The day after the opening Champions League qualifier of the season can get a bit tasty on the blog but business has been pedestrian since last night’s professional performance by the men in hoops. If you wanted to be pushy, you could point to a couple of glimpses of goal which fell Cliftonville’s way as a result of Celtic defenders being dragged out of position, but that’s about the measure of an unfamiliar defence at any time.
Congratulations to Georgios Samaras, who scored in Celtic’s first five European away games last season and obliged again yesterday. A remarkable record for a player who is never employed as a penalty box striker.
It would also be tardy not to congratulate Celtic and Cliftonville supporters on their exemplary behaviour throughout the day. After recent disturbances in Belfast there were fears that a group of travelling Celtic supporters could find trouble in the city but the casual observer could be forgiven if he thought we were in Seville again.
Maybe Belfast council should invite us over every July to spread a bit of cheer. We do football very well, in all respects.
Neil Lennon can now kick back and relax with a formality of a second and the next round not for another…. 12 days!! Maybe not. 12 days is not a lot of time to do anything in football, so every day, including match day against Cliftonville, will need to be meticulously planned to ensure we are ready to face an opponent who could well be midseason. Relax, and you’re finished in this business.

Apologies all round.

Well done St Johnstone – 7/1 over here to win tonight.
Had €250 on them!
HH!!
Talking about the trolls only tends to feed it IMO
JIMBO67
A man of impeccable taste.
Make that two,barman!
Pretty sure ACGR waxes lyrical about it too so best get them in early if the dram machine is around!

Completely useless fact
I have never seen The Quiet Man. But I do know who Squire Danaher was.

PUT HIS NAME IN THE BOOK!!!!
I thought that absolutely everyone had seen ‘The Quiet Man?’
Several times.
HH!!
Good Stuff tonight, Well done St Johnstone and fair play to Hibs as well 2 down after 13 minutes looking at a hammering but held it at that, giving themselves a chance. P.S. Derry have pulled a goal back against Tr err the Turkish team.
Even a 2nd goal, I’m an extremely slow poster.
TALLYBHOY
Key moment around the corner!
Fingers crossed,bud.
Jimbo67. I can’t agree. I suspect as with all schizos the tsd character is merely a method for the kojo character to spill the worst of his bile.

Just one of those weird things – Ford directed Wayne in some of my favourite films, great supporting cast, mum and dad liked it . Just never seen it.

Interesting idea – can I just say I do hope you are wrong.
Jimbo
When’s the next CQN gathering,and is it an open invitation?
Edwardburns5
Not sure if it is really Kojo but I think you are on the right track.
I do get the feeling that he is an alter ego of a different poster though
Toasting in Turkiye distinct lack of sevconians in this wee town,

Just checked the oul racing results I see Mr Goldie was true to his word this time, owed us after putting us away last month.
There was a wild colonial bhoy……
One thing is for definite though.
He is a dick
I can vouch safe for the Laphroig quarter cask as well as the PX cask:) but Glenfarclas 105 still my favorite:0)I haven’t tried any of ACGR’s special blend bottles but next time i’m hame i hope to try some.

Sorry for the delay in replying, was out walking the dugs. Roasting hot here, +27 at the door. Yes very sober, but, will be having a wee yin once the chooks, ducks and geese are fed and bedded down for the night. Their hut is so hot I bet they think it’s an oven!!! And please, don’t start the chicken, duck or goose jokes and puns again. Lol

Sure to be a few before then,but I’m hoping one or two of the crew will join me on 28/9,central Glasgow.
Details nearer the time,and it will be great if you can make it!
Just popped in to say
Well done Celtic for a professional performance last night
Thought
BK broke play up well but his passing needs work
SB mixed it well and looked positive
ML good goal and shift
KC could have scored a blinder and another few things just failed to come off for him .
JF positive throughout and a bit of focus and less panic when the goals in sight and he will be a real threat .
GS been a critic so often of the big man ,only because of his undoubted ability and failing to impose such on the SPL .must say I think the big man is now enjoying his football at Celtic and it is showing .
FF Big man is where he needs to be to improve his all round game.Some great stops already in the pre season games (couple of howlers ) looked to come more for crosses last night but can the stewards make sure the guy in the crowd with the Sammi mask on sits behind the goals in future as he is playing havoc with big FFs kick outs.
AS was bursting for a goal but never stopped running .
Big Billy Ocean strolled it
Saw a bit of young Rogic and this bhoy has bags of ability ,bags of it .A few posters were asking about Faddy but this bhoy fills that berth IMO .
New season started and the stench of corruption still 2 seasons away .what’s not to like
BMCUW
Hopefully I’ll make it as well but does it clash with a game?
TORONTONY
GLENFARCLAS is joooost peachy….
I remember,well,not very much,as a bottle was involved!
ACGR’s bespokes and curiosities are something else-definitely got the WOW factor.
How’s the site’s own SSM?
BMCUW,
cheers for the info,will look out for details nearer the time,be good to put some faces to blog names
Valentinesday
I have just put my new hairshirt on!

A working man’s reward awaits-the winding down glass of yer favourite tipple!
Pity you’ve banned the chicken-farm jokes. I’ve got a battery of them….
Glad to hear all the bhoys who travelled over for the game enjoyed themselves and made it a party atmosphere ,that is the good side of football and brings people together ,not all the peepil have realised it yet but give them time
