Hot on the heels of a former Celtic player becoming the most expensive defender in transfer history, we watched Dedryck Boyata stroll through Belgium’s win against England last night. I would be more animated on this subject if he was secured on a five year contract, but as he his current deal only has one year to go, such a high profile performance could reduce our options for the player.
How many of you thought we would be in this situation after the Ibrox game in March? That day Brendan Rodgers said there was better to come from Dedryck. He is still not the finished article, but he’s a key cog in a team who fancy their chances in Russia.
Stiliyan Petrov match worn Champions League shirt raffle
We have a very special raffle, which ends this afternoon! The shirt Stiliyan Petrov wore in Celtic’s 0-0 draw with Bayern Munich during our 2003 Champions League campaign is available. You can buy a ticket for £1 here on ebay. Stan signed the shirt.
All proceeds go to the Stiliyan Petrov Foundation to aid research into leukaemia and cancer treatments. Stiliyan’s recover from leukaemia shows us just how far treatments have come, but as our own CQN community knows too well, more progress is needed. The draw will be made at Woodside Hotel, Aberdour, where the 14th annual CQN Open Golf Day is now underway.
Hope to see you later.

was that the royals or the despots.none of that lot were communists.might have said so but DEFINTOOTLY no chance they were,ps am no wan either.
Jobo, packing it in on here,well if you can’t stand the heat in the kitchen,well maybe it’s time to go,In my time on here,I too have been subjected to badmouthing,but I’m still here,and if some my opinions don’t go down well with some Celtic Supporters ,you know what,TO BAD.

As a side issue : Any interference in the 2016 US election was under the watch of the Obama regime.
Is the Clinton foundation still under investigation?
Putin swings the Brexit vote?
Putin hacks the world cup.
Russia must really be an amazing country as you say. Ideology has really transformed too : From many of us idolising it to loathing it nowadays.
Amazing indeed.
FAVOURITE UNCLE – The Black Book of Communism suggests otherwise.
GREENPINATA – Ain’t that the truth…

SFTB While the focus has been on Russian interference in the US election, Recent disclosure shows the large influence Putin had on the brexit vote … lots about Aaron Banks and his dealings that has been suspected, but is only now starting to trickle out
*Was talking to one of my grandsons about the prospect of Russia winning the WC, his response was that even as bent as FIFA is no chance as Russia aren’t that good. I then said “son I’m half a century older than you and if Vlad the Bad can run the West Wing, winning the WC will be a breeze”.
BTW NATO is on its way out as well.

Seriously?
Did France defend and lump it yesterday?
Have Croatia?
The Portugal v Uruguay was a classic game of attack against a great defense and fast counter attack.
Quick forward play will be the new way.
Purposeless possession is over.
Spain gave a clear demonstration why it is easy to counter and the reason the much lauded Pep has failed in the Champions league for 6 years..
All you have to do is hold position with 2 banks of midfielders and defenders and there’s nowhere to pass through as Steve Clarks Kilmarnock proved against Celtic.
Good morning all,,
Just read the news about Jobo. At first I was afraid that it was myself set him over the edge but reading between the lines someone at the golf said youre a moderator and it has peed him off ? Maybe Im wrong.
Jobo,,youre an absolute gentleman and when you return your friends right here will be delighted. And for what its worth I thought you were around my age with all the running then I read youre a granda,,,respect my man. I hope to put a pint in your hand one day at a hoot. Take a break and let life carry you along. Take care and Hail Hail.
Big JImmy,,I hope you take this post in the spirit its meant in.
Youve been referring to chumps,,drivel,,keyboard warriors,,arrogant etc.
And I also found out Big Packy will no longer post after an altercation with yourself. May I ask what he done to upset you ? If it was just write on these pages in a style you yourself dont appreciate then Im sorry you were very wrong . Very wrong indeed.
Chumps,,,we are all just posters and no one is more important than anyone else. If you read opinions you dont like or someones online persona is not what you would call interesting then thats your problem.
No one on here is a chump,,,we are just Celtic fans with a different opinion.
Besides what gives you the right to label anyone on here a chump?
Drivel,,,well that is subjective. I dont do small one line posts. And I find the line “ youve got mail “ to be a form of drivel since the person will find theyve got mail when they open their email. But who are we to judge. A person might have arthritis or even be on a phone where long posts are hard. If you think theres too much drivel then perhaps do something about it by sparking debate. I certainly try to.
Keyboard warriors,,,,this cracks me up. As does references to bullies. There are no bullies on this blog. THere are people with a different opinion. The blog is way too smart to allow bullying. If someone thinks your post or posts were out of order then you get pulled about them and you have the entire blog page to defend your post. And if the blog thinks youve been harsh on someone then you hear about it ( ala what I am doing right now ).
Everyone on this blog is equal,,even the better known posters. THere are no warriors here.
THere is plenty of hot air sometimes but its easy to break down ( look at SFTB yesterday,,he did exactly that ) .
Arrogant,,,the written word can come across the opposite of what we intend sometimes. A contributor may come across as arrogant when they infact had no intention to.
But lets say someone was actually arrogant,,so what they are arrogant. Some people are meek and humble and some are arrogant and full of themselves and there are many others.
If a poster is arrogant that is his right. If the blog was full of the same type of person it would be boring. Theres many on here that I wouldnt call “ up my street “ but i would never ever be soo rude as to let them know. They are all precious,,,just ask that woman in Malawi who is getting her kids fed and educated because of the fine fine people who inhabit these pages.
Now you support a team open to all so why not support a blog that is open to all?
Perhaps in the interest of comradeship and to be the bigger man you should extend the hand of friendship to some of those those you denigrate.
I sincerely hope this finds you in good health.
Hail Hail

