It’s all getting a bit frantic ahead of Celtic’s visit to the last chance saloon to secure European football until Christmas.
You’ll note that Celtic and “rangers ” are both at exactly the same stage in the Europa League, but for one its a cash bonanza and top level football, but for the other its a disaster which means everyone is for sake and the managers leaving.
I suppose it is an achievement for a cash strapped but plucky six year old entity with a rookie manager and an owner that spends more time in the courtroom than he does at his club, but otherwise its indicative of who the nations favourite team are.
With one of the establishment sides players being injured on the artificial surface at Rugby Park, the players union have come forward to condemn plastic pitches, in exactly the same way they didn’t do when it happened to Celts…
This time, as its an Ibrox player hurt, we get abject horror that footballers are subjected to this medieval torture and calls for it to be banned…
But we knew that would happen, right ?
The team itself might not be back, but the attitude surrounding it from the establishment certainly is, especially as they have now gone one hundred games without defeat or something, and UEFA are under pressure to chuck someone out of the Champions League group stages to give them an automatic place, as Europe needs a strong “rangers “.
We should have buried them when they died.
Instead, they’re trying to force their way back into society..
Then again, they are the people, albeit the sort of people you wouldn’t have round for dinner, and as such, they have certain rights. Or they think they do, and finally, one of them has explained exactly what they mean by “We Are The People ” .
This from Follow Follow, a title which explains why so many venture capitalists have made a fortune from them…
• We are the people that are indigenous to the UK, we belong here
• We are the people that don’t expect you to become one of us, but welcome you with open arms.
• We are the people who change as we are proud of our history and culture
• We are the people that will never accept the breakup of our lands or the handover of those lands to foreign governments
• We are the people that respect and admire our royal heritage and wish to maintain it
• We are the people that appreciate and are grateful to our armed forces for their service to our nation and it’s people
• We are the people that will never forget our fallen and all of them whenever we can
• We are the people that respect traditional British values
• We are the people that remain dignified in victory and defeat
• We are the people that remain faithful to our ideology no matter how unpopular it makes us
• We are the people of the Rangers family, for most of us it was never a choice – it’s genetic – but for those of us that chose to be part of our family you’re a member of the most loyal family on the planet
• We are the people that fly the colours of the union flag, sing songs of the union and celebrate and defend the integrity of that flag whenever challenged
So now you know why we are the people.
Jeffrey Bruma: “Very nice that I can now rule out heart problems”
Of course it’s up to the trainer or to play, but I’m just fit,” says Bruma to ELF Voetbal.
“I have received the green light from the medical staff, and naturally I have a slightly bigger
heart than many people: a sport heart, which allows me to function normally, and the fact that
I fainted during the training had more to do with too little food. that day also traveled, or
perhaps a virus, fortunately the doctors did not find anything crazy, it turned out to be
innocent. ”
“It’s nice that I can now rule out heart problems, to know that there is nothing serious about it
, you’ve heard enough stories about boys with heart problems in recent years, sometimes with very
bad consequences. ready to play matches, there are very important weeks coming and I want to
help the team stay in the Bundesliga, we have to give the gas in the coming weeks “,
They didn’t establish what it was, from reading this, and if it was £7m of my money being used to bring him to Celtic, I’d be a little more than concerned.
After reading that, the full article is here..Bruma , then Scott McKenna looks a much better use of funds.
A few million quid and Ryan Christie moving north should seal the deal.
We could pretend to be interested in Shay Logan as well, which would be hilarious when we tell him he’s failed a medical due to his brain not being fully connected to his mouth.
We’ll be seeing a few players leave Celtic Park over the last two weeks of the window, and there will be one or two arriving.
Lets hope that the changes freshen things up a bit, and lift the nervous edge that seems to be around the club.
Rod Stewart, who was sold on Celtic when he met Jock Stein, who in turn was concerned about the footwear the singer was wearing, has written to Talkshite Radio, asking them to leave off his beloved hoops..
Its all very polite, but unfortunately gives the show, one of many piss poor productions in the name of entertainment on the Sky owned channel, a little bit of publicity and even perhaps gives them another opportunity to talk about Celtic.
With English football having priced real fans out of the game, there is little or no passion at matches, and this has now spread to the listening and viewing audience, so Talkshite, having wound a few Celts up in the past, have reverted to type.
They know we are passionate about our club, and know they will get a response every time they run us down.
Rods letter is admirable, it shows that he, like us, cares about what people say about Celtic.
My own would be somewhat different…perhaps rod would like to add it to his next letter, should the need arise..
Dear Talkshite Radio..
Signed ,
Me.
Anyway, Oleksandr Zinchenko…Diego Luiz…Peter is browsing the Manchester city “not in the Champions League squad ” list, and we believe he’s been ringing around Manchester vehicle hire firms looking for a seven seater…known in these parts as a tarrier carrier…well, on match days at least.
As long as someone stops Lee Congerton from coming up with any more daft ideas about centre halves we’ll be fine.
Back in December and January the diary expressed doubts about Marvin Comperr, based purely on information that was readily available and seemingly ignored by everyone at Celtic.
Lets not make the same mistake again.
This is, in fact, the fifth transfer window under the present management and scouting team. If they cannot find a decent, healthy and affordable centre half then maybe we should look for someone who can.
I’ll offer my thoughts, as its unfair to criticise without offering an alternative.
Christopher Jullien . Toulouse. He’ll cost about the same as Edouard, but he’ll make a much bigger difference to our side.
Right, I’ve done my bit.
Now its up to the club.
