13 June and Celtic have signed a striker! Do we have some important games coming up early in the season? 6’4” Amido Balde joined Sporting Lisbon three years ago but never made an appearance for the club.
After three loan deals he joined Vitoria Guimaraes a year ago, where he caught the eye of Celtic scouts. At 22-years-old, he is right in the sweet spot of Celtic’s recruitment strategy: fully developed physically, old enough to be considered prime first team material but with many years of prime football ahead.
Playing for Celtic is quite different than playing for Vitoria Guimaraes, so it may take Amido a period of adjustment to settle into life as a Glasgow sporting celebrity, but he is clearly the man Neil Lennon and the scouts wanted. Based on that, I’m happy.
Despite what could be described as cover, and the fact that the player has declined a new contract, I’m still not happy to sell Gary Hooper. We have lots to do this summer before that moves up the agenda.
Welcome to Celtic, Amido.
The raffle for a signed Celtic top in aid of 1254125 ends early tomorrow morning. THIS IS THE LAST CALL FOR TICKETS, which cost only £1 each. Get in there…..
Pick up a book, Heart of a Lion, a manual, if you like, on how it’s done here:

I see the zombies on zm are obsessed by cqns obsession to the zombies. !!!!!!!
We all have been reading SFTB dissect all our various idiosyncratic traits we display on CQN in his extensive lexicon blog, have those good chaps at Rm hit the nail on the head ¬………….
F***wit rodents quick news .What a pathetic bunch of human excrement these mutants must be .
A wee song for the bhoys n ghirls of CQN

67 in the heat of Lisbon,
Fans came in their thousands
to see the bhoys become champions
:>)
Moonbeams are ye out there?
What happened to the mega million casino complex?
Seen as Uncle Jobo is in Fife with a huge hangover.
I can report it is hissing it down here in East Kilbride.
As we decide what is our most water proofy clothing we have for today at Glesga Green.
One love

Hoooops wrang Moonbeams
MWD text ye!
Wot! No Sir Wattie.
Can only be midsummer madness.
Or something.

The movie is more than good, but the books… the books will make your cry.
And you are right, the KKK did offer to better every dollar raised in support of the right of Catholics to attend mass by contributing ten of their own.
There is not too much I want to do before my time comes, but I hope I get the opportunity to go to this memorial:
Blessed Jose Sanchez del Rio – Grave site
Morning all. Lashing here. Are there any wee walks around here? Hope they get drenched.
Hope the sun is shining on those climbing Ben Nevis.

Just fantastic, honoured by the crown for the persecution of the Celtic support.
A great CQN day at Aberdour yesterday – thanks to all involved in making it such a fine gathering. It was wonderful to hear Willie Wallace talk of the Lions and Jock Stein, of football past and present. A true Celtic legend and a man who still loves our club even after so many years away.

Just for you sir!
Celtic Celtic
Aye its Celtic, Celtic that’s the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the scottish football league
They come from bonnie Scotland, they come from county Cork,
They come from dear old Donegal and even from New York,
From every street in Glasgow they proudly make their way,
To a place called dear old paradise and this is what they say.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the scottish football league.
Well,.. there’s Fallon, Young and Gemmell who proudly wear the green,
There’s Clark, McNeill and Kennedy the best there;s ever been,
Jim Johnstone, Murdoch, Chalmers, Johnny Divers and John Hughes,
And a hundred thousand Celtic fans who proudly shout the news.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the scottish football league.

The KKK of America offered ten dollars of their own against the KoC (America) every dollar raised, to deny Catholics (in Mexico) the right to attend mass. The Knights of Columbus came up with the money – the KKK didn’t.
Parallels?

Will you be posting some pics of the event?
There were some crackers last year, I liked the one with oldtim and the crate of beer :>)

Bhoys – I have an adult and a child ticket going gratis to the lion’s roar event in the kerrydale on Friday 21st and a 1 adult 1 child room at the prem inn in sunny cambuslang to go free aswell for that . if anybody wants them paul67\mods could give you my email. I got not good health news this week – having a ct scan on the Friday, would hate to see a night in cambuslang go to waste
Vmhan,
I will – got a whole bunch of photos to sport out over the weekend from a couple of events, but hopefully have something up tomorrow
Quonno,
Sadly, the revelation from LNS that Wattie failed to gain any sporting advantage from a £40 warchest may have proved fatal to his hopes.
His only chance now is that Minty’s is Tuped over to him when finally stripped.;)

Morning All
Anyone suggest anything that can be taken orally to make you waterproof? Is it wellies or walking boots for the green?

CQN very good reading this morning
Thanks to all who have posted links to further viewing/reading – hadn’t heard death of R O’Bradaigh & did so via the BBC QTime link
Anyway, re knighthood for Stephen House – it appears to be customary for all outgoing Chief Constables of Strathclyde Police to be awarded this trinket of their busted empire. I don’t think it is a particularly significant endorsement of him or his time in office.
Have a dry Saturday y’all
Jackie Mac
Good Luck .
Also a nice gesture.

A year to the day since Richard Wilson, wrote his Herald article,
“140 years of history ended in 9 minutes”
Then obviously someone told him to rewrite history,spin Sevco mince daily,lose respect and readers..
The depths to which SMSM has sunk is
“off the radar”
A year of spin and propaganda and precious little about the honest decent clubs and Celtic s achievements..
We ve done well to keep at them.. Do not fade, we must keep at the SMSM…

Sorry to hear your news of bad health but a great gesture from you.
Keep us informed mate.

The demographic make up of the Members of the Rangers Football Club makes for interesting reading. In 1899, at the advent of the club becoming a Limited Company, shareholder records show that 22.6% of members were Manual-Skilled Workers, 18.8 % were businessmen, 10.2 % Manual Unskilled with ‘Professionals and Gentlemen’ making up 2.3%. White Collar workers made up 8.4% whilst Policemen numbered 0.1%. Proof that Rangers attracted a broad Church of supporters from all walks of life.
I Take it the Other 50% were SFA and Referees..:-))))

jackie mac:
positive thoughts mate, nothing but positive thoughts.
And way so belatedly it is embarrassing… the same applies to my ol’ mucker Gold Coast Tom…
nothing but positive thoughts mate, and a wee prayer for you too. I watched my dad suffer from the same ailment for most of ten years. I hope you just kick the eff out of what is bothering yer health; on my faith and on graves and hearts of those I hold most dear and they be my judge, I hope and pray you are as strong as I believe you are… and then we can both get back to doing what we both do best… supporting our own wee parochial club and community; albeit it not always in accord but sharing the one road nonetheless.
Both of you, and everybody else too, chins up. Smile… your family and friends will adore you for it.
Jackie Mac – fabulous gesture considering others when you have your own problems to confront. Hope it all works out for you.
Roses gig – Ian Brown gave his mate 50 (yes fifty) tickets to distribute to friends for tonight. My jammy wee sister is now going VIP tonight as a result. Hope this bleddy rain stops soon for you all or you’ll need waders!
