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……..

EmbraMike, Linkedin.
Have a blast.

The players would need to have a very long look at themselves. If we don;t win by 3 clear goals then it’s a poor result.

Our board aren’t prefect. I don’t think anyone would claim they are. Neither are they siting around plotting how to damage Celtic and help Newco Rangers.

Oh, and….if these are such good times….why’s the park hauf empty?
Happy Birthday EmbraMike.

It’s all just said to get attention. Don’t take it too seriously.
He can’t post when at work, that’ll be eating at him because he can’t answer:-)

I never ever liked going anywhere near their rancid ‘hatred’…..resistance was the name of the game for me….and, let me tell you, I am absolutely delighted that they are deed / gone / buried …… If any tribute act ever gets into the SPFL, I am delighted to report that I will never enter the same stadium as their hate-filled hoardes, home or away …..I have loved my football in the past 2 years….!!!!!!!!

Well….if, you knew the truth….you’d know that Hugh Keevins is no longer banned.
Also….are you not curious as to why these Internet Bampots who have brilliantly dug up all the stuff about the huns finances….cant find out where all the Celtic money goes?
I mean, it dizny get paid out on player recruitment fees – it dizny get paid out in player wages as these have all been subject to cuts so….where does all the Celtic money go?
Gattuso .? .
He would make Sleekit look good .
For example -see this ———
Not Permet -I have diploma-Sfuriata Gattuso in Inglese .

You’re being a boring little shoite today …….away oot and buy my Xmas present, instead of sitting there ‘flatulencing in the wind’ ……… Jingle Bells
Good morning everyone I’m looking for a bit of info regarding the Milan away game. My colleague at work is a season book holder but has never been abroad with Celtic ( nor have I unfortunately) – can any of you advise his best way to get tickets for Milan.
Many thanks

From a few days back…
What astronomy course are you doing?
LiviBhoy:
I’m not too bothered about the players in my hypothetic offering, I’m much more concerned about the supporters. The Supporters of Celtic.
I’ve no idea of what the odds are going to be for the next Celtic v Rangers game, but as a certain Celtic legend once said… “only a fool would predict the score”….
I won’t be betting my house on it, that’s for sure. And I’m sure there are many who’ll cry me out defeatist… well maybe they have some substance to such an insult but they’ll garner more credence to their insult if they put their house on a Celtic win.
Maybe I’ll just hedge my own personal bets with a couple of side bets and no hun hubris.
Who is running Scottish football? Is it the Trappist monks from the .S.F.A. or the ‘funny folk’ from Govan/Newcastle?
Point of note.
Keevins was never banned from Celtic park.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha……..you’re assuming Scottish Football is actually being ‘run’.

I appreciate where you are coming from there.
I don’t bet much these days but the odds are not of interest.
Celtic should beat any lower league team by 3 clear goals. We have pumped the team flying high at the top of the league twice without playing all that well.
I don;t see Sevco being a problem.

Exactly. It’s longer and more satisfying – like Sting and his ole’ tantric sex? ;-)

Correct! Agree with you there. I will still enjoy beating this tribute act. I won;t be there to see it though. TV does for me.

And a guest appearance from yours truly…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
You hate their hubris… you hate their club… you hate their being… you hate they’re breathing…
not an awful lot of tolerance and an awful lot of hate.
An accident of birth…
There but for the grace of my God go I…
I hate because they make me hate… really.
If you look into your heart and don’t lie to yourself, then that’ll tell you all you ever need to ever know about hate.
Or if there is a spare bucket of sand to hand… bury your head in it and justify your hate to nobody, not even yourself.
LiviBhoy:
I do.

They can’t dig anything ‘juicy’ up because it’s all there in our accounts which we publish with alarming regularity year on year. The money in and money out columns add up correctly and it all makes sense and is very, very boring.
LiviBhoy
As a frustrated STH and share holder, I am drafting a letter for Peter Lawwell’s attention to raise some of the issues that did not get adequately addressed at the AGM and I did not get the opportunity to mention.
I will ask for clarification of issues such as the ‘new club’ myth, Resolution 12, the ‘5 way agreement’, DD’s role etc, and Celtic’s stance in addressing these.
I would hope to have answers in writing, if not face to face.
Accordingly, I would appreciate your input (over that pint) before I finalise the content and forward to our CEO ?
And thanks for the HB

Ach don’t be coming on here dealing in facts – you’ll make no friends! :-)
I hate we have to find fault with them at every moment of every day. I suppose it is funny and I suppose it deflects our concerns away from our very own glaring limitations.

Take a day off mate it must be hard being a dick all the time
“Celtic should beat any lower league team by 3 clear goals.”
Livibhoy,
Should? Maybe. But this is football we are talking about.
Morton, ict, raith, arbroath……
Nae wunner you don’t bet much neebs ;)

I don’t know if I can prove it. It’s such a silly assertion that it doesn’t really need disproving. Can you prove that the Sevco board aren’t plotting to overthrow the North Korean Government?
There are many reasons the stands are half empty. Self righteous supporters who take more pleasure in criticising every aspect of the club on message boards than attending or watching games is one of them.
For someone who seems to take absolutely no pleasure in “following” Celtic you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time here.
Serious question, when was the last time you enjoyed supporting Celtic?
Natknow,
Hush now bigot :))

It’s an Old Firm ‘bored’…..the other half of the Old Firm have been proven – cheats / liars / con-men / fraudsters / racketeers etc…but, our side of the Old Firm ‘bored’ are snowmen?
Is that what yer trying to tell me?
