Energising offensively

1455

I’ve spoken to many Celtic fans over the last couple of days but I’ve not met one who would have preferred Roy Keane to be our manager instead of Ronny Deila.  Despite some impeccable references, Ronny is a largely unknown character, but there is an appreciation among the support that we need to come up with a plan to enable the club to over-achieve in Europe.

The man’s performance at the media conference was faultless.  It’s not important to quick-witted but his use of words like “energise” and “offensive” is promising.  Football is in the entertainment business and Ronny appears to appreciate the link between the way his team perform, not just their results, and the ultimate satisfaction supporters’ leave the ground with.

Our thanks to the Greenock Celtic Supporters Club for hosting last night’s CQN Lions fundraiser for the Celtic FC Foundation.  We were fortunate to be entertained by Willie Wallace, John Hughes and Bertie Auld, it was a fantastic night, full of laughs.

Special thanks to those who attended and helped raise over £2000 for the Foundation, and to those who promised to get involved with the Foundation.  The club is in good hands with supporters like those in Greenock last night.  Big shout to Joe and Mick for bringing a familiar old friend along.

Visit the CQN Bookstore to get Tommy Gemmell to sign your personal copy of his tome, All the Best.

    Very good!

     

     

    No harm in watching girls go by. Look but don’t touch!

     

     

    Preffered music in such a situation? Marvin Gaye and Al Green!

    Heyho…!

     

     

    HH!!

  2. That appeal from Fergus was the type of thing that the MSSM have been doing for Sevco for the last two years. I fully support Fergus in this action.

    Oh,I would never be so bold as to differentiate between the frequency of untruths by a politician on purely party lines.

    Major regret is never having seen Marvin live. What a way to go – shot dead by your father!

     

     

    Al nearly copped it as well at the hands of some mad wummin who had become infatuated with him in the 70s. He survived and found God.

     

     

    Saw him live in Glasgow in the early 90s. A wonderful experience.

     

     

    Great song from Edwyn and the boys btw.

     

     

    Still sitting here watching!

     

     

    HH!!

    That is one of my favourite debut albums. Regularly gets an airing.

    BMCUW and Tallybhoy

     

     

    Also love Marvin and regret never seeing him sing.

     

    Saw Al Green at the Concert hall about 8 years ago and he was fantastic, charmed the ladies all night but he is as mad as a box of frogs.

    Having backed 4 seconds and a third at Musselburgh on Saturday while Mrs C and her friend picked 16/1, 25/1 and 33/1 winners by choosing from the pictures of the jockeys in the race card I am not going to suggest any horses today.

    When I saw (the reverend) Al Green in the early 90s, he came on stage wearing a brilliant white suit and clutching a large bunch of red roses which he proceded to distribute to some of the ladies in the audience.

     

     

    Fantastic gig!

     

     

    HH!!

    Two points – I see Abramovich of Chelsea is being linked with buying Hibs (!) in Spanish press. Obviously Rommy boy sees the rarefied atmosphere of the Championship next year as the place to be – don’t we all?

     

     

    Also Fergus gives full support to the methods of current board- good enough for me.Though it is obvious they are doing a good job under difficult circumstances

    Women have spent my whole life pissing me off.

     

     

    That is just one of the reasons.

     

     

    Flakey Dove springs to mind about 20 years ago. The lads and I had just spent the usual coupla hours poring over the form on a Saturday and she jinxed us wi a casual ‘put a fiver on for me,that’s a really nice name!’

     

     

    I never seemed to back horses wi nice names….

    Our Board certainly are doing a good job, despite the nonsense spouted by one or two (only) on CQN, who seem to be happy only when they’re unhappy….!!!!

    I’ve tried every permutation of numbers to call you.

     

     

    Just look out for the auld geezer in the Scotland top in the pub you’re going to tell me that auld geezer is going to show himself. I do know he is looking forward to meeting Auldheid and BRTH but he needs an address.

    Balance is the key.

    Seems North American Sevcovites had a coven at the weekend. Chap called Boyle causing FFin’ consternation:

     

     

    “Want to thank the cretins from SoS/Union of F*ds who ruined Graham Wallace’s speech…Behaviour unbecoming bears and definitely more tarrier like……I thought Teresa Zellas was going to get up and batter them at one point.”

     

    ——

     

    “Boyle, Teresa, any McGuires?”

     

    ——

     

    ” Teresa Zallas – obviously not born a Rangers supporter but digs up [Descendants of the Drowner]?”

     

    ——

     

    “She’s been a Rangers supporter for 14 years now.”

     

    ——

     

    “Who did she support before that, if I may ask ?”

     

    ——

     

    “I wonder how many times Teresa has been to Ibrox?”

     

    ——

     

    “Lucky it was only some boo’ing! I’d have landed one on his jaw”

     

    ——

     

    “Run our club the Rangers Way be transparent

     

    Who the hell is this Teresa ?”

     

    ——

     

    “The fans are getting beyond a joke this is not the way to conduct yourself !

     

    Behaving as you say like catholics !”

     

    ——

     

    “I’ll believe what King says when I see his lips moving.”

     

    ——

     

    “Wallace went to a Rangers convention thousands of miles away. He’s like Cesar. Rome is burning and he refuses to acknowledge that he can smell burning.”

  23. thomthethim for Oscar OK on

    Boyle, Teresa, that’s what happens when you stop taking your children to Mass.

     

     

    Your grandchildren will be ….misguided.

    Is it not a touch hypocritical to berate Salmond for waving the Saltire at Wimbledon? Not that Im a big fan of the guy but Ive read for years on here how politics and sport are inextricably linked but yet its crass when Salmond does it even if that was the biggest reason he waved it.

     

     

     

    If Andy Murray meant his comment that Salmond shouldnt be doing it he deserves a swift yin in the stanes.

    God love him. If he’d gone to a Kafflik school maybe he wouldn’t have confused Cesar (sic) with Nero.

    Just looking at potential opponents in CL qualifiers. It’s going to be even tougher than last year.
