Neil Lennon accepted responsibility for the tactical decision to start yesterday’s game with three at the back, saying, “We thought the three would suit us, but that didn’t seem to be the case. We looked a little bit flat the first 10-15 minutes and I don’t know why.”
Hibernian scored during this period, which may or may not have been a result of the defensive line-up, but if anything, Celtic were even flatter after they went to four at the back. The game was a throwback to the days when Gordon Strachan’s teams worked hard but seldom inspired.
The midfield didn’t dominate enough of the ball to prevent Hibs creating several good chances and was unable to craft a clear-enough opening. With Charlie Mulgrew on the field we are always dangerous, and Kris Commons has a better sense of where the goal is than anyone at the club, but without them we grasp to Paddy McCourt, who only seems to get the call when we’re in trouble.
So where do we need to strengthen next month……………?

Not with Kap at QB I’m afraid.
The Boy Jinky
I don’t know. They would have to go through Atlanta though.
I think the winner is from the AFC.
Denver or New England.
My money is on the Patriots :))

i was at st josephs in greenock and it was a monsignor talking about father……….
I’m thinking of all the good days that my old dad took me to the games. talking here about the best games of my life,
and then monsignor starts talking about the nice messages on CQN
This is the reason im not saying any sweary words on CQN
Thank you Father Hail Hail to ye
Wembleee Wembleee
I liked Reign of Fire more than the critics.
Matt McConnaughey (sp?) is good in it.
SPF with the first road bye they will go very close I believe. Defence will lose it for Pats. Peyton is my second pic
Spf
With rodgers at QB and a fit clay matthews we can beat anyone but i think it will be an afc team who wins
Dont like new england .. Colours do nowt for me and dont like brady
So denver would get my vote
‘crushed nuts?’ ‘Naw, Layringitis!’

cheers for that clip,last time i saw it was when film was released..
too long.

It wouldn’t break my heart if Manning took Denver to New Orleans.
What did break my heart was the team I picked for the NFLUK FF.
I was 4th out of 20k at the start of the night, 35pts behind the leader, but Cam Newton, C.Johnson and the San Deigo defence has meant I can unpack the suitcase for the trip to New Orleans!!

Just been reading back.
I see kitalba the Brisbane Stalker is up to his old tricks again, throwing his weight around and accusing yet another poster – this time Ntassoolla – of being me. When will he ever learn, even after being proved wrong so many times? I suppose he was pished again, but that figures. From what I have been hearing, he is not so brave away from his keyboard.
Of course again he never comes right out and says it. He drops little bombs here and there, once again mocking my ill health with comments about “fake heart attacks”. So he’ll deny accusing anyone of being me. Thus is the nature of the obsessed drunkard.
kitalba (The Brisbane Stalker) – you are a little shitebag of the highest order. You threaten me with comments about what you are going to do to me “when our paths cross”. I look forward to the day.
Apologies to the blog but I am no longer going to let his personal attacks on me go unchallenged.
Shall I tell big Joe you were asking for him?
Probably better not eh? LOL
SPF it would be ironic if an AFC team wins SB. Outside the top 3 that conference is very weak compared to NFC.
Time i was away… Ozzie rules hardmen frighten me ;)

If you’ve followed the betting for the winners of the SB, it’s as wide open as it has been for a long while.
One week it’s Houston, then NE, then Denver etc. Add into that SF one week then Atlanta then GB etc.
With the seedings almost done, it’ll be a lot clearer now in the market.

vmhan –
I have been away on holiday for a week and away from CQN in that time. I have just been looking back and he has been attacking me in my absence with comments about “fake heart attacks” and “ripping off priests” whatever that is supposed to mean.
What am I supposed to do? Let it go?
Would you?
im full of it so offski
tom you and Kit be good for 125 days
Love 2 ye both and hey its kANO
just do it xx
tom
just love
Is that the Vegas odds? I don’t follow to much before the playoffs. Did try to pick 5 teams a week with the handicap. Difficult. I only have Betfair over here. Not the same…
Vmhan for you COYBIG

It was a roast potato site earlier
Tom McLaughlin @01:06 I’m glad I caught you. I did not understand kitalba’s remark about “ripping off priests and chapels and fake heart attacks.” Although I was sure it was an invective against somebody.
Did you steal the lead off the church roof or something like that? At your age? With a bad heart?
Vmhan I’m entitled to an explanation of why kitalba chose to menace and slander me. Tom McLaughlin is welcome to fill in the gaps that kitalba ran away from.
The Boy Jinky,
Careful! that comment could be msiconstrued as being anti-Irish
misconstrued, even
I blame my keyboard
Morning all,
Dropped in to see how we are doing.
Looks like a scrap is brewing. Not my gig.
Will keep my new year best wishes till later.

Logical.

No, Ladbrokes and Hills I bet with.
I’m in Scotland in case you though I live in the US.
I only check Vegas odds when I’m looking for the over/under pts setting for each game.
Need to call it a night.
Dayshift beckons soon.

Don’t worry. Just a point being cleared up.
Ntassoolla,
Good stuff. Life really is too short.
