Jullien, Forrest and recuperation periods

563

We are already at the stage of the season when a return of Christopher Jullien or James Forrest would have little impact on the outcome.  It will take a scheduling miracle for the Scottish Cup to reach its latter stages before club football ends to allow players to join international squads ahead of the Euros, so the news that Chris is likely to be in recuperation until the start of next season is no real hardship.

The return of James will be a welcome sight but it is hard to see any big picture relevance, no matter how brilliant he plays.  Celtic players get little time to allow limbs to rest and recuperate, this is one such period.

Sunday night in Dingwall is the very last place in Scotland’s tourist trail, apart from the Celtic squad, who will arrive looking for their sixth successive win this month.

Ross County have not played in two weeks since defeat to Dundee United, a period that has seen Hamilton collect 5 points to put the Highlanders bottom of the table.  History records that they were the team who stopped Celtic’s run of 12 consecutive domestic trophies, when they eliminated us from the League Cup during the disastrous month of November.  We owe them one.

  1. lets all do the huddle on

    A PENQUIN walks into a bar.

     

     

    Barman asks…” Can I help you Sir” ?

     

     

    Penquin.. ” I do hope so mate, has my Brother been in” ?

     

    Barman..” i dunno mate….Whit does he look like” ?

     

     

     

    more racism on CQN

     

     

    yesterday it was the Martians getting it

     

     

    today its the penguins

     

     

    implying all penguins look the same

     

     

    i stand with my penguin brothers

     

     

    🙋🏻‍♂️🐧🐧🐧

     

     

    😁

  2. Where is the ban from the SFA for the sevco 5 who broke lockdown restrictions, this is blatant cheating, blatant , if they can get away with this it just shows you what they get away with on things we don’t yet know about, and why the silence from all other clubs?

     

    If its the change in compliance officer then that is frankly garbage, they banned Celtic Aberdeen and sevco players previously so there is previous cases to base this on.

  3. This will probably get me into trouble – 🟨

     

     

    A vacationing penguin is driving his car through Arizona when he notices that the oil pressure light is on. He gets out to look and sees oil dripping out of the motor. He drives to the nearest town and stops at the first gas station.

     

    After dropping the car off, the penguin goes for a walk around town. He sees an ice-cream shop and, being a penguin in Arizona, decides that something cold would really hit the spot. He gets a big dish of ice cream and sits down to eat. Having no hands he makes a real mess trying to eat with his flippers. After finishing his ice cream, he goes back to the gas station and asks the mechanic if he’s found the problem. The mechanic looks up and says “It looks like you blew a seal.”

     

    “No no,” the penguin replies, “it’s just ice cream.”

     

     

    🐧🍨🐧🍨🐧🍨😉

  4. Good morning cqn from dry Garngad

     

     

    A great read back and very amusing well done to all the contributors.

     

     

    Bankiebhoy1 and TontineTim – Been in all of those pubs in Republican Duntocher and brought back great memories of past friends, football teams oh and drink.😂

     

     

    Superb bhoys

     

     

    D :)

  5. I see that Neil is calling out the Scottish Government over their clear biased against Celtic as to other teams regarding covid breaches.

     

     

    Now Neil that is something I will totally back you on.

     

     

    As was the treatment of the Government over our Dubai trip. However we should not even have went but that’s another story.

     

     

    Get stuck in Neil.

     

     

    D :)

  6. D66- NL should have said that he would be interested to see punishment for any other transgressions re Covid rules, don’t need to mention any klubs by name.

  7. While I agree with Neil Lennon about Nicola Sturgeon’s obvious bias against us, I don’t think he should be the one at Celtic speaking out. If ever Peter Lawwell were to earn his corn, this is it.

  8. David 66,

     

     

    NFL was totally calculated in what he said re the Scottish government. This has obviously been discussed at a higher level at Parkhead.

     

     

    Why is it Neil stating this train of thought.?

     

    This should be coming from PL or above with council from our legal team.

     

     

    He should not have been left once more to discuss this blatant case of double standards.

     

     

    HH.

  9. Greenpinata – Agreed, I am only showing my support as I am 1 who is quick enough to criticise him.

     

     

    D :)

  10. As much as I agree with what Neil said re, Sturgeon.

     

    It should have been the coward who said it’not NL.

  11. Hey Philboy.

     

    Thanks and no worries.

     

     

    Blog has had more of a civil tone these past few hours.

     

     

    Unless you’re a penguin, of course.

  12. Big Jimmy, the stripper from Arbroath you mentioned….Wiz her name Frenchy? There used to be a big redhead who wore fishnets, short skirt, black and white hooped top and a beret down Byres Road way in late 80’s, early 90’s. Because of her ‘outfit’ we always called her Frenchy. 😁

     

     

    Can’t remember the name of the bar. It was the last one on the right before you got to Dumbarton Road, but she was there every weekend with the same outfit on.

  13. David66, naw mate that was at the dog leg side of Byres Road that ran beside the hospital. Other side mate. However, I’m sure she went to the Chancellor also.

     

     

    The Chancellor was across the road from the Exchequer which was the pub I got attacked in one Christmas by two midgets from the circus at Kelvin Hall. 😂 But that’s another story.

  14. Greenpinata….bingo The Parallel Bar, thanks. It was doing my head in. Actually embarrassing as that is where I took my Mrs for our first date. Glad she doesn’t read CQN!!!

  15. Bhoys, I should have said in my post,it’s Lawwell’s department, as I posted similar a few months ago, but he’s hiding under his desk again.
