Really pleased Leigh Griffiths is back in the Scotland squad, it’s just reward for his work this season, although the prospect of having so many Celtic players on international duty in June is an unwelcome one, considering we’ve Champions League qualifiers to prepare for in July. Preseason is already looking fraught.
I’d convinced myself I wasn’t too bother if newco are promoted this season or not, all the big battles have been won and lost. I realised differently when I received a text yesterday saying Queens were a goal up. Your instinct can tell you things your head can’t.
Another season of lower league football will drain them of an additional £10m, which I don’t think they have, but I don’t think they have enough money to complete a season in the top flight either. It doesn’t matter if the boat sinks in 50m of water or 50km, there would be a deficit in either league. Viability remains the subject of undocumented fantasy, cannon fodder-dom awaits in the top flight, ignominious avoidance in the lower leagues.
If Mike Ashley cuts them some slack, they will eventually be a top 12 club. When they are, Celtic will earn an extra £4m from ticket sales and indirect incremental income, enough to make a difference on the field. Similar income will go to Ibrox, but this isn’t enough to fund a turnaround. My preference would be to have both Hibs and Hearts back next season but I’m chilled either way.
Very last call for the Ben Nevis Huddle, which takes place on Saturday 13 June in aid of the Celtic Foundation. If you’re up for it, sign up here…..

Dick Advocaat is the man who really started Rangers on the road to destruction.
Murray was infatuated with him. Martin Bain tells some great stories of the lengths he had to to go to in order to satisfy wee Dick’s ego and needs.
The New Saints(Wales)
HB Torshavn(Faroes)
Fc Santa Coloma(Andorra) have to play a 1st round qualifier before we could meet them.
A trip to Andorra would be better than a trip to the Faroes.HH
Exactly what lengths did Martin go to satisfy Dick……..?

Wee Dick spent (wasted) £96million at ragers…..now topped up by an extra £6.5 Million
on Arveladze.
Whit a guy!
Ah, well, said he, it’s in your breed, like that auld Fenian Gun
A few of us on here last week talking about David Threlfal, he is brilliant in the Tommy Cooper biopic, on ITV 1 @ 11.05
Glad that Wee Dick got no where near the Celtic job.
He helped the huns into liquidation with his spending of OPM.
Nursery time at ipox:
Twinkle, twinkle little rectum…….
big Dick comes when you least expect him!
Heh! Heh!
Devils Advocaat on his way back??

MrZ
I will always challenge your fascist crap, want a war ?
Canamalar
You again make youself a keyboard hero who brings truth to the stupid people chellenging the fascist.
I posted few quotations from you. Don’t know how many more your insults I could find if I dig deeper.
After your attack on me on 16 May, I told you : the best thing for both of us is scroll past each other posts.
Then you continued unprovoked attack on 18 May.
So, according to you, I’m “a mixture of religious fanaticism and patriotism” , fascist, who posts lies and propaganda.
For the attention of the posters and yours, Canamalar, I dare to make a reminder that one or two years back
you attacked me in similar way without any reason, without exchanging posts or views. Your final words in your post
about me were that I’m arrogant dick.
For that post, for your attack on me and language vialoation, Paul67 suspended (cancelled) your account.
What is the differnce between me and you?
Paul67, the host of this website sent me an email with an apolology and informed that after few alerts from the posters,
he had to take action.
My reaction on his action against you was my email (one, maybe two or three emails) to Paul67 where I asked him
to take action back and let you be back on the website. I said to Pul67 , it was nothing seious and for the best
interest of CQN you should be alloweled to post.
I would not tell this if not your another, similar attack on me
these days.
Am I a fascist with fascist views?
My family roots are near Berlin. In 1840 my family moved in 1840 to the place where I was born.
In 1939 my two oldest uncles were Polish Army soldiers and faught against German Nazis.
One of them was captured in October 1939 and spent the rest of the war in a German camp.
When the Germans came into my town, they asked my grandfather
to change nationality to German (they find the papers in the municiply) and promised to give my uncle freedom.
My grandfather answer was: NO.
How dare you call me a fascist?
When the Communists came, they stolen 15 horses from my grandfather farm. Few months after they arrested
two uncles who fought against German Nazis. Both of them spent about 3 years in jails, often tortured.
My Mother’s older brother was shot in the belly during the interrogation after war in 1946 by one of two drunk
red militiants. Henrik died few ours after.
Am I blinded with hatred for anything Russian?
Worked with Russians for more than 20 years. Spent some time in Moscow, used to travel there for bussiness reasons.
When studied philosophy I chose to write final work about Russian philosopy in ninetinth and twentieth century.
I do speak Russian (better than English), I know their history.
How dare you say I hate anything Russian.
One last thing, Canamalar.
When UEFA found Legia mistake, you posted many links to the articles from the Scottish press.
Since when the Scottish press is your mantra?
You said about Legia: kick them out of Europe forever, liquidate them etc. No mercy.
When Paul67 took his action after your first attack on me, were you asking him for
forgivenes and for letting you to be back on CQN?
How many emails did you send to him at that time?
I remember Paul67 took whole blame on him. With your little help, the folk tale was that Peter Lawwell
asked Paul67 to block you becouse you run with so called Resolution. Yeah, true hero and the martyr for the truth.
Say what you want now, Canamalar. I promise not to exchange any posts with you.All what I wanted to tell is above.
My anger caused by your post was very short. My pride becouse of my roots, my heritage, including Legia will last forever.

Barcabhoy posted the attendences for away games and Hearts took bigger away supports Than Sevco, therefore generating more money to the other clubs than Sevco
*didn’t bader suggest that they play away games at home on a Saturday and the support go there, thereby depriving the other clubs of revenue.

Don’t get the wireless from Scotland here…but..
Surely they were on about the Living Wage and not the minimum wage?
The Living Wage has been politicized (wrongly) and that is another issue, but Celtic are paying the minimum wage. I know, I know… many expect us to do better than that but…
Either way, of all the clumpanies, in all the toons, in all the land…it is that bad, bad Celtic Club who get the namecheck for a negative story.
The OBaF act mentality is still alive and well in the SMSM.
So they got the facts wrong, and loaded it with biased inferences….
Can we just stop beating ourselves up for imagined slights and concentrate on those who really want to do us down…

Aye, Alan Shearer could turn up at your front door with 2 tickets to see Newcastle United…….;)
Paul67..
Not too sure how many season ticket holders at Paradise agree with.. ” My preference would be to have both Hibs and Hearts back next season but I’m chilled either way.” Suggesting you wouldn’t be too bothered if sevco make it into the top division.
I believe the vast majority would be happy to have Hibs and Hearts back, but be disgusted if the cheats and tax dodgers are allowed up in another guise.
We should not be afraid to say this, we should not need to be silent when speaking the truth, and we should never let others forget the facts.
Don’t be afraid to speak out. God bless all Celtic Supporters. Hail Hail.

Well said sir
Zbyszek,
Good to hear you speak the truth of the situation.
