I see a bit of chat on Liel Abada in the Latest News section of CQN this morning. I have been impressed with the player from his early outings last year. Although a winger with a prodigious assists record, it is his ability inside the box that impresses most.
He understands when to arrive in the danger area and has the speed and touch to be effective once there. With the right tutelage, I think he may end up as a striker – you will recall, the Great Swede played on the wing until arriving in Glasgow as a 26-year-old, when an opportunity opened to play through the middle.
I sense little resistance to the potential sale of Josip Juranovic. He had a stellar World Cup, at 27 he is in his prime and we have already recruited a replacement. There is less unanimity when it comes to Giorgos Giakoumakis. Gio is enormously popular and brings a different threat to any other striker at the club. However, at 28, we know the script. His age profile and backup status mean that he is available for the right price.
Liel does not always make the starting 11 but he would if I was picking the team. His age and contract profile are such that we are under no pressure to sell. But I need to ask myself what I really want from Celtic and how to get there.
I want us to be a competitive Champions League team, not the cannon fodder we were this season. To get there, we need an excellent recruitment regime and an aggressive trading policy. I’ll back any plan that aims for this target, anything else is conservative and unambitious – I don’t know about you, but I’m neither.

Eddie Fisher hit…..
test
My own opinion on VAR re goals we score,i think it takes at least twice the time for a decision is,they dont just look at the couple of passes before the goal,they (VAR) rewind the play back to 30-45 seconds before ,to see if there’s absolutely anything they can do to disallow it.
May I wish all at CQN and all CQNers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We got chatting as the ridiculous stuff was happening. These bampots want us to stop going to see Celtic.
I hope Tontine Tim is right but, Ivan who sits to ma left, said something I agree with, I’d stop coming to watch fitba if its like this. SFA/Masonic/VAR. Let’s get this straight VAR is not the problemo. The 1690 mob have a stranglehold in their Masonic heartland. I will keep going because I get to Witness Celtic and more importantly get time with the wee man.
Disgraceful by the Bent officials.
Merry Christmas one and all from a beautiful sunny Melbourne.

It was positively balmy @ Celtic Park Today. Clocked the temps @ 7C and many of the Green Brigade had Adonis like bodies on show. For a wee while. :))
NJOI being 10 points clear of the Newco, Mick :D
A Lady who I hadn’t seen @ Celtic Park before was there with a dude Robert who is rarely there any mair just in front of me.
She was quiet all game but when the Merry Christmas chant went up near the end, she let it all out.
Merry Christmas – F*ck the Huns.
I was actually like WOW.
The Truth is the Truth.
Love & Understanding disnae come into the Newco Vocabulary, never mind the old.
Haters are gonnae Hate.
Awesome performance by Every Celt.
Evening all
Wishing everyone a happy and holy Christmas.

Sat and watched the game with the roof fan going like the
clappers last night lol.
Beach tomorrow, my Adonis like figure will be on display there.
Just hope my beer belly stuffed with turkey and tatties doesn’t
wobble about too much. 🤪

It’s good that the Hibees will have their tails up for Wednesday.
I just missed out on my over 3.5 Celtic first half goals, I’m likely to give it another go on Wednesday.
I’m pretty sure no matter who the MIB is, priority will be red carding a Crucial Celt, when Callum was missing we done ok.
It’s obvious if CCV isnae there, Celtic are a bit weaker.
10 ahead.
As JC said
“Do your worst”
A very happy Christmas to each and every CQNer and all who lurk on here.
Haven’t got goal line technology and yet we’ve got VAR
Which we’re paying for!

NJOI Mick,
I asked Aidan what his Favourite non Celtic Scottish Cup Final wiz……. mainly because they had 4 horses instead of 2 as we went to our seats frae the East side, knowing his answer.
Go home you huns.

Get it right roon ye Huns.

