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.

Hi All
Looking for some help- looking for a supporters bus that drops off in St Andrews Fife.
Its for my son for after the Ross County game this Saturday.
Any help appreciated!
DD
Your bang on mate.she was the go to for many a good tim.
Talking about Seville.she flew to seville sitting beside the lisbon lions that went and also sat with them at the game.
DD,
I don’t think so.
I was only there for the morning session and the only person we spoke to was a lovely older man, who played for, I think Shamrock Rovers and was once of the books of ManU, in the Giles era.
WITS will probably correct me, when he wakes up.
I must have a double !!
Well…. yet another unexpected meeting with a fellow CQNr! Met JohnBay last night at the Foundation dinner and as always yet another pure gentleman.
Suffice to say that hospitality was at its greatest and much to my surprise Mrs CCB thought it was one of the best nights we have had(that might be due to not sitting beside me!)
Many thanks to my friend P who invited us though the circumstances would have been better had we NOT been there if you know what I mean.
HH JOHNBAY!
Back to digging out the overwinter plant pots and there is a gale blowing between the next door and us!!
Drew
There were loads of Corpus Christi Bhoys and Ghirls in the stadium that night. I was sitting beside Andy Connor and Susan. How I miss folk like that pair.
Your mum and The Lions would have been great craic
HH
I got £5 off the Renaissance, £995 for cash. Just waiting for Dave King to transfer the money.

DD,
Someone less handsome than me?
Could you narrow it down a bit?
I am a Maryhill born Glasgow man, who came here on “missionary” work nearly 40 years ago and stayed.
** LAST MAN STANDING – WEEK 4 **
For any Standers looking in this is just a wee reminder that I’m not issuing any reminders this week.
At least 18 emails still to come in.
Jobo,
Don’t know if you saw my comment yesterday, but as you use Dalmarnock Rd to access the Village for parking at the game, there are major roadworks after you cross the Clyde Bridge, long before you get to the first turn-off into the Village. Major hold-ups expected tomorrow.

This is brilliant Bhoys…
I dont know about buying history but I saw a guy thieving a bit.
It was back in the spring of 1977 on the way back from Wembley after a famous Scottish victory.
He had a stanchion that supports the goal posts over his shoulder.
He had thoughtfully tied his tartan scarf to the end to stop the unaware being poked in the eye.
Other bits of stolen history ended up as revered turf in back gardens or window boxes.
Emeraldbee – I did see that, thank you.
I’ve been hoping to notice you on the Blog to say thanks for your recommendation of the Wilnorn bluetooth speaker. Just £20 plus p+p and the sound’s great from a speaker so small and light. Will be ideal for the ole holiday balconies ;-)
BB
I seen a shorter version earlier.
This one is much better, I have goosebumps and a tear in my eye watching that.
The weans faces when they are meeting their heroes is priceless.

Shouda remembered that. My mammy was born in a kichen in Shawpark Street, Maryhill.
He was a small, elderly gentleman.
One club since 1888…Ain’t that the truth…
HH.
D66- the marketing team are on the ball these days…

One club since 1888 is all well and good – just wish our board would be less cryptic and call thems out as a new 5 year old club.
Bada Bing – agreed, brilliant and welled up at the very last namecheck.
Gene – I agree with you, but maybe this might be the first step in that direction. I can but dream….

Happy Easter to The Belfast Brigade

Easy mistake to make, apart from the gentleman bit!
I was born in a kitchen above the Tabernacle in Maryhill Rd.
TTT
What is it wi Maryhill and kitchen birth??? :)
Fair comment Gene.
DD – Easter greetings mo chara.
Glad you are alright and back posting on CQN once again.

DD,
Unless you were posh, most tenements were a room and kitchen or a single end.
As the sink was in the kitchen and the range for boiling the water, plus a bed in the glory hole, you had all the requirements for an avant garde maternity suite.
Re pubs opening on Good Friday in the Republic – I abstain today – it’s a personal choice and people should be free to make theirs.
Cosy Corner Bhoy,
Good to meet up with you and your wife, glad you enjoyed the night. Looks good for that ticket you needed – will confirm early next week but confident its yours. Only downside is you will be sitting next to me. Check your other pocket there’s a salmon in it. HH
TTT
My granny Delaney produced a five a side team in a Maryhill kitchen. Makes sense now.
Thanks pal
DD – a good song for the next Celtic feel-good video:
One Club, One Heart
Let’s get together and feel alright
