Celtic Diary Monday May 28: Celts To Plunder Relegated Sides ?

Yesterday we mentioned an apparent interest in Stoke City midfielder Joe Allen, which can pretty much be discounted due to the transfer fee Stoke will demand, although the man who told me about Bojan wanting to come to Celtic hasn’t said anything about this, so it might be true.

Remember, we only repeat what we hear, and sometimes we get it wrong. Actually, we never get it right or wrong, the people who tell us do.

If we are looking at Stoke City, we could do worse than try to rescue Shaqiri from oblivion, but again, although Stoke aren’t by any means skint, they also want to recoup some of the money they have wasted over the last couple of years.

Another who is on the radar, if we actually have a radar, that is, is Swansea’s Jordan Ayew.. (from the 4th Official site

The director of football at Ghanaian club Berekum Chelsea, Nana Oduro Sarfo said, “Jordan has had offers from several clubs after Swansea City’s relegation last season. He will surely not play in the Championship with them. Liverpool have shown interest in him but Scottish side Celtic and their coach seem to be serious with their interest.” 

I believe he may go to Scotland looking at how events are unfolding since they want to meet every demand. They speak English just like in England so he can express himself well in there and meet the expectations in the league.” 

This story has been picked up by both the Daily Star and Talksport Radio, so its probably not worth spending any more time on, but the claims from the chap over in Ghana do lend it some weight.

An ex Celt who could be on the move again is the nomadic midfielder Liam Henderson.

According to the Daily Record, Italian side Parma, who have undergone a bit of a reboot, have offered around £1m for him, which is considerably more than Celtic sold him for.

Former Celtic midfielder Liam Henderson set for Serie A move as Parma eye £1m bid

The midfielder only moved to Bari in January but has impressed the fallen Italian giants and they want to sign him this summer. 

Parma are a new club, since the previous entity went under, and the Record beautifully skirted around that minor detail, just in case anyone drew comparisons with a club closer to home..

Parma have just secured an emotional return to Serie A – their first since the club was reformed as Parma 1913 when they were declared bankrupt three years ago. 

The point about this potential transfer , however, was made by David Wright, on This Is Futbol, where he seemed to blame Celtic for Scottish football being unable to sell itself..

It seems that Celtic, yet again, sold a player for a lot lower than he was actually worth. 

The last one, i think, was Kenny Dalglish, so its obviously an ongoing  concern.

Henderson was a title winner and a League Cup winner with Celtic and also won the Norwegian league title and cup with Rosenborg.

The left-footed midfielder was also part of the Hibernian team that won the Scottish Cup and given the fact that he has had such a decorated career at such a young age, the Bhoys really should have been demanding a higher fee for him.

Hopefully Rodgers had the sense to include some kind of sell-on clause in Henderson’s move to Bari, which will at least offer a big of consolation to what is basically missing out on a decent fee.

If Celtic had got £1million for Henderson in January, it would really have helped the club to strengthen their defence by boosting their wage budget.

The Bhoys need to stop selling players for lower than they worth, this is why Scottish football is not taken seriously. 

And here’s me thinking that the whiff of corruption surrounding the game was what was really putting people off.

Or the media’s lack of desire to talk the game  up.

Or the fact that there’s a club who are in liquidation that has been replaced by another which is somehow getting away with pretending its the same club.

But what do I know ?

I know that we shouldn’t pay any attention to the papers if we can help it.

A couple of days apart, and yet another story is debunked by the ones who broke it…( Record )

May 26…

Steven Gerrard ‘targets’ James Collins to solidify Rangers backline

May 27..

Collins not on Rangers radar

That is presumably the same radar that doesn’t register wealth.

There’s going to be a lot of speculation about Celtic bringing in players, and when it doesn’t happen, it will be another stone to throw at the club for our media, who can’t wait to bring us down to the same level as “rangers “, who won’t buy anyone of note.

