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.

    Was speaking about Gollum last night ,

     

    ALLEGEDLY when Dallas got sacked ,Gollum was the spokesman for the refs crew and told Regan if he gave Dallas his job back he would call off the strike,

    leftclicktic-heard that too mate.Dallas last 2 to be fast tracked before he was bagged,were MacLean and Madden.

  5. !!Bada Bing!! on

    I wonder how the referees feel about Dallas Jr,being fast tracked to FIFA/UEFA list,when he has taken charge of less than a dozen SPFL games.What is this appointment based on? Dallas may have left the building,but i’m sure he still has an influence on Scottish football.

    The first Gaelic football team in England was started by Mick Mccarthy’s dad.

  7. Well off to a flyer at Aintree.I got the 1st of a double with Clarcam,my second is Hargam.I dont usually bet doubles,but I could only get evens this morning on Hargam,so went for the double.Only £20 double,but I got Clarcam at 7/1 this morning,so £160 going on at evens.

     

    Fingers crossed.

     

    Raging I did not take Clarcam single.Not like me normally.

     

    For Punters only this post.

    “MacLean and Madden”

     

     

    Bada,

     

     

    Imo they are the best two refs we have by some distance.

    Regarding Guidetti…

     

     

    I’d keep….on our terms.

     

     

    There’s a player in there and quite a character too.

     

     

    If some of his team mates were as selfless as him he’d have doubled his current goal tally.

  10. Garden done. . Well some of it.

     

    Congratulations to Four Green Fields on a magnificent podium..

     

     

    Still got the wee fellow, will I go to the pub tonight. .. three letter answer’s on a postcard.

     

     

    Ayrshire is Green and White

    micktt

     

    Yes yes and yes again

     

    I’ve got mini and friends on a sleepover so a few beers will drown out the noise I hope

  12. Thought last nights performance was satisfactory more than brilliant but at this stage of season satisfactory and 3 points is what its all about. Aberdeen are still hanging around not close enough to worry us but close enough to ensure that we still have a job to do, in every League game we play.

     

    The real big game coming up is the Cup Semi but Saturday away to the same opponents will also be a big test. In the first place we need the 3 points to stop Aberdeen from getting notions and secondly to lay down a marker for the semi.

  13. Fancy a flutter on the Masters? Coral are offering triple odds for new customers. I got 30/1 Bubba Watson. Max stake is only £5, but, only 1 pick allowed.

    Zombie on Big mike owning everything of sevco

     

     

    “If this is true the RFFF money should be used to go after whoever signed this deal. ”

     

    “Why do they not buy Ashley out. Solve the problem.”

     

    It must be one of you lot tormenting them :))))

     

    Till later all.

  20. Geordie Munroe,

     

     

    I have said,our best ref is Madden.Watch him with the players.Talks to them,has a laugh with them.No sign of the aloofness like some.Always fair,and not too many mistakes,which you would expect.

     

    But sadly,not for some on here.

  21. Geordie

     

     

    Spaghetti Juction? :-)

     

     

    Cool strip tho. The boy looks like a player. Rotten right enough but he looks the part.

  22. Stunning move by SportsDirect, who now own rights to use the word ‘Rangers’ with pretty much anything a football team would want to be/use.

     

     

    Complete silence so far from those who have been busy churning out PR for King, who most certainly came off worst in the battle with Ashley.

    Things are becoming clearer.

     

     

    Their move to criminalise us using the word ‘Hun’ is now explained:

     

     

    It’s the only term of reference to themselves they have left.

     

     

     

    Huns Then. Huns Now. Huns Forever.

    So why haven`t we been making tens of millions all these years ?

     

     

    We have to be honest.

     

     

    Not the last few, but given these things dont really depreciate, the value of them over a period of 10 years would be substantial.

     

     

    The JJB deal, as unrealistic as it was for the current time period demonstrates the kinda value a trademark can hold.

     

     

    Worryingly, this is Ashleys thing. He buys undervalued brands and exploits them for SD. If he does indeed now hold these rights, then we just cant make money from merchandising our own brand until he decides to sell them back to us. Buying strips will not see money going to the club.

     

     

    We will have to pay Ashley for the right to call ourselves Rangers, or wear the badges.

     

     

    Its not even outwith the relms of possibility that he can just refuse to allow us to play as Rangers.

     

     

    We are in a very dangerous position, and if this is the case, then he still does have all the power.

    As I keep saying.Who cares if King is deemed FAP.MA has this mob sewn up.

     

    Lots of fun ahead.

  26. Is this true re big Mike the tim owning the word ‘rangers’ in relation to sevco??

     

     

    If so, it looks like the huns took a knife to a gunfight after all.

     

     

    Big Mike has just wiped the floor with them!

     

     

    I fully expect the press to be all over this. Ahem.

     

     

    Now, where’s that office hun? The wee troll has been getting lippy and answering back the last 2 weeks, what with beating Cowdenbeath and all. Time to put him back in his wee hun box. :)
