If you’ve been here for a while you’ll have noticed I don’t pay much attention to preseason friendlies but tomorrow’s game against Wolfsburg takes on a more serious tone after Tuesday’s reversal – Celtic desperately need to find sharpness.
Despite the well-placed confidence that we’ll cope comfortably at Celtic Park on Wednesday against Lincoln Red Imps, the serious challenges will come thick and fast thereafter.
Players need to find their edge and the manager needs to learn who goes where and works with whom. It’s just about possible for us to get things together, but whoever we pull out of the hat in today’s provisional third qualifying round draw will be delighted to catch a team in apparent flux.
All this brings us back to Wolfsburg’ a much needed test.

Zbysek – sovietism that you endured was wrong. Pure communism? Acts of the Apostles?
Peter – I miss old philvis and my fun lunch hours (and often afternoons!) getting tore in to one another! I bet he’s still on under another name!!!! If maybe parenthood really did curtail his Tory Bhoy postings. Apart from his right wing claptrap he was as witty as they come!!!
Seriously lads, bed time for this bhoy
Merkel’s erstwhile open door policy to migrants is best understood when one realises that Germany is forecast to have 2/3 million shortage of workers by 2030.
She was merely acting with typical German efficiency to maintain their strong manufacturing economy, unfortunately all sorts of other considerations seem to have got in the way – but they will, as always, find a solution that is best for them.
Communism failed because we are all basically greedy.
God Bless EVERY CQNer

Clunks, it is not for me to decide if it’s heaven or hell. Clearly it is both, depending on where u were born. Both of us are in the lucky column as we are conversing through electronic means, have food to eat and a roof over our heads. Do u feel lucky?
_______________________
Yes mate I am hugely lucky.
I was lucky enough to be born in an affluent (geographically speaking in that I dont have to survive on a dollar a week) country.
Even though I was born in an affluent country my father chose to work in oil, just before it boomed. Just before the miners strike.
Whilst all my friends families struggled we lived well.
I was born with a decent level of school intelligence.
I was born with a decent level of social intelligence.
I was born with a decent level of looks!!! (woop woop!!)
I am still alive when many of my school friends are not.
I have children, they are healthy, happy and intelligent (this is my proudest, proudest, proudest achievement in my life.)
Yes, I am lucky.
And I appreciate it.
And after I wrote that down and thought about it,
Yes, I am lucky.
Wits
What’s the point?

When all beside a vigil keep,
The West’s asleep, the West’s asleep
Alas! and well may Erin weep
When Connacht lies in slumber deep.
There lake and plain smile fair and free,
‘Mid rocks their guardian chivalry.
Sing, Oh! let man learn liberty
From crashing wind and lashing sea.
That chainless wave and lovely land
Freedom and nationhood demand;
Be sure the great God never planned
For slumb’ring slaves a home so grand.
And long a brave and haughty race
Honoured and sentinelled the place.
Sing, Oh! not even their sons’ disgrace
Can quite destroy their glory’s trace.
For often, in O’Connor’s van,
To triumph dashed each Connacht clan,
And fleet as deer the Normans ran
Through Curlew’s Pass and Ardrahan;
And later times saw deeds as brave,
And glory guards Clanricarde’s grave,
Sing, Oh! they died their land to save
At Aughrim’s slopes and Shannon ‘s wave.
And if, when all a vigil keep,
The West’s asleep! the West’s asleep!
Alas! and well may Erin weep
That Connaught lies in slumber deep.
But, hark! a voice like thunder spake,
The West’s awake! the West’s awake!
Sing, Oh! Hurrah! let England quake,
We’ll watch till death for Erin ‘s sake!

===================================================
Oh, yes.
It was in Germany`s national interest .
Why , then does she think ( insist ) that the load should be shared ?
Her fault . Somebody else`s solution.
As I said at the time, she is responsible for the break up of the E.C.
U.K. is the first domino.
Incidentally , Mr. Putin will be smiling.

I`m an immigrant.
Sharia is the enemy.
JimmyQuinnsBits,
Great stuff.

Have no Fear, God will get the West’s attention again – if not we are definitely @ the End.

