You want some good news? Around £1m of Tottenham’s money for Victor Wanyama will find its way to Celtic, which will offset some of the economic impact of this morning’s news. This aside, there is only bad news. If we want to buy footballers priced in euros (or anything other than GPB) they will cost more money. We will also have to pay higher wages to be competitive with European clubs.
Goods will cost more – it will start today with fuel and travel, then food, electrical goods and everything else. Wages will buy less (not just less-able footballers). Borrowing repayments will be higher. Business expenditure, wages and employment will drop, so will the tax take – and money available for welfare spend. The poor always pay the highest penalty.
If you are rich enough and without a mortgage you can indulge in flag waving all day, happy in a delusion that self-determination even remotely exists in modern economies. Or that more self-determination over here, and a little less over there, is a panacea. It’s not, it’s just another economic crisis coming your way soon.
The entire political class have failed us. Calling a flag waving referendum was a grubby attempt to hold onto power by the prime minister; this mess is his making. Whoever succeeds him will have to successfully pander to the same party membership in order to get elected.
Jeremy Corbyn’s mealie-mouthed campaigning was an embarrassment. His “7 out of 10” backing for remain did what it was supposed to do: convince people he was going through the motions for something he didn’t believe in.
Who’s ever heard of a leader winning support for an issue he is prepared to back 7 out of 10 himself? He should go, but political ego will ensure he’ll hang around to make sure Johnson wins the next general election.
It took six days for the Greek government to abandon their own disastrous EU referendum mandate. Instead of attempting a rescue, all our political ‘leaders’ will give us is more populist power grabs. It’s already underway.

Long time since you were called Mr Z. Remember?

It will be a very special hootenanny if Polska win the European Championship. :-)
I love the wee cabbage and Milik. Robert is about to wake up against Swiss.
Forza Polska!
Saddened to read of the passing of Macanbheatha. When I first joined cqn we uswd to parley often.
Rest in peace big man.
Imagine if Ronny was still in charge and his signings this summer!

Five, six years ago I said on CQN that Poland was growing football market. We made step forward since then. Forza Polska.

Thanks,I’m well.Hope you are well too.
DD, snap, what row?
I like a steak pie roon aboot hl time BTW.
Delaneys Dunky,
It is a wide open Euros, Poland will have a very good chance of winning it. I’d love to see a new Winner. It is unlikely to be the ROI, as I don’t think they have the quality, I hope I am wrong.
Poland do have some real World class quality and are in the, alledgedly, easier side of the route to the Final.
tis a sad night with the passing of a Gentleman.
Brendan got KT locked down for 5 years, he didn’t have to when the boy has stated he had no desire to Leave. He will, I’m sure, be getting paid a lot better. Brilliant that he is being rewarded after his Heroic (Celtic Supporter first and foremost) performances last Season, a really difficult Season as well.
My Heart was Broken :)) Hat’s the way…..
Lenny will make the Hibees the 2nd best team in Scotland, I have no doubts at all.
Row S seat Lucky 13.
I prefer a blaw at half time.
Free da weed! :)
No politics from me tonight I burnt oot ma case last night with a right good laugh on the all nighter euro bus.
Looking forward to the Brendan bus getting underway. Great news on young KT committing himself to the club long term. Hopefully this is a statement of hands off from Celtic in respect of our development of a real home grown Scottish talent.
I really hope its more a personal thing from young Kieran. Born to play for the hoops. Lucky, lucky bhoy, a star in the making for our club.
P.S. Awe Naw, if you’re looking in, sorry for my incessant ranting last night. I just got aff the wrong side of my donkey.

I feel very sad that our perfect host and friend Sean has passed. Macanbheatha will be glad that he is in a much better place than this developing hell on earth.
Cuddle and guide young A.
Peace and Love
DD, I know we have a standing section but do we now have a staunner section in 405?

Oops, I think I may have picked two 4th choice gems there if that’s not too confusing. Alcohol may or may not have been taken shortly before that previous post was made and may or may not have been a determining factor in the error that was made.
