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

Bayern Munich are considering a ban on season ticket holders that don’t attend games.

There is the possibility our Board know what’s around the corner, and are reigning us rebels in, so as not to rock the sevco boat, as it heads towards / and then over the waterfall…..?

So glad you don’t sit next to my brother , can just imagine the both of you thinking something is going to go wrong right up to the final whistle :)
Always confident when we play a team in form ,its the nothing to lose teams that worry me
Bundoran Bhoy.
I usually do enjoy myself, pity your not going. I’ve some good pictures of that last meet up,
All I need is instructions on how to get pics from Computer to CQN pages,
Your wife probably took the best one.

If you have an iPad, get the MagCloud App and get the CQN magazines downloaded onto it.
A great way to view the mag.

Absolutely……i’m probably wrong, as usual :)
The writers of articles saying how easy it is not to lose any games (or goals) because Rangers no longer exist should look at the records and see how many times both Celtic and Rangers did, in fact, lose games and goals to this `donkey` opposition.

Sean Thornton and is it Judes birthday as well ?
Hoooooooooooopy birthday Bhoys
May it seems is the month of Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuve :))
Oh, I just had a look on the Celtic FC website. If anyone thinking of going has not yet bought a ticket, I would recommend doing so quickly. I would guess there was only a thousand or so left. Certainly, my area (106) and the neighbouring areas are sold out. In fact, being a little slow on the uptake, I missed out on my normal seat and am now in Area ES2 Row E.
Any CQNer sit in that area? Is it good?
JJ
Jungle Jim,
I agree.
Thems are ignorant beyond belief.
Its a bit like the clowns who think we should always win the treble because of ‘their’ demise.

Couldn’t find CQN mag on magcloud…..not very good at this….what am I doing wrong.?
67 heaven
wel if you have ever had a wife or girlfriend than you know that is always the case. :)
MWD
Oldtim . Have you any info regards cqnten. time , dress code . Any advice appreciated
Jungle j ….
Think no tickets have been issued for upper tier which is why
A. Lower tier tickets trickier to get
B. Top tier ‘sold out’ should read ‘ not available’
jimtim
Someone posted earlier, no Jeans.
But your ok with Maggies and Betty’s.
Paul67,
Delighted to see that you have teamed up with Marysmeals for the St. Patricks day dinner at CP. I think, (as I always have) that Marysmeals and Celtic are a match made in Heavan!
Good things to happen in the future as well hopefully.
This is a very special charity run by a very special guy and hundreds of volunteers who give up their time to help some of the poorest kids in the world have a square meal in their place of education.
If any of the good Cqners (and the bad ones too) want to know more about Marysmeals, how i works, its origins etc then have a look at this documentary when you have spare 30 minutes.

Seems to be a lot of speculation about dress code for CQNten.
I’m beginning to imagine something similar to the ‘bar scene’ from Star Wars.

the Phil Mac originated rumours of a second demise of the orcs appear to be gathering pace….
Seems theres a given chronology for his work:
1. He uncovers the truth and post it
2. The internet bam-pots get hold of it and start the drums going
3. SMSM / radio snyde starts taking calls
4. The wider media picks up on it
5. It becomes writ
I think we are at stage 3 at the moment and heading South.
Its Third Lanark all over again except its taking a bit longer because of the size of the support but they are going to fall eventually. Each reincarnation will get progressively smaller and weaker.
Keep up the good work Phil…….

We agree on most things…….except Bergerac!
I find it a beautiful, soft , mellow drink and you think it tastes like vinegar!
What about Languedoc? Would you put that in the Sarstons group as well? Chateau Chataigniere? St Emilion? Lagunilla? These are some of my current favourites at around £5-6 per bottle in Morrisons whilst Special Offers are on.

It does say No Availability for the top tier.
I was just letting anyone interested in going know that there are not that many tickets left.
JJ
Where are the Blue Oyster Club meeting after the game?
Johnny clash,
Anyone else imagining hearing the emperor’s theme as Paul walks in? ;p
JJ,
We still do agree on most things.
It was my poor attempt at an 80’s Jersey based detective joke. :)
Nothing worse bhoys than turning up suited and booted and everyone else casual . I’m no a collar and tie man anyway , but was just asking

At the top of the page there will be a bar with Open written close to the centre, click on that and there you go.
I forget the actor`s name ( John Nettles?). Anyway, he played Bassanio in the Merchant of Venice and one of my lower set pupils wrote: Three men had to pick the right box and two of them got it wrong but Bergerac picked the right one because he was a detective before.
JJ
Afternoon all.
A wee bit off topic but has anyone heard of the guy David Edgar who used to be on the Real Radio phone in from time to time. Both he and Euan Camerhun agreed nearly 100% on everything either Rangers or Celtic. I thought he was very articulate in what he said but a more smart alecy, anti-Celtic condescending pr*** I don’t think I ever came across in my life (the same could be said for Camerhun as well)
Wherever you are these days I hope you’re hurting badly. GIRFUY.
SOAL
Louden mate, see you there.
Ps wear green.
Jimtim
Unfortunately, I am not going but, were I to do so, smart casual would be my choice.
JJ
Jimtim good shout about the dress code for CQN10. I was going to turn up resplendent in my Celtic kilt but I think I’ll put it on hold until i get more info. I would imagine smart but casual will do. See you all there on Saturday. Hail Hail Hebcelt