Celts to the fore that day too.
It will be a tough game @ Easter Road on Wednesday all VAR considered. Celtic Today sent out a Message.
I should (w)t(o)o(l)n(f)e down the amount of goals expected in such a short space of time. Over 2.5 Celtic First Half goals? Nah 3.5 it is.

Merry Christmas you cads and bounders. As Dave Allen would say “May your God go with you “.

Enjoyed today’s match and cannot find a reason to be annoyed with Celtic today.
I will update Superbru soon
That Celtic performance was awesome.
I noticed the Referee getting in the way of a quick roll out to, Callum I think, he couldnae as the schooled Referee made sure it couldnae happen…. If he would dummy the ba’ fair do’s.
The Celtic Dressing Room is full of Cheated Warriors.
Jamesie had a Great Game today.

Merry Xmas all x
Merry Christmas all fellow Celtic supporters , the posters, the lurkers , the doom and gloom merchants and the happy clappers and especially Paul 67 for the wonderful site that is CQN
Have a Wonderful Christmas everyone on CQN and a Magical New Year.
Ange was halfway to joining the Green Brigade getting his top, not tops off.
I sincerely hope Tontine Tim is right.
I witnessed a Gal, as I went up a ski lift, the Gal was closely followed by an expert Cameraman. The Gal was skiing in a Bikini. twas awesome getting sunburn like that in March with awesome snow.
Grande Biers @ the top of the mountain. Magical.
It’s over now.
I’m not going to get vaccinated unless forced.
I didnae go abroad much anyways.

Reo he’s alright.

Superbru update
Round 18 has provided a top 3 of
celtic mac- 9.5 pts
Aipple- 9 pts
fess 19- 8 pts
At the bottom with 1 point were the trio of Craig76, Auldheid and Raplochbhus but the computer has awarded Raploch this week’s wooden spoon.
So, we head into our final week before the first set of Top 3 prizes are awarded and we have a top 5 of:-
A thing of beauty- 110
Leggy- 107.5
Ayrshiretim- 99
Tirconnell- 98
celticrollercoaster- 97
We have contenders still in places 5-10 too. The First Round leader will win £75, 2nd place will get £45 but the race for the 3rd prize of £30 should be exciting.
Prizes will be awarded after the 6 SPFL fixtures on Wed. 28th, starting at 7.45 pm with the Celtic game being the last at 8pm.
The 2nd half of our season begins on Jan 2nd with a 12.30 deadline for our game with the Ibrox lot.
Thanks for your support and have a great Christmas
Just back from a packed-to-the-rafters St Finbars.
Ms Quad is now busy cooking Bo Kho for our Xmas lunch ; no turkey was harmed in this production ;)
Joy and peace to all my digital family, friends and foes on here. And, as someone said, to Paul for this forum.
And well done the great Glasgow Celtic! HH
Going to Ibrox 9 points clear will do.
Leaving Ibrox 9 points clear will also do.
merry christmas gach daoine
A VERY Merry Christmas to ALL the GOOD Guys on here.
As i live on my own and I dont have a Wife or a Burd at the moment, and no family left to speak of, Christmas time can be rather quiet for me….and I never drink in the hoose.
I think I will wait until after the Horse Racing is finished on Boxing Day, and then MAYBE go to my Local Pub….IF its open on Boxing Day ?
I was in my local Pub at 11am yesterday for Three quick Pints before the Celtic game was due to kick aff at 12.30pm. I was soon home as I had booked CELTIC TV on PPV earlier in the week.
The ” STREAM” on PPV went aff THREE Times, and I was forced to switch aff my computer and then quickly re start it.
The first ” break down” was seconds AFTER Kyogo thought he had ” Scored” with his header, and then i had to switch aff, and restart…..all the while wondering IF Kyogo had scored or not ?
I am still confused as to ” WHY” we have NO Goal Line Technology when we have VAR ?
HH Bhoys and Ghirls.
Good morning all from Govanhill.

Merry Christmas mate. Bookies shut, no racing for 3 days, help ma boab! 🤣
