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.

    I’ve not been on as much of late ….. are you going to the soiree tomorrow? If so, I’m sure you will have ample opportunity to act like a teenager, and lots of company!

  4. MIT,

     

     

    If you send an e mail to dubin2016@mail.com. I will forward you the posters for the event, in Dublin next year I think they would look great in Toronto.

     

     

    Maybe even at your club.

     

     

    I will ask Paul for your e mail address if that suits better.

    You’ll be aware that BRTH has highlighted the problems of, those who are homeless in and around Glasgow.

     

     

    I’ve got a small bottle (35cl) of malt, I’ll never drink. So I’ve decided to hold a wee quiz with the whiskey as a prize. A £1 donation to BRTH’s endeavour is your entry fee.

     

     

    For those who want to compete……..Hope BRTH doesn’t mind but here’s his Donations page:

    No, he holed up in Normandy – I am off to the bean capital of France and once I get there it will be the has-been capital of France.

     

     

    It is not an area I am familiar with – Languedoc-Roussillon – but I will see what havoc I can wreak and what stories I can come back with!

  18. Had the misfortune of stumbling across an article in the online Daily Record regarding Anthony Stokes. Written by Craig Swan he asks what has happened with Anthony and declares it one of the many mysteries at Celtic just now. Among the other mysteries…’how on earth did Efe Ambrose get into the Nigeria squad’.

     

     

    Obviously Swan is an arse, he writes for the Record. But what a shocking lack of respect for a professional player. Efe has won the African Nations and has 46 caps for his country. Sure he makes mistakes but his place in the Nigeria squad is merited.

     

     

    Watched Ronny’s interview after the game on Sunday, you can see he is getting fed up with the so called journos in this part of the world.

     

     

    Also glad to see Virgil set the record straight yesterday.

     

     

    It really is a poisonous little country at times.

    Went to see the Blue Jays play against the Tampa Ray’s in July. Enjoyed baseball more than I thought I would. Toronto is a great city!

  25. I think Paddy roughly said that the sfa were anti catholic so he turned his back on them.The interview is I think on Jinkys Lord of The Wing dvd.

    Timreaper …. I will admit that I am not a huge baseball fan … but (i) a hotdog at the ball park on a nice summer night can be fun, and (ii) TO is a great city when the teams do well …. so it is abuzz at the moment, and I’m happy to jump on the bandwagon.

     

     

    Generally TO is a really nice city to live in. Glad to hear you liked it.
