Delighted for Aberdeen, winning away from home in Croatia is no mean feat for a Scottish club, but a 0-3 result, anywhere, is a special result. None of the other 32 away teams could manage so much as a two goal win.
The Inverness defeat on their maiden European performance was pity, if not a surprise. Winning your home game is regarded as the Cardinal Rule in Europe, but they have a puncher’s chance next week in Romania. Score the opening goal and it’s anyone’s game.
Today’s draw for the Champions League 3rd round qualifier has the potential to get a bit tasty. There are plenty of potential opponents from northern Europe with trips to Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark all possible, while Celtic are the only seed from northern Europe. Hopefully Uefa, in their keenness for geographical neighbourliness, don’t feel the need to send us to Israel, Poland or Serbia. If we take care of Stjarnan, of course.

For any gowfers up and about, those who didn’t get their round completed yesterday due to the late start at the Open are finishing off early this morning, and there’s live coverage on BBC 2 just now, replacing the advertised ‘Master of Ballantrae’.
Wind howling, so makes it more interesting.
Hail Hail!
Team for tonight will be along the lines of,
Bailly
Fisher, Efe, VVD, Muldini
Henderson, Broonie
Janko, Rogic, Stokes
Scepovic

Golf was on but now looks like getting called off. Too windy!
The Gowf?
……utter madness.
Wind so strong up in St. andrew’s that the balls are moving on the putting greens while the player is addressing the ball. As it’s a foul stroke if that happens, they’re considering whether the 11th green, very exposed to the elements, should be deemed unplayable. How does that work for the scoring?
Pundit talking about the strong wind changing the local topography. . . . . Not a word you’ll hear often from The experts on Supersevcoboard I would imagine.
Play suspended at the pitch and putt in fife because of a light breeze. What a bunch of softies they are. Meanwhile, Im off to put a card in on god’s holy green grass.
Pro players are such pansy asses.
Shady, good to hear from you bro. You gave us one of the best tunes in my time on this blog.

Well, that answers my question! Could be heading for a Monday finish at this rate. Wind not due to abate much till late afternoon.
Time this sport moved into the 21st Century and they got a retractable roof like Wimbledon!
ACEILERGONOFRUST
Predicted wind speed is similar in St Andrews and Carnoustie. Fill yer pockets wi miniatures to anchor yourself down.

But what’ll he do at the second hole when they’re empty?
Is our game tonight on Premier Sports?
BobM, good advice, might get the young feller on the taxi duty for that to work oot. Play isnay suspended here until beatbhoy sais it is.
Windy in Carnoustie, who would have thought that was possible.
Good morning CQNers,
Some while ago someone posted a link to the story of Duffy’s Cut and I read with interest this morning the culmination, in part, of the story.
The remains of one of the victims, Catherine Burns, have been shipped home and her funeral mass and interment will happen tomorrow at St Patrick’s Church, Clonoe.

He’s a shrewdly,is ACGR.
He’ll think of an ingenious method of refilling them.
I hear they are considering playing the Open Golf Championship in Spain next year, instead of Troon the home of the ‘horizontal trees.’
HH!!

Happy birthday. Great presents. Have a brilliant day.
Enjoy your extended weekend.
Remember when Simon was playing Garfunkel at Muirfield, and the big guy hit a hole in one at the par 5.
Wee Paul wis ragin’ and shouted:
“Hell, Condor! Bassa!”
The rest is history.
Golf at Deaconsbank later this morning, where the weather will be sunny and dry. But the ground will be like quicksand.

The most moving version of this song I’ve ever heard is by The Cast (Mairi Campbell and Dave Francis), on an album called “The Winnowing” – it’s well worth tracking the album down, if you like their version of “Kilkelly”.
Here’s a “You Tube” link to the track:

Warbo building a team to be feared apparently haha
Wilson – Liverpool reject
Keirnan – rejected from about every club in England
The keeper- that good he was subbed after 32mins of a Swindon game and I can’t even remember his name.
A couple of youths
The only people who should be in fear are the orcs
@Bobby 4.30am Clicked on the link you posted …Wow first time I’ve heard that ..
Astonishing,The song itself is a work of art ,and to the creator of the video ..well

Had not heard that version so thanks for posting it.
Made me greet…..good start to the weekend! lol
..perhaps the “windy” conditions and cessation of all things gowf will tempt Shortie to give some positive prominence to the Celtic…………..?

Spot on. And still the myths and fantasies are being peddled by the media and Sevco themselves.
Here’s a couple of things I wrote on this yesterday.

Thanks,lads. But,shameless though I normally am,I canny take the credit for it. It was a reply to LEFTCLICKTIC. He deserves all the praise,along with SHADY.
Can somebody not just put their hand on the golf ball to stop it blowing away and thus giving the player time to whack it like they do at the fitba?
Morning all.
Wild, wet, windy but brightening down here.
Many happy returns to the Birthday Bhoys.
Have always loved the Open Championship since I was a wee wee bhoy. Hope the weather calms down so that the masters can demonstrate their class.
When I was at high school there was an annual golf trip to St Andy’s were the howling wind was always the great leveller on competition day. Still, it was there that I hit my first and only eagle at a par four.
Apparently you’re no allowed to hit endangered species like that…

Belter,isn’t it? Have a grand day,mate. Wear that top wi extra-special pride.
Oh and its sunny and getting warm down in London this morning, but I think id rather have the rain up there.
