Shakhter seem convinced they will eliminate Celtic tomorrow. Their friendly journalist explained why to Kazak readers today:
“Despite winning comfortably enough in the capital last Tuesday, Celtic remain confident of overturning the deficit in Albion (sic). Getting to the group stage is not a forbidden dream for Shakhter, it is their right as a result of recent domestic success.
“Shakhter have the mining spirit of resilience, respect and strict discipline. Glasgow also has a long mining tradition but Margaret Thatcher closed the mines in the 1980s (!). Since then, Glasgow people lost their previous spirit once and for all.
“Neil Lennon was unprepared and the Celtic defenders unable to do the job in Astana. Just like BATE Borisov, they think they will overcome the result in the second leg. Just like BATE they are still unprepared for Shakhter.
“Albion’s (sic) best managers are from Glasgow, Busby, Ferguson, Stein, Shankley, Dalglish, Moyes, but the current Celtic leadership chose a man from Ireland, Neil Lennon, who is permanently under fire from fans of the “Celts”.
“Celtic have an epidemic of injuries. Stokes, Commons, Forrest, Boerrigter, Kayal and Samaras.
“The referee is from Norway. Scandinavians appreciate a tough fight. The game is a very sensitive, contact, martial arts sport. Svein Moen will understand.
“Before the game in Astana Neil Lennon said Shakhter play a very British style. Why wasn’t he able to find an antidote to this? Maybe he got Shakhter completely wrong.
“Karagandy’s three central defenders are impenetrable. They close down space and do not interfere with each other.
“The “Catholics” refuse to acknowledge that Shakhter did not miss a ball against them in the first leg. They think that because they can from 0-2 down against Inverness they can do the same against Shakhter. This is unacceptable. It will seem more absurd if the Miners open their account in Glasgow.
“In defeating BATE, Shakhter have already eliminated a higher seed than Celtic.”
Leave nothing in the dressing room, Celtic.
Charlotte Fakes
When I started Celtic Quick News in 2004 I had neither contacts nor inside information. I started writing about the accounts, which was hugely consequential but, at the time, largely ignored public information. Soon after the blog gained some momentum this changed. People would come to me with information and views which were used to direct articles.
It only took a matter of weeks to go from zero contacts to having a network of people feeding into the blog.
I have no idea how Charlotte Fakes acquired some of her early information but, with doubts over the matter, it is understandable that the media was hesitant at touching it under the shadow of Leveson.
The Charlotte Fakes story has moved on, recent revelations have nothing whatsoever to do with Mr Whyte’s mailbox. We are now in the territory of cast iron whistle-blower information. She has her own network of people feeding legally acquired information, which the whistle-blower believes is in the public interest to reveal.
Some people in the game have had their snouts in the trough for so many decades a reservoir of resentment has built up against them among those who were once collaborators but are now cast aside. You are reading the fruits of this on Charlotte Fakes.
The only question is, while the rest of the world has a new-found appreciation of the value of whistle-blowers, are ‘all the president’s men’ still prepared to look the other way in Scotland?

Im 52…
what is the stars,
Forget about ages on here, it’s more like Last of the Summer Whine – The Next Generation :-))
Delighted to hear of return of ‘sack the board’ at Ibrox.. A classic chant I feared had been consigned to history.

52 myself
Malone Bhoy in support of Wee Oscar
My wish list is just that, a wish list, can’t see it happening.
I agree with the priorities, striker first and foremost, and really have no idea if the Pukki fella is the answer, if we get him, we will find out soon enough.
A tad bemused at the defence, big Johan is the ideal coach, maybes an old head is required at the back, the Caini fella has been around long enough.
In the mid, I reckon we need a playmaker, the Biton boy is a DM, but I saw a U tube of him and he was attacking most of the time, maybes he can do both.
We will see.
Qualification is vital.

That’s the same Macca,who tried to get Bill McMurdo to engineer a move to The Glasgow Rangers,but the Huns knocked him back.

I’m 42.
Unless of course you’re a burd in which case I’m 36.
So 2×52=104 ÷2=52
So the top seeds are real .. barca .. manure.. arsenal .. chelsea .. porto .. benfica .. bayern
Juve might scrape into second seeds ..
Go figure .. benfica above juve

Evening Bhoys & Ghirls
We all have Wee Oscar in our hearts and the weekend before last, I asked for as many CQNers to include Wee Oscar in their name. This would not only be printed off and sent to the family, showing our prayers and thoughts were with them, but was sponsored by a couple of generous CQNers which would provide some financial support for the family, in these difficult times.
Well, I have now had time to countback and a fantastic 124 CQNers changed their name, although some in extended time :-) There was also many other kind messages left for the family. I will go back and collate these as well.
But in the year of 125, surely you’re not going to leave me dangling on 124?
Who is going to have the honour of being 125 for Wee Oscar?

How can arsenal be pot 1 when they came thru qualifiers
Clashcitybhoy

Tiny Tim @ 21:30…………….wow, you sure about that ( Macca ) ??
Schalke’s qualification for CL increases the likelihood of Pukki signing for Celtic in the next few days.

Nae wonder i canny get a coupon up
At least Harry’s team got beat
Nir Biton on a 4 year deal?
I listened to Clyde SSB tonight, for the first time in ages. If its a spoof, its only a wee bit funny, like a lazy Only An Excuse.
Otherwise its hellishly boring.
Bland, insipid comments from a panel who sound scared to even hint at an opinion. What could they be scared of ? Is it Jack being back ? Or Charlotte ?
Soal know how you feel
Harry brassneck team losing 2 0 to Swindon at home..
Aye soal… o))

Unlucky Legia. Out on away goals. The wrongly disallowed goal would have put them through. Great support!

Fine, I’ll cool it and allow you and others to slaughter the club based on your own fantastical delusions of mismanagement, conspiracy and mendacity.
Yeah, watch me.
If you don’t like a retort to your ‘opinion’ of the club, don’t post it.
All i’ve said in the past few days is try canning the vitriol and BACK Celtic.
Bemusingly, that’s rankled some. Sign of the entitled times…

Nir Biton signs four-year contract with Celtic subject to receiving a work permit. Ashdod will receive just under £1 million for the Israeli midfielder and have a 20% sell-on clause in Biton’s contract.

When Macca was hard up for cash.
He soldier the story to one of the daily’s,well McMurdo did.
He has since denied it and stated that it was Souness who approached him ,but he said No.
Souness tells a different story .