Oh hurrah let england quake
That song used to send shivers down my spine as a child,
Imagine living in a refugee camp somewhere and having some witch doctor telling you that its all because of Blair and Bush and them evil western degenerates and how Allah needs volunteers to even up the score
And Oh hurrah let england quake…..
Empire building…..it comes at a cost

Clunks, I’m glad for u. And I’m glad ur a Celtic supporter, and u know our roots from the poor Irish brother walfred sought to help. And created this wonderful club in a country hell bent on keeping our heads in the mud.
We had nothing, only a desire to survive, and we did, because we had to. It took a man of wisdom to lead us to the pinnacle. It won’t happen again, but we did something that will never be achieved again. So be proud, win lose or draw. H H.

Be Bold Brendan.

Turkeybhoy,
I grew up in a scheme that didn’t teach PC… so take yer eggs… I’m not yer middle class twat.
Eh,sorry,you asked me a question civilly and I answered civilly.Now you come on trying to abuse me.You might not be a “Middle class twat”.You are just a Twat.
I grew up in a scheme,you dont get medals for that.
—————————————–
Man, you’re a prickly wee fecker aren’t you…. you’re prior post was about PC, mines refuted that… and I’m a twat?
I could tell ya to ram it up yer self-obsessed hypocritical ignorant arse but, as I said before, there are no brave men on a blog – I include myself in that. You need to be face to face
If I can’t learn from you it’s not worth conversing

Well, I can’t say I have any Muslim Friends, although it depends how you define it.
As you say with, Fundamentalism, now if you want to know what it means, you can look it up in the dictionary, my point I guess is this; fundamentalist Capitalists are allowed to carry out their credo with impunity, many Christian, Jewish and Political Fundamentalists, likewise (although these I accept sometimes with a degree of suspicion).
Yet the MSM would like us to equate Islamic Fundamentalism with Terrorism.
MACJAY1 @ 12:53 AM,
Luckily for Muslim Fundamentalists, you don’t get to define who they are. They are allowed to practice their beliefs in this Country even if you would like to label them all evil.

Macjay, Petec, WITS,
I swear, the three of the brothers, in a pub in linlithgow….stilled it. One of many episodes.
And Packy Lavin – from Roscommon and Achill stock – winding it up in the background
They don’t make characters any more
Is there something wrong with getting on in life, I’m from a scheme, I’m not middle class, not into labels, make a few quid, wire in.
Barney
You are grand….but you dont need me to tell you that
MACJAY@1:08
I was not defending Merkel, merely pointing out her motivation.
You may be right in saying that she could be held resposible for the break-up of the EU and that the the UK is indeed the first ‘domino’ – to be honest, after the Greek fiasco, I am not sure that Germans hearts and minds are really with the EU anymore.
Of course Putin will be ‘rubbing his hands’ at the prospect of EU fragmentation, as he looks to recover lost Soviet territory for a increasingly confident and bullish Russia – a divided Europe and a more inward-facing US, may be all the encouragement he needs.
Europe is moving into a time of great uncertainty – I can just about keep up with the short-term moves – what will happen in the longer term is impossible to predict.
Got to get Beauty Sleep.

It is very hard not to have a Nibble at yer Horses. I’ve just said NO.
I hope they All come in First.
Petec, What is the Stars, Macjay et al….. thanks to all posting great tunes. HH
Fractious has the blog become…
Can’t get to sleep as I have a swollen napper.
Never had gallstones but this is similar.
Calcium build-up results in stones that block my saliva glands.
Saliva nowhere to go… so neck is getting bigger and bigger…if it doesn’t pass- the stone that is- then i’ll need a surgeon’s scalpel.
Available for bookings if the swelling doesn’t go down :-)
MACJAY1 FOR NEIL LENNON on 16TH JULY 2016 1:08 AM
Only way for Germany to survive is immigrants. As you said population shortage en masse.
HoW that sounds painful ma man. R u in hospital or home?
Foxy
We are all immigrants
Any football teams founded by immigrants that we could support ??
Foxy – do you know that there is approx 6 million Turks in Germany! More than our pop.
