Keep an eye on Pittodrie

867

St Johnstone have gone five games without a goal – and that includes a home game against Hamilton. They remain in the League Cup, but if they beat Hibs next week, will remarkably have reached the final after only facing lower league opposition. Their only Scottish Cup game against top-flight opponents ended in defeat.

What they can do is defend better than Hamilton, or several others in the league. They kept Celtic to three last month (which these days is an achievement), before keeping a clean sheet against Hearts. Only Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts and Partick have conceded fewer.

Tomorrow’s game is one Celtic will be confident of winning, but chances will not be as easy coming as they were on Tuesday night.

I get it.  The SFA have guidance which suggests New Douglas Park, one of the smallest grounds in Lanarkshire, should be the venue for our Scottish Cup game against East Kilbride. With 6,000 seats it is less than half the size of Fir Park, which is less than 3 miles away.  Moving the game to Fir Park would generate a significant amount of much needed money for grassroots football in Scotland.

Think about that……. generate money for grassroots football in Scotland.  Do the decent this and move this game to Motherwell.  If you want to register for a ticket, do so here.

The more who register, the more reason the SFA have to agree to Fir Park as the venue.

Keep an eye on the game at Pittodrie tonight. I watched 10-man Aberdeen come from behind away to Ross County last week, they were very impressive, but our nearest challengers have developed a blind spot against Dundee.

Three points and a clean sheet tomorrow, please, Celtic.

  3. Roy Croppie, That’s great news. Looking forward to seeing you both in Dublin.

     

     

    Bada Bing, Great if you could make it. I thinking of coming over for the EKFC game, my son used to play for them. A great facility and a really nice crowd in Calderglen.

     

     

    I also like the St Brigid’s Cross on the club badge.

     

     

    Hamilton Tim, Hope the recruitment drive goes well tomorrow.

     

     

    Here’s hoping the flights work out!

    Goodnight folks and here’s hoping for a good display tomorrow. I hope the blog survives its recent turmoils and I’m glad to see P67 back. I like gerryfaethebrig’s description of CQN as a virtual Celtic pub. Things happen in pubs but I’d hate to be barred or even worse the landlord throws us all out…

  8. Margaret McGill my thanks for the probably over kind words.

     

     

    I feel sad in my opinion but I just can’t pretend it isn’t happening. I haven’t done that since I was 17 (well apart from one or two very special ladies).

     

     

    I want what I thought was Celtic back but it won’t happen I fear.

     

     

    Some great tunes tonight.,I love suede and have got tickets next month. I hear the new album is fab. Roy love some of the links and of course photos. Brings back great memories.

     

     

    I think I did change during the referendum. I lost my connection with my so called Scottish people. Just look at BGXs post if you want to know why. Scotland will never recover from the referendum.

     

     

    I take comfort in my age and my luck through the years. I just wish my daughters didn’t have to face what is clearly to come.

  9. Clunks I am told that the new suede album is their best. Have just bought it. Saw them at Glastonbury last year. Brilliant.

     

     

    Roy I absolutely love snow patrol. One of my favourite gigs ever was snow patrol at bellahouston park quite a few years ago. Special. For reasons that are not applicable to a public blog.

     

     

    Celtic fans eh. Always the best and always with the best taste.

  10. Come on the Celts.

     

     

    Delighted for EK and although it isn’t likely to happen, I wouldn’t mind EK snatching a draw with the last kick of the ball, it has to be the last kick though.

    Delighted we have a proper Number 9 again, the way Scott Allan has been playing those first time passes gives tremendous opTiMism for the years ahead.

     

     

    Ronny D can’t you see,

     

     

    Sometimes your football mesmerizes me!!!

     

     

    well not quite yet but it is on its way, imo of course.

    Rememer CQNon a friday night years ago

     

     

    Sure pablophanue might be looking down with a smile on his face and a huge doob hanging out his mouth.

     

     

    CQN over its many years of being alive has helped many people become legends.

     

     

    In their memory must we keep it alive and in the spirit it was borne.

     

     

    RIP to all those who have graced these pages and are no longer here to grace us with their words…….

    —————————

     

     

    its up to us to be the legends of the future,

     

     

    The main difference between then and now is there are now multitude of places to hear people speak like that (and I agree I was in awe of them too) it kinda dilutes the word if you know what i mean?

     

     

    What the blog misses is the spirit of these posters, it was a kind of anarchy, a word that for many years was unspoken and just nodded and whispered about in places many of us could not get to. This for many was an awakening of celticness that we all knew existed but hitherto had no where to discuss it.

     

     

    Times have changed as have the people. For better and for worse.

     

     

    But it is still a great place to be if the great people of this blog remeber it

  19. Poor Neganon….Once the CQN Firebrand Who hated all thing regarding Independence, Hated All Things Celtic Board, Cant watch Celtic coz ” The Corruption is to much for me”..Reduced to Waiting in Desperation for the latest suede( WHO?)..album…Shirley..my thoughts are with you at This Dark Time…Peace out Bruv…LMFAO…

    Is Bernard Butler back in the band??

  21. Margaret McGill in all honesty I am pretty chilled. My main problem in life is working far too hard. But I am of the age now where that Tia demanded. If I survive the next couple of years I will retir and I intend to spend my time being an absolute pain I’m the arse (sorry paul67) enjoying so,e investigative type private journalism. I’ve been. So lucky over the years that i might be able to do that and enjoy it.

  22. HT,

     

     

    i am a sarcastic bastard, i cant help myself. spend all my time keeping it in.

     

     

    but i do like funny first.

     

     

    we spend too much time and energy arguing with morons,

     

     

    we (me) need to refocus on ridicule first,

     

     

    as to Keep it Lit.

     

     

    its how i feel, whatever keeps a person going , then keep it lit.

     

     

    (offcourse its got a very deep republican and socialist meaning for me )

     

     

    but let me say bud

     

     

    your a personal inspiration to me , i loved and admired all your young life stories of your family and your circumstances. your old dad, these things light a spark in me, i admire you very much.

     

     

    my life is busy, its a poor excuse for being a poor human being.

     

     

    your very much a torch bearer for a brother walfrid spirit,

     

     

    and that is keeping it lit.

    Happy Birthday HT

     

     

    Hoop you have a great day

  24. Hamiltontim. I vowed not to go back till it changes and I meant it. But your challenge to me to do aomething has resonated. I will join the trust and I hope I can help.

     

     

    Clunks I have no idea but man I am Impressed by suede.

     

     

    As for BGX. Well. Do I really need to say anything. BGX pursued me one evening and displayed every homophobic trait you can ever imagine (missing the point of course). He still resides on this site and still insults anyone who disagrees with him by habit.

     

     

    We are becoming dominated by the intolerant. I have no answer to this. Apart from my energy to fight it.

    Ryan and I are £70 return each. Booked and paid for it last August. Knew the price would soar nearer Easter.
