Being there

1087

I’m sure many of you will remember the home game against Dundee in April 2001. We needed a win to be able to secure the title the following week, at home, against St Mirren. After the game Martin O’Neill sounded irritated at the anxiety in the crowd, oblivious to the fact that the loss of a late goal would have denied many of us the opportunity to be there when the title was won.

If you’ve been there for the highs (Aberdeen) and lows (Kilmarnock) of the league season you’ve earned a ticket to the party. Let’s hope the SPL deliver a home game next, as reported.

Apologies for the extended downtime yesterday. Plans are afoot for five new servers to load-balance CQN (which sounds a lot right now but we’ve had similar thoughts before).

Let the record show that the death of Margaret Thatcher brought CQN down longer than when Rangers did the decent thing. Was hearing the news a ‘JFK moment’? I was in the wee room at the time, a treat for all the senses, so I’m not sure how my memory will handle the situation…. mostly audio.

  1. Remember when Paul67 done the great article about the property being sold and ibrokes being leased back and he had the documents

     

     

    I assume he is keeping his powder dry on that one.

  2. Sally “will go back into showbusiness.”

     

     

    ?????!!!!!

     

     

    Ffs!!!

    PMSL!!!!

    You will have to settle for p$**&^n in her urn she is

     

    to be cremated

  5. Great interview with Green,

     

     

    definitely busking, blagging and improvising at least once…continuously:)

     

     

    When he thought he was on firmer ground with the Dallas thing and tried to corral the interviewer into his script…he came across as a pretty malevolent fellow who was just keeping a lid on it.

     

     

    Nasty piece of work

  6. Just heard the ad for Sevco v scumfield lol ! Expect a call to turn the boat around and go home chaps yer geme is gonna be postponed due to Administration problems AGAIN !!!!

  7. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    I would love big Victor to sign a contract extension and it would be better than a new signing.It wouldnt mean that he would stay for certain but it would increase his transfer value dont get me wrong I would love him to stay but money talks.Did Stan Petrov not sign a new contract in order that Celtic would get a better fee or was it Aiden ? H.H.

    This really is astonishing stuff relating to Zombie FC. I may go out and buy some Bombay MIx to celebrate. The Big Hoose may not stay open.

  9. the death of MT with bring a tear to few peoples eyes in Scotland, wales or the north of England etc… no trap can be set with for celtic supporters because we will be one of many groups that will refuse to accept the re-writing of history and a minutes silence for a woman that destroyed thousands of communities.

     

     

    on servo – I don’t see how this fraud will be allowed to continue much longer, surely BDO with look at all the shenanigans and see the creditors have been bumped big style. am sure there will be much, much more

     

     

    the racism – seems the rangers have simply added that to the bigotry, if nothing else at least they are consistent

     

     

    on transfers – would love it if victor extended his contract

     

     

    with about 8 players likely to leave this summer we could afford to sign a couple of quality players in their mid 20’s as well as a couple of young bhoys with lots of potential,

    Lol!

     

     

    You know if we didn’t have so much emotional investment in this whole mess it would be the greatest comedy story ever told.

     

     

    Lovely to see the infighting and everything unravelling but if they can cover up a decade of cheating then it seems they can bend the rules with impunity. Truly sickened!

  11. CELTIC´S Under-20 side booked their

     

    place in the semi-finals of the Al Ain

     

    Tournament with a stylish 1-0 win

     

    against Benfica.

     

    A trialist striker struck the only goal of the

     

    game two minutes before half-time

     

    to seal all three points for the young

     

    Hoops. It also sees them complete the

     

    group stages with six points out of six.

     

    It was an excellent team performance

     

    from the teenagers in soaring United Arab

     

    Emirates temperatures and they did well

     

    to round off the opening stages with

     

    another deserved victory.

     

    Celtic will face local club, Al Ain, in the

     

    semi-final on Thursday, April 11 while

     

    Inter Milan meet Dinamo Zagreb in the

     

    other tie.

