New, social, CQN, Elvis is dead!

1157

And we’re back!  What a two days of systems nightmare.  We went down at 7pm on Thursday.  No conclusive information on why, we have had traffic volume related outages before, but this was on a more serious and persistent basis. We had to move the database to a new location and restore from backup to recover, we lost a few days articles. Better not speak to me about Fasthosts for a while.

We got access to the databases this morning and took the opportunity to upgrade facilities in the background.  We’re on a new incarnation of WordPress and now have Facebook and Twitter integration.  Good news is you can link your Celtic Quick News account with your Facebook and/or Twitter accounts, and share information from CQN to your social network timeline.

To do so:
Login to Celtic Quick News.
Cick on your name at the top of the Comments box to access your profile.
Scroll to the bottom of the page to access the Facebook and Twitter links.
Update your profile.

You will then see a Share link beside your comments.

Should we be Celtic Slow News for today?  Here it is:

Rennes 1-1 Celtic.
Hugely important second half performance and Joe Ledley goal.
Your favourite billionaire is getting divorced and has claimed he has no money!  Oh dear.
One year on, the SFA are still smoking out religiously offensive correspondents!
The Berlin Wall fell and I hear Elvis is dead.

Have a try at the Facebook and Twitter links and let me know what you think of it.  I’m off for a break but will catch up later.

Most importantly, there is a Celtic fan called Andrew who will be walking about Belfast in a daze this weekend.  If you see him, but him a beer.

  1. Philbhoy - It's just the beginning! on

    Dull, grey skies in Stonehaven this morning.

     

     

    No rain yet, but looks like it aint far away.

     

     

    Got a good feeling about today.

     

     

    What odds, Celtic, Hearts and Man City, to win?

  2. Strangely unconcerned about Hooper playing or not plaaying today.

     

     

    Of late, he has not been the asset he once was and at times his attitude is Skippyesque, which has rubbed off on the team.

     

     

    Stokes for me today, like to see paddy get 45 minutes also.

    Allez les blancs

    Stringer Bell

     

     

    Agree about Hooper, no touch, a yard to slow, and more importantly he doesn’t look happy at his work!

     

     

    Bench time beckons, or leave him out of the squad completely.

     

     

    I’m ok with either.

  5. any bhoys travelling up passing travellodge at Lancaster?

     

     

    Mini BT left a pedomator and needs it for school…?

  6. My selection for today is

     

     

     

    ………………………..Forster

     

     

    Matthews…..Loovens……..Mulgrew….El Khaddouri

     

     

    …………….Kayal…Wanyama….Ledley

     

     

    ……….Forrest………………………………..McCourt

     

     

    …………………………..Stokes

  8. The next time the cooncil come ooot to examine my damp and they tell me it dry I think I will know what they mean

  9. Blantyretim.

     

     

    I’ll still arrive at midday,can’t change the train time..if your going to be much later,I will head for BBs.Where I’ll wait on the call.

  10. took a wee trip over to the dark side there on rangers newsnow and could only find tom english slagging off alistair johnston and a blog from a more enlightend hun on espn. Lets be clear that administration means players going unpaid, contracts that can be cancelled being cancelled, players sold ….most players contracts state that they can give two weeks notice to leave if they go unpaid.

     

    Laffertys contract becoming the latest saga to illustrate the threads coming undone.

     

    by the way. how come dave king remains as only director from old board?

  11. Condolences to HT.

     

    A sad time where you will rely on the support of those around you.

     

     

    HH.

  12. Is that artificial turf they are playing on in NZ

     

    Not one bit of dirt on the nice white french jerseys

    Paddy Gallagher

     

     

    Thanks!

     

     

    Hope you are well!

     

     

    Never better pal, looking forward to getting up to Scotland in November. My mother can’t fly now for health reasons so it’s a drive up and back for me. She usually stays for about a month.

     

     

    Hope you and your clan are fine.

    Paddy Galagher

     

     

    All well thanks!

     

     

    In Stonehaven for the weekend and having a great time.

     

     

    Best wishes to your Mum and drive carefully.l

  16. How much do rangers owe hearts for Wallace. If Rangers go into admin could this harm hearts? Two clubs in admin at the same time. Do hearts owe any other premier league club dough?

     

    HMRC are going to court in November to try to get the law changed on having players as first in line should admin happen.

  17. Increasingly difficult to sift thru the fascinating nigh-shift output.

     

    What material!

     

    Some incredible stuff.

  18. Vmhan who Supports Neil Lennon on

    Hamiltontim condolences on you’re sad loss.

     

     

    You’re friend in Celtic.

  19. HT,

     

     

    Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Typical of a true Celtic man to be thinking of others during this sad time.

     

     

    P67- sincere thanks for all your hard work in getting the blog back up.

     

     

    Forget about the dark side today, 100% support for the Hoops and 100% effort from the team.

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

  20. Morning Bhoys!

     

     

    Productive day in work. Already i have checked CQN, checked the rugby score, checked facebook, checked twitter and put my bets on for today (Man U 2-1, The Hoops 3-0 and the Mini hun to win and a wee side of Celtic 3-1 and Stokesy to bag the first)

     

     

    Mon the Hoops!

  21. Hamiltontim

     

     

    My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sorry to hear tragic news about passing your Dad.

  22. Congrats to the Kiwis

     

     

    French gave it everything with little luck

     

     

    Celebrations all over New Zealand tonight as a country they sure deserve it

     

     

    Enjoyed the tournament, Fifa could learn

  23. Couple of wrong decisions from France – really quite unlucky overall. Well done NZ but France took them right to the wire. Stats have France on top in most areas.
