I was a bit annoyed at BT’s halftime analysis which suggested Celtic were more than fortunate to be level at that stage. Salzburg had just enjoyed their best 15 minute period of the game, but, from beginning to end, Celtic’s performance was a textbook lesson on how to play away from home in Europe. We took our chances and drew our defensive line well in front of our box. This is how it’s done.
Were you as comfortable as I was during the final minutes last night?
Having watched the performance against Aberdeen on Saturday, when we bossed the game but were penned back when, with two debutants and a returning Scott Brown in the team, the legs faded in the last 30 minutes, I expected the same to happen last night.
Instead, Scott’s goal arrived on 60 minutes, which infused Celtic legs with adrenalin. This was the crucial moment of the game. We conceded that fabulous goal from Soriano during the final 30 minutes, but this was also our best period of the game. Wakaso (who is a player, b.t.w.) ran himself into the ground – literally. Brown, Johansen, Izaguirre and Ambrose all covered enormous areas of the pitch.
Instead of going through turmoil in the closing stages, we saw Salzburg drop deep, acknowledging the clear danger they could concede for a third time.
The one obvious question is, how did we pick Craig Gordon up for free?
Brand Britain
Brand Britain is damaged. Last night’s vote was a high water mark for independence, so far, but the demographic breakdown suggests support for change is strongest among the young. If the three major UK parties have any intention of maintaining the status quo they need to indulge in considerable Nation Building.
The football business in Britain is in the hands of two closed-shop cartels, one in England and Wales [controlled by the affluent], and one in Scotland [controlled by the unambitious]. This arrangement has disenfranchised Scottish football and drains our economy of tens of millions of pounds per year. It is a clear manifestation of second class status for Scotland and our economy, which is unacceptable for anyone who considers the UK to be one nation.
Politicians with an interest in pushing the buttons of the people, should use this time to call this arrangement out for what it is.

Music stuff and no apologies for that!
A wee favourite of mine and I do like to post songs with particular meaning, some of our bloggers have had a hard time debating with folk who only want to divide us, some are taken in and argue get angry and leave for a while. I love all of you, all the Celts that are the cause and effect for whatever reasons. This is also more importantly for the CQNers who have lost dear ones, the time when I think we are at our very best, I hope you like this video of an Ode to Our Family;

SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance is a non-fiction book by University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and The New York Times journalist Stephen J.

think so, tomahawk was a wee grifter I think fir the younger ones…
Griffiths is not good enough. That’s before even looking at his ‘lifestyle’.
Guernica,
His goalscoring record proves otherwise in the SPL.
This team has a long way to go before we can think about making advances in Europe.
I want to see Celtic getting a solid footing domestically.
We might move on from that.
Given a chance,and he should be,Griffiths will easily score goals for Celtic in this League.
Best (value) concert. Strathclyde Union 1975.
Nils Lofgren and Joan Armitrading and The Movies.
50p a ticket if I remember correctly.

TSOAL & BT
Had forgotten about the tomahawk . It was a big thing round our way when one of the boys got a chopper, we all got a go , pestered my dad for one , no luck.
Always smile when someone uses the expression , it’s just like riding a bike, some of us didn’t get a chance.

He scores some goals for sure. As does Stokes. Neither are good enough above SPL level.
Indeed, neither are much better than Miller and Boyd.
I want us to aim higher.
Give Scepovic and Guidetti time. Better players and I’m sure they will score enough to see us comfortably win the SPL.
We are trying to move forward.
We have a progressive manager, a well respected number 2, a fine goal-keeping coach, a new ‘analyst’ and Jim McGuinness in as a sports psychologist.
This is an entire shift of culture.
I want to back it cos it the alternative is remaining in the dark ages.
ACGR, good to hear Miss ACGR is okay buddy.
See you tomorrow.
Macanbheatha,
Did you get yer son sorted for tomorrow?
Great to see NFL looking so relaxed. Must be nice when the worst thing in your mail is spam.
