Delighted for Martin O’Neill on taking Ireland into the last 16 of the Euros. Since his salad days ended at Celtic, Martin’s had more downs than ups as a manager. I felt the game had moved on from him, even during his five years at Celtic, the game tactically moved away from him, but he’s one of a number of managers of small nations who have overachieved.
I’m not buying Roy Keane’s tears, though. Reaching the last 16 of the Euros is a great achievement, but he disparaged Mick McCarthy’s achievement with Ireland in going out of the 2002 World Cup in the last 16 to Spain on penalties. Maybe it’s time for some humility from Roy.
If anything, Michael O’Neill’s achievements with the north has been even greater. Michael was mentioned as a possible Celtic manager before Brendan’s appointment, but the point was made to me, whatever he achieved in qualifying, he could be embarrassed in all three Euros games. Now he needs to beat Wales for a place in the quarter finals.
The group stages have been a delight. Some big tactical lessons for underdogs, and for teams who face 10 men behind the ball every week. If you don’t make defensive mistakes you can win any game, possession and territorial advantage is a mirage of influence.

Cheers for the info
Duffy would be great signing , last night will have added value to him .
I’d also be delighted to see us look at Richard Keogh , James mcclean and jeff Hendrick from Ireland squad
Good solid players that would do a job for us.

It’s a concern to me that even though CQN went to Private Eye to push the story, today you appear to be unaware of The National’s p!*stake.
A 48 page fortnightly periodical doesn’t do p94. Loads of jokes every issue refer to p94. Can someone at CQN please get a grip and stop embarrassing Celtic fans who want SFA corruption exposed?
SAINT STIVS
I’m sticking with my 53-47 remain forecast.
But you are right about the south,I reckon 60-40 exit in Swindon.
The big hope for exit is if working-class areas have gone UKIP as they did in the election.
We get linked with Irish international players all the time , we don’t seem to sign many or even any.
Hmmm – nephew coming up from Newport and wants to catch the Leicester game.
Any decent seats left? Need 3 tickets now!!! Any help appreciated.
ART OF WAR
Leicester isn’t on the season book,should be plenty available.
1/8 from 1/9 for remain.

I wouldn’t get too exited regarding Brendan Rodgers as our Manager, Ronny Diela has won more trophies than Brendan,up to the present day.

i would like to see Brendans Power Point.
I’m a big fan of his but that’s taking things a bit far in my opinion

No idea what you are on about.
Cheers Bobbio – will look in morning then. Hopefully if Vardy still in team and England have been pumped oot o’ 2016′, i can shout “Vardy-loo”every 10 minutes. :-)

That’s either worthy of the Eye itself,or of an explanation!
“The number 94 is used as a generic large number, to indicate that something is lengthy and boring. This originated with some articles ending mid-sentence with “(continued page 94)” – a page which does not exist, as the organ does not extend to such a length. This has since been expanded to anything else involving a number, e.g. “the awards ceremony, in its 94th year”, or spoof transcripts of radio broadcasts on 94Hz”
1/7 from 1/8 for remain.

Page 94 is also the Private Eye Podcast
Ok guys here’s the problem,
A real statement means revealing exactly what has been said or saying nothing, hobbsons choice.
Danger Will Robinson
We reveal what’s been said we risk further correspondence being terminated due to lack of confidence/trust in the res12 teams discretion.
Remember, future disclosure is not dependent on current conditions however current disclosure dictates current and future options.
Now, discourse is open, if we blurt out everything that’s been said, and it looks like there are further issues to be contested/considered, will we curtail our options ? what’s the best way forward ? Blurt it all out at the risk of getting no further or keeping our counsel and taking it as far as we can in a professional manner. Unusually I’m for keeping shtum until all other options have been exhausted.
You tell us ?

I’m not being cryptic at all. You put up a link, I clicked on it. Correct me if I’m wrong, It’s an article on The National by the kicker. Did you read it?
You don’t think they’re on our side?
cheers
I thought wanyama had 2/3yrs left on contract.

Wrong person. Mr. Q had no interest in football although he was the grandson of Willie Maley. I was the Heidie.

You said we were unaware despite putting the link up.
You quote things not in the article.
You say CqN is embarrassing Celtic supporters – because a journalist writes an article.
We didn’t arrange it by the way. Happy that another paper is discussing the issues.
For all you Uk Citizens

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 23rd June 2016 11:11 pm
Fair enough for The National to make fun of us. Scottish press are scum. I’m disappointed the joke against us wasn’t identified. Should’ve been, is all I’m saying.
BMCUWP,
Wee problem, we got distracted and went into squirrel chasing mode with what was revealed and temporarily forgot the basic tenet of Res12.
Even the meeja encouraged us to answer on their interpretation, and wee almost did.
We are slow but we get there in the end arguing amongst ourselves.
I promised a full and comprehensive statement would be released and then I changed my mind, I considered the implications of a full and comprehensive statement and the only possible outcome I could see, as a result was shutdown of correspondence on the grounds that disclosure meant termination of correspondence.
Sometimes I let my belly rumble and it sounds good to me.
Canamalar you are in a poker game here, why would you consider showing your opponents your hand? Ultimately it is for you ghuys to decide. KTF. Hail Hail Hebcelt
