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.

Blantyre – I am trying – I am even trying to blame Philvis for things he hasnt said – lets see if it works.
Fortune Favours – I am a grammer rebel.
Summa – I havent done my snow research yet.
As for our MSM – they are so discredited that they are a laughing stock. Wee Dawwyllll is leaving these shores with tail firmly between legs. Jabba had to move – he was badly exposed and succulent lamb journalism will find its way into dictionaries in future with a picture of Jabba underneath.
Having to close down my computer as my driver is over the limit.

You have prompted a night of ‘All Our Yestedays’ on here reminding us that the bias of Scottish Football referees and the Scottish Football press are by no means recent phoenema. Your mention of Jack Mowat brings back ‘unfond’ memories of when he was the Hugh Dallas of Scotttish Football in the mid fifties. I remember when he refereed a Celtic v Rangers quarter final replay at Ibrox after a 4-4 draw at Celtic Park.My friend and I dodged our Wednesday afternoon classes at Uni to go across to Ibrox for the match. My lasting memory of the game was not that Celtic won 2-0 and went on to win a rare Cup and League double under the captaincy of Jock Stein,but an incident involving John Higgins, Celtic’s right winger, Bobby Shearer, Ranger’s right back and referee Jack Mowat.A ball was played into Higgins in a clear position around the penalty spot. As he steadied himself to shoot, Shearer jumped at him from some distance away and took him out at the knees. Mowat,who was running towards this incident, wheeled round and ran back up the park , letting play continue. The impact of this incident on this trio was that John Higgins never fully recovered from this tackle and a bright career ended prematurely; Bobby Shearer went on to captain Rangers and was capped for Scotland; and Jack Mowat (like Dallas) went on to become the Supervisor of Scottish referees. Plus ca change!

Aye, EJ is strictly Earl Grey these days!
Can we rent Sevco??

You can’t be here right now. Have you popped through a worm hole from a parallel universe? We have won our last 3 games. Unless of course in your Universe its Saturday night and St Mirren have scored their first goal against us at CP in Danny Lennon’s tenure.
Now beat it! Yur a bad omen.

Fortune – Celtic is the support – not the place we go to watch a team – the support. I am ever proud to be part of the supporters as a group. We are brilliant – in the main clever, witty and we have risen above the prejudice we have faced. When Celtic the club let us down thats why I get really annoyed.
As for punctuation. I think, that its really not that important, but. You know I might be wrong etc etc etc
Apologies to anyone under 16 and anyone over 80
NO SPEAKAH DE ENGLISH
A bus stops and 2 Italian men get on.
They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.
The lady sitting next to them ignores them at first,
But her attention is galvanized when she hears one of them say the following:
Emma come first.
Den I come.
Den two asses come together.
I come once-a-more! .
Two asses, they come together again.
I come again and pee twice.
Then I come one lasta time.’
The lady can’t take this anymore,
“You foul- mouthed sex obsessed pig!”
She retorted indignantly.
‘In this country, we don’t speak aloud in public places about our sex lives!”
‘Hey, coola down lady,’ said the man, ‘Whooza talkin’ about sex?
I’m a justa tellin’ my frienda how to spell ‘ Mississippi ‘.

Fortunes Favour Mibbes – Thank you my friend in Celtic. (thumbsup)
67Heaven … I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors – Spot on…….but, guess what……. we will never be defeated, while Celtic has her fans …..!!!!!!!
Well said.
125 years ago or so Celtic was just an idea in the mind of Brother Walfrid. Despite, and in part because of, all the attempts by others to keep our club and our community down, we have not just survived, we have thrived. (thumbsup)
NegAnon2 – But I have always thought that Celtic aspired to mediocrity rather than are descending into it….
If being champions of our country and mixing it with the elite of Europe is mediocrity, if assembling an exciting young cosmopolitan team brimming with talent is mediocrity, then let’s aspire to more of this mediocrity stuff. (thumbsup)
Moonbeams – how did you suss out the time traveller that is neganon? 0-1 to the Saints (pen)

So Sevco now think they are Freddy Fast Fare.

