Fair play to Newco, a 3-0 win after a 2-0 defeat is an achievement. Anyone who thinks this season will be easy has not been paying attention. Whatever they do in the Champions League playoff round, they will arrive at Celtic Park three weeks on Saturday battle ready.
The circa £5m they earned last night will go towards supporting their structural deficit for the coming season, pending the outcome of their tie against PSV. There is real opportunity, or jeopardy, in those games.
Celtic have to consider whether they are ready to overcome the challenge. Despite early season good form and a manager who delivered spectacularly last season, it is far from clear we are. Newco changed manager mid-term, suffered a midseason wobble, but finished strong, arguably the strongest.
We await to competitively deploy Alexandro Bernabei, Moritz Jenz may, or may not, be used when Carl Stafelt is fit and we are yet to find out what Aaron Mooy can deliver. In short, we can only offer an aspirational opinion on whether our first choice 11 is stronger than last term, or we simply have more cover.
It is reassuring that we continue to be linked with quality players. If our business this month is close to as effective as last August’s, you will enjoy 3 September.

‘Mon the “them”
Kev…you must be boring yourself as much as the rest of us by now
SARGASSOSEA on 11TH AUGUST 2022 12:09 AM…..
I came back to this blog last week after a hiatus of many years. There were a few ramblers on the blog back then, and I recall that we lost a few respected posters as a result.
I didn’t leave the blog as a result of the junk posts. I wandered away due to the fact that a blog is a messy way to have a discussion. This will probably be the cause of my next disappearance.
But yes, it is a bit of a mess. I can’t imagine that many new posters would be attracted to this nonsense. It is a shame, as this site was groundbreaking when it first started.
If Paul 67 thinks its OK for a nutter to come on his blog under a multitude of Clouseau calibre disguises,and slag off,Celtic fans,then who are we to complain?.
Unlike other blogs that have booted his crazy arse off,we just have to suck it up.

So, Celtic fans shouldn’t be criticised for being mugged by Celtic PLC and paying oldco prices for tickets to watch Newco?
And then singing “YOUR NOT RANGERS ANYMORE”!!
What should the Celtic fans who fell or the PLC`s Same Club Lie ticket trick be called, if not mugs, dim, daft, thick, slow, too far up themselves?
Imagine if huns fans got mugged like that, what would we be calling them, what would it say on the T-shirts that Tims would already be wearing?

A good memory is required for anyone who tells lies
If you have no knowledge of your alter ego, and, if you had previously never “knew” or read his/her posts, you seemingly remember when he/she resigned .., ?
Resigning from a blog is the new sort of flounce but still posting
Ange is the here and now … everything else is just history
We are around mid-August .. no CL qualifiers and top of the league … things have been a lot worse for “us” Celtic fans/supporters around this time of year in the last few seasons, but , in my opinion the bad times in the last 2 decades have still been very very few :-)
Roll on Rugby Park … maybe a few fitba posts about the present … we live in hope

We link up on the NAFCSC. I have met you at the Convention in Vegas and also, I think, at the Man. Utd. game in Philly. This site used to be so good to read especially at times of e.g. being visiting or admitted to hospital.
I was up in Ottawa at the College on St. Lauren Blvd, a couple of times in the ‘80s and 90s but never made it to the club.

A note to all Cqn’rs.
On the 29th of July Martin42 brought the sad news to us that Professor Peter Boyle Bigyinmilan had passed away.
After a few days I messaged his daughter Eileen,expressing my sympathies and how we here in our community miss him and as posters expressed,missed the Celtic man’s company,wisdom and craic.i forwarded to Eileen copies of the posts,
Tonight I got a response from Eileen 👇
Thank you so much for sharing these messages and memories. It means a lot to us. Would you mind sharing this thank you message from my Mum with CQN?
“Dear all,
Thank you very much for all your kind expressions of sympathy. Our family were all deeply touched by your messages and memories.
As many have said before, Peter was a man of three “F”: Faith, Family and Football. Celtic was a true part of his life and Celtic Quick News a great way to keep in touch, discuss, and share updates and memories about Celtic and Glasgow. To these “F”s, we would like to add a fourth: “Friendship”. Celtic Quick News brought him together with a group of friends, some he had met, and some he had never but who all shared his passion for Celtic.
You all brought him joy, even through tough times.
He is now with the Father, but rest assured, he will still be with you in Celtic Park.
Helena (wife), Helen, Kathleen and Eileen (daughters)”

I’ve already emailed P67 about individuals they need to monitor. You can easily extrapolate a posters comments for any day and have a look at it contents. Its not rocket science🗼🚀🚀🚀

This is unbelievable and potentially sinister. Reeks of witchfinder general or modern day North Korea
Let the people sing.

It looks that way but when you directly speak to PPB he comes across as a no bad fella. 😗
No wonder half the words seem to fall out of my posts. 😟
THIS IS NOT A KEVJUNGLE POST! ©️
AT 12.59am
There is your CQN right there
P67 might not be some posters cup of tea with their wee digs about his blog but this place has brought many many Celtic fans together .. and a source of comfort for maybe even more 🍀👍

That is exactly what, in my opinion, this site is about. Nothing else needs to be said..
Thank you.