We’re being linked with players we have no intention of buying, and we will read that the club couldn;t afford them, or tempt them north in a bid to level out the image of our club with another one over the river.

Celtic have already decided who they want to keep, and who they want to bring in.

The key to what Brendan Rodgers is trying to do at the club is continuity, and unless a top player  moves on, there will not be any surprise marquee signings.

On the other hand, when the newest Glasgow side fails in its attempts to bring players north during its Summer of Stars, it will be blamed on our league, the money available to our clubs and not the fact that the Ibrox club is a dead man walking  looking for somewhere to lie down and die.

At Celtic we have a group of players who seem to have bonded and who want to go on and do well together.

For instance, much was made of an apparent lollygagger-Moussa Dembele- playing up front for us who is merely biding his time until he gets a big move away..

And yet, look at this picture, taken as the pre match huddle broke up before the cup final..

He seems rather keen to me..

The truth is that we have a group of players who even after two trebles are still hungry for more, and its a group that isn’t going to be broken up any time soon.

One aspect of last season was the injury list. It seemed like everyone was taking a turn in the medical centre, although to be fair the decision to outsource nursing appointments may have been a factor..

Image result for sexy nurses

The management is now concerned about the level of injuries and is looking in depth as to what the underlying causes are.

In short, they believe its a little more than referees being a little lenient with opposition players kicking ours.

All will no doubt be revealed soon..

 

Ach, lets lighten up…soon be summer..

The Europa League starts for “rangers ” and Hibernian on or around the 12th of July, which is usually a kind of carnival day for supporters of the former.

They might need cheering up, as the list of opponents for their European day out this year is quite frightening for them..

 

For Celtic, our entrance will be against any of the teams on the right, unless its regionalised, which it usually is, which narrows it down.

For the draw of the 1st round the 34 teams are divided into 1 group of 10 teams and 2 groups of 12 teams.

The draw for the 2nd qualifying round is made before the results of the preliminary round and the 1st qualifying round are known. Clubs of the preliminary round and the 1st qualifying round are seeded by the highest ranking of the clubs involved.

It all has a sort of sameness about it, but there’s little doubt we’ll have put our emotions through the wringer again before the summer’s out.

 

For those of you asking about the dear wife and how she’s doing after her operation, i’d like to offer thanks. As you can see from the text below, she’s recovering some of her charm and good nature..

Yesterday, we showed you this..

I am sorry to see Sviatchenko leave. He could always be relied upon to give a solid ,hard-tackling performance whilst Dedryck and Jozo were busy preening or star-gazing. There are many occasions during the season when we could have done with a dedicated back-four defender instead of having to bring in make-shift out-of-position players to try and shore up our fragile defence. We’ve let the wrong one go! Cinders is out and the Ugly Sisters go to the Ball (There’s always a first time for everything!)

Bizarre article regarding Liam Henderson. What did we sell him for, £1/2m? That’s not bad for a player who was surplus to requirements. If the price has doubled then that’s due to his hard work and good luck to him.

I would’ve thought that Shaqiri would be miles out of our league and Ayew, not for me (did he score for Swansea?).

“Two-up is a traditional Australian gambling game, involving a designated “spinner” throwing two coins or pennies into the air. Players bet on whether the coins will fall with both heads (obverse) up, both tails (reverse) up, or with one coin a head and one a tail (known as “Ewan”)”

A convicted drug dealer and all round tosspot who was also in the BNP(pricks) The gammon’s claim he isn’t racist but if you look at some of his tweets from a few year back it’s clear what he is. I noticed that one of his pals from the EDL just got eighteen year for being a nonce, yet he runs about calling Muslims nonces creating all sorts of tension. England’s fucked by all that division, don’t fancy living there.

Still flogging that old dead horse.

Mousa has been very good since his return from injury and regaining match fitness with excellent performances at Tynecastle and Semi-Final and Final.

