If you are a Celtic fan with a persistent need to worry about something, the sight of so many chances being missed in each of the last two weekends will occupy your mind. The game at Pittodrie was indistinguishable from the game at Inverness (our only domestic game which didn’t end in a win), save from the last minute chance which Inverness equalised with and Aberdeen were unable to convert.
We played five games in October, scoring more than once on only two occasions, when we hit two against Motherwell and caught Ross County with a late onslaught. For a squad with the best two strikers in the country this is a conundrum.
Statistical consistency is not to be expected, of course, teams and players will go through barren and plentiful patches, but since we destroyed Kilmarnock last month, Dundee, Motherwell, Newco, Ross County and Aberdeen have all found ways to defend against Celtic for long periods.
Tomorrow night’s Champions League game stands alone, but we might need to change the pattern of play for the visit of Inverness on Saturday.

Amazing. That is amazing.
Could you show her ma Wee story next time you see her, and if she remembers me (or even if she doesn’t) tell her I send my love and best wishes.
Or feel free to get my email address from Paul or WC and I can tell you my real name.
Do you go to St Brides? Or Fort Apaché, as we used to call it. Lol.
Amazing :)))

Were/are you in East Mains?
And I take it you know Mrs McG?

I’ll get you email from Paul and pass on your story to Vera – she’ll be thrilled.
Lourdes is my parish but for the late night Vigil Masses (Easter, Christmas, Holy Thursday), I take them up as Vera’s neighbour doesn’t like driving at night.
Fort Apache is a bit like Marmite!!!
Fort Apache was my first parish in EK, 1971.
I loved it.

Macjay1 I never gave you any credit. I said you and your ilk. Not sure I have seen you have an original thought ever.
So apologies you felt flattered. It certainly wasn’t meant.
but I have noticed how right wing CQN has become.
As a social scientist it is fascinating for me.
I think I have found my calling when I retire.
=============================================
It seems the post to which I responded has “disappeared “.
As a social scientist , I have no doubt you will know why.
Well reading the exchanges between hunderbirds and like no other makes this blog an amazing and entertaining site. Night all !
Neganon2 has a point
CQN has definitely become more right wing as a function of time these last 9 years that I know of.
More green huns.
More Old Firm welcoming.
More dismissive of politics.
More narrow minded.
To be fair though Macjay is completely Tory in my opinion and defends his points of view well and sometimes unfairly but CQN needs the macjays of the world else this will become just a backslapping celtic blog.

Thanks. I will look forward to hearing from you.
Amazing!

For years we had Philvis, kojo and the Singing Detective. You couldn’t get more right wing, they were CQN’s equivalent of Thatcher, Tebit and Duncan-Smith.
One is sorely missed for his intelligence and incredible wit.
I disagree with pretty much everything Macjay posts outside of Celtic, and most of his posts relating to Celtic, but at least I know it’s an honest opinion and not a troll looking for a bite.

I know its getting worse. Lets move on. :)
So , lads.
Marks out of ten ?
I`d rather you talked about me behind my back .
:-)
Inevitably there will be political chat on here.
The ” labelling ” , however , is a problem .
It`s just political stereotyping which more and more has very little meaning.

relabel yourself then…lets go :)

7 – 1 percent suits me fine.

The political discourse should be food for thought .
No more.
Macjay when you stood up for me on the Karl Hienz joke I knew you were ok. Not like the sanctimonious clowns who have filtered away.

I have tentatively given you a 6/10, but I was holding off on posting your final score until we see how you do in the swimsuit portion of the competition
Macjay in a swimsuit !!!

