An article on STV this week brought an old memory to mind. Days before Rangers’ goalkeeper, Chris Woods, was set to break a Scottish shut-out record across all competitions he gave a media interview when he said, “I just hope when we do lose a goal it is not an important one”.
Woods duly broke the record in a Scottish Cup tie against Hamilton Accies but that game, 27 years ago last week, is not remembered for the achievements of Chris Woods, it’s remembered for the fact that Accies left back, Adrian Sproat, found himself in nosebleed territory as he thrashed the only goal of the game into the net. Records count for nothing when you’re knocked out of the cup.
Fraser Forster has demonstrated remarkable concentration in recent games, when he has been called upon to make incredible saves after long periods of inactivity, but there are only so many times he’ll be able to pull off ‘save of the season’ acrobatics. We need to protect him and close down space well away from the Celtic goal.
These records may matter little if they are recalled through an embarrassing defeat but, just consider how often and fondly we refer to the 25 league game winning run in season 2003-04. History is always worth making.
Many thanks for everyone who for getting your seats confirmed for our CQteN St Patrick’s Day Dinner at the Kerrydale Suite on 14 March. As we stand there are a few non-confirmed but from tomorrow we’ll be able to allocate seats to the waiting list. Will let you know if we have space available soon.
The dinner is to raise funds to build a kitchen for Mary’s Meals at the Kholoni Primary School in Mchinji, Malawi, which has 1200 students and no catering facilities. Children often are faced with the choice of working to eat of going to school. With a kitchen in place this dependency will flip, those who go to school and get an education, will also get a meal – often their only reliable meal of the day.
Marys’ Meals perform minor miracles, feeding each child in Malawi for £7 per annum, while employing locals to work in the kitchens (which will be used as a classroom outside of meal times). It will be a remarkable legacy to mark the first 10 years we’ve had out of CQN.
Two new badges will launch at the CQteN dinner to record the decade and raise funds for the Malawi kitchen. The designs have now been approved (see here) and they are about to go into production. If you would like to register interest, email Celticrollercoaster on cqnbadges@gmail.com

Thanks for the further info re wee rat Nevin …
Further evidence of his disingenuous nature
Fast becoming an irrelevance …thankfully
………………………………

Is it bood or booed?!
I will welcome Fergus back in August to thank him for his role in saving our great club.
Well done Celtic.

Apologies I’ve been away kidding myself that I can still play football.
I don’t your email but you can just send it to hamiltontim@hotmail.co.uk
Good Evening,
much of the day has been spent preparing and laying the groundwork for the introduction to these pages of a true Celtic legend.
Someone who has worn the hoops with legendary distinction and who would be described as an iconic Celtic persona in every sense.
Hopefully, within the next few weeks we will get a guest leader from the man concerned, and beyond that an opportunity for the blog to conduct a one off question and answer question with someone who will be forever associated with everything that is good about Celtic football club.
Forgive me if I say no more at the moment but more info will be forthcoming in due course.
If there is anyone who has not yet confirmed and paid for CQ10 can you please do so now as otherwise we will go to those who have been placed on a waiting list for the available spaces, and as we head towards the 14th March I am confident of promising all in attendance of a great night — a really great night.
Cheers
BRTH

You have consistently sought to court controversy with statements which often have little or no foundation
I just don’t see the need
BRTH
It’s not Pat Nevin then?
…………………He must be frightened that they’ll get turned over tomorrow by the Pars ..
hope they are
I received a mail from one of the organizers of the CQ10N bash on the 14th of next month,I shall post the relevant piece on here as it will save me hunting through e-mail addresses..
{Can I please ask for you to send me the names of your guests on your table, and if they have a CQN nom de plume that also.
We are going to produce name badges so you can see who’s who. If you prefer to remain anonymous that is perfectly fine as well.}
That was part of the e-mail, could everyone post me their details Name and Blog name, thanks in advance.
Sky sports news reporting Fergus as the man who saved us from liquidation thus preserving our history.
Don’t they know it was just the holding company he saved ?
Oldtim
Tell the nosey buggers naw…o))
ulysses-seen him at CP early 90s,brilliant live act.
Hamilton tim
No — it is no one even like Pat Nevin…………
Winning Captains
You’re such a tease …………..
So many hints, so few hard facts!!
BT
Brilliant news about the wee man. The weans are keeping him in their prayers.
BRTH
Is it Jess, his cat? :-)
I think it might be poetic justice if the pars could put Sevco out on Friday and then them being in a position to do anything else of note this season would well and truly be a moot point (other than go out of business of course).
We could then sit there and remind then they are pocketing a few quid for the rental of their stadium for two semi-finals and that they should be grateful that the SPFL have shown them such great charity.
We could also point out that Celtic park would have two cup matches and that Ibrokes would also be getting two.
Fair is fair afterall.
60,000 people can watch two finals. 10,000 more than their dump so there will be no moaning about lack of tickets from at least one participant.
BRTH.
I hope you have arranged plenty bar staff that night. My patience will snap if I have to wait more than a minute for a drink.
Re CQTEN attire
Just returned from Glasgow, could I find a pair of tartan leiderhosien anywhere.
Think the tartan shirt and leather chaps will just have to do.
“It would’ve cost less to go into liquidation. But it would also be humiliating for Celtic. So we paid all the bills.”
Fergus McCann”
Well done Celtic on inviting Fergus back. For all the positives that he brought to the club he deserves this recognition. I promise not to boo this time.
Ulysses McGhee
McOist has a fair point about hosting the tennis final as there are currently more rackets at Ibrox than there would be at Wimbledon!
OldTim67
How are you today?
Blantyretim.
Canny dae that, it’s me that’s the nosey bugler.there’s a bit further down where it says that you can be anonymous,but I think that would be a bit hard for you to be anonymous,everyone knows you.
Baku Boy,
Thanks for your good wishes.
Mrs IC & I are hoping for good luck for Mary’s Meals!
hope they are

“We could also point out that Celtic park would have two cup matches and that Ibrokes would also be getting two.”
Well pointed out, didn’t even think along those lines :)
Prestonpans
To be fair to RS that’s exactly what hey stated …two games each
McCoist is a disgrace, I didn’t think it possible , but he’s getting worse
Pfayr…..
It’s called opinion,mate.
Why are we on a blog if not to have one.
Without foundation?…..That is your opinion.
Doesn’t make it right or wrong if the opinion expressed does not concur with your view.
Subjective or objective opinions are only that……..OPINIONS.
As Lloyd Grossman once said……it ain’t rocket salad!!
Hamiltontim.
I haven’t been barred from this site in the ten years ‘nearly’ that I have been posting on here,so I’ll say I’m fine, without the expletives.
Reckon Paul 67 has lined up the Maestro from Oz for CQ10.
Proper legend……Paul McStay……just a hunch.
Would love to hear the Maestro’s view on wee tightfisted McCann.
Hamiltontim.
Do you and your good lady wish to remain anonymous,regarding that post at 20.33pm.let me know pal ‘o’ mine.
Another thing I would point out is McCoist’s problem is that he and his shower are no longer getting what they were used to and it is quite clear he cannot accept something approximating balance.
They’ll never be treated like any other club but to him something has changed and he doesn’t like it.
Ryecatcher
Without foundation was stated deliberately
I could give you a list …cannae he bothered
Opinions can be ill founded nonsense
Think I’ll just avoid your shock jock nonsense
