7 goals count for squat once whistle goes

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I haven’t checked my facts here, so I could be wrong, but I reckon the last time we scored seven goals (against St Mirren) we lost the very next game (against the same opposition).  If we can deduce anything from this two point observation it is that teams rebounding from an embarrassing defeat are more dangerous than teams on the crest of a great result.

Celtic will have been flowing in training this week whereas Motherwell will have re-examined every aspect of their club, team and tactics after their cup exit to Albion Rovers.  If we produce a similar performance and result to the one we achieved at Tynecastle last week it will be an outstanding achievement.

Would like to see Biton and Mulgrew play in similar central roles tonight.

Many thanks to those who bid on the charity auction for lunch at Cinc Sentis in Barcelona.  Highest bid is currently £82, if you’re going out next week, treat yourself………

“The question though is why the near obsession for the club’s history?

I don’t think there is a need for me to repeat the already well-trodden road of our club’s history and culture. In my opinion, I feel that it centres on the roots of the club……. that the club was formed to serve a community but grew to be far much more than that. It’s not about a business, a result, customers or a tournament. We view it as people with the supporters at its heart, something that is being lost at most other large clubs.”

    “Cutty” Young played in the “first European Super Cup” against Ajax

     

     

    He scored in Amsterdam . If that was before the game, you could see why Jock Wallace fell out with him

    In my continued, (half-hearted), search for a cheap private number plate, I note I can get S5VCO for £250.

     

     

    You could always go for S5VCO 5088, although you’d have to watch out for someone taking it off you and changing it to S5VCO 5COTLAND……..

    Garcia lorca, smashing read, I can empathise with much of that and though my father figure did not mark my card, but like you I was aware that racial discrimination that was engrained in society here and abroad was as wrong for the coloured peoples it targeted as it was when against the Irish in whose footsteps I followed.

    I have no love for the Labour Party even although I was a member until the mid 80s, but to claim that it sympathised with Soviet Communism is way off the mark. Since the 30s, the leadership of the Labour Party was vehemently anti CP. At local level, many ordinary members of both parties co-operated during industrial disputes and on local trades council (remember them?).

    Sometimes it’s Rutgers things they DON’T say… A comment from Mr Somers today’s open letter.

     

     

    “Another new bogey man thrown about by the Gang of Four is the suggestion that we might be thinking of selling Ibrox. We are not thinking about this. Where do the requisitioners get these ideas from? I promise you we have no intention of a sale.”

     

     

    What he does not confirm is Ipox is his to sell.hmmmmm .

     

    There’s also no mention made of the training complex.

     

     

    Great fun watching them implode.

    Not sure about this applause thingy. Having watched the locals it looks to me as if a minutes lateral movement is closest to local custom.

    I’m impressed that you have such instant recall of what motions were discussed and debated at Labour Party conferences in 1956, 1962, 1969 and 1979/80.

     

     

    I’m less impressed that you haven’t been able to say what actions the UK took in respect of each of these events.

     

     

    All in all it using your reasoning it seems fair to deduce that the Tories were sympathetic to Soviet communism, though perhaps not as sympathetic as Nelson Mandela was.

    1968 .

     

     

    The crushing of ” The Prague Spring ” gave Labour bods like Harold Wilson / Denis Healey and Michael Stewart the heebie geebies .They were deeply worried that the Soviet Unions’s next step would be to invade Romania and Yugoslavia. Cabinet papers of the time record Denis Healey telling Harold Wilson that The UK could not stand idly by should those 2 things transpire..

    My wife works in the city (Edinburgh) and her employer held a drinks and nibbles party for clients last night.

     

     

    I picked her up at the local train station just before 10 and she was definitely a bit squiffy.

     

     

    The car radio then advised us of Nelson Mandela’s passing.

     

     

    When we got home we both sat and watched the very sad news as it unfolded.

     

     

    A potted life story, then tributes, and anecdotes.

     

     

    All through the programme my wife was nodding in agreement, sometimes adding her own few words of sorrow.

