Hapoel Beer-Shiva delivered Olympiakos first defeat in a Champions League qualifying match in six years. The Greeks have competed in the group stage every season since, holding their own throughout the period, so getting knocked out by Hapoel was the equivalent of losing a Scottish Cup semi-final to a lower-league club.
Hapoel are not better than Olympiakos, not nearly so, but they were good enough to progress when they got the breaks. Anyone who thinks we’ll easy past them into the group stage is being ridiculously complacent.
I’m trying to avoid the nonsense coming out of Ibrox while we have more important things going on, but good grief! Please, please, have them follow through on the nonsense of ditching their legally contracted Puma strips to wear something else.
That stadium seems to be a beacon attracting stupid people doing stupid things.
You’ll note the INDEPENDENT SFA report on crowd at the Scottish Cup final recorded no assaults whatsoever on Newco players. This clearly caused some dissonance at the media organisations who reported utter fabrications after the game.
Never mind, Newco is in the same good hands which were on the tiller when their disastrous EBT plan was enacted, and the players who benefited from EBTs are front and central of Newco media coverage.
If you can’t see how this story ends, you’re not looking.

I have virgin and the hub is upstairs
It’s maybe the add on he uses, Phoenix is good as is njm
You get help on FB or by asking via Google
It’s a £30 stake so it works out great value
FInally scrolled back (half way down page 10) and found THAT post from Roy Croppie. One of the best in CQN’s distinguished history. If only all of my morning scroll backs were like that ;-)
KevJ – good to see you back on.
Morning Celts
I wouldnt mind seeing Scott Sinclair play today.
He will find it easier up here.
You dont play at the level he has, if you arent a very good player.
Come on Scott….rip them a new one.
Kevj….Rebel flag flying high.

BT / JMCCORMICK –
I also have a Droidbox but it is a bit hit and miss. More often than not I find a decent dtream for whatever game I’m trying to catch but with a feww irritating bufferings every 10 minutes or so. Now and again I can’t get any watchable stream. So for Celtic games on TV I don’t take the chance and go over to my Bhoy’s flat for Sky. Overall, still good value for what you pay for it.
When I have the house to myself I get out my big long ethernet cable (ooo-er) and that usually improves the buffering compared to using wi-fi. The cable’s just long enough to stretch from the upstairs router to downstairs TV but at neck height, risking decapitation if I jump up for a goal.
Goooooood Morning CQN :-)
Jobo – surely Paul McStay must be in your top 3 ?
KevJ – you have rediscovered your Faith, which is brilliant Fhella, time to get back into Celtic Park as well, ya old rebel, BT summed up, we are all one big Family on here
Right , Mass then awaiting Celtic time under Brendan
Hail Hail

You could try some homeplugs, they are better than WiFi

Have seen several references to Lee Wallace is a grass.
What’s the background?
Cracking Morning in ML6. Morning Bhoys.
Nice story Roy and great Pictures and memories.
Really enjoy this site at times, Also the added articles and stuff from James Forrest make being a Tim Awesome.
Roll on Tyncastle. Brendan’s brawlers to small em. Hopefully we see Sinclair and Moussa gets on the goal trail.
Keyword is patience,
We have nothing to fear from der hun unless they spend 100m and rebuild the team. They will turn on their own this year.

The Huddle –
So just so I’ve understood this correctly. Plug 1 in upstairs near the router and connect the router to the plug with an ethernet cable. Plug the other one downstairs near my TV and plug an ethernet cable from it to the Droidbox? As simple as that?

Go up to RS Components in Towhead and get them to make you a cable long enough to watch it safely. As long as it’s less than 90M (about 100 feet in old money) you’re sorted! Means you can use it when others are in the house.
Cowiebhoy – The Maestro is up there. But my own fondest memories are of watching Lennox, McGrain and Larsson.
Craig Gordon has always had flaws to his game. But He has suffered from the same loss of confidence and malaise as the rest of the squad under our Ronnie, He will get back to it and sharper IF he still has the hunger and ability. He is slightly different from the out field players as he won’t work with Brendan as much as the others. Signing another will do no harm, Keep him on his toes or replace him, Up to him.

Yep as simple as that.
Totally support Craig Gordon (mag article). Astana goal never his fault. Really unlucky it landed straight at their guy’s feet and then sat up perfectly for him, followed by a great finish. Sometimes your luck’s just out. Very good shot stopper and goalkeeper full stop. Needs to work on his judgement on crosses though (speaking as an ex-junior goalkeeper…). We’re lucky to have him.

