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:

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……..

For all their cheating, for all the help they got over the years from various sources especially the SFA, where has it got them?
We have a pic on the CQN Magazine Facebook page – Bun fight at Poundland. Have a look – the misery is there for all to see.
For those who haven’t ordered a copy of the fabulous CQN Annual there is still time to receive it for UK delivery before Christmas. Indeed all orders at http://www.cqnbookstore.com will be posted same day and first class so you should receive Saturday or Monday if you order today.
Lliambas was already on the board. All they have done is change his job title.
Get a grip folks.

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.

Do you think it may be possible….that just maybe…..those with Celtic connections have had a major involvement in where the hun now find themselves?
So Show Racism the Red Card are going to offer Tonev a free session on racism.
Where were there comments when thousands sang the Famine Song?
Morning all. Bright but wild, cold and windy down here.
More changes afoot among the undead? What do the latest moves portend? The real end is very nigh??
Interesting doc on the mind of a cyclist. Talking about the mental side of the sport. I think it shows how important mental “strength” is. About 20 mins in Chris Hoy talks about his training and his expectations… I think some footballers could take note.

HT,
Wouldn’t one of those who runs Show Racism the Red Card have been singing along? Isn’t he a season ticket holder at Ibrox?
Tom, it’s more than that.
Only a few days ago, the SFA went public to warn Ashley about having too much influence and control at Poundland, in direct contravention to assurances given to them.
His reaction?
To put his right hand man in the top job. No hiding, no sleight of hand. Just a massive vickies to Regan and the SFA.
If the SFA do nothing, they look pathetic, and are more clearly than ever unfit for purpose. But if they try to kick him out, life support is removed from the Ungrateful Dead (c. James Forrest).
The press have been quick to pounce on Tonev for breaking the rules. Clear as day, Ashley is doing the same. We await the reaction of the bold Tom English et al…

I pointed out the very same thing with Jake the snake this morning!
Very strange.
What I find even more strange is Celtic and Tonev still have the option for take it further yet every man and his dog want an apology or are calling out for this and that.
He’s clearly guilty in their eyes and that wont change even if Celtic and Tonev do take it further.
Parkheadcumsalford.
To me it signals that Ashley is here for the medium term at least. He wants control, and Ibrox will be run his way.
He wants his loans paid back, and he wants to protect his control over the club’s merchandising.
His contempt for the SFA is obvious, and utterly humiliating for them. This is what happens when you spend years trying to appease a bunch of sociopathatic bullies. They’ll never thank you for it.
What all that means for the Huns in the longer term is too early to say, but I don’t think he comes bearing gifts this Christmas…
deniabhoy,
It must be either a very large carpet with all of the other matters buried under it or perhaps they’ve got a magic carpet that makes their embarrassing shenanigans disappear completely.
Regardless, you could almost pen the conclusion to this fiasco yourself?

I don’t think most people fully understand the levels of concentration required to ride for 5 hours in a peloton at racing speed.
I’ve never been in a big group, but I’ve ridden close with a couple of amateur racers and it’s really scary.

The SFA will have to do something about it, they cant do nothing (cough cough).
What they can sanction or do I do not know, but they can’t not act on this.
No surprise that news got out that Regan wants out to the FA gig, any thoughts that the SFA will prevent this happening at Ibrox is wishful thinking.What though can other members of the SFA do to insist they apply their rules as agreed ?
What IS Michael up to…..?

I have struggled to get my head around what’s in it for Ashley. The conclusion I come to is he has in the palm of his hands a prime real estate site.
I can only foresee a doomsday scenario, certainly another administration and just maybe the ultimate…Third Lanark scenario.
All I want for Christmas, you guess!
Keep the Faith!

…………………………………………………..
Singhing along more like.
Absolute hypocrites.
I have listened all my life to anti-Irish racism about fenian blood and not a dickie bird from the SFA or police. In fact in 2011 it was described as part of a brilliant atmposphere at Hampden!
Celtic could destroy the SFA in heartbeat if Dermot Desmond gave the go ahead.
Problem is these powerful owners try to avoid controversy like the plague,same as that UEFA mob.All that they want is a quiet life.Order and stability is their raison d’etre.
All power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I’m not for a minute trying to suggest that these wealthy business types are or have been involved in any nefarious activity,ill-gotten gains,or not.

