Bet your novelty duck there are lessons to be learned

1033

Celtic probably anticipated the three match suspension Uefa imposed on Scott Brown following his red card for an off the ball incident against Barcelona, if they didn’t, they should have.  That’s not to say the decision is not “harsh”, as the club described it, as far as off the ball incidents go, this was a lesser offence, but it was a red card awarded for an off the ball incident nonetheless.

Are there lessons to be learned?  You can bet your novelty Celtic duck on it.

No more on this, or injuries, until late next week.  Absolute focus is required on the task ahead.  Ajax will arrive in town on Monday low on confidence, let’s take them.

A CQN’er has kindly donated two tickets for Tuesday’s game at Celtic Park against Ajax for the 1254125 appeal.  You can bid for them by silent auction by emailing your bid to ajax@celticquicknews.co.uk.

Please include telephone contact details.  Auction will close at 19:00 on Sunday.  The winning bidder will be notified on Sunday evening, tickets need to be paid for directly to the 1254125 MyDonate campaign before 12:00 on Monday or the tickets will be offered to an alternative bidder.

Many thanks for participating.

    Weefra, cheers. I’d love a couple of dugs but I’m not there permanently yet. It’ll be another five or six year before that happens. When I do move there to live I’ll be getting myself another Ridgeback, maybe even a pair. Nobody looks sideways at you when you have a ridgeback. Smashing dugs.

     

     

    Anyway, that was last week. This week is about Hibs and Ajax. Let the games commence. Huv we goat a team to field?…………..:_))

    The list of people that are linked in to the paedophile network just goes on and on and imo the msm scratch the surface,

     

     

    it is horrifying in the extreme.

     

     

    And seems to have been going on for generations.

    Garcia – great story – i grew up in Cramond Street.

     

     

    SFTB – you express every opinion that i have, and you express it more eloquently. I never really noticed you before you did your sabbatical, but thank goodness you’re back. Political Correctness eh – an insult used against people who objected to the most vile language about black or disabled people – well I’ve got your back, and welcome back.

  6. Tom McLaughlin @ 01:49

     

     

    Still not making any sense at all?!

     

     

    You are encouraged because you have fholk who believe and substantiate your theory regarding the Hamilton affair. So do I.

     

     

    But you don’t get my point – you dismiss every other notion of a conspiracy theory as nonsense? I’ve an open mind, and have the sense not to make final judgements on things I haven’t seen. I’m asking you to explain your aggression against other “theories” which you dismiss as nonsense when you are no wiser than me? A fair point, surely?

  7. Acgr

     

     

    YES indeed they are superb animals. Never owned them ourselves, but knew pub owners who owned them. Swore by them as the best investment they ever made. You know the rest, the best of luck is offered to you from this wee poultry fermer. Go for it kiddo. :))

    Zimmerman, are you saying that’s the reason for the hundred year block on the details?

     

     

    The sooner Big Nan’s petition is full to the max with signatures then we may at least have a way to prevent masonic injustices, of which Dunblane is clearly one.

     

     

    Have you signed the petition?

  9. ACGR Supporting Big Nan’s Reveal the Masonic Judge Petition on

    Weefra, I had a ridgeback bitch who unfortunately went to the fire last year. A very lovely animal she was too and extremely protective. The dogs are app 10 Kg heavier but the females will protect to the death. She saved my sons life when he was attacked by two german shepherds, tore them to shreds before I could even swing a boot at them.

     

     

    I’d love another one right now but mrs acgr isnay having it. Whit a cow she can be at times……………………….:_((

     

     

    I’m continually working at it though:-)

    FFM

     

     

    I was gonna suggest that,bud!

     

     

    The whole immigration debate is one which I find difficult to fathom,bearing in mind our pride in “The Scots-Irish Diaspora”

  22. FFM –

     

     

    I wasn’t aware that I “aggressively” dismissed any conspiracy theories. I might have stated a straightforward “I don’t believe” but then again, I guess in your logic, any dismissal would be seen as aggressive.

     

     

    For your information, when the Moon Hoax theory first came out, I was fascinated and upon examining it closely, including watching the movie, I bought it. I believed the Americans had indeed faked the moon landings. Why? Because the conspiracy theory was all too convincing.

     

     

    Then something happened. A few years later, I started examining all the points made by the Moon Hoax movie. I now had an “open mind” as you call it. I attended a seminar by Ben Goldacre. He systematically debunked every point raised by the Moon Hoax conspiracy. He did it scientifically, with demonstrations to prove his hypotheses. He answered every question raise by the authors of this particular conspiracy theory.

     

     

    So I changed my mind. I believed a conspiracy theory, then changed my mind when someone explained all the answers to all the questions. Simple.

     

     

    Finally, how childish does one need to be to say . . . you refused to believe in my conspiracy theories, so I’m not going to believe any of yours.

     

     

    Grow up son.

  23. BMCUW,

     

     

    Immigration. Ferkin laugh. How dare we stop families from countries which we STILL rape and pillage from coming here to avoid us bombing them and …..[insert monstrosity] .

     

     

    An Iraqi family, stopped at the airport in 2001 – “we hate Saddam, please give us asylum” – “Naw ya ragheid scrounger, take yer family back and prepare to have you, your young weans, and your brothers’ and sisters’ weans bombed – we’re doing it for your own good, democracy and what not, ya ragheid..”

     

     

    Biggest laugh the rest of Europe has at the UK is this issue. We are a shower of fudwits, and so are all the countries we successfully colonised. The rest of the world looks on in contempt at the stupidity we display along with the USA.

     

     

    Arsehole of a country, whether independent or not.

     

     

    And ye olde Scots patriots can feck off as well.

     

     

    We have been more responsible for all this than the English if you look at it pro rata. We weren’t forced to unify in 1603. We CHOSE to do so.

     

     

    And then went on to be the best weapon the British Empire ever had.

     

     

    Independence?? Hah! I say, shut us all down and payback what we took from the rest of the world. Aye, scarey thought.

     

     

    Apols BMCUW, you know not a go at you, just a rant about the lack of truth being discussed.

     

     

    Am going to reply to GCT now then call it a night …. I think…. :)))
