Was anyone surprised at yesterday’s result? You shouldn’t have been. I don’t think I’ve ever before written two articles against taking a result for granted. Celtic are ridiculously inconsistent as Kilmarnock, Hibs, St Johnstone, Inverness and now St Mirren will testify, even Arbroath left Celtic Park with a draw. The intensity which has been self-evident on Champions League duty has been posted missing far too often.
Defeat yesterday was entirely possible as is defeat away to Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup on Sunday. There will be entirely different tactics and attitude when Juventus call next month but right now you’re feeling sore because, against all odds, we’ve conceded a League Cup final place and we’ll find an equally brave opponent at some point in the Scottish Cup unless a solution is found.
Speaking at the funeral of Sean Fallon last week, Sir Alex Ferguson referred to need for a manager to be a hard taskmaster, generating a corresponding need for the assistant manager to be plugged into the dressing room. I’m sure this is not the only way of managing a football team but it was how Jock Stein and Sean worked, and it’s how Sir Alex has worked for the last three decades.
Millionaire players need an edge in their lives to deliver on a lesser stage.
I had to be in Paisley all morning, which did not help my mood.

ot,
Have you tasted corked wine ?
Canamalar.
I enjoy where I sit now,I got a big reduction because of the age thing.
Sorry meant to put a :o)) on that.
canamalar
Yes,a couple of times,but never in an eatery,worst luck,I would have loved to tell them to take it away.
ot,
Mmmmmmmm food for thought, pies n that in fact :o)
Do line your pockets with grease proof paper and fill them for the second half :oD)))
Oldtim
I thought that fortified wine was Port that didn’t come from Portugal, if it comes from Portugal it’s called Port, a bit like Parma ham, and Melton Mowbrey pies……
Probably wrong mind you….the EU and their bananas.
………………..

End up with gout, I wish >}
Remember hughie maxwell signing for celtic…wouldnt say he was the worse…..played well for falkirk….still think he was better than paddie turner who they signed from morton….aye those were the days….the trouble with winning trophies galore,the fans get fed up and crowds drop ie 9iar
ot,
That’s what I meant, corked wine reminds me of port and sherry, that’s why I always finish it :oD))))))
Waste not want not
Decided to give CQN a miss last night after the game, switched off the Barca game and watched a session of Sons Of Anarchy. Still hurting as much now as I did yesterday after the long walk (shambles) back to the bus. Me and young Palacio have declared never to return to Hampden and had to persuade him to go on Wednesday rather than watch the the ‘El Classico’ cup tie.
Yes, he was that hurt. I read back on all of todays comments on who did’nt turn up etc but have not heard anyone mentioning Zaluska. Is it just me who thinks he is a bag of nerves? From his dive towards the deflected Hertz goal ( Slow as a week in the Jail ) and his mis timed clearance that hit the Dundee Utd keeper on Tuesday. IMO big FF would have saved 2 out of their 3 goals yesterday.
Anyway still hurtin….jist thought I’d get my tuppence worth in.
Hail Hail
TET,
Does Tony Mowbery make all those pies, no wonder he always looks knackered
Cork duth not maketh the wine btw. Buckie has a screw top. :o)) ps So im told.
THE EXILED TIM.
The Portugese call it Fortified wine.And I think it all comes from Portugal.even the English named bottles are from Portugal.
Dows,Sandiman,Graham’s,there’s a few others but the memory is going.
Night all. Nite wee Oscar & Issie God bless x Bring on Juve!!

Cockburns???
Canamalar.
You can carry a couple of pie’s back to your seat,and a bovril to wash it down.
jude2005.
that’s one I forgot,Taylors is another.
ot,
Just need a buyer for that juve ticket that’ll meet my value and I’ll be right in there like a tramp into hot pies :o)
Ithink big jocks record in league cupfinals was miserable,,,,played 8 finals lost 7…as someone said last nite…must be a jinx that stadium….
Been a good night on CQN as ever.
Up early doors, so I will bid you all a good night, been stringing pearls all day, you better believe it, should be getting scales in the post soon, so can weigh some of the stuff rather than count it.
Imagine about 20k silver tubes, sells by about 100 pieces, easier to weight them than count them, trust me, hands are like they have been milkin coos all day.
Dublin here we come, had a test run last week.
Take care and god bless Timland.

KTF
Twas the night before Nimmo-Smith …
and here we have folk discussing Lenny’s capability
nurse!!!
Canamalar.
There’s more than pies,there’s sausage rolls,sandwiches,and I think there’s sweet stuff you can get,washed down with the drink of your choice.

Do you expect any revelations from LNS ?
ot,
Oh how the other half live eh, bounteous wonders :oD))))
I don’t.
Nite all.
TET
Not revelations
I expect them to confirm that deadco were playing improperly registered players, for more than a decade – and to reverse the results in those games
my point was more about the blatant anti-lenny chat on here today -watch it rise over the next few days

Unfortunately for us Zaluska is dire.
He does more to unnerve our players than any opponent ever could.
We won our last 2 league games despite his presence.
You can see the effect he has on our team especially the defenders who have no faith in him and retreat as close to him as possible.
He proved yesterday he does not even possess shot stopping ability.
Would rather one of the youngsters got the gig.
So lord Nimmo Smiths Investigation into Dual contracts reconvenes after numerous delays Tomorrow. Harper McLeod have found there was a Prima Facia case to answer last May, with the investigation starting in March. The SPL/SFA have delayed and delayed to save Old/New Rfc from total obliteration. Stripping titles is not a punishment it is a consequence of wrong doing, only a start.

An important week ahead for justice, if it does not come to pass, I would hope the Sharp suited men at Celtic Park to take over, if not Celtic Park will be more scarce than Wigans Stadium next season imo.
Palacio
It defies belief – not expecting a quick decision -but expect the right decision
reverse results:
don’t care if 2nd place are not awarded trophies
“withheld for systematic cheating”
might sit better …

Paddy Turner! That was the name I was trying to remember as a contender to Hughie.
Palacio..,
Open and shut case, all results change, banned from the game.
Tinkerbell FC appeal to the SFA, they change punishment to slap on the wrist and the whole world are told restitution is punishment.
Auldheid,
When did the FFP become mandatory ?

Guy I work with was at a Sevco night on Friday and the other sevco’s were asking him how it was.
“Brillaint, Charles was there!”
“Was he? Did he speak?”
He spoke for about an hour, hour flew in really entertaining, boy knows his stuff etc Did a question and answer bit.
Questions like “Do you think Neil Lennon should be water boarded?”
CG: “I’ll leave you to make your own mind up about that!” (cue rapturous applause)

This Green fella needs some serious scrutiny from the polis.
I hope this is happening.
He is a troublemaker of the first order, and needs to be stopped before things get truly out of hand as his sinking ship takes on more water.
His wee fat divil dug Coisty is also at in issuing veiled threats and insinuating at more govan fatwahs being uttered.
Laugh at them all you want, but they are seriously mentally ill individuals with malice in their twisted hearts.
I despise them more than I can say.

Miki..
So a Guy You probably don’t know.. From KDS..
Is Talking about Guys he Probably Doesn’t really Know..
Listening to a Guy they Probably Don’t know..Who is Probably Big Noting..
