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.

“That was the worst thing to have happened. Because those shares, along with the Loving Cup, were what R*ngers were all about”

This is my favourite bit; their dead club was all about a wally mug and some shares in another football team. Hahahaha!
monaghan1900-i heard wee Dawwell King on talksport,nearly in tears re the Arsenal shares,i was shedding tears of a different kind.
Whatever happened to Darrell King? Do I remember rightly he shuffled off to the US of A?

Is he no the partner in a nice wee flower shop now or am I really getting crazy with all the hun info?
Minx1888 – it was a pleasure. Your bhoy is a credit to you.
who’ve we got in the cup?
I’d actually prefer to be drawn away from home – not sure of the stats, but have we not gone out the cups at home more than away in recent years? Apart from our Hampden debacles.

That was the story I heard but thought it might have been a wind up!
jackie Dundee away at Dens Park
I’m off to the Morrissey gig tonight in Dublin (3Arena)
I have a spare ticket if any local CQNer wants it. No charge, just a waste of a ticket.
If anyone is around and wants it, post on here later.
I work near there so will be in a pub nearby before the gig and will likely be lurking
hail hail

Yer hard man – look what it meant to them! Still very raw in some of them who didn’t know they had them in the first place!

David Spanner reckons that Dundee must be favourites to beat us in the Cup as we haven’t beat them last week and also Alan Gilzean who played for Dundee and then famously went on to play for Spurs had a son who supported Rangers.
Also, Thomson Allan who used to play for Dundee in goal has a surname which is the same as the first name of Old Rangers goalkeeper Alan McGregor.
Looks like the Gods are conspiring against us Bhoys!!!!
attendance from the hearts fans was shocking yesterday – 12k or so in total
davidopoulos- He manages a flower distribution warehouse in Florida.
Can anyone explain the significance to me of the Arsenal shares and why the Hun is obsessed with them?
Is it a Masonic thing?
Here’s wee Dawwell trying to forget the Arsenal shares:

Never thought of it that way, we’re OOT :-( HH
Loads of comments today and yesterday about Sky’s coverage and comments about us and their partiality to the Huns.
Don’t understand why our fans still pay the Murdoch shilling.
I cancelled a few years back and have never missed them since doing so. I heartily recommend it.
Never mind the arsenal shares, what about the wee FACE PAINTER ?????

Only lettin me vote the once, sorry.

Hun skelper
Yeah mate we are doomed.
Also remember Jocky Scott managed and played for Dundee as well as playing for Aberdeen.
And we all know Aberdeen put us out the cup last year .
So it would appear that all logical outcomes point to a Dundee victory.
Damn it!
Stephanie Roache voted for (17:10 for link) and not just because Corkcelt is an excellent man. The goal really is class.

Let’s chip in and pay the facepainter,it could be a laugh ,and launch a thousand banners,which we could turn into t-shirts for Mary’s Meals
Hun Skelper.
Another amazing coincidence pointing to a Dundee victory is……… Cammy Fraser used to play for Dundee and then scored against us for Oldco in the 4-4 game at the Bigot dome in 1986.
The weight of probability swings firmly against us
We certainly are doomed. Dundee is only 20 miles from here and Glasgow is 100 miles away so we should lose 5-1. Uncanny, these coincidences.
