Neil Lennon did us all a favour yesterday by dismissing rumours that he was targeting a striker from Vitoria Guimaraes as nonsense this early in the transfer window. The guidelines are set for your summer ahead. As well as being nonsense, though, it is also profitable news fodder; just think of the amount of advertising which has been wrapped around this story.
What does this teach us? I reckon that the least informed contributions left on the CQN comments page are about as reliable as what passes for mainstream ‘news’. There is a good possibility that even the player didn’t know Celtic’s position on him until it was reported yesterday.
Celtic will be trailing up to 30 players at any point in time, all of whom will have passed one level of scrutiny, but at least 20 of whom would never pass all levels, even if a deal was possible. When players are being scrutinised the position of the club will always be to show courteous interest in proceedings. You and I know what this really amounts to.

He’s not only leaving the sunk sinking ship, he’s not going to flush!
He’s selling the carcass for scrap and leaving the dignified cardigan to repay the EBT he got…when he wasn’t an employee!
As for the pastry mutterer, he made a quality, high grossing movie involving, amongst others, Jabba and Hugh Dallas…..no way was that a tax dodge!

Doc is right but you can also download from one of the buttons at the top left.
I still suspect people on here aren’t using the buttons around the magazine – top and bottom to get the most from the magazine. Indeed you can also download all the back issues and also all the various little documents that we have kept just in case we need them…Try it on Friday!

allright bud.
ive had one trip to belfast in my whole life which was couple of years ago, after i went to a funeral in Drumquinn, and on the way back with a few hours to spare till the flight i went to Falls road and walked about for a while.
i didnt know what to expect, but within a few hundred paces, had allready seen many graves with families the same as peoples names i recognise at home. exact same names as people i knew.
duffys and obriens, and brian campbell and a clark, and a John O’Donnell, and a few higgins (right inside the gate), i dont know if its disrespectful to take pictures but i did,
i will go back sometime,
well done to your nephew.

Does anybody know if we have any coaches watching youth players in Africa?
Reason being is that they do seem to be producing some good hungry players.
Could be cheap as well.

Would like to buy, and would happily pre- order if can be delivered by Saturday.
As stated like to read from magazine, letting others know what we are.
Never know may even meet some fellow CQNrs through this method
Thanks for response
Hail Hail
Cowiebhoy – magazine is free to read – the best bits will be in the CQN Annual which we will have to start thinking about!
celticrollercoaster
If you email celticquicknews@gmail.com I can send you some of the older ones from last year (free of charge). To buy the recent ones in print – you need to buy from magcloud.com but it is very expensive as the magazine has double the pages these days – best to wait for the Annual or print.
newradbhoy, I’m responding to you just so you know you are not alone but re your question, I simply don’t know. I doubt if we would have anyone formally employed but their might be some loose network of contacts that would keep us informed.

Saint stivs, its an anagram of carnoustie golfer.
BTW, i took your advice re the celtic onesie. I got one for the bhoy too. Great attire and a real head turner in downtown bannockburn.
——————————-
it wanst my advice bud, it was an idea i wasnt brave enough to do, and i admire your ifanadiglibilty (cc george galloway) for going ahead.
in fact i think your perfermance was brilliant, and i also had some peeps tell me they saw a guy and his bhoy in onesies.
are you from carnoustie ? i had a magic week up there last year in a rented hoose on i think ireland street , i wlaked the course , i can see why people get hooked on golf.
just not me.
keep it/her lit.

Got it – ‘long-hauls’ are dangerous – one hiccup and you end up questioning why you didn’t do 9 from 10 etc etc. Few ‘tickly’ ones this weekend.
Fancy the Aussies to do the Poms in at least one Test Match this summer – but which one? :-)
I know kojo you say you can just skip past your posts but it takes a long time. Can you not just make your point ? My life is too short as it is. :(
Could he not just swop email addresses with his alter ego and send them back and forth? Would free up a lot of space. Makes sense to me….

Just as well you didn’t start posting that before midnight – otherwise it would have been a ‘Jam tomorrow’ tale! :-)

Aye, I know, but, and always the but, have done better with the international games so far thsi season, much better in fact.
If one goes down, Mrs Tet will say….why didn’t you leave that team out, brains to burn so she has, and her logic is logic.
As I said, nothing ventured, it’s their money.
And it’s no going to break any bank.
Cricket, wouldn’t have a scooby.
Golf, if you are interested I will send you my son in laws predictions, he does rather well, keeps me floating above the water line anyways.

i tried that anagram app, bloody brilliant it is
i put in
“do you know a handsome hun”

“no there is not one”
i am sure it missed some letters going to ask carol and rachel to adjudicate.
