Midweek change for Celtic

940

Busy article today, watch out for notes at the bottom on:

Magners ticket competition for 27 December
Mary’s Meals Malawi school kitchen appeal
CQN Annual, final few posting days before…..
CQN Christmas Raffle – winners have been drawn

One of the resources Ronny Deila has been short of since taking over is training days.  Players have stamina, fitness and speed training work to do every week, while there’s rest time before and after games, so time to work on technical aspects are a premium.

Believe it or not, this is the first midweek Celtic haven’t had a game, or players away on international duty, since the second week of July.  The manager has spoken of how difficult it has been to carry out the extensive tactical changes he has introduced spending only stolen minutes working on them.  The January break will give him another opportunity to spend hours with the players on tactical work.

Apparently newco are keeping McCoist as some kind of blubber human shield for Monday’s AGM!  Nice one.  There’s nothing degrading about that, very classy in fact.  Really disappointed for Ally, I’m sure he could almost taste the £400k he’s counting on – to go quietly.  Let’s hope he puts on a show on Monday and they sort him out thereafter.

It’s almost worth buying a newco share to get along on Monday.  Almost.

It’s been a while since I’ve paid any attention to the man who’s apparently lined-up to replace McCoist next week, Billy Davies.  After his interesting second stint at Nottingham Forest ended earlier this year, The Guardian wrote:

“[Davies] has paid the price for failing to control a personality which latterly seemed to have crossed the border into downright paranoia.

“[He] could never quite escape his self-destructive insecurities.”

It’s not often you read a national newspaper liberally speculating on the mental health, or lack thereof, of an individual.

Failing to control his personality, downright paranoia, self-destructive insecurities!  He’s perfect.  Is there a job in the land this guy is more suited for than newco’s manager?

Our pals at Magners have kindly offered a pair of premium seat tickets to the Jock Stein Stand at the home game on 27 December in support of our Mary’s Meals appeal.  You can win the tickets by email me at celticquicknews@gmail.com the answer to the question:

Who do Celtic play on 27 December?

Competition closes at 22:00 tonight (Thursday) so get your entry in.

If you’re entering the competition please consider donating £1 to Mary’s Meals here, where we are hoping to build a kitchen at a school in Chibwata, Dowa, Malawi, for their 909 children.

I’d a look at John Guidetti’s interview with Magners this week, he looks like he’s enjoying himself……..

We’ve drawn the CQN Christmas Raffle, winner of the Special Whisky and CQN Package is ticket number 976, from a lucky reader based in Lythm, we’ll be in touch.

The four runners up all win CQN Packages with ticket numbers 1072, 974, 1190 and 1051, check your tickets, we’ll be in touch soon.

Still time to order your 2015 CQN Annual for Christmas.

  1. Morning!

     

     

    Anybody still up?

     

     

    Early rise for me – flight to catch in three hours.

     

     

    Glasgow for 1315 hours.

     

     

    I better go and pack.

     

     

    HH!!

  2. ACGR

     

     

    Its perfectly true that we neither need nor want them but some version of them will eventually emerge from the present cluster***k. If they persist with WATP, then they will be forever consigned to mediocrity because no-one can fund their bloated expectations any more. Who is going to spend tens of millions in order that a bunch of sociopaths can shout their supremacist nonsense at the rest of us?

     

    No matter what they do, they will NEVER equal our achievements.

     

    HH bruv.

    I seen you in action….

     

     

    The Biggest Qheen Haifa ever, Rolled by the Khing.

     

     

    I’m still a mad Rebel hanging in here and listening to different points of view.

     

     

    CQN has killed Kojo… that was wrong.

     

     

    Celtic, Celtic.

     

     

    Cannae wait for Belfast. If I had a Wish, I’d wish for Kojo to be in the pub I’m drinking with 16 roads.

  4. Ronny Deila is bringing in the 2nd Half HUDDLE, Obvious or something deeper?

     

     

    5-0 first half please….

     

    in 12 Months Celtic will be winning 5-0 before HT, most Domestic games, IMO.

