Those moving on in the summer

1021

I’ve always cautioned against judging a player who has been out for an extended period but being hooked at halftime last night looks like an ominous sign for Derk Boerrigter, who sparkled for 30 minutes on his debut against Ross County earlier in the season but has come nowhere close to that form since.

Injuries stopped him in his tracks that day against County, and several times since, but whatever the reason, we’ve not seen anything like what the player is capable of, and at 27, he is likely to be looking for first team action elsewhere next season.

After last night’s game Neil Lennon spoke of the possibility of signing and losing players over the summer transfer window, which starts in three weeks.  Buying well is crucial, and Celtic didn’t do that last summer, but getting those ‘no longer in the manager’s plans’ off the books as early as possible is also important.

Last August we offloaded Lassad, probably by parting with a bundle of cash in the process.  This is not a precedent Celtic will have been keen to set, but it’s better to have the decks cleared than have an unproductive player linger around for a year.

Anyone starting less than a third of the games he is available for selection should be looking for pastures new, especially with new arrivals expected this summer.

    The saddest news, RIP Wee Man

     

     

    My sincere condolences to the Knox family.

  2. SuperSutton on

    Bravery beyond his years. The torture and torment he endured in his short life is incomprehensible to me. A pain that his family and friends shared but alas, could not do anything to prevent.

     

     

    As a member of the CQN family and therefore by extension a member of the wee Oscar family, I am truly saddened by the news. Though comforted that his pain is now over and God can now offer him peace.

     

     

    God bless wee Oscar.

  3. News headlines.

     

     

    Ex-Rangers star appears in court to deny urinating in the street

     

     

    The story then goes on to say how he urinated in the street and then failed to provide two breath samples at Govan Police office.

     

     

    Now is that no drink driving procedure.!

     

     

    Good night last night, Ayrshire Tims.

     

     

    Ayrshire is Green and White

    Thoughts are with the Knox family. A brave wee boy who will be fondly remembered by all who were touched by his struggle. He leaves a legacy for those who were brought together in his cause.

     

     

    God bless you Oscar

  7. Do not let your hearts be troubled

     

    Trust in God still and trust in me

     

    In my Fathers house there are many rooms

    After I have gone and prepared a place for you

     

    I shall come again and take you with me

     

    So that where I am, you may also be

    Life’s end, and life’s rebirth –

     

    In heaven’s grace, eternally

  8. Rest in Peace our wee Hero.

     

     

    May his family find strength to get through the time ahead for them.

     

     

    Stephen, Leona and Izzy, you will be in my thoughts.

    Death is nothing at all.

     

    I have only slipped away to the next room.

     

    I am I and you are you.

     

    Whatever we were to each other,

     

    That, we still are.

     

     

    Call me by my old familiar name.

     

    Speak to me in the easy way

     

    which you always used.

     

    Put no difference into your tone.

     

    Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

     

     

    Laugh as we always laughed

     

    at the little jokes we enjoyed together.

     

    Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.

     

    Let my name be ever the household word

     

    that it always was.

     

    Let it be spoken without effect.

     

    Without the trace of a shadow on it.

     

     

    Life means all that it ever meant.

     

    It is the same that it ever was.

     

    There is absolute unbroken continuity.

     

    Why should I be out of mind

     

    because I am out of sight?

     

     

    I am but waiting for you.

     

    For an interval.

     

    Somewhere. Very near.

     

    Just around the corner.

     

     

    All is well.

    Apologies, I hope you didn’t think I was pulling you up Jim.

     

     

    There are really know words which can describe the bravery of this little boy. He’ll be at rest with the angels in a Spiderman costume eating pizza.

     

     

    God Bless you Wee Oscar, an inspiration to us all.

    My day had started so well. Now, I will always remember the feeling when I saw the news.

     

     

    God rest Oscar – God bless his lovely family.

     

     

    Tears in Heaven

     

     

    Would you know my name

     

    If I saw you in heaven?

     

    Would it be the same

     

    If I saw you in heaven?

     

     

    I must be strong

     

    And carry on,

     

    ‘Cause I know I don’t belong

     

    Here in heaven.

     

     

    Would you hold my hand

     

    If I saw you in heaven?

     

    Would you help me stand

     

    If I saw you in heaven?

     

     

    I’ll find my way

     

    Through night and day,

     

    ‘Cause I know I just can’t stay

     

    Here in heaven.

     

     

    Time can bring you down,

     

    Time can bend your knees.

     

    Time can break your heart,

     

    Have you begging please, begging please.

     

     

    Beyond the door,

     

    There’s peace I’m sure,

     

    And I know there’ll be no more

     

    Tears in heaven.

     

     

    Would you know my name

     

    If I saw you in heaven?

     

    Would it be the same

     

    If I saw you in heaven?

     

     

    I must be strong

     

    And carry on,

     

    ‘Cause I know I don’t belong

     

    Here in heaven.

    Chris, Of Course not.

     

     

    I thought twice about posting the news but once it had started to appear on twitter etc I felt I had to let folk on here know rather than say nothing and leave everyone in ignorance to find out second hand so to speak.

     

     

    Also, God help me, I believe in the good that a whole host of instant prayers and good wishes bring.

     

     

    I wish to God that I had had nothing to say at all.

  22. God rest your brave soul wee man. A true inspiration to us all. God take care of all your family.

  23. thoughts & prayers for our own wee Superhero and his equally heroic family.

     

     

    may perpetual light shine upon him.

     

     

    none of us will ever forget that wee, big man.
