  1. One of the guys who sits in front of me in 106 spoke of a fairly drunk guy arriving at The Corner and asking ” Is this CQN Corner?”

     

     

    Anyone??

    Wasnt entirely serious in that post.

     

    Thought you would have got that:)

     

    And anyway…..i was right , id rather have principles than be motivated by greed…..like the PLC.

  3. 3-0 half time coasting the game…

     

    3-2 reminded of Liverpool v palace …..

     

    Chris Sutton …… Leigh Griffiths shouldn’t be taking corners ….boom have it….

     

    Then of course Broony never gives up…5-2…

     

    90 + minutes in the life of being a Celtic supporter ….it’s never easy but it is grand

  4. Anyone else notice that the famous dead club have mysteriously dropped off UEFA’s official club rankings? Listed at number 269 in 15/16, with Dundee Utd in 268, so naturally they should be around Dundee Utd again for this season since neither club gained any co-efficient points last season (other than the token points gained for Scotlands clubs). Dundee Utd are now listed at 267, but what’s this? No R****** FC? Have they slipped down for some reason? Let’s have a look. Oh, there’s Inverness at 294, further down, hmm, no sign. Past the clubs from Malta, Luxembourg, Wales. Bottom 3 occupied by 2 clubs from San Marino and a club from Andorra. Surely they can’t be worse than the famous AC Juvenes/Dogana from San Marino???

     

     

    I wonder what happened to Glasgow R****** FC?

  5. Quick point on the flag debate – There are reasonable arguments for and against so you can disagree without calling others selllouts/morons/etc. PS To be clear that’s not aimed at recent comments.

     

     

    On the game now. It’s clear that Brendan Rodgers changes tack during a game. He reacts to what is happening then and now – not just throw on a striker at 80mins. He is adept at adapting. That is refreshing.

     

     

    However what I have seen from the few games so far is reacting to score more goals. Against Astana (at 1-1) and Sheva (3-2) at home this has worked out. These were calculated risks that paid off.

     

     

    What I am interested to see now is can we adapt to park the bus, hit on the break, away from home. We got away with a 1-1 away to Astana thanks to a Roberts and Griffiths mugging and excellent shot stopping from Gordon. But I reckon we were lucky.

     

     

    In Israel I expect we will score but I would like us to be at a place where we might not have to. It’s early but I bring it up as this was the main criticism of Rodgers at Liverpool. When as I expect we get to the CL group stages proper we are going to come up against some teams we cannot go toe-to-toe away from home.

     

     

    The Israelis are decent and will put us under pressure at their home.So the next thing I want to see from Rodgers is a tactical plan to ally the pace of SInclair, Dembele, and counterattacking guile of Roberts and Griffiths — with a parked bus.

    Shouldnt we just bring back hanging and be done with it.

     

    Or how about Crucifixion….nail some sense into them eh:)

     

    You are obsessed about these ‘invisible’ leaders….could they be Trotskyists?

     

    Have you been talking to Tom Watson?

     

    Yeah..thats it…..its Bolsheviks.

    When you chose to buy a season book you do so in the full knowledge that UEFA might impose a fine on Celtic for whatever reason.

     

     

    You also knew it was likely that Celtic fans, being Celtic fans, one way or another, we would be where we are this morning,

     

     

    Your choice.

     

     

    No one forced you to buy a ticket.

     

     

    So man up, and stop whingeing.

  8. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    See the curtain twitchers are out in force again.

     

    Dont like what other people think…lets ban them, fine them, hunt them down.

     

    Thats the level of debate on CQN.

  9. THE JOHNATRON –

     

     

    Thanks for that. Very interesting.

     

     

    The list includes only clubs who have a co-efficient greater than zero, in other words any club that has played at least one game in European competition in the previous 5 years.

     

     

    So either UEFA excluded the new club because they are a new club, or oldco last played in European competition more than 5 years ago. Oldco played in Europe in 2011/12 which would mean they would have a small co-efficient if treated as the same club.

     

     

    So in conclusion, it looks like UEFA see them as having zero co-efficient, therefore not listed, therefore new club.

