Getting ready for our summer panic

615

We have a curious end of season coming up.  Out of the Scottish Cup and a matter of weeks away from securing the league, the last six weeks of the season will hold no competitive challenge for Celtic.  Neil Lennon has suggested he will, as last season, rest players with next season’s Champions League qualifiers in mind.

The end of last season, however, was complicated by the Scottish Cup Final, so players were spared in small numbers, for short periods.  There is no reason why we cannot give players the equivalent of their summer break the day after the title is secured, on the basis that they return earlier than normal, to build competitiveness before we experience our annual fright against a team we need to look up in order to spell.

Send them away as soon as possible, do a Kenny and play the promising youth players, and get the first team back very early.

Congratulations to Patrick Kerr, who was at table 16 at CQteN, and who has won a Champagne lunch for two at The Honours restaurant, Edinburgh.  The Honours is owned by Michelin Star chef, Martin Wishart.  It will be a great experience, Patrick.  We’ll be in touch by email.

Seville – The Celtic Movement, is moving…

““Look at that old bloke there in the full kit. He looks like a Subutteo man”. Turned out it was my dad and we hugged and shed a tear. We were altogether as most of the guys from our CSC had met him and heading to a European final. Our CSC was 5 years old. We had our flag and we were ready to watch our team lift the cup.”

    WC – when my dad passed away three years ago, I couldn’t believe all the messages of support and sympathy I got from the CQN community. It was heart-warming and brought me a lot of comfort.

     

    My wife copied all the posts into a file, which I’ve still got. Maybe you or one of Jim’s family could do the same for him and he could then read them in his own time.

    Bada,

     

     

    Did you not see the figures posted on here a few pages back?

     

     

    Average of about 19 is thousand on average for their 4 home cup games this season.

    BT – good man! He would fully approve as he loved his wee goldies. I’ll be doing the same over the weekend.

  13. BRTH – just logged in.

     

     

    Very sorry Jim to read about the sad loss of your Dad – a good man that many Celtic Supporters will fondly remember.

     

     

    I hope You and your Family draw some comfort from the many posts on CQN.

     

     

    God Bless!

    Cheers BT,

     

     

    I don’t know father or son but son comes across as a gem and it’s becoming more obvious how he become so amiable.

  15. Condolences on your sad loss BRTH RIP to your da, I went to school with a Bankie McGinley, I believe he came fae Dalmuir.

     

     

    On another note I have for a long time had a suspicion on who Kojo is, I believe that he’s a priest who used to be based in LA and his mother’s family widnae look out of place in “Comfort and Joy”.

    Bada,

     

     

    What grinds my gears about his comment is why bother?!?

     

     

    Why make barbed wee sleekit lies??

     

     

    It’s out his hands so why get involved?

     

     

    Playing yet again to the fans who are keeping his sorry ass I’m a job. Dignity indeed.

  18. Just logged on to read the sad news and so moved by the compassion, the support and humanity shown by so many posters to BRTH

     

     

    Jim, may your dad rest in peace.

     

     

    My thoughts and prayers like so many will be for you and your family
