It all starts for real next week but, unlike most previous Celtic managers who finds significant interest in his star player, Neil Lennon is pretty chilled when talking about the player moving on. I want to keep Victor, he reminds me of a young Keane (Roy), Neil will want to keep him too, but you have to wonder, what the manager would do with some cash to spend.
Only just catching up with CQN and the UK media, is anyone still interested in the big ball game? Delighted to hear the man from Dunblane got his just rewards. The excellent BBC documentary on him two weeks ago touched on issues you and me and not qualified to touch on here, but there is a great humanity story wrapped up in his achievement.
Our paucity of sporting genetic raw material is apparently untrue. From a (temporary) distance it’s evident he has branded the Scots better than any grappling politician ever could.

Cavani to PSG would appear to be a done deal.
‘L’Equipe’ are saying that it will be announced officially tomorrow.
Allegedly!

Bellamy talks about tevez abit in book
Said its well known that he isnt the greatest trainer in the world but he never saw anyone give as much in everygame as tevez does and sometimes it would take him day or 2 to fully recover from games.

Its good to have the football back. Has anyone had the “pleasure” of watching our games thus far? Its as well that we’re all now schooled to the its all about fitness theme or there might be some wailing and gnashing of teeth. There was no doubt both sides played were ahead in their fitness levels but there were some pleasing points not least the performances of Liam Henderson Calum Waters and Darnell Fisher . Henderson particularly has all the poise and grace that distinguishes quality players from others. Very promising and lets hope that’s not the kiss of death for his prospects.Virgil clearly is going to be a good buy whilst Amido looks as though it will take time. Steven Moyokoulu I like and do hope he gets an injury free break with us.
Onwards to Greuther Furth and more preparation for our first CL game a prospect so many others can only dream of.

We’ll have to agree to disagree re Tobias Jones . I think he is good on the absurd contradictions and the Kafkaesque complexities .
I have a friend from Siracusa who hightailed it to Brixton 7 years ago.. He tells me he suffers from homesickness [ especially in the summer ] He says that one of the ways he deals with the homesickness is to dig out his copy of The Dark Heart of Italy and relive the delights of La Sistema..
Work done . Very hot . Covered in itchy as hell mosquito bites . Time for a dip for me and 4 dogs . I will have a granita . The dogs won’t ..
Enjoy Lake Garda ——-lovely.

I feel sorry for the fella,truth be told.
He has been hung out to dry….
In a village in Co. Derry, the local brethren built a massive 12th Bonfire beneath an overhead power line.
In a swift response, the council removed the power line.
Power to the peepil.

Ive liked the look of van Dijk, not noticed Moyokoulu much, concerned at another season of tinkering with centre half partnerships and trying to fit players into the team.
We seemed to be technically inferior to both teams and severely lacked creativity mainly in the middle of the park, I’ll be honest it was hard to watch some games last season, these friendlies very hard to keep interest in. Is big Amido Balde a further move towards goals from Stoke-like hit and hope crosses, free kicks and crosses?
Will still tune in tonight though.

Is there anyone on the site who can truthfully say that they are not totally and absolutely confident we will win the League for the next 2 years.
————
I am that man.
I suffer from memories of leagues blown in the past, when 10 points ahead with 8 games to go. If any of the other teams could put together a winning run, minus a sevco team, then it could get interesting.
And I am serious, complacency is our enemy.

I know I’ve mentioned this before,but at Love Street in 90/91,the most obnoxious eejit,wi a totally embarrassed wee lad stuck on his shoulder,plonked himself right beside me,my Dad,and my kid sis.
And let rip,a hunner times worse than even I could manage wi Oliver Tebily a few years later.
Non-stop it was,and we decided to move at half-time,as I couldnae deck the …. because of the wee lad.
We were rescued when some kind stranger fought his way over,said to the fella-“here,pal. We’ve a’ had a whiproon’,here’s a tenner tae GTF”
Followed swiftly by “now,I’m keeping it but you had better GTF anyway!”
Magic….

How many different variations in selling are there of Mr Westwood’s Christian name?
More transfer rumours from Italia.
Barca have, allegedly, offered Chelsea €34 million for ‘Sideshow Bob’!
Some mistake shirley?!

Prediction for the season ahead…
Celts to win the domestic Treble.
Celts to reach the CL group stage and – exit in 3rd place to fall into the Europa League where Celts will reach the Semi-Final Stage.
Hail Hail – Off oot.

Edinson Cavani to sign for PSG .
It certainly looks that way [ but I’ll wait and see ] Napoli rumor mongers are claiming there is a problem re image rights . It’s claimed that PSG want 50% and he wants 100 %
I love the thought of Cavani and Pastore in the same team . Hope it happens . Would love to go and see it.. Mrs S of T likes Parigi , so it shouldn’t be a problem .
Caldo ! Va fuori .! Buona giornata.

It won’t
He will be elsewhere next season.
A good/bad example of the type of player PF AYR referred to this morning.
“Thanks for the contract,now eff off and don’t annoy me”
Harry Kewell springs to mind.
And Viduka.

I’ve got into a few verbal spats up in 408 since the North Stand opened, but never anything that would force me to move from there. Although, I have considered a voluntary relocation, but then you don’t know who you’ll end up sitting next to!
I might upset them….!

Think the point bellamy is making is that mo matter the game tevez will run through a brick wall for you and run himself into the ground.
Therefor he will be sore from kicks from oppenents and that means he wont train aswel as the rest of the players for a day or 2.
Theres alot of players who didnt train well for one reason or another but come weeked they gave me than orhers.
Estadio Nacional 11.27
All I’ve seen of Amido is the friendlies and what’s on You Tube. The You Tube footage for me suggested more to his game than headers but so far I’d be concerned at the number of times we seem to be taking an aerial route to find him. What was noticeable was that there never seemed to be anyone around him if he was able to flick it on. It will all take time I suppose for the plan to emerge.
I agree about midfield creativity. Kris isn’t in the groove as yet and for the moment I have no idea if Tom Rogic can provide some.
I do worry about the Hooper situation as I wonder where the goals will come from if someone does ultimately submit a bid that we can’t ignore. Suppose we have to trust that somewhere there is a list that can be plugged into if that proves the case.
I agree with those who have commented that the League is simply a means to an end and its perhaps not surprising that league performances reflect that. It does tend to put pressure on fan’s interests and loyalties though and I only wish that the end were another playing environment on a regular basis. The thought of a return to “Old Firm” rivalry as something to look forward to is certainly not for me.
I hope young Rogic stamps his authority on the midfield this year as I like what I see from him.
A more mobile Joe Ledley with goals in him.
I like Ledley too but for different reasons, Rogic will get forward more and has the legs to get up and down the park.
All down to how our coach develops him now.

One of the better aspects of watchin’ the ole tennis is the mutual respect the players clearly have for each other; they are good buddies off the court but on the court they’re trying as hard as they can to win.

Good points, I tend to agree.
A big season for Rogic and the manager who has to find more creativity in the team.

It was a bit wet here last night.
All calm now but more in the forecast but very warm as well even at 7 in the morning it is 23 degrees.

Expecting big things from Tom Rogic next season – hope Neil gives him game time.
Athletic and skillful.
Also expecting, and hoping, for Tony Watt to do the same.
Like the look of Virgil as well – give him time ‘tho. More so for Amido.
No pressure then!
HH!!
Crazy weather last night 130mm of rain. Roof leaking like our old sieve defense. Up most of the night bailing water.
