We’re getting to that time of the transfer window when clubs with money and who are either underperforming, or who have silverware in sight, often make desperate decisions.
It is a remarkable statement of the times that three Celtic first team players have attracted interest from English Premier League clubs, at valuations that a year ago would appear eye-watering. It’s just as remarkable that we’ve not locked the suitors in a room until they emptied their wallets.
Seven months into the season, five credible Champions League performances and 27 peerless games in domestic football and our 34-year-old goalkeeper attracts a higher bid than would be achievable by any player at a Scottish club other than Celtic.
Not that I’m agreeing with all this ‘What we have we hold’ business. Every playing asset has a price, to borrow a regular CQN phrase from 2005.
I hear Peter Lawwell was spotted earlier buying tickets for tonight’s showing of T2 Trainspotting for himself, Brendan, Craig, Erik and Moussa. “Unreal” wage offers can turn a player’s head. Better get them to the movies with their phones switched off.

Jokes and wit now forbidden in Europe.
Brexit , mon brave.
I read the article… can’t find the reference to it being banned… I did find that the Lille board were embarrassed by a joke that would have looked dated in 1978 and offered free tickets to women to come to the football…

It really is the best of times.
Experience tells me that our current red hot streak cannot continue.
However , all the indicators suggest that we are on the way to becoming competitive in Europe.
The ONLY criterion , I would submit , that matters.
The Brendan factor.
P45 for big Mick at Ipswich i think
Tontine Tim,
I know Bill Heaney. We was a regular visitor to Ballina Mayo, where his friend John Cooney held the Humbert School. John’s son plays for Connaught. Bill was editor of the Catholic Observer many years ago and recently was special advisor to John McFaul when in office.
Thom
Aye, it’s a win win right enough.
I hope that the info that we need to spend or give it away to the tax man is correct, Brendan will spend it wisely :-)

Good or bad, depending on what side you are on, Soros is a scum bag imo, all he is bothered about is making money of the backs of the people who can least afford it, google him.
He funds rent a mob for starters.

Yes . I used the word ” banned ” in reference to political correctness .
Exaggeration.
Poetic licence.
:-)
” joke that would have looked dated in 1978 ”
Sezyou.
Affoot.
Having read that story about banners and I could be wrong but the way I read it the Lion Ladies captain wasn’t asking for the joke to be explained. Rather I read it that she was asking “women kitchen… really?”
Open to be corrected but don’t think she missed the point at all.
Macjay/Tontime Tim: Ballyconeely is an anglicisation of the Gaelic Baile Uí Chonghaile.
Conghaile was anglicised as both Connolly and Conneelly.
Owen
Agreed
And the club gesture was the right thing to do
But The Bernard Manning.Nigel LaFarge Donald Trump Locker Room Society dont accept that
” A front foot Klopp type of performance by Liverpool ”
Steven Gerrard
I hate Diego Costa
If he wants to go to China…..I will drive him there myself
Cost me a nice bet …Burnley,Swansea,Chelsea
BOO HOO
Clogher celt
Sorry for your loss.
Thoughts with you and the family.
Keep the faith

Maybe Macjay might fancy telling Dena to give up the football and concentrate on her domestic duties. It would be a brief but interesting conversation.
She does the matches, because she’s in Lurgan, while I do the meals in Cork.
Owen
Yep
But we need someone to drain the swamp of political correctness and take our country back….blah blah blah
Back from who/where and what are we going back to..
Take my muvver in law …
Tres Drole

Sorry to hear the news about your Uncle Rod.
Glad you were able to spend some time with him recently.
Thoughts and prayers for you, your family and Sister Rita, who sounds a bit special.
HH
Guys, I know exactly what she meant.
Just saw an open goal opportunity for a joke and couldn’t resist going for it.

I find that those who complain loudest about Political Correctness are confusing it with basic manners.

I find that those who complain loudest about Political Correctness are confusing it with basic manners.
…and they are first to complain if you call them Paddy, Jock or fatty…etc
Evening All.
Clogher – Sorry to hear about your uncle but he passed in a great place where everything possible will have been done for him. May he rest in peace.
Torontony – I have you x 3 on the Lisbon list.
Can I remind everyone about the signed Bitton shirt — anyone buying a ticket will be helping feed a school in the 1967 way.
Please support if you can.
Unique Nir Bitton signed shirt being raffled for charity – details here http://ln.is/www.ebid.net/uk/for-/E5Fgh … …
Cheers

Clogher Celt: Condolences on you loss. I will light a candle for his soul tomorrow RIP Rod.

Double standards only apply when you are having a dig at some one else.
Maybe President Trump might try shaking Mrs Windsor, nee Saxe Coburg Gotha, warmly by the lady parts to see if it is only bit of locker room banter and wonder how it is taken.
Sheff Wed- Hooper, Fletcher, Rhodes some wage bill for those 3
This is quite amazing, hours since a post about transfers in, well done to everyone at the club who made it this way, been some time since it was this good.
Right that’s me finished for the night.
Night all and Hail Hail.
Bada
And they still might no get promoted :-)

Brogan, Mark Cooper from the Argentina CSC has a tweet in etims twitter asking if anyone was at the intercontinental cup , I assume he means the games against Racing in Buens Airies and MontevIdeo .
I dont know if that would of interest to you. I’m sure you had posted previously your dad organised the trip to Argentina and you were there.
Apologies if I’m wrong.

Tontine Tim,
I know Bill Heaney. We was a regular visitor to Ballina Mayo, where his friend John Cooney held the Humbert School. John’s son plays for Connaught. Bill was editor of the Catholic Observer many years ago and recently was special advisor to John McFaul when in office.
*As I said earlier he was Mrs. TT’s neighbour growing up, he was also in my brother’s class in High School as was John McFaul, Stevie Murray and our current goalie coach’s da. Incidentally, the latter’s stepmother is Billy’s sister-in-law. The late Derbyshirebhoy who used tae write on here was there as well.
