I’m not going to say I saw this coming, I didn’t see defeat, but when I wrote a couple of days ago that you and I have seen a lot more games like Celtic’s away to Lincoln Red Imps than Brendan Rodgers, and about European football in July, I knew this one was never going to play out in a triumphant manner.
On the first day he was appointed I asked one of you to compile Brendan an Efe highlights video – I assume we were all busy. God love Efe, he’s a fine man by all accounts, but he’s three years into a slump which is not going to end at Celtic. Brendan must now be aware. It’s no longer Efe’s fault if he costs us again.
I also made the point previewing this game that we can’t expect a squad comprising only one addition to last season’s group to perform remarkably different in qualification than a year ago. In this sense, Celtic performed as expected, this one had all the hallmarks of our recent Icelandic ventures.
The manager may not be embarrassed at the result (I suspect he might sound different privately) but many supporters are. Gibraltar has a population similar to Bellshill, but without the football heritage and support mechanism. Would defeat to Bellshill Athletic be embarrassing? You bet. Yesterday’s result was too.
We are woefully slow in build-up and have only one player in the squad who can create the 7 or 8 chances per game needed to get a result, and he’s 33 next month and currently injured.
We remain strong favourites to qualify for the next round but there is an enormous amount of work to be done in the next month. This is not a Champions League squad.

Rudicantfail,
Having met ACGR: he’s a top man.
Thereby vouched for by me.
Best flask dram I’ve ever had in glasgow town centre. (East side.)
No saying we’d never argue, but nonetheless, that’s what he is: one of the best.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
He is Radio Rental. Definitely a Great Dude without a shadow of a doubt.
He Loved this basement Jaxx.
I’m delighted to have met the Dude, he will tell you verily, I’m not his best of Company. ;))
I ain’t many these days. It is All good though.
Alasdair
Were you lucky enough not to find a pub showing the game on Tuesday?
PETEC
Temporary blip,bud. Happens to us all.
PETEC is still there,just having a wee break. Get yersel’ back pronto!
Teuchter ar la,
Fortunately not. But I can tell you that Dirty Nellie’s pub on the Ipsos strip is run by a Greek guy called Eric and is ably assisted by his young girlfriend Rosa from Utrecht in Holland – who is there for the summer before returning to Rotterdam in the early Autumn to resume her studies. Never met an Irish or Scots person yet!
BOBBY,
I actually think that Theresa May has put together a good Government.
Never forget that I am a Brexiter Big Time.
I did see the Queen give that handshake to her though in the Papers.
And Obviously that is All oblivious to the 70th year of the Creation of Israel.
You are going to have to pay the banks to hold your money soon – like Japan.
The Old School way was save up Money to Buy what you want.
My Mum&Dad and yours done that.
Debt is a control mechanism.
Rewind (who wants it) the tape where the Duke of Kent shakes hands with all (none for the Camera)….. He slips in a Masonic one with Andy – I’m sure Andy would be disgusted by it – if he even knew about it. I agree with what he said that Cameron had the Worst of Jobs ever.
I bet the SNP were Embarrassed.
They Won’t ever be.
Got to sleep.
All the best to Ross County, Aberdeen and Celtic in the stormy waters of the coming season.
Keep your head up bhoys – the real fans of Scottish football are behind you.
Alasdair MacLean,
Yer Team is in Good Hands.
I’m expecting them to be in the European places this coming Season.
Aberdeen will stagnate I reckon, they had their chance and they didn’t have enough to trouble a Troubled Celtic team.
Hearts might overtake Aberdeen with the upward momentum. I’m quietly confident about RC getting better and better.
Death toll in Nice could hit three figures from the look of things.
Latest is 77.
Just the number of virgins in heaven for a suicide bomber,coincidentally.
Boy,are they in for a rude awakening. Bastards.

Bobby – ties in with the Demons I’ve read about/listened about.
Those doing these things are so Brainwashed it is sickening.
Come on the Celts on Saturday.
Be in absolutely No Doubt that the Whole point of this outrage at Islamic Fundamentalism is to make it out as 1 is as Bad as the Other.
i.e. Christians who Believe in the New Testament in these days are the Same as the Nutters Blowing people up.
Welcome to the NEW AGE AGENDA……. 1 is as bad as the other—- the Media will Supply it.