_________________________
The ‘only way to alter that sad state of affairs is to
Sack The Celtic Board.
There is only one group of people who, if driven properly and focused…can knock Scottish Football down and, rebuild it – properly.
That group of people….the supporters of Glasgow Celtic.
Not too long ago, I believe I would be correct in saying that Celtic’s fans generated 33% of the financial turnover in Scottish Football?
If I’m wrong…I bow to whoever has the superior knowledge.
Now,back to my point….Celtic supporters – organised / driven / focused…could save the game in this country by, flexing their considerable muscle and, it is considerable.
If, the Celtic support are driven by a desire for ‘freedom from the masonic clutches’ and not allowing themselves to be ‘easily’ duped by cheap Rory Bremner types of throw away lines at yet another ‘cosy’ AGM then, positive / honest / productive initiatives could be embarked upon with close allegiance with ‘all’ other clubs fans and not just a chosen few to, take the bold steps to move the game forward and not – park it in a lay-bye – awaiting the return of the cheating / mibbery-assisted huns.
First things first…Celtic fans, before they become all revolutional or, rebellious…have to solve the problems in their own home.
The current Celtic board have to be gotten rid of or – the game in this country will die due to, self preservationist hun collusion.
Get the Celtic support to with-hold next seasons SB money and, if DD wants to be in control of Celtic then, he’ll have to realise that with that control comes a, great responsibility. The with-holding of SB money might sound archiac and, probebly is.
But, wasn’t it equally archaic when Celts For Change ‘influenced’ to support to, bhoycott the Killie game at home in 1994 – to save the club by Sacking The Board?
The 1994 Celtic Board were sacked to allow Celtic FC to rebuild and move forward by building a stadium that the Celtic fans paid for with their own money.
There is a different dynamic involved with the, 2014 Celtic Board.
This time the fans ‘have to’ get rid of a Celtic Board who, by their own duplicity have made ‘every’ Celtic fan a potential criminal. That is not on.
The present Celtic Board have sold the clubs soul to all the devils at park gardens.
Or, their in the process of doing so.
They cannot be trusted and have to be gotten rid of.
So, it’s up to each Celtic fan to decide to either, realise that ‘you’ have the key to Celtic fans freedom from the SFA / hun establishments bondage or, ‘you’ can continue to, not even get on the bus to sit at the back….?!?!?
The simple formula….tell the board that, if they want ‘your’ SB money, then they will have to hand over control of the club to – Celtic supporters – just like Fergus promised….Aye.
Sack The Board
Off oot tae see Santa, bye.
Morning Bhoys if half the teams that the MSM tell us are after Van Dyke are true he should become our record sale as we should make them out bid each other.The money we get should be given straight to Rony to rebuild the team. H.H.
Tamerlane.
The personification of evil.
I cannot say for certain if the information written below is historically accurate,or not:
Tamerlane’s body was exhumed from his tomb in 1941 by the Soviet anthropologist Mikhail M. Gerasimov.
It is alleged that Tamerlane’s tomb was inscribed with the words, “When I rise from the dead, the world shall tremble.” It is also said that when Gerasimov exhumed the body, an additional inscription inside the casket was found reading, “Who ever opens my tomb, shall unleash an invader more terrible than I.”In any case, the same day Gerasimov begun the exhumation, Adolf Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, the largest military invasion of all time, upon the USSR.
Incredible if true all the same.
HH.
KevJungle – “RFC / SFA / Scottish establishments biggest fear is that – one day – Celtic Football Club will be run by rebellious Celtic fans who – dont – kow-tow to a hun establishment”. Simples.
I’m disappointed Mate I thought you were Santa:))
So you’re starting a Celts for Change 2 then??
Serious question..
Seasons Greetings Bhoys
How about…The Mike Ashley Rangers Heritage Village
Ipox Car Park….with video screens on the parking bays, showing what ipox used to be like in the 20th Century…..all their best cheating moments.
And why not pop in to the new Mike Ashley multiplex.
Ipox prime real estate….houses, shops, pubs, hotels, car park…..should be a great income generator for the city.

Mornig All,

Thanx in advance.

I was reading back to captain beef hearts views on the term the back of the bus.
The term is of course analogous. It represents the special treatment meted out to a victimised minority.
I am of course not making a direct comparison to the suffering of black Americans. However the root cause of the alienation of irish catholics in Scotland and black Americans is the same. The homogeneous majority, largely through fear, castigating the minority.
In Scotland it just so,happens that that minority are irish catholics and in particular celtic fans.
I have noticed a change in Scotland and not for the better. Those claiming this is ancient history of course merely need to be referenced to the OB act and the actions of the police thereafter.
But the change I now see is that growing numbers of celtic fans are now falling for the wallowing in victimhood line and or stating that celtic fans are taking a holier than thou attitude.
I find it interesting that this notion is growing in popularity. My friends count among this.
Here we are with open and wanted corruption taking place around us. I charge celtic with engagement in that. It’s purpose is to restore upon us the main vehicle for sectarian acts against us. To return us to what the majority see as our rightful place in society.
And yet growing number of celtic fans are turning on their own for being self righteous about it. Why?
I honestly can’t fathom it.
I know many of the guys I go to the games with just want a return to playing the Hun. Like a normal order will be restored. I can figure it out? Why go back to being a vi time. Isn’t that wallowing in victimhood.
Perhaps the good bloggers of cqn can hel me understand?
Wonder what level of permarage the ole huns on FF or RM are at. Off the scale?
Any of our more intrepid bhoys had a wee look in to see what they’re grunting/squealing about? Can’t bring myself to do it.

After the news from villa last night does it mean Roy Keane has joined the Jehovah’s Witness?
No disrespect to them
Inter v Celtic .
Inter have announced that tickets will be on sale for season ticket holders only as of 23 December . Tickets will go on general sale in mid January 2015 . If the official website is to be believed , the Celtic support will be in part of the part of the stadium known as Terzo Blu ( so far from the pitch it is heading. for Switzerland ) Listed price is 23 euros

The attitude of the cyclists is amazing. Chris Hoy talks about not really caring about whether he loses as long that when he is about to start he has done the best prep possible. Victoria Pendleton says she NEVER missed her training sessions.
In light of the revalation from Hugh Keevins that Celtic were involved in the 5 way agreement if that is the case does it mean Celtic have know the answer to resolution 12 all along and have just been stalling the fans ? I am not looking to create an arguement but just trying to understand our situation in light of Keevins statement. H.H.
Neganon2, frankly I can’t help you.
I agree with you, I can’t understand why anyone would want to play in the same competition as a cheat, that may be a less contentious way of saying I’m not a victim and don’t want to live with victimhood, but it amounts to the same thing.
Most people I discuss this with feel the same.
Nurse, help, I agreed with Neganon2, up the dosage!!!!!!!!

The sfa will do sfa
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
And will take as long as possible to do just that.
The hearing scheduled for 27 January will not be conclusive and will lead to further hearings and delays.
History has shown that it is delay until the end of the season and then delay until the start of the season.
