Best news of the day? Kris Commons wants to be involved tomorrow against Barcelona. I doubt Kris is anywhere near match fit, so there’s no chance of him starting on Wednesday against Astana, but a 15 minute cameo, when the Astana players’ body clocks are telling them it’s after 2am, would go down a treat.
I’ve always been a bit more ambivalent about Leonel Messi than most. “He’s not hit the levels of Ronaldinho” is my stock comment, and then there’s the dirty little subject. (Tax).
But his media comments ahead of tomorrow’s International Champions Cup game, “I have a Celtic jersey at home. The games against Celtic were special and I want to remember them”, proves there’s substance to the man.
I’ve a Celtic jersey at home too, Leo. A few of us here do.
Former-Rangers former vice-chairman Donald Findlay is to defend Craig Whyte is his forthcoming trial.
Whyte’s urban legend is going to be difficult to shift, but it’s not accurate. We mocked Rangers fans a few years ago, referring to him as “Our Hero” but he never was. He was the bag man for a very dirty job.
How he handled the SFA, Uefa, HMRC and, most crucially, the insolvency court, when he managed to secure the appointment of Duff and Phelps as Rangers administrators was crucial in the continuation of football at Ibrox.
It was Duff and Phelps who gave Newco the right to use the name “Rangers”, after which point Whyte could claim he was passing on “Rangers”. Everyone else mocked this liquidation fantasy at the time. Until liquidation became a reality, that is.
Whyte left Newco relatively safe in the hands of Charles Green, where it would have thrived, if it hadn’t faced a hostile and damaging takeover bid from its first week of life.
Our auction prize, donated by (the pretty fabulous) Celtic sponsor, Intelligent Car Leasing, closes just after 1pm today.
You can win:
2 seats in the directors’ box
Champagne reception
5 course meal in the Walfrid Suite
Fully expenses bar (pre and post-match)
Half time snacks and refreshments
Car Parking
At the game against Kilmarnock on 24 September.
Money raised from the auction will go towards building a school kitchen in Malawi for Mary’s Meals. It it will be the 5th CQN school kitchen.
Our four existing kitchens feed over 2000 primary aged kids every day. School attendance has increased 30% since kitchens were built, as kids attend for their daily meal. This has an impact on health, education and life chances.
You can follow the auction on eBay here. Thank you.
I’m off to Aberdour now for the 12th annual CQN Golf Open. I’ll be the one holding the jackets.
See you then.

MATS NILLOC 806
Three times you hijacked a pleasant overnight exchange of views and music to have a pop at a Celtic supporter.
Three times!
Anyone would think you had an agenda. Once would have been more than plenty.
Then give it another go in the morning,finishing off with a piece of patronising “advice”
I’ve got news for you. I don’t give a toss about your opinion. I don’t think anyone does.
Not even Mrs Nilloc.
Now,please FO back to FF.

