The December issue of CQN Magazine has arrived! We have 116 pages material written for and by Celtic supporters. We cover 1254125 (hopefully a phrase you are already familiar with), and our newly fertile African territories. There is an excellent analysis of our perennial penalty problem with lots of articles from fans sharing their Celtic experiences.
………and we cover the Champions League in some style. The games against Barcelona, Spartak and Benfica are all given their place in our history while we look ahead at who we could face in the next round, and beyond!
It’s all there and available to read online for free, although you can sell some of your Sevco shares and pay to have a hard copy specifically crafted for you if you wish.
Before you read, we thought it might be helpful to give you a quick guide on how to use the magazine online…..
A QUICK USERS GUIDE TO GETTING THE MOST FROM CQN MAGAZINE ONLINE
When you see the magazine on CQN – don’t try to read it inside this graphic – click on the button at the bottom right hand side of the magazine which has two diagonal arrows. This will show you the magazine in full screen.
The first button on the left, a little arrow coming out of a box, allows you to SHARE the magazine. You can post to Facebook and Tweet the link on Twitter to spread the word!
The next button – this is the SEARCH function. Type in Barcelona and all the mentions in this edition will be displayed. The third button in from the top left – the next button takes you to RELATED publications. Here you can view all the back editions of CQN Magazine and all the related content we have loaded, including many of the documents in the past year.
The next button is for a Table of Contents but we don’t use this function so ignore that one.
Next along, with the downward pointing arrow is the DOWNLOAD button. If you want to download and read the PDF this is where to do it. The last button at the top left is the PRINT button – ideal if you want a hard copy of page or two.
Moving to the bottom left – we currently have the BUY CQN ANNUAL button.
Over to the bottom right hand corner and working from left to right – the first button has three parts, allowing you to read CQN magazine as a double page, or single or to scroll over the pages.
The next button along to the right, with the plus and minus signs – allows you to increase or decrease the size of the page on your screen – ideal for easy reading.
Next along is the page number, showing the left hand page number you are on from the total in the magazine, in the new issue that is 116 pages (More than double what it used to be incidentally!)
Next along is the button with the two arrows, pointing to left and to right. These allow you to turn the pages forward to the right and back to the left.
Next there is a volume button and finally the arrow we started on at the bottom right hand corner that allows you to view in full screen.
You can also turn pages by scrolling over the page corners. Inside the magazine you will find embedded videos – these can be watched on full screen. There are links to take you direct to advertisers’ websites and at the bottom right hand corner of all right hand editorial pages, to take you back to CQN. Some smaller images have a function that allows us to increase the size – so click on these smaller photographs and the size will increase on your page to give you a better look.
If you want to buy the print version of the magazine you can do so by clicking the Magcloud.com link on the cover or the contents page. Magcloud print a unique copy for you and ship from the US, so unfortunately it’s expensive. You’re vastly cheaper (and some would say better) to order the CQN Annual, which you can do from here.
Enjoy CQN Magazine’s December edition and many thanks to all who contributed!

Has anyone ever asked uefa why 2 teams from the same country can’t meet at the last 16 stage of th CL?
The answer is quite obvious. Money.
Wonder how they would waffle round it though. Shysters.
Away to buy the Hillsboro single now.
There’s a bit of the Georgios Samaras in that picture of Bobby Charlton, the flowing locks cascading over his face.

