I was discussing Beram Kayal during the week, specifically how he was keeping Victor Wanyama out of the Celtic team before that ‘tackle’ from Rangers’ McCulloch put him out of action for months. The player has never recovered his form but has never had a sustained run in the team either.
Nir Biton has made the holding position his own in recent weeks and, as a consequence, we’ve watched his form improve. News that he picked up an injury when playing for Israel against Slovakia last week, which is likely to disrupt his appearances for weeks, has come at the worst possible time. If he is to make this position his own, he needs performances between now and the end of the season.
Young players especially need games to reinforce their craft and build confidence, as well as to ensure fitness.

“”Claire, where is my passport?” I was frantic now as I pleaded with my wife. She must know I thought. Claire, my wife of twelve years, suffers my trips away to support Celtic without a single moan. Not this time though as Claire would not give me her blessing to go on this trip telling me that our bakery was now at critical point, busy and with too many European away days this year they had taken their toll.”

CowieBhoy, correct.
SOAL, pegs all ready, cash only deals though, no credit.
Or even the CQN, “All Celtic Fans Against the Bill” banner.
If I’m allowed.
HT
have you managed to get down to Rhu for a pint in the Rhu Inn? Great wee pub.
So sad to hear of big George’s passing and shocked at such a young age.Spent many a night in Jintys singing along with the locals to good old Irish tunes.RIP big man.Thoughts with his friends and family. YNWA.
Mickbhoy1888-i remember taking my 5 year old to school in Kings Park the day after,the playground was packed with parents not wanting to let go of their kids when the bell rang at 9 o’ clock.

Ole alkie Winston was certainly no friend of the working classes,but some of his quotes were worth a chuckle…..

Some of those were brilliant.
Mind you,I should come clean.
I`m a fan of Churchill.
Macjay,
It depends on interpretation. Certainly, the West betrayed the East and allowed the fascist Communists to reign over the area. The West had its reasons though. It is difficult to comprehend that they trusted the Communists so much though; naturally, the Communists reneged on any notion of democracy.
We disagree on Kiev. One cannot dispute that there are fascists in the protest movement.
Take care Macjay.
Great night tonight in the company of some great CQN’rs. In no particular order Oldtim, Mr.Z, El Diego Bhoy, MWD, Blantyre Tim. Thanks for a great evening lads. EDB. THANKS FOR DINNER.
TimsinOhio, I thought MWD was only staying for one!?!

I don`t disagree in the slightest.
All I am saying is that it was not the fault of the BRITISH govt.
At Yalta,Britain had no power and no influence.
I have no clue about whether there are fascists in the protest movement in Kiev.So,I can`t express any opinion.
I think Putin is a fascist,however.
Crimea ……………..Russian speakers.
Sudetenland………..German speakers.
My interpretation is that the Soviets ,apart from being the ones who actually won the war more than any other, drove the nazis out of the eastern european countries and then held on to them as a buffer zone as much as anything. I think Russia lost something like 27million so they were gonna make sure that didnt happen again. The blame for the fate of the east europe should be laid at Hitlers door. Like wise the crimes against humanity that the Isrealis are now committing. It all goes back to the evil of one man.
Doc, Eddie and TTT. I chose to work tomorrow to save myself the pain from the late night Corinthian visit. Doc & TTT see you in BV tomorrow afternoon about 3.45.
TimsinOhio, see you in the pub.
Did MWD only have 1?:-)
Macjay1
Youve not been following the Ukraine situation closely then. The main body of violent rioters who were attacking the police day after day,week after week, were real bona fide facists with swastica armbands and armed with guns clubs and all-sorts. They have been rewarded by being given positions of power in the new so-called government. Its no wonder that the Russians are concerned by whats going on on their doorstep.
OK
Paul67
Your a star
I know you have a busy day
but thanks for the blog
and you know i canny post a lot of words
LOVE
Bamboo,
They did not hold those countries for that reason. You are being too kind to them.
Your logic about Hitler being to blame for the fate of the Eastern countries obviously has some resonance as that particular area suffered most of all. However, why did Hitler declare war on the Soviet Union? He hated Communists and Slavs. Had the Communists not existed then Hitler would not have been able to hate them. That sort of logic isn’t very useful in my opinion.
You highlighted Israel for some reason. I invite you to mention the Islamic fascists who cause chaos in the world: afterall they are mistreating people. Quite why people are so fixated on Israel I don’t know… It wouldn’t be would it? No surely not. Not after The horrors of The Holocaust and all that went before it.
Timsinohio,
probably a wise decision re tonight.
It’ll be a wee bit later probs around 4.15 before we arrive.
But definitely see you there!
HAIL! HAIL!

