Straight from the off on Saturday you knew this would be a more accomplished Celtic performance than our last league outing against Dundee. Brown and Bitton in central mid, with Charlie Mulgrew partnering Erik Sviatchenko in central defence.
Charlie is at the back end of his career but you know you are getting a seasoned SPL pro, who is going to clear his lines, attack the ball, and not try to be Beckenbauer (i.e. he’d rather not attempt a 20 yard pass than risk misplacing one). I’ve liked the look of Erik since he’s arrived, our clean sheet count has improved immeasurably, but the Dane was culpable at the Thistle penalty. He was turned, then put his arm around his opponent’s waist. A nailed-on penalty which could have cost us in different circumstances.
I loved Kilmarnock striker Josh Magennis’ comments after his teams’ defeat at Pittodrie: “We can do Aberdeen a favour next week by beating Celtic, we haven’t lost in our two games against them this season.”
Pin it to the dressing room wall at Lennoxtown, Ronny. We battered Kilmarnock last time out, creating 20 attempts but couldn’t convert, and we let them off the hook earlier in the season at Rugby Park by conceding a late penalty. No mistakes this time.

That may or may not be true. Time will tell, but in the meantime , £6 off at Kilmarnock with Celtic PLC taking the cost. Philistines or Philanthropists?

Considering CQN is a mere dot in the Celtic world… those supposedly sowing dissent, wont reach many.
However, lets just blame Celtic supporters eh.
What a cheek they have got to complain eh.
We should consider ourselves lucky that the PLC dont bar us all.
Who are we to question the sainted PLC eh.
Us only being mere Celtic supporters, what would we know eh?
Well probably a lot more about being straight up and not being full of S*** like the PLC.
I dont believe a single word they utter….thats when they come out of hiding of course.
They are bogus and are misleading Celtic supporters .
Id prefer people that were honest running Celtic…not the bunch of selfish, greedy reptiles currently swimming in the gravy.
Get them out, every one of them.
I know you wont agree:)

And i just like to add….if it wasnt for moaning Celtic supporters.
We would still be run by the biscuit-tin mob, from Cambuslang.
This current board are toe-rags to put it mildly, the kind of people who would sell their own grannies.
They will say and do anything to consolidate their own personal enrichment.
Like looking the other way, while the huns cheat us.
I cant condone that greed….its disgusting.
Anybody that will condone cheating for profit….deserves nothing but contempt.
And that is exactly what they will get.
A Celtic board hated by their own supporters.
Thats DD’s and PL’s Legacy.

THE GREEN MAN SAYS SACK THE BOARD on 15TH MARCH 2016 1:03 AM
Macjay
When I have chapter and verse PROOF that our Board are as conniving and self serving as you say , then I`ll be on board.
What is difficult to understand is why you would continue to support an organisation run by people like that.
MacJay
I dont support the ‘Organisation’…btw an apt choice of word.
I support the team…Celtic.
Not the idiot PLC that run the show.
Im being serious here….Ive met Murderers more trustworthy than the bonus sick degenerates on our board.
DD, Bankier, Livingston.
Cmon now….i know what they are about, and so should you…you know whats what.
Dont take my word for it.
Do some research yourself.

==========================================================================
Neither.
Good Celtic supporters attempting to make a success of their responsibilities in what is a hostile environment…………….The last thing they need is having to cop the hostility of our own.
A house divided.
Incidentally,you may have noticed the blindingly predicable response by major firms to the introduction of the ” living wage.”
Lay offs.
Macjay
There is a difference between a PR version of the truth, and the real thing.
Its never wise to believe official spokesmen, for any organisation.
If you take two minutes to realise what PR is about.
We have spoke about this before.
Edward Bernays…Marshall Mcluhan.
Dont take my word for it….but its so obvious, im amazed they get away with it.
Its childs play, when people dont ask questions.
You see my point?

The Green Man says SACK THE Board on 15th March 2016 1:39 am
I`d love to take your word for it. :-)
The difference is that I can`t split Celtic into different parts..
For me they are all part of the one whole.
On the other hand ,I have to accept that while I support Celtic , I certainly don`t support the continuation of Deila as coach.
But in that case , I do have the evidence of my own eyes .

The Green Man says SACK THE Board on 15th March 2016 1:52 am
Since I first discovered C.Q.N. , I have been astonished at the level of anti-Board invective.
Upside down banners directed at the Chairman John Reid ,the booing of “the bunnet “.
I just think that the whole thing is counter productive.
You mention P.R.
I listen to none of that because ,in fact , I haven`t heard any.
Another thing the Board are condemned for.
No news. No statements.
No. I just don`t get it .
Unless ,of course , it is the ongoing references to Tories.
That would explain a lot.
The Donald (and other monikers)
I usually scroll on by the trolls, but since everyone is asleep a serious question.
How can you possibly have so much time on your hands for all the drivel you relentlessly post.
And even more to the point, why bother? Life is so short to begin with.
Why not devote your time to building something worthy rather than making yourself miserable on a blog you obviously detest?

Its clear to me.
That say on 9/11 for example.
You can have the George W Bush version….or the version where experts on explosives and finance come to a more credible explanation.
The answers are right there….if we choose to look.

