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.

Priveledged to have shared this Blog with you, RIP
GG
Well spotted. :-)))
MWD
What about stopping whinging annoying know it all under 25s the vote. :-)
Moonbeams…
Ban all over 65’s…. No more BMCUWP, ACGR, TBB and TONY D….:(((
Rangers (1872) even. Anyway they’re no a real country.
And so the Brexit scenario goes on …

Oh my! Looks like Scotland and Northern Ireland may have a veto on #Brexit process – p 19 para 70

Aurora – I will personally never legitimise this manufactured failed statelet. That includes recognising or supporting any 6 county teams posing as ‘national’.
Mon Wales!
SIPSINI
What’s not to like :-]
MWD
Who would win in a fight between Gerry Armstrong and Robbie Savage?
MACANBHEATHA
Terrible news.
Rest in peace.

Ffs exactly the kind of dead wood we need to get rid of,can’t remember a player who has had the chances Forrest has had
My mum andd mother in law always ask my sons how to vote that serves their (sons) best interest. The realise the consequences for themselves are not as important as what it means for the young.
Macanbheatha
God rest you.
MWD
Am 67 and voted remain!
How dare you talk like that about people my age!
That’s the last time I’ll play golf with you or ask you to get me a cup final ticket, ya young bassa!
(Unless am desparate, of course)
Hope you good young man!
Gerry Armstrong is a knob
Explain how Robbie Savage can be a pundit and commentator at the Euros (20 minutes) (15 marks)
Bada Bing
Could have put the kettle on for that.
BSR
He’s sleeping with the guy in charge of sport at the Beeb.
This could be a wild guess.
Speaking as a 65 going on 66, I had a wee sneaking hope that the 6 Counties might do well. But their choosing of the GSTQ as their anthem sickens me. I always turn on the mute when that is played. Mon the Welsh.
By the way, I’m another who voted “Remain” and was as devastated as when we were beaten by the deid team by the result.
IF Forrest and others are making an impression on BR, it suggests they weren’t trying a leg under RD.
If that’s the case, hunt them.
Donald Trump thought Brexit was a breakfast cereal
Sipsini and moonbeams
Perra basturts,so yur.
I posted on these pages before training began we’d hear about all the players impressing BR – even the ones some supporters can’t stand the sight of.
MACANBHEATHA
Rest in peace.
Wales disappointingly 2nd best at present
BSR
Trump knows his breakfast cereal – he wears shredded wheat on his head
BSR
I like every player when they give their all.
I don’t believe that every player gave their all under Ronny.
HH
Norn Ire the better team so far, 2 very average teams though.
Must be so boring being one of those stewards that has to sit with their back to the game, so pointless missing all that football.
Dallas playing for Norn Iron.
Any relation?
Mon Wales!
Apologies to the Michaels, O’Neill and McGovern.
HH!!
TET
If there were as alleged players who never played for Ronny , they should be 1st out the door imho
Gene
You’ll have heard the one about…..’If Donald Trump gets in there’ll be hell Toupee?’
TET –
Doesn’t necessarily mean he wasn’t trying under Ronny. Football is littered with examples of players who struggled under one manager and were brilliant under another.
Bobby Petta?
In fact, half the Lisbon Lions played like donkeys before Jock Stein arrived.
Not a great fan of wee Jamesie, but I’ll go with Brendan’s assessment.
Lefty
Tis only rumours, but I know what I could see some games.
We will never know, but I would hope Brendan knows.

—————–
My memory is probably mush but apart from 30 mins did Petta ever really turn things around at Celtic or is it just a myth that’s grown since handing Ricksen a new one
The injury problems of JF should rule out any long term deal and if we are as is stated offering him 5 yrs we are yet again setting fire to £million notes, does anyone look at the playing record of these guys and learn that Boeriggter can happen again if you are not careful.
This game is poor, NI doubling up on Bale and squeezing Jo Allen, their two best players. The only way we will get JA is on loan, and his performances would suggest that Klopp would surely keep him?
Wales will win once the NI players lose shape and yellow cards take effect and JA and Bale get more space. Hopefully in extra time.
Auld Tam
Aye, you have a point, but I can only reiterate what I said to Lefty.
There was a divide in the dressing room last season, it was pretty obvious imo.
At the end of the day all I want is for us to be as good as we can be, the players playing for the jersey and the support.
HH
T.E.T
No, I think that’s evident especially now Ronny has gone.
James Forrest is unlikely to have received much outside interest IMHO – and a few will knuckle down and impress BR at Lennoxtown in bounce games.
Doesn’t make them good enough for Celtic. We have some amount of players to shift and it’ll not all be done in one window.
James Forrest’s play in the last two seasons, just isn’t good enough to merit the type of contract he obviously seeks, if he got a move to the Championship I don’t think Celtic would stand in his way, he was even discarded by RD, and I think it would free up space for a better contributor.

I agree but shoorly BMCUWP’s ole mhan CCB is allowed to vote?
BSR
I am surprised that he is being considered for a contract extension, but it could be paper talk to divide the support, they are quite adapt at that.
I agree, there are a few that are nowhere near Celtic standard, why they are at the club n the first place is beyond me, but they are, and as you say it will take time to shift them.
