Time for expensive signings, the 1254125 10k

1606

Motherwell travel to Celtic Park tomorrow on a mission.  A win would see them draw level with Celtic, and after a physically and mentally draining Champions League midweek game, they will fancy their chances.  Inverness remain top of the league on goal difference, but this is the third consecutive season Motherwell have tucked in below Celtic.  They will not finish above Celtic, of course, but this is likely to be our toughest test of the season.

As well as the result, there should be other objectives from tomorrow’s game.  We are eight games into our European campaign but our two most expensive summer signings, Teemu Pukki and Derk Boerrigter, and still to settle into the team.  Both should start against Motherwell.

For reasons you know too well, I thought it would be a good idea to do the Great Scottish Run on Sunday in aid of 1254125.  I have (just) setup a Mydonate page, if you have been unable to participate in any event so far, you can do so online now.

Many thanks for your support.

  4. Lol Kojo Indeed give the guy a chance. Much rather see him and stokes up front as you know stokes will score goals and pukki doesny

     

     

    Just saying there are bigger guys oot there that Balde will bash

     

     

    Yup Balde and stokes up front will do me

  5. JimmyQuinnsBits on

    Kojo,

     

     

    I sincerely hope ur right and um no

     

     

    For I don’t see any promise in big Balde… and it’s no like me to call a player oot early, mainly because I’m no qualified to do so.

     

     

    Havin said that, like a fool, I don’t see IT in um

     

     

    If I’m wrang I’ll be delighted

  6. Magnificent. Lost me there. Lots if bloggers discussing upfront. Why only comment about myself. Shame using the passing of a good man as an excuse to silence critics of our striker policy. Utter Shame

    Sidney – I never put you down mate,I merely,asked you, politely to spin that same record another time.

     

     

    Apologies for any upset that I may have caused you.

  13. Jimmyquinn. Thank you. Just some bloggers using the sad passing of a good Celtic fan to have a go at me because my views on Celtic are different to theirs

  15. Phyllis Dietrichson on

    James Forrest – a great tribute.

     

     

    I don’t have religion in my life any more but i hope that St John Doyle’s family can take solace from the messages on here – for my own part i found him a decent man, and as he goes to his resting place i hope that his values flow down to his children and to theirs.

    I have long since stopped reading anything kojo says, not worth the increased blood pressure.. I read your posts and comment as I see it

  18. Mr quinn. Not into fights. Just into what’s best to drive our team forward

     

    Nae goalscorer is top if a lot fans agendas and having oudels cash makes it worse

  19. 16 roads - Wee Oscar the Celtic warrior. on

    No Sidney.The difference between your post and Kojo’s and DD’s is this – Your post read like you just wanted to start a stupid argument,for the sake of arguing.

     

     

    Post what you want,you don’t bother me in the slightest…But your timing was atrocious,that’s all.

  20. JimmyQuinnsBits on

    ST,

     

     

    “Mr quinn” sounds ominous, and I’m far from ominous and it’s pregnant skies, laden with doom…. ahem, anyway, where was I

     

     

    oh aye, JQB will dae… and I agree – I don’t rate Balde or Pukki.

     

     

    Its only opinions…. they aren’t goin to be changed by folk takin the huff

  21. re Lasley.

     

     

    I know his father Joe , very well.

     

     

    a scouser, a lovelier, nice, honest , man you couldnt meet,

     

     

    i worked with him, and i dont know about him living in Clydebank, but he worked south of the erskine bridge , and indeed hid son lives in erskine now.

     

     

    Joe told me once , and if you looked at him, its obvious, he was a boxer and a footballer, as a boy. he has that steely eyed , determined look that says, i win every round , i won every tackle, if i get hurt ok, but , i had to win.

     

     

    its easy to get annoyed about who lasley plays for, but i tell you he just wants to win every single ball or punch like his dad,

     

     

    they aint no huns, just scousers,

    Last week at Rugby Park Balde looked like an elephant on skates. He looked awkward, clumsy and devoid of touch and awareness.

     

     

    There was a moment when a large section of the Chadwick Stand actually laughed at an attempt to run with the ball.

     

     

    I hope I’m wrong but for me the guy’s never going to make it at Celtic.

  23. 16 roads. Come if your high horse mate. Every time I say something that you don’t agree with you think it’s an argument ??

     

    It’s a discussion mate. Take some calming pills mate

     

    I say our board take the Mickey out of the fans and pukki was a last minute panic buy that is money down the drain

     

     

    Now mate if you don’t agree then fair enough. But don’t be-little a fellow tim for having different views.

     

    Now away and look at your balance sheet

     

    I will go at look at YouTube for Celtic goal scores that I have watched starting off with Frankie mcgarvey
