Rosenborg went five years without winning the Norwegian title before Kare Ingebrigtsen turned things around. Under him, they were champions the last three seasons – back on the pertch. A mere two points off the pace, having scraped a win against Valur, he was sacked, just six days before his former team face Celtic.
It seems harsh. This is a club burdened by their Champions League history. Until 2004, when money replaced meritocracy, they held the record for the number of consecutive appearances in the group stage (8). But they never turned the lights off. They see clubs from other small nations reach the group stage of the Europa League and, to a lesser extent, the Champions League, and know they could do the same.
If they thought Ingebrigtsen’s team would have beaten Celtic he would still be in a job. Instead, they have thrown the dice in the hope of giving players an edge. The new interim boss’s only managerial gig in the last seven years was six weeks in charge of the Aruba national team. Since then he’s kicked around as a youth coach and been an assistant in Dubai. It’s a strange one.
Sacking a manager often leads to a short-term boost in results, which is all that is required for European qualification. Expect this tie to be competitive. That’s good, I prefer Celtic to play in games with a visible edge, than against unknowns with fire in their belly. Cool heads will be needed. On that subject, we’ll discuss Jozo later.
Newco, having successfully argued the SFA should refer the matter of Rangers’ eligibility for Uefa competition in 2011 to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), now request the SFA do not take the matter to CAS. It’s a kind of Newco logic; any victory in a storm.
They argue this procedural guidance establishes the complaint has no merit, whereas the SFA Judicial Panel Disciplinary Tribunal did not address the complaint, only their competency to examine it.
The Judicial Panel ruled “the Notice of Complaint must be determined by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.” The word “must” has been overlooked by Newco. The SFA must act accordingly. Taking the whole thing to Lausanne will make sure we don’t need to go through another round of “Who are these people” type witch-hunts. I know what you are thinking, Dave King has been making friend with the SFA on a weekly basis for months now, surely they will do his bidding.
I’m not sure Dave’s that clever.

Like yourself I have met a stack load of very good Celtic fans from this place, I would love Dermot or even Dermot to let Peter Lawwell go to town on the cheats but that’s in an ideal world .. I think I come across as a happy clapper just because I love what’s happening just now, loved wee Lenny, thought Ronny was hung out to dry off and on the park and think Brendan is as special as Tommy Burns …. stuff the cheats, they give us box office whether we like it or not, and leading up too 2/9/2018 the Stevie Gee v our manager will be crazyee .. whether you or I like it or not…. I know for a fact I have friends & family who are already planning that weekend … apologies if that doesn’t sit well with the entitled CQNers :-)

Gerry.
Watching Celtic is real life. Being cheated or wronged is real life .
I’m all for forgiveness, but before anyone asks for forgiveness they’ve got to acknowledge that they’ve done wrong.
Trust me , I’ve done plenty wrong , and have often sought forgiveness. I could live with paying into a rigged game if there’s change on the horizon. My hope of change rests with 4 guys who post on CQN. Having shared time & a bevy with a couple of them I know that they’re genuine. I also actually trust that our chief executive is also genuine , but he’s got a business to run .
If the business involves lying down to corruption then the business he runs ain’t getting my dough.
Time will tell. HH
================
Can you send that to Celtic too please?
TET. There isn’t an answer really. Apart from challenging at every chance.
I think part of this is realising that Celtic are dead. Still haven’t really accepted that yet but working on it.
Gerry I think you are missing the point entirely but hey let’s just stop.
Auldheid then is it just fear doe, the baying mob then if it isn’t money. I need to read the chapter again but the book overall was an excuse.
CELTARELLA on 21ST JULY 2018 11:26 PM
Aye the old club is buried at Ibrox.
————————————————–
You and me both know that it died.
The new sham is what it is.
I only hope that those whom are presently at the helm of our magnificent football, are not complicit in the same club myth.
Nothing but respect for the Rez12 crew, however the gallant few shouldn’t have even had to carry the burden on their shoulders.

Auldheid 11.58pm
What about all the supporters who want a Sevco to beat ?
Or do they not count because they aren’t complaining ?
I can assure you that is not my view, I think it’s the majority’s view and maybe Dermott & Peter are aware of this
Keep up the good fight

I have a special knack at missing the point :-)
Again, like many others, on Celtic , I don’t disagree with most of your points
Anyone who thinks Rangers are dead is an idiot in my opinion.
They came 3rd in the league last season.
Gerry,
The Young Ones hear about beating the Huns from the old yins.
They want it as much as possible, especially as they are getting to See History being made.
Every Home game howevaaaaah the Referee, he just Cheats. Its as obvious as obvious can be.
Scottish Fitba will do well when the Referees are not being Controlled by… ?
oh the bad huns. I hope they dont die we need sumbdy to hate.
Aye the racism and quality in life in Scotland is really dire these days coz of thems.
Their vanguard strolls on unabated in their cheating arrogant entitlement mentality.
Celtic PLC love it. Eat it up bhoys. They’re gonna be around long after you die.
Their grandchildren will support Celtic errrr naw they’ll no.

