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
If you would like to read the new CQN Magazine, GO HERE to read properly, and for FREE, the graphic below is just a taster.

Spot on. I can understand the pro Sevco agenda of the rags as Media House are very good at what they do.
What I don’t get is the way we accept the anti Celtic stuff. Half truths, innuendo, and outright lies.
Who are the pro Celtic journalists?

Doc
So in order to find out who’s in the squad or who’s injured, we have to put up with eg yesterday’s front page banner negativity about the GB?
aye well …..an oor in front of God,s country …so I,ll bid you all goodnight…..braw
Would it be to much to ask Celtic Football Club if they could let us know were and when the reserves are playing, I noticed to- night that they were playing at the almondvale stadium in Livingston, were I stay. it would have been good to know from celtic fc , as I would have went down to see the youths,

From last night, I went to the pit.
Unfortunatly the blog is really no that interested in the real fight.
The sfa are still doing what they do best, sfa, they are still running the show their way, and we are still bending over getting shafted.
The expression ” It hurts so Good ” comes to mind.
Still paying in to a corrupt game, when will the penny drop mi amigo ?
When they are back in the top league and winning stuff with the help of the cheats with the whistles, possibly…….but it will be a new generation, a generation that are going to fight their way from the back of the bus, just like our forefathers did, just like we are trying to do, it’s never ending.
It could be stopped, but I see no desire to even try and halt the continuing agenda against us.

Excellent post – Germany is a great country and in many ways much more liberal, tolerant and forward thinking than most European countries, Britain included.

Doc, the zombie club have Irvine controlling everything that is disseminated to the gullible Scottish public. I see no reason why we (Celtic) “need” entertain old style media any longer?
We should have been out of sight of the dead / now zombified remains of the hun but our failure to cut our ties with the past, and publicly state the old firm is a historical relic is dragging us back into the cesspit.
Get them out of paradise and bring in new media savvy experts, it’s not like we’re short of money.
Starry plough is Neil Lennon, thanks but starry they tell you after the score were they were playing. and that’s were I get frustrated, anyway thanks again.

Ha, I like to think I know a thing or two about a wee gamble on football, in reality I know feck all.
In the past couple of weeks the wife has scooped a couple of trebles just going by teams starting with………whatever took her fancy.
The only thing I would know about horses, the eat at one end, and shit at the other, just the way I like it, have enough bother with the football >}
Best of when Chelt comes around, had a decent first day last year mind you, done a acca from all the pundits I could find, whittled them down to who was tipped the most, and lo and behold, got it up, no the biggest return in the world, but paid a bill or two.

Nah,mate.
The Soviet Union gave us the delights of totalitarian East Germany which needed a wall to keep it`s citizens in.
U.S. and U.K. provided the Berlin airlift as the Soviets attempted to starve West Berlin into submission. U.S.provided the Marshall plan.
Thanks to Reagan and Thatcher and star wars,Gorbachev bowed to the inevitable and Germany was reunited IN SPITE of the Soviets and the Warsaw Pact.
I purposely haven`t mentioned the rape of Berlin. :-(

Yes, I’ve sent a team which is my best of the last ten years and it was fun putting it together.
Thanks to all who pulled the details together.
I’m only sorry that a captain was deemed surplus to requirements because every good team has always had a brammer.
JackieMac is my team’s skipper.

Ah Germany is a wonderful place. Trust me. I love it. However, you are being your usual disingenuous self by alluding to that it is thanks to Britain and USA that its such a wonderful place. Naw it izny. Its thanks to the obliteration of Nazism by the Soviet Union.
