For years Celtic players have had little let-up in their schedule during international breaks, so it was pleasing to see so few play a full 90 minutes over the weekend. Four former Celtic players started for Scotland but Callum McGregor and David Turnbull were only used as substitutes.
Kyogo Furuhashi made a halftime appearance in Japan’s home defeat to Oman (Oh, man). Nir Bitton got a valuable run out for Israel against Austria, while Liel Abada watched from the bench. Tom Rogic got the full 90 minutes in Australia’s 3-0 win over China, which Carl Starfelt for the closing 30 minutes as Sweden beat Uzbekistan.
Those who have been in the squad since preseason should be fully fit and more in need of rest than game time. Any reprieve in the autumn international breaks is welcome.

I remember back in the 90s my boss, a Motherwell ST holder, and I went for a drink after work. In the pub we met an old friend of the boss’s and after he introduced us, my boss said, “Watch him Tom. He’s a Hun.”
Obviously said in jest, but the point is, here was a Motherwell fanatic referring to a Rangers man as a Hun. No religious connotations whatsoever. Purely a humourous introduction of a Celtic supporter and a Rangers supporter.

On what basis did you call me a liar?
On the basis that you lied about me in a post a few weeks ago.
Anyone having problems with the Eddie Howes pop up videos that have appeared recently.
Normally I just ignore them and rarely even close them.
My phone is set up to close down after a period of non activity but if I fail to close CQN with this pop up running, it stays on.
A couple of times I have retrieved the phone from a pocket a couple of hours after being on here only to find that it was very warm to the touch.
In my opinion this is a potentially dangerous situation and I hope this will make people aware of this risk.
The pop up should either go or be modified to close after a set time

And what did I say about you that was untrue?
When/if the much-trailed vaccine passport directive is rubber-stamped, what will be the effect on stadium attendances?
What will be the financial cost to clubs to administer such a system and will all clubs adhere to the spirit and letter of the law?
I know that Celtic will, however given the glaring inconsistencies shown by government and football authorities in other Covid-related matters, can we be sure that other cash-strapped clubs will do likewise?
The cost of refund requests on Europa League packages and season tickets could be substantial, in addition to that of implementation.
Emeraldbee…I’m glad you enjoyed the film.
My wife is a producer/director of films. Aquarela took about seven years to make from the original idea. Her intention at first was to make a film about large companies such as Nestles who steal water from local communities. That practice still goes on. Anyway, she had a change of heart and went off in a different direction with her idea. If you are going to make a film you need someone to buy into your idea. First port of call is a good, well known director. That certainly helps to raise money and interest. Victor Kossakovsky is in that category. He approached her because he wanted to make a film about Hugo Chavez (my wife is Venezuelan) but after he died in 2013 she persuaded Kossakovsky to direct her film. She then has to find co-producers willing to invest as well as someone to buy it. That can be, and in this case was, a long drawn out process. Kossakovsky is a notoriously difficult director to work with. Very passionate and very demanding, a perfectionist. However, my wife is also very strong willed and was able to handle his occasional whims. He demanded the latest Arri cameras, filming 96 frames per second,(he came to Scotland and tried out the camera in the underwater horse scene in Loch Lomond), Dolby Atmos audio, drones, helicopters, underwater cameras, all the latest technology. If you noticed, even in the storm the camera was steady and there was no water on the lens. Not accidental by any means. They lost one camera when one of the drones decided to dive into the sea around Greenland.😊 So, her job during the filming process is to make sure everything goes to plan. It was a fair sized crew who needed to be fed and watered and kept safe in difficult conditions. Kossakovsky’s favourite moment was the drone shot that revealed the rainbow at the Angel Falls. He apparently cried tears of joy after that shot. The film was shortlisted though not actually nominated for an Oscar.
Personally, I loved the film and obviously I’m very proud of my wife’s achievement.
Sorry for the long post but I thought it might be of interest to anyone who watched the film.

No need to be sorry. It was of interest and the film is a masterpiece.
Apart from anything else,I would suggest that it offers a calming influence in a sometimes turbulent world.
Might be of use to some CQN posters :-))
Congratulations to your wife and the bold Kossakovsky.
