I read Wales defender Connor Roberts say “99% of the world” will support Denmark in their last 16 tie tomorrow and thought- the underdog, fighting against the crowd. 99% of the world will not support Denmark, not me, for a start, but the ‘us against the world’ narrative is one of my favourites.
As a rallying call, it is surely more effective than the alternative. Today’s footballer is an immensely well catered for athlete, apart from his 90 minutes on the park and (relatively few) hours on the training field, he will struggle for little. What does he have to fight against, if not perceived ranks of people wanting him to lose?
Beaten, humiliated in Europe, trophy-less, written-off by many among our own, singled-out by the Government. Ange Postecoglou will not have to work hard to convince the players is really is them against the world. This squad really does have plenty to fight against.

Hello again all you young rebels.
Where are you all ? Nobody up yet ? aha just seen you Por Cierto.
Wee wumman round at KFC there, ” is that a Celtic top ?
” Yes darling are you a supporter ”
” No, I don’t know anything about soccer but I love Big Ange and I
love you Scots accents so I’ll probably watch it now ”
He’s a winner.

Viva la Quinta Brigada.
Good morning cqn from an overcast but very warm Garngad
Big Jimmy – If lurking let us know you and Rocky bhoy are ok.
MM – good to see you on, love your tales from down under.
I think big Ange will do well, he looks to have that confidence and a bit of arrogance needed to make it in football.
So off to Huntershill with the grandson this morning for his football then onto the Maryhill science centre for more games at 11am, remember those days lads when we would play about 10 games a week, then a 10/21er with your mates that ended up going for about 4 hours.😂😂😂
D :)
Morning Mick are you on the rid biddy yet 😎🍷🍷🍷😎 ?
G’day David 66
So much love for Celtic here, really is just one big rebel country.
Hope to hear you and big Jimmy meet up soon for plenty beers, I
can sit back and remember my days back in the Gallusgate, a few
beers in Bairds, up to Heilan Jessie, back down to Bar67, the
Emerald Isle, and then down for a wee dance in the Shipbank, it
was actually quite a feat being able to jig with so much grog inside
me.
Nowadays I just cut out the dancing lol.

PARK ROAD 67
Been on it since early, was supposed to run the lines for our senior
games today, but got a reprieve, thank god, need to stop now, up early
tomorrow , 9.30 start for our mini roos and then my u17’s take on
Chelsea in a bit of a grudge match.
We beat them up there 2-0 but we’ve no goalie tomorrow, banned after
getting sent off last week, so it’s keep the ba away from our new keeper
whoever gets the job.

MM – Up the Rebs.
Done all that as well in same pubs only a few years after yersell.
Please keep posting updates of your Club and football teams.
This young grandson of mine is football mad. Every minute of the day he has a ball at his feet. Kick with both feet and as fit as a butchers dug.
Off now have a good day guys.
D :)
I’m not sure if everyone has seen the footage of Ange and Dom meeting the fans media, which was held separately from the msm one.
Here’s the link :

I’ve worked ,lived, holidayed all over the world, but there’s nowhere
in my opinion can match the Gallusgate for a day on the lash, and I’ve
been in some exotic places let me tell you, I think it’s got something
to do with that Celtic thingy that hits you when you pass the Tolbooth lol.
David 66 saying ” I did all that a few years after you ” how many good
Celtic souls did it before me?
Still remember my wee da telling me to go and count the Celtic buses
parked along the Gallowgate while he had a pint in the Sari Heid.
” How many buses son?
” Mullions da, too many tae coont ‘

Thank god you posted, thought I was persona non grata.
Where is awebody? even the politicos are absent.

Having listened to umpteen interviews and press conferences from both Ange and Dom, I think it’s pretty safe to say that Ange is most definitely a Dom McKay appointment. Howe, who he?, was DD’s choice, but, when that fell through I think DMcK had pushed to become the major player in the process to interview and appoint him as manager. PL, to my knowledge, has played no part in this appointment, por cierto
Aye Mick…to get back in oor guid books will cost ye a free return ticket to Melbourne….glad yur back and on form 😂
H.H.
Arden punter…I hope yer rite…but I hav my doubts por cierto ;-))
H.H.
Update…for those that care…young cuz has now been fitted with a pacemaker and defibrillator…modern medicine rocks ;-))
H.H.
both spoke well in that engagement.
tommy rogic, who is he ?
POR CIERTO on 26TH JUNE 2021 11:00 AM
I took the exact same. Dom said it simply “have no doubt, Ange is my guy”
Ange will be judged on results…not his personality…but we live in hope ;-))
H.H.
THE LURKIN TIM
What a shift you’ve put in, think it would surprise you, how many
Tims world wide do care about your young cuz, and anybody in
the Celtic family having a hard time.
Ask yourself, how many times have you had a tear in your eye
at some of the posts on here.
H.H. Mick
I was well impressed with the press conference. Ange said all the things that I expected from him, but Dom was equally impressive . It seems that they have forged a strong bond already that can only be a good sign going forward. Long may that continue.
I also thought Ian Bankier spoke well in the introductory before, quite rightly, taking a back seat and almost falling asleep!
Onwards and upwards bhoys!
Mick…talking to this community is never a shift…wading through the bullshit trolls is lol…thank you, I sometimes forget we are not just shouting into the void alone on here 👍
H.H.
*talking to, and being part of this community r 2 different things…man I could do with a j ;-))
H.H.
THE LURKIN TIM
Think maybe we underestimate what people think about any of
the Celtic family who are in trouble , health wise or a.n other just
because there’s no answer to a particular post.
Isn’t it great just having a chat like the auld days on CQN without
the usual negs disrupting the flow.
OH!!!! what have I done?
Here they come lol.

Hail Hail
Stay Safe

Big Jimmy.
OK ?
Yes, page has definitely narrowed, more room for
ads? looks like it.

BADA
48.000 wow, wonder how many blowhards on here syruptisiouly
got theirs, quite a few I’d think.
H.H. Mick
MM
Yes, that’s what I was thinking
HH
Lurking Tim/Melbourne Mick… Some shift you bhoys put in. 👏👏
Hope big Ange gets the backing he will be asking for player wise, if so I reckon he will be a grand manager. 🤞🍀🍀
Bada Bing,
If 48k is true, what a show of support for the new regime.
HH.
SIPS
Don’t think there’s one negative post in the last few pages, is
CQN getting back to it’s days of blog supremacy?
H.H. Mick
SIPS
Meant to say, you’re correct, will he get the backing??????
H.H. Mick
Well I had no intention of renewing my ST as this Plc structure operates like a fiefdom and we know who the peasants are, us!
I thought my daughter would renew and go with her pals but no she said going without me was not the same. So this will be what the Plc are hoping for, sentimentality, as a result and reluctantly I renewed. But god knows what I’m buying into😱😵
Jist back from a wander…big banner tied to the primary school fence…
Happy 14th Nicole…
A) she won’t b able to read it…poor lass
2) schools are closed

Afternoon all.
Just finished watching the media conference.
It was an introductory event and should be seen in that context only?
That said I thought both Ange and Dom handled it well.
Key takeaways for me.
I don’t know if Ange will succeed but he clearly has a personality and an approach.
Dom and Ange came across as a team.
Best of all (IMHO) when Dom was asked about his role he mentioned three things
– the football
– the business
– engagement
Third of these is significant. Indicative that he plans to give appropriate time and energy to reconnecting with fans.
Small, but positive, steps.
I’ve already tempered my expectations for Europe this season.
The new manager can’t do much tactically in four weeks.
If he can deliver some small improvement in fitness and attitude in the short term I’ll settle for that.
Hail hail
