The trip to the US to play Real Madrid is core to strategy for Celtic right now. It allowed the significant North American support an easier opportunity to see the team, keeps the club’s profile high among the game movers and shakers and will have contributed valuable financial resources.
You know there’s a ‘but’ coming, don’t you.
Gary Hooper, Anthony Stokes and Daryl Murphy all picked up or aggravated strains on the trip. The players are still stepping up their fitness regimes. Muscles are being stressed, then rested, then stresses a little further. Returning from two lengthy flights with a high incidence of non-contact injuries suggests we need to review how we prepare athletes for travel.
Do you like the new-look Celtic Quick News? Some fundamental changes have engineered into the back-end which should make things more solid going forward. More new features will come on-stream shortly. My enormous thanks to Kev, who designed the template and everything new in the engine room.
Don’t forget, if you have an article in you for CQN Magazine email me: articles@cqnmagazine.co.uk and let me know what you would like to write about. I’ll be able to give you some pointers. Next edition coming soon.

DUSHANBE BHILLY BHOY
So you did a Peter Martin and changed your name to appease a clique?
Mmm are you a …?
An orange away strip?
You have to hand it to our man Charlie – he’s certainly done his homework.
Buffalo Bills Bhoy- any relation to the serial killer in Silence of the Lambs?
The other Buffalo Bill [exterminator of harmless herds of herbivores] converted to Catholicism the day before he died].
A wee bit of detective work to help answer the question of your hunnishness.

If he does introduce orange away strips, then it will be another indicator to his desparation and motives …… I don’t see it happening, since even the bhuns will ‘smell a rat’, who will do anything to get revenue in, and (his) profit out ……… careful, bhuns….naw, on second thoughts, carry on into th (glorious) abyss …….
New lay out is like a new signing.

Rumour on fallow fallow that the bold charles has told someone in the “Great Ticket Queue” that the new away strip will be of orange hue.
Sounds like Jardine is trying to earn his corn.
I’ve just heard Legless has quit the NUJ – leaving an unpaid bill after he was suspended and fined £1000.
What is it with these Huns? I look forward to his lament blaming Peter Lawwell for the situation.

Welcome to Paradise
See Charlie boy playing to the Orcs on the STV news.He must be getting desperate
On the rankers orange away strip….2 threads on this have now been pulled by the ‘administrators’ on FF.
They are commenting on an article on their ‘media partner’ STV’s website quoting the bold charlie:
Charles Green: There is an ‘agenda’ against Rangers in Scottish football
Charles Green has accused Scottish football’s authorities of pursuing an agenda against Rangers.
The chief executive, addressing fans queuing to buy their season tickets on Tuesday, said he intended to continue to defend his club, even if it meant incurring the wrath of the Scottish FA.
Green is already facing a charge for claiming the decision to place Rangers in the Third Division was partly driven by “bigotry” but says he won’t stop speaking his mind.
“We’re not having, excuse my French, people taking the pee out of us anymore,” said Green. “It’s finished.
“I will give you an example. This morning, I had a phone call from the SPL telling us we can’t put our old games on the website because we don’t own the archive rights.
“’And by the way, Charles, don’t get angry. You shouldn’t think we are being vindictive, it’s just what the agreement says”.
“Tell me how I took that? I was walking on the ceiling. I think there is an agenda.
“There’s still battles to be won. I shan’t let you down. I said to someone earlier that when everyone was against us, we stayed. People are now warming to us and we are staying.
“But if we leave fans to one side for a moment, while ever that lot are against us, I’m not leaving. There’s no-one spoke for this club for three or four years. It’s not had anyone standing up.
“I am going to get fined every week, I suspect, or I will get banned.”
Rangers were issued a Notice of Complaint by the Scottish FA late last week regarding Green’s comments, having been accused of bringing the game into disrepute for his remarks.
He said before his side’s Challenge Cup tie with Brechin City: “Some of it has been driven by bigotry, some of its been driven by jealousy and some of its been driven by all the wrong motives.”
The Scottish Premier League was unavailable for comment at the time of publication over Green’s claims regarding archive footage.
Green is getting more rabid by the minute. das hun are fast warming to him, which I am sure is his aim, but he is treading a dangerous path methinks.
Only problem is, we could ALL be in danger, not just this clown.
maybe :oD

Charlie’s desperate right enough. But he is dealing with dunderheads, so his chances of fleecing them of a bit of extra cash are pretty good.
Remember all of their ‘fans’ groups met Craig Whyte at least three times and were backing him after they went into administration. They are not the brightest.
I need to go out out now. Has anybody figured out how to log out of the blog? Or is it just a switch off job?
Buffalo Bills Bhoy
Why did you select that name?
JJ
Buffalo Bill’s Bhoy- I liked Marv Levy as a coach; he worked hard and was very good at his job but still kept sport in proportion.
For any horsey enthusiasts out there, Monday 17th Sept at Musselburgh is free. Just log on to their website and grab 2 tickets. Normally £20 each. I am sure they will sell out the freebies so grab em whilst you can. Limited to 2 per address.
Paul67
Love the new layout.
Hail Hail.
“I have left Kenny Miller out of my squad to face Australia to allow him time to ‘settle in’ at his new club (Vancouver Whitecaps)
“I decided to pick James Forrest + Charlie Mulgrew for my squad knowing that Celtic have an important CL qualifier 1 week later. I would have also picked Scott Brown but unfortunately he got injured and wouldn’t be available”
Craig (I do what my masters tell me) Levein
This is interesting given my suspicion that higher powers are at work.
This is interesting.
I came across this on the What Do They Know Web Site to try and find a previous question and came across this one today. Apologies if its been mentioned but it looks like the issue is still live.

From: Jack McMinigal
14 August 2012
Dear Department for Culture, Media and Sport,
I would like to request copies of information referred
to during the discussions on the subject of football governance
related to Rangers FC on 3rd July 2012 and 10th July 2012, as
mentioned in the formal minutes available at the following link:
http://www.parliament.uk/documents/commo…
The formal minutes of 3rd July 2012 mention that the discussion on
Rangers FC would be continued on 10th July 2012, yet there is no
subsequent mention of this matter in the formal minutes of 10th
July 2012, or any other date.
Yours faithfully,
Jack McMinigal
I see the compliance officer is quick off the mark when dealing with others but not McCoist.
srs,
Thommo, released the leggo result yesterday with a dig about strathclyde polis being corrupt as it took the NUJ to punish him for threatening behaviour whilst the bears in blue refused to take his complaint any further.
I noted big nan having a go at Thommo for having a go at the corrupt polis, distinct smell of bacon.
Really like the new format Paul. Plays nicely on mobile devices too
Green- “Buy thee sen a season book,come on,joost buy a book,al say owt if tha joost buys a book!”
Ten Men
Are those genuine quotes? In any other country I would know you were joking but , as Black`s selection shows, Scotland is not quite like other countries.
JJ
Green is the new Whyte.
I saw the terrible news about Kevjungle’s brother last night but I was unable to post.
My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

What a year so far.
Liquidation for OldRfc and now a Bills fan to poke fun at every week!

God Bless Celtic and the NewEnglandPatriots

Just saw Green on SSN out with the begging bowl regards SB sales
Pity that the vast majority in the queue are buying single tickets for Saturday’s match
They just don’t trust you Charlie Bhoy
Craig Levein seems to have had his brain rearranged in a strange and contradictory manner.
His thinking and utterances are being programmed by someone else.
Either that,or he’s taken leave of his senses and should be replaced forthwith.
