Busy article today, watch out for notes at the bottom on:
Magners ticket competition for 27 December
Mary’s Meals Malawi school kitchen appeal
CQN Annual, final few posting days before…..
CQN Christmas Raffle – winners have been drawn
One of the resources Ronny Deila has been short of since taking over is training days. Players have stamina, fitness and speed training work to do every week, while there’s rest time before and after games, so time to work on technical aspects are a premium.
Believe it or not, this is the first midweek Celtic haven’t had a game, or players away on international duty, since the second week of July. The manager has spoken of how difficult it has been to carry out the extensive tactical changes he has introduced spending only stolen minutes working on them. The January break will give him another opportunity to spend hours with the players on tactical work.
Apparently newco are keeping McCoist as some kind of blubber human shield for Monday’s AGM! Nice one. There’s nothing degrading about that, very classy in fact. Really disappointed for Ally, I’m sure he could almost taste the £400k he’s counting on – to go quietly. Let’s hope he puts on a show on Monday and they sort him out thereafter.
It’s almost worth buying a newco share to get along on Monday. Almost.
It’s been a while since I’ve paid any attention to the man who’s apparently lined-up to replace McCoist next week, Billy Davies. After his interesting second stint at Nottingham Forest ended earlier this year, The Guardian wrote:
“[Davies] has paid the price for failing to control a personality which latterly seemed to have crossed the border into downright paranoia.
“[He] could never quite escape his self-destructive insecurities.”
It’s not often you read a national newspaper liberally speculating on the mental health, or lack thereof, of an individual.
Failing to control his personality, downright paranoia, self-destructive insecurities! He’s perfect. Is there a job in the land this guy is more suited for than newco’s manager?
Our pals at Magners have kindly offered a pair of premium seat tickets to the Jock Stein Stand at the home game on 27 December in support of our Mary’s Meals appeal. You can win the tickets by email me at celticquicknews@gmail.com the answer to the question:
Who do Celtic play on 27 December?
Competition closes at 22:00 tonight (Thursday) so get your entry in.
If you’re entering the competition please consider donating £1 to Mary’s Meals here, where we are hoping to build a kitchen at a school in Chibwata, Dowa, Malawi, for their 909 children.
I’d a look at John Guidetti’s interview with Magners this week, he looks like he’s enjoying himself……..
We’ve drawn the CQN Christmas Raffle, winner of the Special Whisky and CQN Package is ticket number 976, from a lucky reader based in Lythm, we’ll be in touch.
The four runners up all win CQN Packages with ticket numbers 1072, 974, 1190 and 1051, check your tickets, we’ll be in touch soon.
Still time to order your 2015 CQN Annual for Christmas.

Re J.Bell.
Can you imagine other employers tolerating this type of behaviour?
Simply refusing to do his job because of his sectarian hatred of another employee.
As despicable as his behaviour was and his equally despicable open disrespect at the JJ minutes applause, the cretin’s employers continue to this day to keep him in a job.
Hell mend him and hell mend the rats who employ him
At Forest Davies was always moaning about lack of investment in the team. Welcome to Sevco!
Tom – what exactly did I say after the Thistle game that offended you?

All of the above was carried out with brown brogues and lashings of dignity.

With the mention in the article of Mary , and Mangers, is there a nativity theme going on?
Maybe Ally is really one of the 3 wise men!
Paul – good and fair point on lack of time to practice tactics. Fitness is another matter. Only 2-3 weeks ago many were highlighting the fact that we still generally look less fit than majority of our European rivals. RD and JC have had months to implement their fitness and diet regime and have the players faster and stronger than ever before. Remember the look of the German national team at the World Cup? Lean and mean. Players with the right mindset and the correct motivation should be working their socks off to achieve that level of fitness. It is one of the most effective ways to overcome, or at least counterbalance, the shortcomings of skill when we meet superior teams. Run them off the park. First to every 50/50 ball. Chase everything down. Close down the spaces and force the opposition out of their comfort zone.
If we have superior tactics and skills, marvellous. If not, at least let’s be fitter and faster.

don’t buy this lack of time – working day is usually about 8 hours – are the players at lennoxtown for that duration.

medtim – spot on. Unfortunately the players mentioned were never lambasted, ridiculed or disciplined by the wider world for their cretinous behaviour. Imagine the furore if a black player was treated that way?

