The March international break is one of the most important of the club season. It is when managers and coaches get to take a proper look at the players targeted for the summer transfer window. The Celtic management team will have looked at dozens of players on video since the January window closed, but, this break from domestic football, gives them the chance to do the Grand Tour, their last opportunity before the end of the season.
Having despatched his nearest two rivals away from home, with 10 men, in recent weeks, Brendan Rodgers took enormous pressure off the remainder of the season, which now largely consists of preparing for next month’s Scottish Cup semi-final. Energies will have made a significant switch towards preparing for July’s Champions League qualifiers.
Getting these decisions right can be the difference between success and failure; Brendan will have used his ‘time off’ wisely.

Aye, looks a bit clumsy, with plenty of clues with it, the Russians usually a bit more clinical ,when similar happened in the past.

Big Packy
Wee Hector, is at the Vet Thurs Morning to confirm his hip replacement op is good to go ( he needs both done, but 1 being done at a time – he is only 16 month old)

DD,
I’ve been thinking that from day 1. BoJo couldn’t get on his anti-Russian high horse quick enough. It was like a red card against us by one of our bent refs.
Get Brexit off the front page, vilify the Russians, suits Trump gets him off the Russian hook covers up all the other political inadequacies and misdemeanours. There’s more to that story than meets the eye.
It’s Coatbrig
Only Glasgae punters call it Coat-Bridge :-)

Saint,
Seems a good guess, gullible and thick although he was nice and they most certainly are not!
Salisbury
Option 1 – false fleg. Hapless Boris and cluekess may conspire to frame Putin and Russia with a chemical attack. The aftermath shows their utter weakness. They expel 2 dozen Russian diplomats. Russia does the same and rips the piss out of a sovereign state all over state media.
Option 2 – Vladimir give a shite Putin seeks to wipe out a traitor to the motherland cos he can. And as a deliberate horses headcwarning to others. Picks London cos of the high % of Russian ex pats wig dirty money and dodgy pasts. And as a deliberate insult to Britain.
The non conspiracy option is actually the scarier one for me. Boris and may wear Velcro shoes. They couldnae tie their laces.

GFTB, I to hope the Griff gets game time , on his game the wee man is superb. I would never have him out my team. I would play with 2 up front, but he would certainly be 1 of them.
Goodnight and God Bless

False flags are common place today, a while back, in the last couple of years, there was supposed to be a bombing in Brussels airport, the video footage they used for the bombing was from a real bombing in Russia a few years before, yer man Lee Rigby, for sure he was killed but not the way they want us to believe, it just so happened there was a bloke on a bus going for a job interview and he just happened to have a camera with him, not a mobile but a proper TV camera, who managed to record everything for the networks, then a few hours after the alleged attack they had moved the crime scene from one end of the street to the next, a good friend of the Mrs watched it happening, she thought they were making a TV series, Oh and they must have had the cleaners in pdq, cos there wasn’t a drop of blood to be seen, strange when someone has had there head chopped off, I’m sure they were thinking about the TV viewers, false flags are happening every day, more fool us for believing them.
DD- Most of the St Tams guys, only went on a Tuesday…:)
Good Evening.
It is some time since I told a wee story on CQN. I was going to maybe keep this one for the Lisbon do on the 25th of May but if it is worth telling once it is worth telling twice.
Back in the day when my mum and dad’s travel business took Celtic fans to every away leg in Europe, special arragements had to be made if a trip was really popular.
Each plane held around 180 passengers and so a passenger list had to be typed up for each plane using old fashion type writers which were then state of the art. I remember when a” golf ball” typewriter was seen as something out of science fiction.
Anyway, each plane had its own passenger list and, of course, each hotel had a guest list. So , there were endless lists for most trips and on really big trips, such as Lisbon or Milan, there were huge lists as they flew 19 planes to Lisbon and 35 flights to Milan.
Of course, there were no computers back in those days to record all the details of the passengers and so each passenger’s details (Name, address, phone number, flight number, allocated hotel, and hotel room details such as single, twin or double) had to be recorded on a card even before the passenger made it on to the passenger list.
For really busy trips my folks would have to bring in extra staff to work on a temporary basis, and one of these was a diminutive wee woman called Betty.
Betty was a legal secretary by day and in the evenings she would work in my mum and dad’s office often till 9pm and beyond typing out passenger list after passenger list, accommodation list after accomodation list.
Betty was a marvel and in our house she was known as the woman with the photographic memory as she would come to my mum and say , after typing thousands of names, “Mrs McGinley, we have six Hugh O’Neill’s. Can we check that there are actually six and we haven’t double booked someone?”
And so the painstaking checking process would begin to ensure that we hadn’t doubled up on Hugh O’Neills which was actually pretty easy to do because some people would book seats for themselves and their pal Hugh O’Neill , meanwhile Hugh may well have booked himself on separately.
Anyway, the point is that “Wee Betty” was regarded in our house as someone to look up to. She was brilliant at her job and would often have to be told it was time to go home to her family as she would have worked on and on into the wee small hours when needed.
Most important of all was the fact that both my mother and father brought me up to absolutely respect this diminutive woman, not because of her secretarial and organisational skills, but because she was a walking living example of a mother and a wife who worked hard for her family, held down more than one job to help keep, feed, fund and support that family in every way. Betty was always polite (no matter how often my mum told her to call her Kathleen she would insist on using Mrs McGinley), totally dependable and was just one of those people who deserved the greatest of respect for all that she did, how she did it, and just why she did it.
I didn’t know her husband well, nor their son who occasionally came into the office, but I sure knew her.
Many years later, long after she and my parents had gone on to other things, I used to see her around the west end of Glasgow and think ” That is wee Betty with the photographic memory. She is a right good soul.”
She wouldn’t know or recognise me – although many many years later I walked into an office and there she was. I introduced myself and I have to say she was lovely, asking for my mum and dad, and just being the friendly woman she always had been.
So, where am I going with this?
Well, something else inherited from my mother and father is the delight to be taken from seeing someone do well and achieve success. Equally, I love to see sheer joy and delight and someone’s face, especially if it is on the face of a friend or a member of my family.
And so it came to pass that I vividly recall the look of pure pleasure on my old man’s face as we stood applauding at Celtic Park as the teams came out one day and there, on the hallowed turf, stood a fella who was once no more than a wee skinny, snotty nosed boy who used to come into the office looking for his Ma!
As he shouted, clapped and cheered I recall my old man turning to me and saying “Betty McKinlay must be so proud today as that wee boy always said he wanted to play for Celtic and he’s made it. Fantastic – utterly fantastic!” and for the next few years there would be no one in the ground who would be quicker to shout “Go on Tosh” whenever he had the ball.
For many Tosh is a hero but in our house his mammy is a giant and a legend.

Why did Putin not wipe him out when he was in a Russian jail?
Why did they take them to a General hospital with associated contamination risk?
I smell shite.
Putin could have had the bloke who was supposed to have been poisioned in Sailsbury done in when he was in a Russian jail for five years any time he wanted.