  10. No Izaguirre, Armstrong or Johansen in the squad last night. Their days are numbered ala Commons and Efe.

  11. SydneyTim says sack Lawell now on

    Must have been an amazing night last night. This was definitely not a heated driveway production

     

    So unless a disaster happens approx 28million pounds heading our way

     

     

    Never ever again should we leave money in the bank for the AGM balance sheet. Never again should we not invest out money earned by the team in the team

     

     

    Peter L Your days of destroying our club are over. Enjoy your garden

    I did man up I gave my opinion on the low life’s who groom kids, will they man up? Not a chance,

     

    Oh and I buy my season ticket to watch and cheer on my team, not for political status, but we know what horse your on I think? Is that your way of manning ? Just curious .

  14. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    Checked the half-time score as I left Swindon.

     

     

    3-0! Dancer,wish I was there.

     

     

    Got to Oxford,checked again.

     

     

    3-2! WTF?! Jee-zoh…

     

     

    Southampton,phone oot.

     

     

    5-2! Bloody hell,sounds like some match!

     

     

    Being a Celtic supporter is not always easy-on the fingernails,at least.

     

     

    But aye,it is always worthwhile.

     

     

    MONTHEHOOOOOOOOOPS!!!!!!!

    If you have evidence of this ‘grooming’, shouldnt you be going to see Police Scotland.

     

    After all, if you have uncovered this sordid scenario, you will surely be up for a gong from the Queen

     

    Where is the evidence of your investigation?

     

    Lets see it.

     

    Name the offenders.

  16. Another feature of the second half fight-back was James Forest comeing to life.

     

    He was very dangerous leving defenders in his wake. And of course his first-half cross for the Griff header.

  17. So in conclusion, it looks like UEFA see them as having zero co-efficient, therefore not listed, therefore new club

     

     

    That list is for clubs who APPEARED in UEFA competitions in the last five years, it sais on the right hand side of the rules section, well I’m assuming that’ll be thems reasoning?

  18. .

     

     

    SydneyTim..

     

     

    BR has already put PL in his place..

     

     

    Watch for some fireworks in the next few Days..

  19. TD67 –

     

     

    Where do you get the idea that the flags were flown by “kids”?

     

     

    What do you regard as a kid? Anyone under 40?

    Come on Closeau

     

    Present the findings of your report.

     

    Lets bring these offenders to justice.

  21. DOC on 18TH AUGUST 2016 10:28 AM

     

    Thanks Mhate, yeah was buzzing last night, still am. Only blip had thought I would bet Rogic first goal given his squad number but didn’t put it on but hey ho, 5-2 will do for me…:)

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

  22. The green man

     

     

    Don’t ask me who they where, and you’ll never find out what organisation they where either because they’r all Frankie Howard’s, not one set of balls between the lot of them, but like you and a few in here they are just malcontents, and help out the Smsm and level 5 every day in here.

  23. THETIMREAPER

     

     

    But are you sure Efe wasnt playing at the start of the second-half when the defence was blundering and giving away 2 soft goals.

  24. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Yeah, some mysterious Pied Piper figure groomed kids and adults to wave Palestinian flags.

     

    Seriously!

  25. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    You should know by now, that after my rant.

     

    Im like a wee Lamb:)

  26. Whatever we are paying BR — he is certainly having to earn it the hard way.

     

    The hardest job he has at the moment is sorting out the the squads attitude.

     

    The improvement we make — seen often last night — when we manage to lose the fear is impressive.

     

     

    We have more than enough talent to make the group stages.

     

    We have enough talent currently to be competitive in the group stages.

     

    We do not have enough talent to overcome bad luck and poor refereeing.

     

     

    However the squad is incredibly lumpy with gaps that all to plain to see.

     

    It won’t all be fixed in the next week but the club has a lot of work to do.

     

     

    We saw what we can do for 50-60 minutes last night.

     

    Consequently buying an agent friendly job lot of projects is now not good enough.

    The list includes only clubs who have a co-efficient greater than zero, in other words any club that has played at least one game in European competition in the previous 5 years.

     

    ————————————————————————————————————————————————————

     

    Not so sure… Go through the list and you will find there are clubs who haven’t played/qualified for Europe for more than 5 years – take FC Sileks who last played in the Intertoto Cup (remember that?) in 2005.
