Another year, another “treble yell” from the Celtic family, this time from Lubo Moravcik. Lubo did it, of course, but that was 16 years ago, and despite playing monopoly with the league since then, we’ve not managed to add two trophies to the haul.
Celtic have secured one trophy, with the league title a formality, so the treble is now all about the Scottish Cup. The cynics will expect difficult draws (should we overcome Albion Rovers) and, perhaps, ground-breaking referee decisions. A grasp of history suggests our chances are no more than 50%.
I can understand Brendan Rodgers wanting to retain a fringe player, like Gary Mackay-Steven, in order to give the player a proper assessment during the second half of the season, but Gary needs to play football right now. A period on loan at Tannadice would help him return to form, and if it didn’t, it would answer a few questions for Brendan.

Thirds63,
Or 21 for short :)
I couldn’t go back as the building is demolished but it reminds me of all being huddled round a tiny telly with black and white picture. Rented coin operated telly with one or two bob needed to feed it, wingnut winder. Ah nostalgia
.
On the Henrik anniversary what about dreadlock wigs :)
Insomnia is a pan in the jacksie so it is
Correction: Paul commented on the radio that future revelations would be ‘nuclear’, not apocalyptic, if my memory serves me right.
6 nights 3 in Lisbon and 3 in Porto break from Manchester 22nd and Stanstead 21st May £329 flights, hotels and tours, no too bad for a wee break no sure if any left, was looking and posted earlier.

Got to say my criticism of previous years accounts appear to have been addressed a wee bit, looks like they are trying to make the accounts easier to u derstand, well done credit where due.
I am still a wee bit confused though, note 8 has the club with only 100 shares and note 15 identifies share capital 1million £1 shares eh, hauners :)
Or is that a thousand £1 shares ? Either way it disny make sense
Good morning CQN from a cold and frosty East Devon.

I wrote a conciliatory post a few minutes ago trying to address your issues and balance them against what CQN gives the wider congregation of Celtic supporters and at the same time trying to understand what Paul, a young man with a wife and family, has to contend with in a rabid, Hun infested environment. John James tells us that he has had to leave the country because of threats to chop off his fingers and blind him with acid so why should Paul raise his head further above the parapet. Paul is high profile. He has appeared on the media on many occasions. To be honest, Margaret, what exactly have you done to make you think that you are in a position to criticise Paul? You, and while I’m at it, some others on here have a daily pop at Paul for not bring radical enough in criticising the Board but none of you walk in Psil’s shoes.
There are many of us who would like the Board to confront the Huns, SFA, Meeja, Uncle Tom Cobley and all but we recognise that the tables might be turned on the Club and we might end up being portrayed in a bad light. Evidence? CSA hiring a private eye to investigate referee Jim McCluskey and Celtic CEO Allan MacDonald hiring a psychologist to report on Referee Hugh Dallas’ performance in the Rangers NIAR 3-0 victory at Celtic Park. How did that go for us? If you find CQN painful to read why don’t you and the others of a like mind draw your own conclusions and recognise that CQN no longer gives you what you once hoped for, no longer meets your needs and seek to find another Celtic blog which does.
Very well scribed TOSB THANK YOU perhaps I should have tried to scribe something similar during the week
Good Morning from a cold and clear Muswell Hill. No gym today, instead I will be challenged by a couple of meetings in Camden and then the long haul home.
Be careful everyone. HH

Precisely the same risks to life and limb would be run by members of the Celtic Board who are regularly vilified on CQN for not speaking out and up about whatever happens to be the issue of the day .
I`m delighted that they have chosen to speak softly and carry a big stick.
A stick which Brendan is currently wielding with impressive stickmanship .

Who says they don’t speak out?

“Rangers is a great football club, it has a great history and it’s unfortunate that they have been relegated,” said the Irish businessman.
“We would certainly like to contest with them every week – we believe we’ve got a better team and a better management structure.
“Rangers is a fantastic football club, it is one of the greatest football clubs in Great Britain, we’ve got to acknowledge that. But we can only look after ourselves.”

