Celtic have five games still to play this month against teams they have recorded two draws, three defeats and no wins against this season. Hearts and Rangers conformably recorded home wins against Celtic while St Johnstone won at Celtic Park. Udinese were fortunate to escape Glasgow with a point thanks to a late penalty, while Kilmarnock demonstrated their unpredictability by taking, then losing, a three goal lead.
There was a bit of optimistic chat over the weekend that three of our next four league games are at home but these are the teams we need to beat to win the league. If Celtic come through this month unscathed in domestic football they will win the league, but despite current good form, this will be a huge challenge, starting against Hearts at 15:00 on Saturday.

Sunderland was actually quite well supported in Ireland in the 60’s. This was down to several Irish players performing very well for them. John Crossan (NI) and Charlie Hurley (ROI) being most notable. Had a bit of a soft spot for them myself and remember a titanic struggle against Man Utd in the FA Cup in 1965 – I think.. Sunderland was then in Div 2. 3 – 3 draw at Roker followed by a 2 – 2 at Old Trafford. Lost the second replay 5-1.
May be where MON got his allegiance.

Shocking. Whatever happened to good old fashioned pedagogy?

I know,but he’s always firing his guns to scare off the commoners.
There’s also a few Bytheways in the glasgow phone directory, by the way!

This seems a decent theory as to why he supported them. In another life, I was a seminarian and all the Irish lads there had a soft spot for Sunderland. They would rave about Charlie Hurley all the time, who was someone I had never heard of back then.

Yes. Charlie was a big hero for the ROI guys. He played at international level along side Noel Cantwell who captained Man Utd to an FA cup win afgainst Leicester City in 1963. Charlie and Noel were magnificent twin centre halfs.
I had a few Bytheway clients in Pollok and the pronounced their name as by the way.

‘I take your point, but it is bordering on sophism.’
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
And when were Celtic fans ever against a border campaign?
Vmhan:
Is it the full set, up to the end of season 4? If not give me a shout.
You will love it fella. Sannabhoy, if you are missing any give me shout too.
Hope you enjoyed it.
Does anyone know how close to a ban Kayal is at the moment ,with the derby coming up will one more yellow push him over the points limit .If so ,does he take a yellow soon or does Lenny have to put him on the bench to avoid missing the derby .
hail hail

I know you lead a pretty boring life,Big Brother? you need to get out more.
Sunderland were abig spending club in the 60’s – they signed Baxter from Rangers and lots of others
Surely one half decent peformance from Big Dan does not mean an extension to his contract. Please No!
When does Glenda’s contract run out?
TBH I think both have played ok in the last two games…..but I always have a nagging doubt…ever since I lost that Loovens feeling.
A commanding Centre Half that provides confidence to the rest of the defence is a must signing.
Ernie
Rather funny, but here’s an idea: Make an argument. You’ve got all the column inches in the world right here. Go for it.
Thank god ,we got off with that sectarian singing charge.
I was pure bottling it.
I’m gonnae be ooh aahhin up this weekend.
BTW Jungle1967
BTW Leave the BTW’ers alane BTW BTW
MWD
I sincerely hope Neil is talking up his player and is not serious about a new contract for big Dan.the quicker Dan and loovens are off the premises the better
Wanyama and Mulgrew would be my first centres for the time being.
MurdochAuldandHay
Don’t you mean I’M JOHN MACKAY!!!!!!!! leads with guff.
Nae bother MWD, BTW
I honestly think Craig Whyte has taken his Casio keyboard into the kitchen and belted these out himself.

I think Clydebank played Sunderland for their first game after they installed floodlights at Kilbowie Park. Charlie Hurley played for Sunderland that night, and I think he scored. Maybe some old bankies bhoys can confirm as my memory is not as good as it was last week.
Well said Terry – the bhoy on after you fair slapped old Ned Flanders down for his manners!

Kelvin Wilson should be back soon, and he will be first choice if fit and available, I would hope Lenny gets the other CB he wants in the window.
At the start of the season, I thought Lenny was looking to go with Kelvin and Glenda, but hey, what do I know.

Just a youngster.
Hail Hail
I will NEVER forget my visit to Roker Park, or the Mackem’s chant of …
“Who’s the greatest centre half the world has ever seen,
Who’s the greatest centre half the world has ever seen,
Who’s the greatest centre half the world has ever seen?”
“Charlie Hurley is his name,
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie Hurley”
Jim Baxter had just arrived at Sunderland.
Celtic came to pay tribute.
I missed the bus home & took THREE days to get back to Clydebank.
I don’t have to tell you the final score…. :¬))))
HAPPY DAYS.

I was at that game too.
Went through to Whitley Bay and had a great night in St.Mary’s Club.
Did the same after th game at Newcastle.
Bournesouprecipe,

Kilbowie.
Was only ever at Roker once.
Amazing atmosphere. Special place and exceptional people.
As you say.
Happy daze