Spoke to BLANTYRETIM yesterday about your visit.
Over for the hun game,bad timing!
I’m sorry I’ll miss your trip,but I’m sure you’ll be too busy with friends-and strangers!-to notice. I’ll settle for helping with the organising,not that it needs any as all is pretty much in hand.
Thanks very much for the info on the incident,and I hope you have an amazing time!!!
Once I’v had my breaky, and a Wee brunch I’ll be fine.
Tony
I’ll be down about half four
COOLMORE MAFIA
All of the above stuff bang on, the point is if you give the Main Street media here in Scotland an inch, they’ll rip the arse out of it, at away games your kinda ambassadors for the club, by all means enjoy yourself, kick up your heels and party, as I’v said the club may deal with it, but to ignore it is condoning it IMO, no one died, but it’s just not proper behaviour.
Cork Celt,
Have a safe trip up to Dublin. I’ll be in Dublin early too. I’m looking forward to meeting you later. I’ll phone you later re the arrangements.
Great day ahead:))
HH
Masty
Hawf four sounds good, that’ll be around about midnight finish then :))
BMCUW
Thank you very much.
I don’t think I need to go for the game. Will speak to oldtim67 tonight.
Right am off up ti the shops the scran is a Wee bit low on the breaky side, asta la sayonara baby :))
What I see there is big part of Celtic support who has never ever did stupid things, jokes etc.
People who have never ever dissapointed club, at home and away. When the chance comes, they write whatever comes to their mind to condemn the devil and show how saint they are. Celtic – be proud of them and ban for life those who have dirty thoughts, or do stupid things.
So after all Collin Stams nonsense his mates in the meedja failed to do the most basic of journalism and check the facts!!
Well done ZBYSZEK.
Collins Stam your a knaw!
The lunacy.
As a Celtic supporter , I have to feel responsible for , and identify with , ANY Celtic supporter who happens to behave like an eff wit.
Never have.
Never will.
Hail Hail
With reference to MATS NILLOC on 30TH JULY 2016 8:06 AM
Hunnish bullying abounds.
Mats has the temerity to challenge the “accepted norms ” of C.Q.N. Timmism.
As any good Tim would and should.
There are no accepted norms.
That`s what makes us Tims.
Now , my fellow Tims , be careful not to deviate from the party line , because the wrath of the ” C.Q.N. establishment ” will rain fire and brimstone on yer heid.
Just like huns would do.
Mats my fellow Tim.
Keep calling it as you see it.
Decency demands it.
Hail Hail.
Surprised #knaw and wiki man haven’t blamed the GB yet!
C’mon guys you’re letting yourselves down.
MWD
Attention whore alert.
Just in to say…..
I hope all the Tims in Dublin have a guid weekend.
My young bro and hid gf are over there since Thursday
I think?….they went on the bus from Bar 67.
They both go to quite a lot of Cellic’s away Euro games.
In other news……
I worry for Craig Gordon.
Not for this weekend but, for impending ‘big’ Euro games
coming up.
In his biggest game in his Cellic career so far, v’s Inter at
Celtic Park, he threw two balls into our net ?!?!?!
Not being negative…..just worrying.
Anyway….have a guid weekend Celts.
……oot…….
MACJAY
That mantra has gone unchallenged for far too long.
General disagreement is NOT hunnish bullying.
If someone posts utter garbage,he should expect-we all should-that others will tell him their thoughts on the matter.
The opinions of the discerning and sensible many is not bullying. It is putting the record straight.
Jobo
Come come out wherever you are :-)
Aberdour weather report will be fine
I’ve been texting one of those golfing fhellla’s this morning, need to send the polis round to the hotel, he tells me he murdered a golf baw, yesterday – need to get this in the Level 5 Daily Sevco.
Anyway that top Bhoy is sorting my wee Ghirl oot with some new car tyres
Thanks Paddybhoy1888
Oh and I’ll bring my wee dugs over to Aberdour and have them look for them golf bawls :-)
That’s the Hearts tickets dropping through letterboxes this morning

Having respected your views and been influenced by your opinions over a number of issues for a significant period of time , I am comfortable that your view is carefully considered .
Mats Nilloc needs no consideration or assistance from me.
Just one question.
Is he a Tim ?
Is any other matter of any relevance whatsoever ?
He doesn`t conform .
Well so what ?
Can someone ask that Level 5 Daily Sevco
Has The Rangers official who kicked out at the young Hibernian fan just after the Scottish Cup final- yes him, has he been identified and charged with assault yet ?
Get that video in your paper – the one where the official whilst in his technical area kicks out to protect himself from a young fan just running past celebrating his teams victory
Nae wonder I do not buy that rag or any other for that matter
Bobby.
Incidentally.
Do you not find this ” contribution ” much more offensive than anything Mats has had to offer ?
ERNIE LYNCH on 30TH JULY 2016 10:08 AM
Attention whore alert.
MACJAY
Hha,you were going fine there,bud-until the bit about being influenced by my views!
But you make a good point. We have clashed swords frequently over the years,usually overnight. We rarely share the same opinions,yet rarely allow the debate to fall off a cliff of bad grace and malice. And you never do(!)
I’ve yet to see #knaw make one post,in any of his incarnations,which is not sneering and dripping in contempt for the existence much less the opinion of anyone else.
Like you,I defend his right to post. But I also defend the rights of anyone to describe him how they like. As long as it continues to be accurate.
MACJAY 1041
Good spot. Shocking lack of punctuation,old bean.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 30TH JULY 2016 10:42 AM
Tims who agree to differ.
Magic.
B.M.C.U.W. The W.D.40 of C.Q.N.
Wednesday .
Back and firmly on the same page.
Hail Hail
The Unknown supporter anyone aware of who he is? Taking absurdity to new levels