The nitty gritty.
Glasgow hotel help
Devoncove hotel
CitizenM hotel
Travel lodge queen street (cheapest)
Any of these I should rule out or all pretty good ? I stayed in devoncove hotel few years back and was decent.
Just for me and mate to lay out drunken heads for couple nights

The turn around in most others since Brendan has arrived has been amazing, Ciftci and Forrest to name but two who look brave and confident again.

The Huddle – only question now is which ones to get. Rather than Amazon I thought I might nick round to Currys but on their website the prices range from £24.99 to £114.99. WHat’s the main feture to consider in terms of hopefully getting the best performance – is it the Mbps (whatever that is)?
Proudbhoy
Id go for CitizenM…..reasonable price, bang in centre of town, cant go wrong really.

Try Argos as well….they will deliver for a few quid.

Yes, Mbps is what you look for and they don’t need to be expensive

Travel lodge in queen street by far cheapest
Whilst I see there is a telecoms discussion (love a discussion on CQN) perhaps someone better qualified than I can answer this one for me.
I have Sky at home but only because the area I live in has limited or zero freeview signal and there is no outside aerial.
My intention is to downgrade my Sky to Freesat, purchase BTTV and thus watch my sport and the “compulsory” kids channels I need for the brood…
I would then watch all the terrestrial channels through my Sky and connect to the BT channels via HDMI channel using the Infinity hub.
Does this sound plausible?
TIA and HH
Fantastic story from Roy Croppie. Great for the spirit.
C’mon Brendan’s boys. Get intae them today.
HDMI “cable”

Have you ever tried the openbox v8s £37 (1 off payment)or so on ebay or Amazon 2 ethernet plugs from Argos £20 (1 off payment) or so and a Gift card from ebay or Amazon again about £13 for a year every year.
Initial set up a bit expensive but then it’s only £13 a year from there on.
This gives you all Sky sports all BT sports all Sky movies in fact everything on Sky plus Setanta, Premier sports etc. With no buffering whatsoever and no cables running through the house, the only cable you need is 1 Sky cable coming from a Sky dish.

Looks good option

Hopefully , others will find the form they appear to have lost.
Jo Hansen. Bitton.
Remains to be seen of course , but the Brendan factor ,to my mind , has already created a seachange in our players form.
Now , his gentle remonstration to our supporters was highly significant .We also need to regain our confidence in our team .
I can`t begin to tell you how relieved I was at the final whistle on Wednesday.
twist and turns from earlier
my mates, girlfreind’s son – plays for the new team’s development squad. he was telling me, in the kerrydale on wed, that the wee zombies turned the full grown zombies over 1-0 recently!!
don’t know if that was well known but it gave me a laugh in light of the coverage, and the offence taken, at broonie’s comments.
On the topic of coverage, ITV news coverage of their twist and turns from earlier

“return after being banished” was disgraceful. At least BBC used the L word in their “return after liquidation”. however not a sign of “first top flight game for the Phoenix club which took Rangers place”.
Kev j tqke it easy,:-)
Good to see yi on,
Til next time.:-)

I don’t have Sky or BT (mines all via Virgin) but I think you get a BT box/player with your package and that plugs into your TV via HDMI so should be good to go.
Morning all. Been having trouble getting the last few Celtic games on the kodi, so might take the safe option and call round to my dear old mother’s house and keep her company while she shouts at the telly. She loves the Celtic games. Listening to the SMSM, I think we really need a win today, Dodgy Dave is about to splash the cash to help them not just win the league but compete in Europe. Be afraid all, they’re coming!!!
MACJAY1 FOR NEIL LENNON
I know when we were talking about Joe allan during the euros i thought he was a poor mans Johansen from two years ago, He was awesome then. If Brendan could work his magic on him, Yeah that would be ace.
Great player who just seems lost just now. Brown looked immense on Wed night so hopefully it continues and rubs off on Jo. Bitton I am not a fan Mac, I think he doesn’t really care and I was surprised when i read his comments saying he wanted to stay, His body language and facial expression doesn’t look like a man who is happy. We will see. I hope Christie gets some game time and Armstrong and McGregor both look short on confidence as well. Armstrong on the left doesn’t do him or the team any good. McGregor looks good at times and others he looks over awed. Young man so we will see.

Your suggestion was getting me hooked until I got to your last line. I don’t have a Sky dish ;-). Virgin Medie.
Off to Currys for the adaptors linked in The Huddle’s post at 10.01……….
