Helsinki to heaven

684

So how many of us checked the fixture schedule a month or so back and thought, “We can win the league on the St Patrick’s Day weekend”?  Then came Motherwell and Ross County, now we will do well to win the league on the same date as Gordon Strachan’s team did in 2006. This seems to exercise Neil Lennon more than me.  I’ll take the win anytime, although where it’s won is far more important.

Having said that, anything other than a victory tomorrow would be a sign of something gone wrong.  Aberdeen have been wretched in recent months and the Celtic players have benefited from a rare free midweek, allowing rest and preparation.  They will also have more than sufficient feedback on last week’s capitulation to ensure muscles are itching to go.

This month’s edition of CQN Magazine has just launched, some have said the best yet!  We take you from Helsinki to heave, these have been special times for Celtic and we know how to enjoy them……….

It’s written by the CQN community, for the CQN community, and is absolutely free to read online (special thanks to those who voluntarily subscribed, the lights have been kept shining as a result).

You can read the Magazine by clicking on the double headed arrow at the bottom right of the graphic below.

    McFadden could do a job at Celtic park. Would certainly bring some passion that has been missing to our forward line that for quite some time.

     

    PS Isn’t the guy married with kids ?

  2. McFadden and Griffiths, and their like are no way Celtic class. Yeah we sign some donkeys but it’s amazing how many failures fans on here still pine for.

    Celtic class ? Mibees aye, Mibees naw.

     

     

    For certain ( in my honest opinion anyway) none of the present forwards are.

  6. SOAL- :-)

     

     

    Miki67 – I read earlier that you were expecting your wee bruv for a visit. Hope he lifts your spirits and gives you the boost that you deserve.

     

     

    Luv, AoW!

  7. You try selling McFadden and Leigh and I’ll sell Hooper and Stokes, let’s see who get’s the most mula :O)

  8. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    the_huddle

     

     

    You are right on that (£) measure. Selling Celtic players is of no interest to me, at least the ones we need to keep.

     

     

    You watch the Celtic, yes ? Are you honestly impressed by Hooper or Tony Stokes ?

     

     

    In Gary’s case I’m hacked off at the lack of passion and desire.

  9. If McFadden is so good, how come it took him so long to find even Motherwell? Nah. Well past it imo. Why do some of us yearn to sign everybody who has a good game in the SPL?

  10. Strange the way we each one of us have such different sensitivities.

     

     

    I don’t care what any guy’s sexual orientation happens to be.

     

     

    Neither would I care about the race or colour of his chosen partner or partners.

     

     

    I kinda like tolerance….& consistency.

    Getting the bhoy’s gear looked out for the big game at 9.00 am over in Hamilton

     

     

    I thought you were on the Bike Ride?

     

     

    Take Care

  12. Point one, I assume the first post referring to James McFadden’s sexuality was an innuendo that he is homosexual. Not that it matters one bit if that was true, but the reality is he is a married man and is not a homosexual.

     

     

    Point two, In my native County of Cork one of our hurling legends came out a couple of years ago to announce he was Gay. Result he was held in even a higher regard for his courage.

    “Sir Paul frowns oan

     

     

    CHARACTER ASSASSINATION.”

     

     

     

    What? Like calling posters cowards and Kojo haters?

     

     

    Stereotyping Muslims as fundamentalists and our enemy?

     

     

    Referring to Bobo as a nignog?

     

     

    I’m guessing that you live in a greenhouse with all the windaes panned

    What to do… Missus now 7 days overdue, booked into RAH for Sunday. Should I say I’m just popping out for milk with mine and my bhoys tickets tucked in pocket for game… ;-)

  15. Imo some suporters are now lacking enthusiasm for

     

    our top players

     

    Lack of effort,lack of heart & lack of commitment

     

    are the cry.

     

    Same can be said for many of our supporters.

  16. Kojo

     

     

    Trying living life aff yer knees and playing the victim card anytime anyone pulls yer chain, ye’ve hid a huge gob oan here fur years but as soon as anyone points it out yer aff running like a wee clipe Paul disnae like it etc etc..

     

     

    Fur a so so shock jock ye huvnae goat much mallum..

     

     

    The Paul Caddis question was addressed to you personally a few days ago, nae answer, your exaggerated over the top criticism of individual players doesn’t fall into the category of character assassination yer greeting aboot I suppose..

     

     

     

    If ye canny take it don’t gie oot is whit ma maw used to say..

  17. Ha! We’re on a weekend break in a wee place called Barcaldine just outside Oban.

     

     

    It’s a 5 star B&B called Ardtorna and does deserve the 5 stars.

     

     

    Look after yourself.

    There is no doubt that Francis will be a very strong leader and he will put the Catholic Church in a dominant position once more.

     

     

    It is not for me though, Prophecy says that literal Bible Believing Christians will be killed for their Faith.

     

     

    It is far too deep a subject to talk about glibly on a football forum but I’m happy to talk offline if you want to discuss it further. Paul67 will give you access to my email.

    Yip, no doubt we’ll struggle to have 35,000 tomorrow. Lack of passion both on and off the park.

  20. CORKCELT – was it Gay Byrne? O.J. :-)

     

     

    Intolerance is usually the preserve of the Dark Side.

     

     

    Therefore, Keep It Lit!

     

     

    ps. McFadden, nah not for me!

  21. They Say “Horses fur Courses”

     

     

    And that is a Truism..

     

     

     

    IF YE UR ONLY TALKING ABOOT.. HORSES!

     

     

    When Ye ur Talking aboot a Fitbah Team. which is

     

    Composed of Human Beans… it jist disnae Hack it!

     

     

    Whit, Celtic Need.. Is a Fixed.. Steady.. Settled..

     

     

    First Eleven.

     

     

    This is whit is Wrang wi’ Neil’s Thinking..

     

     

    IN MA OPINION, OF COURSE.

     

     

     

    An hiv the feeling… and Ah may be wrang.. but…

     

     

    Ah Think Neil..is .. Stuck oan that old.. Saying..

    Neil, baby.. that saying Diz not Haud any water ,when it is Applied tae

     

     

    FITBA’ TEAMS.

     

     

    It Leaks.. .awe ower the place~

     

     

    Fitba Players must get the opportunity tae Meld in a Team..

     

    And

     

     

    Thur is only wan way tae dae That..

     

     

    They Must Play together as Much as they Kin,using the same

     

    Complement of Players.

     

    that is the only way tae Build a Team.

     

     

    That is Not always Possible.. owing tae Injuries.. etc..

     

     

    Howevahhhh..

     

     

    Changes in the Selection of the First Eleven should be held to the Minimum.

     

     

    There should be no Changes just for the Sake of Making A Change..

     

     

    As.. Neil..is Wont tae dae, In Ma Opinion.

  25. I realise if you chop & change a team you are more likely to drop points. However you do need to give lads a chance and surely this is the season to do just that. The other factor is its been a hectic season and guys need a rest. I’m as disappointed as anyone when the Bhoys slip up but if we unearth a few gems by experimenting it is worth it.
