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.

    A great Grand National in prospect. So many with chances. I’ve got The Druid’s Friend at 33/1 but as it’s a Saturday, I’m going for Nicholls

    Just finished putting on the National bets …my family produced a significant list.. Didn’t come with as much as a shilling to cover the bets

     

     

    Two fancies

     

     

    Cause of Causes and Alvarado

     

     

    Going with Alvarado

     

     

    GL and HH

  5. Twists & turns.

     

     

    Not in the naps comp,but I’ve bet a 100/1 shot Rubi Light Fancy it a bit on form from a couple of years back. I think it just has to get round and finish in the first 5 to make some cash.

  6. Picked Spring heeled in the sweepstake draw so

     

    That saves me using my few remaining braincells to study form :)))))))))))))

     

    SPRING HEELED(National) for me.

  7. Punters dilemma…

     

     

    for some bizarre reason, the Oddschecker website listed my Grand National pick – Portrait King – as a non-runner this morning. As a result, I switched to Cause of Causes for my CQN nap…

     

     

    Now I heat that Portrait King actually runs… what to do… what to do ?

     

     

    :s

    He has gone for Hernandez Torres in 605 at Newcastle although he and his mate Franny have went for Alvarado in big race

     

     

    Cannae keep up wae the tyre bhoys

    I am following the law of 1st instincts…

     

     

    My nap for today is : Portrait King in the Grand National !

     

     

    I now fully expect Cause of Causes to win by 10 lengths…

     

     

    :)

     

     

    Cheers, fleagle1888
