If you’ve been here for a while you’ll have noticed I don’t pay much attention to preseason friendlies but tomorrow’s game against Wolfsburg takes on a more serious tone after Tuesday’s reversal – Celtic desperately need to find sharpness.
Despite the well-placed confidence that we’ll cope comfortably at Celtic Park on Wednesday against Lincoln Red Imps, the serious challenges will come thick and fast thereafter.
Players need to find their edge and the manager needs to learn who goes where and works with whom. It’s just about possible for us to get things together, but whoever we pull out of the hat in today’s provisional third qualifying round draw will be delighted to catch a team in apparent flux.
All this brings us back to Wolfsburg’ a much needed test.

I’m not confident of any of them!
Just reading back and as usual the only words that come to mind are
FFS, Wikipedia, Stupidity and that’s just Macjay.
Petec-give this cabineta chance? Seriously Pete. A chance to create more social unjustice?
The world really is going mad.

Excellent site JRF to postmark and follow as it gives you empirical information, information is vital in making rational logical decisions, BMCUP i agree, one of the best features of this site used to be posters who gave links to windows of interest and knowledge

I get pelters from people on here for posting links from The Mail and The Telegraph. I do so because I believe in at least trying to see both sides of an argument before making a decision.

Human beings suffer.
They torture one another…
No poem or play or song
Can fully right a wrong
Inflicted and endured.
Unlike English commentators during the Iceland match
Not bothered about todays draw, we have to get into the next round FIRST
Morning Celts
Horrific scenes from Nice.
What can you say about that?
The World has gone mad.
Petec
Keep blowing that trumpet of righteousness
While the world goes to hell.
Well done

Don’t be silly mate. Reading? Reading more than one reference? Reading different views and opinions? That’ll never catch on!
If it’s not on wiki it’s not true don’t you know. Especially when you can just copy and paste the paragraphs you like and hope no one goes looking to fully determine your stupidity and ingrained bias, bigotry\stupidity, hatred.
Your method ain’t ever going to catch on.

‘Bastille day events in Nice simply underline the motivation of those who voted for Brexit.
I think they were right.’
###
Yes the EU is to blame for the growth in fundamentalist Islamic terrorism.
If they hadn’t destabilised the Middle East none of this would be happening.
It certainly didn’t happen before we joined the EEC, so it stands to reason, doesn’t it?
Plus the weather was better back then and the beer was cheap.
More mass murder carried out in the name of Islam.
Once more, we will light up some landmarks in the french colours, maybe a hash tag or two will trend.
What an intolerant religion.
I fully expect this post to attract more criticism than this dreadful act.
Thoughts with those killed and injured by this hatred.
Terrible scenes from Nice. I just cannot comprehend how anyone could do that.
It seems that the rise of nationalism across the world is now biting. We are seeing reactionary politics, the rise of anti Islamist groups, the preferring of Tory governments as a good thing and the general rise of fascism (hope I spelt that right).
Very sad. Corrupt regimes everywhere (including at Celtic park).
Time to baton down the hatches.
In other news,Neil Lennon was sent to the stands over his protest about a disallowed goal.
Any reasons anyone can think of why a European ref would do that?

ShamCam is now nothing but a skid mark on recent political history.
After seeing PM (TPoD / NLab — that PM) reflect on ShamCam’s political passing you had to laugh at the thought that ShamCam was a NuLab plant as some sort of Christian Democrat parachuted into the Tory party. Something very strange about his career since 2001, he was being talked up after 5 mins as an MP.
TB / GB / PM @ NuLab = 500 person crusade to get rid of the dreamers, the Trots and the Tank lovers.
DC / GO @ Notting Hill Modernisers = 50 person insurgency to try and inject some personal humanity into the Tory beast. Nothing new regarding economics apart from offering the same numbers as GB when times were good and then debt is bad platitudes when things went bad.
Play on the public’s fear of debt to get a hearing.
Forget about it when the austerity generates three wasted years.
The English cap doffers only hear what they are meant to hear.
You get the impression that DC was the pitch man and GO the brains.
GB / AD got the economy back on track and then the ConDemNation blew it.
The bad winter of 2009/10 hid the evidence but they got things going.
Consequently it is now the Tory Party’s turn to offer a solution.
The only question is how long it will be before we see the red teeth and claws.
Interesting to see if S/S Phil will raise taxes?
Sniffy’s neo con Corporation tax vibe has been his legacy.
DC = Scratchy due to his experience with a large EU song bird.
GO = Sniffy due to his service to the Colombian export industry.
Pair of complete chancers — skid marks is possibly being generous.
Cleggy really was the third person in this political marriage.
God
Merkel .
The oberfuhrer of Europe opened the floodgates , thereby destroying the E.C. approx. one year ago.
Thank God U.K. is attempting to close the stable door.
Belatedly.
Nice.
Perhaps coming to a city near you.

