Keep an eye on Pittodrie

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.

    Pete.

     

     

    Conflict of interest for a married priest.

     

     

    Where does his primary duty lie?

     

     

    A parishioner who requires his presence.

     

     

    A wife or child who requires his presence.

    I cannae sleep.

     

     

    As always on my birthday I try to spend time thinking of my natural Mather.

     

     

    At this point many of you may wish to do the weekly duties of ironing, or hoovering etc. :-)

     

     

    My story is known on here. My greatest fault is my honesty and I know, trust me, that’s not always the best thing and it’s not bigging myself up, some of the people I have no time for on here, are the most honest posters. I have huge admiration for those who can ‘haud their water’! Me, I can’t.

     

     

    You’re posts are becoming either a scroll past or “Aw there’s Petec, we’ll leave him to it!”

     

     

    Sadly.

     

     

    Me priest is a diamond. He loves a laugh, he loves a glass of wine, he loves spending time in the company of those who’ve chosen a different route from his vocation. He is what I’d imagine Jesus to be, a spiritual leader and an inspiration to his flock and parish. Ps but he enjoys a vino! :-)

     

     

    Family?

     

     

    I don’t know the woman who gave birth to me but by God I know she must have cared, otherwise I wouldn’t be annoying you with this!

     

     

    I’ll never meet her (since) but I’m pretty sure that, God willing, she’s thinking of me today like I am of her.

     

     

    Pope Francis is encouraging that. It’s about love, not just for family but also for your priest, who can take the place if need be.

     

     

    Honestly, I find your posts against him to be the very antithesis of Christ’s message.

     

     

    Petec, stop reading and listen.

  6. God is a construct for those that can’t believe that this is it…..u live, ure lucky enuff to have children to carry on yer DNA, then ye die….thats it…..unless you couldn’t care about DNA….u can’t understand us….well fuk u fur yer misunderstanding;-))

     

     

    H.H.

  7. HT,

     

     

    A don’t want to burst yer bubble…..so what if yer birth mother cares about u…..u wouldn’t b who you r without her ;-))

  8. macjay1,

     

     

    We are all Sinners. Elevating people, we are going to be ridiculed.

     

     

    Jesus pointed to God always.

     

     

    It was never ever aboot Jesus when he was on here, when HE steppped into his Creation, it was always about Worshipping the Creator.

     

     

    Now there is a very Strange cocktail going on that is designed to take Everyone and ANYONE it can from believing.

     

     

    Many have been sign sealed and delivered but many are still to be, IMO.

  9. Jeez wide awake……The trouble wae 9 days of Mhanflu(eh supermhanflu thank you very much)

     

    is, yer nights turn intae days and yer days turn intae …..well daze.

     

    Anyhoo upshot is one look in the mirror and a Kenny Rogers beard attacks on all fronts.

     

    If I still partook in the the Ferment of the Ghods ….I swear I would down half a gallon

     

    and join a slumber party… Keep the links coming you never know who might need em.

    Do you think you would be who you are……if yer birth mother had influence over you…..I don’t…..u are who u are thanks to your situation…..and I for 1 am happy for it…..sorry if that bursts yer bubble….but it is who I am ;-))

    It is up to you if you want to scroll past. I certainly won’t try to persuade you to not do so.

    Have a Great day with the bhoys, ghirls and the Great Lady.

    Virginmedia have classed his futurequake website a hate speech site. Astounded of forehead.

     

     

    Sorry for being angry.

     

     

    The site was a gold mine of knowledge just like CQN is.

  15. Hamiltontim on 23rd January 2016 3:05 am

     

     

    A thought provoking post for me HT.

     

    I have a similar background but I eventually did get to meet my birth mother, details of how that came about another time if you like as it’s a long story that might not interest many.

     

     

    However, what prompted me and to find her, and what made me persevere in the search, was the urge that I had to tell her that I was alright, and that whatever the reasons were for her giving me up all that time ago I had no hard feelings towards her. I managed to do that and I’m glad I did.

     

     

    Anyway, I’m not making any big point about it really, just thought I’d share as your post obviously caught my eye.

     

     

    Hail Hail,

    For those who take an interest in the Church and Pope Francis, we’ve recently ordered a white chasuble for our PP, specific to the Year of Mercy, at a cost under £75.

     

     

    It’s not an extravagance, simply a bonus available after we complied with our mum’s bequest to buy two rose chasubles (laetare sunday, gaudete sunday) within budget.

    I’ve tried but ended up doing taxi duties then doing some other stuff!

     

     

    The lurking Tim

     

     

    I completely agree. However, 45 years ago she probably made the hardest decision she’s ever made in her life. God Bless her for that.

     

     

    Ps I probably shouldn’t have brought this onto CQN. But hey ho even jobbie filled LIDL bags is ok now :-)

  18. Petec..Thelurkintim…….

    That`s your truth.

     

    Others have a different truth.

     

     

    I have no problem with your truth.

     

    Seems you have a problem with the truth of others.

     

    Why would that be?

  20. Hamilton Tim,

     

     

    You are who you are…..but I didn’t realise you don’t know who you arn’t…..who you arn’t is a fallacy built up in your mind……why do you think you were given up for adoption….simply because your birth mother couldn’t give you a life that wasn’t drug dependent…..thats bullshit but wat do i know….she was ashamed of your father?….then there’s the hard to understand…..you & I don’t know….like I sed u r who you r…..and I & others love you for it ;-))

     

     

    H.H.

  21. Kevinbhoy

     

     

    I’ve always resisted. You’ll understand why.

     

     

    I’m now of an age where I’m thinking if I don’t do it soon it may be too late. My partner has recently made the first steps because it’s too difficult for me.

     

     

    I’d always said I’d never make contact until my parents were gone but, with my da’s passing, I want to say thank you before it’s too late.

     

     

    Kevin, thank you.

    I do understand, totally. I’m not in the UK just now but I’d be very happy to meet up and have a blether with you about everything sometime when I’m home. Or let me know if you want any further chat about it at all and I’ll get my email address to you. If you don’t I completely get that too.

     

     

    Either way, many happy returns and God bless.
