Hope you didn’t miss Agathe Christie’s A Crooked House featuring a certain Christina

I think what Jose was trying to point out was that unbridled non football earned income will stifle competitiveness.
A huge dollop of “ya think Jose?” irony but rivalries aside he is correct. Where does it end? The CL being a round world trip in different countries between Man City, PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid with Messi and Ronaldo etc as diminutive versions of Meadowlark Lemon (and if anyone doesnt know who Meadowlark is, it is past their bedtime).
In a way it’s nice to see the once big boys experiencing what Celtic have had to endure for years but in the long run it stops football being a sport.
On player development I think if James Forrest has taught supporters anything it is that we know sfa about what makes a footballer.
The main ingredient being patience and encouragement not impatience and criticism if for one game or a moment in one game they make a serious error.

MADDEN GETS TO SWING THE LEAD
Watch his inadvertence getting nowhere near the box in Celtic’s swift attacks.
“Did I miss that?”.
No point in Griffith’s now. It has to be Dembele to counter Madden.

Being a Republican is easy. You can stand by your memories of the old Jungle and singing the “Rebs” or you can really go for it and call yourself “Warrenpoint 18” . Except its not like that at all.
The Republican ideal was borne by true men of honour—McCracken, Tone, Henry Monroe and their ilk. Theirs would not include bombast or ignorance.
As some others have observed,it is Hun-like.

“The main ingredient being patience and encouragement not impatience and criticism if for one game or a moment in one game they make a serious error.”
If only supporters could understand this.
Player encouragement
I got a ticket for yesterday’s Vale v Coventry game (son’s mate was away) – anyway after about 10 mins another of his mates is right on the back of one of our players who in my opinion was doing ok. Told him that maybe a bit on encouragement wouldn’t go amiss. He shut up after that.

One Malloy
When I think back over the year, I dont think I’ll forget Lisbon, especially Jacklyn chasing the taxi to recover the napsack left behind…………she was so fast that she caught the cab 100 yards in front of the one that the bag inside.
God bless and HH
—————————————————————————————————-
Hello my friend, Lisbon was indeed a special trip, Jaclyns Usain Bolt like dash saved the day no doubt. Time spent with so many good CQN people will ensure it lives long in the memory. I’m sure we will meet up again at a future BMCUWP’s inspired Hootenanny.

I think BR charts his sides weeks in advance with militaristic precision and Moussa Dembele will start against Sevco, as he’s very highly unlikely to have been influenced by idle agents especially ones being followed round England by MSM. They look for what passes as news, and even in Dembele’s case lead to the inevitable, “ I’d drive him to the airport myself if we got £20M “
I was surprised when Leigh Griffiths started at Tynecastle and that’s the way BR likes it, shuffling Edouard and the two more recognised target men almost game by game. Both Dembele and Armstrong rested for Dens but significantly on the bench and both introduced late on with Saturday in mind.
It’s difficult for fanatics to embrace the old Jock Stein mantra of ‘one game at a time’ but this block of three towards our seven, started with a win and will most certainty end with a humping © Chris Sutton. Sevco even when at their best are a very inconsistent side who can get lucky with the breaks , but when they don’t arrive their defence becomes porous.
Although he was axed Caixinha’s employers still have to live with his cobbled together legacy, a band of nomads not even familiar with cold weather never mind could shoulders down in Govan, at least they’ll get a hot reception in their vision of hell, which we call paradise then they’ll disappear like snow off a dyke.
Bringing your own referee has its perks but no amount of SMSM fibbery or men in black mibbery will save them like last time, as this side real Sevco the second Caixinha’s crocks isn’t a a patch on the remnants of the magic hats.’ What a bonus for timdom that the car salesmen and booking keeping bigots of Sevco need to rip it up and start again, again.
Old Rainjurs history can’t help the new club this Saturday or any other for that matter, but then that’s where they maintain the mistakes made in 2012 when the slate was wiped clean by liquidation.
Only a fool would predict the result of a Celtic v Rainjurs game, nowadays we can safely predict Celtic 4 Sevco 0.
Big Packy,
Cheers…I found the volume icon just before I saw your post.
I couldnt see it for looking.

Good luck on Saturday, Bobby Madden. Nor fear nor favour.

Just remembered last game @ Ipox when Mikel shoved Windass who took the legs fron Pedro. Lol moment.
Tam R opened scoring and the Griff finished it.
Same game the SMSM described McCrory as a great prospect whilst forgetting he got skinned AND handled the ball in the box.
Keep telling the rednecks its gonna get better SMSM – you did it with their old club :-)

Where did you read that news?
Johnny Hayes, rotten luck,…….come back fitter, stronger and even more determined. We’re with you.

I have just Googled and found the story in the Irish Independent and also in The Sun. There were no direct quotes but if Bada Bing is reporting it, there is probably some truth in it.
As well as being a great shame for Jonny who has being showing some quality, it also highlights the gamble involved for those who want us to spend millions on any given player.