Sadly, naw Eddie!!
Basically on duty 24 hours a day but it’s worth it to see their wee faces when I wake them up singing The Celtic Song every morning!! :-)
TTT
You no called off yet :-)
Bamboo,
Just to be clear, I am not saying that you are anti-Semitic. My point was general.
I am interested in your thoughts about Russia. Why do you take such an interest if I may ask? It is unusual to see a pro Russian poster.

Your use of the word fascist is indiscriminate to the point of incoherence.
And by the way, the Palestinians weren’t responsible for the Holocaust.
HT, if he calls of now he won’t get a CQteN badge!
Was at CowieBhoys tonight, handing over tickets, he’ll be at yours at 18:30.
Sure he will have sent you a text.
BTW, interviews Monday.

Bhoys and Ghals.
I have a spare ticket for CQN 10 for tomorrow night .
On a separate note I also have 2 spare tickets for the match at Killie.
Any interested parties can get my email from Paul 67.
I will also look back in here from time to time.
……………………………………
Tiny Tim,
I realise you’d possibly be happier shifting both tickets for Rugby Park, however I would take one of them if you wouldn’t mind.
I’ll email Paul with my details.
For HT.
John O’Neil
Well I’m not anti-semetic , if thats what you were inferring .
I think the Isreali goverment are criminals . Theres many Jews who are disgusted by them too. Gaza is an absolute outrage .
tinytim, sorry about the Tiny Tim.
Magma 67
Thanks so much for the video of the big man…..what a very appropriate song for a night like this. Hope we don’t get another row for sharing the memories of a legend,a real Celtic man.
Thanks again.

Bamboo, why the special attention for Israel? There is a lot of carnage in the world. Why Israel?
You mentioned Israel’s war crimes. When people blow up innocent people, do you also consider that to be a crime? These issues are never black and white. It is not difficult to swallow a neat and precise interpretation of such conflicts, but such interpretations are neat and precise for a reason: they are too simplistic.
Anyway, it was not my intention to post about this topic.
Enjoy the CQNten time everybody,
Ernie, I can’t be bothered with you tonight. Go to sleep.
Funny at work today when the token hun came in smiling n happy about his clumpany’s league win. The English Tim gaffer asked him “Does that get you into Europe? Eurodisney wi Mickey Mouse.” :)))
Rest in Peace you Bonny little babies from Dunblane.
I couldn’t stop crying when my 5 year old came home from her own school that day.
Andy Murray still carries the scars to this day too,as he was there that day,as a 7 year old boy.
God bless you too Andy for all the courage and dignity you have shown since.
May perpetual light shine upon their souls.
RIP little angels.
Doc
Yep we sorted arrangements earlier. What interview mate??
HT, DHT, ask for a question. Or an insight to what would get the best from applicants.
John O’Neil
Our posts crossed. I just truly believe that in this case its not the Russians who are the bad guys. Ive heard many political analysts discussing this crisis and I come to my own conclusions. The Russians shouldnt be our enemies any more. They are now a capitalist country ,gradually reforming and yet the old cold war mentality is still coming from the west.
