Home games against St Johnstone, Hearts and Aberdeen after facing Albion Rovers in Airdrie isn’t the most taxing period for a Celtic defender, but it would be churlish not to recognise Dedryck Boyata’s form.
The Belgian central defender has been assured and confident. His pace halted a sprightly Hearts attack and an ability to elevate his considerable bulk into the air produced the only goals against St Johnstone and Aberdeen. Without him our attempt on the world record for consecutive league wins may be over.
Is he the genuine article? Maybe. What we can say for sure is that he’s not the bomb-scare he was the previous two years.
It should be no surprise we missed so many chances last night, we were without four of this season’s top five goal-scorers – surely some kind of record?
Great for those who stepped forward when needed, Dedryck in particular, but I’ll be pleased to Leigh, or Moussa, or Tom, or Stuart back for St Johnstone on Sunday.

PS.
The manager of the year will be any one who manages a team that beats Celtic just once.
Currently the front runner is Inverness manager for that magnificent draw.
In the Q&A responses by Warburton he mentions the “magnificent history” of the club.
With a history like theirs of discrimination, deceit and deception you would think the last thing they would want is to lay claim to it.
When the word “fair” entered the football rules lexicon a clash of cultures was inevitable.

They are hoping for planning permission very shortly. Pittodrie is a millstone round their neck,apparently,and cannot be expanded.
The fans aren’t exactly dead chuffed. It’s a move equivalent to ours to Robroyston. But it’s do or die.
Congrats on the renewal of your licence. Hope you can manage a flier to Lisbon.

A very “Frank” reply.
Yes ity was me. I was reading back and saw Dallas Dallas ask about the racing club trip. I also remembered that your name was the same as the man who ran holiday enterprises. I put two and two together and came up with four for once in my life.
There was a funny story about him chasing planes n one of Gerry McNee’ s books. You have probably read it but if not I will post it up. It involved your dad phoning a guy to get more planes.

You’re an oul’ union fella. Fair in football is like reasonable re overtime.
Words which mean nothing.

Thanks, I did chase them on Wednesday but they were gone before I got through. Still looking. HH

BRTH is rueing the day oldtim found out about his dads travel agent expertise ☘️☘️
Is St Johnstone selling tkts to Celtic fans,for Sunday’s game.

And you’ll never walk alone by Gerry McNee was written in our living room more or less. I actually don’t have a copy of the book anymore and am looking for an old copy from somewhere.
I am currently converting a whole load of old slides which were taken in Lisbon, Argentina and elsewhere into digital photographs – and I am sure there are more to come out of the woodwork or a big cupboard somewhere.
I have also recently been approached by the guys who are looking to recreate the Hillman Imp journey of the late great John Quinn as they are looking for some business help with the documentary and because JQ was “Uncle John” to me and I spent many happy holidays with him and his family as a nipper – so I have a few tales re John.
BT — as I have said before it is more than possible that Old Tim and Malorbhoy will be the end of me!!
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS:
I thought it had approval. Lisbon is a possibility but it would just be an overnighter if it happens.
I see snapchat is worth £20 billion. What price cqn?

Wouldn’t it be terrible to see Souness throw his life savings into that bottomless pit and lose the lot? Terrible……

I would bet that BRTH senior had less problems organising the Lisbon airlift 60 years ago from the end of a phone than his bhoy will have trying to organise a few dozen CQNers with all the modern tech.
Warburton looking severely stressed…blue touch paper lit???
Thank feck we never moved to Robroyston.
Would have been sacrilege.
And as for Cambuslang!
Sacrilege!

Allegedly……Donald Trump believes that Peter Cushing was once married to Whoopi Goldberg.

I swear by all that is holy… you shall be avenged!
Back in the early days of CQN … before it was even called CQN in fact… at the time, I think it was still called CNBDSN ( Celtic Not Bad Download Speed News), In order to be allowed to join such an august group, I had to swear a blood oath to protect and avenge all CQNers (or CNBDSNers, as we were known back then… incidentally, I haven’t heard much about the blood oath recently … all these newbies have to do is answer ‘are you a Hun?!’ Seriously?! What is that all about?! …. but I digress….
As I was saying… YOU SHALL BE AVENGED!!
What scurrilous foe is it that shall have brought down our comrade?
If it is the demon driink that brought you down, I shall slay a dozen ciders (and perhaps a few piña coladas..i do like them coconuts drinks!). in your honour as I lay on the beaches in St. Lucia
If it was Scarlett women that laid you low, I shall … (well, you get the picture … I’m thinking something like the Castle anthrax scene from the Holy Grail!… but with more actual spanking, and less running away…. oh, and can we maybe not mention this bit to K T please? And, once again, that is not Kolo Toure!).
So brave Davidopouols.. go forth to your stag do, safe in the knowledge that, should you succumb on your harrowing ordeal …. songs will be sung of your heroic deeds … and many an ale (an the occasional Pina colada) shall be drunk in your honour …
Morning Celts
More pain for the sevconians today, hope so:)
The penny seems to be dropping, though im looking forward to watching their next con.
Should be fun.
Not got time at the moment, but during the summer, i plan to have a proper look at the old sevco through some deep research.
I believe its time they were exposed properly, im surprised that some techy type investigator hasnt laid it out.
Should be interesting, as ive got a few questions:)

I get you on that,big time.
But DAVIDOPOULOS is still in the first flush of youth,and what could be better?
Too young for our cynicism,he is still flush with youthful enthusiasm.

Who is the new guy on Shortbread tonight,his constant defence of all things Sevco is embarrassing?
============================
Was scrolling thru previous and noticed this post.
That was Jamie Fullarton. A few weeks ago he was on shortbread a few days prior to Ian Cathro being confirmed as hearts manager.
He absolutely demolished Ian Cathro on the program. Basically said that he had no experience of handling players face to face on the training field, his experience was thru analysing football stats on a computer. Why are Hearts even considering this guy.
During this tirade, Tom English texted contacts that he had at Ian Cathro previous 2 clubs to get confirmation of this. At the end of the program he announced that his contacts had rubbished what Fullarton had said. Basically he was lying thru his teeth!
My first question is this: Why are Scottish Referees Masonic?
Why would members of a secret society be so prominent within refereeing in Scotland.
I want to know.

Heading back to sunny Ayrshire on Sunday for a bit of hun baiting.
Oh!
…and to see her indoors and the wean! Will be on taxi duty for the next three months driving Erica up to Glesga to take her to uni after her knee op. Train too dangerous, apparently!

Kinda feel a bit sorry for the breadman.
£30m warchest, over-investment, “whatever it takes”. Could maybe be a bit more scrutiny on the guy who came up with that.
It was the MSM that built him up into the next Guardiola after a couple of big wins against part-time teams.
And the whole “going for 55” guff – raised expectations WAY beyond reality.
My friends in Celtic,
After the Sheepies game , Celtic have broken through the Million fan barrier at Parkhead for all competitions for 16/17.
Emphasises just how much we boost the economy . We deserve a fair deal regarding parking and integrated transport facilities.

Thanks for that. I hadn’t heard of Tom Lehrer before, but He seems funny and clever. I will look up more of his stuff!
The Green Man…. they have to be …. otherwise, we’d all look kind of silly singing ‘ who’s the mason in the black’ wouldnt we?
