  1. BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS

     

     

    I would love to come to a hoot, I would of course be at the soft drinks table:))

     

     

    Every CQN’er I’ve met has been a proper Celtic Toff and I’ve still got a load of Legends tae meet!

     

     

    In fact did we not have some posters from Paris before??

    If and when everything has finally unravelled will the SFA have arrived at a position where they no longer accept and promote the same club narrative?

  3. BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS,

     

     

    Didn’t click the link to the DR article. Best bet is photos were lifted from Facebook or some suchlike. It’s how the rags operate.

    According to legend wee Jamesie can put a frozen chicken into the freezer by kicking it with the outside of his right foot (it’s how a lot of his injuries happen).

    I agree, I believe only two other Celtic players managed a shot on target…

  5. Billy applied for a fork lift operator job at a famous firm based in Glasgow.

     

    Paddy applied for the same job and since both applicants had similar

     

    qualifications, they were asked to take a test and were led to a quiet room

     

    with no interruptions by the Manager.

     

    When the results were in, both men had scored 19 out of 20.

     

    The manager went to Billy and said, “Thank you for coming to the interview, but

     

    we’ve decided to give Paddy the job.”

     

    Billy, “And why would you be doing that, are you a sectarian racist?

     

    We both got 19 questions right?

     

    This being Glasgow and me being a proddy surely I should get the job.”

     

    Manager, “We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you got wrong.”

     

    Billy said, “Tell me now, how would one incorrect answer be better than another?”

     

    Manager, “Simple. On question number 7 Paddy wrote down, ‘I don’t know.’

     

     

    You put down, ‘Neither do I’.”

    Don’t post much but thought I’d share a few thoughts from today.

     

     

    Glad to be through to quarter final draw but once we got the first ten minutes over that wasn’t much fun today. With a smaller than normal crowd and no one to talk to I did more thinking than I normally do at games.

     

     

    The centre section of the pitch was cutting up badly as the game progressed, getting the ‘end game’ new pitch can’t come soon enough.

     

     

    Big Jozo was all over the place and looks really low on confidence. Is this really the same guy who did that tackle on Miller? Maybe get rid of the blue boots as a starter for ten big man :-)

     

     

    The Ref is a cheat and we all knew that before today’s game started. What I noticed today though was the number of times he pulled Thistle players to the side to have a ‘stern word’ with them which meant only one of their players was booked despite their physical approach. If any of our players had tackled the way for example Woods and Booth did, I guarantee you they would have been booked! Micro-cheating is the new buzz word on social media and McLean was micro cheating today!

     

     

    The lack of protection to KT is my biggest worry, it almost feels like every opponent is allowed one free hit at him that won’t e penalised with a yellow card and often won’t even result in a foul being awarded.

     

     

    Possession is never the best clue to how a game will end but to have 63% and come within an ace of drawing a game 3-3 does not feel right.

     

     

    Shots and shots on target is probably a better and more reliable factor and 2 goals from 5 shots from Thistle is a much better percentage than 3 from 15 from us.

     

     

    My biggest worry though is the left hand side of our team where KT and Sinclair were simply not an effective partnership for the vast majority of the game. As a result KT looked really frustrated and was much less potent in forward positions than normal.

     

     

    If Brendan came into my work I’m sure he’d pick holes in my work so I’m certain he’ll not be too worried about my thoughts but as a fan I’d love to see us get our swagger back.

     

     

    PS, great hat trick Jamesie, well done ☘️

    STARRYPLOUGH

     

     

    I’d love to have you at a hoot,and I think we all would.

     

     

    Howsabout you tell us when you are home,and we give you a big huge welcoming party?

     

     

    Sounds like a pretty damn cool idea to me.

  8. Billy was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living.

     

    All the typical answers came out, Fireman, Policeman, Salesman, Mason, Captain of Industry, etc., but Billy was uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.

     

    “My father is an exotic dancer in a gay club and takes all his clothes off in front of other men.

     

    Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he’ll go out with a man, rent a cheap hotel room and let them sleep with him”.

     

    The teacher quickly set the other children some work and took little Billy aside to ask him if that was true.

     

    “No”, said Billy, “He plays football for The Rangers, but I was just too embarrassed to say so”.

