My initial reaction to a Sunday 12:00 kick off time is not positive. It’s out of routine, so there’s an inherent objection, but as I don’t have a long journey to Celtic Park it may end suit me better than a later kick off.
Fans who travel from great distances will have the inconvenience of an early rise, but some, who are dependent on public transport, will be prevented from attending, which is never a scenario to be treated lightly.
I see a bit of angst against James Forrest over his decision to reject a new Celtic contract and opt instead to leave the club when his contract expires next year, if not before. I don’t think we’ve seen the best of James. When he arrived in the team in the wake of Aiden McGeady’s departure he was on fire, but the intervening years have not been kind.
Injury has robbed him of a regular starting place, and a fair bit of form when he does get in the team. Sean Maloney was in a similar position a few years back. Injured for long periods, even when he was fit he was often a substitute. He needed to leave Celtic Park for a fresh start. Had he stayed, I don’t think he would have rediscovered his early peaks. Putting all emotive issues aside, James Forrest looks like a player in need of a fresh start.
He’s not alone, of course.
Barcelona president, Josep Maria Bartomeu took a shot across Uefa bows when he told the BBC he wants big (trans: rich) clubs who fail to qualify for the Champions League to be given wild card access. Make no mistake, this is a follow up to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge’s recent utterances on creating a closed-shop tournament.
Bartomeu also said he views the FA Premier League as the biggest threat to Barcelona, which is 100% true. When teams like Bayern Munich and Barcelona coordinate statements on structural change you know that profound moves are underway.
I’m all for change, Celtic have much to gain, but we need to organise quickly. Find similar allies – big clubs from Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Turkey and Portugal – and plan accordingly. Europe’s major clubs are each leaving hundreds of millions of TV money on the table each year because of the existing league and European tournament structures.
England has opened their eyes to what is possible. Change of some sort is inevitable now the ball is in play.

Have many of you seen this?
Marspapa
See you in the Vaults Hamilton. I hope to be there 6.30 on Friday.
Hail Hail
Bournes then yes indeed we do need to disagree. Perhaps you should tell the board to drop their slogan then.
Incidentally as per some of my exchanges last night there are plenty of excellent people in Scotland of all hues. That doesn’t stop Scotland being a racist country.
Clunks
190k by the number of views.
I originally saw it when I attended a preview of Lord of the Wing.
Is like to know how Celtic can do more to tackle sectarianism or religious segregation in all the far flung corners of Bonnie Scotland.
We are already a club open to all.
We have the Celtic Foundation providing charitable assistance and support to other charities irrespective of colour, religion or nationality.
Our players come from around the world with no thought of colour, religious or political persuasion.
We stand out like a lighthouse for the rest of the country.
It’s up to the rest of the country to follow suit.
You can take a horse to water but you can’t force it to drink.

The Donald is he related to the Kojo?
Who we all miss….
Clunks
The Donald reads like Kojo wannabe The Singing Detective. The most racist poster CQN has had.
DD
yeah they all copy the style and rhythm of Kojo.
Maybe they lack the depth and soul that he had.
Which is why they come across as racist and crass, as they lack the experience and depth
Reiver, Time to start a petition to strip SDM of his ‘title’.
5 years ago today I posted this on CQN:
Nothing is going to happen to Rangers in a permanent death way.
The old firm will survive if the SFA, SPl and the Celtic bored have anything to say about it.
So thats then.
Lets talk about Global warming or house insurance?
Next.

Visionary eh?

Good morning friends from a cold and cloudy East Kilbride where we start the day with a light blanket of powdery snow on the ground. Unsure of how many sleeps till Christmas but only 2 more till we all get to see The Champions play.
*** LAST MAN STANDING 7 ***
Still time to join the ever groing clique ;-). We now have 88 trying to become the last (wo)man standing. Given the rollover from the last competition we are talking about a prize pot of over £1,000. And of course, significant furtehr help for Wee Shay.
So don’t delay, do it today and come on in and play! Just drop an “I’m in” email to cqnpredictor@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you tonight.
MASTY on 23RD FEBRUARY 2016 3:13 PM
Right now I am quite happy to let them think what they want, after the court cases auldhied seems confident he can hole them below the water line, that’ll do for me, for now.

I agree with you 100% fella.
A lot of very sharp / clever / savvy folk involved in this and, silence and faith in justice being done and, the real truth coming out should be the order of the day.
But, heaven forbid….what if it all goes Pete Tong ?
What then ?
