Dundee United lost their first game back after the winter break; the seven games since have seen them lose only once, and that was to the last gasp Liel Abada winner at Celtic Park. The defensive qualities they showed that day have been evidenced since, as they have not conceded in the four games that followed.
There is a lot of football to be played in the three weeks before we face them at Tannadice in the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup, Celtic have at least six games, United have a maximum of four, a heavy load for the visitors. If Celtic overcome Bodo/Glimt in the conference league, they will have a last 16 tie on the Thursday before visiting Tannadice on the Sunday.
Despite our comfortable win there earlier in the season, the disproportionate load facing the teams, will make this a difficult cup tie.

Good morning cqn from another stormy Garngad morning.
Big Jimmy from yesterday morning of course there are no chumps allowed on 4th March.
I dont think it would go down well with the names some of them call Celtic supporters. It’s easy for cowards to sit behind a keyboard.
Hope you are in beer familiarisation training. :)

” ” I wouldn’t be so arrogant to assume to know how “Kev” thinks, how would I know what someone is thinking?” “….
……………………
ANOTHER thing….YOU have ASSUMED to KNOW that somehow I would NEED a ” GROUP” if I was to meet ” Kev” ?
I do NOT NEED a “GROUP” to meet ” Kev” or anyone else…including YOU..
So YOUR post at 5.21 9M from the 15th February ( above), Shows that YOU are being ARROGANT, and YOU certainly went on to ” ASSUME/DREAM UP”… what ” Kev” would be thinking IF I arranged to meet him in a Pub.
So you are not just a CHUMP…but a LYING CHUMP..
David 66 & Big Jimmy,
Sometimes when you meet a person in the flesh it is a total surprise. Chumps may not be Chumps.
You will be aware that every swally connected to CQN including BMCUW hoots have been an open invite.
However it’s your gig, your perogative.
Cheers and HH.

Ive STILL NOT been out anywhere, but I MUST go to the Post Office on or before the end of this week, and my nearest PO is in Glassford Street…across from the BLANE VALLEY Pub.
So that means Taxis there and back, but I will probably stop off at my Local for a few on the way back, since I am finally out and about ?
I hope that you and the family are all well.
Stay Safe Mate.
HH.
I see that our opponents on Thursday” GLIMST” BEAT Roma 6-1 a wee while ago, so I am expecting a very hard, close game on Thursday. ?
Hopefully, ALL The Bhoys play really well, and get the PARADISE CROWD going from the first whistle and throughout…that may also SPOOK the opposition ?
fingers crossed.

I am NOT about to let some CHUMP to disrupt any wee Bevvy session.
YOU, are of course invited to join us, IF you wish ?
HH Mate.
Its being ” REPORTED” that Prince or EX Prince has to pay £12 MILLION in Compensation, in order to prevent a Court Case….so just like Michael Jackson then ?
Where will HE get £12 MILLION ?
He cant have earned that much when with the RAF ?
Maybe he intends ” TAPPING” his MAW ?
Maybe its ALL TAX PAYERS Money that he plans to use ?
SCUMBAG CHUMP.
IF HE ” TAPS” his Auld MAW for £12 MILLION….Where did SHE get such a sum ?…..Oh…thats right….TAX PAYERS MONEY !
Will questions be asked of Boris in da House ?
How much of TAX PAYERS MONEY did Boris use to pay aff his STRIPPER/POLE DANCING Friend ?
Good morning from a very stormy Village.
I hope all this extreme weather takes a break tomorrow afternoon to allow the Celtic game to proceed unhindered. They say another storm moving in in Friday.
We’re doomed I tell ya. Doomed.
Good morning CQN
Broken UK
No 10 pressured me to drop anti-money laundering measures, says ex-minister
UK ‘laughing stock’ for failure to stem ‘dirty money’, says Lord Faulks QC, who was told to drop register by Theresa May’s No 10
A former Conservative minister, once at the heart of efforts to clamp down on money laundering in London, has revealed that during Theresa May’s premiership, No 10 “leant on him” when he tabled amendments to introduce a public register of overseas property owners.
Lord Faulks said he had first tried to put the register into the criminal finances bill in 2017 and then again into a government bill on money laundering in 2018. He had described the overseas ownership of “dirty money” in London as an obscenity.
Faulks, a distinguished barrister and now an independent peer, told the Guardian he was rung by Downing Street during May’s tenure and told to go to a meeting where he met civil servants from four government departments including the Foreign Office, business officials and the Home Office. They told him to drop the amendments – for which he had a voting majority in the Lords – because they assured him Whitehall had the issue in hand.
He told the Guardian: “I was obviously misled because nothing has subsequently happened. I can only think a deluded desire to protect the City of London has led to all these delays.
“It is a real irony that our reputation for protecting the rule of law is one of the things that attracts people who have very little regard for the rule of law themselves and come from countries which ignore it almost altogether.
“Quite frankly, I was leant on. I was leant on by No 10 Downing Street and summoned to a meeting of officials from all sorts of different departments, who told me it was very unfortunate that I was going to do this because the matter was in hand.”
He recalls that in return for dropping his amendments he was assured in May 2018 by the Foreign Office minister Lord Ahmad that the legislation on a property register would be passed in 2019 in time for it to be functioning no later than early 2021. He was asked to chair a joint committee of both houses to scrutinise the government draft overseas entities bill, the measure that would bring in the register.
The Foreign Office has been approached for comment.
His joint committee duly reported in May 2019, stressing that time was of the essence, and proposed improvements including verification checks to ensure that trusts could not be used to disguise the ultimate owners of property. On publication of his report he was assured by ministers that they understood the urgency.
Faulks, who has just completed a government commissioned report on judicial review, said “over a period of five years successive ministers have offered me emollient promises that the issue was in hand. What has happened? Absolutely nothing. In the meantime, frankly, we look like a laughing stock. We are not responding to the threat of economic crime. Instead, we are giving away golden visas and the rest of the world must think we simply do not care”.
London
Ministers accused of failing to stem flow of Russian ‘dirty money’ into UK
Read more
He branded unexplained wealth orders as pathetic, pointing out only four had been issued and said the issue of the resourcing of the National Crime Agency was critical. He pointed out that the idea of a register of overseas property owner had first been aired by David Cameron in 2015 and in a speech to an anti-corruption summit he had convened in 2016. He said perhaps “the climate is now changing because we all hate the Russians now”.
A growing number of Conservative MPs are seeking unequivocal assurances that an economic crime bill containing the register will be in the next Queen’s speech, regardless of whether Russia invades Ukraine.
Tom Tugendhat, the chair of the foreign affairs committee, said the government had done “nothing” to stem the flow of illicit funds entering Britain from Russia and urged ministers to act in order to stand up to the Kremlin.
In a Twitter post, he accused Vladimir Putin of running a “mafia-like organisation” and said that ministers should stop turning a “blind eye” to dirty Russian money in Britain.
“Dirty money has been an issue for decades but its poison is seeping deeper into our system,” he said. “For decades, Russian companies have used our markets to raise money – equities and debt – to finance the Kremlin.”
His committee has reopened its investigation into the breadth of Russian finances in the UK financial system.

