It has all worked out for Brendan Rodgers. He could have fallen on his face at Leicester, instead, he sits second in the league, above Pep the Perfect, and is talked about for jobs in Manchester and North London. As far as career development moves go, you have to hand it to him. His next contract, which will come soon, is likely to be four times his rate at Celtic.
None of this justifies what he did. Not the problems of his own creation in August last year, when he jeopardised our Champions League qualification efforts to create a faux exit narrative, nor leaving us with indiscreet haste, two days before a Premiership visit to Tynecastle and a weekend Scottish Cup-tie at Easter Road. The move was right for him, which is all that mattered.
Maybe I’ve seen too many of them come and go to be bothered by it anymore. Jock Stein knocked back Manchester United to remain at Celtic, but they are all careerists now, all of them. It takes more than talent to make it to the top of the game. You also need incredible commitment and a level of self-sacrifice that only comes if you are motivated to achieve personal success. You will not go through the daily pain of training until your lungs burn and your body aches for thousands of people you may never meet, and who will occasionally shout abuse at you.
Yesterday he spoke to the press about his exit from Celtic. I am happy to listen to his story but it is clearly too soon for him to be frank. I’ll listen when he tells us why he was happy to throw away our Champions League qualification campaign to engineer an exit.

I get pulled up by my daughter all the time for saying ‘ it was a crap band in the 90s’ or ‘a pish movie in the 80s’.
In your opinion! Says she👍
If John Kennedy leaves for the Hibs job, who is going to spy for PL in the dressing room? :-
Just found out about an insult , popular amongst Millennials, against my generation.
It is the dismissive “OK Boomer!” as evidenced in this clip.
NZ Parliament
Just one thought occurs to me. Which generation was it that taught the millennials about global warming etc;? Do they think they wrote the internet by themselves?
Rodgers, a rat, nothing more and nothing less.
We owe the lowlife nothing, he owes us everything.

Brendan had a few decent results in Europe and was brilliant domestically but we had some pastings in Europe…he’s not a Celtic man he’s a Brendan man…we lapped up what he had to say because we thought he was one of us..he’s not and we are not one of his. His Danny McGrain quote showed his true colours…Fraudgers..we love Celtic…Brendan loves himself classic narcissist 🍀🍀🍀

Brilliant, and oh so true. Some films never age.

Why does Paul think we should be arsed about Rodgers now and whatever he says about leaving us.
The benefits of Rodgers’ regime are still apparent.
He brought with him a professional team who made us invest in sports fitness and dietary sciences.
The legacy of the investment remains and is vital in ensuring our players are fit mentally and physically for a demanding league and cup programme.
We outlasted Lazio over two games when we looked, fitter and faster in the closing minutes.
Of course a late goal helped lift us.
I also think the team has much more self belief and now with Neil we can see a pride in the club and a willingness and desire to give it all for the jersey.

I was accused of being a boomer by my daughter this week. I pointed out that I was Gen X who invented punk, indie, new wave and were delivered equality and voted Labour and supported unions
She replied that everyone before Millennial but not her grandparents (who are cool) are Boomers🙄

Brendan could sell ice to an Eskimo. I fell for it, up until the news broke that he was on his way to Leicester for talks, I was adamant to my friends that he was a Celtic man and would be going nowhere.
I suspect that Brendan’s outlook on his profession may have helped shape KT’s attitude when his opportunity came along.
I don’t listen to Rodgers’ interviews, I always skip on down Celtic News Now when I see Rodgers articles. I’ve had enough listening to his self serving narratives.
The same for KT, McGinn and McCarthy, all in recent weeks speaking of their love for Celtic. Give it a rest guys and enjoy your millions.
THE Celtic Ticket Office counter service will be amending their opening hours as of Tuesday, November 19, with tickets still available to buy online 24/7 and the booking line still open.
The new opening hours will operate as follows:
Monday-Friday: 11am – 2pm
Midweek matchday: 11am – Kick-off
Saturday matchday: 10.30am – Kick-off
Sunday matchday: 10.30am – Kick-off
Supporters can still buy tickets for all matches online 24 hours, seven days a week on our eticketing page and make use of the My Celtic Network.
On the subject of *I leave people rodgers*- new wangers are playing well. They are playing well domestically and in Europe. They are a good spfl team. They will play well all season. They are not a great team. Their squad is not as good as ours. However, if we repeat a BR style lapse in away form and momentum this season, we will lose the league. We will have to win almost all games this season to get 9iar. Their January transfer window will not make much difference to this. Ours will. Their squad has improved slightly, Stevie gansta has improved and the refs are not reffing them. We will need all the quality we can get in Jan!