Cheers,bud. Catch you later. Work to do.
Beer disnae drink itself,you know.
Some of our players are about to find out who they are playing for today. I expect to see the exclamation marks coming out of wee Paddy Roberts head when he sees the crowd. Dembele could do with a goal. I fancy him to rise to the occasion.
We don’t need a faked interest in a washed up player to stay relevant.
Missed opportunity with the pink top though. We could have had a wee inscription on the collar that quoted Messi – I’ve got a Cellic tap at home.
Kris Commons for president.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 30TH JULY 2016 10:56 AM
Half yer luck .
Good Morning from a bright and sunny Aberdour!
I can report that Jobo was last seen at some unspecified hour last night – or early this morning I should say – walking up the road in this quiet village like a one legged man wearing a roller skate with one dodgy wheel.
Beyond that it was a very good dinner with excellent speeches from Paul, Tosh McKinlay and the two chaps who spoke about their personal experience and local charity exploits.
However, I should report that having taken a leave of absence from CQN and all other forms of human contact to go and tour Italy for the better part of a month – I returned to Earth with a bump last night to find that nothing has changed and that this site is indeed blessed with a rare number of complete and utter lunatics!
Chief among those worthy of a mention is Old Tim who made it clear yesterday that he is quite determined to get me into as much feckin trouble as possible whilst appealing to my oh so easily manipulated management like brain and heart.
As of this morning I have taken to making phonecalls to commercial organisations during the course of which I casulally ask ” could you give me your best price for chartering a commercial plane or two …..”
It is only during the course of these conversations that it dawns on me that when it comes to lunatics the biggest one of all is looking back at me in the mirror!!!
MULLET AND CO 2 on 30TH JULY 2016 10:58 AM
Kris Commons for president.
==================================================
When we didn`t have much , Kris was there for us.
I would love it if Brendan were to view Kris as a heartfelt contributor .
Because that`s what I think he is.
So
We have someone (mats) posting links to the daily record …on CQN !!!! (See byline for the starter for ten type clue!)
Highlighting a story, that another CQN guy ( Mr Z) has now informed us is only partially correct. That the ‘victim’ considered it all to be a bit of a joke etc., etc. Mr Z did some research on our behalf, the other guy didn’t. Go figure!
Then we have a few challenging Mats about his motives and one or two telling him where to get off. Fairly mild stuff.
Then we have another poster (macjay) defending Mats’ right to be different. To stop bullying him etc., etc.
What you will all have failed to see is any attempt by Mats or Macjay to acknowledge that there was a lot more to the original story – missed that bit?!
Job done guys: clickbate achieved, decent mood disrupted, negative tone setting for the morning and a wee bit of deflection ( bullying allegations) away from the original cause of the stooshie.
Engage with these guys if you will. However, please ask yourself what type of Celtic fan would post a link to the record on this site ( of all the Celtic sites)?
You will all wait a long time for a correction or an apology.
What really gets on their thruppeny bits, is a reminder of how much money we have all (mostly) saved in the last 10 or so years since the blog began. Now we access our fitba news from credible sources. They hate that reminder and watch the reaction ( from posters you would least expect, until you join the dots…)
Clicks mean prizes to these guys.
Subsequent Disruption is the icing on the cake.
It’s my last word to either of them.
Air supply…
Cut!!

Birthday good? Or did you do what I usually do now-shut the curtains,nail up the letterbox and bury ma heid under a duvet?!

Mate.
I don`t dip my foot in the water over one wee incident.
No.
Mats has been copping shit for months.
From the usual suspects.
B.T.W. Where`s Kojo ?
