I remember the days (as a kid) when I’d get excited about Scotland-England games. At the time the countries were neck-and-neck in the number of wins each had over the other, we knew we’d punched well above our weight for a century. Since then, the inevitable verdict of demographics has taken its toll.
Now we know we’re a small nation, inconsequential to the football world, and we’ve even starved of developmental resources compared to the riches that ploughs into the English FA from Premier League TV deals each season.
The historical rivalry remains but I don’t feel it anymore and surely English fans care even less. They will have to dig deep to muster anything more than an interest in the three points available tonight, having long since moved onto Argentina and Germany for their rivalry. And Iceland, of course (forgive me).
Great sporting rivalries can endure for generations but that doesn’t mean they’ll last forever. Circumstances can change causing both sides to lose interest and find others to do battle with. None of our 20th century rivalries will survive. If we could bloody the nose of Barcelona for a third time in the 21st century later this month, our hit rate would place the Catalans in the crosshairs. Bring it on.

Auliheid and Res 12
The work you and the other bhoys have done is fantastic. The SFA have systematically and repeatedly ignored their own and Uefa’s rulea to help Oldco into Europe. Thereafter have performed Olympic standard mental gymnastics in order to promote and maintain the same club myth. Too many lies and half truths are already out there. Regan and Co know this. The whole edidice will collapse soon.
More and more people are beginning to realise the importance of Res 12 for the governance of the game in Scotland as a whole and not simply an OF ding dong. Hail hail to you bhoys.
Been advised that JPT is on holiday (can anyone confirm), now if I was a cynic I’d suspect this was a deliberate ploy to ensure correspondence regarding Res12 was not addressed until after the AGM, that way they could simply reply in terms of whatever excuse they use at the AGM for abdicating responsibility to protect shareholders interests and that is exactly what I expect from any statement from them at the AGM.
Fell out with Mrs GP this morning.
She wanted to book tickets on Friday night fo the opening of ” Fantastic beasts, and where to find them”
Told her, that is an old question with an answer closer to home than what she realises.

“Johnny come lately??? That’s a bit disrespectful :-( ”

Now, now Gerry, no unhappy faces here!
We’ve all to count our blessings, remember?
And not complain, protest or do anything about being cheated for years, just be satisfied knowing that they did.
We can’t have anything upsetting these great times to be a Celtic supporter, after all.
Have I got that right?
Kevj,
I expect because theirs was a dig at the support and not the board, we know the regard they hold the support in. They would have probably found a few names to pass on to the polis had it been held at Celtic Park.
I’m no defending the board, I’m calling out HK as a bullshit merchant that abused his privileged position and was caught lying.

Not that his excuses anything that you might have heard or, read from Hugh Keevins but, the only man who has ever been on this earth and didny lie…was nailed to a cross.

I spoke to JPT last Sunday and he is back today or tomorrow. It makes sense for him to take time off during international week.

JPT was definitely out of the office last week but I don`t know about this week. I have sent him an email this morning and have not yet received an automated reply so it is possible he has returned.
JJ
Or this even :-)

Has someone come up with another story about his private life??
Oh, sorry, it’s a different ‘Super’.
Kevj
So he’s up there with Jesus is he ?
He constantly lies on the radio, it’s the same club, res12 is about getting back at rangers, two absolute whoppers, so defend your lowlife lying hero all you want, he’s provided enough evidence to satisfy me that he deserves no more respect than the Huns he protects.
Morning champions…..congrats to Friesdorfer and family….Molly is a braw wee name….hoopy bday to anyone who has wan the day…
Didnae be giving the Brawderators and P67 any more work than they already have….!!!!
Let your brawness shine……smiley thing
Braw.
Notice the difference between our sttitude to our board, and we have a decent and improving team on the park, and that of the fawning zombies to their board of RRM even though their team is the worst I can remember and that includes Griegs marauders in the early 80s. Ha ha ha ha!
My apologies to Bada Bing for last night.Not knowing anything about the “Kenny Miller incident”,I was in the dark about your reply.On checking out,I see what you meant.
I am still none the wiser on the reported story yesterday in the rags.Very confusing.I suppose it will all come out in the court case.
His tart is very fragrant though.
If there is an interdict granted to silence the press discussing the granting of a EUFA licence to “thems” surely it must be on a court record somewhere, either Court of Session and /or Sheriff Court. More likely there is the old Ma.sonic code of omerta in play. All needs exposed. HH

It was meant to be a smiley face
Need to start wearing my glasses when posting :-)
Thanks for clearing up the JPT, my suspicious glands have been honed by the Plc over the last three years.

