Not sure I see either as a nailed on first starter but certainly both will be valuable additions to squad. Saying that, with Starfelt not up to speed yet, if Jenz were to come straight in and impress alongside CCV, who knows, could hold the slot. So looks like end of the line for big CJ now with Jens being brought in, might be best to loan out Lawel, preferably to a top 6 SPL side. And with a midfielder coming into squad, may see the back of McCarthy. Big game tonight for a Celtic legend in Poland, hope all goes well for big Arthur, he totally got what Celtic were all about.

And just to add, sausage rolls from Tinnies are really good, available for 100B, large and tasty.

I like to have a pie day once a week. I have tried most places around town, found many to be disgusting, only the following 3 do it for me. Tinnies in Jomtiem is really good, quality pies available for 150B, I normally get a meat one for takeaway and cook chips etc in my air fryer. I had one delivered from RHT, (with the beans) was a really nice meal, steak pie, a tad pricy at 389B, not sure how much it is at the RHT. Pastry was crispy. The one with the mushy peas is the minced beef from Witherspoons Monday special, 199B. Again, really good and awesome value.

Looking forward to the Blackburn game at weekend, on at a decent time too. Yes, some cracking goals indeed as we continue our pre season. The squad is in a good place, we have quality options in most positions. Maybe a defensive midfielder to rotate with CMcG and also a CH. Also good to see that Soro and that Brick Boli gone, neither had a future at Celtic, so best for all parties. Soros discipline let him down and Boli was just toxic. Still leaves a few to get shot of-Ajeti, McCarthy, would be my top 2 picks to be moved on and it looks increasingly likely that big CJ is not going to cut it, so best to move him on.

Still my favorite Indian in and around Pattaya is Curry Home, next to Cheap Charlies. I mostly get take away's-they deliver free. Décor is poor but for me, the best I have tried, and I reckon I have tried most.

First friendly of the season last night, knocked 7 past some Austrian 3rd division mob. Encouraging to see the likes of Vata and Lawal involved, both are proper prospects. Also, big CJ started, not quiet sure whats going on with him but guess Ange will want to see him get game time either way. Would be great to have him back, otherwise we will need to bring in another Center Half.

Last week, had the Monday special at Rock Factory, open air music bar near Tree Town. Was a decent feed for 199B, pork was really tender and plentiful. Only drawback was the SML, which was over priced at 95B.

More outstanding news, Jota on a long term deal. Also, landed Siegrist on a free, now we have a proper back up keeper, was totally bricking it last season , thinking if anything were to happen JH. And a new LB, dont know anything about him but got be better than Taylor, who contributed so little in an attacking sense. All in all, a great window so far. Squad looks well strong and am sure Ange has a few more in his sights As ever, the big challenge is to offload the high earners who seem to have little future under Ange, likes of Boli, Ajeti, McCarthy, big CJ.

Brilliant news that CCV has been landed. Suspect that the prospect of him playing CL football swung the deal. Just need Jota on board now and its just some fine tuning of the squad. Harry Kewell added to coaching staff, at least its an Ange appointment. He has a poor management record but he wont be coming to manage. Its a set piece coach we desperately need to bring in.

Great to see that Maeda has signed on permanently, really like him. Just need to get the other 2 loanees now.

RIP Mr Salty

One of our worse performances of the season, well outplayed, over run in midfield and still could have stolen it, CCV cracked a shot off the bar when we were 1 up. I dont recall their keeper making a save all game, our goal was a lucky deflection. Too many of our players did not turn up, and by 60min, we were out on our butts, looked like we were the ones that went to extra time Thursday night, despite having a week on the training ground. A big wake up call, league is in our own hands but we need to tune in pronto. We lost the game because we were second best but my God, how poor was the Ref??

Impressive performance on Saturday, full house, sun shining, slamming 7 past a hopeless St J, with 6 different scorers-all Ange signings. With practically a full strength squad to pick from, guess we saw the benefits of a whole week on the training pitch. Again, looking at the bench, so many quality options right now. Only negative being an injury to big GG, who took a difficult chance well to score our second. And finally, it looks to me that Ange has figured how to dismantle a team that comes to park the bus. Next up is a Sunday trip to HQ for cup semi final.

Both ears popped when flight came into land. One ear unpopped immediately but, one week on, the other ear still not unpopped. Is there any drops I can date? Or does anyone have a technique?

Reading these posts, it seems to me that all these retards with loud pipes, its just a "look at me" stunt. Sad or what?

Massive 3pts yesterday, started awful, all over the shop, JJ gets done way too easy and bang, 1-0 down. But showed great character to respond, great run by Cal and eventually, Tam pokes home. Then before HT, great work by Starfelt and CCV slots home. Second half delayed for glass collection, we defend brilliantly and Dada has 2 glorious chances but fluffs his lines-that second one he should have berried but hits straight down keepers throat. Some excellent subs thrown on by Ange and works a treat, Bitton and AR impressed. Everyone played their part, Hatate was off it, looked jaded, be good to rest him up a bit next game, like I said before, we now have quality options available. Next up St J at home, am sure Ange will have the group focused, no screaming into a camera lens from him, way too shrewd for that type of pathetic nonsense.

