The most secure club in Europe

868


Ronny Deila has been talking about a treble since early in the season, far too early for my liking.  History suggests that trebles are notoriously difficult to win, even for dominant teams.  The league is usually won by the best team but it’s hard to win every game in two cup competitions, no matter how good you are.

Despite this, I’ll not bet against Ronny getting his wish.  He needs to win four games cup games, three of which would be at neutral Hampden, with only one game, the Scottish Cup quarter final, possibly being played away from home.

The cynic among you will, therefore, expect an away draw, possibly in some far-flung end of the country, like Inverness.  My money is on a trip to Easter Road.  I’ll be happy to avoid Tannadice, scene of our last defeat and a place they’re understandably feeling sort over the loss of Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven.

People of Kirkcaldy: that whole 1994-Ibrox thing, forget about it, we’re OK.

Well done to Celtic for highlighting their position as the least likely football team to financially default, according the US rating agency, Standards & Poor’s.  Commercial and ticket income across Scottish football has fallen in recent years but that was only going to result in Armageddon if those in charge of clubs put an inflated sense of their own importance ahead of paying bills.

See the photo above sent by Mary’s Meals last week of the school kitchen we funded at CQ10.  Work is already underway to raise funds for a fourth CQN kitchen in Malawi after the CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner, on Friday 13 March at the Kerrydale Suite.  Email me for ticket, celticquicknews@gmail.com

  1. Strange one in the draw yesterday that Spartans FC could face Hibernian in the next round of the cup. Spartans are a feeder club for Hibs and have affilation. How are the SFA working that one out?

  2. You are a predictable short-sighted, angst-ridden, cliche-laden, bore – who has inserted himself so far up his own a***, that you will find it hard ever to get the s*** off.

     

     

    A LITTLE LEARNING IS A DANGEROUS THING ;

     

    Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring :

     

    There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,

     

    And drinking largely sobers us again.

     

    Fired at first sight with what the Muse imparts,

     

    In fearless youth we tempt the heights of Arts ;

     

    While from the bounded level of our mind

     

    Short views we take, nor see the lengths behind,

     

    But, more advanced, behold with strange surprise

     

    New distant scenes of endless science rise !

     

    So pleased at first the towering Alps we try,

     

    Mount o’er the vales, and seem to tread the sky ;

     

    The eternal snows appear already past,

     

    And the first clouds and mountains seem the last ;

     

    But those attained, we tremble to survey

     

    The growing labours of the lengthened way ;

     

    The increasing prospect tires our wandering eyes,

     

    Hill peep o’er hills, and Alps on Alps arise !

     

     

    POPE

     

     

    You are a ‘strutting peacock’ amongst your fellow sheep in your closed clique’ – quite frankly, if your brains were dynamite – you couldn’t even blow your bunnet off.

     

     

    Still carrying the Sadaam Hussein Appreciation Society card?

  3. this made me smile…

     

     

    Eye have a spelling chequer,

     

    It came with my Pea Sea.

     

    It plane lee marks four my revue

     

    Miss Steaks I can knot sea.

     

    Eye strike the quays and type a word

     

    And weight four it two say

     

    Weather eye am write oar wrong

     

    It tells me straight a weigh.

     

    Eye ran this poem threw it,

     

    Your shore real glad two no.

     

    Its vary polished in it’s weigh.

     

    My chequer tolled me sew.

     

    A chequer is a bless thing,

     

    It freeze yew lodes of thyme.

     

    It helps me right all stiles of righting,

     

    And aides me when eye rime.

     

    Each frays come posed up on my screen

     

    Eye trussed too bee a joule.

     

    The chequer pours o’er every word

     

    Two cheque sum spelling rule.

  4. Gotta love Dave King:

     

     

     

    “It is truly humbling to evidence how fans have rallied round the club in this time of need.”

     

     

     

    Utterly hilarious. In THIS time of need?

     

    So, where were they the last 5 years?

     

     

    And while I’m at it, where were you Mr King?

     

    As I recall you were on the board that initiated this fiasco.

    You and WC – “and all because the lady loves Milk Tray” – or should I say, “and all because I state the fact that the SNP get STUFFED”

     

     

    THE BILE IS KEPT WARM ON A ‘LOW HEAT’ for dispensing to those who tell the truth, but, disagree with the ‘close-brethren’ who inhabit these pages.

  6. How did the devlopment bhoys do last nignt ?

     

     

    I saw line up..though mcmullan had gone out on loan ?

     

     

    Time to read back

  7. proudbhoy won 2-0 mcmullan got the first. Alfie N I previously asked you to name the “Green Huns” who post on here, so that i can avoid them. Going to do it i’m getting concerned. H H Hebcelt

    Nonsense but don’t let that hinder your agenda.

     

     

    Safe standing requires approval from GCC Safety Advisory Group, that’s not been granted hence the delay.

  9. The Daily Record banned for publishing the truth about Sevco.

     

     

    Hang on, they don’t even call them Sevco.

     

     

    I’m confused.

    When are the smsm going to ‘grow a pair’ and confirm the VERY obvious …..Miller and Boyd shamefacedly conned and duped sevco into providing them with a pension top-up. A great example of the meeja’s contribution to the demise of derhun ……. Many posters on CQN ‘laughed out loud’ when these 2 signing were made……AND I JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH

     

     

    FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THANK YOU smsm ….. Hahahahahahahahahaha

    “It is truly humbling to evidence how fans have rallied round the club in this time of need.”

     

    ——

     

    The sentence immediately before demonstrates a Walter Mitty-esque respect for the truth:

     

     

    “The fact that the fans continue to demonstrate by vociferous but peaceful means is a credit to the fans collectively and to the club as a whole.”

    Eddie – Please be conscious of the fact that, your troubles are the making of…the Celtic board not doing their job by, demanding that the huns didny get a licence to return to Scottish football and…that if they did…Celtic FC would walk out of the Scottish game and, tell the world why…that course would have – imho – gotten Celtic FC out of Scottish football and, probably into a SKY-TV type of league and…the huns/animals/monkeys…would have been found out on a ‘world-scale’…but, due to Celtic’c silence the huns are playing football again…in Scotland and, have walked away from paying £140 million’s that they stole from anybody who’d let them away with it…Celtic’s board of directors let them away with stealing 3 years CL-money to stay alive on the back of ‘honest-mistakes’ so…in a way, you could say that, Celtic’s board are just as bad as the Rangers board and guess what…Celtic and, all other clubs fans are the victims…anyway…Celtic supporters shouldn’t have needed to make any kind of ‘statement’ and, I hope they wont need to be sullied into making any more…it’s ‘not’ their job.

     

    Thats all…take care Eddie…bye.

    All we can do,mate. FWIW,I understand fully people’s disillusionment with Labour.

     

     

    I just don’t understand their decision to go SNP instead.

     

     

    Even though I predicted it in July at the same time I went 55-45 on the referendum.

     

     

    Wish my horsey predictions were as accurate.

    Listenin’ to the ‘See the Sky About to Rain’ CD which the postie has just delivered.

     

     

    Colleen Rennison was strongly recommended by ole South of Tunis and her voice has a nice bluesy timbre.

     

     

    The album is a collection of [well chosen ] covers; wee Colleen could be the greatest contribution Canada has made to proper music since Shania.

    What exactly did Commons assist?…success in a one horse league?…a series of skelpings in the CL?…what?

  27. So the two ‘Celtic’ supporters who attacked a hun outside a Newarthill pub after the recent game at Hampden have been charged.

     

     

    Guess what, they weren’t Celtic supporters after aw.