Another head that KEVJUNGLE lives in for free, you better hope he doesn’t become a landlord or he’ll rent you all out!
Ange will be history if he replicates Brendan Rodgers CL group performances, imho, because if we are humiliated, like BR was, Ange has a domestic challenger for the title, BR didn’t, and was domestically unaffected, AP like BR, isn’t capable of being cynical enough to avoid a mugging, ie park the bus.
AP & BR are both idealists.
Hmmmm?
I read a lot of KEVJUNGLE`S posts on here over nearly 2 decades, talking about him tonight has forced you to switch blogs, to come on here and take a cheap shot a guy who for all we know might not even be alive, he was in very poor health was he not, and you be snidey about him?
KEVJUNGLE resigned from here, never been done before, what’s your point caller?
That other blog, SC, didn’t allow KEVJUNGLE to post under his own name as it brought back too many bad memories for BMCW, as he was red carded from CQN, because he arrogantly assumed that CQN rules didn’t apply to him because he was the hoot organiser, every day he was agitating for KEVJUNGLE to be red carded.
Celtic supporters should never adopt “cancel culture” as one day it will bite you back, as BMCW has learned.

THIS IS NOT A KEVJUNGLE POST! ©️
My left thumb hurts scrolling past half of each page. Early onset arthritis?
Thank God for the pics.
Having watched some of the “Darnel’s” (thanks for the memory TT) qualifiers, I rate them as a robust team of runners. By robust I mean their midfield in particular like to play in the “Old Rangers” style. If it moves kick it, and if it passes you bye block it.
Given the appreciation of this style by our referees, I would think our ball players would have a hard bruising time against them. O’Riley, Jota and McGregor particularly will come in for special attention.
It will likely be a bruiser of a midfield battle with the referee leaning heavily in their favour.
Again.

I don’t switch blogs .. I interact with Celtic supporters with different views
Having met a fed of both blogs they all have one thing in common … Celtic
As for yourself mate … keep writing about yourself in the 2nd, 3rd, … how many persons … it’s not a healthy situation for an adult
Hope all is well mate and try and enjoy Celtic
Life is far too short to write our pish on the internet day in and day oot … that’s why I only try and do it a couple of days @ week
Hello again all you young rebels.
Thank you AN TEARMANN for posting that lovely message from
BIGYINMILANS family.
These are the moments that will bring us all together, our love
of the Celtic.
All the other nonsense posted almost continuously every day, is
obviously designed to divide and cause conflict.
Why is it allowed ???
Surely it’s not sanctioned to achieve more clicks ???
Wouldn’t it be great to get back to those halcyon days when toast
and cheese or roasted cheese on toast would lead to other fun
posts or even a quiz between Celticness.
Ah well, we live in hope. 🇮🇪

Good morning all from another glorious morning in the Garngad
Tom Mcg – From yesterday morning, paranoid you feckin bet I am, with the cheating that goes on in this country. But the smsm have no sway in my thoughts as I do not support them in anyway, never look at the rags or listen to the shoite on radio or tv.
If you think it’s just a coincidence that we play 2 of the hardest away times straight away then you are a FOOL.
Kilmasonic hold no threat to us but their shitty pitch does and that can be a game leveller.
The smsm, sfa, must love someone like you.

Good morning from an already very warm North Staffs – it’s going to be a hot one.
A narrow defeat to a championship side last night for the Vale – no EFL cup run 🥺

Where did Rangers play their opening league game?
Good morning all from County Roscommon. Time to survey the ancestral acres and get an update on the County and local GAA teams from my cousin. 😂
The Rossies haven’t won an All Ireland since 1944. No wonder he takes a drink. 😳
AN TEARMANN on 11TH AUGUST 2022 12:59 AM
Thank you. And a big thank you and Hail hail to Bigyinmilan’s family .
Despite insignificant disagreements there really is much more that unites us all.
HH to you and thanks again.

Thanks for posting the note from Peter’s family – at it’s best this is a great place.
If only 40% of UK electricity is generated from fossil fuel why is the price increasing disproportionately.
An T – lovely note last night.
Respect.
Gentle, timely reminder that CQN is, for some at least, a community of real people ( that stretches out behind the moniker ) making real connections with each other.
Have a good ‘un all.
Hail hail

Umpteen posts from Kev J,trying to convince himself he’s not Kev J…..

To be fair, that story originated in the English media.
Bada
If 442 says he’s not and never has been kev J then maybe we should take his / her word – why lie.

SC Blog is read by 7,000 people every day BMCW says?
Really, where are they all?
If BIG PACKY 1, or JIM THE TIM53, have to go out for the shopping, there’s 2 – 3 hours between posts?
7,000?
————————————————
BMCUWP said SC had 7000 readers, NOT 7000 posters.
More pish from you.
Now talk sense or give it a rest.
C’MON THE CELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
