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.

    Very true, obviously if Paul Murray spent more time going through the conditions of the loans to his Company and less time on social media he would have known.

     

     

    “The devil is in the detail of the conditions of his loan facility, but Sports Direct has a floating charge as well as security over Murray Park, Edmiston House, the Albion Car Park and the club’s registered trademarks.

    Now all they have to do is pay back Mike Ashley’s loans like they said they would and they get the TMs secured on said loans back.

     

     

    Can’t see a problem, can you:-?

     

     

    Hail Hail

    Some superb posts regarding the game last night and I especially liked ‘glendalystonsils’ where he said Willie Collum’s trick was that he could make his mistakes/mibbery look like incompetence.

     

     

    It actually occurred to me last night at the game that the SFA fast tracking of Collum to the top was merely inevitable for a four eyed referee that didn’t wear glasses. He must have been less the a few metres when James Forrest shot was saved by Scott Fox pushing the ball away for a corner.

     

     

    Collum looks staright through fouls on Celtic players and sees nothing.

     

     

    Does the SFA teach these skills in the ole school of Dallas Alan Muir did exactly the same thing ‘twice’ with clear corners for Celtic on Friday night at St.Mirren Park.

     

     

    Nobody could be that incompetent, do these things still even themselves out over the season when the trebles on?

    Thanks for the TOKEn offer but I don’t even do hash cakes :(

     

     

    I’m sure you will like the wee gift which I bought in Goa but despite that I’m not a Indian Giver ;)

  17. Having a quick read at RM, they haven’t really grasped the full implications of MA owning the trademarks.

  18. Winning Captains, condolences to you all.

     

    May Margaret Rest in Peace.

     

    Tell Karen I’m thinking of her.

    After my burger last night I had 2 pies at half time.

     

    On my own tonight so just had a Chinese.

     

     

    I’m well short of moral high ground!

     

     

    Anyway it’s not me that’s troubling you. It’s yon poor wee alveoli of yours that you’re popping like bubble wrap. Aaaaaaah! Don’t kill us!!!!!!!

     

     

    ;-)

  20. Winning Captains,

     

     

    So sorry to hear of your loss. Doubly so for me when a ‘Margaret’ passes away – my own wife (born, Mairead in Tipperary many a year ago) only goes by the name Margaret now in modern Scotland so I appreciate your affinity.

     

     

    God bless Margaret and all her lineage.

    Btw .. Was chatting to an engineer on my new place last week .. He’s from Barrhead

     

     

    He knew jim and Vinny c

     

     

    Saw him tonight and he said he was talking to Vinny at the weekend ..

    Has Dave King ‘jetted in’ yet?

     

     

    Hilarious stuff and faux outrage about Mike Cashley ‘stealing’ the naming rights. This is old news, but it’s o.k. Paul Murray will sort it out.

     

     

    *just like he did when Rangers got liquidated*

  23. Winning Captain & Karen

     

     

    Sincere condolences to your entire family

     

     

    May Margaret Rest in Peace, and Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Her Soul

     

     

    Can I add, please remember your Bhoy is also now a teenager, something worth celebrating and a legacy of his Gran

     

    So Happy Birthday WC Junior

     

     

    Hail Hail

  24. TBJ..

     

     

    I’ll need to give JC a bell…hope he read the books I gave him on his retirement.

     

     

    As for Vinny he’s out the place like a two bob rocket in the morning.

     

     

    Might be more hitting the fan in there next week… The top yank is back over on Sunday.

  25. Delaneys Dunky on

    TBJ

     

     

    Hahaha. Was the cookie option.

     

    Your gift to James was a belter. Was looking round the Stadium to see him fly it last night.

     

    One Love! Indeed bud.

     

    Hail Hail

  26. Sipsini

     

     

    That’s no far from the truth to be honest. I gave up on my Michelin Star notions years ago :-)

     

     

    The folk I know who’ve chucked it cite the fact that they feel Celtic have stood by and let the huns cut about with their false advertising, 5 stars and we feel they’ve basically gotten away with the scandal. Of course. Coppers watching your every move puts people off also. Another thing that our custodians signed up to.

     

     

    Money is of course an issue for most, but I don’t think it’s the main factor. I feel that the sport has been taken over by money. Speaking to others Im not alone in that opinion. I’ll always love Celtic, but is it still the Celtic I love? I’ve got my doubts.

  27. emeraldbee\o/ still proud to be an internet bampot

     

     

    We’re in the moral high ground low country together then. Pure hoachin with fellow CQNers me thinks.

     

     

    HH jamesgang

  28. Twas indeed a belter.

     

    And one for which I’m very grateful.

     

     

    Might be the 1st person about here to have a Marley Gazebo!
