When the Champions League draw was made, I feared we would face Anderlecht at home on the final game after five defeats. This would not necessarily have been the end of our interest in European football, but it would have damaged the momentum in the club in recent months.
You will remember, ahead of match day five, we discussed that the Anderlecht-Bayern Munich game was probably more important to our season than the PSG-Celtic game. As it transpired, Bayern’s second half winner made all the difference to the second half of our season.
News last night that Celtic are the only group stage qualifier from the Champions Pot to still be in European competition offer some comfort; outcomes could have been a lot worse.
While European football is the custard in our doughnut, all I hear from is Celtic fans who are grateful it is over for a couple of months. We have an unbeaten record to further and two games a week until the January break.
It can be pretty horrible, a huge club stuck in a minor league without competition, but it offers us respite, an opportunity to recharge, experiment and return afresh.

Gooooood Morning CQN
And a
Very very Hooooopy Birthday to that CRC
Enjoy your dhay CRC
Take care this morning on your drive north and also best of luck to young KatieRollercoaster
Hail Hail
Bobby – shouting louder seems to the en vogue. But in the end it just makes you tired.
VFR,
Apologies….have now read back.
Thanks for the pointers last night everyone….for the Clydebank documentary.
While I knew – in no detail – about Clydebank being bombed, I am now much more aware /
better educated than I was yesterday. I will also read back in more detail as I see a lot of personal knowledge has been added here.
Cheers.
The lurkintim.
I tried to call a couple of times but the nr I called wasn’t recognised. Regarding the BV anyone can come,you don’t need to have grey hair,but the table is booked up I believe,you can always come in the BV will be opened to all.
Morning all.
Dawn brought an unusual sight here: Cumbrae covered in a light sprinkling of snow. Then it disappeared in a snow shower. Now the sun is shining brightly. Weird weather.
Work Christmas lunch and afternoon out today. But I’m flying Hamburg at 6 am tomorrow.
I feel like Derek McInnes weighing up an offer from his dysfunctional, pretendy boyhood heroes….
BROGAN ROGAN TREVINO AND HOGAN
Wee donation made.
The Huns statement is incredible, essentially saying that McInnes isn’t up to the job because he turned it down.
McInnes is between a rock and a hard place of his own choosing, many Aberdeen fans don’t want him anymore and consider him a failure anyway, especially in light of the two capitulations against the Huns and the Huns support didn’t want a Timmy sounding (and apparently an uber Tim) assistant manager called Doherty at SEVCO.
The SMSM will toe the PR lie over the next few days, no doubt.

After 21 years, Stuart Cosgrove and Tam Cowan have relinquished their claim to be the most petty and ill-informed and now pass that title to Jim Traynor.

Thanks for the account of the Clydebank Blitz, very informative.
Isn’t Derek McInnes actually a Morton fan?

Isn’t Derek McInnes actually a Morton fan?
—————————————————————————–
First and foremost he is an Andrew Considine fan.
I mean why else would he continue to play the big dumpling?
Who would win in a fight between a Concomitant and a Sevcomitant?
If you’ve a spare 10 mins to…erm…spare, then type “concomitant” and “masons” into Google.
It’s quite funny to see Jabba’s pathetic attempt to out-Alisdair Johnston Alisdair Johnston.

One of the unmentioned sub-texts of the McInnes snub and the Sevco statement (ha, ha, ha …) is that it means they don’t have to buy any players in January.
With no new manager in place it will be spun that there was no sense in buying players when there was no manager. Even if they get someone in, the spin will be that there was no time to assess the squad and start the re-build!
Sleekit doesn’t even scratch the surface!

Davidopoulos,
Ha !
Mibbees he’s hoping a silver sixpence will fall out of his bahook..?
Good morning Bhoys from a snow covered central Éire.
To OldTim and all have a great day in BV. I really enjoyed my hour or so on Tuesday evening before the Anderlecht game. Great company with a good bunch of Tims.
I’m off to Belfast tomorrow with herself to go and see Mrs Browns Boys. I’ll be in the famose Rock Bar early on Sunday for the Celtic v Hibs game.

Is that “Deek the Sneak” article for real on CQN? If so, it is in very poor taste. Disappointed.
He endured his impecuniosity, with all of its concomitant humiliations, with the same discomiture as a church elder of hitherto impeccable reputation, exposed before the congregation naked, but for his soiled, sullied underwear.
It’s that time of year when we get to hear about the state of Scottish roads from Mr Stein Connolly.
Nae wonder the huns get a touch paranoid.
LYNCHIEBHOY.
You can rest assured that we will have a good time today (and night) for some of us.
Thanks for the best wishes for the day.
Breaking News
Kilmarnock “striker” Kris Boyd has been sent home from training today and excused from playing tomorrow on compassionate grounds.
Manager Steve Clarke said he realised immediately that he had lost his captain for the weekend when he switched on Sky Sports at teatime yesterday.
It’s too early to say if Boydy will be available for selection next weekend. It may hinge on whether or not Alex McLeish is coming out of hibernation.
ERNIE LYNCH
And a fine Dumbarton mhan he is too.
Whither the cash strapped scrofulous hillbillies the day?
Those Concomitant boys are pretty freaky

Liked this from yesterday’s La Repubblica –
” We Italians should be grateful for Trump and Brexit . The former makes Berlusconi look like a Statesman and the latter makes our Government look like something that knows what it is doing . . I remember watching a BBC programme called Monty Python and really not getting it –I now realise it was preparing me for the wonderful experience of watching David Davis — Brexit Minister –.. What did the Brits do to deserve the likes of him determining their future ? ”

So when the dust has settled Celtic has won the League Cup, Qualified for the CL Groups, Qualified for UEFA and maintained an unbeaten run domestically through season 2017/8 so far.
I realise that some on here expect a lot better. For me with only 16 countries represented in post xmas European Club Football and countries like Holland, Poland, Belgium and Croatia not represented and with it being just the 7th time in 38 years Celtic has been in Europe after xmas I have quite a good feeling about things Celtic. Despite Tuesday’s poor showing.

Is that a Cluedo question ?

” Finally looks like the real talks are about to begin .To dates it’s been a tragi -comedy .. Like watching Real Madrid playing a team of unfit amateurs who haven’t even thought about a game plan .”

You may have low expectations. I demand more.
Of course a win on Sunday and it’ll be forgotten about.:-)
