Being formed by immigrants still has power to shock

1162

A club formed by the Irish immigrant population sends best wishes to Scotland and Ireland. Read all about it! It’s as though our heritage still has the power to shock. How timely the outrage came hours before Celtic launched their “We are Celtic – and we say No To Racism” initiative.  This morning Scott Brown reminded us, “Celtic has been a club open to all people since its formation in 1888”.  Stick to task, Celtic.

Congratulations to our former boss, Martin O’Neill, in getting the Irish to at least the knock-out round. Commiserations to our other former boss, Gordon Strachan. Gordon will be feeling sore right now but he should lick his wounds and stick to task. He got the better of Ireland on their head-to-head and came within a whisker of also getting the better of Poland. The loss in Georgia was typical Scotland – you cannot change everything in two years, while Ireland taking four points from six off Germany is inexplicable.

Gordon is by far the best man to take Scotland the World Cup 2018 qualifiers; get on with it.

    Spoke to my daughter on the ‘phone last night who told me that a well-known poster on here picked her up in his taxi yesterday morning to take her to her weekend job in a local hotel, and told her he was attending the hootenanny later that day.

     

     

    So, today’s quiz question is…

     

     

    Who is that poster?

     

     

    HH!!

  10. Big night for the Irish tonight ..won’t see any but praying for 2 good results.

     

     

    Race 5 at curragh today.

     

     

    Joahann bann. Mate tipped that. Bet wisely .

  11. Captain Beefheart on

    Another scorcher from Bitton! Shame he will be the next to go. Top class.

     

     

    No disrespect to our Irish fans but Poland are capable of playing better football than the Irish. Difficult to choose who to support but I will probably have to go for Poland.

  12. Where’s BMCUW?!

     

     

    Quite concerned he has not surfaced yet.

     

     

    Did he make the last train?!

     

     

    Probably did, because his sensible dad was looking after him.

     

     

    HH!!

  13. South Of Tunis on

    “Faither ” .

     

     

    Remember two great saves v The Deady Bears in the 65 League Cup Final.. The Deady Bear support ran on to the pitch and attacked the Celtic players at the end of the game.

    DD/CRC – Back once again in the land that time forgot.

     

     

    Just about made the 13:45 flight.

     

     

    Lucky a had the bank card with is – even luckier there was money in the account to book another flight! See how to turn a negative into a positive. :)

     

     

    Could have sat outside that pub forever with all yousins – a few beers, a wee yarn – no worries, no problems.

     

     

    Anyway, time for a cure.

     

     

    Thanks again everybody.

     

     

    Slan.

  17. Thanks to all the Bhoys who were there yesterday. Great Craic!

     

    Nice to meet your lass, Tallybhoy.

    Another positive is you would have boosted your Air miles

    Love

  19. Can both teams go through with a draw? I see Russia are on 19 points in 3rd so will probably get best of the 3rds but I wonder what would happen if Ireland finish on 19 as well.

  20. Gerryfaethebrig on

    16 roads….

     

     

    Canny believe I didn’t meet you yesterday (I do t think I did) I was only outside for 10mins meeting BMCUW…. All the best to Martin & the bhoys tonight…… Still not interested in international fitba but am sure there are a few on here cheering on the Irish tonight

     

     

    Martin O’Neil & Aiden McGeady are my link so all the very best

  21. What is the Stars on

    Coney bhoy

     

    The only way both teams can qualify with a draw is if Germany lose to Georgia.

     

    All 3 would finish on 19 and Poland and Ireland would the automatic places with Germany 3rd

     

    It’s all academic anyway as ireland will win tonight

     

     

    Speaking of winning. Master Ally 600 Chepstow and Deor each way 405 curragh

    Good on you mate , easy winner . Many thanks .

  23. i'vehadtochangemyname on

    I got an adult and u16 ticket for us against the sheep at home 31.10.15 – free to a good home : completely cocked up booking for little jmac’s birthday when he’d arranged a rugby world cup final birthday party: email cqn and they’ll pass on my email

  24. Captain Beefheart on

    Coney, don’t mean to be a pedant (ok I do) but aren’t Russia second?

     

     

    WITS and beatbhoy, difficult to go against Ireland for many reasons. After a few beers, perhaps my allegiance will wither.
