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!

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
15:54 on 23 November, 2012
KEVJUNGLE
Des Whyte was the WORST chairman in our history.
He was the prick whose ego was bigger than Jock’s legend,and couldnae wait to sack him.
_______________________________________________________________
Was this not the stage in Jock’s career when – Jock was beefing-up the playing side with the likes of…
Roy Kay ?
Frank Munro ?
John Dowie ?
Johnny Gibson ?
_________________________________________________________________
He was the eejit who told Davie Hay that if he wanted Stevie Clarke so badly,he would have to sign him with his own money.
__________________________________________________________
Wrong !
This was Jack McGinn
__________________________________________________________
He was the twat who reckoned that a few bob from a replayed match-from 3-1 down,remember-against Rapid was a good idea.
_________________________________________________________
And – what if we’d won that game ?
_________________________________________________________
He was the choob who emblazoned The Celtic View every summer wi stories about our latest £1m up-grade to the sadium. For the fans to discover some yellow lines on the steps,and a repainted barrier or two.
________________________________________________________________
I didny buy the Celtic view – a wisny daft enough.
________________________________________________________________
Aye,he’s a great chairman,like Keevins is a great journalist.
I’l leave Murdo out of it,in deference ONLY to his on-field performances for us.
But one thing I will say for DW.
I doubt he’s as much of a twat,prick,choob or eejit as your good self.
At times……….
______________________________________________________________
As for the rest…..Ah dear.
And i thought that I was the one with the mental illness ?
corkcelt,
don`t boycott. Just keep talking Celtic! :-)
A vignette from c 84/85 when the Celtic End was done up at CP.
There were new toilets built and the sign Gents had the A whitewashed out. Ol Des had ordered too many Agents signs (in those days Celtic Pools Agents were allowed in free or at a reduced rate at special gates)and decided to use them for the bogs with the A blanked out. That was the Des standard or bog standard if you will. I used to live near Desmond in Newton Mearns so many stories…….
Given a choice of playing Paddy McCourt or one of ther young bhoys, I’ll go for one of the bhoys all the time. Paddy has had his chance and its time for him to move on. a shame as he couldabeen a contender, but only he knows why he is wasting/has wasted his god given talents
timing is everything

Thats my feeling Mc….Mjallby, Legal guys are a different breed to the rest of us. I honestly think the FTT result makes it MORE likely that Nimmo will shaft them. Now I’ve just broken my own Boycott and mentioned FTT. Looking forward to game to-morrow hope Lenny “really” freshens things up this time. My preferred team
FF Lustig, Vic, Rogne, Matthews, Kayal, McGeouch, Brooney, Paddy, Watt & either Miku or Lassad. However I expect the front two to be Hoops & Watt as Lenny will want Hoops to get game time to try & get him up to speed for Spartak game.
Paul67 et al
I think I can state without any fear of contradiction that the FTT ruling is a bogus sham!

greenjedi,
have to admit that Paddy now plays very deep and I`ve lost some confidence in him.
There,there,lads.
Kev and I have kissed and made up.
I’m away to wash my mouth out,think I need some alcohol after CHE mentioning Ardrosssan-cheers for that low blow,buddy!
I think it might be a real sham.
Is it not about time for a remake of ‘The Quiet Man’?
Adapted screenplay and direction by Terry George (Academy Award winner this year for the short film ‘The shore’, and previously nominated for ‘In the name of the father’ and ‘Hotel Rwanda’.
A good Tim as well – and a cousin of our own Paul George!

I ain’t gonna spar with you. My Latin isn’t up to it. Although I can say ‘beer’ in a number of languages. Beyond that I struggle.

news just in Comerç 24. another wee gaff I suggested for those venturing to Barcelona worth checking out has now been awarded una estrella from the slow of the mark folks at Michelin. For the enlightend who were lucky enough to try my recommendations in Barcelona Gaig and Koyshunka have also been awarded a star. Hope you all got in there at the time as the prices just went up.

Only 16 at CP and that’s with concerted hassle by the polis
And only 16 at Zombrox …with acquiescence by the polis in their abhorrent repertoire
They’ve really had to work hard for parity …going by recent anecdotal evidence the polis seem intend on making us the leaders

Good man-keep up the typos and confuse hunmedia.
I’ve just read that magnus opus by ‘brth’ re. the fttt and it is just as I thought. None of what happened to Suicide F.C. need have happened. But it did. Matters not a jot about the outcome of the byzantine tax case, they is where they is, ruined, shattered, and a tribute act of themselves, much like The Strolling Bones being a caricature of the great rock ‘n’ roll band that produced ‘Sympathy for The Devil’ etc.,.
Now they languish under the lash of a vulture capitalist from Angleterre, and the stewardship of a once great player ( for them alone ) turned corpulent comedian with a very nasty streak, play in the nether regions of a small country’s footballing orbit, and are perceived more and more for the vociferous anachronistic bigots they are, having been sussed by the msm Sarf of the Bordah. That’s what you get for trashing cities and then screaming about how hard done by you are.
So there they are, still being puffed up by their tame presstitutes and lauded by the luj loyal wherever they congregate.
And what makes it all so laughable?
It need never have happened at all. None of it.
All they had to do was to be honest. Unfortunately, for them, they are strangers to the truth and honesty is for mugs.
Look where THAT’s got them.
How stupid can you be?

He was not one of my favourites.
However, he had the guts to do something that would be unthinkable from the present lot.
In the aftermath of a Cliftonville v Celtic friendly, he unequivocally described the UDR in unwanted attendanceas behaving akin to the riot Police in the Gdansk shipyards.
Compare thiis with current reticence on Green Brigade issue.
Alan Brazil in today’s Mail, referring ton the Barca game. Nice to see a former Celt (even though it was Celtic Boys Club) not forgetting his roots!
‘I was gutted to miss the game but it was maybe a blessing in disguise I wasn’t there because forget Rod Stewart — I was crying before the game.
‘I watched it in the house with my youngest daughter Stephanie. She’s 21, and she has an interview at Cambridge University next week. She wants to be a doctor and she was up studying in her room but I got her down and told her “come and watch Celtic. This is where I come from. This is what I’m about”.
‘When the fans were singing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ we turned the volume up and I thought my eardrums were going to burst.
‘It was so emotional I was crying and I wept tears of joy again at full-time. It really was quite incredible and Lenny is unlikely to top it in his whole management career.
‘But making the knockouts would come close and I really hope he makes the miracle happen.
‘They’ve every chance of doing it, too. For Celtic fans the dream goes on, and City and Chelsea fans can only look on in envy.’
BRTH
Once again I bow to your insight and intellect. I’m glad we’re on the same side.
Hail Hail,

But not an orchestrated one!
Well said that mhan!
Alan Brazil of course!

Those figures are relatively meaningless as they merely note police activity not actual convictions. Where are the law breaking figures?

Was the wee tax case a baby sham?

Quality, quality comment – and at Friday teatime as well! I’ll use that tonight in the pub, if that’s ok.

I’m slightly confused why I’m included in the post. Of course, these days I’m often confused. :>)
And the big tax case shampagne
Cathedral/PFAyr – Catholics were victims 60% of the time, despite being 19% of the population.

Ace!

Are you Des Whyte ?
” .. Chelsea fans can only look on in envy.”
That’s a real Celt. Having a wee dig at the blue Londoners.