Everytime you try and flog this “he’s disinterested” schtick you’re completely undermined by the facts showing the exact opposite.

You remind me of someone who despite all the facts showing Deila was a diddy still tries to promote him as some kind of football visionary.

For the last couple of months he’s been great and anyone who can’t see that hasn’t got their eyes open.

He’s probably not here for the long run, whatever that is, but why the indecent haste to get rid, when he’s given no indication he wants out?

How will we improve, especially Europe, if we can’t wait to get rid of our top players after a year or 2?

He’s been excellent in the past couple of months when he’s been match fit and regained his sharpness.

I’m sure that’s what Brendan and the backroom bhoys will focus on.

Clearly he’s the number 1 striker for them and Griff is a good backup for domestic games but nothing more and reverting to him would be hitting a fast reverse.

Yes it is and Brendan clearly thinks so.

Dembele is much sought after but can’t say I’ve seen any interest in Griff apart from Hibs.

He’s the type of player, with reinforcements, that can take us forward in Europe, which Griff, even in the unlikely event that Brendan plays him, cannot.

An Gorta mo’r. The great Hunger, (hunger, mass starvation, disease, emigration), Part One.
There is no songs left, no tunes to hear, the only sound that you hear is the despairing wail for the dead and the dying. 24 known failures of the potato crop. The crop failures began in 1841 and for the next few years the potato crop failures became the norm.
They should have been alarmed, because Ireland was the poorest Country in Europe. A new potato blight was also reported on the Isle of Wight. It is thought to have started in Belgium and began its long and tragic journey through England before it finally reached the Irish shores. The potato was full of a corruption disease that turned it into mush.
The British Government’s reaction to it was totally inadequate, borne in part of the governments “habitual policy” of discounting Irish views, to them.. the Irish people were seen as “lazy and inferior” they were to be disregarded and ignored. There were of course calls to the British cabinet to “prohibit” the exports of foodstuffs from Ireland and to make the distillation of grain spirits illegal, so to make additional foodstuffs available if the potato crops failed. But as the British Prime Minister, Robert Peel who (detested the Irish people and was detested by them in return) Peel wrote “there was no confidence in these measures”, Peel instead suggested “that Britain should repeal the corn laws”, which protected British home grown grain and that might allow the importation of foodstuffs into Ireland. But repeal of the corn laws as Peel well knew was an anathema to British politician.

As I foretold some time ago – the taxman cometh. When tax is due, tax is due and Her Majesty’s Tax Collector is now coming after the EBT recipients. That is exactly normal. Slowly but surely the various myths and pish are unraveling. EBT was illegal. By their own admission it gained them an unfair advantage on the park ( Alex McLeish EBT recipient and now somehow Scotland manager ). The scrutiny over the license is becoming intense and it will be a matter of time before Celtic or the rest of the teams demand titles to be vacated. I think King will get the Cold Shoulder and that will make the New Club even more toxic than today. It’s heading into oblivion folks – jelly and ice cream on ice.

As I’m er, over 40 I’ve noticed my recollection of things is on the wean, er, sorry, wane. Hence, I may have to copy and paste some things; all of them things, which are not my view.
So, as a starter,:
“The key to what Brendan Rodgers is trying to do at the club is continuity, and unless a top player moves on, there will not be any surprise marquee signings.”
Who wrote that for Lawwell? That bastard Lawwell.
WELL FUCK ME.
So, if we can’t punt Dumb and Dumber, the guaranteed loss of a huge game like Liverpool’s keeper cost them, will be ‘down to some strategy’? Don’t talk shite.
Dumb&Dumber plus Missing Marven, if not sold must be released; a loss of course but that should ccome out of fat Pete’s fat bonus…..
Fuck this…….LAWWELL OUT, ad infinitum. The stinking cunt has conned us all for far too long, GHTF, PRONTO.

