  3. Good morning from a sunny but windy Talacre.

    If you’re still up – Scott Brown takes his Fleetwood Town to Port Vale for the season opener next Saturday.

     

     

    You going?

     

    …………………

     

     

    Caravan plus grandkids = bed at 10 and up at 6.30am 🤭

     

     

    Yes I’ll certainly be there

  4. See Dopey Keevins is going for them to win the league.

     

    Of course he is.

     

    His reasons,

     

    They seem to have a lot of firepower that we don’t,that could swing it.

     

    Yep,one thing we are really short of is goalscorers.

     

    There is no fool,like an old fool,as the saying goes.

     

    Any headlines this morning about the riots?

  5. Dopey Keevins, The game of TITLE PASS THE PARCEL will continue,

     

     

    Someone should tell the Dickhead that the Huns have just won 1 of the last 11 Titles,

     

     

    Some boring game of Pass the Parcel.

  6. Good morning CQN

     

     

    Our first proper pre-season preparation games rather than the Russian roulette of C/L qualifiers we have had to endure in previous years are at an end, Ange sets his standards and expectations of the players at a very high bar set, and these demands take their toll on players throughout a season, Ange is now on stage 2 of the rebuild he undertook last season, we still have some time left in this window in which Ange can make additions to have a squad capable of meeting his exacting demands.

     

     

    Context is important, remember where you start from, Ange inherited a football dept in turmoil, lacking leadership and direction, infrastructure was non-existent, given little time for pre-season preparations many of us wondered how we would fare under our experienced but largely unknown antipodean coach, our much missed CQN friend Garry forecast success, and bhoy did Ange deliver domestically and with some style, Ange ball returned paradise to a happy footballing arena worthy of the name paradise, by end of last season we had a core of players who gave us a strong spine and no little skill, Stage 1 in the rebuild was completed when CCV, Maeda and Jota signed on for this season, joining Hart, Starfelt, McGregor, Hatate, O’Reilly, Kyogo and Giakoumakis 9 of this 10 being Ange signings was top quality transfer business by our Aussie manager he certainly has an eye for players who fit his footballing ethos, Postecoglou has waited a long time to get his chance in Europe it would be fair to say time wasnt on his side which goes some way to explain his decision to take over a club with potential no doubt but with a football dept in dissaray, AP himself has referred to the cost on himself last season he was exhausted doing it all, he has since made some coaching/techincal and recruitment appointments which will hopefully take some of the pressure away from him, managing Celtic is not for the faint hearted you have to win every game, 2nd in the SPFL is nowhere and certainly finishing 2nd 25 points behind is completely unacceptable, it has been an enjoyable experience getting to know Ange the man as well as his footballing philosophy he has warmed too and understood the club and its fanbase, in return Ange has deserved the warmth from the support the songs and cheers have grew every week last season, although it seems not all on CQN are happy, the perils of social media, he comes across as a well grounded all round good guy, IMO he has the stature and behaviour i expect of a Celtic manager, he has educated some of us with his footballing philosophy, his set in stone 4-3-3 formation with inverted full backs we know we dont change formation or tactics, “we never stop”, Ange doesnt do one dimensational or even two dimensational players, im afraid those on these pages wanting/waiting for CDM enforcers or big bruiser C/Bs havent been listening to Ange at all, multi-faceted players, players who can do it all plus football intelligence, those high expectations and high demands to play also involve doing a high press defend from 70/80 yards from your goal, fitness and running abilty are also important for players, the recent Blackburn game at H/T saw both the strenous warm up/warm down of the players, the days of sitting eating tunnocks tea cakes in the dug out are gone.

     

     

    Stage 2 rebuild is well underway, we have signed Siegrist, Bernabei, Mooy and Jenz (as with all signings i wait to see them in a Celtic shirt and with some decent game time before i judge them)with some time remaing in the window to go, we wont see the dramatic progress we witnessed last season that graph curve will start to flatten out, remember the very low starting point, we have some top talent in Jota, Kyogo, McGregor, Hatate and O’Reily all of these could play anywhere, McGregor and Hatate if both stay fit will for me will take us to title No.2 this combo is the best by some distance in Scotland, looking forward to flag day next week, it will be exciting dramatic football its the Ange way, Ange ball faces its toughest test on the European stage, Europe is a tough experienced sophisticated arena, wealthy clubs with top talent in both players, coaches and managers is an unforgiving competition to be in, i will keep my expectation level low, comparing Celtic to clubs with over 500 million turnovers plus owners with deep deep pockets is a futile irrelavant exercise.

