Reason to enjoy Wednesday night number 67: Victor Wanyama didn’t get booked.
21-year-old Victor is a fabulous talent but he has also been a tad rash in his earlier Champions League outings this season. One more yellow card will bring a suspension but his timing, and more importantly, his concentration, on Wednesday was excellent. This is a player maturing; more to come.
The 1254125 charity cycle left Lurgan this morning for Belfast port where they caught a ferry to Cairnryan. After they set wheel on Scotland they have a 37 mile cycle to Maybole, 7 miles of which is uphill, one of the most difficult parts of the endeavour.
They are people with the spirit of this club pumping through their veins right now. Check out their everyclick page for more information.

Our victory against Barca shows how much
the Govan Hillbillies had been keeping us back over the years.
We are better and stronger without them.
Was up Aberdeenshire way
on Friday,
Ended up driving through
a village called Masons lodge ..
It made me smile ,shake
my head and have a wee
laugh …
Fekin Scotland eh!!
nakas
we ate in the Tapas next to O’neils, also there at about 3pm..
got a call at 7.25 to say there was a ticket… my reply would have be banned for life from this site…
needless to say the original holy goalie is off the christmas card list…
Regarding displays.
I believe there was a display at SevcoFC’s home match today.
I don’t think it’s going to attract in any way the publicity we did with ours.
I believe that the Scottish papers will publish pics of it, shockeroony, but I get the feeling that the propaganda machine at the rats lair was looking for something a bit more than that today.
After Wednesday, anything less than a national audience will be seen as a failure.
We’ve mentioned Sky sports and Jeff Stelling etc.
Add Chris Evans radio show and Graham Norton with Rod, God bless him.
Football Focus today especially with Peter Reid.
Soccer Am as well.
All the major news outlets in the UK and Europe.
It was also on some sports shows in the States.
Added to all this you have the online media outlets.
You couldn’t buy all the positivity generated towards our club since Wed night.
They know it and they’re hurting badly.
But tomorrow they believe they will have their day of revenge.
They’ll want to point their grubby fingers in our direction and shout from the rooftops if they sense anything that sounds amiss to them. Remember Falkirk a few years ago with the cameras and microphones aimed at the people coming into the game?
I don’t want to add to the exhausted p**** debate, I just hope we can get through tomorrow without loading their bullets for them.

Hee hee ;-)
Mailonline say James is from Londonderry; says it all really..o((
I am sure our church tomorrow will pay our respects to the war dead..

Was wondering where you were. Have watched it twice and Jeff Stelling, John Collins, Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp were fantastic and fulsome in their praise for us, something that we don’t see from he MSM here, even read French and Spanish newspapers were brilliant. You talking to the Holy Goalie yet?
nope…
Was at Mass tonight and prayed for all my dead.
Thanks for links to the game guys.
Anyone got an injury update for the game tomorrow, Sammi, Broony and Hooper out?
HH
I wonder if Victor had any family that fought with Mau Mau against the Brits??
bt,
That list of people your no talking too is getting bigger, maybe want to think about a vow of silence :oD)))

Went to vigil at 6 and the homily was about remembrance and the futility of war.

paddysmarket, show your respect and be proud in what you believe, just don’t measure our support on what the meeja in Scotland decide what is acceptable behaviour.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I will be respectful and humbled, but one thing I will never do is take notice
of the Scottish media or whatever they call themselves.
Save you a lot of time with the falling out bit
canamalar
shut it you…. o))
HT
father Lamb will have the ole butchers apron on the alter tomorrow I imagine..
paddysmarket,
Why fear them then ?
Fellow Celtic supporters don’t feel the same, that’s it, they should be given the same respect and freedom.

According to Fandy (Pinocchio) Sardine, the blue nose moothpiece
the attendance at Ibrox today was 185,000.
Their pre match entertainment was the greatest
dramatic event in living memory,
and Peterhead were a far better team
that Barcelona and Real Madrid combined.

