Write your own headlines as Celtic work below radar

1442

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.

    Don’t agree ‘re Keane. Apart from him on ITV, it’s the bland leading the bland. Keane – and sometimes, amazingly, Souness – are the only pundits on British TV to say anything in the least insightful.

  2. the long wait is over on

    Fritz song

     

     

    By and large agree but Gary Neville has his moments too.

     

     

    Overall the best , however , is WGS.

  3. “They’ll be dancing in the streets of Duntocher tonight!”

     

     

     

    ( as they do most nights in that bhoysterous wee village)

  4. Kevtic,

     

     

    As I got to the time capsule. i spied two uniformed band members, all in black up ahead, windae soon ready to give them a zombies shout, got up close and they were actually rfb’s,

     

     

    Its coat brig , what am a like.

    Cheers, league decider Tuesday half six up colqhon park.

     

     

    Antonine v Clydebank.

     

     

    This derby o n TV is nothing compared to the big one.

  5. Hi Ghuys

     

     

    To anyone not supporting Athletico tonight all i,ll say is ;

     

     

    Are you for Real

     

     

    Hehe

    Fair do’s – I accept Roy Keane brings something different to the table, and wouldn’t fancy anyone else’s chances in a square go with the Irish scrapper.

    Atletico should sign Lee Naylor for crossing precision classes

    The worst media pundit by far is Craig Paterson. He simply repeats what he’s seen. I could do that.

  9. Apropos to nothing else than I like watchin’ fiba’ oh and my 51st birthday is tomorrow and I’m actually enjoying the underdog handle a team of “superars” whose wages could buy all of the Scottish premier league teams!

     

    Anyway glass in hand and hand on my heart (extremely difficult btw) Here’s to the Lisbon Lions, there’ll NEVER be a team to beat their achievement.

     

    Proud to be a Tim!

  10. the long wait is over on

    Awe naw

     

     

    He’d never leave Accrington Stanley for that job , surely…

    I was there 40 years ago. They were disgusting. I should grow up and want them to win as underdogs. But I think we are all allowed some irrational dislikes and mine remain Atletico and Rapid Vienna.

     

     

    And I don’t think of Atletico as being underdogs in the way that the drivelling idiots on Sky’s coverage suggest. They have won 4 European trophies, play in a 60000 capacity stadium and have won many other trophies within Spain.

     

     

    I have been to Madrid quite a few times and there are as many people there who support Real. The true underdogs of football in Madrid – and the club of the working class- is Rayo Vallecano

     

     

    And it’s kind of rubbish tonight

  12. Not a great match but Atletico proving to be best team in Europe this season.

     

     

    Having finished ahead of Barcelona and Real in best league I football and beginning to boss this game they would be worthy European Champions,

  13. Bournesouprecipe

     

    You are right.

     

    I didn’t harbor it for 40 years.

     

    It was suppressed until today and the memories and disappointment come flooding back.

     

    YouTube and Google have a lot to answer for as they allow me to dredge up a load of horrible memories I thought were buried forever.

     

    Anfield 66, Kai Johansen, Jimmy Smith and many more

  14. Bankiebhoy,

     

     

    Antoine had their own brigade there today, I would guess about seventy it so giving it the full GB playlist, taps off an awe, all that was missing was a drum.

     

     

    On the doonside they let of some flares.

     

     

    The after match soiree was in the lucky break , nice reception.

    Meanwhile in Poland my niece has just finished 8th in the world junior championships of Modern Pentatlon and was part of the GB team who won the team gold. Not bad for a wee lass from Galloway. Worth a wee celebratory tipple tonight.

  16. Bamboo I can tell you now for sure that Portglenone is not really well known as a holiday destination

     

    Sorry to disapppoint

    RM need to take off Ronaldo and bring on Bobby Lennox if they want to win this.

    Came within a minute of winning this tournament 40 years ago only to lose out to a last minute equaliser against Bayern. Gooood.

    I am with those that despise Atletico Rapid Vienna, and the huns and I love Roy,Keanes volatility. Sorry ;-)

     

     

    Yes its irrational only because there has been no revenge. Keano would know what I am on about ;-)

  23. PS,

     

     

    The best pundit by a mile is door wee Gordon,

     

     

    And Craig Paterson just repeats everything.

  24. the long wait is over on

    Real definitely beginning to turn the screw here. If atletico fall back at all RM will score.

     

     

    Atletico have got to be brave enough to push out.

  25. valentinesday on

    Craigellachie10….a big well done to your

     

    niece, you must be very proud.
