I don’t know about you but practically every football thought I have at the moment is connected to where we go next. The small matter of winning the league title has slipped into ‘foregone conclusion’ territory, which is always dangerous.
The players will be no different from the rest of us, but they will have more on their minds. A change of manager is likely to mean a new system, and new squad requirements. They need to focus on making the best of the next five games. One thing that has been reassuring this week is Ronny Deila’s comments. His professional pride is clear; he’ll apply himself fully to the task in hand until the end of the season.
Eyes on the task of winning the league, as soon as possible.

Have a good lie in.
With one day off this week it sounds as if you deserve it.
And a wee drop of the hard stuff.
Mid arvo. Sydney.
Tomorrow Anzac day. BIG day in Oz. Holiday with respectful ceremonies at the Dawn Service followed by a total piss up and “two up ” a wee gambling game involving two old pennies.
Very traditional.
Cheers, pal.
Anyway,
Here’s how some Celtic fans are in danger of being viewed….
Lord it’s hard to be humble…(to save the pain of a stupid link without a warning.)

Cheers MacJay,
The above was posted before I read your last one – sorry son.
You have a real good Aussie day.
All the best from Dingwall – we’ll speak after the game today.

Hard to be humble…..

Dingwall.
Half your luck.
I was in the Western Heilans last October .
Glorious. That was the opinion of my family.
And mine.
Enjoy the game , pal.
“I also want to thank Dermot Desmond, Ian Bankier, Peter Lawwell, the players and my staff. They have given me everything.”
MacJay,
North West Highlands – I’m no sure exactly how much coastline – an awful lot. My area of wee bit knowledge is Wester Ross and Sutherland – and I’ve seen barely a fraction of that. Wee bits down Argyle way as well – Oban Connel direction…spent primary one in LochGilphead funnily enough; beside the Crinnan Canal.
Lived in Scotland all my life and know it better than most but know enough to know I’ve barely scratched the surface.
Quiet has now descended – and the doos, (wild – no mine) – is the only sound I hear.
The quotes from Ronny Deila’s press conference, IMHO, indicate more class than shown by his predecessor at the time of his sudden departure.
Some people just won’t let go . As already pointed out result wise on a par with predecessor.
Lessons to be learned as always and hopefully mistakes rectified.
New person requires the support of us all and whatever will be, will be.
Hopefully he can do better but no doubt there will be some only too anxious to condemn/vilify if things do not work out. HH
Mate
Glencoe.
Fort William to Glenfinnan.
Loch Nan Uamh (Sp. ?)
Arisaig
Morar
Mallaig.
Been to all the other places you mention.
Beautiful spots.
Tinge of disappointment that the world has discovered Mallaig
thro` the Harry Potter movies abd arrives on trains over the viaduct at Glenfinnan.
Still , I suppose that`s progress.

Lenny` s departure.
Thereby hangs a tale.
Maybe one day, but the fact he wishes to return surely speaks volumes.
MACJAY,
I actually do like Neil Lennon – not sure about a return.
My point was that things did not work out with RD who originally was supposed to be hired to develop the youth programme. He sure made mistakes but to call him “a dud” is not only unfair but if we can comparing the records with his immediate predecessor, untrue. I am pretty sure he did not set out to fail and he is not the only failure.
The man is going. No need to keep hurling insults. Only my view as to how we deal with things. HH
See what I mean?
Seen Mallaig from the Skye side at Armadale there.
Been in Fort William a thousand times, (did you know it was called Maryburgh before King Billy built the Fort?), but I have only been as far down the road to Mallaig from there as Glenuig – to a folk festival one night. I have never seen the Charles Edward Stewart monument at Glenfinnan.
Great places, great people. I have friends from Morar who came to Dingwall in the 70s.
I always have a wee smile to myself when on the BBC Gaelic news they mention Fort William. There is no word in Gaelic for “Fort William”. They say, “an Ghairisten”, (sp). The Garrison.
Where MacDonald of Glencoe failed to meet the deadline of the oath of alliegance to King Billy…and sparked the infamous massacre at Glencoe.
Good morning CQN
Kevin Mckenna as say on last weeks shambles

===================================================
How do you know that?
Incidentally,I didn`t call him a dud.
Glenfinnan is great altho` you can`t now climb the monument without paying for a guide.
The march of regress.
Close by is the viaduct. We climbed up there to watch puffing Billy go past.
Loch nan Uamh ..where the Bonny Prince arrived over the sea from Skye.
The Clachaig in Glencoe .Spent a happy night there in my youth. :-)
The food now overpriced….like everywhere.
The Pap of Glencoe. And Carnoch.
Magic.
Well Well !!!!!!!!!!!!

