Sunshine getting through

885

The sun is shining on Celtic Park as the Easter weekend gets underway, while Celtic face Motherwell tomorrow, who look like they have discovered the limits of Stuart McCall’s managerial abilities this spring.

After some difficult news this week, here’s a ‘Happy Birthday CQN’ message from Wee Oscar, which he recorded last month; an even bigger ray of sunshine than the one beating down on Scotland.

Enjoy the break, if you’re getting one.

    You should have learned to paint by numbers…

  2. Summa…..

     

     

    If what Pat Nevin’s claims to be an intellectual footballer are true then the human gene pool is doomed,if he is a measure of high intellect.

     

     

    It’s all relative I suppose when you compare him to most footballers,but he is a guy of very average intelligence pretending to be more clever than what he is.

     

     

    More faces than a town hall clock,too.

  3. BMCUWP…..

     

     

    Late 80s…….

     

     

    We must have met or at least bumped into each other at some point.

     

     

    There were some serious dudes in there mate.Some of them were nice guys,too.

    The wicked thoughts went out the window when she went in there-I just need to use their toilet-and took up the offer of her bloke and her staying for a wee drink.

     

     

    Every bloody week.

     

     

    They were replaced by thoughts of a more prosaic kind,like-sod this,I’m off.

     

     

    Seriously naive. You wouldn’t believe the job she had,btw.

     

     

    My own fault,I should have known how stupid she was when she agreed to go out wi me in the first place!

    Oh,yeah. Some seriously nice guys.

     

     

    They could afford to be.

     

     

    The 30 year younger versions riding shotgun,not so much.

    Coming to that time of the day where thoughts are elsewhere.

     

     

    Catch you later,folks.

     

     

    Pleasure as always.

  8. Was talking to my mate from Glesga last night and he just triggered a memory.

     

     

    I forgot how bad a record Celtic had in League Cup Finals under my hero big Jock.

     

     

    Was it a case of ‘honest mistakes’ being easier to make in one off games or just that the big man didn’t take winning the tournament very seriously?

  9. Regards the “Liquidation”thing.As someone alluded to earlier,if it WAS the company that was liquidated,and not the club,why did the innocent club suffer any repercussions.Surely when a new company then took the club over,it should have carried on as before in the SPL.By this logic,the club would not have been responsible for debts,lies,tax evasion.Equally,the new company would have been innocent of all these things as well.The culprits would have been the old company.No one else.

     

    It does seem so simple you would have thought someone would be going crazy about this shocking injustice,and would have dragged the SFA,SPL,through every court in the land.

     

    Or is someone just making up the “Same club”story.

     

    I am at my wits end with this miscarriage of justice.

     

     

    ANGRY FROM TURKEYCSC.

  10. League Cup Finals under big Jock…..

     

     

    Won 5 on the bounce then lost 7 out of 8…..

     

     

    Did he get bored of this tournament?

    song for the dayshift (part 2)

     

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-OytmtYoOI

     

     

    Kicking around on a piece of ground

     

    In your home town

     

    Waiting for someone or something

     

    To show you the way

     

     

    Tired of lying in the sunshine

     

    Staying home to watch the rain

     

    You are young and life is long

     

    And there is time to kill today

     

     

    And then the one day you find

     

    Ten years have got behind you

     

    No one told you when to run

     

    You missed the starting gun

     

     

    And you run and you run

     

    To catch up with the sun

     

    But it’s sinking

     

     

    Racing around

     

    To come up behind you again The sun is the same

     

    In a relative way

     

    But you’re older

     

    Shorter of breath

     

    And one day closer to death

     

     

    Every year is getting shorter

     

    Never seem to find the time

     

     

    Plans that either come to naught

     

    Or half a page of scribbled lines

     

     

    Hanging on in quiet desperation

     

    Is the English way

     

     

    The time is gone

     

    The song is over

     

    Thought I’d something more to say

     

     

    Home

     

    Home again

     

    I like to be here

     

    When I can

     

     

    When I come home

     

    Cold and tired

     

    It’s good to warm my bones

     

    Beside the fire

     

     

    Far away

     

    Across the field

     

    Tolling on the iron bell

     

    Calls the faithful to their knees

     

    To hear the softly spoken magic spell…

     

     

    what an time we are living in ……….respect ………braw

  12. So the players have named their team of the season.Seems that Shinnie was better than Lustig

     

    Reynolds better than Efe

     

    Pawlett better than Broonie.

     

     

    ????????????????????.Just who were these guys playing against this season?.

  13. Mea Culpa @ 1407

     

     

    Like the alternative approach. Since the SFA/SPL didn’t and cannot demote a club three divisions then the club that entered the bottom division MUST be a new club.

     

     

    The preponderance of evidence m’lud..

     

    Beyond a reasonable doubt m’lud.

     

    On the balance of probabilities m’lud.

     

     

    or

     

     

    any standard you care to apply*.

     

     

    *NB. Doesn’t apply to SFA/SPFL/SMSM/those who live in a wee bubble.

