The curious significant of 1 June

1642

There’s something I’ve never been able to figure out for the last nine years.  When Gordon Strachan was announced as Celtic manager, on 1st June 2014, he apologised to the media for bumping their calls the previous week, as he was due to takeover on that date, and the announcement was embargoed until then.

No idea why the news was embargoed, but it was.  Tomorrow’s the 1st June.  If the same rules hold true now as when Gordon Strachan was appointed, there was little chance of an appointment in late May.

If you’re not going to the CQN 10-in-a-row Charity Golf day on 4 July the Sean’s Trust Charity Dinner is on the same night at the Fullarton Suits, Glasgow.  Sean’s Trust is run by the late St John Doyle’s partner, Linda.  If you’d like to attend let Lennybhoy know, lennybhoycfc@gmail.com

Let me know if you would like to attend the CQN Question and Answer evening at the Manor Club, Wimbledon, on 21 June, with a confirmed line-up of Lisbon Lion, John Hughes, and our own Brogan Rogan and Auldheid, celticquicknews@gmail.com

Visit the CQN Bookstore to get Tommy Gemmell to sign your personal copy of his tome, All the Best.

    Ricky Sbragia told Mrs Bada 2 weeks ago, he was leaving the Scotland U 17s ……….

     

    Pretty sure he was Chief Scout at Sunderland, taxi for Park. ?

    Posts have concentrated, in the last day or two, on the imagined rights and wrongs of appointing RK as opposed to the more general posts earlier about various individuals who were imagined to be in the frame to be appointed because one or two regulars have intimated informed inside information has been unearthed by them.

     

     

    That’s all it ever takes and is a major part of the fun of being a Celt.

     

     

    Totally unstoppable.

     

     

    For me, as an uninformed supporter, if Chewbacca lives on Endor, then it’s sure to be RK.

  5. TBJ says Wee Oscar Knox is in heaven with the angels on

    I count myself very lucky to be acquainted with big john Fallon … An ex player and a massive Celtic fan who represents the club all over the place at functions and supporters nights . He does so much in celtics name and not for reward but just because he’s a true Celt

     

     

    Kris commons and Lisa are modern day celts ( even though they weren’t even fans until kris signed a few years ago)

     

     

    God bless you kris and Lisa ….

     

     

    And as others have said before … The club should get this years poty signed up now

    If you have a NIE number you will be able to get an account here, otherwise, you will have to get a brit address to open one, or block your ISP.

     

     

    I have a bet365 account, I would go for betfair if I was opening a new account.

  12. The less likely something is to happen then the greater the odds the bookies will give you – is that how it works?

     

     

    So ten years ago just after Paul set up CQN – if one of us walked into a bookies and asked for the odds on Celtic competing in the top division of Scottish football in season 2014-15 without the Hearts, the Hibs or the Rangers what odds would have been offered?

     

     

    Higher odds I would guess than if we tried to put a bet on tomorrow that Celtic would win the English League in ten years time.

     

     

    Stranger things have happened.

    Paddy power novelty bet on Celtic to be competing in English football by 2020 was 14/1 up until a few days ago….less than the odds on liverpool winning the CL next season…18/1.

     

     

    Theyve taken the Celtic bet option down now…rush of bets?!
