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.”

    Great result for a gallus Glasgow intelligent Tim. Delighted for the Moyes family, who have been suffering for Davie’s msm scum coverage recently.

    Davie Moyes will do just fine, the Press are probably getting their attacks in because they were controlled by Swalex, manipulated even, I wonder where he learned that from?

     

     

    Davie seemed the most confident ever prior to this game, good on him.

    Like everyone else I’ve thousands of Celtic memories but that night in Dundee is up with the best of them.

     

     

    Abiding memory travelling back from the game was us all drinking Champagne and smoking cigars as the Huns past us on their way back from defeat at Pittodrie!!

     

     

    Brilliant!!!

    Kik – took a couple of days recovery. We had a great night thanks, your old mucker was a star….as usual. Still denying he posts on here! The bhoys at his table had some good craic with him.

     

     

    By now, you should be fit for the next CQN gathering(s). Bobby’s next Hootenany is planned for May 10th, so make sure you’re free for that big yin. Looking forward to having a beer with you.

    From a cracking CQNer lurker and a very good friend of many years…..

     

     

    “As the Turkey Bros big gig on the 27th fast approaches i just thought I’d do a brief update on the punishing rehearsal schedule we are enduring for everyone to be suitably impressed by. So, the first practice was cancelled due to the Albion Rovers result; the 2nd one did actually happen, for about an hour, and the 3rd one is currently under some positive discussions and might just happen sometime soon…maybe even before we get on stage. We are `reverse headliners` so will be on pretty early, I’m guessing around 8, so get there late in order to avoid abject disappointment. It`s 8 quid a ticket which is all for Airdrie hospice. Come on, it’ll be a pish laugh…you can hear Bad Day at Coatbridge Baths, Full Board at the Betty Ford, Tumble Dryer Baby, My donner summer and I’m a Big Fan`ay Shereen Nanjiani. Our next gig will probably be some time in 2015, so you might as well get along to Stereo in Renfield Lane whilst you`ve still got the use of your legs. Right, that’s me off now to learn the mythical 4th chord. See you on the 27th! Bx”

     

     

     

    If you want to come along( £8 per ticket all for charity), drop me an email at celticrollercoaster@yahoo.co.uk

    Kik – was meant to be going to TKF dinner, but some family stuff came up. Was busy apologising to Sanna on Friday night and then he let on that it’s just about sold out, so it should be a good one.

     

     

    Will try and sort out some beers soon, but got a few things on through to early April.

     

    I would say go easy, but that would be taking irony to a whole new level…! :-)
