Balance returning, Magnificent effort

1052

After a tenacious win in Paisley on Friday Celtic were back in the groove last night.  Passing was swift and accurate, movement – perpetual.  It was a quiet game for Kris Commons, which at an earlier time would have meant a game with few chances for Celtic, but the prodding of Johansen, Armstrong and Mackay-Steven ensured Thistle played much of the game trying to chase shadows.

The return from injury of two of our three right backs, Adam Matthews and Darnell Fisher, has given the team better balance, although Adam still looks to be finding his sharpness.

John Guidetti established his early season reputation against Thistle with a League Cup hat trick but that seemed like a lifetime ago last night.  The striker had the odd chance but the terror he inspired in defenders a few months ago has gone.

Enormous thanks to winning bidder for our Open Golf Championship Hospitality competition, which finished a moment ago raising £2050 for our School Kitchen project for Mary’s Meals in Malawi.  Thanks to Eden Mill Distillery and Brewery in St Andrews and all who participated.

It was a stunning effort and the money is now in place to complete the fourth CQN school kitchen!  Well done to all who played their part.

Celtic sponsor, Magners, who have helped from the beginning of this recent school kitchen project, have a competition to play at Lennoxtown and Celtic Park.  You can enter your 7-a-side team into the Magnificent 7s competition before 5pm Wednesday 15th.  It would be good to see CQN represented.  Qualifying round takes place at Lennoxtown on Sunday 26 April with the finals at Celtic Park.

    Had to re-read that post to Weefra

     

     

    Thought you wrote ‘Lambeg season’

    If a Sevco player kisses the badge (after winning a shy, a foul, a corner, and god forbid a penalty …) does he realize he is kissing Mike’s, erm, assets?

     

     

    More to be pitied than scolded…

    My granny’s brother, Dan Armour, had a trial at Celtic and was asked back for a second trial with a view to getting signed up. He was so chuffed about it, went to the pub,had about six too many, felt so rough the following day, he couldn’t travel to Celtic Park and then lost his chance to pull the hoops on.

     

     

    Dallas, my own claim to fame was that I had trial set up with Tottenham Hotspur (VERY unusual back in the late 60’s) and the week before they were flying (yes, honestly) me down to Londers my best mate, who played midfield in front of me, broke my ankle as he blocked my clearance from the defence. He was, and remains, a tit and, surprisingly, my best mate.

    Thank you so much. Unfortunately the farm has been sold and the new owners have instructed all renting farming stock to be removed as they require their own quotas to be put in place. It looks like our lambing days are over, but keeping our fingers crossed. Cheers for your concern buddy. KTF.

    BGX,

     

     

    Agreed. We are currently in control of the bus. It might be a megabus but it’s still a bus.

     

     

    The victimhood guff should be dumped. The plucky undergog no longer applies. Our former rivals were liquidated despite supposedly being untouchable.

    At one point in the first half last night, Collum gave one of his usual odd decisions.

     

     

    The crowd were a bit quiet when someone at the front of the North( hopefully soon to be McGrory) Stand shouted ‘Collum, you’re a f***wit’ when he awarded Thistle a foul which no one could work out why.

     

     

    His decision to penalise Kris Commons for what could be called a collison when a Thistle player was watching for the ball to come down, with his back to Kris, who was waiting for the ball to drop also, was bizarre. His decision not to give us a corner for Scott Fox’s save from James Forrest was his most bizarre.

     

     

    Paul Larkin has mentioned in his Asterix years book about how refs in the Lanarkshire Referee Association, seem to progress quicker than others. No need to guess who is very influential at the Lanarkshire Referee Association.

    I think Murray dumped the ‘Aye Ready’ motto years ago and replaced it with just ‘Ready’, in an apparent effort to make ra Rainjurrz seem less parochial. See, it was always about appearance over substance – hubris, no more and no less.

     

     

    Hopefully MASH has the rights over the whole bally lot of them – Ready, Aye Ready,Ready or Not Here I Come, Oven Ready, Ready Teddy Go, Haud oan we wurnae Ready…
