Half the battle when it comes to PR is not to score an own goal, which Neil Lennon managed to do in his pre-match press conference today when asked about the local ‘tradition’ of ritualistic animal slaughter before the game. “You have to respect the traditions in Kazakhstan, they have a different culture. We have our traditions.
“Our scouts watched Shakhter’s game against Astana on Friday. We know the played a weakened team.
“We arrived early to adapt to the weather condition. The journey went well.
“Tomorrow we play against a strong team. It’s important to get a good result in the first game to increase our chances of reaching the Champions League group stage.”
Really looking forward to this one now.

Monday Night Football on SkySports.
Cringeworthy ‘analysis’ from Neville + Carragher. Channel changed until kick off. Ditto at HT until 2nd half.

Looking forward to the game tomorrow got a feeling it will be a great away win with a few goals to spare hopefully van dijk and moyokolo start at CH and ambrose is sitting with the fans keeping out of trouble HH

hun skelper,
Also very much looking forward to the game. Wish I could share your confidence regarding the result, hope your right. I don’t know enough about the opposition at the moment to form an opinion.
Agree with you though regarding the CH pairing. I’ve been impressed with Moyokolo and virgil looked composed on the ball when he came on, but a start tomorrow night might just be too soon as he has not had much match time.
I hope Efe is nowhere near the centre of defence, every time I see him he is a mistake waiting to happen. His positional play is very poor, and he is very often caught out, with his marker easily losing him at times. Also not physical enough or good enough in the air as a centre half for me.
If Virgil not starting alongside Moyokolo I would prefer Charlie or even perhaps big Lustig at CH.

From the Guardian
”one single, simple fact emerges from all this – Rangers football club got into trouble a long time ago and the mainstream media, whether by commission or omission, failed to do its job. Rather than hold the people in charge to account, it acted as a spin-doctor”

@Paulmcc12 Two days after ‘that’ statement about the DR, Jack Irvine,etc. and the Ian Black story pops up! Isn’t that strange?
So the @ScottishFA can investigate and charge Black but can find no link between Green and Whyte?? #Corrupt #EBTOgilvie
Seems that it’s true no matter where we go you will find us there.

From the last thread:
valentine’s day
Don’t be daft man. No one on here wants Celtic to fail to reach the CL Groups stages BUT if they fail to do so serious questions will be asked of those in charge. Starting with why they didn’t see the need to replace Victor and Gary with similar type players when they knew in advance that they were leaving.
Your post is another futile attempt to stifle meaningful debate on CQN by trying to promote that the nonsense that the critics on here would want us to lose just so that they can criticise. I want Celtic to win through and I will still criticise if I feel the need to.

Glad you’re feeling happy :-))
I’m a big fan of young James. Wasn’t he rated highly by FIFA a couple of years ago, one of 10 youngsters to watch. His form has been up and down since then but he needs time and games to regain the sparkle and early promise that he showed. James isn’t a flash in the pan, he’s the real deal. If you’ve got it it doesn’t go away overnight. We’ll see him at his best before too long. Hopefully starting tomorrow.

Green is desperate to get Black off the wage bill.
Just like he was with Sandaza.
I suspect that Ian Black was grassed up by someone from The Rangers.
If you want to place a bet.
Make the bet that Black will be sacked by TheThe Rangers.
Therefore saving millions on his contract.

Dates back to the early days of CQN when it was very much Mineshafters v Happy Clappers (much like now funnily enough!). I found myself somewhere in between, but tending towards a Happy Clapper.

What about the Edinburgh jury with the guy Wilson who assaulted Neil? Many would say that a man is not guilty even after it has been proven and he has admitted the crime to the court – if the victim is Neil Francis Lennon.
Thanks TTT !

But the Sandaza scandal did not save them money. They reached a settlement with the guy.
Celtic_First, but have they, will they ever pay the Sandaza money?
Shine a light for Oscar at 9pm on Friday.

Hmmm, don’t imagine that was part of the plan. Probably thought they’d get off with just getting rid.
