  1. Well, for me the only thing ‘happy’ about this particular Friday is that it is Friday! If you’ve not lost the will to vote, remember the one whare you’re vote might actually make a difference – cqnpoty@gmail.com

  2. Good morning CQN from a dark and cold Garngad

     

     

    Feckin Conservitive bar stewards.

     

     

    Any way let’s put last night behind us and get on with the bread and butter when the Hibees come to town on Sunday.

    Was feeling a bit lonely here in the sunkissed land of the Scottish

     

    Jacobite and Irish rebel.

     

    God help all you good souls through the next few years of Tory

     

    austerity.

  4. FAVOURITE UNCLE on

    MELBOURNE MICK on 13TH DECEMBER 2019 7:43 AM

     

     

    IT will be five years MICK.I think you will see masses heading for your country now.

  5. FAVOURITE UNCLE

     

     

    Thousands came/sent here during the troubles, the clearances, Jacobite rebellion

     

    etc, and it’s obvious when our Celtic club has a function how many Aussies

     

    want to be there and ask questions about their heritage etc.

     

    Had a interesting conversation the other night with one of the rugby club boys

     

    who we let train on our smaller parks midweek, typical Samoan islander broad

     

    as he was high lol, said his name was Andrew Stewart, and he was so proud of

     

    his Scottish heritage.

     

    Started to tell him about Andrew being Scotlands patron saint, maybe i shouldn’t

     

    have bothered, he knew more about him than i did.

     

    So never discussed the Stewart thingy.

     

    As for the masses, well they are always well attended events in a predominantly

     

    catholic continent.

    Monday.

     

     

    Hoping to avoid Wolves.

  9. The goal Young Boys conceded last night was so bad.

     

     

    I’d genuinely expect St Mirren to do better.

  10. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    View from a dodgy stream…

     

    A unique event last night, a Celtic European game where the result was irrelevant. What did we learn though? I think we already knew, but last night’s game confirmed it, that Fraser Forster is a far superior goalkeeper than Craig Gordon. There was some criticism of our defensive display last night, criticism that may have been merited. However I think the whole defence suffered because of the goalkeeper, as Gordon’s nervousness and indecision spread like a virus to the rest of the defence. The only positives for the defence, were some much needed game time for Bitton, Boli and Bauer (the tree B’s). Boli started well, and it occurred to me, watching him on the field, that we have missed his strength and competitive nature recently. His early promise faded, but as I have already intimidated, the entire defence had a poor-ish performance individually, but also collectively, and imo that collective failing originated from the goalkeeper. If we are unable to secure the services of Forster on a permanent basis, I think that position is where the bulk of our transfer budget should be spent. If it was not for Forster, would we be sitting top of the league? Would we have progressed in Europe? Would we have secured the League Cup? I am not so sure.

     

    In midfield, I thought Robertson had a good debut, and N’tcham played better than he had recently, but understandably, as we were missing our entire first choice midfield, their effectiveness was, well… ineffective.

     

    Up front, there were two successes and two failures. Griff had a good game. His runs were plentiful and intelligent, he showed superb touch on more than a few occasions and managed to get a difficult header on target. Magic Johnston gives us energy and creativity up front, and he always carries a goal threat. His positioning wasn’t always perfect, but the entire team was a bit disjointed positionally, so not all his fault. I was disappointed in Sinclair’s contribution, and I think his Celtic career is freewheeling to an inauspicious ending. He will leave with my best wishes. He was the spark of Fradger’s inferno. Finally to Lewis Morgan. He is just too weak to play top level football. He was effortlessly shifted off the ball by whoever went to him when he had the ball. Unless he can somehow gain physicality, I see no future for him at Celtic. Being a playmaker for someone like St. Mirren is his current level.

     

    All in all, a very low key game, but the pluses are some much needed game time for some fringe players, and those returning from injury, and a well earned rest for the first team picks who stayed at home. The run outs for Robertson and Karamoko are another milestone in both their careers, hopefully as successful footballers with Celtic.

     

    On the minus side, we have learned that some players (Morgan, Bauer, Sinclair) are not good enough to improve Celtic going forward.

     

    In reality therefore, there were no actual minuses, as finding out some players aren’t suitable in a game that means nothing, is preferable to finding that out in a game that actually means something. All of the players now know that we can’t relax and still win games, we are not that good. So let’s all reset, pull the sleeves up and get stuck in. It’s all there for us.

  11. BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL on 12TH DECEMBER 2019 10:36 PM

     

    An error on this historical scale needed by some tonight

    ___________________________________________________________________________

     

    The 1948 US polls were spectacularly wrong because they relied on phone contacts. But the less well-off still didn’t have a phone in the home. So, the poll result was skewed towards the more affluent and the Republicans.

  12. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Fritz – cheers.

     

     

    Indeed. It was a forlorn hope for some last night.
