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.

  1. TET

     

     

    Your usual good humour has been under some strain recently and that is fully understandable. I hope your better half’s health improves sufficiently to set you back on a more even keel. Good luck to you both

    “All i will say on the matter is that Men will do what they Think will Benefit Them…Conspiracy…No”

     

     

    Now that is more reasonable and less goading. You have been asking every one else to supply you with proof of the conspiracy but you did not sound like a man that it would be worthwhile to lay such evidence in front of. You sounded closed minded.

     

     

    Therefore, I would ask you to explain to those of us who think they were clearly favoured, what is your explanation for the course of events over the past 20 years.

     

     

    Why was CO not sacked when all this came to light?

     

     

    Why was LNS such a willing dupe?

     

     

    Why did Sandy Bryson present his evidence in a way contrary to all previous SFA interpretations of the registration rules?

     

     

    These were not, I believe, individual errors or actions, free from orchestration.

     

     

    I am, however, open to an alternative explanation of how they came about.

     

     

    I am generally sceptical of most common conspiracy theories but it is a logical fallacy merely to state that, since most conspiracy theories are risible and illogical, this one must be too.

     

     

    I’m off for ac up of tea but I’ll be back shortly to see what kind of argument you can mount in favour of your own views

    All non dafties who infiltrate on here should be barred!!!

    DD,

    “Stop taking yourself too seriously pal. Please stop patronising me. Not the first time you have done so. Do you think I am a daftie? ;)”

     

     

     

    Nope- never my intention

     

     

    How about you stop being defensive and seeing slights where none was offered. Deal with the argument! Play the ball and not the man! I never made any personal argument against you.

     

     

    Now why do you think that all these posters, who have been using the phrase Radio Shortbread for years on here, Yes voters and No voters alike, have not intended any slur against the country but have been aiming at the radio and TV station at Pacific Quay?

    Suggests installing Adblock, follow his link would be a great idea https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?hl=en this may stop you inadvertently clicking on anything dodgy in the future.

     

     

    I assume you are using a decent Anti-Virus progam like Avast! or AVG or similar.

     

    If you are still having problems after Malwarebytes and Adblock I would switch to Firefox as a browser (what I use). You can import all your bookmarks when you set it up.

    Due largely to the sudden rainy squalls.

     

     

    But the Scottish lassies can aye keep her laddie warm

    I’m being told blue flares were used by sevco fan(nies) tonight …… and…….a mobile phone was also thrown onto the park after one of the goals was scored …… I trust the meeja and the football authorities will act accordingly….!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. TET …i read up to…WHY WAS LNS such a willing Dupe…I think accusing LNS..of being a WILLING Dupe..That is an Accusation ….Might get you in Trouble…Its insinuating Colusion…#St Augustineslawyer…

  11. I will go to bed happy tonight.Just when I thought the Huns luck had changed we get the Ashley news today.Then tonight a proper banjoing from wee Queens(far too many of that team with Timmy names).The show goes on it seems.Could run longer than “The Mousetrap”.

     

    Thought the young Ref was excellent tonight.Quiet and efficient.

     

     

    Weefra.So happy you are settled.Upheaval the last thing you needed.Hopefully meet you in May.

    I don’t think Uefa have any jurisdiction over lower league football offences in Scotland .

     

     

    Good point about the mobile phone – it should be given to Stuart McCall to allow him to arrange return and apologise to the zombie for tonight’s abject performance

  14. 67Heaven .. CHALLENGING THE LIE ..I am wee Oscar...... Ipox belongs to the creditors on

    Right, what the heck has happened to RES 12 ?…… The last we heard, it was progressing….that was ages ago, and I get the distinct impression it’s being brushed under the same carpet as BDO and the HMRC appeal ……what is going on, CELTIC Board ?….I can understand that you are charged with managing CELTIC, and not with going to war with the Scottish Football authorities and / or sevco….BUT……you did take Auldheid, Canamalar etc into your confidence , stating that you were dealing…..THAT was a year ago…..!!??

  15. havent been able to log on all day
