    TRC.

     

     

    Can’t agree, no Celtic player was rank.

     

     

    I’ve just watched the highlights again. Forrest was involved in a lot of good Celtic play. It was his great pass that set Armstrong for the chance just before we scored.

     

     

    On another we could have scored 6 or 7. A great team performance, pass marks for everyone, in my opinion.

     

     

    ……………………

     

    Agree with you totally. Jamesie ran at them time and again in that second half and put them under a lot of pressure. He caused them to scramble about as they didn’t know if he would pass or shoot. He was brave enough to have 3 attempts at goal and delivered that sublime pass to Armstrong which Gilks did well to save with his foot. He was anything but rank.

  2. Cheers for the welcome Bhoys and thanks for the shoutout CorkCert – as I’m not a Celtic season ticket holder I’m assuming tickets for the cup final will be very hard to get but if anyone knows where i’d get my hands on two, it would be very much appreciated.

     

    The blogs here seem very interesting so as a proud Tim I’m sure i’ll be a regular contributor and poster. HH

  3. Wee sisters wedding 26th Nov, Cup Final 27th….gonna be messy.

     

     

    Warburton has no class…he’s in the right place.

     

     

    Did Sportscene not get the rights to show the game/goals from BT….or was it an editorial decision?

  4. TCR

     

     

    Sounds good for Christmas in Clydebank.

     

    Share a bottle of buckie doon the nolly. ;)))

  5. Lynchiebhoy.

     

    Welcome and enjoy.

     

    Corkcelt vouching for you, well you can’t do much better than that.

     

    TCR is correct Hamilton Tim is one of the best for obtaining tickets.

     

    There are a few others on the blog too, keep posting and keep asking, hopefully someone will be able to sort something for you.

     

    Hail Hail.

    The rendition of Grace in the second half really gave me brilliant heart.

     

    The scum-Directing paedo chants to our support and Jimmy Savile crap.

     

    Cue Griff delivers the cross and Moussa buries it…GIRFUY ZOMBIE LURKERS

    Macjay1,

     

     

     

    I , too ,was at that game.

     

     

    Did we play the second half with ten men? No subs in those days.My memory is hazy on that.

     

    =====================================================================

     

     

    Don`t remember , mate.

     

     

    What I do remember is going to the bogs located opposite the main stand at half time .

     

    On emerging , I was greeted by a marvellous goal by wee Willie Henderson , which made it three , I think.

     

    Had to wend my disconsolate way behind the mob of huns singing about being up to their knees in my blood.

     

    A really unhappy day for a young Tim.

     

    We had lost wee Bobby , then Willie and now Paddy.

     

    A loooong wait for Jock.

  9. Hi CQNERS

     

     

    Isn’t it great to land in another Cup Final despite the very best efforts of Masonic officials. I couldn’t watch the game today as I am currently in a hospital in Harrow. Nothing serious…pneumonia.

     

     

    I listened to the match on Sportsound with back up on CQN. Thank you all contributors.

     

     

    Anyway on reading back I’ve been intrigued by the “Pat Crerand Story”

     

     

    My recollection with subsequent add ons from well meaning guys in the know was that Paddy and Slim Jim Baxter spent Hogmanay in the Gorbals. Slim Jim fancied Paddy’s sister and at some point Paddy and Baxter ended up sozzled and found up the close of the Hi Hi Bar in Crown St in the ealy hours of New Years Day. (This is where it gets a bit fuzzy)

     

    I went to the game at Ibrox with an early kick off 1 o’clock I think. I didn’t think Celtic had played too badly up to half time but we’re a goal down. As mentioned by another poster Sean Fallow read the riot act at half time and Paddy was quick to react by tossing his jersey at him telling him to go out and do better. Paddy did come out for the second half and I believe he got in the way of a Harold Davis shot which looped over Celtic ‘ s keeper who was probably big Frank Haffey. Anyhow Paddy never kicked another ball for Celtic and Bob Kelly told him he was being sold to Manchester United. The story went that Paddy was in tears but he was sold for £62,000 in February. It was a very sad day for me and Celtic but Kelly wouldn’t relent and off the bold Paddy had to go.

     

    This account may or may not be true but I heard it repeated many times since then and it does have a wee ring of truth about it.

