Sensational Celtic remains sound business plan

964

You know a transfer window approaches when practically every media outlet has a story on Celtic are set to lose an important player.  Transfer stories are one of the most reliable commercial ventures in business.  They require no effort to produce, or recopy, as most outlets appear to, do not need to lead anywhere, but income per word read brings in more advertising revenue than anything else the UK media.

The premise that Sir Alex Ferguson has shared his plans to sell and then buy with an external party is ridiculous.  The distraction this can cause to Celtic players is merely a by product.

Ordered the CQN Annual yet? Get it here in time for Christmas!

Those who comment on our game do manage to contort themselves sometimes.  Sky TV convinced themselves Arbroath manager Paul Sheerin’s demonstrable angst at full time last night was in connection to his side’s disallowed goal.  A less animated Paul then explained his actions were frustration at only having three minutes added time.  If he wants to get more TV time he’d better follow the script – be angry at Celtic!

The moment Neil Lennon’s interview ended Sky cut across him to assure us Lassad’s disallowed goal was offside (which it was).  They acknowledged Keddie’s arm around the neck of Fraser Forster for the Arbroath ‘goal’ but were unable to confirm this was against the rules.

Football rules are very confusing, after all, but the rules on how the media make money out of Celtic remain the same.

We have not discussed Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas for a couple of days.  This single is going to position Celtic Charity and the 125 4 125 campaign in a prime spot across the nation.  You and I need to get involved THIS WEEK to raise the profile as high as possible ahead of the Christmas chart.

    Brunello di Montalcino is indeed an excellent wine.

    Not familiar with Pilastro – but if it is from Brindisi that would make it a wine from Puglia (the heel) which produces some excellent wines.

     

     

    HH!!

  3. Geo, our brilliant CQN photographer is tonight supplying us with latest images from last night for the next issue of CQN Magazine which should be ready in the next day or so. He just said that Arbroath is the coldest he has ever been at any match so maybe that explains something to the armchair critics. He also said the Celtic fans made up for it with their singing and support for the team.

    When I was in Befica Johann Murdoch and I had a bottle of port which we both liked, Burmeister Jockey Club was the name on the bottle.

     

    When I got home I put it in the tool bar on the computer to see where it went.

     

    I ended up on a Portugese wine Company site,1000s and 1000s of wines and Ports listed,from 3 euros to 2.050euros.I bought a 12 bottle case and it arrived 5 days after the order was placed.

     

    They handle all wines from the wine producing contries.

  6. T4, the Black Stump from ST wine club is excellent. An Australian Durif Shiaz, as is The Waxwd Bat, another Aussie, Shiraz but with Cabernet Sauvignon, excellent with more wine;-)

  7. Retsina? jeezo there’s summit wrang with that.

     

    “That’s how it’s supposed to taste”

    You could see the bhoys last night were feeling the effects of the weather, and the skating rink that they were playing on didny help.

     

     

    I can concur with yer man, I was brought up about 50 miles north of there on the coast.

    Cracklin’ Rosie, you’re a store-bought woman

     

    You make me sing like a guitar hummin'”

    I think they only did them in 1.5 liters so a bit on the small side for spaghetti.

     

    Think it was Paul Mason wine that made them.

  16. The Spirit of Arthur Lee.

     

     

    when you come up with that song.

     

    Scenes from an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel

     

    I just about choked,I was listening to it when I read your post,A bottle of red, A bottle of White.My favourite singer.

  17. Evening all.

     

     

    Not drinking tonight but my suggestion for a fine red wine is a South African, Hutton’s Ridge. Was given it as a gift a couple of years ago and and used it to celebrate after Sammi beat Rangers 2-0 at Ibrox. Knocked me for six mind you.

     

     

    Off to Google it just now to see if I can acquire some more somewhere!

    I have a TotalWine 2 miles from me, outstanding but better deals at WTSO.com, free shipping on 4 bottles and no tax, not sure if they ship to Canada..??

    You’re about 20 miles north of where I am then.

     

    Glad to hear you’re enjoying your time over here though its a pity about all the rain. The forecast for weekend is good.

     

    Happy 70th and enjoy chasing the Snow Bunnies (God knows there’s loads about :) )