  12. I think it’s a bit sinister that ‘well who will have had 13 days rest play the arabs only 5 days after the semis against us.

  13. SSB panel re-imagines inverting the pyramid – everyone to the bottom of division 3!

    @Pmacgiollabhain

     

    I am sure that these scurrilous rumours that contractors are not getting paid by #Sevco are utterly without foundation.

  15. Quote of the day

     

     

    “So far, STV has not been shown the email from the Dallas Cowboys.”

  16. Shameless repost from earlier.

     

     

    A wee poem from Mrs TET

     

     

    Our Bobby came for Maggie, he offered her his hand.

     

    She asked if he was consort, to the promised land.

     

    Ah sure your passage will be safe, there’s plenty there to meet.

     

    Maggie smiled and went with him, till she felt the heat,

     

     

    What is this place you take me ? Where is my throne and crown.

     

    Our Bobby said to Maggie, I think your going down !

     

    Ten brave men stood in judgement, deciding on her fate.

     

    The eternal burning fires of hell, or heavens pearly gates.

     

     

    The first to speak was Raymond he looked her up and down

     

    With Francis, Joe and Michael standing close, Maggie gave a frown.

     

    While we hungered for justice, your judgement sealed our fate.

     

    It’s the fires of hell for you, ye bitch not heavens pearly gates.

     

     

    Then Thomas, Kevin, Kieran and Patsy all gave their thought

     

    If Maggie should enter the gates of paradise or not

     

    Martin smiled at Bobby they agreed her fate was sealed.

     

    For crimes again the IRISH they compassion she would not yield.

     

     

    Then St Peter gave a smile at Gods chosen men

     

    For they were her jury, those bold courageous ten.

     

    What have you decided, what’s her fate, do tell

     

    Then Bobby smiled and pushed her into the fiery bowels of hell

  17. I find it strange that the MSM seem to be turning on Green all of a sudden. I know Whyte has been releasing info but I’m sure this would have been ignored or played down previously.

     

     

    Is there some string-pulling going on I wonder?

  18. The Laptop Loyal trying to salvage the careers of Loyal Cardigan and Fat Sally by tarnishing Chuckles reputation before Jelly and Ice Cream 2.

    Occasional poster here. Why don’t they privitise Maggie Ts funeral.It would be fitting and I’m sure that those who supported her would be happy to invest!Sell tickets and all that. Spiit of the 80s No!

     

     

    ironic that free marketers take out of the public purse, tell us the state should take a hands off approach, while at the same time threw concession and tax breaks to their pals

    Didn’t Green respond to that and say it was nonsense. That means it must be nonsense!

  21. Imagine Chuckles shafting his employer Whyte is that not grounds for instant dismissal ! More Jelly and Ice Cream me thinks this time wae a flake on it mmmmmmmmm ! Who’s fur a wobbly 99 ooooofffffftttt !

  22. I’m getting the impression that Frank/ Francis/ Frankie Bhoy is enjoying being on SSB tonight – some cracking wee digs.

    Never seen such negativity aimed @CG, sum1 has given the SMSM hacks the nod to get agent green n agent whyte!

    Maybe it’s a sign of all out Sevconian civil war and, naturally, their support is for good old Walter and good old Ally. But the web is becoming more and more tangled. How would anyone go about untangling it all?

     

     

    Plus, Ernie’s right. Craig Whyte can more or less take his pick of which media outlet he feeds the next morsel.

  26. think that the 12-12-18 reconstruction will be pushed through now, with anyone thinking sevco was a good horse to back having second thoughts, right about now

    If Wanyama signs an extension to his contract, I will be absolutely DELIGHTED……

     

     

    There they go again on SSB……caller is asked not to use the term ‘LIAR’ (dr or greengo)

     

     

    Why didn’t they pull keevins up when he said that “any Celtic Supporter who says he / she doesn’t miss rangurs is a LIAR.”………mr keevins = King Fud….
