Football the morning after the night before

844

We should commission a study into what happens to football teams immediately after a big game when they need to play a less illustrious opponent.  This week Kilmarnock got a better result against Celtic than Barcelona, and unlike the Catalans, Kilmarnock were away from home.

Cast your memory back five years for a better example.  Celtic beat Champions League holders, Milan, remarkably the only time the club have recorded a win against reigning champions, and met Gretna the following weekend, at Fir Park, Motherwell.  Gretna were promoted that summer but had cutbacks forced on them, as the financial gamble to promote them to the top flight.  Still, a James Grady free kick caught Artur Boruc on his heels.  It took goals from Chris Killen (remember him?) and Scott McDonald in the final three minutes to save face for Celtic.  Gretna failed towards the end of that season and were subsequently liquidated.

Celtic got the better of both Spartak Moscow and Benfica that season.

    ‘It’s there in black and white, you wrote it.’

     

     

    ###

     

     

    This is what I wrote

     

     

     

    ‘Did a lot of them initially regard their sexual relationships with their abusers as consensual and as entered into of their own free will?’

     

     

     

    And the answer, unpalatable as it is, is yes the girls involved did, at least initially regard the relationships as consensual.

     

     

    That doesn’t mean I think the relationships were consensual.

     

     

    If you can’t understand the difference, just say so.

    Lol.Pleasure meeting you a few weeks ago-enjoyed the company very much.

     

    Springhall lad by the way.

    ‘ERNIE LYNCH

     

     

    You are hiding behind semantics.

     

     

    Here is exactly what you said.

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~BTW

     

     

    The child sex slaves. Did a lot of them initially regard their sexual relationships with their abusers as consensual and as entered into of their own free will?

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~

     

     

    Now,to me it is perfectly clear that you are implying it,even if not saying it outright.’

     

     

     

    #####

     

     

     

    That’s just ridiculous.

     

     

    The problem for the authorities in a lot of these cases is that the victims don’t regard themselves as victims.

     

     

    That’s the point.

     

     

    Seems to be too subtle for a lot on here.

  6. I can see where Ernie is coming from. Some abused children may believe that there is nothing wrong with what has been done to them. This is part of the brainwashing that abusers use.

     

     

    Some use fear to avoid reporting. Others brainwash.

  7. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    ernie…,

     

    Understand everything you say clearly, back sliding and wriggling is poor debate.

     

    Ok explain what you meant by “perpetrators”, my first mistake according to you ya scumbag

  8. I can’t resist to say few words.

     

    Really don’t understand why discuss such very sensitive matters on CQN?

     

    Maybe I’m mistaken but have feeling that some are trying to say that they are smarter than the policemen, psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers.

     

    Is CQN mad today? Very dissapointed.

  9. Guys

     

     

    Never before have I done anything like this.

     

     

    But could I ask everyone to cease in regards this topic.

     

     

    Otherwise we’ll have armageddon on here.

     

     

    There’s grenade pins being pulled and people falling over themselves up to dive on them (Not the pins).

     

     

    Do yourselves a favour and stop this carry on right now.

     

     

    Please.

    ‘ernie…,

     

    Understand everything you say clearly’

     

     

    OK

     

     

    So you agree that if I ask whether a victim regards a relationship as consensual that does not mean that I am saying that the relationship is consensual?

     

     

    I’m glad we agree on that.

     

     

    Now, would you like to apologise for lying about what I said?

  11. I can’t see anything wrong with what Ernie Lynch said, are folk picking him up wrongly?

     

    Reminds me of the case where a paediatricians house was attacked as they thought it meant paedophile.

     

    Mob mentality methinks.

    Aye it was a grand night-I’m not used to being out in company which doesn’t spend all night arguing!

     

     

    Clearly I need to spend more time in decent CELTIC company,a real pleasure.

  13. Zbyszek,

     

     

    Of course they think they are smarter.

     

     

    You can add football coaches, players, managers and board members to that list ;)

  14. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    All perpetrators have been dealt with ?

