Paddy time, Europa and Remembrance

1055

Celtic recorded victories over Dundee and Hearts after their first two Champions League games but collected only one point from the two league games following the double header against Barcelona.  They also won after only two of their four Champions League qualifying games, so there is no reason to expect a convincing win against Inverness tomorrow.

Inverness slumped to a freak 1-5 defeat at home to Motherwell last week but that was their first defeat since the same team beat them earlier this season.  Like Celtic at the Camp Nou, they will be set on defending deeply at Celtic Park in order to prevent another collapse.  This could be an occasion for Paddy McCourt to prize them open.

I had a look at the Europa League group tables last night.  Udinese, who eclipsed us in the same competition last season, are bottom of their group this year, as are PSV Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon, Athletic Bilbao (who beat Manchester Utd home and away last season) and Helsingborgs.  Other recent opponents Rapid Vienna and Hapoel Tel-Aviv are also bottom.

If you’re on Facebook there is a story on the CQN Magazine page about Benfica implying Celtic only beat Barcelona because of cheating.  Drop in and take a look.  On a related subject, I’ve some good material from Spartak in reserve for the days before their visit.

The Annual Remembrance Service, held by the Celtic Supporters’ Association, takes place tomorrow, in memory of Celtic fans no longer with us, with prayers offered for those departed during the last year, including Joe McBride.

The Mass, at St Michael’s at 1350 Gallowgate just up from Parkhead Cross, will start at 12:30 and should be over in around 30 minutes, after which refreshments will be available in the hall to warm you before you head to the game.  All are welcome to celebrate the memory of those who have gone before us.

Lost wedding ring alert! Someone found a wedding ring in Lisbon which was probably dropped by a Celtic fan. Let me know if you know who is walking around with their hand in their pocket this week.

Get your CQN Annual here, an enormous resource from the keyboards of Celtic fans!

    Elgin announce had the game went ahead, the crowd would have been an Elgin world record

  9. Susan who sounds about 9 years old telling Guidi and Keevins their fortune on Snyde, brilliant.

    Right!

     

     

    I’m a bit slow on the uptake the night!

     

     

    Had an early finish – it’s Friday!

     

     

    Too much alcohol consumed from early/mid-afternoon!

     

     

    HH!!

    Tallybhoy,

     

    good for you, I hope you rise tomorrow without a hangover.

     

    hail hail

  12. On the subject of Elgin.

     

     

    Is it standard practice for the local polis to do a wee check on Friday evening to see if too many tickets have been sold?

     

     

    I mean, is there any reason why the Elginshire polis would have thought this needed checking?

     

     

    Have polis around Scotland thought to carry out a similar check?

     

     

    I would genuinely like to know.

  13. KevJungle

     

     

    That lassie will go far……….. sounds a smart cookie!

     

     

    Good luck to her………….. had them in knots.

  14. Desmond White

     

     

    Is it just me or does anyone else remember the great Desmundo turning up at CP with his QP scarf on?

     

    Great eye sight though – could many people estimate a crowd down to the last couple of hundred from the comfort of the directors box!

    Thank you for that.

     

     

    Had the pleasure of meeting your comrade, although only briefly, a couple of times recently.

     

     

    Seems like a thoroughly decent man.

    CF,

     

    are you thinking there was intellegance that there was trouble plannad for tomorrow

  17. SUNNI CAMLACHIE on

    Could it be that the Grampian

     

    Police don’t want Elgin to suffer

     

    the backlash of the FTT result.

     

    Would the whisky trail ever be

     

    the same if they were let loose!!!

  18. I sat next to Del Amitri at Paradise for the game the week after the St Patricks day massacre. I was only 13 and they made sure I was alright and waved to my old man in the Jungle. I was only 11 or 12 and scared in the Jungle at the Huns games in those days. My old man was a pools agent and got me a rear main stand ticket. Cracking guys. We won too!

    A 30 min Mass Paul ! Can it count as a Vigil for Sunday :)

     

     

    An overhead conversation between mourner and priest at a funeral mass on the morning of the opening game of the season:

     

    Priest, “You going up the road today?”

     

    Mourner, “Aye”

     

    Priest, “I’ll make it as quick as I can”

  20. HamiltonTim

     

     

    Do you mean SwanseaBhoy? Aye, he’s made of the right stuff. For someone from Coatbridge.

  21. Too many tickets sold, not enough seats and we know what the polis think about anyone standing at football matches

  22. Canamalar

     

     

    I don’t know anything.

     

     

    However, these seem like obvious questions to ask in a situation that I can’t recall occurring before.

     

     

    Who at the polis thought on the Friday that they had better phone up and check that Elgin haven’t sold too many tickets?

  23. livibhoy

     

     

    I saw Justin Currie yesterday, typical west end bhoy,on his bike..4

     

    he went past Mc Phabbs for a change though..

    I would humbly suggest that Paddy McCourt is receiving his wages on the very same basis that every other squad player is.

     

    Why he seems to be singled out among all the others is weird.

    I concur. Let the bhoy be. Many of us would jump at the chance to be in his shoes.
