Being taken for a brainless clown

629

I like Alex Ferguson.  He likes his football and cannot hide the respect in which he holds Jock Stein and the great Celtic team of the 60s and 70s.  Like you and I, Alex is immersed in the history of the game here, a history he contributed significantly to at Aberdeen.

So, when questioned by the Daily Record on the potential shuttering of Hampden, his overwhelming reaction was for the loss of history:

“… leaving your history behind you

“You’re throwing away all that fantastic history

“history you are throwing away

“That’s a fantastic history

“history has been formed

“The history of Hampden is riddled with fantastic games

“We need history to tell us where we’re going”

No football fans are more immersed in history than Celtic fans, it sustained us through many a dark day, so these words will resonate with you.  But fear not, there is a solution!

They can raze Hamden to the ground and have another venue BUY THE HISTORY!  Why didn’t this occur to such a great mind?  Buying history is a fairly straightforward issue in Scotland.  I now own the Crimean War, which I purchased from a guy in Edinburgh last week.

The same vendor was selling the Renaissance, which I would love to own, as I would really like to have painted the Sistine Chapel in the 16th century, but he was wanting £1000 for that, and an internal voice told me I was being taken for a brainless clown.

    Explains why CELTICROLLERCOASTER found it so difficult to get a couple of tickets.

     

     

    Or maybe there are a lot of fans who’d given up for Lent?

    I saw a European qualifier in there a few years ago. Met a bhoy who had lived in the US for 20 years that grew up along the road from me as kids. Small world

    Bournesouprecipe , that’s a very pleasant surprise , today’s game being sold out. Six weeks without a home league must have had a positive effect.

     

     

    Remember to leave earlier if those roadworks westbound on Dalmarnock Road just before Springfield Road, are still in place.

  9. *** LAST MAN STANDING 10 – WEEK 4 ***

     

    It is with Joy in my Heart, a spring in my step, and twinkle in my toes that I am delighted that, despite it only being 10.42am on the Saturday morning, all, YES ALL, of this week’s selections have been made. Amazing what happens when I tell everyone that there’ll be no reminders! Definitely the way to go, going forward.

     

    This week’s selections are a bit more concentrated with 71% of the votes going to the teams in green. And this week also sees the first choice of a drawn game – a brave decision.

     

    Good luck everyone and thanks again for getting your picks in early.

    For what it’s worth –

     

     

    Long retired mathematical physicist me thinks that the wording changes the Sample Space and in consequence the odds on the other being a girl is 2/3.

  12. Jobo

     

    Same for me. Just checked and this is only our third SPFL game at home in 2018!

     

     

    I’ve almost got those “first game of the season” sensations!

  13. I’m a big fan of James Forrest’s writings on https://thecelticblog.com

     

     

    Some of his analogies are very clever, often citing movies or TV shows that I’ve never watched but can follow where he is going. But I must say the last few articles using the game Of Chicken and now Texas Hold ‘Em are up the with the best.

     

     

    And whilst I don’t always agree with what he writes, he certainly knows what he’s talking about.

  14. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Bourne, the number of road works on the stretch of road between Lidl at Richmond Park , Farme Cross then onto Dalmarnock Road over the last 5 years , has been unbelievable .

     

     

    It would be good if our starting central defenders were Comperr, Ajer and Hendry plus don’t get too close to that wee keich , Schalk, who can trip over fresh air.

  15. Gooooooooood Morning CQN

     

    Thank God the Celtic are back today :-))

     

    Feb 18th since I was last at a game

     

     

    Mahe, apologies missed your quiz last night, more will participate, as they get to know it’s on.

     

     

    Now, seeing its Easter Saturday

  16. Big Marvin is 5″11

     

    What has he done to justify a game in front of Ajer, Hendrix, Boyata, Lustig or Simonuvic

     

    Other than some of those mentioned are injured or have been off form lately

  17. Norriem

     

    That was a joke reference to Marvin ‘ happy as Larry ‘ from the scheme doco, hence the smiley in my post

    Apart fae Morton match, we have not seen Marvin. I just want to see what he is like today in the flesh.

    No game for me today(: Agreed to partner mate in opening Shotgun at the golf.First in gets my vote always……

     

    Still…………..

     

    COYBIG!

  20. No game for me either! Ballsed up my restaurant bookings and could only arrange a table for this afternoon. Still, I will be food poncing to full effect by late afternoon. Fuelled by a few Lent breaking beers.

     

    Enjoy the game everyone and take care. HH

  21. Really looking forward to today’s game in Paradise.

     

    Full capacity crowd at the match and at the Gazebo.

     

    In Brendan I trust to deliver the ole DBBIA regulation 5-0 thrashing, however,

     

    I would like to see Comperr in a back three today. ( if he cannae do it v Ross Co??)

     

    I would also appreciate viewing the wonderful Paddy Roberts again and surely a place must be found, on the bench for the Griff.

     

    I know the quiff was away on international duty but I would also love to see the return of teacher’s pet, Stuart Armstrong.

     

     

    Whatever team Brendan picks will have my complete support from the south stand.

     

     

    Anticipating a stellar Gazebo and magnificent performance from the Champions.

    Hope your ticket is going to a good home?

     

    Game today sold out.

     

    Enjoy the golf.

  23. 4 weeks without a home game is utterly bizarre, never known the likes in Feb/Mar in all my 50yrs.

     

     

    Totally understand why a low key game v Ross County is a sell out as a result. It’s like being off Celtic for Lent. We now get a 2 dose fix in 4 days.

    Delaney’s , have a great day in Coia’s and Celtic Park.

     

     

    Fine places to be for your return to football.

     

     

    Enjoy it