aff oot windy today keep your high balls low
The tory coup is near complete.
The poors choice now, is heat or eat.

Good morning all from a windy Govanhill. Must keep off them beans.🤔

Innocent until proved guilty.

Andy is an entitled scumbag.
Just acknowledging your explanation for my garmin comment.
BTW saw the Skelpies for the first time last Saturday. Very impressed, but I’m quite old and actually had siblings etc who worked in the ‘yerds’ so maybe we (older guys) can appreciate the history more.
That was for St Stivs, obviously.
So that Robertson guy decides to allow 800 Celtic fans into the Victorian lavvy and we have to be thankful , when does he get to decide things at Celtic park for Celtic fans . As I posted on Monday I hope we never let anyone of that mob back anywhere near Celtic park , besides the score two weeks ago the atmosphere was the best I can remember at a game against them . In early April they will try to resemble that atmosphere with every filthy sectarian song in there repertoire which will be lauded as having the place rocking , we should have nothing to fear going there with none of our fans , we should have beat them without fans last time at there bit when we weren’t the team we are now . Only my opinion but tell that mob and that snake Robertson to stick there tickets .HH

Stormy Weather?
Or Stormy Daniels?
That is the question
folk saying that the 800 ticket thing was done to appease the hun hordes
but that doesnt really make sense because they will also only get 800 tickets for games at our ground so there wont be many of the horde there
to me this is been driven by a very small number of fat cats, probably on both sides, who are pressurising the clubs to get tickets for them for these games using their investment in rhe clubs as a bargaining weapon
Day Three of the Paul Murray Keith Jackson bromance. The one where the good guys were about to save their beloved club/company from the clutches of the evil Duff & Phelps.
According to our hero, D&P were hostile towards him from day one. Mmm….. wonder why that was Paul ? Could it possibly be that you had been in the building during the five years immediately preceding the shit hitting the fan, the EBT years and all the other financial shenanigans ? You an Accountant as well. Could D&P possibly have thought that you were a bit of a chancer, with a real brass neck ?
Keith didn’t ask Paul that question.
Paul then goes on to tell us that liquidation would be a disaster, to be avoided at all costs. Again, Keith didn’t ask Paul why that would be the case, and what the implications would be for the club/company. Paul is only an Accountant after all, what would he know about that stuff ?
Another coffee and maybe a chocolate digestive Paul ?
It was because they had sold out the Broomloan Rd stand to season ticket holders.

Lets all do the huddle
If I may I think you have missed the point. Making sense and appeasing the Hun hordes are usually mutually exclusive. As is for example ‘we are the people’, empty statement which the Hun Board, or certainly the Hun PR man love and the the Hun hordes love, again it makes no sense BUT it appeases the Hun hordes, job done.
LIONROARS67 on 16TH FEBRUARY 2022 6:46 AM
I read the opening paragraph thinking I would read the rest later. The anger I felt might just make me change my mind about reading any more. It seems astonishing. Who benefitted from finding all those people guilty?
ST TAMS
You are correct , they sold out the stand because they needed the cash to keep the lights on and didnt give a monkeys about the rules regarding percentages of tickets for visiting fans, then again when have they ever gave a feck about the rules.
Are the 800 seats in the same area?
If so, would the `fat cats` really want to sit there on a potentially cold day among a rabid horde?
Don’t take the tickets………………
Don’t visit thur midden……………..
When folks ask, tell them why Scotland’s Shame

Throw in something about the blessed face-painter as well so that everybody gets to laff at thum.

Brilliant link to Private Eye report.
Respect.
In truth though there is no need for forensic investigation.
Root cause is clear.
Fujitsu couldn’t afford another cock up on a government contract.
One of a small group of very large corporations who basically siphon money out of governments as a business model.
That conveyer belt of cash HAD TO be protected.
UK Government, for it’s part, couldn’t face the inevitable
“What, ANOTHER ‘Big IT’ cock up?” enquiry.
Simple solution.
Push ahead, see no evil, hear no evil.
Lives of “little people” will be totally destroyed … but hey ho.
Money, eh?