     

     

    My lovely wife then retired to bed about 10;45.

     

     

    I continued to watch the news for a while then joined her, she snoring loudly.

     

     

    In the morning, she gets up before me, as usual.

     

     

    I then hear the footsteps running upstairs and think what has happened now.

     

     

    She gets to the side of my bed and tearfully advises me that Nelson Mandela has passed away during the night.

     

     

    I didn’t have the heart to tell her.

     

     

    Madiba RIP.

    Please God hear my prayer… I hate fenians.

     

     

    Please God, hear my prayer too, I am a Fenian, and I don’t want to hate anybody.

    See Mandela’s after pushin’ Nigella off the front pages. Anyone else, I’d’ve been furious. Great man. That’s puttin’ it f****n’ mildly. Just walkin’ out of tha’ jail – d’yeh remember?

     

    I never thought somethin’ as ordinary as watchin’ someone goin’ for a walk could be so incredible. D’you remember the Dunne Stores women? The strikers? I do, yeah. The wife’s cousin was one o’ them. Amazin’, really. There we were, eatin’ South African oranges an’ tha’ Outspan. That’s right – Jesus. And your woman on the checkout – was it Mary Manning? Think so. She refuses to handle them. An’ she’s suspended an’ there’s the strike an’ we all stop buyin’ the oranges an’ then the Government bans them. Tha’ would’ve been before Mandela got out o’ jail. Yeah. Great f*****n’ women.

     

    Nigella would’ve joined them. Probably, yeah. And d’you remember the day he came to Dublin? Same day the Irish team came home from Italy. That’s righ’ – Italia 90. Ooh aah, Paul McGrath’s da. Best tribute to him really, isn’t it? The best Irish footballer ever an’ the best politician in the world, side by side in the one chant.

     

    OOH AHH PAUL McGRATH’S DA – SAY OOH AAH PAUL McGRATH’S DA.

    I’d be genuinely interested to know what actions of the Labour Party led you as a young boy to believe that they ‘excused Soviet Communism’.

     

     

    —————————————————-

     

    My memories are of two sides condemning the other but not examining what was being done by the regime that they favoured. It applied to the Conservatives just as much.

     

     

    I always think that you need to get your own house in order (ok nothing is perfect) before throwing stones at someone else’s greenhouse.

     

     

    You will find that my posts on here are often directed at the faults in our own club or amongst our support but don’t think that I don’t feel that 90% of the problems in Glasgow football lie on the other side.

     

     

    It is good to examine one’s own conduct as we often do not see how we are being inappropriate or hypocritical but this is not a trait well recognised amongst politicians (or football supporters). Although fiction, the excellent Borgen series on BBC4 started with a conviction politician showing her honesty and weaknesses and, of course, winning the election. I lose respect when politicians always have a smart answer, especially when it has been slightly twisted, or football fans resort to what about them rather than “yes – we were partly wrong too”

     

     

    My first impression of the main parties in the UK gave me a bad impression of both of them, hence my post.

    Is Biton the new N’Guenmo?

     

     

    I hope I spelt Biton’s name correctly, but I don’t really know who he is.

    You haven’t explained how you came by your belief that the Labour Party ‘favoured Soviet Communism’.

     

     

    That’s the bit I was interested in learning about. How you came to hold such a view.

    In 1956, UK Govt couldn’t say anything because of Suez.

     

    In 1962, Kennedy had dealt with the situation.

     

    In 1968, UK joined in the general condemnation of the Soviets but were a bit muted due to what USA was doing in Vietnam.

     

    Thatcher had plenty to say when Afghanistan was invaded.

     

    Over the period, Soviet Union bankrolled ANC. Of course Mandela liked the CP.

     

    In my view, the CP and Soviet Union were on the side of the good guys in most situations in the 20th Century. The Tories generally were not.

    Just heard Trevor Bayliss on the radio there, claiming to have met Nelson Mandela in Pretoria. My first thought; Is he on the wind-up?
