Kevin Graham is back with a new CQN Podcast from Saturday. He talks to supporters on the bus on the way to Parkhead, interviews John Paul Taylor outside the ground and captures the atmosphere and action inside the ground before getting some more supporters’ views on the bus home after an eventful afternoon at Celtic Park.
Apologies for a few sweary words in this podcast near the end.

Ha ha trust me my friend there are very few who annoy me on here. Mostly I simply scroll past those who I believe have an agenda either way.
Often folk ask me what I think of particular posters and I don’t have a right to comment because I don’t read their posts mate.

Just heard Michael Stewart say that Jim McIntyre was an Ayrshireman.
When did Dumbarton become a part of Ayrshire? :)

MEN?S QUIZ
Before taking this quiz, it should be noted that all ?real men? answer ?C? to all of these questions. Know this, and you will have come far in understanding them and enriching your own life.
1. Alien beings from a highly advanced society visit Earth. You are the first human being they encounter. As a token of intergalactic friendship, they present you with a small but incredibly sophisticated device that is capable of curing all disease, providing an infinite supply of clean energy, wiping out hunger and poverty, and permanently eliminating oppression and violence all over the entire Earth. You decide to:
A. Present it to the Prime Minister. B. Present it to the Secretary General of the United Nations. C. Take it apart.
2. As you grow older, what lost quality of your youthful life do you miss the most?
A. Innocence B. Idealism C. Fireworks
3. When is it okay to kiss another male?
A. When you wish to display simple and pure affection without regard for narrow-minded social conventions. B. When he is the Pope. C. When he is your brother and you are Al Pacino and this is the only really sportsmanlike way to let him know that, for business reasons, you have to have him killed.
4. What about hugging another male?
A. If he’s your father and at least one of you has a fatal disease. B. If you’re performing the Heimlich manoeuvre. C. If you’re a professional Footy player and a team mate scores the goal to win the World Cup, you may hug him provided that: You also pound him fraternally with your fist hard enough to cause fractures.
5. In your opinion, the ideal pet is:
A. A cat. B. A dog. C. A dog that eats cats.
6. You have been seeing a woman for several years. She’s attractive and intelligent, and you always enjoy being with her. One leisurely Sunday afternoon, the two of you are taking it easy ? you’re watching a rugby game, she?s reading the papers ? when she suddenly, out of the clear blue sky, tells you that she thinks she really loves you, but she can no longer bear the uncertainty of not knowing where your relationship is going. She says she’s not asking whether you want to get married; only whether you believe that you have some kind of future together. What do you say?
A. That you sincerely believe the two of you do have a future, but you don’t want to rush it. B. That although you also have strong feelings for her, you cannot honestly say that you’ll be ready anytime soon to make a lasting commitment, and you don’t want to hurt her by holding out false hope. C. That you cannot believe the Wallabies lost to South Africa two weeks ago.
7. Okay, so you have decided that you truly love a woman and you want to share with her all of the joys and sorrows that the world has to offer, come what may. How do you tell her?
A. You take her to a nice restaurant and tell her after dinner. B. You take her for a walk on a moonlit beach, and you say her name, and when she turns to you, with the sea breeze blowing her hair and the stars in her eyes, you tell her. C. Tell her what?
8. One weekday morning, your wife wakes up feeling ill and asks you to get your three children ready for school. Your first question to her is:
A. “Do they need to eat or anything?” B. “They’re in school already?” C. “There are three of them?”

When it is down to eight loosely connected underwear molecules and has to be handled with tweezers. C. It is never okay to throw away veteran underwear. A real guy checks the garbage regularly in case somebody, and we are not naming names, but this might be his wife, is quietly trying to discard his underwear, which she is frankly jealous of, because the guy seems to have a more intimate relationship with it than with her.
10. What, in your opinion, is the most reasonable explanation for the fact that Moses led the Israelites all over the place for forty years before they finally got to the Promised Land?
A. He was being tested. B. He wanted them to really appreciate the Promised Land when they finally got there. C. He refused to asyk for directions.

Good morning CQN from a dry and breezy East Devon.
Looks like we are in for another week of hearing how amazing Ruth Davidson is from the national media and the political elites.
I wonder if the new hero of the right will give a masterclass on introducing the Orange card into a new political arena as pert of her conference fringe agenda.
Maybe she will renew her stand for gay people (being gay herself), gay marriage ( being gay and about to be married) while continuing to ignore repeated government attacks on disabled people.
I truly despise the hypocritical b. It will be a long time before they see through her though.

This should provide a very interesting piece on social history.
PhD study into Celtic founder Brother Walfrid launched.
Celtic founder Brother Walfrid is to be the subject of a detailed research project to raise awareness of his work to tackle poverty.
Academics say his links with Celtic are well established but the story of Brother Walfrid – real name Andrew Kerins – remains “largely obscure”.
Walfrid founded the football club in 1887 to help alleviate poverty among Irish immigrants in Glasgow’s east end.
The PhD study into the Marist Brother is based at the University of Stirling.
Postgraduate student Michael Connolly will carry out the research, which has been funded by a £25,000 grant from Glasgow-based arts group Nine Muses.
The 27-year-old said: “As someone who was brought up with a deep awareness regarding the significance of Celtic’s presence in Scotland, I felt inspired to write a dissertation for my history degree at university on the origins of the club.
“It was then I began to understand the importance of Brother Walfrid – not just to Celtic, but to the wider Irish immigrant population he sought to support by creating the football club in Glasgow.
“The works of academic authorities such as Dr Joe Bradley and Professor Sir Tom Devine helped fuel my interest in the themes of immigration, Irish identity, poverty, charity and community, which of course motivated Walfrid to found Celtic.”
‘Poverty-ridden’
PhD supervisor Dr Joe Bradley added: “It aims to substantiate the partial image we currently have of Walfrid and, indeed, of the circumstances that provided the conditions for the emergence of Celtic Football Club: a unique representation of the Irish diaspora in world sport.”
A number of pieces of art have been created of Brother Walfrid with the support of Nine Muses, which said the research project was part of a larger awareness campaign.
Manager Emma O’Neil said: “Over 25 years, Andrew Kerins was a pivotal figure in helping poverty-ridden, demoralised and desperate immigrants displaced from Ireland to Glasgow because of the Great Famine, a terrible period in European history.
“Walfrid helped give them food, hope, and, through Celtic, pride, and we want to raise awareness of his life and works.”

Your news has made my day. I know from experience the power of support that emerges instantly when it’s needed, here on CQN.

Ah see that, the Lee Wallace’s have been leaving their wee notes on the teachers desk again.
This time their chosen victim – The Donald.
Nice.
Thing is, nane ae thum could lace The Donald’s boots.
They took up a full page, as they fell over each other, to see who could plunge the first steely knife into the rebellious Legend, The Green Man.
Nane ae thum ever stood in the same Jungle as me.