Urban Fox has won twice. I have a healthy profit from her. She’s a belter.
STARRY PLOUGH-always thought liniker was ok until his auf wiedersehen moment.Like a Hun who’s only joy is seeing their rivals get beat:-))thanks for the reply,was beginning to question my deodorant:-)))
Has anyone read my post from earlier this afternoon ?
I’m looking for any video footage from the Mass in Lisbon last year.
If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.
FAIRHILL BHOY
I think he is okay, it just the World Cup brings out the worst in them:))
It’s the desperation I guess to be a “big ” team.
They’re not bad but I can’t see them doing much with that defence and no one to pull the strings in midfield against better teams!
Craotia Denmark:))
Tasty looking game..
HH
Holy Moly
My Dark Horses one down already:))))
FAN-A-TIC! How dare you try and win an argument using logic!
I responded to you emotionally after Spain going out. You are correct obviously.
Defend and lump it or tikka takka? Well, they aren’t the only choices.
However Umbrage will be taken if you are suggesting that Man City’s manager is a failure?

Ps I’m going to assume I don’t need a smiley face after my opening line.

Whit a Rammy of a start!!!
Spain disappointed today, but if that VAR decision in extra time was against anyone other than the hosts a penalty would have been given.
DD 6.50pm
After betting both teams to score double yesterday I got a wee message fae Willie Hill today, max bet £10 but 6/1 for both teams to score in today’s games …. 3mins gone coupon up
Loving this World Cup :-)

Cheers.
I am not a fan of Pep.
Great coach but his strict adherence to his system has been the reason he has failed in Europe.
He needs to be a little more pragmatic as do a lot of other coaches obsessed with possession above all.
I still think until these guys understand and separate possession into positive, neutral and negative then results like today will happen often.

GUTENBERG-agree ,can you imagine the carnage ARMAGEDDON:-))

Aye that horse has been good to us I backed it initially because Delaneys and I have an affection for our furry friend Reynard DALMUIRFOXCUBS CSC !

System is not perfect but if it stops diving fannies being rewarded i am all for it.
STARRY PLOUGH-the first good team they come up against,there fecked:-))Tuesday hopefully:-))))
No Jobo no point.
Fairhill Bhoy
Gave a wee insight into what would likely happen in Bonnie Scotland.
However I’m still in favour as it would reduce the Masonic MIB influence, even if only a little.
Supporting the Danes here cos my granda Thomas Delaney’s namesake plays for them.
Pair of Irish rebels I am sure.
GUTENBERG-yip agree,but it will never happen in this environment,thanks for your reply:-))

Just to say thank you so much from my good lady who has just quaffed the EDEN MILL BERRY BRAMBLE COCKTAIL.
Lovely, she says.
Thanks for your kindness on Friday and best wishes for the future.

Word of the day: swivel
Disappointed to see Jobo leave (hopefully for just a while). As the signs on the various town name plates coming up from Cairnryan say:
Haste ye back!
ALMORE
