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.

Also Albert Kidd played for Dundee, not us
One final weird fact. I am about to have my tea. The last time I had my tea was the day after Dundee beat Aberdeen. Will these awful omens never cease!

There is just no use arguing against such logic.
I guess we should just sit back and accept our fate
Kojo,
Fair point but even Pele was not good EVERY game!

Wierd fact number 94.
“Dundee” sounds remarkably like “Hun glee”.
(when said by someone with a mouth full of Toffoes).

Fair play, Pele was good but he’s no Lewis McLeod

Thanks Tony , thought it had something to do with goats and eyes following u everywhere.
Now makes perfect sense.
The comfortable collective.
That just puts the tin lid on it!!!
Arsenal shares sold is their biggest worry? That’s like a passenger on the Titanic worrying that the bar had run out of cheese and onion crisps.
Dundee has become the first city in the UK to be named a UNESCO City of Design.
I noticed this FF quote about the Arsenal shares, supplied by Monaghan 1900 earlier:-
“When Whyte sold those, like many my heart sank as at that moment in time we were witnessing a man who cared not a jot for Rangers, a man without any moral compass, a dishonest unscrupulous man inside the football club with access to our crown jewels.”
I was wondering whether Bill Struth had a moral sea-going compass when he returned from his boat trip one passenger light.
As for “access to our crown jewels”…… he had more than access….. he was squeezing them tight and had them by the short and curlies.
You think they might have noticed.
Also, Rangers rhymes with strangers and I have never ever met a Dundee player!
So, the Rangers franchise has yet ANOTHER new name – “Rangers at home to”.
Wilson surprisingly picks Sevco-Raith as one of his TV games.

n.. an Equally..”Fair Point, Pal”.. Must be awarded ,tae You..too.
Sure.. EVERY Fitba’ Player..if he is Human..Has the odd, lapse in his Form ( Except.. Henryk.. But.. well. He Wiznae… Human,that is… wiz he ???)
But..in My Memo.. Ah wiz Trying tae mak a Point..
n.. that wiz..
A Player must be Judged.. solely.. on the Kinda….OVER-ALL Form..which he is
Displaying.. In the PRESENT..
NOT.. oan his Former Performances of the Past..
n..that Kin Cut.. Both ways..
A Player kin be Showing. Strong signs of Improvement…yet ..his Past Shoddy Performances.. wull Haunt Him ..
Case in Point?
Steffi..
Steffi, is Now Showing us .. jist How Good a Player that he Is..
Steffi, in Ma Opinion.. is a Spiffing Player.. A guy who
ah Wish…the Rest of Oor Saggin Mid Field.. should Emulate..his …Unblushing Enthusiasm… tae Win .. n..his “Never say Die”.. spirit.
Broony is a Bum.. Yes he is..
‘
But…Kojo, is the Only guy oan Here..except fur Wan or Two.. who

“Whyte cared not a jot for R*****s.”
Aye!
Smashin’!
HH!!
Kojo,
You are correct. Guidetti had a poor game yesterday and looked heavy legged.
In fairness, the crowded penalty area and lack of space behind the defence didn’t help.
Poor service from the wings didn’t help either.
I think he can be excused an odd day off, especially as he hadn’t a game on Thursday, in which to loosen up for yesterday !!
Fully expect a return to form on the Wednesday, in the wide open spaces of Celtic Park.
Plenty grass for our sacred cows to graze on !
If the sevco v Raith game is televised they should play it at Minty Park.
Plenty of room for all those who will buy tickets.
HH!!
!!Bada Bing!!

15 out of 17 SC Ties since 2009 been away from home…….
And Dundee folk are called Dundonians that’s why we’ll lose the cup game:0)
Remember fanzines?
Dundee had the best-named fanzine of all time – better even than Blackburn’s ‘4000 Holes’

winning captains-is Paul Larkin’s new book available in the bookstore?
Bada bing, I ‘ve just read Paul Larkin’s book, the Asterisk Years, the Edinburgh Establishment v Celtic.
I enjoyed it but could have been better.
He doesn’t really say as much as I would have liked about the establishment’s agenda, driven by Sir Dodgy Dave.
The short film he has made about it is meant to be more revealing than the book.

This is my favourite bit; their dead club was all about a wally mug and some shares in another football team. Hahahaha!

Good evening friends
If rangers had shares in Arsenal, can they be retrospectively banned from Europe for having an interest in 2 clubs?
Only joking

Sorry mhate. Have to say it. But I lost a little love for you and a lot of respect with your post of 5.12.
It was all about the Loving Cup and the deep pool of generous humanity that goes with it. That’s what that venerable institution was all about. About spreading love to people of all faiths and none, albeit they’d concentrated one just the one for almost of their history.
Ibrox is a shrine of goodness. Some of these peepul are worthy of beatification.
Why can’t you see this? It’s as clear as the whiskers on my face-painted face!

KoJo.
My auld pal. Whilst I agree with most re John Gee I feel you missed the fact that the dirty Jambos had all there team behind the ball at most times. It is difficult to break these dogged tactics down and sometimes you don’t in the conventional manner, We did but Super John didn’t fit in.The guy is gonna be a star for us, as sure as there’s shit in a billy or nanny goat.
100% agree re Broony though.
Good as ever chatting

Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas,
I also read Paul Larkins Asterisks years,
and have had the privilege of seeing his short film, and my personal opinion is that Paul doesn’t reveal all in the book,
but the film is jaw dropping.
A must for ALL supporters of football,
Happy Celticing. .
“15 out of 17 SC Ties since 2009 been away from home…….”
Bada, it’s 14 from 18 I believe.
Still outrageously spooky imo.
