All kidding aside the over reaction about Celtic dropping points at Easter Road (a ground Brendan never win a game) and Livingston which was a bad yin but canny blame the players or management as it was 3 days after a massive performance against Cluj ..
We need to take the good with the bad and in my opinion there is far far more good than bad :-)

Spot on… I think most are Celtic supporters we post and move on
Like yourself I have been lucky enough to meet a good few CQNers … P67 created a terrific site that has done far more good than anyone could imagine
On that note … bedtime … school run in approx 9 & 1/2 hours
We reside in terrific Celtic times
Lazio next to have the privilege of being able to play at Celtic Park
Fellow Celts good night n god bless, am still waiting on that elephant getting down from that tree :-)

Funny how you can be completely wrong about anything.
Watching two older ghuys dancing about at our big day yesterday
Long grey hair, old style heavy checked shirts, denims , boots, no
Celtic colours actually thought they looked like farmers.
Till one of our committee told me ” that one there owns about seven
pubs in Melbourne ”
Well you could have knocked me down with a nother glass of rid biddy.

Trying to pick the top 5 albums of all time. It’s been a struggle. Anyway Here goes. 1. Blood on the Tracks (dylan) 2. Stone Roses (stone roses) 3. Who’s Next (the who) 4. Dark side of the moon (pink floyd) 5. Sgt Pepper (Beatles)

TICTAEWIN – trying to decide on the 3 top players from yesterday’s game was difficult enough. The top 5 albums of all time – now that really would need some thinking about. If you have a spare email address kicking about (or like me, just create a gmail one to collate the responses, I’d suggest cqnbestalbumever at gmail dot com !) you could maybe collate responses over the next month or so and then reveal what’s likely to be a top 100.

Difficult exercise since no one has heard all the albums of all time. Interestingly, I have your first 4. I remember waking up fully dressed in darkness on the floor of my house, almost out of my mind on a mixture of Purple Hearts (amphetamine and barbiturates) and Bacardi, wondering why all I could hear was a constant loud clicking. Turned out I had headphones on, and the turntable had reached the end of “Dark Side” a few hours before.
If pushed, I might consider Aftermath, Sticky Fingers or Ya Yas after your first 4.

Thoroughly entertaining yesterday but the things you miss at the time, when you’re in the park.
Just watched Sportscene highlights;
goal1, Mo Elyounoussi benefits from ricochet off County skipper’s legs – Fraser og
goal3, Callum McG knocks ball off goalie’s ankle when he shoots – Laidlaw og
goal6, County manager’s wife told her husband ignore Boli he’s a liability – Mrs Kettlewell og
We have one of the most under rated Managers in the World IMO.
Welcome to Celtic Park Lazio – I hope you like Most do Njoi it despite getting beat, play well and sportingly and win or draw you will get respect and applause from the Celtic Support.
Ciro being rested – nae way in the World will he want to miss playing @ the Real Holy Ground fitba wise.
Big Tam you need to retire frae Aussie fitba IMO if you want to be the 10 man.

Good morning CQN from a very cold and dark, but dry Garngad
Weeroch1 sorry for not replying, I was knackered last night and went off to bed.
We are up on Roystonhill where the convent was (Holy Ground😂)
I said last night I have been here for 20 years. It’s 25 and married for 30 next year, ffs I better no forget that next year. All in all been going about the Garngad for 33years.
My wife and all her family are from all there days and all ex St Roch’s pupils.
As I said I love our wee piece of the garden of God and have made good friends over the years.

Soooooooo looking forward to Thursday where the focus changes from our wee bowl to the big pond.
Where reputations are formed and the European glamour and exposure helps attract the foreign players we all want and need.
Top of two leagues is no mean feat. We know where our priorities lie.
Bhoylo’s post yesterday about the Herald’s “5 things Gerrard will have learned from the Hearts Game” was surpassed by the article itself.
To summarise the relentlessly positive 5 points , their headings are:-
1) Tynecastle still packs a punch- (Nothing to do with Sevco; it was just a tough away game against a team in 11th place)
2) Vexing day for the visitors (the poor lambs suffered from all those players on. International duty like Aribo and ….erm.. Tavernier?)
3) Semi-final Scouting report- This was not a defeat at all- merely a cunning ruse to get Levein to show the master tactician, Gerrard, all his team had to offer. Gerrard was following Napoleon’s dictum “Never defeat your enemies when they are giving away their secrets”
4) Harsh lesson for Hickey- he may have won his team 3 points but he was exposed by the Sevco players he lined up against.
5) Ryan Kent’s return is timely- This is just a misuse of the word timely- he really meant a week too soon unless he is a closet Tim (Stewart Fisher) and feels that Kent’s return was responsible for some rare dropped points by the Sevco mob. He also laments the Ryan Jack was not allowed to play because he faked injury to get out of sitting on a bench for Scotland.
You don’t need The Clumpany when the Scottish Press satirises itself like this.