     

    I said naw they’ve no, you say they have, I list people I think are perpetrators who have not been dealt with, you tell me I’m twisting your words, now your telling us were no intelligent enough to understand your subtleties, when in fact your subtleties have only one purpose, to allow you the misunderstood claim, when the inevitable consensus is reached. SCUM

  15. My Dear Friend..Terry O’ Neil.

    Haven’t posted in ages, log on for a lurk right into a debate about pedophilia, with people attempting to make jokes about sex with minors?

     

     

    A sad day for CQN….

     

     

    Sickening, crass and morally repugnant, hell mend you if any of your loved ones are victims of such abuse….

     

     

    Well said Zybesk, logging out for another few months.

    It IS very disappointing……. we should all just hope and pray that the authorities eradicate all of the depravities in our sick societies…… They have a hard job ahead of them, but I get the impression the drive to eradicate it is being accelerated by recent revelations.

    ”All perpetrators have been dealt with ?”

     

     

    #####

     

     

    What I actually posted.

     

     

    ”Not least that perpetrators have been arrested , charged, tried, found guilty and imprisoned.”

     

     

    Now. Can you tell me where the word ‘all’ came from?

     

     

    Logical fallacy number one. Misstate your opponent’s case.

    Jimmy Savage was a perv move on.

     

     

    After a big European away game rest the players involved for the next domestic game and tell them yer gonna kick Rayo Vallecano’s arse 5-0 unless they’re playing killie

  21. Margaret McGill on

    I saw the huns won today against Clyde. I say give it 3 years 4 tops and they’re back …

     

    wait…wait..there’s more important things to talk about like pedos not sebos

    ‘with people attempting to make jokes about sex with minors?’

     

     

    I must have missed that.

     

     

    Unless you’re talking about Jerry Sadowitz. In which case you’ve missed the point a wee bit.

  23. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    ernie…,

     

    No, again you try and choose ambiguity over clarity to allow you the cowards way out, misrepresented. You know there were a lot of abused who went to the authorities who are paid to protect them, they were turned away and listed as prostitutes.

     

    Yet in your mind its ok to declare the authorities who are paid to protect them might have got a wee bit confused, so that’s ok then eh. They didn’t mean it, they enabled the slavers, but confuse that with kids that think they are adults and we’ve got exactly the cover up I accused you of at the start.

     

    Why did you raise that line of discussion when there were plenty of clear cut examples ?

     

     

    Again ” perpetrators all dealt with” ?

  24. Margaret, Is that Robbies dad?;p

     

     

    I’m not fussed for speaking about the Huns but I agree with your point, time to move on to less sensitive subjects.

  25. Margaret McGill on

    Pedos are a sick depravity that should be dealt with in our society. Criminal cheating to deprive the govt of £200m in the pedo dealing dept should be dealt with even more severly. That reminds me who owns Ibrox?

  26. To this day anytime I see someone with the 1970’s style long side breezers I think of them as a hun. Jock Stein obviously had a similar thought pattern when he insisted that Alfie tidy his act up prior to joining us in 1977.

     

     

    Apologies to all Tims reading this who are sporting the said look.

     

    :-)

  27. Ernie I think he is refering to the “sex with miners is the pits” gag.

     

     

    Not made by yerself.

  28. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    ERNIE

     

     

    I saw Jerry Sadowitz earlier this year in Swindon.

     

     

    He was outstanding,though a lot of his subject material was a bit,well,raw.

     

     

    Of course,you buy the ticket,you know what yer gonna get. Which is why I was amazed at so many people walking out.

     

     

    Inexplicable,IMO.

  29. I remember going down to Somerset Park to see Alfie in i’m sure his 1st outing in the hoops, bet my mucker a 5 spot we wouldn’t chant his name ……………………..Lost a fiver.

     

     

    Never ever was Alfie Conn a hun.

    You’ve clearly got a bee in your bonnet about this issue.

     

     

    Fair enough.

     

     

    But that doesn’t give you any right to lie and spew insults as you see fit.

     

     

    You post as if you’re drunk. Maybe you are.
