You have your opinion.
FAN-A-TIC
I’m a fan of Young Fisher, I was disappointed when he got sent out on loan. There’s something about him in the tackle as an ex fullback I like. If he makes under Brendan we could have two tough tackling, forward raiding fullbacks:))
Ajer I think could be the answer in front of the defence, I noticed today he’s no slouch either:))

Look forward to it Bobby but I am away in Ireland for 4 or 5 days next week. Hope to meet up with Thom the Tim there.
*****
What is it with you CQN chaps?
You say you are coming over here next week…and I’m heading for Edinburgh on Thursday.
I hope to be in Sharkey’s on Wednesday night though for the Imp game, if you are available.
Guid tae see the Cellic wining any game.
Early bells.
Didny see any of the game apart from the clips of the goals.
I think that Brendan should start winding wee James up wi
calling him a wee hun-plant fae loyal Ayrshire;-)…just like
Mr Stein would have got inside wee Jamesy’s heid and ran
a riot that would have produced a wee James that would see
the hun-animals queuing up to boot him aff the park.
Is Brendan devious enough to find the buttons to press ?
Hopefully Nir dizny play again for us.
He shouldny be near a Cellic strip after his acting tae get aff
the park stuff v the huns in the SCSF last season.
Nir keeps giving the ball away, surely grounds for the CQN
churnalists to bring a book out about him.
Anyway…Big Efe is our Yaya.
Will Brendan be cute enough to see it ?
Hail Hail Tims.
…..off-oot….
Ronny had a very good pre-season last term and these games are nothing more than fitness tuneups that being said, better to go into next weeks Champions League with a victory over a Bundesliga outfit than a heavy defeat. I see the temperature reached 40 degrees in the south Iberian peninsula last week playing football down there in July is madness.
Eric lives.
2 bhoys in the hoops at the test match – we get everywhere
Just back in from the game …. Excellent performance against a good German team …. The ‘standing area is impressive, as were the GB
I posted before the game about the conundrum of playing our Wednesday team and risking injury. Erik gets a sore one in the face. Damn.
Now another conundrum.
We have too many very good midfielders. Most showed it today. We can’t play all of them and we can’t keep them all. But who to ditch.
Bitton, Johansen and Commons can go.
Brown is, sorry to say, not good enough to keep his place in the team but I can understand why we would keep him.
But I can’t offer any preference on who are certain starters every game.
McGregor the closest.
Rogic, Armstrong, Henderson, Christie, Allen, Ajer all offer something different from each other.
Wide players we have fewer of. Roberts a certain starter.
Forrest & GMS inconclusive.
Full backs are well covered. Tierney certain starter. Fisher looks best of the right backs but Janko is close and a good stand in for Tierney if required. Lustig is next in line.
Centre backs. Surprisingly after today, I am ok with what we have. Erik is first choice. O’Connell, Ajer and Efe are capable and able partners. Yes, even Efe.
Up front. Griff and Dembele look more than able. Ciftci put in a really good shift today. But we need another quality striker.
Goalies are well covered.
BR: “I want to bring in additions, with more speed, but the players here are working hard and well.”
MORE SPEED!! Thank you Brendan.. exactly what we need all over the pitch
WEEMINGER on 16TH JULY 2016 1:57 PM
Kill Ultra – I’ve been following your chat with Canamalar because I’m interested in how somebody not involved seemingly has such detailed inside info.
However why on earth are you even mentioning Resolution 12 of the 2014? Are you deliberately obfuscating? It’s utterly irrelevant to the campaign of Canamalar et al.
———————-
Weeminger. Not involved? I’m involved to the extent that when I signed the resolution, and persuaded a woman friend of mine from London to sign also, we did so in the hope that we could get the plc to seek the truth. Instead, all we have had from it, and the requisitioners since, is a procession of lies, half-truths, and yes, obfuscation.
I had mentioned Resolution 12 in the context of Canamalar’s previous reply to me, when he said, “Res12 was adjourned, which is why it’s still live and the Plc are forced to make statements every year at the AGM’s about it.”
My comment, though was hurried and not very well put. It was prompted as I was going through Notices of Annual General Meetings from recent years and could find no sign of any such statements from the Plc.
Hope that’s a bit clearer.
Good win today. Well pleased!
STARRY PLOUGH
Darnell’s coach from his Earley days told me and another CQNer that he is a defensive mid.
DELANEYSDUNKY mentioned today we need another Vic.
We have one. Play him there.
A good win for the Bhoys today I think Brendan will have learned quite a bit from the game.On Wednesday it shouldnt matter who we play at Centre Back the Imps should never get that far up the park.H.H.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
Rings a bell that mate:))
Feel The Bren:))
He’s the Bhoy to sort it out!
HH
Are we back to being world beaters ?
The big youngster, Ajer, has pace and strength, as well as a decent-looking first touch, but he looks mightily one-footed …
VIP
Curled up winkepickers
Good news all round in the Homeless World Cup, Tims everywhere Cambodia Abu!