======================
There are many different reasons why folk support Celtic.
On beating Sevco I was always happy as it stopped some of them from crowing about it in my presence or looking me out to do it.
Funny enough when we won I did my crowing with fellow supporters.
Rangers are dead.
Sevco is Alive.
That must really HURT their Supremacy p!sh.
Mags
Do you think Lazio & Roma dudlike each other ?
Petec
My oldest nephew is 35yrs young his daughter & pal sit in me & his old seats in 108 they get really annoyed about the internet old bhoys…. why can’t you let us enjoy beating the huns…. the younger fans care not a jot about registrations & ebts …. fact
Gerry.
I look forward to every Celtic game. I get the Sevco attraction, I just don’t understand it. Love beating them, but the add ons, including personal safety afterwards bring an element I don’t like, especially as I get older and less fit .
Everyone to their own , CQN is only a tiny element of the Celtic support, but its my choice of blogs and I would rather be aware of corruption than blind to it.
I understand it doesn’t matter to some .
Anyhow. I’m heading to my kip , glad you’re enjoying the golf and nice chatting. HH
Auldheid. Thanks for the reply. It’s certainly about time I put my feelings forward to the club. More the merrier.
Thanks for all your input. HH
Sevco – It Lives.
Dead as a dodo they are.
HH. ?
Rangers Died.
A new Club is playing there @ Ibrox.
There really is only 1 NEIL FRANCIS LENNON.
When Trump tells the uk to get out Ireland to facilitate a trade deal, and as a consequence, Ireland is united, what will racist Scotland be like then, with anti Irish racism, when Scotland will be bursting at the seams with the infuriated Ulster Scots overspill, who’ll be being spun the story that their land(which their ancestors originally stole) has been stolen from them by the cruel Irish, what would be the outcome of that toxic mix ?
How long before the first – “Send the Tim’s home! ” campaign gets off the ground ?
Worse than that, it could happen before Ten in a row.
JUNGLISM
By the way write Sevco instead of Rangers all you want but ask yourself a few questions …
Why celebrate beating a new club ?
If they are 6yr old why let them bother you ?
Why give them the air time ?
Oxygen keeps them breathing
Concentrate on Celtic ?
Roll on Rosenburg
Bring on the Borg.

Apples and bananas. The Italian FA are too busy paying off UEFA to keep their Juventus and Milan Old Firm alive to worry about any Hibs Hearts type of pish. Which brings me back to doh! Unfortunately for us UEFA consider Scottish football a kinda Hibs Hearts type pish. Nae money in it. However, within the realms of Scotland the OF local economy boost is why their grandchildren will never buy Celtic season tickets. Swings and roundabouts.
Angelgabriel
CQN is my only Celtic outlet and I totally appreciate it, never registered for another blog in my life took me all my time too get on here … as for personal safety I totally agree never used to understand my mother fretting about me wearing the hoops (young & stupid) these days as a parent I know understand … only took my 40+ years to understand
Hope to maybe but you a pint in the BV if we make the CL groups :-)
Brendan IMO has earned the right to go risky to get through the CL qualifiers.
Brendan is the Boss.

Don’t be fooled by the rock’s that I’ve got.
I’m still Jenny from the block…
Night Bhoys. See you in Paradise.
If we go Europa League. I think we would do spiffingly well there.

Fair play … I don’t buy into the grandchildren patter either but living where I do and knowing the people I have grew up with the huns are broke even their couple of century old walk is now being laughed at
I love living in Scotland and I can assure you it’s not as bad as these pages portray it
By the way there is hatred in many cities in the world, it’s not exclusive to Glasgow but that doesn’t fit the narrative on here :-)
FCD,
Something inside so Magical
PETEC,
Thank’s enjoyed that…Bravo
Hail Hail.
After an executive order to stop the forced separation of migrant children from their parents, Donald Trump has spoken of his horror that such a barbaric practice could be taking place in America in 2018.
“My daughter, Ivanka, just showed me truly horrible footage of some fat orange guy with bad hair ordering these kids to be snatched from their parents and put in cages in an abandoned Walmart”.
“That is why I have signed with immediate effect an executive order, putting a stop to this inhumane practice and returning those kids to their mums and dads..”
“I think it is totally disgusting that the Democrats could have come up with such a sadistic law and I know that the voters will punish them for this at the mid-terms.”
“Just Thank god I am the president and was able to put a stop to it.”
After a short nap, President Trump then signed a fresh executive order requiring the separation of migrant children from their parents, condemning the previous executive order which was probably the work of Obama.
FCD,
I dinnae know anything. That was just awesome. Cheers.
Maximum respect.
Neil is helping this Country with his Unbelievable Skills.
There is no doubt there is Institutional whatever phrase in Scotland. Neil is really Remarkable. Like an Iron Horse.
After all the years of turmoil and bloodshed, it’s bizarre that Brexit is going to be the catalyst for a United Ireland.
President Donald J Trump also promoting the 32.

You forgot to mention that Trump thinks Ireland is in Kentucky.
Celtarella,
You know the MSM have had the knives out for the Trump. They have had since day 1.
Social Justice Warriors going crazy.
petec on 22nd July 2018 1:00 am
What MSM?
Scotland’s MSM?
So there is hope?
Bad enough debating about Celtic but the Trumpmeister is a trap already set
Fellow Celts good night n take care

Petec are you defending trump?

Petec are you defending trump?
………………………………………………..
Donald, or the Donald is not a very nice person but God uses People (disagree with TT here) to do things. He is the start and the end. AO.
I really like that Trump is likely to put in place Dudes that are gonnae save so many unborn children.
Anyway, to answer your question nope. I think my Continuous links to Dr Future on here says as much. In case you missed my links…Two Spies
