Cocky Dutch

1147

I’m older than Virgil van Dijk and I’ve seen more football scenarios than he has, so in this respect it is forgivable for him to be talking about Celtic going through the entire league programme undefeated, but Virgil was in the Celtic team who lost at home to Morton less than two months ago, so he really should know the only place to do your talking is on the football field.

Celtic have a rather important game on Tuesday, which the manager will quite rightly be preparing for, making tomorrow’s game against Aberdeen an open race.  If Virgil’s (reported) mind-set is shared by many in the dressing room the 7/1 odds against Aberdeen look generous.

Better all-round if we knock any ‘undefeated all season’ talk on the head.  It’s fine fare for fans but not for players.

Feeling gutted for the five Celtic fans who failed to get justice in Amsterdam yesterday.  The rest of us can busy ourselves campaigning on their behalf but verdict will be a blow to the five and their families.

Have you heard the ‘Tommy Burns – single’, in aid of the Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust?  Available on iTunes, 99p.  Wire in.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the current edition of CQN Magazine, not that I want to divert you away, but…  The Football Pink magazine is well worth a read.  We don’t get to read about Hugo Meisl and the Winderteam enough.  Hugo’s in the current issue, along with an excellent article on The history of Irish centre backs, the player loan system, and an article on Gunter Netzer, the midfield general who brought West German football into the modern era.

Columba Club, Blantyre, tonight, 8pm, me, Phil, Paul, Lourdes Fund, Q&A, general revelry.  Tickets on the door.

    Experience may tell us to expect lies to be told about our behaviour.

     

     

    Even on here.

     

     

    Example,the Brentford game this summer,and the Norwich one the summer before.

     

     

    Also our match against Lincoln the year before that.

     

     

    Too much of a pattern for my liking.

    And that should be their Only Defence..

     

     

    No Celtic fan before has been Attacked in this Way..

    There’s more of a residue of goodwill between our supporters and the supporters of most EPL clubs than there is between us and any Scottish club.

     

     

    In an ideal world if we got into the EPL without being shackled to sevco all the bigotry and sectarian baggage could be left at the border.

  4. Absolutely priceless:

     

    SEVCO fans confirming they are the dumbest people in the world.

     

    A truly awesome advertisement for independence.

     

    Why are they so stupid?

     

    Queenie brings in £20 million in tourism but takes £36 million out.

     

    That’s SEVCO economics for you.

     

    Sad, sickening and stupid, it sums them up.

     

    WARNING BAD LANGUAGE FROM THE START.

    Since yer on,fancy meeting up in The Emerald early New Year for a Celtic game?

     

     

    It will have to be a Saturday,though. And I think the Crooked House may have to wait if I’m going up by train.

     

     

    Throw that open to anyone else who can manage along to Wolverhampton.

    Who is this repetitive poster whom you almost confused me with?

    Nice of you to welcome me back after a coupla days enforced absence-had to blinkin’ work for a change!-by awarding me my customary reverse podium.

     

     

    Grateful thanks.

  9. Dontbrattbakkinanger on

    Very disappointed at verdict in Amsterdam but not surprised.

     

     

    I am more confident the bhoys will win their appeal.

  10. thomthethim for Oscar OK on

    Whatever action is planned in support of the boys in Amsterdam, I hope it is done in conjunction and in collaboration with the club.

     

     

    Any independent action would be virtually ignored by the relevant bodies, I fear.

    Give up the bevvy?

     

     

    Ffs,kill me now…..

     

     

    No,mate. But the only way I will manage the Crooked House is if I’m driving.

     

     

    No way I’m driving to a day in The Emerald. Maybe take in a few in The Dubliner in Brum on the way back too. Old times sake,etc.

     

     

    Then I’ve got a change of train at Cheltenham. Pub right next to the station,and a good wee Chinese too.

     

     

    Well,sounds like I’m up for this!

    By private arrangement with the proprieter,I’m not allowed to say!

     

     

    Goes back to a comment on the day of the golf outing. Cryptic,I know. Sorry!

  13. Paul67,

     

     

    Not read what you have read but Big Virgil is Top Class.