     

     

    Celtic ‘ s loss was United ‘s gain.

     

     

    Hail Hail you magnificent Celtic Supporters.

    I’ve said it before and I will say it again.

     

    Can anyone explain to me how the likes of Woods,Roberts,Butcher.Gascoigne,Stevens-both of them,Hateley etc were going to Scotland instead of signing for big name clubs in England?

     

    EBT’s?

     

    Naw.Some other scam where they were paid under the table..

     

    Of that I have no doubt.

     

    And Tontine Tim is the man.Bader as he calls him should be doing at least 10 in jail.

     

    Have no fear.The Craft will save him.

    Not to mention Hateley signing from the tax haven of Monaco!

  13. MACJAY

     

     

    Thank you for that. I feel like my brain isn’t addled after all.

     

     

    Something to add . I loved Pat Crerand. Myself and my young brother would walk it from Tradeston (just about where Harry Ramsdens is) on a Saturday match day and wait on the corner of Ballater St for Paddy, big John Colrain, Mike Jackson and Charlie Gallagher to appear on their March up to Parkhead. They weren’t always there and occasionally big Frank Haffey would meet up with them. Than me and my wee brother he would have been 9 and I was 10 would follow up behind them on the way to the game. Great days and very fond memories.

     

     

    Thanks again MACJAY for posting that bit about Paddy.

  14. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    Boaby,

     

    On the button pal.

     

    Aye,I’ll leave Monaco and go tae Sevco.

  16. Hi all. I am an Aussie Tim ( Canberra) who has recently started a blog called Stayinguplategettingup early about following the hoops from Australia. I have enclosed a link for our Aussie and Kiwi bhoys and ghirls to have a look at. Everyone else is welcome too.

     

    Not sure what the protocol is regarding receiving permission from Paul67, so apologies if I have breached. Today’s blog is https://stayinguplateblog.wordpress.com/2016/10/24/celtic-cruise-to-league-cup-final-despite-gilks-and-men-in-blacks-best-efforts/

     

     

    It goes into how easy and comfortable our victory was despite the best efforts of their goalie and the MiB.

     

     

    Please read, comment and share. many thanks.

  17. FWIW today was Broony’s game. He was a giant and he physically and psychologically dominated and destroyed them.

    Naw,mate.

  19. Cheers mate. I know it is the middle of the night back home. Just posting from Tom Rogic’s home town. When he signed he was played a wee bit deeper and I posted ( many moons ago ) that he would be the perfect attacking mid. Kris had that gig sewn up at the time but I think big Tom has made the position his own now. having said that Stuart Armstrong revelled in the space yesterday when he came on.

    Big fan of TR,but as you say,SA did very well yesterday.

     

     

    Personally,I’d play both in preference to Bitton.

    Thank you for that. I feel like my brain isn’t addled after all.

     

    =================================================

     

     

    I feel that mine is , mate.

     

    The Henderson goal must have been from a different thrashing.

    Macjay,

     

     

    What is even more amazing is how brutal Celtic are in that.Good Lord.

     

     

    ==============================================================

     

     

    The torture we suffered .

     

    Mind you , the huns had some great players. Some were good guys.

     

    Summa will tell you about wee Willie Henderson.

    My days too , mate.

     

    Big John Colrain was our favourite. He used to have a shambling run right up the centre of the park and

     

    ” scissor kick ” it 20 yards down to the right wing. Lots of flicks and back heels.

     

    Late `60s I used to see big John heading up the road as a spectator to the game ,which from what you say was obviously what he had always done.

    Just emailed your info to some local guys.

     

     

    May I suggest you post the same message at intervals during the next few days so the word gets around.

     

    Good Luck to you .

     

    Looks like a classy offering.

     

    As it should .

     

    :-)

  25. I just checked the schedule and we have a four week break after our visit to the dodgy roof dome.

     

    It can get a wee bit tetchy during international weeks on here.

     

    I might need an extra supply of BP meds for January.

     

    Or a break with poor or no internet connections.

  26. Thanks Macjay. I will repost later on today and thanks for passing on. I don’t want to abuse Paul’s hospitality but if I can get some more Tims contributing that would be fantastic. at the moment we are outnumbered despite me saying it has a Celtic focus. Ta again.