Well the Dingwall hammer throwers came to town, had one animal red carded, after Ref just gave him the green light to hack away, he should have been carded much earlier. Hopefully, no major damage to Tam. 3 points, another clean sheet, a decent performance, our front 3 on fire. We seem to have stumbled on an effective front 3, GG looks clumsy and awkward, poor touch and hold up but just what we need in the box to get on the end of the many crosses that we deliver. Bagged another hat trick, so well done big man. Also seems to have that aggressive streak, not getting bullied. All his goals are one touch, never going to skin a few players and burry the ball. Looks a proper penalty box striker. One player I have been really impressed with recently is Maeda. He did hit a few poor crosses but everything else is so positive, great reaction to bag a few goals recently but its his work rate, engine, attitude, etc. that really impress me. So encouraging to have DT back and must say, we now have quality options from bench-DT, MO'R, Ralston, Dada all champing at the bit, and Forrest and Gogo still to return. We will need all to contribute in the run in.

Got by a tricky cup tie, actually showed character to grind out an ugly win on a horrible night weather wise. 3 scrappy goals, and a clean sheet. Hatate lucky not to see red-gets worse every time its replayed. But, my god, some of our passing and decision making was shocking. Surprised to see Tam and Ralston in the subs-both nailed on starters for me, not sure why Jota and Dada not included, did hear Ange say Jota had a slight knock, hopefully back at weekend. Not a fan of Tam and MOR playing together. In the end, just glad to get through to Semi final. Next up a visit from the Dingwall lads.

After a run of poor performances, finally put in a decent game on a historically difficult venue for us. A great early save by JH bailed us out, then we get a fortunate penalty but Cal misses, how many penalty's has he missed for Celtic? Eventually we go one up, they strike the bar from a set piece, then an OG before a fine effort from the Forrest see us coasting-for a minute. A simple long throw not delt with and they get one back. Was great to see Ralston back, he should start every game, another assist-think that's 8 this season. Starfelt has come onto a game, Forrest getting there at an important time of the season, Turnbull should be back soon, so things looking on the up. We looked better with Bitton in that DM role, allowing Cal to operate further forward. Right now, our best midfield combo.

Not an easy watch last night, a makeshift starting 11 totally overrun in first half, JH saving our embarrassment with a few fine stops. We actually played well for the the first 25 min of the second half, due to CMcG and Dada being introduced. Tam and MOR do not work together against decent opposition, Ange should have learned that from first leg. Hard to pick anyone out for praise, most were rank but in fairness, it was a team just thrown together. Anyway, glad Ange picked a weakened side, we now can concentrate on the SPL, starting with strongest 11 available starting 11 against Hibs Sunday. With no European games, should see us playing Saturdays from now on. Hearing Turnbull is not far away, good news.

Not sure how you guys feel about tonight's game but I am all for just fielding a weakened side, Hibs on Sunday way more important for me. That 3rd goal last week was the killer, they are such a solid and well drilled side, I just cannot see us turning it around even at full strength. So rest the big guns for Sunday. We are a work in progress, Europe can be put on the back burner for now. Way too much at stake on Sunday. Last thing we need is all our first pick boys going full tilt in a dead rubber on plastic pitch.

Now that's a setback, HN was my favorite app.

Hi Folks I am considering getting a credit card with SCB. One of their requirements is to have a sum of money, in a fixed account, as a sort of guarantee. Ideally, I would like to put the 800K that I use for my retirement visa, into the fixed account. And leave it as the guarantee for the CC. I should be able to then get letter every year, showing 800K untouched. Will this satisfy Immigration requirements?

get well soon M8

Another function for ticker. Done our best to chuck away points but got over the line eventually. Concede from a set piece, then we go 2 - 1 up at HT. Another set piece shambles see it back to 2-2 for the final half hour of nerve jangling, before a cross from the excellent Ralston is bundled over the line by the hard working GG. Our defending is really suspect recently-4 goals conceded from set pieces in last 2 SPL games is just criminal. 5 goals in last 2 games. MOR was poor and Ange took his time to hook him. But it paid off when he sent on Bitton, moving CMcG further forward. I suspect GG got MOM but Ralston for me. That's 7 assists for him in SPL so fat this season-and 4 goals, too good to leave out of the team, even if it means shoe horning JJ to the LB. Been banging the drum for big CJ to get a run, with us conceding from set pieces, regularly into double figures every game for corner kicks that we offer little or no threat, I want to see him back on the park, after all, he is a 7M quid asset.