What a lot of revisionist pish, simply reinforcing the Plc narrative but why now, is there something in the pipeline from BR, will he be ending his silence on the details, has he already in a documentary interview?
I predicted every step of the way for BRs Celtic career and every prediction came true, it was all based on the previous PL management and ego issues, Res12 dealings with PL prove he cannot he trusted simple as that.
I predicted BR would not be supported in team building or player recruitment, after season one he learned that the hard way.
I predicted his efforts to improve and recruit players would be further thwarted by PL wrestling more control back from the manager would see animosity develop as PLs ego cannot take playing second fiddle to managers, he demonstrated this on Lennys first stint.
I predicted BR would make a fight of it.
I predicted the animosity created would leave him little or no choice on his options and this would drive him away from the club.
I predicted he would lose and leave at the first opportunity,
Every single prediction was delivered on here and all based, as I said, on PLs character not BRs.
On each prediction I was challenged and on each prediction I was vindicated. I even made some money for charity on one of my predictions, well I might have I’ve no idea if it was honoured.
BR brought the invincible season and like the same broken promises to back the manager made to Lenny in his first stint, BR learned about the snake oil salesman.
While I’ve no idea if there is a BR interview in the pipeline, this article suggests something like that is being prepared for, call it intuition call it a prediction, call it a load of old bull, what ever you want to call it, my track record on this is all in the CQN archives.

ROCK TREE BHOY on 12TH NOVEMBER 2019 4:53 PM
Curiosity peaked so had a quick look at Sentinel Celts – they let you curse and swear on there no bother – no moderators I guess. Also seems one or two of their posters don’t like CQN, some vowing to never post on here again. Shame given that we are all Celtic supporters with the same aim – a successful Glasgow Celtic Football Club, but hey ho, all part of lives colourful tapestry I guess,
………………….
HH Mate.
I am an old guy now, and I can speak/post with some authority on the subject of so called Celtic Supporters due to my unfortunate experiences in having met and/or came across some so called Celtic supporters who are total Morons/ Imbeciles….and indeed Chumps of the highest order. Thankfully, those Chumps have/are been in the minority.
Whether its in the street or a pub… or in the Days when Celtic Park, or any Ground was mostly the terracing, and You would take your place on the Terracing, looking forward to enjoying a good Celtic performance….only for some Moron/Chump and maybe some of his “Gang”/Pals to suddenly be standing right next to you etc. You can either ignore the Chump ( which is always difficult especially if hes shouting a lot of unwarranted abuse at Celtic players, or who just simply doesnt know the rules of fitba and for 90 minutes shouts and bawls a whole lot of Crap in your earholes ?), Move away to another spot….or feckin lamp him wan ?
Over the years, I have tried ALL three options.
Dont be fooled ( I dont know what age you are ?)…You will come across several so called Celtic fans that talk one load of Pish 24/7…or who are maybe intent on causing aggro even with their so called fellow Celtic supporters…its in their DNA.
It can be a Large Tapestry at times.
Allow me to compare for a moment…I could be standing or sitting at Celtic Park..and some Chump who I have never met stands/sits next to me ( obviously it was easier to just move away from a Moron when it was mostly Terracing), but sometimes I would think to myself….”Why should it be ME who feckin moves to another spot, as Ive got a great view of the game etc ” ? So I would stand my ground…and on occasions the situation would come to blows…not too many occasions…as sometimes those Chumps would move away ( especially after having a word in their ear)…probably to try and go elsewhere and annoy someone else ?
So the above “scenario” is a bit like being on here, where you have a Moron/Chump who is continually posting a whole lot of crap…and even FAKE NEWS/LIES ?
Some time ago, I took the decision not to Post on here anymore….largely due to the Number 1 Chump….a Attention seeking Chump at that called “Big Packy”, posting a whole lot of Crap and Lies, and in my opinion bring the Blog into constant disrepute etc. I did not wish to be “Guilty of Association”, by finding myself responding to this Trouble Making half wit…so I did do “Walking away” for a few Months, just like the option you have when a Chump stands next to you in a Pub or indeed at Celtic Park etc.
Just like the possible scenario that I described above, I suddenly thought…” WHY should I stop posting on CQN, and surely the many sensible Good Guys on here would suss out this Chump BP, and put him in his place” ? So I returned to this Blog, only to find that while this Chump had latched onto another Blog called SC, he would STILL sometimes Post on here, but only to seek even MORE Attention than he was obviously getting on SC…its CLEARLY in HIS DNA !
I have provided several examples and reminders of this Chumps behaviour/Posts especially in recent days on here, but here is another…A few weeks ago…I happened to Lurk on SC…..and this Number 1 Chump/Half Wit…( who had obviously been absent for a few days from SC)….as he submitted a Post that went….” Listen Bhoys…I am back after a few days holiday…did you ALL MISS ME” ?
That is a CLEAR example of how highly he “Rates” HIMSELF…as who in their right mind would ever dream of submitting such a Post ? He BELIEVES that ANY blog whether its CQN and/or SC……Fails to function if he is not Posting…what a fanny !
For a long time now this BP Chump has sometimes viewed himself as having some kind of “Authority” on either/both Blogs. On SC he often describes other Posters as being “In HIS Gang”…..They know who they are.
He was also on CQN just a few days ago…LITERALLY Demanding that PHILBOY should apologise to one of his “Gang Members”…JIMTHETIM53…this Chump “BP” clearly has ideas above his Pay grade….after all.. how much skill, experience, Craftmanship…or indeed Certificates etc does someone NEED to have the ABILITY to “Walk a Couple of Dugs” most days ?
Thankfully, PHILBOY ALSO has this Chump “Totally Sussed” and told him to feck Off etc ! But that wasnt enough, as this Chump then Posted yet again…soon after too repeat his demands to PHILBOY !
For those on SC who say that they will not Post again on CQN…Then Good feckin Riddance…You will NOT be Missed by this Poster, and several others on here, I suspect ?
Please just stick to your wee “Gang Hut” on SC…and save us on CQN from your Boring, Inane, Tedious, Child Like…and FAKE NEWS and LIES.
Rock Tree…You have quoted in your Post that some on SC are saying that they will not Post on CQN anymore…Thank feck I say…and I can only hope and pray that one of THEMs is that Imbecile “BP” ?
Sorry for the long post …but some things just NEED to be said.
HH Rock tree.
Taking a break from the playground for a few days…..
Gonna be a long old international break…😵😵😜

