I watched Hearts batter Pat Fenlon’s Hibs into submission at Easter Road last month. They are not a good team but they have elbows and commitment, often the key resources in a football game. With our interest in the League Cup and Europe curtailed, and the league title a sure thing, it is enormously important that we remain in the Scottish Cup into the New Year.
Attitude is the most important attribute for Celtic this weekend.
Things you don’t expect to do when you start blogging: I took four calls from journos yesterday asking if I knew a Celtic fan prepared to go on record as an IRA supporter! I don’t, for the record, not one, so no one else should bother checking. Lack of support for that organisation and, where support exists, an awareness that representing yourself as such, is not inconsequential, will explain the dearth. Just as it’s not inconsequential when you represent your club. I can’t see many inviting the consequences.
I also got a call yesterday and a faxed copy of a contemporary Celtic View (yes, a fax) from a fan who was beside Jock Stein when he went into the crowd at Annfield that day in 1972. It was all very cordial, of course, no one argued with Jock.
Jock was at the height of his powers. Five years from the European Cup win, two from his last final and four months since losing a European Cup semi-final on penalties, he had yet to lose a league as Celtic manager. His comment in the View, “The Wreckers are chanting about things that have nothing to do with football” was respected, Celtic fans went back to football matters. But this was 1972. News from Ireland was despairing. Rangers fans (and according to newspaper reports, Hearts fans) were chanting “UDA” without censure, Celtic fans eventually retorted.
This is all sooo last century, apart from the consequences, of course.
Sharp focus for Sunday…

Helicopter crashes into Glasgow pub.
Celtic Mac
22:24 on
I agree with your post
All the hacks will be in the pubs gettin lashed, no injuries apparently.
HH
Whither Resolution 12 the dae? It’s now 2 weeks since the AGM – a timeline for progress would be helpful, before this disappears into the long grass, along with the CL. Anyone?
HH
Hope no fatalities or serious injuries.
Prayer said for all involved.
Good night
God help them.
Pray for the injured. The pub would be jumping at that time.
Helicopter has crashed into Clutha Bar. Some injured and trapped inside building.
Tom McLaughlin,
Do you really believe that??, I have never heard them say they will disband (Potentially next year )
Too much water under the bridge for all their MP,s MSP.s and Councillors to just pack it in and join labour etc.
No the legislation will remain and will probably be strengthened.

Pub is at the clyde on just off the bridge coming over from the gorbals.
Apparently a Police Helicopter.

Well, pleased to hear it Monteblanco! Fore!
That Kevin Rooney bloke from Spiked Online and his pals are loving the attention I’m sure because attention seeking is what they’re about, not Celtic.
I’m sure you can see these guys coming, some others won’t, they’re not exactly open and transparent. But they are usually quite posh.
We’ve all got a right to an opinion, a voice, a song and a banner even, but do we consider the responsibility it has on everyone else who might not share that viewpoint?
Oppose the Bill, yes, but at the right time and place and with the right message. Tuesday night was wrong in all sorts of ways, IMHO.

Your girl is a couple of hundred yards away. God help them.

You’re right. Get rid, never Celtic standard anyway.
i’ll gladly sit on a bench every weekend for 90mins and pick up £30k
Sign me up Lenny!
David Prowse. Do not understand what you are getting at. But totally irrelevant in the light of the news from Glasgow. Hope all are safe.
Hope everybody is ok.
Photos on sky show what looks to be an emergency services helicopter in one piece. No fire thank god.

Hopefully nobody seriously injured.
Now, anyone missing a SAM…?!

can we wait and see everyone is ok before the crap jokes??
No fire is a miracle. Thank God.

A bit of decorum and decency please.
Not a time for shitey jokes.
Does anyone know if the people in the Helicopter were ok?
I have a pal who is a paramedic who serves on the emergency services choppers based at the Clyde. I hope all are ok no matter where they were.
The photo from above shows that it will be a miracle if there isn’t multiple serious injuries.

Brth.
In all honesty, it doesn’t look good. It would be a miracle of the crew escape unhurt. Hope I’m wrong.
Sky News reporting that it was a Police Helicopter.
Dreadful pictures on news.

Seems people outside were forming a line..passing unconscious people out of the pub.

yes the lie down would be a decent idea, maybe you will waken up with some perspective
thoughts with everyone involved.
2 points tho.
BBC can’t even identify the correct location on a map
The Brains Trust @ FF seem to think it’s merits a title of ‘Helicopter Friday’ !!
Heaven help them all
