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.

    Congrats to u and minx1888.

     

     

    Agree on Balde, there’s just something not there. It’s a hell of a lot easier to laugh at one of your own players falling over the ball when your 4-2 up…..somehow I don’t think we’d be laughing at nil nil wi 10 to go…

     

    The big fella’s not for me.

    ST,

     

     

    sad to say, he’s not one of mine, for there’s no-one in my family – and we are many – who has sniffed anythin near a million. I fear we are only vigorous in the genital sense, having neither the guile nor the obsequiousness to swim in the warm seas of mammon.

     

     

    It’s tragic, I like mammonies

    The sad news of St John Doyle going to heaven (Certainty) so suddenly has left me gutted….

     

     

     

    Councillor George Ryan , God bless you and all loved ones at this sad time…RIP

  6. As Jock Stein NEARLY said a long time ago,………….

     

     

    Only a complete IDIOT would attempt to make judgements on a player when the guy is hardly in the door.

     

     

    Big Jock wisnae daft.

    Fair enough muchacho.

     

     

    Celtic,life and football are all about opinions,unfortunately,in your case…your opinions about Celtic turn out to be wrong about 99% of the time.

     

     

    That’s no problem,but at least have the good grace to admit when you talk tripe.

     

     

    Thanks again.

    HT – I agree completely about Amido B – second touch is always a tackle. But a poster on here said he saw elements of Drogba in him, so i really hope we’re both wrong.

     

     

    Congratulations by the way – as John Lennon said:

     

     

    Love is the answer, and you know that for sure.

  10. I should be a fortune teller.

     

    :¬)))

    No idea. But no matter who signed him, he is entitled to settle in before he is praised,… or condemned.

     

     

    Good luck.

    Hope it is not blind faith. But there is something special about Amido.

  12. off to bed,

     

     

    came out of a self imposed exile , because St John Doyle was a great CQNer and honest with it,

     

     

    going back to lurking because still , its obvious, fans who never kicked a ball, think they can comment for the price of a season ticket,

     

     

    keep it lit.

  13. Celtic won today.

     

    I’m sure that would have pleased George.

     

    As for the rest of us i think we should be thankful

     

    for every game we see and stop bloody bickering

     

    with each other.

  14. sons of duntocher

     

    Antonine 97s will be at colquon park 1pm v celtic youths today.

     

     

    get along, watch a very technically good football team.

    Winded me up like the proverbial alarm clock there anyway ya tunt ye.

     

     

    First time for everything.

     

     

    Ah well,such is life.

  16. Shocked at the news about St John Doyle.

     

     

    George,

     

     

    Thanks for your great contributions to this site, and the good you tirelessly fought for. I enjoyed your passionate, intelligent and thoughtful debates here, and you will be sorely missed. Good men in politics seem hard to find.

     

     

    My thoughts are with your family and friends, and I hope God gives me the grace to meet you in the next life.

     

     

    Sad sad news :((

  17. 16. Lol aye right. I said the Gordon should stop tinkering away from home in his last season was right

     

    I said that we should not be selling players when we were 5 points behind Huns in TM season to balance books. Was right

     

    I said we would go nowhere with Kelly whites and boycott to get changes. I was right

     

    I said Murphy bungera/ Kamera wee were all donkeys

     

    I said at beginning of last year we only had one goal scorer and should have a back up for hooper.

     

    Now we have none Right again

     

    I said that Neil would see none of vics money and we should not sell him as fans and team and Neil would lies out. Right again

     

    Everyone who has seen pukki play says he no very good and I say we should never have signed him. So far right

     

    Forster will be sold at end of season if we get 10m and Neil will get 20% for a replacement. Rest will go to pl bonus

     

     

    I was wrong about Kris commons. I admit it. He is by far our best most creative player

     

     

    Pps. How many goalscorers do we have ?

  18. 16 roads - Wee Oscar the Celtic warrior. on

    Gordon64 – Ha! Thanks mate.

     

     

    Peace be with you as well,and may ye back a few winners! :)

  19. Gordon you are as always only showing that your loyalty is to pl and the balance sheet and not Celtic the team. And will take no criticism for their policy’s. A very Hunnish trait