Can see you setting up Blantyre Quick News…….. Wae canalamar, HT and me the only ones posting!
But the Londonderry-born Republic of Ireland international asked to wear his usual shirt when he was recalled by Sunderland manager Martin O’Neill for today’s clash at Goodison.
Sunderland manager Martin O’Neill, who was also born and brought up in Londonderry, and played for Northern Ireland, wore a poppy on his post-match suit but did not wear one on his training kit during the defeat for Sunderland, who have still not won at Goodison since 1996.
Mail online
The Somme,extract from an article written by a Sergeant Tawney who took part.
the beastliest thing in war, the damnable frivolity. One’s like a merry, mischievous ape tearing up the image of God. When I read now the babble of journalists about the “sporting spirit of our soldiers”, it makes me almost sick. God forgive us all! But then it was as I say.
bt
That should cos a rack it. o)
have lurked tonight but my two pence worth on the poppy debate
my 2 great uncles died during WW2 and my grandfather received an injury that debilitated him after the war, my mother said the poppy collection was for commemoration of war dead. I respected this
however this changed when british legion moved the goalposts and soldiers who died in the northern ireland conflict were commemorated , her view was if british government recognised their was a war then prisoners should have been treated as such and soldiers who attacked citizens as in bloddy sunday should be tried for war crimes.
I attended the SDLP conference this weekend and the PAT FINNUCANE centre performed a play which included two SDLP members whose loved ones had been killed by ex soldiers with collusion from the ruc/udr , the amount of soldiers implicated in documents released under FOI’s was shocking (transcripts of the play I have and can assure you all it is truly awful)
For these reaasons I will not wear a poppy , I will be at Celtic Park tomorrow but will not take my seat until after , why??? because I will not besmirch the name of Celtic
bit imo the poppy now represents something completely different from that which it was originally designed and for that reason it should be consigned to the bin

I’ve been off cqn for most of the week so nothing to do with me big chap..
I’m sure ole crabbit Tony would post also though.. o)0
That bhoy can crabbit for Scotland, you going tomorrow?
bt,
So you’ve been in a huff all week :oD))))
Reading back,
i think this sacred blog would benefit from a week long maintainence shutdown at this time of year.
nothing so devisive as the annual poppy debate.
working in mickey masons…
WE were fed some horrendous stories abt what the Mau Mau did to the brits in Kenya. Attacked and cut up with machetes burned out their “homes” etc. But very few abt how bullet s killed women and children for years and years b4 the Kenyan people fought back.
HH..
Remembrance Day for me is a time to reflect on all dead people. Regardless of where or how they died.
Somewhere a few yrs ago, roundabout the time of the death of Diana Of Wales, it became obligatory to be seen to mourn.
Witness the placing of flowers etc often covered by media and the horrific interviewing of recently bereaved people on tv for no other reason than ” it makes tv”..
I don’t think so.
We should not be forced to grieve in a certain way..
I never wear a poppy.
For no other reason than .. I do my grieving in my head. Every day ..
Like many of us.
NO ONE, escapes tragedy . We all know it.. Many share it on CQN.. We are touched by it and supported when we need it..
Our approach should always be quiet,respectful, grateful. We don’t need to wear or display any symbols.. Not in this writers mind.
Just show it the respect, which we do..
It’s horrific the way we appear to have been set up as a Celtic family. If there’s a cough we re somehow not respectful..
BOLLOCKS.
This is MSM manipulation. The Celtic tradition is borne out of a spiritual rock. It’s founded on sympathy, care, respect, compassion for ALL. Unlike some clubs.
We DO pay our respects to all the dead..
Poppies don’t bring dead people back. Sadly nor do flowers or tears.
Quietly reflecting on our own mortality and the way WE would wish to be remembered, is a fine way to pay tribute to all those gone before us.
Leave the flowers, the need to be SEEN to show the right level of grief..
Quiet, mature reflection for all people dead and those grieving is what Nov 11 should be about.
It is in my house..
The first person I think of is ALWAYS my dad.
He was not involved in any conflict..
The media need to grow up and grow a pair of Cajons and start to leave the Hollywood grieving hype alone..
Celtic supporters are always respectful.
We lost John Thomson and Johnny Doyle, Jock Stein and Tommy Burns and many more whilst still actively involved in our beloved club. We know grief.
We are respectful.
Can the media just back off and let us grieve alone. Privately. As a club.
Why not turn cameras and recorders off ?
Surely running them during a silence is disrespectful?
Celtic supporters are the greatest..
We don’t care what the media hype or say..
Leave us to grieve alone.

BBC Director General George Entwistle has resigned stating that all journalistic matters are ultimately his responsibility.
Campbell Ogilivie has tweeted that George had to go for the sake of all that is decent in public life.

Re the Poppy debate, I think PL should request the SPL to have us play on the Saturday before R Sunday. How come the zombies love the propaganda, yet they play on the Saturday. This is a stitch up to have a dig at us, and we should put a stop to it pronto.
Would’nt a minute applause be more apt?
Get it sorted Peter.
HH
Re minutes silence tomorrow, why is it not a minutes applause……
Makes sense tae me.