Regardless of anything else, we ABSOLUTELY FUCKING REQUIRE a reliable centre-back pairing, tripling.
We don’t have it and wont have it when you’ve got Boyata, Simunovic, Comperr at the CLUB. THEY ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY.
Fuck this, I’ve had enough. We played shite all year, except for Sheep away (3-0), Hertz at home (4-1?) Anderlecht away (3-0) and some minor club who’s name is untrustworthy, just ike its bastard parent.

CELTIC, sell or just dump the poor players we have; save the waste of wages and bring in someone, CRUCIALLY for defence; someone(s) to help us through the 4 qualifiers and hence paying for themselves in spades….
I need to pee….Lawwell needs to fucking think, outside of his internal fucking abacus by numbers.
And don’t have ANY form of CELTIC kit (Real or replica) unless our crest is in its natural GREEN and WHITE.

Leaving aside the obvious anger issues how exactly do you you “dump” a contracted player. At the risk of being rude the text reads like something from one of their websites. Sorry!!!

You’ve picked at certain points whilst ignoring others.
Okay, that’s not uncommon here or anywhere else.
However, the standard of play this year, especially in defence, burns into yer psyche and begs questions; that’s what I was trying to point out. It’s NO SECRET that a bean-counter like Lawwell will do as they do but WHY would you ‘loan’ Erik and keep D&D? I’m not 100% clear on what can, or cannot be done, under conytract but it seems to me the players we deem as surplus can be loaned or punted. Is that enough for you?
I’ve supported Celtic my whole life; ther have always been ‘vague’ occurrences but they need to be explained in detail to the supporters. Lawwell ignores us as bough-and-paid-for consumables. I DO NOT FUCKING SEE IT THAT WAY! Got it?
Don’t throw shite at me, Maryhill; I may lack clarity but my feelings and intent are 2nd to none.

I’ve only just read Erik’s letter and can easily admit I’ve tears streaming down my face……this is what it means to be CELTIC, said by a nice guy, A Dane who’s now a TIM. And he was punted whilst keeping Dumb and Dumber and then wasting money on Comperr? WTF is that about? Oh yeah. More Lawwellism!
LAWWELL, you cunt, how about changing your name and position to Loyal, loyal to the Celtic cause.
Oh, and BTW, you’re now on around £2 million a year in total remuneration, is that correct?
Do you still hang onto you’re fucking capitalist filth that the lower-paid workers in the “Celtic Family” you love to sell are not worth the living wage?
For the avoidance of doubt: in my view you’re just another piece of capitalist shite in the same vein as DC King, but a wee bit more clever. I truly hope both of your days are numbered. Come On You Bhoys In GREEN.

As you do like to sneak your oar in, I do hope that when YOU go ‘off the deep end’, you can paddle like fuck……ish!
You’ve always been ‘ready’ to cover Lawwell, BB, maybe you need to look ‘deeper’?

No sneaking TT. I thought your post was mostly a rant and hence the off the deep end comment. Lawell is the CEO of Celtic and he is imperfect and at the same time the club is doing very well on the field and off the field. While I get the Chairman Mao stuff and the aspiration for a socialist paradise at this point in time the world the way it is, is what we have to work with. I look very deeply I can assure you and for the record I can swim very well and paddle pretty well too. let me be very clear – Lawell is imperfect and at the same time we are having a purple patch as they say!

Good answer, BB, and I think it was a ‘considered’ answer. (Did PL scan and allow it?) Anyway, it allows for my preferred state of understanding and tolerance for our fellow Tims.
Peter Thomas Lawwell does NOT come into that category. He’s a thief of OPM, just like DCK!!
I wish you no harm (nor indeed anyone else on here.)
Anyway, due to other circumstances, in a word Microsoft, I actually have bigger fish to fry.
I wish you only good and hope that your World View will gradually re-position, as a perfect dawn breaks, and that you get to my level of understanding about the ‘other scum’ who run and control this little shit-hole of a planet.