I hear you :))
Or :((
How dare some working class youngsters be upset at EJ taking kids provided to him by the government social services in return for a wee political party donation?
Not a rant against anything you’ve said or done amigo, or against gay adoption, just a rant against the “Social Services” who are correctly being slated in Eastenders at the moment. They do actually behave like that, and politics is the motivation.
In other words, here in the ole UK, if you have the money, you can buy children. Legally.
Estadio – I not only LOLed at that story, but also at your perfect representation of excellent CQN’er Tallybhoy’s Kilwinning accent. (thumbsup)
During their nine in a row, one team was loaded.
Everyone else was skint.
Celtic sold Pat McGinley to Hibs to fund three players, if my dodgy memory is right.
Armageddon?
No surree!
Just the most wonderful league that ever existed.
Triumph after triumph!
Oh, they were so superior they messed themselves.
And laughed again.
Now Britney is moaning about Celtic fans giving it back.
Jeez!
New it Neganon.
Beat it ya broody moody grumpy frumpy numpty.

Excellent Philvis – you did bite. So lets talk about credibility?

FFS. you were doing so well too ya choob…..

You say…..Fortune – Celtic is the support – not the place we go to watch a team – the support. I am ever proud to be part of the supporters as a group. We are brilliant – in the main clever, witty and we have risen above the prejudice we have faced. When Celtic the club let us down thats why I get really annoyed.
If you replaced the word ‘Celtic’ with say a team from the Edmiston Drive area, is their existence also their ‘support’.
If it is then they still exist.
Hail hail

Aw cmon MWD – do you want to know how we get on at the CL final at Wembly or not?

Very good :))
Had to censor response :))
HH Sir.
A grand ole blog tonight.
Tyskie or Zywiec…bangs for buck!
Salut
night bhoys..
need to say a couple of extra prayers tonight..
that constantine is given me the heebie geebies…
Estadio – now you are mixing your metaphors here.
The huns are what Rangers espoused (much like we are what Celtic espouse). They espouse hatred, prejudice, small mindedness etc etc. We espouse openess, rebellion against authority and represent what an oppressed people can achieve.
The matter about existence is different in that the club that was Rangers was liquidated and does not exist anymore. However the people who supported Rangers were not liquiditated and they do indeed still exist.
Modern broody moody grumpy frumpy numpties are rubbish.
NegAnon2 – My friend in Celtic, I didn’t realise that politely replying to your message directed to my awesome self was “biting”.
Please be assured I would never knowingly bite another man, least of all a Celtic supporter.
You seem keen to discuss “credibility”, so please feel free to do so.
Personally I love all Pixar films, even Cars, so I’d be happy to discuss the libertarian themes in “The Incredibles”. (thumbsup)

I remember it well. Celtic were leading 4-2 at Celtic Park in that Scottish cup tie with about 10 mins left to play. I was there. Guess what happened next. Rangers ( now in liquidation) were awarded a controversial penelty at the uncovered Celtic end.
John Higgins career ended that afternoon. I came to know him in later years- he helped wallpaper my first marital home. A real gentleman, fine player and true Celt.
Some years later Alec Byrne received the same treatment at Ibrox and played the second half with his arm in a sling.
In the Greig years they tried the same tactics but Jock had stiffened the Celts so as well as playing football we had people in the team who could return messages with interest.
Summa are you telling us izzy has stirred from his rocking chair?

Where is the Stevie21 Flounce Creator..?
Fortune – I cannot be described as modern……
Right Philvis – I am debating whether we should debate the debate we had a while back about DD taking dividends and your “view” that DD had given soft loans to Celtic.
What do you think – should we?
Summa this is not tomorrow.
Neganon2
Ah the old ‘figure of speech’ debate.
Except I never used a ‘metaphor’.
I’m battered,slattered, scattered, tattered, shattered and any other words that come to mind ending in ‘attered’…
Bonsoir!

SOS,
I ask you, leave the fella alone, please.
Neganon2,
Yep. But voices like your own are even more important when our support are being attacked.
Anyhoos, you should ‘ang abat’ and talk to us moon howlers about the Tic. I think would be nice.
NegAnon2 – You’re still talking about that?
My friend in Celtic, your memory is clearly better than my drinking abilities, which I would modestly describe as “advanced”.
Have you come up with new evidence to suggest that reports DD loaned money to the club were not, in fact, true? Good on you. If you can prove this DD character is actually a moustache-twirling baddie who is living high off the hog as a result of his investment in Celtic, I suggest we club together to buy him out. (thumbsup)
