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.

  2. TBJ says Wee Oscar Knox is in heaven with the angels on

    Dallas

     

     

    I thought his worse non decision was the foul on Armstrong about 35 yards from CFC goal as Stuart broke forward . He was yards away but waved advantage as Celtic broke into thistle half . It was at the very least a yellow with an option of red

     

     

    The play broke up within two passes then up the other end again . Celtic regained posession and broke forward with Stuart now back up and he then got fouled in the box for our pen and their red card

     

     

    I expected at least a yellow too for the pt player who commited the blatant foul on Stuart when advantage Was played earlier but nothing

     

     

    Unless it was maybe the same player who commited both fouls on sa

    Jim Leighton’s wife is my dad’s cousin’s daughter on my Johnstone granny’s side.

     

     

    My dad’s brothers and sister were all named after my grandad’s & granny’s family members.

     

     

    My dad’s brother, Dan, was named after my granny’s brother, Dan Armour.

     

     

    My Dad’s brother, Jim, was named after my grandad’s and your gran’s brother, James, who lived round the corner from your gran’s house in Johnstone . I vaguely remember going going to see my great Uncle James any time we visited your gran.

     

     

    My dad also had a brother, Willie. A common name in our family. My dad’s and your dad’s cousin, Willie still stays in Johnstone I believe.

    Elbows is banned but maybe they can get a very late appeal in to have the suspension scrubbed after half a match

    Still nothing on the John Guidetti sham trial today?, about now would be the time to put it out.

  17. fieldofdrams on

    OGR, Nae Readies indeed.

     

     

    Even fewer Readies now, as it seems they gave Tempelton a new shirt saying Templeton for the second half but he only lasted ten minutes. What a waste of Readies!

  18. I don’t think Sevco have a monopoly on spelling mistakes. Biton, Bitton? Bloostained?

     

     

    Stones and glass houses.

     

     

    Funny though.

    It was the original ‘eyes in the back of his head ‘ incident which made me think just how cute and clever the man is. He was aware of the bodies in the box and the potential for a penalty. He may just have seen Mcculloch(?) going over out of the corner of his eye without really seeing how it happened. Yet the way he reacted, blowing immediately without even looking to his linesman, as if it was as clear a stonewaller as you could get. The man carries it off better than any other ref.

    Syd, I think Bitton himself changed that spelling – similarly Stilian Petrov became Stiliyan. But Tempelton was just illiterate.

     

     

    Off to watch a great historical docudrama about the Knights Tempelar now.

  23. I stuck the telly on just in time for goal no 2.

     

     

    QoS are a right tidy wee team.

     

    Next year’s Hamilton? Of perhaps the season after.

     

     

    Emilyfaethebrig – welcome to CQN Miss!

     

     

    Cowiebhoy – I’ll pass on your best wishes to Roo.