Perhaps my view of the world is just fine. It’s different from yours and just as valid. If you think Lawell is the enemy, then youre fighting an odd war. There are plenty of real enemies around.

BB, yer not really a bad sort, only misguided.
A Lawwellist, and a tory. Both bad choices.

If you check your own grammar and punctuation you’ll see it’s a hurried response; that of someone with grave doubts about their own perspective. I wish you well, regardless.
Effective armies are not formed on the sands of deception and mis-trust; they are formed with ONE uniform cause and belief, and, up to and including the offer of one’s own death. Those values are what make the ‘weaker’ strong and the ‘strong’ weak and will be cherished for the duration of time, and valued equally.
HH Celtic FC and fuck off you tory scum (this is NOT aimed directly at BB) from our Irish/Scottish/Socialist roots. TAL
Come On You Bhoys In GREEN.
They’re (imperialist, tory scum) hanging men an’ wimmin’ for the wearing of the GREEN.

You are at the same time a good judge of character and a poor one. Again I have never and never would vote Tory. I am pretty much a decent sort. You got that right and little else. I keep an open mind. I have strong Irish roots. I am first generation Scottish family is from Donegal and from a small mining town that is now SNP and used to be Labour. Your misguided assumption that I am a Tory is about as far wide of the mark that you could be. The rest of stuff on armies etc, you lost me and not because I’m intellectually unable to understand but more because you don’t make much sense to me even if you found it on the internet.

Ralph, my sincere apologies.
My 1st and foremost comment should have been to offer my Very Best Wishes to yourself and your wife (and them wee dogs). It’s all too easy to go through life taking each other for granted. Without detail, my wife was taken ill, suddenly and seriously, about 4 years ago. Suffice to say that my wife recovered well and I hope that your wife does too.
A memory of those days was me making a complete cunt of doing a ‘washing’: I’d always felt that ‘them white marks’ on my dark clothing were avoidable. Anyway, I read the instruction book, chucked in a pile of washing as advised and then adedd a judicious dollop of washing-up liquid.
Hmmm. Sorted. Smug as fuck. Piece-a-pish.
Off to visit “ma wee diamond” again. Things are lookin’ good. I can get her gear ready as she’s coming home on Thursday. Just brilliant.
An’ then I got hame. The conservatory/utility room where the washing machine was…..gone! Just fuckin’ bubbles.
They were already occupying some of the kitchen too……
An’ some wonder why I occasionally go OTT?
Ralphy, if yer anythin’ like me, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO A WASHING. That is wimmin’s work, and believe me, I know why.
Tell yer wee diamond this story, I bet she’ll understand, and even laugh out loud?
All the Very Best to you and yours, Vinnie.

Monti, it’s just that SOME are better at ***it than others!
***it has many meanings, says Confucious…I tend to agree.
Hail! Hail! the washing’s here,
It will soon be ironic.
For it’s a steam-blown term, tae go tae jail for,
And the colours they are fast,
We support the washing,
As ma granny did from first to l-aa-aa-aast,
We don’t care what the launderettes say,
Darn the hair we care? – (WTF diz that mean?)
For we only know,
That there’s going to be a show,
And the washing it will just be ‘*rare’

*rare = glasgow-speak for wonderful/terrific/fabulous, and, like all Glasgow-isms, it’s accurate too.
Now where is that fucking Microsoft file…..?

How to handle a.. wummin,
“There’s a way said a wise auld man”
“A way known by ev’ry wummin,
“Since the whole rigmarol began”
“Do I flatter her?” I begged him answer,
“Do I threaten or cojole or plead”?
“Do I brood or play the gay romancer”? HA HA
Said he smiling “No Indeed,
How to handle a wummin?
Mark me well, I will tell you Sir,
The way to handle a wummin,
Is to love her..simply love her..
Merely love her.. love her.. love her.
And pass on ALL our good wishes.
