We’ve been told since the summer not only that this season’s Championship would be more competitive than the Premiership (last week we covered the fact that it’s the least competitive league in Britain), but that the gap between the top of the Championship and the top of the Premiership would be narrow.
Hearts are probably a better team than we’ve seen in our two cup meetings with them this season, but they have proven to be hopelessly ill-prepared to face a European-calibre team. Hamilton, Motherwell, Aberdeen, Inverness and Dundee have all given Celtic vastly more difficult challenges.
Robbie Neilson is doing well and his team will step-up to the Premiership challenge next year but they are not playing week-in-week-out at the pace necessary to tackle Celtic face on, as they did yesterday.
Following on from Saturday’s article, I heard today that Celtic’s relationship with Ujpest Doza, which saw Willie McStay leave his coaching role at Celtic to become Ujpest manager, was ended after complaints to Uefa about what was no more than unofficial links between the clubs. Uefa informed the clubs that only one would be entitled to compete in European competition if their planned extended cooperation took place.
In the event a complaint was made to Uefa, clear blue water would be required between clubs Mike Ashley has an interest in.
Many thanks to the many authors, publishers and bampots in the Celtic community who are now involved with the CQNBookstore, which now had 29 books and DVDs available.
As well as the CQN books, like the CQN Annual, Caesar & the Assassin, Seville, All the Best by Tommy Gemmell and Heart of Lion by Willie Wallace, there’s Cartuja’s Internet Bampots, Paul Dyke’s The Quality St Gang, John Hughes irrepressible autobiography, two books by Ian McCallum on how the Glasgow Irish founded a football club, and on those who went to the Great War, signed copies of Archie Macpherson’s definitive Jock Stein biography, the Sean Fallon and Chris Sutton biographies, an absolute treasure chest of Celtic DVDs and beanie hats for Mary’s Meals!
We’re hoping to add more in due course. Fill your boots.

I’m confident we will be up to at least 45-50k for the next round in February as optimism returns and memories of Seville are rekindled

I’m just wondering if Gomez was having a thought of what was legitimate last week as it happened a few times in the game playing thems, and he said to himself, I’m havin a bit of that, not knowing that only THEMS can do that, the rest have to play by the rules, in more ways than one I may add.

Selfish cow. Dump her now,mate.
Don’t be silly embramike, they’ve already put Sevco v Spartans on the Scottish Cup “draw grid”. We’ll probably get a trip to Dens Park.

Sorted.. not as easy as iphone.
Hopefully get hang of it asap.
Thanks for that
No comment from Paul on the singing of hymns yesterday. I thought it was phenomenal. We are an all inclusive club but few could argue with the sentiment of walk with me oh my lord. Made me smile at the thought of my no long passed Granda enjoying the moment.
Can`t help but think we`ll get another away draw at Tannadice.

Yep, plenty of evidence to suggest our core support who go to games regardless is around the 30k mark.
Ticket sharing is also more prevalent these days as are awkward kick of times and dates along with late rescheduling.

TT, James Forrest on “Fields of Green” website does a rather long and detailed demolition of the notion that Sevco have any chance of getting into Europe anytime soon. Worth a read if you have a spare 20/30 minutes.

I suppose he doesn’t really feature in the press over there as much as he does here. Just thought you might have some prior knowledge of his shenanigans. I must learn not to assume, what’s the old saying?
Anyway, he passed the fit and proper test initially before this ‘new information’ came to light.
You are right though, how the Football League in England and SPFL conduct such tests into potential owners is anyone’s guess.
30k is pretty decent for mid week november game..espcially when our performances are pretty up and down.
Christmas just around the corner aswel..well done to everyone for keeping the faith. Hopefully come may we have few tropies to show for it.
LOL. Oh well, at least we can get all the tough teams out of the way early on in the competition…
