No one can convince you or I Celtic played well, against The ‘Well, yesterday. Throughout the first half, the players looked like strangers. At times, Motherwell ripped us open. This was not league winning form. None of that matters, though.
When you are not playing well, all that matters is you pick up wins until you get your form back. Another injury-time win at Fir Park this season kept us within touching distance of the top. When Adam Idah scored his second, you and I knew, and you better believe Newco fans knew, Celtic are still in this title race. The Pretenders have the most effective trophy winning operation in Europe breathing down their necks, be sure, they will feel it.
Alistair Johnston returned at right back but looked like he had hardly played with Nicolas Kuhn before – he has hardly played with him. Greg Taylor was a welcome sight at left back, he too looked estranged from his left wing partner, Daizen Maeda, fewer excuses there.
Tomoki Iwata made a rare and accomplished appearance in the deep midfield role, allowing Callum McGregor to partner Matt O’Riley in the more advanced roles. Neither Callum nor Matt performed to their normal levels. Kyogo was a virtual spectator.
Goals change games and Adam Idah scored two stunners which not only changed the game but may change the season. His first, from a Taylor cross, his second, from Johnston’s cross; both full backs back and doing what is required. The third came from another cross, this time Yang’s, who found Luis Palma to settle the nerves. Hopefully Brendan will soon learn who his best wingers are.
The second half was peppered with the influential return of Cameron Carter-Vickers, such a steadying figure for Celtic, he snuffed out the persistent threat from Motherwell’s Theo Bair. It was good to see the players with genuine smiles on their faces at the end. There remains a lot to do but let’s hope this was a turning point.

Yip – where there’s muck there’s brass.
Shortbread have been raking the muck, stirring it up, bringing other groups into the muck ….
… all to keep a “Celtic bad” story alive.
Despicable organisation.

” Ayshea (Lift off)” …..I think I vaguely remember that Girl.

“Lift Off was Granada TV’s answer to BBC’s Top of the Pop’s – A spin off from Granada’s pop show Discotheque, but aimed at younger viewers and ran for 5 years from 1969 – 74 originally presented By singer Graham Bonney who was then joined by the lovely Ayshea Brough who became the programmes sole human host and it’s …
I have googled ” Lift Off and AYSHEA” and I now remember her being a very pretty Girl from her Photos on Google.
I dont think I watched ” Lift Off” too much, as I was too busy watching Celtic, Chasing Burds, Drinking Beer and trying to play Fitba at that time !

Radio Scotland doing it’s utmost to deride Brendan Rodger’s. He’s now the focus of their morning programme. Utter disgrace.

If Celtic do not ban these people from Celtic Park now, then they probably never will.
They , Celtic, might feel that banning them would lead to an even worse Press coverage for our club but I don`t think that ( worse coverage) is possible.

Anybody ever get an answer right on Only Connect?

Didn’t realise there was a new series. I’ll get back to you when I’ve watched it and got no answers correct 🫣
Re the furries story –
My daughter was telling me about someone in another local school who identifies as a cat – the school were providing a litter tray for her/him/the cat and everything.
Funnily enough at the other school the pupils there were talking about the person in my daughter’s school who was identifying as a cat – and the school were providing a litter tray…
There’s even a wiki page about the myths…

Maybe the Scottish version would be called : “Didnae Connect.”
Cheerio for now.
Most balanced members of the public will not give a monkeys about the ongoing non story about our manager.
But this is what we have come to. Political correctness gone mad.
Son to Dad : What does political correct mean ?
Dad to son : Well son, it means giving up your own opinions and beliefs in order to please some whiny little cry babies.
Greenpinata
You can give up your beliefs, just make sure you never give up your seat on a bus or train.
I’m sure that would be frowned upon these days.
Growing up, I’d surely have said ‘here, misses, want this seat?’
Nowadays, folk would take umbrage that I’ve assumed her gender and consider her to be weaker.
It’s madness. Madness, I tels ya
Political correctness/woke is essentially identity politics.
It means the majority have to tip-toe around on eggshells lest they offend the permanently offended.
That horrible post is still there.
Disgraceful

We gave up seats in the pub on Saturday for a mother who was with her daughter and grandchild.
There is no way in the world I could sit there enjoying the Rugby when a family needing a seat were standing beside me.
That’s not sexism or misogyny, it’s upbringing, respect and manners.
Cheers and HH.

Completely agree. I can’t change the way i was brought up.