  14. great time to be a celt

     

     

    we have good team with lots of talent, we are going for four in a row, we have a black bank balance and can see lots of investment in and around our stadium (doon celtic park today and the place is looking very good)

     

     

    for those concerned about sevco: all official paperwork relating to rangers state incorporated the ranger 2012. no amount of spin can alter that and I am sure my fellow celtic fans will ensure they never forget. the board may have to play the political game but remember celtic is us and we don’t have to play any games

  15. Some info ghuys looking for an hotel for the Hootenanny 2 nights heard the Merchant City Inn mentioned but checked it out and it has some pretty varied feedback. Appreciate comments from CQNers who have stayed there. Hail Hail Hebcelt

  16. Just popped in to ask if Paul67’s view that calling Sevco by their died club name is acceptable because Airdrie Utd are now called Airdrieonians?

     

     

    Airdrieonians were only afforded the opportunity to rebrand as Airdrieonians after 12 years as Airdrie United due to rule bending to accommodate Sevco as a reforming of the died club name.

     

     

    Anyone and everyone who perpetuates and attempts to mislead us by using Airdrieonians as an example to afford the died club their old name should apply to be renamed DYNAMO!

     

     

    MWD says YES

  17. hebcelt

     

     

    BMCUW is the mhan to ask regarding a hotel room for the Hootenanny.

     

     

    I, and several others, have rooms booked for the night in the hotel you mention.

     

     

    Well I think it is that hotel!

    …………………..

     

     

    The answer is that there are two distinct narratives for this scenario…

     

     

    1) The rest of the sensible world knows that the new club was forced to enter the league in the bottom tier because the previous club was liquidated and ceased to exist.

     

     

    2) In planet Sevco/Newco/BFDJ et al, the old club were relegated – yes RELEGATED to that division as a punishment for unspecified misdemeanours, and more, they were unfairly relegated as part of a conspiracy which they didn’t deserve.

     

     

    This lie in option 2) is perpetuated in Newco’s PR, in SMSM, in SFA and SPFL blurbs(when they talk about how many trophies the current club have won etc).

     

     

    I live in the USA and a neighbor(u)r across the street fancies himself as part Scots and knowledgeable about soccer(football). He spoke to me last week and actually said “Celtic need R******, I mean since R****** were relegated there’s no competition”. Verbatim quote from someone 3000 miles away who has been fed that line as factual.

     

     

    The lie is promulgated due to a confluence of interests. The SFA, the SPFL, the SMSM, Newco itself, a substantial core of their fans and maybe, just maybe some others….all have something to gain by this rubbish being perceived as factual.

     

     

    Gutless and compliant media, with honourable exceptions such as Jim Spence, have refused to print the truth, or at best fudge the issue when asked explicitly.

     

     

    This is Scotland and Scottish Football.

     

     

    Come back Henry McLeish

  19. I love this part of rangers media

     

     

    Fat Sally, fat tramp, McSCIAF, and other highly offensive terms. I don’t care what you think of our manager, these terms are simply unacceptable. I’m not asking everyone to call him Super Ally, but just have some respect. Frankly, anyone using a name for our manager that comes from celtc fans wants to take a long, hard look at themselves.

    I stayed at the MCI on CQ10 night and found it perfectly acceptable. They were obviously doing some renovation works as the entrance and reception area had some building materials and scaffold about, but the room I had on the ground floor was spotless, comfortable and had a clearly brand new bathroom. Cooked breakfast pretty decent too. Terrific value.

    Celtic: Leigh Griffiths has future at club – Neil Lennon

     

     

    Celtic manager Neil Lennon is confident striker Leigh Griffiths will remain at the club next season.

     

    The SFA charged Griffiths over footage of him singing a song calling former Hearts player Rudi Skacel “a refugee”.

     

    The police are also investigating and Lennon said he would educate the striker on appropriate conduct.

     

    “We will do all we can to help him along. He knows now there is a responsibility to the way he behaves,” said Lennon.

     

    Video also emerged of the 23-year-old striker chanting about the possible liquidation of Hearts.

     

    Griffiths has already been disciplined internally by Celtic and the player has apologised to the Edinburgh club.

     

    “There is no question he has a few issues that we all have in our private life,” added Lennon. “He has been open and frank about it with me.

     

    “At times, I think he gets antagonised by people and he just needs to learn to take a deep breath and walk away.”

  22. Just watched the Tommy Sheridan speech from the other night in Cumbernauld. Very inspiring.

     

    He now has me thinking about going home if Scotland votes for Independence….

  23. Anyone see any parallels between Minty and Fat Boab Maxwell,who didn’t return from some deep sea fishing?

     

     

    Massive hole in a pension fund within a company who have an HQ in Charlotte Square Edinburgh,from what I’ve been hearing………

     

     

    David better be careful not to go white water rafting with the Charity thieves to Idaho.

  24. Prodigal Tim…..

     

     

    Tommy Sheridan……

     

     

    Inspiring?

     

     

    You’re engaging your tongue firmly in cheek……right?