“Rangers are a fantastic club with a great history. They will, in not too long a time, be back in the SPL. I have no doubt about that.
“And they’re needed for Scottish football because of their following, the size of the club and especially their history. We certainly would like to contest with them every week.”

Seen few different people when living in Australia . Now back in Derry and did same.. found a fella who is excellent. Hopefully his long term results are as good as his short term ones.. only time till tell.
Could be similar to what MIT has cause seems to be same area but I’m not 100%. Have a good day
Ernie –
I said it 2 years ago and I’ll say it again.
I see you are still grabbing every opportunity, however tenuous, to tell us what a wonderful club Rangers are.
With due cowardice, you hide behind an alleged quote from Dermot Desmond. That’s three days in a row. You must have posted that quote more than a hundred times over the years.
You’re not fooling everyone on CQN.
CCE –
You are wasting your time. CQN gives the likes of Margaret McGill and his ilk EXACTLY what they are looking for.
That is the whole point.
Good to see Mikael Lustig signing a new contract. This has been his best season in a Celtic shirt and he deserves the prize.

I will not stand back and allow the usual suspects to bad mouth Paul
I was on this site long before anyone of them
Just a little reminder Awe Naw wasn’t red carded as an act of censorship, Awe Naw was red carded for characterising any Celtic supporter who did not agree with his views on the board as “morons”, being so excited at having the “old firm” back that they were prepared to perform various sexual acts.
When I pointed out that Peter Lawwell had publicly stated Celtic’s position on the “need” for a strong rangers, that was being pedalled by Alec Salmond. Awe Naw then turn his general post about Celtic supporters into a direct insult to me.
I have no personal animosity towards Awe Naw, if he returns to this blog or not is of no consequence to me. However let’s not make him out to be some unfairly treated upholder of truth and justice suffering censorship and repression.
Graham Hunter has a podcast up with John Collins in his ‘Big Interview’ series.
The podcasts are generally very good from GH (although he can at times appear to interview his guests from a kneeling position ) and the Collins one should be interesting.
Well at least we now know where the unseen fenian hand is. It’s on the end of Peter Lawwell’s arm.
Thanks for clearing that up for us Mr. Gilmour.
Shame your team and your pretendy team urnae doing too well eh?

I thought the whole Gilmour/McIntyre act on Shortbread last night ,was a Level 5 set up……….
Morning Celts
Owen, i dont think thats whats going on.
The mods should be more even handed…thats all.
You get a red card, thats fair enough….I should have had a few myself:)
But….there were other posters who should have been carded as well imo.
And….ive seen far worse on CQN and nothing was done.
HH
I believe someone on here suggested we should not be picking teams etc as we have a very good manager who does that job already. Nevertheless, it is fairly natural when talking of ones`s team to favour certain line-ups over others. That being so, should the Wee Rovers game be used to blood the new Bhoy and give the likes of GMS and Biton a start or do we go with whatever Brendan sees as our strongest eleven to reinforce the unity of the first half of the season?

PS CCE @ 6:58
That`s more like it.
Owen @ 9:44
A fair point.

Is there always at least one Moderator tuned in to CQN ?

JJ, couldnt tell you bud.
I just know ive seen far worse on CQN
In fact…i did notice that it was me that got a wee mod warning for pointing out it wasnt all one-way traffic:)
I was entirely innocent:)
HH
Good Morning Bhoys from a grey but dry Central Scotland. H.H.

Morning.
Hope you are well.

Thanks. I asked because , rather than the Moderators being inconsistent or having favourites, I thought that maybe some posts, obvious candidates for removal, were off the famous radar 0:-)
`Entirely innocent` or just a wee bit innocent ? 0:-)

Awe Naw is like a wee fluffy kitten in comparison with the likes of Mr Pastry/ Alfie Noakes & co….who was a absolute horror, whatever mask he had on.
And….I was entirely innocent in the matter, apart from calling CCE a big blouse, which im sure he will be heartbroken about:)
As for the mods….dont know how that works.
HH
How long does a ban last?
Trying to figure out if it’s worth it so I can call out some morons that are on the blog this morning… ;-)))))

I think you put on a pair of Ruby Red Slippers and click your heels together three times….and thats it:)