Are we back to being world beaters ?
=================================
Only til the Tywin Lannister Select pump us on Wednesday.
Just back from 403.
Enjoyed the game more than I usually enjoy friendly games.
Staunin area looked the biz,
However as soon as the first baw was kicked they all broke into a rendition of “Stand up for the Champions “.
Ironycsc. H.H
Big Cup Winners
Always world beaters…. Apart from getting beat sometimes
Bring on the Imps then the Kazaks (if they get through) last Tuesday will be forgotten if the bhoys keep winning
Get Scott Allan in the team to pass the ball forward, get Callum MacGregor in the team to commit defenders and play the Griff number9 through the middle to put the baw in the pokey
Good game today (for a friendly).
Dembele Griff partnership showed real promise.
Roberts and McGregor must start from now on.
O’Connell doesn’t look like he’ll make it at this level.
Today’s game also nails the summer football argument, so so cold and windy, this is meant to be July :O)
Anyway just cause I feel like it, my thoughts on some of our more vilified hoops today.
NIR— wiznae missed.
Broonie–love his heart,but needs help in midfield,never looked the same since big Vic left. (He ain’t an enforcer).
Jamesie– An enigma wrapped up in,ach you awe know were this is going.
Stretch— looked OK in the mid today for 20 mins or so but seemed to drift left as the half went on.
Shift-key—– looked more like the guy I thought we had bought from Dutd,as opposed to the guy we had seen in the hoops.
Efe— played like Efe, remember guys there is only “ONE F in EFE “.
Tell you this Bhoys
Give young Christie a game in his preferred position and he will be a star in the Hoops
Good first touch and quick feet, with intelligence to play the game
Hail Hail
Oh and further positive news
Thank you to the ticket office in sorting me out with 2 new season tickets in time for today’s game
And Jobo, we want to know how your hernia coped with the Safe Standing area :-)

Your not kidding mate F’n baltic up in 403.
Picked the wrang day to air my new bloody T-shirt wae a 12 on it.
At least in January I would have had a jumper with me:-)
As others have said no bad game for a friendly.
Suppose the most important thing was getting a wee bit of confidence back after Tuesday’s debacle. Thought the pace we started at would flood the Imps so plenty of that on Wednesday, plus the number of times the ball was passed FORWARD from the back was very welcome. The second half ‘team’ would take most SPL teams so looking good there as well.
Apart from the obvious I personally thought Scott Allan looked a player (in his right position) and was pleasantly surprised with Cifti – hardly perfect but worked really hard and was a handful for the Wolfies.
Oh, and The Huddle, it’s all about opinions, but I thought big O’Connell, despite his weak passing/choices at times, did quite well for a young guy. Put it this way, if Erik doesn’t make it on Wednesday I’d rather have Eoghan playing than Efe, and I’m NOT scapegoating the big man, he’s had his chance(s) and he’s blown it (IMO of course).
WITS
Cheers for horses mhate, made a few quid ! Only one let us down, Gran Canaria Queen and still Pyla to come !!
Oh and meant to ask, the ole hearing not being what it was, anyone got the words of the ‘Brendan’ song? Couldn’t pick them up in 102.
For future use of course, eg. Wednesday.

————–
After today I don’t think O’Connell will get the nod if Erik doesn’t make it, he has that bombscare look to his game.
I’d think Ajer has now pushed himself into first reserve for defensive roles.

Hope to see you on Wednesday- I might have the car with me if it is Sharkey’s so may be on the football specials and no booze
Saw glimpses today, decent run out and surprised with all the changes at halftime.. Maybe Brendan’s way of telling the 2nd half team they are not in starting 11 ? Anyway my team for midweek
—————-Gordon————–
———lustig—-Erik——-tierney
———Ajer——–Brown———
——janko—McGregor——roberts
——dembele——Griffiths—–
3 at back.. 2 sitting defensive midfielders and 5 attackers.. Janko to cover when we are under attack.
Easy peasy
Part 2 of my analysis.
Christie– good for a while then got better ,I believe they call that growing into the game.
S Allan– comfortable on the ball,but if this is possible he seemed (to me) to be trying to hard for the killer pass at times.
Liam— we should be building the team around this guy.
Janko– Never a left back/wing back in his or my life, so no judgement from me here until I see him on the right.

Excellent. Apart from the Football Specials!
I hope to have my two boys with me.
Just had a look at that gowf ( I was in Ayrshire once) on the big cardboard box in the corner.
Looks like Henrik is in front.
What was the attendance today? I thought about 20,000. Strange game, a friendly of course. We played some good football at times. Thought the Green Brigade standing added to their match experience. They were certainly lively enough.
Couple of very good goals. Was in O’Connell who had the misfortune of putting the ball into his own net? I thought we scored a very good goal which Madden ruled out for some reason only he knew.
Hope we draw a wee bit of encouragement for Wednesday, even though it was only a friendly. How is our CH? He took a very hefty knock. I thought AJer looked the part when he came on.