     

     

    SPFL title will be a dog fight with Sevco, GVB recovered well after a blip, i wont undererstimate him or his team with the SFA refereeing club to assist i expect a very close race, to reach the Europa cup final confirms how tough it will be

     

     

    Hasta la vista

  7. Cannot believe that we are trying to equate SB with PMcS — not good.

     

    PMcS is / was a whole level of class above SB regarding the full gamut / range of MF play.

     

     

    If you want to compare SB with anybody — how about PG or BO’N?

     

    Too may are rating the sizzle not the sausage.

    A fine post to which I would add but one addition. From what I have read , Ange hasn`t just signed good players; he has also signed good human beings. That can prove essential when the chips are down.

  9. Hot Smoked….

     

    point re good human beings……correct.

     

    I think Ange will ensure chips are off the menu from now on at (Bobby)Lennoxtown.

  10. “McGrory’s records are astonishing; he holds the overall goal scoring record for British football with a tally of 550, Scottish League goal scoring record with 410 goals in 408 appearances, the record number of goals scored in one senior League match (eight against Dunfermline Athletic in 1928), and the fastest hat-trick in Scottish League history against Motherwell in 1936 (inside three minutes).”

  11. Only seven caps but looking at this, we can see that maybe it wasn`t anti-Celtic bias:

     

     

    “McGrory gained a total of seven caps for the Scottish national team, scoring six goals. In the mid and late 1920s he was generally overlooked, as were Dave Halliday and Hughie Ferguson, in favour of Hughie Gallacher who played 18 times in that period, scoring 24 goals in 17 victories and one draw.”

  12. Tom McLaughlin on

    I think the new exterior banners are an improvement on the previous version. The green background with minimal wording and the absence of garish photographs looks much more appealing and is easier on the eye.

     

     

    Others will disagree.

     

     

    It’s in the eye of the beholder.

  13. What I liked about the previous banners was that it really was a cap doffed to legendary players, every visitor I took found it fascinating that

  14. Hot Smoked

     

    McGrory’s goal scoring was truly awesome .

     

    Regarding his fastest hat- trick in Scottish league football does it still stand ?

     

    As far as European competition does Mark Burchill hat- trick ,against a Swiss team I think,still remain the quickest.HH

  15. I could name all the players and say why they were legends (ok maybe i was a bit less generous about packy), also the banners on the south stand , hisotrical moments all with unique stories,

     

     

    if you know our history and all that,

     

     

    if all it is replaced with is clean lines and letters it is a downgrade.

  16. FANADPATRIOT on 24TH JULY 2022 11:35 AM

     

    I don`t know if that speedy hat-trick record still stands.

    National news announce crowd violence at Huns game yet no mention on BBC Scotland news 🤔

     

     

     

    BBC Scotland terrified now from the Gang

  18. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Surprised Chelsea ICF didn’t get blamed for yesterday’s disgraceful scenes involving Sevco fans and [ INSERT NAME ].

     

     

    No doubt the SMSM will pick the story up and present with their usual levels of accuracy, integrity, and impartiality.

     

     

    Disappointing initial response to the banners at our beloved Celtic Park.

     

     

    I hope the final versions are more pleasing to the eye.

     

     

    If not, our lingering hopes of winning the preseason title are all but ended.

     

     

    Wouldn’t be surprised if a report comes out saying Sevco banners rate higher than ours.

     

     

    Disastrous if that transpires.

     

     

    Our only hope of then snatching victory from the jaws of defeat will be in the hand wash event.

     

     

    Given Sevco’s previous experience of hand wash news management?

     

     

    … don’t fancy our chances

    !!BADA BING!!

     

    One arrest,no serious injuries[except police] letting off steam blah! blah! nothing to report here.

  20. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Bada Bing.

     

     

    Cheers – saw that.

     

     

    On a serious note – shouldn’t Aberdeen make a statement condemning the smear on their fans?

     

     

    Less serious note – would the Dons fork out on bus and train fare to come down to Glasgow to cause trouble?

  21. HOT SMOKED on 24TH JULY 2022 10:54 AM

     

     

    Numerous examples last season of a squad being led by example confirmed high morale and a togetherness willing to run that extra yard for each other, Joe Hart our 4 Japanese players, and watching Callum grow into a fine captain are the bedrock of that morale, having been in numerous dressing rooms if the good guys are in the majority, it saves the management a lot of work, I do agree we have signed some good men

     

     

    The contrast between dug out last season and the train crash that was the ten season

     

     

    In Rogics last game the way the players embraced him including a G/K sprinting 50 yards was very encouraging, team wise

     

     

    aff oot

  22. My son was speaking to the SLO , just over a week ago and he predicted trouble at ipox yesterday, as he was aware of 3500 Spurs fans being joined by hundreds of Don’s fans going to the game.

    No reason why Celtic shouldn’t have a TV channel…..or an App,use our own media,not the Laptop Loyal…