That should take the wind out of a few sails.
But won`t.
Odds tumbling on Steve Clarke. I suspect he’s our back-up if Moyes returns to Everton.
Hiddink?

Steve Palmer in his Racing Post column today
”
Over the next few weeks, my betting fortunes rest in the hands of the Wizard of Wishaw, the Celtic chief executive and the voters of the United Kingdom. I wonder if anyone else is reliant on that eclectic mix of characters?
I have a ton each-way on John Higgins for the World Championship at 20-1, along with a £120 double with Hills on David Moyes to be the next Celtic manager (2-1) and the UK to vote Leave in the EU referendum (15-8).
Come on Mr Lawwell – Moyesy is clearly the right man for the job. And come on everybody else – vote Leave. Ignore the speculative whining that we might lose a few quid here and there by leaving – smash that enormous 15-8 Leave price to pieces and you’ll probably have covered any losses immediately.”
Italia
Aussie Guus Hiddink.
Did us proud in Germany until ten man Italia got a dodgy penalty.
I am guessing that it was the Blue Order who organised the Sevco TIFO display at Hampden last week ,and that it was representatives of The Green Brigade who organised the one at the Celtic end.
Whoever it was .The Sevco one ,was by far the better display.
It was colourful ,it was in support of their team and their fans.
The one at the Celtic end was pathetic .
We have had some marvellous displays at Hampden previously.
Then 15 mins into the match .
The Hun slayed the message about Zombies ,with their Zombies are fictitious ,Paedophiles are real , banner.
Whoever made up the display ,needs to up their game
.
You were beaten off the park as comprehensively as we were on it.

It was only the huns.
Who cares about impressing them?
MacJay, all those dodgy penalties are fully paid for, I’ll have you know.
The Herald online :
Control Freak has puppet tell all he is a great guy.
Whatever next to save is arse —-CQN leader on his exploits.
No paradise for me today. Oldest Bhoy said he will give it a miss. He goes everywhere to see Celtic even bumping into Paul the Tim at youth games a few times.
His coup de grace was disappearing on the overnight train to see Celtic play Brentford arranging hotel in London and telling nobody. We eventually tracked him down after the game , we were up the wall with worry. My wife flew down that night at short notice and took him home next day.
Last weekends capitulation and the way the club is being run has probably see him make a decision I thought I would never see.
There is something seriously wrong in the state of Denmark.

Am i reading you correctly, you are praising a banner using pedophilia as a successful way to point score at a football match, i disagree totally, we have very different views on how to support your team, praising a banner which sprang from minds in the gutter, a banner sprang from a deep irrational hatred of Celtic and reflected the madness within the Sevco support
Poor comment TT
TT
I didn’t realise they had displayed such a vile banner. Confirms all we already know about them. As for the GB trying to point score over that type of filth, I’d much rather they didn’t. The zombie thing is a bit of banter, THAT paedophile one you refer to is disgusting. . Lowlife.
Lionroars
Indeed. Spot on.

LOL at that. :-)
Slightly ironically.
The imminent departure of the Swiss cheat and the intro of video refs. should make that a bit trickier.
Hopefully.

Norway , mate.
Good Morning Timland.
Anyone want to have a go at what side we will
put out today,I never could get a handle on RD
team selection’s.
Would like to see some white smoke ASAP.
Macjay
What is the point of the whole TIFO ethos ,if not to add colour ,support and atmosphere to your support.
Our effort was poor.
Lionroars67
That was not what my point was intended to do.
There is an irony in you point.
Our banner reeked of being obsessed by them ,and mocking them,instead of supporting Celtic.
They new what was coming and topped it.
Those that want to get all defensive on me and politically correct, bash on.
But my point remains.
TT
The Sleekit(s)……it’s part of a campain……………
Celtic’s problems are their opportunity………………
Macjay,
Denmark mate….Hamlet is the name of the game. Even Obama got in on the act.
A Shakespeare tour company did a unique world tour with a cast from all parts of society. They played refugee camps, Pakistan days after the big bomb, Vatican. Only North Korea didn’t allow them in. In a Syrian refugee camp a huge cheer erupted when the evil Danish leader was killed. There were subtitles for all.
Yep, there is something seriously wrong in the state of Denmark.

Macjay,
Noticed your quote there about such and such giving me everything, one thing is for sure, the players most certainly did not give Ronny everything, what do you think?

======================================
I`ll take your word for it.
Twisty – agree re banners –
That mob know no shame but their klannish, white, proddy supremacist kulchur of hate is stronger and more virulent than ours of anti-establishment humour and political consciousness……….instinctively they go for the headline jugular because they always have.
Ronny Deila, a yes man to the end.
Also a small man, always talking down our potential. Away and manage Stromsgodset pal, that’s your limit. Not ours.