CQN isnae daft.
Just found out My Sons games are going to be played Sunday afternoons – 15 to 16.
First Ever ST for me and him…..
I hope Celtic do the bizz.
The Lord is the ALMIGHTY.
Great options owning a ST

Best hope Celtic aren’t in the EL,in that case.
Kojo was a Great contributor to CQN.
He recognised he waas a Sinner.
annoyed about so much.
The World is on Fire- END TIMES
BOBBY,
The Lord is the Greatest Ever, Ever.
I’m happy to be called a Right Winger now.
I never ever could cross the Ball with my left Foot.
I’m not a Homophobic Racist BTW. Believe that or NOT?
Efe is a better mf than Bitton….imho.
Bitton and Rogic are p#sh….imho.
They keep giving the ball away.
Maybe, CQN will bring books out for them ?
BR should make a statement and get Joe Allen in.
Oh, and don’t miss out on the best rb in Scottish fitba – Calum Paterson of Hertz – get him the noo.
With 2 billionaires on the board and the park sold oot, Joe Allen should be looked upon as a treat for the bewildered Celtic support who’ve been scunnered oot the stadium in recent seasons.
For BR to prove that he’s not a squirrel, he’ll have to be backed.
A hungrier manager would make a guid unit out of the players already there….imho.
The fact that BR is already a £millionaire might blunt his edge.
The fact that no EPL team made a move for him might just work in the Cellic’s favor, a wee bit like the devil biting BR’s erse….imho.
Cifcti(sp) and, Dembele or LG would make a guid front 2 but, like any other strike force, if they don’t get chances to score then they’ll look like squibs.
Still canny understand, BR playing LG out wide the other night ?
A bloke who scores over 40 goals played out wide ?
For a manager who had just watched the entire RD era on dvd then, goes and replicates the formula ?
Something isny right me thinks.
In BR I see an, idealist with puppet-strings.
Over to you Brendan…….
A Word of Advice.

Hundreds, probably thousands, die each and every day as a result of British/Western foreign polices. We sell our armament’s to some of the worlds most despotic regimes who kill innocent civilians at random.
While it is tragic for all those affected in Nice, it’s no more tragic than the atrocity’s being committed throughout the world at this very time.
eddieinkirkmichael,
Yer being a powerful seed Dude.
Thumbsup.
…………………………………………………….
I’m disgusted by the opportunism of the SNP.
I will be Brutally Honest.
You Sir, Like so many on CQN, are Heroic.
And Keep doing what you Do.
Come as ye ur.
It is really Annoying when a person Younger than you, Who OBVIOUSLY wants to make his way up Lies about times he was in Company with Moi for what END?
Time to Confront Liars?
Or should I forgive again?
I’ve had feckers stealing from me (tools).
Forgiveness always the Best option?
I am a Raging fecker – A Celtic dude as far as I know – Lied about the Times – God Only knows WHY.
1 thing you Don’t do Wylie… You Don’t Bear False Witness.

Delighted about this Brexit Conservative Cabinet.
The Clicque is out.
I respect ernie lynch despite him being horrible to all the people he feels are Below him.
Watch the Riot Club. The Dude got Greedy and wanted to maximise profits.
Christ is oot the Windae nooo. I don’t think, going by all the Signs, we are going to continue on for a lot longer.
Anyone who goes Against Israel are in precarious positions. Just My Considered opinion Dudes and Dudettes.
That means Heavy Choices, not yet visible, will have to be made.
Or maybe the choices won’t be available.
ET.

Another morning, another cowardly muslim terrorist attack !!
Thoughts and prayers with the dead and injured in Nice.
Christianity is Always the target.
Fundamental Christianity.
The Dark one, highlighted in Ephesians, hates Christianity and the FREEDOM it gives populaces.
The Good News is there to be Spread to All those coming to the UK. Some People are SICK of people preaching God Stuff. Their issue.
Easy Life – Preaching from my Comfy Chair.
I’m Zilch compared to those going to the most dangerous places ever to Preach the Gospel.
Well if ye get wan Believer I think you get a Brucie Bonus of the Best Room Ever.
I’ll see you.CSC
EDDIEINKIRKMICHAEL
Yes,correct. Inasmuch that if there were no means of killing people,there would be no people doing so.
However,a bomb can be made from very simple everyday things. So that grand plan won’t work either.
So I’ll denounce crimes against humanity when they happen,and you can say we bring it on ourselves,and I guess we’ll each be right in the eyes of some.
I’m not that interested in being right,Eddie. I want it to stop. And I’m not that interested in being righteous either.
BOBBY 4:58,
You know it is just the start.
It is just the Start.
When the Pope and the Orange Order got together to keep the UK together that made sense. o_O
I put up a clip from Bush a Few times on CQN about the Fire in the Minds of Men…. I didn’t envisage what is happening (lol) – I stopped watching all those Conspiracy theorists thangs a while ago.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 15th July 2016 4:58 am
Where do you get that I said “we bring it on ourselves” in my post?
My point is all life is sacred regardless of whether it’s Nice or elsewhere, some on here and elsewhere will use what happened in Nice as justification for the “good guys” to do it to innocent civilians elsewhere.
I don’t know anyone in Nice, probably you don’t either, so what marks out Nice for comment and sympathy as opposed to what happened last night in Yemen.
All those squirrels Neganon goes on about are now running about in gangs attacking people.

We are @ the Endo I reckon. Still plenty Time Howevvaaaaaah before the shutdown.
The divisions are always there.
1 thing is Certain.
ISIS will attack a Fitba Ground this coming Season. I’m Delighted the Celts have bought up All the Seats available – Never a better Time as well.
