Issue 5 of CQN Magazine is out today with some exciting changes. We’re moving print production into the UK for this issue, which will be available after the game against Rangers, with 8 extra pages not included the online version, covering all the drama from next week’s game.
We have a couple of retrospective articles touching on the momentous events of 2011, including an interview with George Galloway, discussing his book about the life Neil Lennon has had to endure. As you would expect, George doesn’t shirk out of the tackle.
We also have an excellent interview with Elaine C Smith, talking about growing into her life as a Celtic fan, her work and tackling domestic violence. We cover the recent Football Bill and question the possible agendas behind a senior police officer, and recent striking referee, reporting Celtic fans to Uefa.
We stick our first toe in the short story water, a clarion call to Reclaim the colour Orange, tons of great fan memories, many of which you’ll share and plenty more, it’s all there, including typos and deliberate mistakes!

Lennybhoy…Supporting Neil Lennon and CFC until I die says:

Regarding Luke Chambers I think the story has been bouncing around fan sites for a few days, think it was the Daily Express who ran something yesterday mentioning it.

Heard Terry on clyde last night and felt a bit cringy listening to him. He left himself open to ridicule and got it from king(billy). Ive no doubt he’ll come back with guns blazing and bury the bamm!!
celtic should ask the supporters what strips and colours would you like to see the players in. me i dont rate nike for football strips .the 3 strips that celtic play in now ,to me are bad designs, i think addidas make cracking sport tops
Good afternoon,
I will be heading over from Dublin for my first ever old firm next week!!
Have been to Celtic many times but mostly with non-drinking family members.
This time there’s a few of us going over and due to late kick off will be looking for a good bar to spend the afternoon.
Can anyone recommend me somewhere to go for some celtic banter/music etc
I appreciate this way be a really obvious request but due to working weekends and not being from Glasgow etc I have not got much info on this.
All help/suggestions welcome.

I’ve two words to make you treasure the wearing of socks………………Charlie Nicholas.
BSR
If the socks are orange, blame Paul 67.
Thanks Thomthetim.
Was McGrory still the manager for that game. Must have been one of his last before BJ. CG never really got a fair deal from BJ IMO. I think BJ once said “You’ll never win anything with 11 Charlie Gallaghers” which may well be true but a bit unfair on Charlie

That station runs with that same story every 2 weeks.

Ha ha. Wylie was known as Big Jake in my day. What a character. Used to buy us a pint when we met him in the pub.
Ahhh the memories. Need to write this down before dementia takes hold……….

Did we not wear orange socks at the Elland Road European Cup semi-final … ?
Paul
Thanks.
Not all are card carrying doofuses!!!!

I must have been listening to a different programme.
Dawell’s defence of MBB was the most cringe-worthy thing on Snyde last night.

Totally agree re the orange away kit – I have thought for a while it would look great on the park. I would suggest (a wee bit of a twist on your design…) Orange jerseys, orange shorts, and green/white hooped socks. It would look a wee bit ‘Ivory Coast’ and would suit our multinational team, where we have several black players who would look superb in the kit.
I suggested it on here already – and think the Club would be surprised by it’s popularity.
Good to hear that some other fans feel the same.
The ole CQN fair brings out the sock gang, I see.

Still no coverage of the petting zoo. Himalayan animals not ‘trending’ on CQN? Everybody suddenly went all anti ibex? And me just secured a pair of Musk Ox with the last of the Aiden McGeady Money.

In order to be ‘respectable’, how long a period of time must pass before Sir Walter gets a job at the SFA or UEFA?
Uly
Tell him they’re a perfect home from home for him, BTW have you ever noticed how long it takes Charlie Mugrew to fix his, before he hits the wall with his free kick?
*drives me crazy*

I think this top would be a cracking seller. Maybe even add a bit of white in the middle and it’ll sell like hot cakes.

re: orange kit.
This is a tough one, there is a fine line between
looking good – Holland
and
looking crap – Dundee United
Plus we’d have Tennents splashed cross the front :-( (in most cases literally and figuratively)

I must have been on a diff prog too. Terry was on abt nicknames. Ive heard him better!! Dawell? Like a boil needing a good lancing!!
HaiL HaiL pal.
Oh Paddy dear, oh did you hear the news that’s going round,
That Irish songs of freedom are by law forbid at Scottish grounds,
The anti-Irish crimes of hate, that data can’t be seen,
But they’ll be jailing men and women for the wearing of the green?
Oh the wearing of the green, oh the wearing of the green,
Will they jail our men and women for the wearing of the green?
Tradamus Lampada forever!!!!!!

We did.
Did Leeds not lend them to us as our white socks clashed?
Sorry, imus!!!!!
I feel a chorus of “Hose that team they call the Celtic” coming on.
Philbhoy at 15:30
One story I heard was that they offered us orange socks as the manager of Leeds thought that would annoy us having to wear orange.

Celtic Supporters Club on the London Road is good, band on up the stairs and it’s handy.
Trending is trending on CQN.

I remember that game, too.
My recollection was that it was 1961 or thereabouts.
Celtic had been a demoralised shambles in the first half.
But, as often happened then, a completely different Celtic came out for the second half – strong, fast, skilful and much too good for the opposition.
They should have been winning title after title long before 1966.
Charlie Gallacher’s goal, minutes from time, was just unsaveable.
EK St Briders
Big Jake in the 70s legend…. after celtic got gubbed 3-0 by Upest Doza, we had the big man for English, he came in sat down never said a word …. total silence for 50 minutes …… one lad sort of coughed eventually ……. big man threw a total wobbler , clobbered the unfortunate soul with 4 of the best….
He used to run a sweep on a Friday in the class, for first scorer , Home 2, Away 6 sort of thing…… not sure many of the pupils used to win, always thought the big man would have been more at home in the Chemistry dept.
Just to clarify the original school team colours were orange tops, white shorts and orange socks a la Blackpool.

It’s little known that at the height of his fame Charlie Nicholas actually owned and wore invisible socks.
Fact.

Craig Whyte´s a billionaire
His floating charge is very high
The peeple far below beleive every single lie
They aren´t very bright
He´s completely see through
They turn a blind eye call him a real good guy
The flag that he unfurled
has the pillagers beleiving in his schemes
The delays on the bills
The drying up of income streams
Laptop gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their lies
They´re heading to despair
They’ll be gone in the blink of an eye
A week until there´s no more money supply
Suddenly swooping low on a rubbish heap
He´ll get to buy the midden on the cheap
Craig Whyte´s a billionaire
his financing has gone bone dry
And every hun belives he´ll get by
The budgets very tight
he´s presiding over the end of the blues
The laptop loyal are often in denial
but not half as much as youse
Craig Whyte´s a millionaire
He used to be a billionaire
