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.

Cheers mate, I thought the CQN Coupeners were my Buddies…:)
Yip, sure am okay for the 12th Jan.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
PF AYR
Saturday 12 Jan might be a tad problematic-my Dad’s birthday. If his “do” is on the Sunday,terrific,and not a problem.
HAMILTONTIM has my details,and assuming he has thawed out from Wednesday,I’m sure he won’t have a problem passing them on to you.
Look forward to it,unless one of my sisters reads this and moves the “do” to the Saturday…….
Help required… Is there anyone on the blog who can decipher dreams?
Mine is two dreams rolled into one. I’m in a bar in Lisbon waiting on Aiden McGeady. In he comes with what I can only describe as crap gear. He is wearing a brown velvet jacket with a paisley pattern on the sileeves And matching cream trousers with the brown paisley pattern on the sides. He talks to me in this outrageous Russian accent. I laugh back at him saying “what is going wrong with your voice?”
I then realise I’m dreaming. So I wake myself out of the dream and next minute I’m in a nightclub in Glasgow on a Friday night with Charlie Mulgrew and Scott Brown. I tell Cha & Skoosh about my mad dream with Aiden. They both pish themselves laughing. Then I say “what are you doing drinking on a Friday night? you have a match tomorrow!”…,,
I then wake up for real…..
Any help would be appreciated….

I expect that due decorum will be observed tonight,there is an important birthday to celebrate in a very GLASGOWCELTICWAY.
No dodgy song links,mind…….

Morning all,
Can I just say that the CQN annual is a brilliant read– even if you have read some of the articles before! My own contributions lower the standard a bit– but the rest of the contributions are of a very high standard and as good as any book you will find on the shelves.
Really well done to all concerned it is a fantastic production and a great stocking filler for the grandads, uncles and weans!!!!
Bar that the 1254125 campaign moves on with more and more people taking on a challenge or an adventure for charity.
The current monies being raised are going to the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Did you know that Vanessa Riddle now has 160,000 twitter followers worldwide and she continues to make progress– thank god.
Sadly I can’t think of Vanessa without sparing a thought for Niamh Curry who didn’t make it. It will be a hard Christmas without her for her folks, yet they still actively campaign to raise funds for others in the fight against Neuroblastoma– and they gave all the money raised for their own wee girl to someone else.
There is also an amazing wee charity called I believe in Magic which does nothing other than raise money to put on parties and treats for terminally ill children.
So at this time of year– if you can spare a few quid— well you know the drill.
Beyond that, if you have an idea for a daft or mental way of raising money for 1254125 then e-mail me at walfrid125@aol.co.uk and I will collate all the daft ideas and see if we can get a storybook out next year about Celtic fans raising money in the footsteps of Walfrid.
Cheers

Morning CQN from foggy Humberside,
BMCUW that Basil F link – incroyable!
It certainly is a New Chutney Experience!!
No wonder they give you that stuff for free whilst you wait for the mains…
Smashinmilkbottles,
fascinating stuff. Are you lamenting Aiden’s laudable integration into ways Muskovite, whilst at the same time worrying that Chico and The Broon are TOO integrated into the Way of the Weegie?
Goodness knows, eh?
HH
someone somewhere in summertime listening to some simple minds before tomorrows Villa winery concert in Auckland and a trip through memory lane. My youngest just commented that she wished she was young then because she is going to have to listen to rap when she fifty. life is good and the grass is green. Hope you are all enjoying the lead up to crimbo and special times with friends and family. I am . Hail Hail. The Celts are here.
Third rule, leave your primates outside, they’re no good at howling. It’s quite extraordinarily true.

Jealousy? a very bad trait….
Is it school holidays?
Smashy
Reading between the lines I’d say you have a strong feeling for Glasgow Celtic football club with loads of man love for both past and present players but believe you would have been more worthy of being afforded the opportunity to represent the club you have been steeped in since birth.

That’s a bit too deep – I tend to agree with FourGreenFields’ synopsis. I dream of drink when I’m asleep.

I’m afraid this dream of yours is not good news; on all sorts of levels:
Aiden’s ‘crap gear’ tells of your own insecurity with regards to your dress sense. You’ve merely displaced that fear into the persona of Aiden.
The Paisley pattern sleeves are you minds way of trying to deal with the memory of the gubbing we took at New St Mirren Park in the last days of Mogga. Unfortunately for you, had the patterned clothing appeared on, say gloves or socks, that would have indicated that you had (nearly) come to terms with this affliction.
As you may yourself have suspected, the next part of the dream represents your dark craving for alcohol, preferably paid for by better looking and well-off mates (who seem to hold you in ill-disguised contempt).
The one crumb of comfort is that the forthcoming fixture against St Mirren will allow you one more opportunity to wipe away that dreadful Paisley memory.
Where should I send the invoice … ?