Thanks for the heads up on the James Drury article. Very nteresting.
Before I retire for the evening it’s important I clarify a few points.
I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with the right wing voices. To an exten five levels difference.
But that is not my point. For over a decade I have been vilified for daring to drag against the grain. It’s worse now than ever but who cares?
But. The sensitive right wing demagogues demand nothing but subservience to their view. I laugh at the so called moderation employed by Paul 67 et al. Whilst guys like turkeybhoy spout their own inane brand of sycophantic bile and nothing is done its screams editorial scensorship.
CQN is parody of what it exposes to be.
But that’s okay except it continuous to plough a moral high ground whilst mired in the dirt.
I guess over a lifetime we are all proven hypocrites. But man. CQN and j beginning to think, the Celtic support take the biscuit.
Either we are who we are or we aren’t.
With guyslike macjay , tonydonnllly and turkeybhoy who exactly are the Huns and what’s the difference again?

=============================================
A middle of the road democrat .
An anti extremist who would have to accept an extremist who had been democratically elected.
I accept the will of the people , however much I disagree with their choice.
The most important factor is not locking yourself into a ” cause ” or ” side” and feeling the need to attempt to justify aspects with which you disagree.
Judge each issue on its merits , not on which ” side ” supports it.
Here endeth the lesson.
For now.

Sanctimonious. Summed up the whole episode.

Unless he claims he visits old people in his spare time and looks after animals, and/or wishes for World peace, therefore showing up well in the “personality” section, MACJAY has no chance no matter what his choice of swimwear is…….
……..unless he has arranged a private viewing with one of the judges ;)
NegAnon2 on 31st October 2016 11:22 pm
I am not disagreeing with you.
You will find that I am one of your strongest supporters here on CQN.
The issue in my opinion is to be understood but you are talking to an audience that just want to beat the huns who should not exist. I’m with you. I’m playing the game. So should you. Dont give up.
Neg, , mags
You two posters are probably the two posters with whom I agree the most re: what Celtic has become. To me, Celtic has lost its moral compass, soul … whatever you want to call it.
You guys catch a lot of grief on here for expressing your views, but always stand your corner.
Respect

Mate.
It`s me who gets the visits.
A private viewing can always be arranged.
BYO magnifying glass.
This Celtic PLC are Phillistines. They are corporate frauds.There is no difference between them and the SFA in my opinion. They are looking for the bigot buck. They are looking for the big hun pension plan. They are in it for the money. Walfrid? GB? Celtic supporters? Just an advertising gimmick for them and paul67 thinks the sun shines out their arse!
Lets see what happens tomorrow.

Kicks off in about five hours.
Not really my cup of meat.
Apparently only one Oz bred horse in the race .

Tomorrow.
In view of the absentees .
Early morn. behind the sofa.
Any point a miracle.
Mags. These days I exist to remind those (including Paul 67) of what they said and what they espoused.
The hypocricy of CQN goes well beyond any Hun site (sorry to those of you who don’t like this truism).
It is Celtic supporters who are the worst. It is us who not only have absorbed the Hun lies but who now tell them more passionately than the Hun.
Ifs that’s all you are. The ying to the yang. Then admit it. Accept it. Be honest about it.
Paul67 spent years posting about the Huns troubles but never once tackled our own hypocracy. He appeared and (sorry Paul) got paid for media appearances. His worst was welcoming back the old firm ( you did it Paul).
For all the bull rap spouted on this site when will we have the courage of our convictions?
On CQN?
Never.
A Pravda, state sponsored, PR site for Celtic ( and the Huns).
Discuss.

It really is perhaps the biggest sporting event in the Australian sporting calendar.
First Tuesday in November. A ” working ” day. Which , of course , stops dead with the start of the race.
A throwback to the `80s which were much more a working man`s paradise.
ALL the ladies get dressed up and attend boozed up lunches .
Billions ( literally ) in tax revenue from gambling.
NegAnon2 on 31st October 2016 11:55 pm
yup absolutely true.
wait a minute Paul67 got paid for media appearances ? No I cannot believe that!
Better not be true. Paul67?

Its well known that Paul has a heated driveway and has his clothes hand made by orphans from the Calais jungle camp
But you wont read that in the MSM
