Real Madrid

754

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.

  1. Nye Bevans' rebel soldier on

    Good Evening Timland.

     

     

    Wee Messi @ 4s fur the first goal ,same as last week

     

    fill yer boot’s

    Although it was last season, what a doing Bayern dished out to Barca so whats to stop them doing it again?

     

     

    Perhaps Barca are defending better now?

     

     

    They certainly have a stunning record in their league campaign this year!

     

     

    On their night, these teams are capable of destroying whoever they face and although the quarter final this season against Porto is not as big an ask as what faces them tonight…..Bayern came up with what was required and some more.

     

     

    Bayerns season is over tonight if they do not get the result they want as their league is already won and they were knocked out the cup by Borussia Dortmund a few weaks ago.

     

    Having lost that game, the defeat to Barca and their last 2 league games(albeit the league was already won)

     

    That’s 4 defeats in a row now so maybe they are just not in the kind of form that is needed to produce the display they need?

     

     

    As Tom said……1st goal is going to be sooooo important……IF Barca get it, will Bayern just go through the motions making it an anti-climax or will they get it and really go for Barca?

     

     

    I hope they do score 1st and give us an enthralling game, but i want Barca to go through.

     

     

    Cannae make my mind up whether i want them to face Real or Juve though…..happy for either of those 2 to get knocked out but also kinda happy for either to go through.

     

    Think it would be good for the Italians to get back on that stage and id also like to see an el classico final.

    That’s fair enough Canamalar.

     

     

    I’ve watched some incredible videos that deal with the End of Times. Some Christian, others Islamic even environmental ones.

     

     

    Not going to post them here because people could find them a wee bit depressing.

     

     

    I shall leave you all in peace now.

    Thunder road,

     

     

    Twas 2 years ago but you are right. Bayern might just click. I think racatic just stiffens it up in the middle a bit though. 3/4 goals is a tough ask.

     

     

    I woulda liked this game as the final but the ol classico would be no bad either

     

     

    HH

  7. Dbbia,

     

    Understood but irreverence is a habit, my initial thought was, wow I never seen that before.

     

    It makes a difference, it does

  8. "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.

  12. People have been walking up mountains and drinking the Kool Aid at regular intervals as the end of the earth has been proclaimed on over 200 recorded occasions. Entities as diverse as Beatus of Liebana, Stoffler’s mum, the ever reliable Martin Luther, and George Van Tassel (bet he felt a right tit) have been cuprits. Many have had the brass neck to revise their predictions more than once. I believe Cotton Mather holds the current record.

     

     

    One day somebody will get it right. My biggest worry is that those that are invested in the belief will strive to make it so.

     

     

     

    Here’s one I prepared earlier

    Nope

     

     

    I mean that if you restrict yourself to wonderin about it, you will come to no harm.

     

     

    God knows how it came through on the BGX translator

  19. I expect a near full strength team to play versus ICT

     

    But versus St Johnstone, let’s give a few fringe players some game time.

     

     

    Would be great to see the likes of Rogic, Michael Duffy , Scepovic …get a start.