The world is now floating on emotion.
Facts are not now required.
You have the planned and the directed.
Then you have the fellow travellers and the inspired.
Regarding your point about nationalism.
One thing from the Euros was the effort put in by supporters to sing the various NA’s during play.
Used to hearing singing as the teams line up but not during the actual game.
Politics in the raw and to me very worrying.
NEGANON2 on 15TH JULY 2016 8:57 AM
what a thoroughly disgusting individual you are, using the deaths of 83 people to further your arguments on here
an absolute tragedy for the french on the most symbolic of days, i felt sick to my stomach this morning, but nothing compared to how i feel after reading what you posted.
well done, you’ve got your reaction
Macjay –
When Blair was hell-bent on conning the UK into supporting the illegal war that made the world the dangerous hate-filled place it is today, it was the EU who tried to stop him.
As usual, you rewrite history to support your agenda.
I see the clown prince of politic continues to blurt out its drivel, Merkel opened the floodgates that caused 9/11 and 7/7, it really is a case of the lunatics taking over the asylum.
Economically illiterate and like most illiterates refuses to see it as a problem that can be fixed with a little effort.
MADMITCH
Interesting hypothesis-GO as the brains aside(!)
The Tories have never needed to rely on “humanity” for votes. They tend to rely more on fear,which you also point out. That,and smears against their opposite numbers.
All in all,I’m rapidly arriving at the conclusion that we get the politicians we deserve. The few who genuinely want to make a difference for their constituents,and for the country at large,are labelled dreamers,fantasists,idealists.
And sidelined as a result.
The country is in a very bad place,much in need of direction. And with the worst politicians in my memory.
Smashing…
Ideology and religion.
Belief in destiny, fate, providence….God.
Superstition, Propaganda.
And the fragility of the human mind.
This is what people do.
This is what people have always done
This is what they will keep on doing
Violence generates Violence.

Celtic40me,
Are you a sun reader ?

what are you on about now?
Marshal Law coming to a nation near you soon.
It’s all part of the plan.
Celtic40me,
Forget it, just you carry on regardless, enjoy your ignorance and make sure you have a pop at anyone that tries to open up discussion beyond pig ignorance and stupid emotion.
Come on Paul.
I know that I am a moaner and a groaner but surely CQN can do something about these ads.
I know from other posts that it is not just my computer that is susceptible. As I am having no problem with other sites such as e-tims, I must assume that problem lies with CQN

As a complete aside, I lost access to that email account you have for me for ages. If you’ve been trying to get in touch apologies. I’ll drop you a line when I restore it (and wade through unread email).

The tragedy in NICE.
It`s all Blair`s fault.
Wot ? No Thatcher ?
We kill them…They kill us
We bomb them….They bomb us.

We only get the politicians we deserve.
If they pauchcle their expenses then we as a society pauchcle our expenses.
Humanity into the Tory party …
That to me is there only lasting legacy.
Might have been a ruse to allow the Tories to empty their closet.
Not sure what would have happened if they had stuck to the 2005 MH norms.
The CD’s would probably stayed with the LibDems and 2015 might not have happened.
Wonder if TM will be able to keep them?
Linking the UK’s EU membership with events in Nice is shameful. That somehow it is a case of Brexit is crass.
Why not simply pay your respects with compassion and refrain from using this horrific event as an opportunity to peddle your political agenda.
Thoughts and prayers are with the people of Nice and beyond.
Celtic40me –
You offended one of the Chuckle Brothers.
Back on blog to focus on football matters in face of horrendous events abroad, and come on guys, a bit of respect please instead of petty bickering.
Looks like a bit of travelling unless we get the Scandinavian tie winners. Further to Gary67, possible opponents with first leg scores. Nothing cut and dried yet.

sorry to disappoint but i’m not interested in fighting with you, arguing with people for shits and giggles doesn’t float my boat
All things considered, given who are fully fit, and personnel available to us, I’d like to see the following team take the field on Wedensday. 2 up top, and a midfield diamond
———————C.Gordon——————-
M.Lustig. E.O’Connell. Erik. Tierney
——————–Brown————————–
———-Henderson. Armstrong———-
——————-P.Roberts———————-
———-Griffiths. Dembele—————-
And a further point is this. I am sick tired of the likes of Christie, Rogic, to name but 2, continually be given opportunities, only for them to never take their chance.
Such players need to understand the utmost privilege of being handed a starting Celtic jersey. When they are handed a start and that jersey, they damn better be acutely aware that this is their big chance. They must give blood and snotters to ensure they give110% and more on that pitch. And do everything possible to ensure and increase their chances of a good performance.
Because what these guys serve up more often than not….. Is just pure pish.
