We are almost week on from Morton (our only mustn’t lose game in March) but there will be a business-like atmosphere around Lennoxtown today as the team prepare to go to Ibrox, scene of three consecutive wins since Newco were promoted to top flight football. Brendan and his players are all too aware of the big talk coming from Murray Park. If ever they needed motivation, they didn’t need to look far.
Fans of either colour, who have been around long enough, will recognise the occasion, but this is not the way you and I used to feel about going to Ibrox. Back in the old days I preferred to go there as slight underdogs, which was often as good as it got for Celtic fans. Now, we travel to every ground in the country as strong favourites, no matter what our form. This is nothing like it was in the pre-liquidation years.
I want to win, of course, but I would have been devastated if we’d lost to Morton. Sunday’s game cannot reach me the same way. This is a step on the road to what will hopefully be a treble, don’t pretend it is about winning the league, it’s just not.
****CQN Last Man Standing 10 – Kicks off tonight with a 7pm deadline for entries. No more sleeps!!!!****
Our Last Man Standing competition starts tonight.
Thank you to all for the amazing 105 entries for our LMS10 competition, but we are still open for business until 7pm.

Hope it’s a nice day, father Sweeney (parish priest of St Pats) puts in some shift for the full week of celebrations leading up to the Saturday, I will be over the street at some point so maybe buy you a wee refreshment if we bump into each other, when it first started a few Huns tried to disrupt it, little did they know all the schools of all faiths were contributing and receiving funds from the event, St Paddy’s festival week in Coatbrig is pretty damned good

Miss you and Miss S, H. You more than anyone will know my mental state just now. Trying hard to get better. Thanks my friend.

Headed out to Sacred Heart soon, a wee prayer will be said for you as well as all other CQN’rs in need.
You have my details if you need to talk G.
HH
Melbourne Mick,
Sorry for the late reply but been trying to sort things out in my three months absence. Delighted to see that I had left myself a bottle of German Christmas beer in the fridge along with some Weißbier.
As regards The Cunyon I am not familiar with the expression but I’m sure I’ve probably been called one ;-)

Onemalloy 8.31am
Am pretty sure Lennybhoy will at some point also “be over the street” looking forward to it, MissGFTB will be with me but her big cousin will be about to take her off my hands if necessary :-)

Your obviously not as auld as i am, it was a huge field up behind
Dumbreck railway station with a girls naughty home top of the
big hill, and us young dudes would frequent there most nights
hoping the girls would get a little restless and jump the wall 8-))
I’ve asked that question many’s a time why it was called the
Cunyon even my mates back home and nobody knows why ?
Maybe someday.

Don’t know who you are. My guess would be WITS or Oldtim?
Bruno Alves spotted this morning.
DD
Oldtim hasn’t the savy to change his name on CQN
Think I’m the only one he phoned from his new phone?

Thanks my friend. Never thought I would be in the state I ended up in. Thought my brain was too strong. Too much pressure in my life gubbed me recently. Too much gone wrong in my family at once floored me. Thanks S. If I need a friend to talk to, I know I have you.
God bless you K and M. X

Delaney’s , its magic to have you on the blog again and you are feeling better after your health scare.
The blog will be even more enjoyable now .
I hope your health continues to improve.
David17
See you soon in North Stand The artist formerly known as TheTim Reaper :)))
HH
Weefra, i hope your health improves , also.
Good luck with your pre-op this week.

The Clash, The Ramones and Stiff Little Fingers were all listened to today. The Stranglers just off too. Was great to meet you in Lisbon. No Pasaran
HH
Delaneys Dunky,
Ya auld Devil, so good to see you back on here. Huge smile on my face now.
Sorry to hear about your problems but kinda suspected something more serious than a flounce.
Same offer as OneMalloy. You have my number.
When you feel up to it, you should ping a message to our Big Mad German friend. He’s been asking after you.
Look forward to seeing you in person soon.
HH my friend. Stay strong.
Delaney’s Dunkey – great to see you back with us.
Stress and pressure – a powerful mix that can make anyone crumble. Got me at one time – work, family, relationship, etc. – all built up over many months then BOOM !!! From upstanding father, husband and senior manager, to blubbering wreck overnight. Best thing for me was just accepting it had happened and talking about it. Now I handle the pressure much better – just laugh at it !!
Oanywhoo – sorry you have had that experience and hope you are through the worst of it.
Hail, Hail from me and Wee BGFC.

The hardest bit about nae drink or blaw is insomnia. I am getting a buzz out of being straight and sleep deprivation though. ;))

Good morning, friends and a special shout out to the returning Delaneys Dunky! Great to see you back although I do notice that your return was delayed until just after the window had ‘slammed shut’ for entries to Last Man Standing 10 ;-)
For anyone suggesting their preferred team today, may I respectfully suggest that the following 7 are automatic starters – Devries, Ajer, Tierney, Brown, Ntcham, Forrest, Dembele. So it’ll save folk repeatedly typing out those 7 and can instead just say who the other 4 will be – CQN Top Tips!!
me, I’ll go with Hendry, Simunovic, Kouassi and McGregor in a 3-5-1-1 set up that’s easily switchable to a 4-4-1-1.
Wee BGFC
See you soon wee G. You are my favourite living teenager. God bless you wee man.

Thanks J. God bless you, your gorgeous sisters and mum and dad.

” there will always be a form of them”
That is one form I would dearly like to see in the Out Tray.

If you excuse my indulgence for a minute to mention that last week marked the end of an era for Rutherglen Celtic supporters when JC hung up his spurs at Chapman’s bar which he turned into a fine Celtic shop. Before that JC owned the Vogue Bar for more years that I care to recall and I can say without contradiction that during that time JC did more than anyone in the Burgh to help Celtic supporters. I could sit here all day regaling you with tales of JC , the Vogue and Bobby Murdoch et al but I know there are more pressing matters at hand. This post doesn’t come close to doing JC justice and he would be mortified if he knew I was posting this. JC an absolute gent and genuine good guy. HH wee mhan.
Just watched our esteemed captain on CTV and it showed a clip of the
Eberdeen game when Broonie was gang mauled and Gerry McCulloch
asked him what was going through his head at the time.
Couldn’t help laughing when he said “i just remember somebody trying
to smash my head with the ball and saw wee logan running away as he
usually does ”
Pure class.
Broonie.. Broonie..Broonie…

Good to see you posting again. You are in a tunnel but moving towards the light.There will come a time when you not only feel better but also stronger for your present experience ( I was going to say `current` but not today ! ) .
