Best news of the day? Kris Commons wants to be involved tomorrow against Barcelona. I doubt Kris is anywhere near match fit, so there’s no chance of him starting on Wednesday against Astana, but a 15 minute cameo, when the Astana players’ body clocks are telling them it’s after 2am, would go down a treat.
I’ve always been a bit more ambivalent about Leonel Messi than most. “He’s not hit the levels of Ronaldinho” is my stock comment, and then there’s the dirty little subject. (Tax).
But his media comments ahead of tomorrow’s International Champions Cup game, “I have a Celtic jersey at home. The games against Celtic were special and I want to remember them”, proves there’s substance to the man.
I’ve a Celtic jersey at home too, Leo. A few of us here do.
Former-Rangers former vice-chairman Donald Findlay is to defend Craig Whyte is his forthcoming trial.
Whyte’s urban legend is going to be difficult to shift, but it’s not accurate. We mocked Rangers fans a few years ago, referring to him as “Our Hero” but he never was. He was the bag man for a very dirty job.
How he handled the SFA, Uefa, HMRC and, most crucially, the insolvency court, when he managed to secure the appointment of Duff and Phelps as Rangers administrators was crucial in the continuation of football at Ibrox.
It was Duff and Phelps who gave Newco the right to use the name “Rangers”, after which point Whyte could claim he was passing on “Rangers”. Everyone else mocked this liquidation fantasy at the time. Until liquidation became a reality, that is.
Whyte left Newco relatively safe in the hands of Charles Green, where it would have thrived, if it hadn’t faced a hostile and damaging takeover bid from its first week of life.
Our auction prize, donated by (the pretty fabulous) Celtic sponsor, Intelligent Car Leasing, closes just after 1pm today.
You can win:
2 seats in the directors’ box
Champagne reception
5 course meal in the Walfrid Suite
Fully expenses bar (pre and post-match)
Half time snacks and refreshments
Car Parking
At the game against Kilmarnock on 24 September.
Money raised from the auction will go towards building a school kitchen in Malawi for Mary’s Meals. It it will be the 5th CQN school kitchen.
Our four existing kitchens feed over 2000 primary aged kids every day. School attendance has increased 30% since kitchens were built, as kids attend for their daily meal. This has an impact on health, education and life chances.
You can follow the auction on eBay here. Thank you.
I’m off to Aberdour now for the 12th annual CQN Golf Open. I’ll be the one holding the jackets.
See you then.

” Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot, Take thou what course thou wilt!”
Or as they say in my part of the world QF, you certainly know how to load a gun!
Apologies in advance for the moan but why are the development squad playing a home game in Greenock?
No offence to the good people down there but why are we playing a home game in the back of nowhere / 30 plus miles from CP? Are we getting sponsored by McGills so that their passenger numbers go up?
Surely the AR park would have been a better bet?
Comes back to my point of 10 / 6 / 2 years ago — we need a youth stadium in G40.
Could be at the old training ground.
Could be next to the running track at Crownpoint
Could be a reincarnation of Helenvale.
One reason we need to make the CL is that we need to build better facilities.
Preferably in the east end of Glasgow that we can share with the surrounding community.
They might even grow to like us …
I just googled the EIOS there now I get it, the malcontents club.

Timaloy, u miss my point.
Simply, we know TDs ,ahem, affection for uni types.
Tony .
Just for you.
The Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) is the oldest teachers’ trade union in the world, having been founded in 1847 when dominies became concerned …
Now some saying its a union, and others an institution? What is it? Any teachers in?

Yeah. But. No. But.
He undermines himself by using the term hun indiscriminately to include anyone whose views on Celtic he disagrees with, or who might not be as obsequiously deferential to Peter Lawwell as he is.
TONYDONNELLY67 on 1ST AUGUST 2016 11:34 AM
FFS.
Are you being serious?
The EIS is a trade union.
Tony.
Traditionally , teachers would consider themselves to be professionals and therefore not in a ” trade” as such.
At least the ones I knew.
Things , of course , have now changed.

Not according to this?

I think my reply at 11.42 addresses that issue.
Where`s Sadie when we need him ?
WELL MACJAY
Teachers can consider what they like, they no longer have the need for me, nor I them, and they will say as I do, thank f…

That`s a lot of reading you`ve given me , but seriously interesting.

Calm doon ffs, I didn’t say it was a trade union, don’t jump in to fast there, scroll back slowwww.

You require, and will continue to require, to use the services of many people who are only able to provide those services because they have received an education from teachers. Everyone does.
So to say that you have no need for teachers is just plain daft.
Which isn’t like you.
Meanwhile, in other news

I’m sure we were assure by one of the nats on here that this would never happen.

I don’t call everyone a Hun get your facts straight, anyone who attacks CFC in any way form or manner, usually with no back up or facts like your self there saying I said that it was a union, I didn’t, someone else did, I? Didn’t even know it existed, stick to the facts ERNIE, and don’t be making accusations like you do with the board without back up,. You little level 5 helper that you are, or malcontent, what ever you choose.

You asked a question.
I answered it.
Here to help.

SNP may have lost their majority,as Mr Kelly states. But they still have enough votes to win.
SNP have 63 out of 129 votes. We know they will toe the party line.
That means that only two out of the remaining 66 need side with them.
Penalty kick,really. And not an Andy Walker one.
Tony
I hope you get the point of my original post now. We probably agree, although you don’t seem to think so, about everything with regard the zombies old club new club. I think you just didn’t read it carefully enough to see the point I was making about what UEFA and FIFA are doing which is what we will have to endure. maybe if I had used the wording – endure – I might have communicated my meaning better.

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS all 4 opposition parties had repeal as a manifesto policy, s o a 3 line whip from them should see it through.
Affternoon bhoys,
Has anyone any update on signings? Its getting ridiculous now. There is a patience and then there is the board taking the proverbial out of the support.
P.s. Still hungover after a weekend spent in the company of fellow CQNers in Dublin.
