Stiliyan, Henrik, Scott, Brendan, Stoichkov and Mendieta

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I listened to Stiliyan Petrov talk calmly about cancer yesterday, as he sat with Liverpool’s James Milner ahead of your Foundation’s Match for Cancer next month.  Just a few decades ago, his recovery would be considered miraculous.

Cancer will affect one in every two of us.  That rate is higher than ever, as people live longer, but, what was a death sentence all too recently, is now treatable and often curable.

If you have been around CQN for long enough, you will know stories like Stiliyan’s are not always how things conclude.  We have lost too many of our number, and more of our loved ones, to this awful disease.

So the work goes on.  In memory of those we have lost, in appreciation of those who have come through successful treatment, and in that hope that our futures are increasingly spared.  Cancer success stories are one of the wonders of the modern world, and while millions suffer this illness, millions more contribute to the cause of treating and eradicating it.

The game itself will be a gathering of the Celtic clans, not just because of the way this disease has touched so many, but because Henrik will once more grace Celtic Park, as will Lubo, the brilliant Hristo Stoichkov, and the phenomenal Gaizka Mendieta.

Scott Brown will play too and Brendan is manager of Stiliyan’s team.  The great and the good are touched by this affliction, which is rapidly being controlled thanks to the efforts of millions.

The game takes place on Sunday 8 September (it’s an international break).  Tickets cost £14 or £6 concessions.  You can buy them here.

I Look forward to seeing you there.

Welcome to Celtic, Daniel Arzani.  The 19-year-old winger-come-central defender (lighten up, honestly!) arrives on a two year loan, having joined Manchester City a few days ago.

A word of caution – an away game in the League Cup is not the game I would choose to play tomorrow.  Get the job done professionally, Celtic.

    What are you doing still up at this time?

     

     

    My excuse is a horrendous nightshift. But then,so many are!

     

     

    Enjoy the game today,mate. And btw,I’m with you on the youngsters. Nothing gives us more pleasure,yet recent managers seem to have forgotten how to bring them on.

     

     

    Maybe it is the instant gratification era,superstars now or duds forever.

    I could never go the submissive type. Sit in the house or the pub,say eff all. Bored the Nipples off me.

     

     

    I sometimes bit off more than I could chew,right enough!

     

     

    Aye,the wee fella sounds in fine fettle whenever I speak to him. Life a lot easier recently.

    Should’nt complain but often do, lol . Tragic stuff going on everywhere you turn , mother nature taking its toll just about everywhere right now , thats why i love this wee country of mine , so what , we have Orange Walks and Wasps , hopefully thats as bad as it gets .

     

     

    They really get on my nerves , hate them actually , could do without them and that goes for the orange walks too !!

     

     

    When i think about that AC/DC song now , it would sum up ACGR and his type of (size 22 kinda ) wummin ? .

     

     

    Hopefully , me and the Shadow will see you at the next hoot !!

    Re Aretha,I was reminded of her duet with George Michael. Couldn’t remember who wrote it,so googled it.

     

     

    Which took me via various links to

     

     

    http://www.theeuropeans.co.uk/IHR.htm

     

     

    Which is one of the best compilation albums I’ve ever heard.

     

     

    I went to play it last week-and one of the discs is missing. You’ll gather I’m not too chuffed.

    Pencil in 10/11. Not seen you or K for a while so a double pleasure.

     

     

    I’m hoping that’s an international break,otherwise I’ve cocked up again…

    Cheers,me oul’ mucker!

     

     

    That’s me a very happy bunny for once. In fact,I’ll listen to it again-only got it on vinyl which is slightly inconvenient at the moment…

    How many hours to go , Jobo ??, hopefully a good performance whoever takes to the field .

     

     

    Should be a great atmoshere for one reasom or another ????

  32. starry plough on

    I doubt I will get a chance to see the game today, got some family commitments, a full team and a good result would go far to quell the rising tide of dissatisfaction that and a couple of centre halves:))

     

     

    Tell me please that Jason D isn’t the length and breadth of our scouting?

     

     

    Have good day everyone..

    • Won all 6 domestic trophies contested

     

     

    • 80% win rate (96 played, 77 won, 14 drawn, 5 lost)

    Good morning CQN from a wet Garngad

     

     

    David17 great stats in Brendan we trust

     

    We just need a couple maybe 3 more new faces to freshen things up and keep players on their toes.

     

     

    4-1 to the Tic today

    Morning Tims…

     

     

    So who is fighting with whom today…

     

     

    The Big Glasgow clash today, wonder how many if any will be rested before our Europa group qualification tie …

     

     

     

    Izzy back or izzy not, Moussa that is or would you keep him for midweek…

     

     

    Hope KT is fine for today, if he is and Izzy is fit maybe move KT into Central defence, giving us a CD who can use his left peg.

     

     

    And what about Broonie, i would be resting him and Allow Kouassie to partner Ollie, but thats just me…

    We always had difficult games before and after our far travelled European games , Rangers will be travelling to Russia i think , then play us on their return .

     

     

    That in itself should determine what strength both sets of teams have going forward … barring us still having ridiculous amount of injuries to our key players ……hopefully hold onto the stars that are’nt injured .

     

     

    Izzy and Gamboa today , why not a couple of kids on the bench incase we score a few and can relax a bit .

    Most of the bhoys who failed in Athens will want to make amends today.

     

     

    I think we will have 8 or 9 regulars.

     

     

    We cannot make amends for Athens today but we can stem the flow of bad blood and bad results.

     

     

    Thistle were a Premiership club last year and we have often struggled against them so we should not expect a 5:0 type of game.

     

     

    However we should expect a reaction in terms of effort and intent.

     

     

    We need this

    You are so right about Celtic producing our own kids. I’m sure they are there.

     

     

    I thought Every Celt produced performed well on Tuesday. That is our Future.
