Battle of the Lennons

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

It’s the battle of the Lennons at Celtic Park tomorrow with Danny enjoying the best run of form in his managerial career.  St Mirren are on 20 points, joint with St Johnstone, who they beat in Perth last month, and have already taken a point from Ibrox this season.  They are a technically sound team who will be more difficult to create chances against than Dunfermline were on Wednesday.  They can also play a bit.

Team formation will be enormously important for Neil Lennon.  This is the type of fixture he would previously select a 4-4-2, with two wingers, giving width to the game, but leaving a central two outnumbered by opponents who inevitably pack the middle of the field.  If Celtic persist with this strategy they’ll need to tighten up in the middle.

There is an interesting subplot to this weekend’s games.  Earlier this month there was a daunting 12 points between Celtic and Rangers.  A win for Celtic tomorrow would see that gap shrink to 4 points, with Rangers playing their game in hand away to Kilmarnock at lunchtime on Sunday.  As well as playing for three points tomorrow, Celtic have the opportunity to put pressure on Rangers.

    Western Australia is ravaged by bush fires. Many homes and businesses destroyed.

     

     

    But get this . . . it was started by the authorities setting off “controlled” fires which got out of control.

     

     

    This will cost the tax-payer billions.

    A drunk man looks at the Wirral.

     

     

    I am writing a radio play with that title by the way, and have been doing so for three years, so don’t any of youse try and steal it.

     

     

    Anyway, the journey home to Chester from Liverpool tonight took two-and-a-half hours and Mrs First needed me to look after weans. It was bad news.

     

     

    As often happens in life, though, a moment of relief came from the unlikeliest of sources. An old ghuy, much the worse for wear for the drink, asked me to read the display board for him. I did. He thanked me and asked God to bless me. I thanked him. He said, ‘you come from a lot further north’. I confirmed this was true. He told me The Corries were his favourite folk band and broke into a Jacobite song I’d never heard before.

     

     

    When he’d finished, I asked him why there was so little English folk music. He parried the question like a politician and said: “This is the song I always sing. I’ll just sing you the last verse.”

     

     

    And he sang the song linked below. I thought about warning him against singing it if he ever goes to Scotland in case a Campbell Corrigan snatch squad is lurking, but I bit my tongue and glad I am that I did. More power to him.

     

     

    This really happened to me tonight.

     

     

    The song your mhan sang

    Don’t know if any of you listen to Brian Matthews “Sounds Of The Sixties”show on Radio 2 on Saturday Mornings at 8.00am(well worth a listen btw).

     

     

    A few years ago he played all the Artists who had only one hit in the 60s-played one a week for months on end.

     

     

    One of the few that were omitted was the Dermot O’Brien version of Merry Ploughboy which got to No.46 in 1966 and he had no other hits so it definitely qualified!

     

     

    All because of the IRA lyric!

     

     

    here’s another album title in the lyric “The Final Straw”
