The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[tyroneStatto]

watched the southampton game the other night. young caddis did well when he came on and looks a good prospect. celtic are spoilt for choice at right back yet really only have naylor at left back.

Ticket secured for Flag day on August 10th, right on halfway line to complement the cheap easyjet flight I booked when the fixtures were announced

Tony, are ye putting Celtic ahead of your beloved Armagh?

[T Fearon]

Yes, well spotted. There is a potential clash on August 10th, between Flag day and the AI Football Quarter Final which may or may not involve Armagh. However the ideal scenario will be that Armagh will qualify for the quarter final and that this will be played on Saturday August 9th.

Failing that I will be in Glasgow on August 10 whatever. I have seen Armagh in plenty of AI Quarter Finals before but I have never been at Celtic Park on flag day

What with Armagh's recent record in AI Quarter finals I wouldn't blame ye for headin to Glasgow!

Celtic v Middlesborough in the Algarve cup, about to kick-off live on Setanta sports one.

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

First half just ended, poor enough game so far.
McGeady outstanding as usual, Brown in nets has made a couple of saves, Scott Brown very quiet and disappointed with Samaras and Skippy up front, Samaras wasted a couple of decent chances.

I see Mossie Gravesen and Derek Riordan are playing against Donegal Celtic in Belfast tonight and presumably in Newry on Saturday as well. Will be worth going along to see these two and catch a glimpse of the legendary Daniel Fergus Mc Grain on the sideline

Deek Riordan scores the only goal, as Celtic XI beat Donegal Celtic one nil in West Belfast tonight.

Here's an interesting one, The Belfast Newsletter (aka the Orange Rag) yesterday carried a letter from a named correspondent who was defending Healy's sectarian act last Saturday. The writer stated and I quote, more or less,that Healy was responding to a section of the Celtic support "who were chanting pro IRA slogans, like they do at every game". As this didn't happen, would there be a case for Celtic FC or a representative supporters group to sue either this paper or the particular correspondent for libel?

[scud]

For Libel I think he would have had to name a specific individual, you cant really libel a group as far as I'm aware

[nifan]

Tony if you where able to sue gobshites for this having this sort of letter published then youd be a very poor man by now.

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Tony there already is a thread dedicated to this keep Healy talk to it please, unless he's signing for us! God forbid!

Rosemary Burns, wife of the late Tommy (RIP), is to unfurl the league flag next Sunday week (August 10th). Going to be a little emotional but highly appropriate that this lady is performing this fnction. I've got myself  a great seat right on the halyway line.


PS Any recommended Glasgow bars (outside Govan) where I can watch the Armagh AI Qtr Final after the game?

"The writer stated and I quote, more or less,that..........."     Tony yer a deadly man.  Is it a quote or not ?