I’m heading for my kip,let me know what your doing over your holidays and we can fix something up.Good night.
Also remember being at a game at Hampden when Scotland played an old firm (sorry to use that phrase) select and old side shed and Best played for OF…..Ibrox disaster benefit match.
I’ll phone you tomorrow oldtim
Anyone got a year for me?
Arsenal vs Celtic, 80’s, Liam Brady testy mibbe or part of Charlie Nic deal.
Memory fail big time.
Arrived London early doors. Tube full of pinstripes and bowler hats (1st time I ever saw anyone wearing one other than Mr Ben). Sing-song to bemused looks. Trafalgar square. Kick about and kerry-oot. Sight seeing. Got lost. Pub. No colours allowed, I’m told.
Big guy says “Oy guv’nor, he’s wiz me.”
“If you say so, Rog!”
Cue 5 hours of be bevvying…
….somehow makes it to game and remember none of it!
The good old days.
Ps. Rog was a six foot seven Millwall fan.
Ntassoolla –
To be fair to George Best, when he made that comment, he was giving an honest opinion of how his life would have been had he not found fame and fortune in the field of dreams.
His implication was that football saved him from being raised into such a situation where he would be joining in with his peers and “throwing stones at Catholics”.
He was actually extressing gratitide that he had been saved from such a fate.
In the mockup of the draw for tomorrow we were drawn against Juve. I know it doesn’t mean anything.

AKBW1888 I remember the photo in the record on Monday morning.
The guy right in the middle of it was a well known Celtic fanatic.
He was interviewed a few months earlier by a sympathetic journalist as he exited jail in Madrid, after we played Real. She had painted an accurate picture of Spanish police and Spanish jails.
When Big J came out she approached and asked
“So Mr L, how bad were conditions in there?”
Big J, oblivious to what was happening, completely lost the sympathy vote when he replied “That, darlin , is the worst jail ah’ve ever been in!”
The guys on his bus had been constantly harassed by Real fans for three days, under the noses of the Spanish police.
So when they left, in an eye for eye, they kidnapped one of the ringleaders and put him in the hold of the bus and let him out at Calais.
The hero of the piece still has the cut outs and the video of the interview, short as it was.
Stand by for Apocalypse hysteria in the few days left before we’re all doomed. It must be true, the Mayans said the cycle started 5,125 years ago and will end in global catastrophe in December 2012. Or did they? I have never seen the evidence, only reams and reams of complicated unsupportable gobbledygook and esoteric prattle …
… Personally, I think the end of the world is on January 27th 2013 because the Mayans had a different letter system to the later western model. To them ‘J’ was our ‘F’ and so on, except, strangely, for the letter ‘U’ which corresponds in both cultures, although many scholars assert that the Mayan ‘U’ also corresponds with the modern ‘K’.
Therefore, the Mayan name for the first month of the Gregorian year, set out here in brackets, was J (F), A (U), N (C), U (K) A (E) R (D). The Mayan ‘Y’ was often used as an indication that a question was being asked and this is the origin of the extended-form English word ‘why’ which is, itself, widely followed by a question mark.
The Mayan number system also related to a corresponding letter. In this case the numbers 2 and 7 become ‘Y’ and ‘E’. The ‘T’ relates to our letter ‘S’ while the ‘H’ was used by the Mayans to indicate emphasis or exclamation as in our ‘!’. The year 2013 was the end of the Mayan Long Count in my interpretation after decades of research at the Toytown Public Library, and so 2013 had the connotation in Mayan culture of completion or completely.
In this way it can be clearly seen that January 27th 2013 in the Gregorian calendar can be simply translated into the Mayan as: ‘F****d? Yes! Completely.’
I rest my case.
So chill out, we’ve got a few weeks left yet.

my first testimonial was Big Billys v Leeds utd, Andy Ritchie scored and we beat them 1.0.. must have been early 70′s
Andy scored against them in a 3-1 defeat in a friendly if I remember it was a shot from the Jungle side and never left the grass.
Sorry Tom.
I retract that post.

I must confess, I despise Steven Naismith, horrible diving wee Hun runt. Always have.
However.
His charitable contributions in both Glasgow and Liverpool deserve nothing but respect. I am revising my opinion of the man, if not the payer. :-)
Fair play to the man, the causes he supports do incredible work.
Bobby Russel sorry I can’t be more helpful. I spent a year as a primary school teacher and decided “Never again.”