     

     

    I might need to go to the away games, to just say a Word, I hope I never have to do that.

     

     

    It Hurts very much getting your head smashed against a Wall, I know that from St Pats in Dumbarton, aparently nothing

     

     

    A fight for nothing but tribalism.

  5. Personally speaking it’s the dulcet legitimate tones of Ken that conditioned both my past and present….

     

     

    It’s only Sport on a Saturday sure…

     

    Check out that upper Tier….

    Murray has billions to answer for…

     

    His Brothers even more…

     

    But they will never even be asked.

  6. Good morning friends and a Big Happy Pre Christmas Friday from East Kilbride where 24 hours of pretty much non stop rain appears to have stopped. For now.

  7. Morning all! Last day at work before the hols!

     

    Too dark to give a weather report.

     

    Give us another carlsberg Friday!!

  8. Anti red.

     

     

    They ain’t a phoenix or dragon like.

     

     

    These are MYTHICAL AND DIGNIFIED CREATURES.

     

     

    Cockroaches is what they are

  9. Morning All,

     

    It sure sounds blustery outdoor I suppose one had better get ready for his last working Friday of year.

     

     

    A few more days of work then Santa will be her.

     

     

    Hail hail M

  10. Oh and just before I head off to work I’ve noticed the last few games we’ve played that the players do the huddle just before the 2nd half starts as well. Which is nice.

  11. @ClydeSSB: Announcement from #Rangers that Derek Llambias has been appointed Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect

  12. Rangers have announced the appointment of existing board member Derek Llambias as their new chief executive.

     

     

    Ashley casually flicks two fingers in the direction of the muppets who run football in this country. Their reaction? Probably the usual!

    Never saw that comin……..phhhfffftt

  14. the glorious balance sheet on

    I would say having your go-to-guy on the board and appointed also as CEO constitutes “influence and control.”

     

     

    No doubt the SFA SPFL and their member clubs, including Celtic, will see hear and speak no evil yet again.

     

     

    Move on, nothing to see here.

  15. OMG – how will the SFA & SPFL cope with having an Ibrox CEO and Board that don’t play by the rules? They have never faced such a scenario before, have they?

  16. Me thinks the powers that be will be hastily rewriting the rules book to ensure this can be brushed under the carpet.

    So you work in a sex change clinic?

     

     

    HH jamesgang

  18. Or is Michael moving to take control?

     

     

    What’d you mean… It’s only the SFA, he’ll roll them over and tickle their tummies

    Could be wrong, but I predict a collective movement, followed by a nasty odour.

  20. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    Wow,bad nightshift.

     

     

    Not on here,just my own!

     

     

    Get back in just in time to read that Ashley has told the SFA who calls the shots. Should be interesting.

     

     

    Since IMO Celtic decided not to be seen as the ones who fired the fatal bullet into the huns a few years back,I suspect the SFA will do the same now.

     

     

    One good thing though. Ashley will make sure they live within their means. And,since virtually everything else has been stripped out and hived off,that’s ticket money.

     

     

    So they’re screwed. Once he figures out how to get his money back,adios.

     

     

    And on the subject of adios…

     

     

    BON VOYAGE,TALLYBHOY!!!

     

     

    (He speaks French as well,awright?!)

  21. Sandy, Oh Sandy, Campbell wants to see you in his office right away. He says to bring along a pencil and a big rubber.

     

    Which colour will the rabbit be that Bryson pulls out of the hat this time, it may even b e a rabbit of many colours since the SFA have set the precedent of not departing from their myopic adherence to their sacrosanct rule book and rules of engagement.

     

     

    Oh! Wait a wee mo… Bryson works for the SFA doesn’t he… then he’s conflicted, maybe not as much as dear old Campbell, but conflicted nonetheless.

     

    I’d say this could be interesting but I’d be lying.

     

     

    It’ll be so predictable, so boringly predictable. And some will clap like retarded seals. Still you get what you sow, or prop up with your coin at least.

  22. Peter, oh Peter, Campbell will see you in his office now and don’t forget to take off your shoes and don’t genuflect too piously either, you know that makes him want to puke.