He wisny telling lies to the huns when he was saying that….
“Alistair is a Rangers Legend, the life and soul of the club etc, blah blah….”
…he was playing the huns fans like fiddles.
…do you think that he wisny loving the fact that they were rank – still are ?
…he comes from a house ‘full’ of Cellic season ticket holders…
…he said that Bill Leckie should take a good look at himself when, BL said that the Cellic supporters ‘coughed’ they’re way through the mins silence at ibrokes(actually 95 secs) when Hugh Keevins said that…
…”The Celtic supporters observation of the mins silence was ‘beyond’ exemplary and, how anyone can say differently would entitle ‘that’ person to have a right good look at themselves!”
…Phil Mac said that Hugh Keevins was one of 25 media folk who had civil unrest threats against them for they’re reporting of the hun situation and, the Lennon / McCoist barney.
…etc, blah, blah….
I’d ha e thought any such interdict would cover tinterweb too so I’d have expected this and many other sites would have been warned before now.

Bang on the money
Enjoy the good times, I know they cheated and in my wee life am pretty content with that, the Sevs I grew up with can hardly look me in the eye and never talk football these days, some difference when growing up in the 80s, so if ok with you am delighted with the way things are these days :-)))
Kevj,
What’s your point, did he lie/report a made up story about the testimonial ?
First time poster.( no I am not one of them!).
Melbourne Mick if you are about I am visiting the Mornigton Penisula from Queensland and heard about your golf game at Rosebud on the 20th Nov. and the follow up at the Bay Hotel.
Could you let me know details, Mrs MB and I would like to be involved .
Cheers and HH from Mooloolaba Bhoy

Welcome to CQN mate..
So has the Celtic Board’s support of Res 12 been the support of the hangman’s rope?
Kev
I have been called far worse than an Eeeedjit, by the way I only type of my Celtic experience and totally understand if others differ…. the huns didn’t walk away… they passed away
Gone…. maybe not for good but enough to make this happy clapper to feel pretty content

_________________________________________________________________________________
I’m not sure – word for word what was said.
But, but, but…..I do know that, Dermot Desmond ordered the Cellic over to America to play a friendly vs Real Madrid so that, DD’s ‘toy’ could be presented to DD’s fellow well healed admirers, rather than take the Cellic 1st team to play for Sean Fallon….as far as I know….Hugh Keevins ruffled a few well healed feathers by stating the above…in his words.
Anyway,….why haven’t the pea-shooters from the PLC, banned the DR awe the gither as as far as I know, there has been far worse printed in the DR than anything that HK said ?
GFTB
Let’s hope your delight continues unabated after the AGM.
Damned inconvenient things, aren’t they?
GERRYFAETHEBRIG on 14TH NOVEMBER 2016 10:17 AM

I get what yer saying Gerry.
But,….the huns will ‘never’ be allowed to pass away…Cellic PLC won’t hammer the stake through the cheating hun hear know why ?
…Coz, Cellic’s crowds will fall in half, Brendan would leave, meaning less crowds….as Fergus McCann said a couple of years ago….well, ye know what he said.
Ye see,….Gerry, folk dismiss the magical Jungle as a piss-flowing-relic of the past.
But,….Gerry,….there have been ‘no’ rebellions since the magical Jungle days….don’t ye think that the Cellic PLC are aware of that ?
Ye see, every now and then you’ll see it on here….fellow Celts will be bad and, other fellow Celts will grass them up then,…the grasses will go onto the supporters bus and sing about, all the rebel heroes who were murdered by the establishment, an establishment that couldny function without…grasses!!!
Makes ye think, eh.

I thought being a liar was a key competency for a Scottish sport writer.

A warm welcome my friend.
You’re not one of what ? Are you trying to preempt us.?
I’m sorry ; It would seem that you can no longer pick you’re own clique, as apparently we have a cliquemaster general. Lol :-))))
Hail, Hail to you.
Kevj,
The American gig was a long term commitment from my understanding not a spur of the moment decision, at least that my understanding
Turkeybhoy- cheers HH
KEVJUNGLE
Where do you get your information on Celtic FC, you’re a non attender now right???
Methinks you protesteth too much and it could be you’re nothing more than a jungle wannabe who’s Mammy widnea let him go to the jungle unless he was wi’ his Uncle Hugh….
We should all be locked out of our CQN accounts from the beginning of an international week until 48 hours before the next Celtic game.
We lost out on a “proper” poppy debate this year because Celtic weren’t playing on Remembrance Sunday (I’ve always maintained that there is a missing “e” in Remembrance), however the PLC did us all a favour by a having the AGM this week to ensure that CQN met its quote for number of fallouts in the second and third weeks of November. Hoopy days.
In other noos, Keef Jackson says the Scottish game is dying. That roughly translates to “Sevco are really running out of money now, and it’s all Stewart Rogaine’s fault”.
It’s partially true you know…
