Aye, sure, Dick Advocaat would like to sign Virgil van Dijk for Sunderland. Of course he would, but Virgil is very unlikely to go to Sunderland for a host of reasons. Many clubs have made inquiries about Virgil but the player has an understanding with the club.
For a start, he’s going nowhere until after the Champions League qualifiers are over with, and even then, player and club have agreed that only approaches from tier-one clubs will be considered. No disrespect intended for Sunderland, but a haul of one cup in 79 years leaves them well off the pace.
The prospect of Celtic being interested in Steven Fletcher, as reported in The Herald this morning, is unlikely to make any difference. If Fletcher is wanted it will be for the qualifiers, there will be no quid pro quo.
Virgil has two years left on his contract and there’s little prospect of him extending his stay in Scotland, so if Celtic decide to listen to offers in late August it’ll do no harm having as many English clubs as possible bidding portions of their TV bounty for the player. So let Sunderland bid away.
You and I have been working on the whole Mary’s Meals project for a couple of years now. It’s not a big part of any of our lives, but what we’ve done is a big part in the lives of thousands of kids we’ll never know.
Reaching the 1 million kids fed each day figure last month has reinvigorated the charity. It’s a worldwide phenomenon but incredibly started here in Scotland.
At midnight tonight a couple of guys will start to walk the West Highland Way, 96 miles, a 17 thousand feet ascent. They hope to complete the journey within 24 hours.
You and I know that not every journey is completed on time, some, sadly, will never be completed……… but these two are close to hitting their £6k target figure for Mary’s Meals before they set off. Go and give them a a couple of pounds, help drive them on to complete the task. Every £1 you give will feed a child for a month. A month! Tell me you’re going to do something better today and I’ll not believe you.

Did Labour ever apologise for ending POW status in Ireland in 1976 which ultimately led to the deaths of 10 men on hunger strike?

It is marvelous to watch them make the same mistake time and time again.
The citrusfest tomorrow only encourages them in the same deluded and self destructive mindset.
They swagger and we snigger.

Just Wondered How Much The Labour Glasgow City Council Were Paid by The oo for their rental of George Sq…Hope it was Enough….
Can only remember Derek riordan
It was the best of the lot
Ah yes naka hit the bar
Did the Russian guy that went to spurs miss?

My father always wanted it to be the hottest, sunniest day anyone could ask for when they marched,
He said the reason for him wanting this was because they couldn’t take there uniforms of when on marching duties, so nature would then take it course,
But i suppose a wee wash tomorrow wouldn’t do them any harm,,
Jobo beat me to the punch
Just a wee note for the one eyed politicos.
I am sure that I read in The Herald at a cafe this lunchtime that the Licensing committee which approved the go ahead for tomorrow’s erm Cultural celebrations consisted of 3 Labour councillors, 3 SNP ones and an unaptly named Green councillor.
But don’t let that get in the way of your one eyed selection of targets.
P.S. Well done to all those decent posters who called out Mr. Pastry – he’s making himself as popular as that Alfie Noakes guy.
Now, maybe we could see some of the Yes/SNP side calling out their regular charmless goaders
A good friend told me that it’s not who is in your family that matters but who you bring in to it that matters.
Some people like to cause chaos wherever they go and in doing so they create a vortex that sucks all the rest of us in. Before you know it you are arguing over irrelevant nonsense that makes for good circles in their vortex.
Have an effective Vortex Alert System and don’t ignore it when it goes off.

I abhor the Orangies and all they represent, however something pisses the hell out of me.
More than 29,000 people have signed the petition opposing the gathering in George Sq tomorrow, I’ve signed it too. However, we’re at risk of curtailing free speech, regardless of how objectionable and vile we find it.
Despite this only around 7,500 people have signed a petition which actively promotes the rights of individuals to freely express their beliefs.
It truly is a strange old world.
Leigh coming on to join Charlie, Scott and wee James.
Correction, Scott going off.
Cowiebhoy.
Thank you.
Lennon ‘s Passion.
I remembered the heid scoring and Naka missing, after that I was clueless. So I you tubed it. I won’t spill the beans. I forget how tense the whole thing was. Magic memories.
Cowie, Its settled down, It seems more my foot than my ankle is sore. Hopefully that’s a good thing.
H.T.
Agreed. That’s the point I was trying to make in work. 29000 against 7500, also in a much shorter space of time. As I say though, I believe a big part of the Celtic support don’t understand the offensive behaviour bill. Others read the tabloid press and believe it’s all the green brigades fault. Ignorance is winning the day at present.
SFTB…Last post Sounds like a Death Rattle..
Laughing..As i said Prevs…Anyone who ends their post with SNP bad… .well, Is weak…But Keep on Keeping On..Coz me…aw…i Find it Funny…YES YES and…You guessed it…YES…

Top bhoy
Evening All,
Happy Friday, two days and no work.
Watching the Scotland game, exciting isn’t it?
Very impressed with young James tonight

Hope you don’t mind me butting in both petitions are completely different (I agree with both strongly) the offensive behaviour is unjust but
Just noticed that our Craig is in goal. Must have missed the half time substitution.
Jobo Baldie
Yes and no…playing well but the opposition are Championship level with more technique. I was impressed with the guy Forsyth at left back. I had a good look and thought that Mulgrew would look every bit as good and at times he looks well short of the quality we need.
jimmynotpaul
But the orangefest/orange walks affect tens of thousands of people in the country and not just football fans, apologies for split post and I am delighted both are being highlighted and in a personal front over the moon that the bigot petition is being highlighted (even though I don’t foresee much changing)
Ginger
That Russian guy you are talking about was Pavluchenko. He scored in the game. Two from Spartak who did not score penalties were Titov and Kalinichenko.
Jobo, probably the most amount of players we have had in a Scotland team since the world cup qualifier against Czechoslavkia in 1973 when we had five players I think in the team Hunter, McGrain, Hay, Connelly and Dalglish if my memory serves me well.
I meant, Boruc saved from Titov and Kalinichenko. Both Spartak legends.
JNP
The Herald’s article, before it was amended, was a perfect example.
Tomorrow will be third annual GB anti discrimination football tournament, it will have been planned, organised and arranged long before the No Popery Party in George Sq. Unfortunately, the Herald decided to portray a worthwhile and progressive event as a spiteful, reactionary one.
The more things change…….
Just read Hull City want £30m for Andrew Robertson, with Arsenal and Chelsea showing interest
Wow
Ok ghuys time for cot. the old healing process takes care of itself. Mine is working perfectly. Nytol to all Timland. KTF.
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
Zbyszek
Thanks for that had an idea but didn’t want to spell it wrong
Remember having a fiver on McDonald to score and the hoops to win 2-1!
Gerryfaethebrig.
I delighted you’re joining in. The points you make are valid.
What I can’t understand is the Celtic fans who have signed the orangefest petition but won’t sign FAC. As I say, my opinion is that it’s ignorance but I know a few who lurk on here who haven’t signed, maybe they will log in and explain their rationale.
