Peter Lawwell told Sky Sports he’ll not be rushed into making an appointment. Football goes on holiday for the next few weeks as players, managers and (under normal circumstances) CEOs kick back before minds turn to preseason and transfers. Even if Celtic appoint a manager tomorrow, his plans for next season will progress little in the immediate future, but the task is being addressed with some urgency.
The best insight I can offer is that the bookies and media know Sweet Fanny Ally about what is going on. Know that when Celtic start to talk to a candidate, the first thing they will insist on is radio silence, so if the aspiring manager is talking to a jouno, chances are he’s not talking to Celtic. The club will attempt to do as much work below radar as possible, but between now and the day of an appointment, newspapers will splash their latest ‘favourite’ to get the job over their covers in an attempt to get you buy. You’d be better picking your own candidates and writing your own headlines.
I’m going to wallow a bit in European glory tonight. All those photos of the Lions back in Lisbon has been inspiring. What great man, what a great history they’ve given us.

Fascist V Communist ?
I can think of nobody who advocated true communism more than the big, gentle Galilean that so many of us pretend to follow.
If only…..

40s are a dawdle.
50s and 60s are when things start to break down
Frank Ryan – I am only interested in Celtic my friend.
Real Madrid supporters love Celtic.
The Real Madrid players wanted to play at Celtic Park, Celtic was the team they all wanted to play against, when asked.
Now what would happen if Celtic had to play Real Madrid in this season’s CL?
Their supporters, oblivious to this irrational hatred of their team, by a section of the Celtic support…their support would visit Paradise, expecting an incredible occasion, only to be met with open hostility.
Why?
Because of a Christy Moore song?
Because of Francisco Franco?
That is just wrong.
Franco supported Athletico by the way.

Was it Gandhi that said he would have been a Christian if it wasn’t for the Christians??
I would have been a Communists if it hadn’t been for the Communists.
Anyway,politics over,CL final on tv.
Kilbowie Kelt will vote YES
I don’t pretend to follow the big gentle Galilean, I do,
sometimes I fall of the pace,but he’ll understand.

I LOVE football.
……….it ‘completes’ me.

What a stupid decision to play Costa, got to wonder about coaches/managers sometimes
I hope Atletico regret that substitution later
Apologies for the political rants.
I don’t even vote, never have and never will.
Celtic is my reasoning.
Enjoy the football.

16 Roads – I make a point of never criticising fellow posters, and I won’t start now, but you really need to read The Spanish Holocaust by Paul Preston.
VP at 54 I’d already had a bypass and a transplant.

Cheers ma big buddy..luv ye.
If the ‘bored’ have denied NL and BJM funds requisite to making a fist of it in the CLQ rd’s then, I applaud them.
I find myself having to assume that, Neil bought all the duffers that canny dae it as, no-one is gonnae be holding up their hands to take responsibility – by the looks of it.
So, at the minute it looks like, Neil has brought in – Balde,Pukki,Derk,Bangura etc – that is a lot of dough pissed up against the wall. imho
Also, it took Neil 2 years to realise that Joe(the ghost) was fecking-up the midfield chemistry. Look at the midfield since JL left for Palace – Stephan J is night and day compared to JL. imho
Also, look at how Broony has started to look like the player that we hoped we’d signed from Hibs all those years ago. Young Henderson’s development looked like going – see/saw – what, with Neil keeping leaving him out the team, then bringing him in again? WTF?
Maybe what will tell here or, indeed, indicate exactly how good Neil is viewed as a manager by the amount of or, level of interest in his managerial talents.
Just a thought.
Enjoy the game tims.
Off oot.
If the Spanish were ever to bother to watch
what was a old firm game,they would probably
end up debating the highland clearances.

Hopefully it is both objective and impartial.

Thought you’d gone all Fascist on us there- not thought that of you my friend and still don’t. Think you are wrong about Franco’s Spain. I think the old rogue actually had no real interest in football but as Real were so good he foisted himself upon them as they were great and though their best player Argentinean ( before Puskas at any rate) they were obviously ‘Spanish’ in a way that Barca werent.
Take care mo chara

Aye but some people use horse urine.
You could call them a load of shivambu artists
16 Roads,
I think you made some valid points which,as a anti communist,anti fascist myself,made me think.It wasn’t as straight forward as some would have us believe.
I would hate to think Real fans arrived at CP expecting to experience a wonderful CL night only to be met with insults and hatred.That’s not our way but was the signature of a former club from another part of this city.
That tackle was callous.

That sounds fair enough to me chief.
To be honest I only like Real Madrid since after watching the Jimmy Johnstone video.
Sorry I didn’t get a wee yarn with ye the last time I saw you,the place was chaotic!