Paul has requested that we avoid personal abuse.
A reasonable request.
MacJay
I dont think you should be surprised that Celtic supporters had contempt for John Reid, considering the things he supported and condoned.
I also understand why Celtic dont trust Celtic boards…thats not difficult.
The board cannot divorce themselves from the things they choose to do.
They are responsible.
I never took the choice to employ Warmongers or Tories….the board chose to do that.
They didnt ask me what i thought….how about you?
No…they choose to employ these dodgy people….so, why would they do that then i wonder.
Really…its transparent, and despicable.
I wont have the deaths of thousands through war and tory hatred on my conscience, neither will you
But the board will.
Im not pulling my punches, because what im saying is right.

Just watching your 9/11 video.
Incidentally I hold no candle for George Bush.
MacJay
Simple point which im sure you will get.
We must keep asking questions…about everything.
I see you as a brother from Oz….We are Celtic….not the board.
Never forget that.
Im offski,…enjoy that vid.

The Kellys and Whites were stuck in an old world mentality. Not their fault. Simple tradition was their undoing.
Murray and his Charlotte Square crowd (who, we miraculously hear nothing of in the MSM) were a new breed who destroyed the market in their quest to dominate it.Typical Thatcher frreemarket operators with inside help.
Fergus understood what he had to do and how quickly he had to do this unforgiving task.And how profitable it could be. I have no problem with his salvation. Thats what it was…A brief respite….
The current PLC are not dissimiliar from Murray and his cohorts. Bankers who know how the world works. Just more skilled and worldly. DD served his apprenticeship in Kabul under occupation of the Soviets for gods sake. The last few years have witnessed the amateur Freemasons wilt and the seniors survive, in the banking world.
It is my guess that as supporters our club has went from being led by weak traditionalists, to 21st century modernists who know which way the world is heading…. Ironically.
But hey just an opinion. based upon….The Silence from all Quarters, and the old Divide and Rule…And the Banking Shennanigins that went unpunished since 2008, and will revisit us soon enough.
But hey…. DD is an Irishman. So Bless Him. He is one of us.
So lets argue about nonsense…We seem happy to be preoccupied with that.
Night Night
Don’t let the Bankers Bite…(again)

“Good Celtic supporters attempting to make a success of their responsibilities in what is a hostile environment…………….The last thing they need is having to cop the hostility of our own.”

The majority of our current board would have struggled to spell Celtic before being employed by the club.
‘Good Celtic supporters’?
Self serving parasites.
Good morning friends from a totally still, dry, cloudy but pleasant enough looking East Kilbride.
I said I would update the blog to let you know what happened regarding the complaint I raised about the local hun club singing The BBs after the game against Dundee.
I forwarded my complaint to the local council who said they would follow it up etc….
I thought that would be the end of it (years of experience kicking in….) but no, I was wrong.
I just got an email back from the local council that stated that the host social club (who have the extreme lack of taste to permit the huns to use their facilities) will be raising the matter with the hun FC supporters club to request that they refrain from such anti-social behaviour.
OK, I know we are talking about troglodytes here but at least the council and host social club appear to have taken the matter seriously.
MR PASTRY
Why,thank you,kind sir.
And in the same vein,who’s pulling your strings,ya muppet?
MEA CULPA
A start,mate. And a good one.
Any reduction in football tickets for our fans must surely be welcomed. No matter the reasoning.
A. £6 deduction for some of our fans on the minimum wage , even the living wage or average wage is a big deal.
I wonder when we argue for the living wage for Celtic employees if it is just a political soundbite. Because £6 off each ticket, especially for family groups on average incomes should never be dismissed so flippantly.
Especially on the alter of political infighting.
Hail, Hail.

Sunday 15th
Frank has now joined me on the hunger-strike. I saw the boys at Mass today which I enjoyed. Fr Toner said Mass.
Again it was a pretty boring day. I had a bit of trouble to get slopped out tonight and to get water.
I have a visit tomorrow and it will be good to see my family. I am also looking forward to the walk in the fresh air, it will tire me out, but I hope the weather is good. I must go.
Good morning CQN
If only we had real fan engagement at Celtic and Scottish football, if only we could move the debate on from look there’s a squirrel
The Bundesliga may not be the world’s most profitable football league but it’s engagement with fans is among the very best in the world and that’s because their clubs realise that sport is a specific kind of entertainment business.
Attendances at matches continue to eclipse those of the English Premier League, even when performances suffer. Bottom-side Hannover are still averaging 40,077 per game, nearly 6,000 more than Aston Villa.
Part of the reason for this acknowledgement of fans could be put down to the 51 per cent rule, which states that members of a club must own at least 51 per cent of the shares, aside from a few exceptions like Bayer Leverkusen.
Of course it can be rightfully argued that this rule is what prevents the Bundesliga from matching the Premier League financially, but in Germany it seems the priority is not profit.

Looks like you missed the 4.10 at Cheltenham on your horsey selections
What a superb investigative journalistic job done on land ownership
fascinating reading

I know it could be absolute nonsense but are we looking to add Aberdeen full back Shay Logan to the squad ? Just seen it on twitter
Difficulty to post my selections on the last article.

Morning Bhoys I see we are being investigated for singing offensive songs by the SPL this was at the Hamilton game.Now I have worked out how we can sing offensive songs at any match for the full game and have no problems altogether now lets sing we are the Billy Bhoys were up to our knees in – – – – – – – – – – -. H.H.
I see some of the worst Celtic fans I have seen,on the best Celtic forum are at it again.Shevatchenko is poor,this after a handful of games.He joins Simunovic who has also been judged by these experts in all things football.And as for that Celtic,taking 6 quid off away fans tickets,rubbish.
