A club formed by the Irish immigrant population sends best wishes to Scotland and Ireland. Read all about it! It’s as though our heritage still has the power to shock. How timely the outrage came hours before Celtic launched their “We are Celtic – and we say No To Racism” initiative. This morning Scott Brown reminded us, “Celtic has been a club open to all people since its formation in 1888”. Stick to task, Celtic.
Congratulations to our former boss, Martin O’Neill, in getting the Irish to at least the knock-out round. Commiserations to our other former boss, Gordon Strachan. Gordon will be feeling sore right now but he should lick his wounds and stick to task. He got the better of Ireland on their head-to-head and came within a whisker of also getting the better of Poland. The loss in Georgia was typical Scotland – you cannot change everything in two years, while Ireland taking four points from six off Germany is inexplicable.
Gordon is by far the best man to take Scotland the World Cup 2018 qualifiers; get on with it.

And the moral of the story is …
Just don’t read the crap ..
If he’s a journalist .. I’m a Saint!
Pathetic dunderheads read the Record ..
Sun, Herald, Express, Daily Sieg Heil and all the other crap!
Rich boys publications .. That haven’t lived in the real world!
Scottish rags are English owned .. English are American\Australian publications ..
Pensioners propaganda!!
And .. Relax! :)
BMCUW, DELANEYS DUNKY AND ST STIVS
Mind if I put the quiz on hold ? Thought we’d have had a few more participants……..I’ll maybe do more to publicise a time …..

I’m really sorry I couldn’t give you great news,mate. And really sorry I couldn’t do so in person. I thought long and hard about it,asked some advice.
It wasn’t a pleasant thing to write,and I know it wasn’t a pleasant thing to read. No silver lining on it. But there could be,just maybe,as I suggested.
It’s a lot to think about,mate. If I can be of the slightest help-even to shout at-feel free,anytime.
So i have 3 players who have come out and said either ” im sick of being played out of positio, or, im sick of being Booed, dont pick me no more”……Crerand, a Man u player….Steve Murray…I think we bought him from aberdeen…, no recolection of him..
And Connolly…A Genius….Any More….Talking Scotland here….Any more?
Delaney’s, long may your youthful outlook continue.
Your enthusiasm is infectious particularly for our team, good music and being sociable.
One of your favourites, The Maccabees , were on Later last week or the week before.
I was planning on going tomorrow but as i explained to Bobby M the other night, I can’t attend. As Bobby will be in Glasgow, we’ll be in Ayr at my wife’s pal’s.
BGX, Stevie Murray scored when we beat Dundee Utd in the 1974 cup final and the extra time winner against Basel in the European Cup quarter final the same year.
Very good midfield player who had to retire early as I believe one of his toes was amputated.
Dixie Deans…if He did Good on Him….But hes a Man utdman te..Celtic is his second team by a Trillion Miles
MOONBEAMSWD
That’ll be a glass and a nod,and a wee tear for a big wee fella.

Dallas Dallas….Aye ok….
BGX
You remember Paddy Crerand but not Stevie Murray?
Ok. Which one suits your agenda?
I agree,btw,that Paddy Crerand considers himself more a Man Utd ex than a Celtic ex. That may be to do with how the two clubs treated him.

Willie Wallace tells the story of why he quit playing for Scotland when he was absolutely mucked about by the selectors.
He was told to report to Seamill even when he explained that his wife was unwell and he was needed at home. They insisted he turn up.
When he got there, he was then told he would not be in the team and so his journey had been for nothing.
He called big Jock, told him what he was about to do, got his permission and support so to speak, told the selectors he was walking out on Scotland, later confirmed this in writing, and never went back.
He just felt he and his family were being treated like dogs — and the wee man was having none of that!
thetimreaper-that idiot should be asking questions closer to home,how many caps has that fud Mutton got?
Wish I was going to the day out tomorrow, not attended one yet but defo go to next one. Hope you all enjoy and stay safe. Can’t beat a wee sing song on a Saturday in the Ga******e. Ave Ave
BMCW…i remember Crerand, Coz my Uncl loved him and hes a European cup winner….I Dont remember Steve Murray….I remember him as a good player at aberdeen….Dont remember him at Celtic…i dont..m
BCW

EXSLAEMUIRBHOY
I owe you one,mate. So you’ll be there next time,for sure.
BGX, I’m sorry if my post about Stevie Murray came over as being cheeky, that wasn’t my intention.
I mentioned those two goals as they were the two most important Stevie scored for us.
Apologies again.
Dallas
Sorry you can’t make it, but hope you enjoy Ayrshire.
Need to meet soon. Always loved our bhoyhood Celtic chats, and according to my Julie, I still act like a teenage bhoy of 50. ;)
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 9th October 2015 9:44 pm –
The wonders of modern technology eh ? Wish it ended better mate. Hate being the bearer of bad news.
Working all weekend due to new systems in work, thought I was past working weekends . Enjoy your day
BRTH
…

Willy Wallace quote ..
” Slaves are made in such ways. The
last time Longshanks spoke of peace I was a boy. And
many Scottish nobles, who would not be slaves, were
lured by him under a flag of truce to a barn, where
he had them hanged. I was very young, but I
remember Longshanks’ notion of peace”
Aye. Mare .. Aussie\Yank .. Pish!
:)
BGX.
I can think of an uberhun who just waistcoated away from the managers job.
Delaney’s, you’re a mature teenager
BRTH: Enjoy your visit to South of France. I spent a lot of time there. There is nothing pretentious about the area, not too many wealthy people with extravagant homes. If near Carcassonne visit the walled city – it is amazing. If near Perpignon visit Coullier on Sunday morning. Lots of other things to do and see there.
Can I point out to anyone who considers themselves a “Bankie” that if you are on facebook there is a really good page to follow called “Call yersel a Bankie”.
Some really good old photos and stories from Clydebank.
Dallas Dallas….sorry if i shorted you out mate…but being honest…he is not important in either Celtics or Scotlands football History…
EXSLAEMUIRBHOY
You went above and beyond,mate. And I’m grateful for that.

BBC4 Time
Big Cup Winners.
In the early days of CQN we had big quiz nights, 400 people packed into some place, somewhere, they were great nights, And I mean great nights, Gordon J ran a few of them, I think they were held in Bell St, right in the centre of town, great nights, pity we couldn’t get back to those days, fabulous evenings,missed by me, maybe a few more. Gordon J, let’s have another one.
BGX
Well if you get a chance, ask big Yogi what he thought about playing for Scotland!
I would type what he said but it breaks Paul’s blog rules.
He hated playing for Scotland, hated the “fans” and thought the SFA were just a shower of Dirty Orange B…….ds!
And that was him being polite!
Almore
I am flying into Carcassonne and staying in Castelnaudary – just for four days.
Food and wine, wine and food.
BGX, Stevie was one of my favourite players when I was ten and eleven years old. Like Pat Stanton, i think he was only with us for two years before he retired through injury.
Pat only played for one season and was out for all of his second season after being injured in the first league game of the 77/78 season.
BMCUW
Just been told well be there tomorrow.
BGX 953
Quite right,mate.
If it disnae fit the answer you want,discard it,ignore it,trash it.
BRTH: Four days is plenty and you’ll enjoy the area (and wine). Cassoullet is the local dish. Once was enough for me but worth a try. Foix is another town nearby worth a visit.
ELDIEGOBHOY
Magic,mate. I’ll chat up yer good lady while you’re getting the beer in!

Never saw the Stevie Murray you mention but was there not another Stevie Murray who had a really bad injury maybe in the 80s…..