I cant find any news on this,if correct bad news for Johnny, hopefully straight forward treatment and rehab.

100% correct
If the news about Jonny is correct , its a big blow for Jonny and our squad.
His last 4 apearances for us , have shown us his confidence has increased , with him playing better.
His lay off to Griif yesterday , in the build up to our first goal , then rushing into the box , arms waving , wanting the ball crossed , to me , was a sign of him now being settled into our squad.
I hope his break is a clean one and his recovery is as quick and straightforward as possible.
Josh Meekings has another negative impact on us.
RTE report on Newsnow stating Jonny has broken his Tibia and requires surgery to have a metal rod put in.
****GOALS GALORE 3-Your Invitation****
Good late afternoon folks and I hope you all had a very pleasant day. Thank you for all the entries to date and I will respond to you later tonight.
3 days to go to the launch of our brand new competition, “Goals Galore 3” which will commence this Saturday 30th December.
Simply pick a different team each week over the course of the next 10 chosen “fixtures weeks” and the entrant with the highest aggregate goals scored will take the top prize (roughly 90% of the total prizepot).
To keep everyone fully involved, there will be a separate prize (about 10% of the total prize money) for the entrant who does best over the final 3 rounds. So even if you get off to a disappointing start, there’ll still be everything to play for as the weeks go on.
The cost of entry is £10 per team entered and this gets you one free joker which, when played, will double your score that week. You can also buy one additional joker for £5.
The prizepot will consist of 50% of the entry and joker fee, with 50% going to support BRTH Mary’s Meals funding to feed and educate schoolkids in LIberia,
Thanks to an initiative from Mary’s Meals, donations made to the charity before 31st December will count double in value, hence our early start date.
Really, really simple to take part and all you need to do for now is just register your interest by sending an email to cqnpredictor@gmail.com . If you have a moniker, nickname that we can use to identify you once the competition starts then please tell us that. We’ll get back to you with full details asap.
Please feel free to tell your family and friends, share on Facebook, involve your work colleagues, etc. We are a competition Open to All.

So it would appear that big Virgil will be joining either Chelsea, Liverpool or Man City for a fee of c£70 million.
Celtic should then be due c£8.5 million courtesy of the sell-on clause when he was sold to Southampton for £14.5 million(?).
Huns ragin’!
…as per usual!

15% of profit on original £13m is £9.3m. Happy New Year Virgil!!!

Der Hun’s new angle is to deduct VAT. and agent’s fee’s which, believe it or not, leaves us with a net loss apparently. I know I know….Thank God we don’t go to their schools.
Disappointing news about Johnny Hayes
Stuck in town shopping with family, those early kick offs lead to daft promises being made in a drunken haze☘️☘️☘️
I agree lets not use inflammatory IRA connotative monikers. It should be quite rightly condemned and reserved for true men of honour who fought for the Republican cause.
Lets use this media platform to demote radicalism and freedom of speech and as hypocrites encourage our honorable business custodians of Celtic PLC to facilitate their own remuneration and pocket lining.
Nothing quite like promoting corruption in a bigoted vicarious way on a national scale while simultaneously being sancTIMonious about it. A bigoted feel good factor you could argue.
It’s what Jesus would have done.

wee reminder
The Inverness Caledonian Thistle defender Josh Meekings is set to miss the Scottish Cup final after being offered a retrospective ban for handling Leigh Griffiths’ goal-bound header.
The Scottish Football Association compliance officer Tony McGlennan has issued a “notice of complaint” to Meekings, whose transgression was missed by the six match officials on duty at Hampden on Sunday when Caley Thistle beat Celtic 3-2.
Meekings has until 3pm on Wednesday to respond to the charge with a hearing date set for Thursday if his club decide to contest the ban.
Caley Thistle immediately announced their intention to fight the suspension. In a statement, they said: “Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC can confirm that it has declined the fixed one-match suspension offer in relation to the notice of complaint issued to Josh Meekings following an alleged breach of disciplinary rule 200 at the ICTFC v Celtic game on Sunday, March 19 2015.
“The club intends to vigorously defend our player and is taking legal advice on the issue.
“We are extremely disappointed that this has arisen and the player himself is mentally shattered at the turn of events.
“Josh is keen to appear in person at the disciplinary hearing and we will most strongly support him by all means available.”
Inverness are already missing the other half of their central defence after Gary Warren picked up his second booking of the competition against Celtic, which instantly ruled him out of the 30 May Hampden meeting with Falkirk.
Huns raging?
One of their threads on Sevco media is basically advocating violence in the streets after they get pumped at the weekend..
Got a tenner on them getting a jolly 5-1 rogering at 40/1.
Bourne, Josh Meekings is a wee misunderstood soul.
