When I researched yesterday’s article (yes, research does happen sometimes) I was far from encouraged. Udinese had an impeccable home record and Snr Di Natale is one of Europe’s irresistible strikers at the moment.
We didn’t manage to resist Di Natale but he will remember Fraser Forster for a few years. We have been fortunate to see a few great goalkeeping performances in Europe in the last decade but last night Fraser was second perhaps only to David Marshall that night in Barcelona. That last minute penalty save against Hearts on Saturday has moved the player onto a new platform.
Udinese had a good 20 minute spell when they looked every inch the team joint top of the Italian league but they were on the rack in the closing stages of the game. Cha DuRi has had an eventful Europa League on the road this season. He was a bit unfortunate at the Udinese goal but completely out of luck when he twisted his body mid-air to volley off the post.
Watching Georgios Samaras last night was a lesson in how complex a game football can be. This is a player who could not hold down a place in the SPL last season, yet playing in a different position he had top-flight defenders throwing themselves at him in order to inhibit progress.
There is still work to be done, but the return of three first choice defenders will enhance the team considerably. The most pleasing thing about last night came after the game; Fraser Forster’s focus was immediately on St Johnstone. It’s all about Perth now.
Issue 5 of CQN Magazine will be out soon. Hard copies will be available direct, at a considerably reduced cost from our current Magcloud arrangement and with a fast delivery turnaround. Details soon.

Lionroars: exactly!
Italia: I don’t disagree but it hardly helps in that ‘war’ when the likes of Lawwell, Neil Lennon do the LL’s work for them!
MWD: perspective? Some on here don’t seem capable of anything approaching it…
sigh…
West Wales Celt
CQN is drowning in Über Tims.
MWD butter wouldn’t melt in their mouths.
lionroars
in retrospect i think you`re correct re Lenny
he should have passed it onto PL …
however …………….he may be fed up with stupid incidents causing him hassle
imo
i would imagine Big Jock,MON and WGS taking a similar stance
SUMMA OF SAMMI 0902
I’ve always known the big fella is a player,the problem has been reminding him of it!
I salute your faith in him,and admit mine had wavered,but I’m ABSOLUTELY delighted for him,and for Neil too.
He’s the man who got it out of him where so many had failed.
re team set up on Thursday
just the job for the Hun game
MWD
You right
Imagine Celtic fans posting about a Celtic story.
On a Celtic blog!!!!!!
Where will this madness end.
Stringer Bell Über Tim
Imagine Jack.

Your post makes no sense.
Stringer Bell
Give it time super Tim.
MWD
Summi. R u joining us for breakfast on the 29th?
Is tomorrow’s game not on tv? What time is KO?
I see you got a mention in the Sun today along with 3/4 other CQN Posters including Bournesouprecipe…proof if ever it was needed that the rags are lazy journalism.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Mwd
What does über Tim or super Tim actually mean, and why am I one?
Re Bannerdate the damage is now done, no blog contributor can do any more damage than the headline below
Celtic’s reputation is in ruins Daily and Sunday Express 00:05 A headline justified by comments from club officials, we have no complaint
Well off out enjoy your weekend CQN
Dannygall:
Not on T.V. 15:00 K.O.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
My 9:24 post was for goldstar10…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

Über – The ultimate, above all, the best, top, something that nothing is better than.
Supertim – As in superman.
Seriously! This place is so full of Saints it’s a miracle.
MWD
Lennybhoy- Oh aye? BSR as well? Has the Gazebo been bugged?
SYDNEYTIM 0923
Is that a celebration breakfast following the huns gemme the previous night?
Best be careful none of us non-Aussies spoil it for you by telling you the score……
Mwd
And why am I one of these uber tims ? How could I possibly deserve such praise?
Is the game definitely not on TV tomorrow.
Must be punishment for being such bad Bhoys.
If only we were like Rangers fans eh!
Praised by the government and the police for creating such a wonderful atmosphere while this naughty Tims sing illicitly and make up dreadful banners.
Bad bad Bhoys.
MWD is soooooooo ashamed.
goldstar10:
My apologies it was the DR, you, BSR, Lennon n Mc…Mjallby and neveralone, Page 4
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Bobby hun game kicks off 06:45 on
The 29th :))). So if you do indeed know the score and it is not good , then yes indeed tell me
I could at least profit in the loss at the bookies :((
Blatent anti-Celtic campaign now in full swing .
Irvine doesnt have to work too hard to get the SMM to put the boot into us.
As has been predicted by many the worse things get for the huns the more they will attack us.
It’s going to get more extreme as this season progress’s and if we win this league it will be the sweetest ever.
The odds will be very much against us as every trick in the book will be employed to prevent the flag being unfurled over Paradise.

Hately is quoted in the Herald as saying that Rangers will not win the league if they sell Jelavic.
It doesn’t take him long to get round to listing Celtic players who may need to be sold in this “new reality” which must be faced by the “Old Firm”.
What a curious little country this is.
Oops no ,, between Bobby And Hun
Sorry no offense meant

You must be an Über Tim. Because you do obviously wouldn’t get involved in illicit chanting or making up banners. Or anything?
MWD thinks we should all sit on our hands and lardeeda nicely while at the footy. Half time smoked salmon anyone.
CQN is sooooo righteous this last 48 hours it makes me want to puke.
MWD:
Or perhaps, as I believe is that there is one rule for them and one for them…well at least where the media and strathclyde’s finest are concerned!
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
We have been sent to the back of the Class…any coincidence we are playing well and catching up with them….food for thought…
SYDNEYTIM
It’s obviously late over there,I should have put a smiley in.
Kinda reminds me of the punchline in “BILKO’S LUCKY DAY”,and since I got 171 episodes on DVD for a tenner on e-bay,I’m gonna look it out.Tomorrow…..
But I hope the breakfast and the result are a resounding success. I’m blinkin’ working while it’s on!

And others.

The full game is being shown on BBC Alba at 17.00.
Good morning friends from a cold, frost but bright East Kilbride.
Jobo
Kick-off at 15.00.
If we are looking for anyone who has fed the LL beast we need look no further than the banner boys themselves. Can someone tell me what good this has done Celtic? Did they think UEFA would look at the banner and say “They’re right enough. We shouldn’t have fined them.” I keep thinking of the Billy Connolly story about the Cardinal and the school boy who, when asked to say something to his eminence, comes up with “Eff off!” The cardinal’s response will pretty much sum up UEFA’s thoughts on this matter.
SYDNEYTIM
I skated over the typo,as I was sure that was what it was. But congratulations on being the first one to call me that!
On here,at least!
MWD:
Are you one of those loud mouthed, cowardly, trouser-wetting types who express dicey political views and make banners with naughty words on?
I think we should be told…
This place has a (up its own jacksey) reputation to keep after all.