Unfortunately there are laws in place that allow debts to be left behind given certain circumstances, but the entire charade was designed to circumvent all of the debt aspect by declaring the 5 way agreement and the “purchase of history”.
So rather than try and dismantle the validity of the 5 way agreement and the shedding of debt, the question should focus on the one declaration that they cling to that they claim allows them to still be “Rangers” – the purchase of the history.
The purchase appears to omit last season for some reason.
No history they are a so called new Club although with the same followers and
same sectarian bile that’s attached with them the same as their previous make up and that’s shocking that said mob are allowed to disappear over the horizon and avoid
paying hmrc, ticket-us, the 300+ company’s outside football that they have ripped off
& Considering the state of the British Economy @ present how can that make sense?
It does not make sense @ all.
There has been a lot of dodgy dealings going on the background it stinks with
corruption and a while a go I noticed a link which I’m sure someone posted on
this site of some Tory MP crying his eyes out and asking for them to be reprieved
and considering the UK Economy is in a double dip recession the Government
is not really in a position to turn a blind eye to grand larceny now are they?
I think not, also if this was any other football Club including our own would they
be so forgiven? I don’t think so. They have brought Scottish football into disrepute
and they think that they have done nothing wrong who are they trying to fool?
No one but themselves they should be punished one way or another end of
“You can support the warrior and oppose the war”.

Spot on mate.hopefully the flag issue will defuse through time.i won’t hold my breath though as their is elements that are hellbent on using it for their own means.
Hi fellow CQNrs,just read the reports of last nights trouble at ibrox,amidst all the doom and gloom,it has opened up a possible job opportunity for me,allow me to exlain,I was born with a very rare medical condition,due to an inbalance in the bone structure of my hands,they are much denser than the normal appendage.Until now,this has hampered my search for meaningful employment but,after seing the reports of”heavy handed policemen”,I am filled with hope,if anyone has the address where I could apply for a post,it would be much appreciated,and,the great thing is,it need not neccessarily be in Scotland,further research has shown evidence of similarly afflicted officers at work in places as diverse as,Barcelona,Osasuna,Villareal,and,a little closer to home,Manchester,thanks in anticipation,hail hail.
Ntassoola, your first post to me said….

BobbyRussell @21:05 “They also got drinking at football banned, after, you`ve guessed it, Celtic beat them in the 80 Cup Final.”
Sorry to be a pain Booby, but it was after we beat them twice in that cup final.
=============================================
so I replied…

Ntassola, what do you mean, we beat them twice in that cup final?

Best ” …said once when asked what he`d be doing if he wasn`t playing football. He replied that he`d probably be in Belfast fighting the Catholics.”
I didn’t see him at that Cup final. There were plenty of Catholics and booze, so he’d no excuse.
=================================
therefore I asked you…..

Ntassoola, could you please try to explain to me what you are on about?

================================
So could you please explain to me WTF you are on about?

how can you be heavy handed and yet light of fingers?
Bobby repeating the question won’t change my answer.
Over and out.
Ntassoolla, you have totally lost me or it.

I know, I know.
The guy who runs the homeless unit in liverpool said, when interviewed (paraphraing here) ‘we have never turned away a homeless person who needs a bed’.
Naismith gives his own money, and knows how lucky he is.
That’s good enough for me.

I nearly did the same.

Bobby if you’re “totally lost” go to the nearest policeman and explain you predicament.
If you’ve torn the name tag from your wrist try to remember what you did with it.
Dirtymac
Having just read your post properly ……
I get it now! Payer!!!
My bad. Player. Oops
Stringer – you’re a better mhan than me Gonga Din(?)!
It just shows that there is some good in all of us.
HH & nite all. Cannae wait for the draw!
Ntassoolla
you said over and out, do one
BobbyRussell @00:06 “Ntassoolla, you said over and out, do one”
Make me.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
To disgrace, distract, and bother me
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face
And the dust of rumors covers me
But if the arrow is straight
And the point is slick
It can pierce through dust no matter how thick
So I’ll make my stand
And remain as I am
And bid farewell and not give a damn.
bedtime
HH.
so far Bobby all you’ve done is repeat everything I’ve said.
Now what’s that old adage about flattery and imitation?
johnnyquest,
what school did you go to