     

     

    Looking at things logically, Celtic should Win every game, domestically at least.

     

     

    I love the fact Celtic are losing points, domestically, whilst threatening the ELITE of European Fitba with the proverbial WAN HAND behind the back.

     

     

    The Murray scourge has to be highlighted to ALL. FTSFA

     

     

    Murray is the desecrator of the Damned, A Ringleader of the Tormented.

    001:

     

     

    Celtic fans have been attacked, on several occasions, worse than what happened in Amsterdam.

     

     

    ..

     

     

    What..???? by ME (Snatch squads)..Mounted Police..Opposing Fans (Multiple Countries)..iPhone (Multiple)..CCTV..Scottish Media..

     

     

    I think if we had the Media Evidence of the ‘Attacks’ you mention it would be ..’Similar’..

     

     

    Actually l blame the ‘Internet’ for the Violence..

     

     

    Summa

     

     

    Summa

  15. Paul67:

     

     

    Perchance, would you know if the club – are at all interested – in defending their supporters without fear or favour, and to the hilt, like a brother would for a brother?

  16. Tuesday’s opponents ——

     

     

    Just watched Allegri’s Friday Press Conference .

     

     

    Man looks real stressed .

     

     

    He trotted out his regular litany re injuries, loss of form , loss of belief , loss of self confidence ..

     

     

    Asked a question re the team being jeered by the support , he said this-

     

     

    ” if we play badly, it’s their right to boo ”

     

     

    It looks likely that their starting line up v Genoa will be —–

     

     

    Abbiati

     

    Abate/ Bonera / Mexes / Emanuelson

     

    Poli / De Jong /Muntari

     

    Robinho /Kaka / Balotelli ..

     

     

    That could be their line up re Celtic . .

  17. My views on the Amsterdam outcomes are similar to most people on here. Also like others I expect robust, considered response.

     

    Going along to the Columba Club this evening, hope to meet some fellow CQN’rs

  18. BMCUWP….it tends to get a decent crowd in the Emerald for Sunday and midweek games.Saturday afternoons don’t tend to be very busy except for when we used to play Deadclub.A few of the locals are big Wolves fans too,and follow them most Saturdays.

     

    A better idea for a Midlands Hootenany might be The Irish pubs in Digbeth, as it’s not far from Birmingham New Street Station and the Villa Irish contingent tend to be big Celtic fans,too.

     

    Don’t get me started about the Birmingham City bluenoses.Feckin horrible barstewards.

     

    We will deffo sort something in new year mate.

    From last thread

     

     

    Aye I knew Alex pretty well, through Celtic and other circles. I’d imagine there will be some good stories being told tomorrow night!

     

     

    I suspect you and I will have crossed paths at some point over the years.

     

     

    I will be at the funeral on Monday.

  20. Afternoon all.

     

    Ole thermals looked out for tomorrow’s game, cannae wait.

     

    Was wondering where to locate the ole Gazebo best for the celebrity spotting once the school is gone.

     

     

    Never knew Basketball lasted for 4 quarters of 12 minutes.

     

    Note to self : Do not, under any circumstances, volunteer for the staff team V S5 ever again.

    I expect there’s a lot going on just now but I’m a bit disappointed the big Celtic/ Holland story [ and it’s not what VVD may or may not have said ] did not get more prominence in the lead article.

     

     

    [ Unless I’ve inadvertently scrolled by another article]

  22. Dontbrattbakkinanger on

    ..I expected something more along the lines of ‘Six Celtic Fans’ from yesterday, which was excellent.

  23. The Honest Mistake loves being first on

    Dbbia.

     

    No other articles.

     

    2 months of Celtic supporters lives were stolen last night. It could have been me, you or anybody that posts here.

     

    Lots happening but that is the biggest story to affect celtic for years. It won’t go away.

  25. As Paul said on his post we are giving £2 to the Dam Appeal from every copy of CQN ANNUAL sold on the blog between now and midnight on Sunday.

If your name is included and you intend to buy the Annual before Christmas then please buy it this weekend and we can make a really strong contribution.

     

     

    If your name isn’t included I’ll start a new list for next year and include you next time.
