Anthony Stokes started the season with a flurry, scoring four goals in the first three league games of the season, but he managed just another three goals before the arrival of Leigh Griffiths two weeks ago. He has since scored against Aberdeen in the Cup as well as Sunday’s hat-trick against St Johnstone.
Three goals in 28 appearances is a desolate return for a Celtic striker, especially during a season where the team have been so dominant, and would have contributed to Neil Lennon insisting a striker, capable of scoring regularly in the league, was recruited in January. Managers often talk about needing competition for places, so it’s natural that we should extrapolate from the arrival of Griffiths. While we may see both strikers play together between now and the end of the season I’m not convinced the manager will have this pairing in his mind for next season.
A generous CQN’er, who would like to remain below radar, has offered £1000 sponsorship of the CQteN Dream Team, if 125 people submit a team. The Dream Team is your chance to select your team from those who have played 10 or more games during the CQN decade.
Select 11 players in either a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formation; you’ll need a goalkeeper, two full backs, two central defenders, 3 or 4 midfielders and 2 or 3 forwards. You also need to select a manager from the decade.
The team judged as the strongest will be announced at the CQteN St Patrick’s Dinner on 14 March. The event is open to bloggers and lurkers but you can only enter ONCE. Closing date is 3pm, Sunday 9 March. There will be prizes!!
So far around 60 people have entered teams so we have lots to do to hit the £1000 target. For a comprehensive list of players who are eligible for selection, see CRC’s comment here. Email your entry to Doc here, and remember to include a manager: doccqten@gmail.com

Cheers Hamiltontim, that would appear to be the best option. I’m not the best with Computers but I’ll get someone to do it for me.
p.s, We are 3 up now Herron.
The old Soviet National Anthem was outstanding, the French anthem also very good.
Deutschland Uber Alles the best of them all though.
Mon the Leo..
Btw there is no way on gods earth emdae will work out what song it is

So Sevco 5088 own the Big Hoose, Sevco Scotland own the illegally acquired licence?
Our hero owns 5088 and that’s why the the the Rangers are toxic?

Absolutely….been banging this drum since it all began.
Only thing missing is/will be that Ticketus have a fixed charge on the “blood and bones” of Craigie bhoy.
The only winners have been Green, McCoist, Khan, the liquidators and the players, …….everyone else has been humped. hehehe……
Football now:
Griffith is more mobile/agile than Stokes
Griffith and Watt next season
Nothing wrong with Balde or Pukki, they need to be deployed properly (cue NFL)

Telt ye……hehe
Demichelis widnae get a game for us
Well done 16 roads-fair play to ye and your 4-1.
John Fleck look out Messi is coming…
glasstwothirdsfull- :)
Lol took that Messi bet @ 19/4 almost 5/1.
Terrible refereeing there……free kick ignored for Citeh,then Barca get penalty from a foul outside the box.
0-1 to Barca :)
So much for the EPL
City have two left backs. Take one of them off.
It’s funny I’d never rated that Messi because he’d never scored in England.
Macjay-would give benefit to the forward but was tight
Michalus was always City’s weakness
@16 roads great bet.

Thanks mate, worth a wee score, £115 back off it.
Thanks again. :)
Barca got 16 on the park now….
16 roads-
19/4-even better!
Re anthems-the Italian Fratelli d’Italia’s a belter too.
WW11 posters.
Stalin needed no reason for slaughter.
He,I am led to believe ,murdered more Soviet citizens than any other nationality.
Accurate numbers,of course ,are hard to verify.

Forgot about the Italian anthem mate, great shout.
Best Citeh can do now is hold the 0-1, and go for it in Nou Camp with 11 v 11.
1-1 would be a tremendous result for 10 men if they could sneak one.
Reckon the 2nd leg could be a cracker.
16 roads – Wee Oscar the Celtic warrior.

Petec – The future’s bright comrade.
The only thing I worry about is that other clubs keep trying to buy our best footballers, it’s frustrating for the manager because he is trying to build.
Football is like that these days though, we do the same to less wealthy clubs.

Yip also a goodun.
Australian anthem isn’t the worst in the world either to be honest.
Alves misses. James F would have casually side-footed that one past the keeper.
Can’t think of a worse football pundit than Andy Townsend.
He is a tit.
Overstating the obvious is a well paid job when he’s around.
One thing to be aware of when printing tickets at home.
The ticket must be folded ensuring the bar code can pass through the computerised reader, Sometimes this can prove problematic and the stewards then direct you to the ticket office. Not good if you are in a rush. To anybody thinking of doing this,gIve yourself plenty of time.
