What a lot of nonsense we’re been through since last week. My information was that we were interested in Roy Keane but no deal had been concluded. Martin O’Neill helpfully (cough) poured fuel on the fire by confirming he gave Roy permission to speak to Celtic, but despite several newspapers running the story that he was set to be appointed no later than today, the deal was never as close as reported.
Roy’s position on the short list was made time-critical by the fact that he was due to leave on tour with Ireland tomorrow, but talks continued in parallel with other targets.
The overwhelming reaction to yesterday’s news among the Celtic support was that we had a lucky escape. There was a Rangers fan who used to come onto the CQN comments section after Neil Lennon’s first season in charge and taunt us that Dermott Desmond was going to sack Neil and appoint Roy Keane. We didn’t take him seriously………
I’ve never been in the business of rubbishing Celtic players or managers before they arrive (although I’ve never backed a managerial appointment since starting CQN) but Keane represented a huge and unacceptable risk to Celtic. We have an excellent football infrastructure and development strategy, with good coaches at all levels. We need a technically gifted tactician, capable of dovetailing with this strategy. Whatever Keane is, there is little evidence that he is a tactical genius, or that he’s likely to dovetail with anyone else’s strategy. The potential disruption his unique brand of focus would bring could be considerable.
Although you can expect a daily drip of ‘news’, I don’t expect any actual news in the short-term.
Visit the CQN Bookstore to get Tommy Gemmell to sign your personal copy of his tome, All the Best.
Shout out to Frank O’Hagan, who supported the CQN Charity Golf Day with his music three years ago. He’s playing Glasgow Uni Union on Friday night, get along if you can.

Grrrrrrrrr..
The bould bahoy…….
Some people sup espresso coffee and earn money selling into South East Asia at certain times when you should be sleeping mate…….Postman probably delivers Giros in the afternoon?
Hail Hail
‘the bould bahoys’:
I have no idea why you are behaving the way you are but I’ll tell you this mate, if you are not embarrassing yourself you are most certainly embarrassing me.
There is a time and place for most things and having read back a wee bit before I jumped in, then I don’t see this as the time or the place for all your bellicose posts. You appear to be getting aggressive for no known reason and that reflects badly on you and nobody else.
GRRRRRRRRRRRR(IN CAPS YA TWAT)
Kitalba
Then I suggest you read back again….properly

PL is Celtic daft. He is desperate to ensure that we will never go skint like the huns. Pretty sure DD is too.
I’m confident that our next manager will be a good coach and we’ll see a decent team on the park.
God give me strength.
Yeh the huna sites you can swear like a trooper and show no respect for yourself or younger people reading, you can also go full pelt into any racist paranoia or innuendo you want.
Np thanks.we set our own standards.we are Celtic fans.we learn.we improve.we get better mutual respect ia a given.
Love your neighbour

I always try and defend PL mate, it is a difficult job that he does , just think that he is a wee bit naive when it comes to the football side of things.
Hopefully he chooses a decent manager, and the 10 I-A-R can be achieved with the minimum of fuss.

I have no need to read back again, you have insulted many innocuous posters on here tonight. I don’t know what your problem is, I just don’t remember all this pent up aggression manifesting into such rude and disgusting posts. I don’t even know if you have a problem or if you are just being aggressive and insulting because that is the way you want to behave, choose to behave, but do me a favour mate, I stood up for you against many who had valid cause to doubt your intentions, I’m not going to stand up for you again if you persist in your nonsense of late.
If you want to get something off your chest by abusing people then get it off your chest by abusing me. Leave them alone or I will be the one in the morning asking our host to remove you.

The serenity prayer is a wonderful thing……
Talk to you anytime you want mate……
‘the bold bahoys’
I’m sure, when you read back in the morning, you’ll realise that you’ve caused needless offence to folk. I’m off to my cot now and I expect to read your apology sometime tomorrow.

Good night, mate. See you at paradise when the fitba’ restarts.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Broadcasting Standards Commission (BSC) and the Independent Television Commission (ITC), once carried out a survey to define the most offensive words used in print and on broadcasts, it was called ‘Delete Expletives’, if you were to Google it you’ll see what those who responded, which was all demographics, all colours, all creeds and none, nationwide, determined what was, and what was not, offensive – and put them into a league table.
The Bould Bahoys….
What do I do?
Pay 40% tax on my income to support someone like you……….
I hope you deserve it
‘the bould bahoys’:

I vaguely remember meeting you at the hootenanny. Hope you’re well.

Ger57, how you doing buddy? I thought you were playing at Aberdour and secured the services of a proper caddie……………………
Provo Joe. Useless as fak but he’ll know where the beers are in the bag.
he bould bahoys’,
“intimidate you”, naw. I’ve read back and been amused ya hun..
‘the bould bahoys’ :
I’m telling you straight to your face mate, let it go or I will ask Paul in the morning to remove you and if he doesn’t then I will remove myself. You are abusing the privilege of the forum and your are ruining the enjoyment of others for what reason I cannot fathom and I have better things to do with my time that to read your inane abuses. I am quite happy to dive in when there is a good barney with substance, and I don’t mind too much when sweary words are used in anger, that’s life as we know it, but I can garner no reason at all for your behaviour tonight.
I wonder if you’ll still be calling me a man of honour then….
A Ceiler Gonof Rust”
Please desist.

I assume I’m not playing because I haven’t had a reply from the organisers. I take it I should have heard by now.
Or to more the point Paul67, your masters voice…
Keane would have been unacceptable … face of Timism.
‘the bould bahoys’
I did not say I would remove you, I said I would ask Paul to remove you and if he doesn’t then I will no longer come back here… because of your behaviour.
BB, golf club wanker is a badge of honor ha ha.
Thanks and slobbery kisses to you.