A crisp and dry start to the day in ole EK.

Slick performance at the weekend – 28 shots on goal is not to be sniffed at no matter who we’re playing. Good feeling to be back at the top of the league table again. :-)
But now to the serious stuff – Top 5 LPs, in no particular order :
Dylan – Blood On The Tracks
Bowie – Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)
Fall – Live At The Witch Trials
Beatles – Revolver
Pixies – Come On Pilgrim
Ask me again tomorrow and I’ll give you a completely different list!
‘Mon the Hoops!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems the majority of Huns are blaming the fact Ryan Jack didn’t play yesterday for the result

LAZIO
Lazio 3 -Atalanta 3 .
Important game . Stadium @ 40% full .
Proverbial game of 2 halves . Atalanta 3 up at half time . Lazio were a shambles . Really really poor defensively . Crowd really gave them the bird as they left the pitch at half time .
Much better in the second half . Looked interested and motivated .2 of the 3 goals came from penalties . Both scored by Immobile . Second one was sure thing , the first one was the result of a highly skilled piece of simulation from Immobile . He is very good at it
Lazio now 7th in Serie A . They will be 8th if Fiorentina beat Brescia tonight . (they should ) Post match saw Inzaghi bemoaning loss of form / lack of concentration and amateur league defending
South Of Tunis on
5 LPs -( much prefer 45s but Hey Ho )
These will do for today — they’d definitely make my top 100 . Tomorrow would likely see another5 –
Eric Dolphy -Far Cry
Hank Mobley -Soul Station
Kraftwerk -Kraftwerk
Augustus Pablo -King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown
The Congos -Heart of the Congos .
A fine 45 for a lovely mid 20s day -way down south-
After a bad result, the Lapdogs always have a default headline for Sevco

LAZIO –
Today’s Fitba Pink claiming that Lazio will make big changes for Thursday’s game in Glasgow .. Sunday’s game away to Fiorentina is allegedly much more important . The good news is that Denis Vavro is predicted to play . Slovak international centre half signed in the summer from Copenhagen in the summer ( 11 million euros ! ) – early days but he looks to be an absolute tottie . Watched Lazio v Rennes – every time he touched the ball you could hear the crowd (if you could call it it a crowd ) express their anxiety… Bombscare a la Olivier Tebily

Lenny and the Bhoys are well up for getting 9 and a Good run in Europe, into the later stages of the Europa League.
Ross County were very unlucky to meet such an annoyed Celtic.
Celtic were irresistible on Saturday, the young right back had me aff ma seat a few Times in the second half applauding him. Well done young Jeremie.
Competition for places is strong and the squad will need to be utilised to the full up until the Alan Minter break.
The young Jeremie is unlikely to feature on Thursday as the Top Quality El Hamed will take up that position if fully fit.
Wan thing is certain, Lenny is the Man.
TICTAEWIN
CQN loves a list
O.K after much consideration here’s my top 5 albums.
Obviously they’re not picked for musical excellence but i played
them constantly over the years and still do.
1. Rod Stewart..Every picture tells a story
2. Beatles.. Abbey Road
3. Shania Twain.. The woman in me
4. China Crisis.. Working with fire and steel
5. Celtic songs.. Various artists including Glen Daly
Couldn’t leave that one out as it’s given me comfort in tough times
and it’s the first thing wee Grace put on as soon as she enters the car 8-))

Ross County played the game the right way on Saturday.
Ross County are coached very well IMO.
Keep being brave RC, some cracking bits of skill in the midfield, especially 1st half.
Fitba might break out in Scotland sometime soon.
