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.

Since the site is quiet & I have been imbibing very contentedly, it is probably a good time to express what it is like to be a Celtic man at this moment in time…………….
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
consider all the works thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
thy power throughout the universe displayed:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God; to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God; to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!

Irresponsible of First Bus to take the effort to remove the bus roof and employ a crane just to get him on in the first place! Was it worth it?? No. :))
Garcia,
and that is the hub of it for me, the injustice that has been suffered by so many because of their behaviour over the decades may have been difficult to deal with.
Injustice makes people frustrated and that frustration turns to anger but today there are so many avenues we can use to dispel that frustration and this is one of them.
We can turn that injustice back on them and let them and every else see what they are really like, and if they do not or refuse to change then the world sees them for what they are. I too am viewing this from far off .HH

That was one of the few hymns I enjoyed singing at primary school. The other one will be known to you with the first line “Peace Perfect Peace”, which from the age of 4.5 I took the words to be “Peas, Perfect Peas” and then mistakenly re-wrote the rest of the lyrics in my head around food. I kid you not – no one ever noticed my mistakes due to my gentle, pleasant and perfectly melodic voice :))
FFM,
For God’s sake don’t wake them up.
SChhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Evening bhoys from a cool hun free mountain.

Thanks for that link.
I honestly thought I knew what went on, jeezo, that video sure opened my eyes, and I can understand why it’s banned in britland.
Shocking stuff, really shocking, but not surprising.

If anyone is interested on the cover up, and how they murdered Dodi & Diana, you should watch these before they are taken down.
Hunbelievable stuff.
I would like this team to stay together for a few years but the reality is players will move on for more money. If Celtic get a decent amount of money for them that’s the best we can hope for.
Literally put on SSB for a few moments while washing the dishes … Spiers said that Celtic fans ‘crowing’ about the demise of rangers had made things worse between Celtic and rangers fans…Celtic fans the cause of all trouble…Jesus wept…trannie switched aff !

“miki67,savage by name,savage by nature,st mungo.”
>>>>>
correct. a generation of bhoys savaged by that psycho. man, he was mean.
I also spent a short time at St. Aloysius….bailed….hated it. The Jesuits were a breed apart.
like, for most kids growing up in Glasgow, it’s a conflicted experience.
I loved growing up on Glasgow, I love visiting, but it was some upbringing in a cosmopolitan port city divided by religion.
born into one camp or another.
I ended up at the Mungo because I was good at memorising facts; that was the way it was back then.
there were kids from all over Glasgow….one of the smartest guys I knew was in The Calton Tongs ( The Young Tongs wing )……what a hard life he lead.
anyway…..I heard Martin Amis say that you get into your 50’s and an amazing palace of memory opens up in your head.
every time I’m in Glasgow I go for long walks. So many of the streets look exactly the same. even some of the old places are there.
the people are still the same. And Celtic F.C…….then, now, forever. I’m just glad to have been a small part of it all.
even when I was far away, the first time I heard The Blue Nile, without any prior knowledge of them, as soon as I heard ‘Tinseltown in The Rain’ I knew they were from Glasgow, and I could see Argyll St. on a rainy winter’s evening….magic.
the place is in yer bones.

Got them bookmarked for a scary bedtime tale….
HH!
Having been home for three weeks listening to the radio and watching cooncil telly I know why so many CQN’ers have high blood pressure, MSM is not good for your health..
Bring on the Buddies for a skelping..

Tip toes away……

You won’t be dissapointed.
Celticbhoy.
What a load of rubbish.
No Celtic fan that I know of has done ANY crowing.
At all.
We’ve been too busy laughing at them for that kind of thing……
I listen to ssb via an app.
I don’t take it seriously. It’s like audio tripe, but blackly funny.
I’ll probably get told that the problem is that some people take it seriously.
Why would they? It is patent rubbish. It comes across as a wing of t’rankers p.r. trying to pretend it’s not, and that makes it even funnier.
And I like to keep a distant eye on the orcs.
Like Sauron.
But good…..
Wonder if Neil will play 3 at the back on saturday?
Is the 3 at the back to be played in the spl or is
it to be used in europe. Interesting to see
where Neil takes it.
Personally, i hope he perseveres with it, no bad thing
for a team to be flexible.
Hello Peeps
Chuffed to get through to meet the mighty Raith.
However, and I know I’ve been accused on here many times as being Marc Crosas’s agent, which I’m not but he is what we need for a bit of class in midfield. My name will tell you but where the hell can we get another Lubo,eh? Someone to slow down and think. My opinion only but too many of our midfielders are the same product. Don’t get me wrong, they’ve done a great job but we do NEED someone with vision and class, like LuBo or Crosas.
Hail Hail

Interesting article Paul. The inference from the Media is that Celtic’s best players are somehow too good for Celtic and their job (the media) is to provide transfer links to “bigger” clubs such as Southampton and QPR. Sometimes these stories appear mere weeks after a new, promising player joins. We have even seen “stepping stone to the EPL” stories appear before a new player has kicked a ball for Celtic.
I agree with you that their aims are;
1. to sell papers
and
2 to unsettle Celtic players
It is also born out of a desire to see Celtic descend into mediocrity. The media are guilty of a lot of wishful thinking.

