MM.

Grandiose delusions.

I happened to pop in here as a break from "trolling" the McCann's thread and saw your post and couldn't resist.

Given that 6 of Real Madrid's 10 European Cup wins were prior to '67, I was pointing out that Celtic have a European stature that most clubs don't have. Rangers come to mind. Anyway, who said it has to be a well known manager? Whoever it is, he'll be well known to himself!

Yes - a European club like VS Lichtenstein or Grasshoppers Malta - a tiny foreign club no one gives a shit about.

I'd say winning one Eurpean trophy and reaching the final of 3 other competitions and being the first Scottish team to get out of the Group Stages of the CL and not forgetting being a balls hair width away from the final in 92/93 when Marseille pipped us (cheats?) is a decent showing.


How is Celtic's away record in the Champions League these days? 1 win in 25 or somehting like that.

only saying what we're all thinking Michael - years ago Celtic may have been relevant in a debate about euro-footy but these days they're an asterisk; a "did you know?"; a once-upon-a-time story for the dwindling band of 'fans' who still give a toss about scottish footy. No one cares.
Is anyone else inolved on a World Cup prediction thingy at work? Our inolves predicting the final standings of each group, the 8 quarter finalists, semi finalists, finalists and the winners. Easy you might think. Anyone got any thoughts on potential dark horses? I quite fancy Belgium and Uruguay, not to win it but to go to semi maybe?

Possibly - but last night wouldn't rankle if it weren't for the tantalising glimpse of what COULD be in the 2nd half v Ecuador. Last night was the same old malaise, as though concentration and confidence disappear when some players play for England; replaced by a nervy, jittery, sloppy perma-panic that thrashes wildly without getting anywhere.


I agree they have to start with the (relatively) nerveless new caps; Barkely, Lambert, Ox-C, Sterling, Lallana etc. who will make mistakes but don't seem to let that throw them or sap their desire to try it again. If they do their stuff then the leaky back isn't such a terrible problem - we'll just score more than them! ...though that could just be the Iron in me talking:)

It will be alright on the night SJ ?


Well it depends on what you think the purpose is of these matches.


Keep possession but move the ball quickly seems to be the message.


My problem with this England team and every other England team in the Gerrard Lampard era is it can't win the ball in midfield and neither can it retain possession in midfield against good teams.


Hence England only pick up new possession when the opposition move breaks down! That means the opposition dictate when they are ready to give the ball up. Hence if England go behind against good opposition they are buggered.


Far too many forward thinking midfield players and even now add Johnson as a forward thinking defensive player who will be exploited.


None of these players are any good when you don't have the ball and I expect England to spend a long time without the ball.


Same old sane old.


You can pass the ball around all you like in deep positions, the opposition won't care.


I hope I'm wrong, it might be different this time. England needs a new hero to pop up over the next few weeks. I don't think it will be Rooney, Gerrard or Lampard. Good luck.

Agree with Maxxi.


Barkley, Lallana, Lambert etc should start.


Fresh, young, exciting players who feel so honoured to represent their country for the first time, they will give their all.


Rather than relying on the older, experienced players who no longer have anything to prove, gave their all once, but no longer give enough.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
