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.”

De Valera`s govt.expressed their condolences to the German legation in Dublin on the death of Hitler.
As I said ” eternal shame.”
You are aware that the I.R.A.attempted to assist a German invasion of N.I.?
Against the wishes of the Irish govt.
The point I was making was the distorted view of history based on ideology.
Brit bashing.Often from people who choose to live there.
Germany abandoned plans to invade Britain (Op. Sealion) soon after the Battle of Britain.Hitler`s priority was the Soviet Union.Not Britain and certainly not Ireland.
Bhoys and Ghals.
I have a spare ticket for CQN 10 for tomorrow night .

Which countries entered the war before they were attacked?
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again
never trust a frenchman with a white horse
i have also said that we will be lucky to get 30,000 for the murrayfield games, in fact i reckon the first game will attract 22,607 fans
in a stadium that size it wont make a great spectacle
unlike one half of a great pair of spectacles

I have said everything I want or need to say about this sad subject.
I will leave you with a wee song………
Oh, I’ll tell you a tale of peace and love (Whack fol the diddle o de die do day)
Of a land that reigns all lands above (Whack fol the diddle o de die do day)
May peace and plenty be her share
Who kept our homes from want and care
Oh, God bless England is our prayer (Whack fol the diddle o the die do day)
Chorus..
Whack fol the diddle o de die do day
So we say “hip hooray”
Come and listen while we pray
Whack fol the diddle o de die do day
Now our fathers oft were naughty boys
For pikes and guns are dangerous toys
At Ballinahabwee and at Bunker’s hill
We made poor England cry her fill
But old Brittania loves us still
Chorus
Now, when we were savage, fierce and wild
She came as a mother to her child
She gently raised us from the slime
And kept our hands from hellish crime
And she sent us to heaven in our own good time (Whack fol the diddle o the die do day)
Chorus
Well, now Irish men forget the past
And think of the day that’s coming fast
When we shall all be civilized
Neat and clean and well advised
Oh, won’t mother England be surprised? (Whack fol the diddle o the die do day)
Sydkev,
Indeed. We can add Communists, homosexuals, political prisoners, the disabled and gypsies to the list. Comparisons to Irish matters are quite absurd.

Round about now the Celtic Floodlights being switched on to guide the ole Luftwaffe usually gets a mention.
Maybe a lesson for some younger readers that anti Semitism equated with pro Catholicism…..Wish I had a quid for every time somebody told me this years ago….
After it failed to seize control of the Bavarian state in 1923, the nascent Nazi Party, by that time sharing the Bavarian bishops’ view about the incompatibility of National Socialism and Christianity, no longer wanted to court Catholics.[10]
Hitler wanted to broaden its base. The Party leadership became anti-Catholic (especially attacking the bishops) and its inherent anti-Semitism became more virulent. To counter this, the bishops adopted a conditional ban or prohibition in regard to Catholic membership in the Party, which later (as Nazism spread throughout Germany) varied from diocese to diocese.[11]
Signing of the Reichskonkordat on 20 July 1933. From left to right: German prelate Ludwig Kaas, German Vice-Chancellor Franz von Papen, representing Germany, Monsignor Giuseppe Pizzardo, Cardinal Pacelli, Monsignor Alfredo Ottaviani, German ambassador Rudolf Buttmann.
Pius XI was eager to negotiate concordats with any country that was willing to do so, thinking that written treaties were the best way to protect the Church’s rights against governments increasingly inclined to interfere in such matters. Twelve concordats were signed during his reign with various types of governments, including some German state governments. When Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933 and asked for a concordat, Pius XI accepted. Negotiations were conducted on his behalf by Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, who later became Pope Pius XII (1939–1958). The Reichskonkordat was signed by Pacelli and by the German government in June 1933, and included guarantees of liberty for the Church, independence for Catholic organisations and youth groups, and religious teaching in schools.[12] The German bishops wanted the concordat, and its swift passage gave the new Nazi regime a considerable degree of legitimacy for its good behaving in foreign policy despite its long history of violent rhetoric. Kent says, “Without a doubt, the concordat was a diplomatic victory for Hitler. It was his first major success in the field of foreign policy, and it indicated to the world that the German Chancellor was politically reliable and trustworthy.”[13] Within a few weeks, however, serious friction arose over Nazi threats to the status of the Church. In particular there were issues of the oppression of Catholics of Jewish descent, dismissal of Catholics from the civil service, freedom of expression for Catholic newspapers, pressure on Catholic schools and organizations, sterilization laws, and persecution of nuns and priests.[14]

The Nazis were no friends of the Catholic Church.
A myth some people have.
It really is the ultimate in revisionism for some Huns.
Oh,and Celtic used to put the floodlights on to guide the Luftwaffe bombers,too.
Amazing that there were no floodlights before 1950s,but the Scummy Huns still like to spread their shoite to anyone daft enough to believe them.
I have more or less decided to leave CQN but still enjoy a lurk. Saw macjay’s effort, and realise how little I have in common with him and his ilk. There are many good souls on here that I would be proud to call comrades but there are others that I don’t want to be associated with. Just thought I’d quote a bit from Dev’s speech in response to Churchill.
“Mr. Churchill is proud of Britain’s stand alone, after France had fallen and before America entered the War.
Could he not find in his heart the generosity to acknowledge that there is a small nation that stood alone not for one year or two, but for several hundred years against aggression; that endured spoliation’s, famines, massacres in endless succession; that was clubbed many times into insensibility, but that each time on returning consciousness took up the fight anew; a small nation that could never be got to accept defeat and has never surrendered her soul. “
Vmhan sssh don’t tell him although I think he would tell you I cost him plenty!
As for the CQN non clique attending I hope so that’s my clique :-)
For all those who are thoroughly enjoying the WW2 debate, there are some I’m sure……… Fill yir boots on the Yesterdsy channel right now, the Nazis a warning from history!
4-0 tae the Celts ra morra!
