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…

1916…..you’ll probably get the jail.
Awrite leftclick, how you doing big fella?
ryecatcher, is sandyhills down near Dumfries? If its the course I’m thinking it was a nine hole course when I played it. I out a ball through an open window of a big old house on the left of one of their par 3’s…………..I’ve still got a terrible hook.
The best course in that neck of the woods is Southerness, a right proper and tough links course.
DD, thanks. Have you got a number for said private?
I need a taxi when I get back from barcalona and had no idea of price.

If we insist that THEY are all the same,… that every Rangers supporter is a mindless bigot, then we become what far too many of THEM are.
I know many people who have been life-long Rangers supporters.
Some of them are bigots. I am not interested in THEM.
Some of them are guys who have never in their lives given me anything other than the respect that I will always give to any other person who has deserved it.
I regard them as my friends.
I am very proud of my own Irish heritage & tradition. I never hide it.
I have no hatred for any other man’s culture, even when it conflicts with my own.
What is it that I don’t understand ?
It will maybe become clearer in the morning when I wake up sober.
Good night.
Sleep well Timland.
Bigish game the morra, we will hump them, even with the wee turncoat as the ref,

Sandyhills is a very Masonic golf course in East end of Glasgow.
Couldn’t afford it as a kid…wouldn’t play it now heehee.
Between Mount Vernon and Tollcross and must be closest private course to Paradise Parkhead.

That`s my experience too.
I think you understand very well.
In vino veritas.
Kip well.
The K Club, best course I have ever played, and we got it for 15 euros as well.
The fairways were like most greens, and they were like snooker tables.

ryecatcher, wrong course I’m thinking of. That’s a pity, I’d loved to have fired a baw into one of their hooses:_))

Good company.

Played the Brabazon at the Belfry in the long hot summer this year.
If you had a downhill 3 footer it was 50/ 50….seriously.

Does citylink not still run the express coach . I’m sure it ran all the way through from Glasgow airport to Edinburgh.
Definitely book a private as the airport ones are horribly expensive. You should probably be able to agree a price when you book.

They want 70, we want to pay 40. Settled on 50.
Seriously…..thinking about it
Didn’t even like golf when I was brought up and lived in Glasgow.
Love playing the game in England and laugh inwardly when my playing partners talk about how beautiful it must be to play golf in Glasgow.
I like the train to Auld Reekie. Very good service.
Shady, I looked at buses but couldn’t find anything direct, I’ll check again.
How’s life treating you in Oz? Hopefully you and your family are settling in.
DD, appreciate that and I’ve logged the number. Thanks.
Now that I know my wee brar was not caught up in Friday’s sad events. I feel its now appropriate for me to comment. My thoughts and worthless prayers to everyone involved. To those who formed the human chain thanks. Glasgow I love you.

All good in Oz. Hot and sunny at Christmas is very weird tho.
Enjoy Barcelona – beautiful city.

Please don’t take this in a disrespectful way as it’s not my intention. Having met you I can only say that your view and mine may be different on a generational level. I’ve wracked my mind for ten minutes and can honestly say there’s not a hun I know I either trust or respect. Having said that I’ve been away from Glasgow for a long time and don’t mix with many these days, but the ones I do come into contact with I’d not like to have to rely on any of them in a tight spot. I threw one out of my house two years ago over a discussion about Neil Lennon, told him to fuk off and not to come back. His parting shot was to fire a few paedo comments back at me.
I’m glad you know some decent ones, I’ve yet to meet one.