Having read all from yesterday I like yourself decided to lurk for first time on Sentinel Celts.
My timing was good as Big Packy was berated by a fellow poster because he still ventured onto CQN and in response BP like the BIG GIRLS BLOUSE he is apologised profusely and promised never to go back on CQN
Why did BP apologise, surely its no ones business where anyone posts.
Anyway I lurk infrequently due to work but still enjoy you calling out the chumps or huns
who dont even know where Celtic Park or Parkhead is never mind going to a match.
Keep on Keep on

“What a lot of revisionist pish, simply reinforcing the Plc narrative but why now, is there something in the pipeline from BR, will he be ending his silence on the details, has he already in a documentary interview?
The answer to that was given already in the final paragraph of Paul’s leader.
P.S. When you were predicting accurately the unfolding of the BR era, did you predict how poor his transfer market activity would be? Remember not to credit him with the Moussa transfer- that was already started from within CP and was well down the road to completion.

Many CQN posters can post comfortably on both Sentinel Celts and CQN but feel more comfortable on one rather than the other- there is nothing wrong with that.
Those that go on to SC just to wind up some of the mine shafting tendency posters are in the wrong, just as those who come on here solely to dig up Paul 67 for not printing what Sentinel Celts prints, are also in the wrong.
The internet is a wide enough space for everyone to find their slot. You just need to be sure that you are not the only one left in an echo chamber when you have seeded out all the dissidents.
Good morning CQN From a freezing, misty, Central Highlands. This morning’s mercury is struggling to reach minus 3c. Hopefully the sun will burn off the mist, to leave us with one of those bright days that are such a treat in the winter. Currently the cobwebs are highlighted with frost crystals. It always surprises me how many cobwebs there are when they reveal themselves in the frost, I can see hundreds of them just looking out of the window.

Tom Harris is the latest in a long line of disappointed Blairites who cannot stand the fact that their constituency party no longer fancies their automatic right to be re-selected in a job for life.
Over the years we have lost many to the SDP and then the Liberals and Chuka’s vanity project, but very few have been mad enough to cross over directly from Labour to Tory, missing out the middle man.
It takes a certain type of narcissist at this time to advocate voting for the Trump Tory Party because you yourself cannot get elected in what was your party of choice.
The country has gone mad with Brexit nationalism. Aron Banks has deep pockets.
I was on Sentinel Celts this morning.
I posted yesterday that I was able to access SC but it would not allow me to post.
Been exchanging lots of emails with BMCUWP and he has confirmed it is a glitch and not me being barred!
Sorry for suggesting such a thing!
Am able to post on my old laptop so no problem, except my old laptop is as slow as a week…………………..

Your last sentence would be great news…but we are talking about a “SERIAL” Attention Seeker….who expected Folk on CQN to try and find his “MISSING” Wife….despite never having met any CQNr at that time….and not forgetting that the vast majority of CQNr’s live hundreds…if not THOUSANDS of miles away ?
As for going to Celtic Park these days, sadly my health will not allow it, but even before this recent illness and heart attack etc….for some time now my health wasnt too great anyway…which didnt prevent some on SC Posting LIES about my abilities or decisions on whether I was actually well enough to attend a Celtic game, despite have a ticket in my pocket…I know who they were/.are…I will NEVER forgive them.