I AGRRE mate.
BAN the BBC CHUMPS from Celtic Park and BAN any BBC Interviews from Celtic Park AND AWAY Games.
ALSO….I am a BBC Licence Payer, and I ALSO RESNET paying for ALL of those PUNDITS that ” Cover” Games on BBC and ” MATCH of the DAY”.
Firstly they have at least TWO Comentators at almost every game, and then they have at least THREE on Match of the Day”.
I do NOT need at least FIVE BBC ” Pundits” to describe any game of Fitba that i decide to watch.
JENAS, MURPHY, WRIGHT, MICAH RICARDS, DIXON… and the rest can GTF asap.
IF I remember correctly a few short years ago ALAN HANSEN was apparently getting ” £30,000″ for every Match of the Day programme he was on.
If true, how can the BBC justify paying large amounts of Licence Payers money to those CHUMPS ?
IAN WRIGHT and MICAH RICHARDS are just TWO of the worst…who like to laugh at their own ” Patter”
HH.
RESENT…
AGREE….DOH !
is this celtic quick news or gb news ?
the only folk who say political correctness gone mad are mad c*nts with no respect for anyone other than themselves !!!
the right are stoking the culture wars to win over the stupid and hard of thinking, just as they did with immigration/brexit.
Hands off Ian Wright BIG JIMMY :) Once a Tim always a Tim.
I guess the history of the Matchgirls Strike of 1888, in the East End of London will have to be re-written…..
Not to mention Robert Burns tribute to Women everywhere ‘Green Grow the Rashes’
Itself a rework of an earlier English folk ballad.
Try listening to Michael Marra’s masterly version….

BBC Scotland have one rule for Celtic. It’s simply bias. It’s not really about political correctness. Every report about us has to be negative. To think I pay the licence fee to fund this. Makes me sick. As I’ve said before, Celtic must ban them.
Ange used to call people “mate”… was that offensive tom people who did not want to be?
The woke agenda will ruin it for every single group in society.

Re Graham Bonney.He had a hit with ‘Supergirl ‘ before our remarkable 1966/67 season.I remember a song doing the rounds ‘ Hey super Celts hey,hey hey’.Anyone out there in CQN land remember that one.
PS Celtic football club got a PR spokesperson well get out and confront these people at the BBC…

My mental health is fine, but many thanks for your concern. Since today I identify as a teapot, I see some Deja Brew.
I hope you are just as concerned about the mental health of a generation of youngsters who’s mental health has been severely impacted by lockdown when the science showed there was virtually no increased risk to them or to their peers.
As a society we did not manage risk correctly.
That is where your concern should lie.
CQN was originated to combat lazy journalism. We do not need to follow any MSM narrative. I wholeheartedly support that rationale.

Jesus wept. I’m glad I never posted here during Covid. No doubt many people suffered. No doubt many mistakes were made. But as the son of a father killed by Covid, brother to a nurse and a pharmacist, I’m unequivocally in the camp of the world’s best scientists over the Daily Mail and Boris ‘let the bodies pile high in their thousands’ Johnson. Each to their own but stunned to see those views rampant on here.

How do you define political correctness?
I think most people on here would argue that every single person deserves the right to respect, no matter their creed or religion.

Exactly this. Does anyone actually believe there’s a guy in banking office sitting with a mask on just howling like a wolf whenever he feels like it?? My mate works with a guy who it was alleged identified as a vampire. Mate asked him about it on a night out and said he doesn’t identity as anything, he’s just really into vampires the way people are into football, into Marvel, into Harry Potter, into whatever. And yet this myth circulates around his office with no regard for the truth and gets exaggerated every time it’s passed on.
How many transgender people do people in here see in person on a daily / weekly / monthly / yearly basis?????? I’d say maybe a dozen in my lifetime at a push. And given the unrelenting abuse they take from the right wing culture wars I very much doubt any of them they’d be offended by someone offering them their seat. Stop lying.
From the BBC site ( sorry) :
“Rangers boss Philippe Clement believes the rough treatment dished out to Todd Cantwell at St Johnstone played a part in the injury that will keep him sidelined for a month. (The Herald)”
I would like our Manager to respond similarly re the treatment of some of our players. MInd you, the headline would be more `Whinging Rodgers` than being supportive.
“Former Scotland defender Charlie Mulgrew says Celtic or Rangers should make an immediate move for 17-year-old Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller. (Scottish Sun):
I have only seen highlights re Lennon Miller but I agree with Charlie ( well not the hun bit !)
Cheerio for now/

Hands off Ian Wright BIG JIMMY :) Once a Tim always a Tim.
…………..
Wright was NEVER a Tim.
By the time he came to Celtic he was Finished as a Fitba player.
He also stated some nasty comments about the Celtic support after Celtic got shot of him.
He is just one of several Guys who I wish Celtic had NEVER signed.
I have sad news to bring about an ex-CQnr who hasn’t been on these pages for some time.
News has been forwarded that Whitedoghunch (Bryan) has passed away after a long spell in hospital. Brian was a source of info on restaurants and fine food all across Scotland and abroad. I remember him telling me he was associated with a Scottish Band in the 80s- not sure as a performer or manager- but he suffered badly from the effects of a road accident which affected his mobility, speech and even thought and mood. He used to live down the road from me but moved 15 years ago when his parents died. I had heard he was hospitalised but I knew no more until the sad news came through today.
Brian was capable of writing some difficult stuff on here but there were neurological issues and some understandable mental health issues behind that. In person, he was generous and put me in touch with a few fine places that my family enjoyed. His was a life curtailed by that accident; he had a lot of promise unfulfilled in a life that started so brightly for him.
RIP WDH
BIG JIMMY on 27TH FEBRUARY 2024 11:54 AM
Totally agree. Was less than complimentary about the support after he left. He bought into the whol John Barnes stuff about him not being accepted by the support due to his ethnicity…