Gettin flashbacks to the Frank Skerritt Saturday morning background tunes from my youth, and the wummin with the high pitched voice fae church, who always gave that one laldy.
Not a patch on Sing Hosanna – which my kids used to do a wee Henrik add-on to (in a whisper) and I always pretended not to notice.

Fortunes Favour Mibbes, credit where credits due, great joke re the huns five stars, nice one.
Talking of audio tripe from the MSM, the BBC 6 O’Clock news – 4 top stories all involved government black ops or suspicious activity from ye olde establishment. Also, none of these 4 stories included the Pat Finucane story.
And all this from their main propaganda stream…..

Cheers amigo. You should post more during the night time :))

God im getting old :))
SSB and The Rangers fans are so funny. The Rangers fans keep coming on and stating that Celtic fans are obsessed with them. They don’t do irony.
And if you dare criticise it, some plum will throw down with “the politics of envy.”
Gies a brek.
The ‘system’ is rotten. Rank rotten. That’s why the revolutions of the 19th and 20th centuries happened.
And we’re back in the same kind of state. Top-heavy wealth blatantly rippin’ it outtae the poor.

I know what you mean. When l talk to any fans of the team formally known a rangers, l can’t keep my face straight long enough to crow about their demise just burst out laughing at them
Talking about hymns, anyone heard the one reputedly written by an Irish Monk in the 17th century re the formation of The Church of England.
“Don’t speak of your alien Minister,
Of his Church without meaning or Faith,
For the Foundation Stone of its Temple,
Was the Bol***ks of Henry the Eight.”^
I’m obsessed with CQN.
I need treatment.
CQN Anonymous.
miki67
This is the least I’ve been on CQN for years, very very weird not having a computer!!
DL manglin’ language into a verbal cul de sac, then breenjin’ straight through to the next street with the look of a drunken duck in his eyes. Surprise!
miki 67
My name is ????????????????? and I too am addicted to CQN !!
Conundrum. Paradox. Mental loop.
cqn IS anonymous.
I’m done like a kipper.
Getting kicked oot the library, hope to see some excellent CQN’ers in the Northstand Lounge on Saturday..
Hail Hail
An easy way to suss out the control of BBC output is to watch News 24 for a night, and watch the gradual dilution of each reported item, up to the stage that, in some cases, you are hearing a completely different version of events by the morning. It’s especially obvious on the reports of outbreaks of hunnic behaviour in the Six Counties.
Interesting to see the reactions of mainland Europeans when they see the way news is reported here. Also interesting to see that statistic today that we watch more TV than anywhere else in the world, third only to the US and Italy.
Also interesting to note that the huns are not too popular anywhere in Europe except here, where the Scottish MSM has them on a pedestal so high that it’s peak is in fact in contact with another solar system. And that’s where I’d like to see them shipped to :))

Aint karma a bitch former minister for the disabled Maria Miller who was along with IDS who were responsible for the cutting of benfits to the disabled is now herself being investigated for claiming £90,000 expenses, taxi for Miller or hopefully a black Maria
I heard of cqn, but I didnae take it seriously. Then I got given a wee free taster. I liked it. So I came back for more. Did a lot of lurkin’…..then the day came. I was handed an iPad….here, I was told, you’ll find it easier with this. And that was it…I was in. Mainlinin’ into the small hours; straight in first thing in the morning. Now I can’t find my way out.
I tried other sites, but they were poor substitutes. Cold turkey is too painful.
Maybe I should try supporting another team? Heresy.
Oh well.
I suppose the overdose will cure me.
*~*
Weeman here,
don’t post a lot but lurk a lot as I get most all of my Celts info here.
I see a lot of the faithfull are on tonight. I should have posted yesterday but a lot of attention was on the game, yesterday was 12/12/12 and was my 70th birthday and was wondering if that would constitute a podium that even Philvus can’t beat, in other words anyone aulder oan here. I have had a good week so far going out to dinner each night and I will fill you in on my menu a little later as I know there are a lot of gourmet chefs and gourmet wine drinkers on here. I hope this finds you all well and in good “spirits”.
HailHail……..