They would have been lambasted in the press, there would have been sanctions put on them from the authorities…
Will Billy Davies now be the 2nd oldest swinger in town?
All best wishes to the Under21s tonight at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland where they take on their hosts in the Premier League International Cup.
Would be great were more than a few of the thousand Celtic Nation followers from previous years able to travel across the A66 and down to the game to cheer the Bhoys.
A little encouragement for our future first-teamers wouldn’t have gone amiss today, Paul67
In the omnishambles main players were Green Whyte and Mr Custard!!..

Neganon –
It didn’t offend me. It wasn’t about me. I just found it very revealing.
It was the day after Ms Budge at Tynecastle put the put into Celtic for the supporters’ alleged bad behaviour.
On the Wednesday afternoon, Celtic issued a strongly worded statement defending the support and basically telling Ms Budge to get their own house in order.
I was sitting in the Kerrydale Bar before the Partick Thistle game waiting for my son. I was scanning CQN and everyone was full of praise for the Celtic statement, including those posters who are normally very critical of the board. There was not one poster condemning the statement and I found that very heart-warming, until you posted that it was a laughable statement and you went on to slaughter the board for their cowardice.
You are of course, entitled to your opinion, but as I say, the usual board bashers were all praising the statement.
I read your comment as proof positive that you really did have a personal agenda against PL, the board, or both. Again, you are entitled to have such an agenda, but don’t expect me to take any of your subsequent comments seriously. Since that night, I haven’t and I won’t.
There it is.

Certainly, the Aberdeen player did appear genuinely upset when he approached the fourth official. It looked like he believed himself to be a victim of an outrage.
* aye he was that upset that he gave it big tae an official after we gubbed them and then dissed oor man on instagram.

I feel like I am always gibbering about Fartz but I feel I have to on this one.
Dr Budge is trying to cut our allocation for future games at Tynecastle by challenging Jambos to buy tickets so they can cut our allocation in half.
Dr Budge appears to be turning to the Jambos and saying you don;t want them here? Buy them out then. Interesting.
Also the TV matches in the next tranche on TV have Hearts and Hibs both visit Ibrokes on a Friday night in January and February. Hardly ideal when you need a full house and big support behind you against two teams you have not gained a point against this season.
I see Tony Watt’s time may be up in Belgium at his current club. Hope the lad gets a move to a club where he can be happy. He doesn;t seem to be able to get himself in the zone to hone the obvious talent he has and excel on the pitch.

Hi, when you say – “…the usual board bashers…”
I hope that you didn’t mean me.
I think that the board are a bunch of corrupt weasels who, were more than helpful in the creation of the OBA which criminalises Celtic supporters.
The board will spin some yarns to make it look like they are on the same page as the supporters. They are not and don’t look like being anytime soon.
In truth, they should be emptied and – at last – McCann’s false promise of the Celtic fans being in control of their club should be fulfilled. For this to be achieved is pretty straightforward….with hold the SB money and buy DD’s shares with it – simples.
Hope yer well – Hail Hail

The Kray Twins will fine him if he doesn’t trap,to save a bit of money.
LiviBhoy –
She’s making a rod for her own back.
Hearts and Hibs fans traditionally don’t turn up in large numbers for big games if it is live on TV. They’d rather watch from the pub or the armchair.
They both need the large visiting support when Celtic come calling.
Tony Watt will find his level, which will probably be with a Falkirk, QOS or the Australian A-League.

Of course not! The Roll of Honour was compiled over a weekend – if you posted you were in!
On the Davie Hay question being missed I didn’t have Doc with me to assist so I was trying to read the questions to Davie so he could answer and also get him books to sign in the gaps in the middle. Next time you will be first on the list!
I see Hateley stabbed Sally in the back,i think it was Ratcho who stuck him in.

KevJ –
If you didn’t come on that night and give the board some credit for their statement then I didn’t mean you.
BTW when I mentioned “board-bashers” I wasn’t criticizing them in that post. I was merely describing them in the context of them praising the board on this specific occasion.
What is the story with J.Bell? Also, is he the Sevco Kitman?