  9. Colour Blind Bhoy

     

     

    Good post. The pitch to me is a baffling situation. There have been a couple of 3 week spells this year where no football has been played on the pitch and yet it is still a mess. I certainly hope that phase 2 of the pitch upgrade provides a better playing surface! Particularly in light of how many times our certain halves are given the ball in pressure situations…

     

     

     

    P.S. KT is become the worst culprit for just passing the ball back to the left CB and expecting him to deal with the problem of a high pressing opposition…

  10. tin hat on but thought we were very sluggish, thistle seemed to be quicker after 15 minutes of our domination, would paddy and tom and stuart have made a difference i dont know, bring on the zenit.hh.

  11. As Air Force One arrives at Heathrow Airport , President Trump strides out to a warm and dignified reception from the Queen.

     

    They are driven in a 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London , where they change to a magnificent 17th century carriage hitched to six white horses.

     

    They continue on towards Buckingham Palace , waving to the thousands of cheering Brits; all is going well.

     

    Suddenly, the right rear horse lets out the most horrendous earth shattering fart ever heard in the British Empire .

     

    The smell is so atrocious that both

     

    passengers in the carriage must use handkerchiefs over their noses. The fart shakes the coach, but, the two dignitaries of State do their best to ignore the incident.

     

    The Queen politely turns to President Trump and says:

     

    “Mr President, please accept my deepest regrets… I am sure you understand there are some things that even a Queen cannot control.”

     

    Trump, always trying to be “Presidential,” responded:

     

    “Your Majesty, do not give the matter another thought … Until you mentioned it, I thought it was one of the horses.”

  12. Two defensive mistakes made what should have been a pre Zenit stroll a lot more difficult than it should be. Performance wise, except the first 20 mins, we were poor. Too slow, too many sideways/ backwards passes and whilst playing the ball out from the back can be an effective attacking optiIon, fannying about with the ball like Simunovic and Lustig were guilty of from start to finish is not. Zenit will destroy is if we play like that. We won’t though as we will be more up for it and play at a higher tempo. The question is why weren’t we today?

     

    Something doesn’t look right.

    FAIRHILLBHOY

     

     

    I absolutely LOVE a good idea!!!

    Mark me down for any two of the three.

     

     

    Mibbe even just the one…

  14. A Win Today And Onto The Quater Finals!

     

     

    Maybe not defending the Trophy as determined Holders but none the less…

     

     

    Got to say a huge well done to Jamie Forrest, Hat Trick, great goals…

     

     

    I remember James as a lhad, when he started playing for the first team, was such an exciting prospect. Always direct, always on target. Why we coached that out of him and hide his shooting boots I’ve no idea. Sure he’s had fitness issues but Brendan has assisted James in becoming his potento

  15. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    ALMORE

     

     

    Which took me from then till now to verify.

    And good company, the Swiss are a poor substitute for most people but not even in the same ballpark as Scots and Irish:))

  18. BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS bobby you know im a dog lover having 2 westiies so pass on my condolences to the owner of the dachshund.hh.

  19. Ernie Lynch

     

     

    That (ending the same. club narrative) would not be a stated objective but if a proper job is done it could be an unintended outcome.

  20. Bobby, I would love to see a root and branch change in refereeing in Scotland. But one very simple and easy start would be to make each referee/official declare the traditional team of their support. eg ex season ticket holder. They should not be allowed to officiate at that clubs matches. It would be a start.

  21. JIMTHETIM53

     

    They would just lie, there would be hunners of Morton, St Mirren a la chic young referees out there.

     

    Simpler thing is to make them accountable for their decisions, after every game they have to justify them, if they don’t reach pass marks, they get demoted and lose the cash.

     

    HH

  22. Great to see the interims, brilliant result. If we can hit €150M in revenue in a sustainable way, we have real potential to be a Tier 2 Club and build a platform to be competitive in a European sense.

     

     

    PL was emboldened by the figures to go out and give the SFA a serious warning shot across their bows.

     

     

    Some naysayers said he missed the target… nonsense, it was a smart and measured response – it was a clear-call for a clear-out and restructuring of a not fit for purpose organisation.

     

     

    Well done Celtic, onwards and upwards.

     

     

    Hail Hail
