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.

    Though I’m not a Glenfiddoch man – I’m in.

     

     

    Bunnahabhain – now you’re talking.

  2. Personally, in interviews Ben Carson always looks like he’s taken too much medication.

     

     

    Or like a guy whose taken too much vino and trying to act sober.

     

     

    Then he opens his mouth and whatever he says confirms my suspicions.

  4. BMCUW @ 6:40 PM,

     

     

    Yeah, the succinct version is much closer to the truth, the guy doesn’t warrant the paragraphs.

     

     

    But Scott plays his heart out and doesn’t deserve unwarranted criticism from a footballing ignoramus.

     

     

    Hope you have a great hoot t’morra!

    Already bought back in as I had feeling Martin would upset the odds, the way I am looking on it is I only owe CRC £10 for the badges & cufflinks tomorrow, instead of £18 (had already paid the badges) I try to take the positive out of even getting beat at LMS5, actually read last night that 36 punters were on Germany so had a wee smile at myself and 35other losers

    Sky Sports News just showed an interview with Gary Caldwell

     

     

    The caption said “Gary Caldwell – Scotland Manager 2002 – 2013”

     

     

    Nae wonder the country hasnt qualified for any tourney for years

     

     

    and has the highest o.g. count of any country in europe in the last 15 years apart from Latvia

    Santa Eulalia is beautiful. I hired a car when I stayed there. Toured the whole Island in a couple of days. Ibiza is a special wee Isle. Enjoy.

    I have made this train journey for 27yrs so should be entering the public house around 2.26pm (hope that’s not too early)

    “Wim never lost a league!” ( or something like that)

     

     

    Neither did Martin in Scotland. He was cheated in ’03 and ‘ 05, as they were fielding improperly registered players throughout both those seasons. Give them a minimum punishment, deducting 3 points for 1 player for 1 game in each season, as the rules demand, then we were Champions in those years.

     

     

    Calls for a drink, that!

     

     

    Cheers!

  15. Are we supposed to be ashamed of our Irish routes, think that is what many in this country think. Think again I am proud of the fact my late parents come from Ireland and just want to say well done Ireland and commiserations Scotland.

  16. Have a great time tomorrow bhoys! Especially those travelling to the sesh and those who haven’t been able to make it before .

     

     

    I would be there other than I have a date with the beautiful one tomorrow at the Editors gig in Dublin.

     

     

    Hootenanny suggests an overly managed and produced event

     

     

    More accurate would be The Tube; more authentic and raw!

    beatbhoy …. you wont get an argument from me (even though it may weaken my claim to be the greatest cetlic manager. Just wish someone at the club would come and say what you just said!

  18. Cheers DD, Gerry,

     

     

    Should be great craic tomorrow.

     

     

    BMCUWPs,

     

     

    I have read a few posters saying ‘I’m in’. Whatever it is, I’m in too.

    Aye, have a grand day tomorrow, those that are going to the knees-up. *raises glass. drains it. slithers off chair*

    I hope everyone has a great time at the hootenanny (american spelling) tomorrow! Wish we could be there.

    Well Scotland may have got the better of Ireland in the group but Ireland got the better of the World Champions and that is why they are still in it, so well done Martin et al. Pity that Scotland could not have got the win, Ireland would have tested Poland’s mettle on Sunday, still will of course but with no possible benefit to Scotland. As regards Martin and Gordon at Celtic, well we could and should have got nine in a row during their time, but it was not to be for a whole host of reasons, none of which I’m about to go over here.

    As soon as I made the choice Germany, I knew both my Irish and Polish grandfathers would be cursing me from above. For differing reasons. :) Will buy back in tomorrow.

  25. Hope all you Bhoys and Ghirls have great day out at tomorrow’s hootenanny. Even you BMCUWP :)

    Nothing ‘royal’ about me I’m pleased to say. One of the first books I remember is Hamilton’s My Queen and I.

     

     

    It was referring to me and the boss, KT.
