    There isn’t much that the club can do now with regards to Ki,we have to sell because his contract is nearly running out,however he should still be sold for nothing less than £8million,maybe hold out for £10million.

     

     

    Both 67 & wee Matthews are a different kettle of fish though,they are both nailed down on relatively long-term contracts.Celtic hold all the aces with regards to those two.

     

     

    We are going to dig our heals in here,pay the true value of our footballers,or else gtf.And if they are not happy – they can warm the bench,or go and play in the development squad – it’s doesn’t matter to us sure,they are young enough to play in that team,plus i dare say they are not big earners.It’s their call.

     

     

    And Lenny is the very man whom will ensure that our club will not be ripped off.

    Magnificent work mate! Will donate tomorrow and hopefully collect a badge next time I’m up, moved to Belgium so looked at the fixtures and November 24th I think vs St.Mirren should be my first home game of the season!

    Really enjoyed meeting everyone in Bar67/Phoenix tonight.Managed to leave before too drunk,well,just.

  4. Hi BRTH,

     

     

    I remember my Dad telling us about the PoW game, he did indeed play in it and the players were piped onto the pitch with a lot of Irish tunes being belted out by the locals as the teams were escorted through the streets of Duntocher.

     

    I believe it was after hostilities ceased and the PoW were to be repatriated shortly thereafter. I think it ended in a draw but remember most that my Dad said it was a carnival atmosphere. Great to meet you last night and hope to keep in touch. Cheers PB

    Will reserve 2 of the new badges for you. Tell me, do they run Celtic quizzes from Belgium on a Friday night? Could do with some help :-)

    Moved on through the tiny pitterpatter of Glasgow raindrops to the Whistlin Kirk and met up with Smashing Milk Bottles, Matt_E and RoccoBhoy for a couple before going home. A good night.

    Fair comment.

     

    Cynicism is part of the Scottish psyche.

     

    Don’t be carried away by all this Olympic

     

    pro UK nonsense.

  8. Hi Ferrytim,

    I have no knowledge of the game you refer to, although I would imagine that it would be a distinct possibility. Where I did see the POWs play was at the school park on Clyde St., behind OHR ‘chapel’. They came down on the wee single-deck tram & were unescorted, which now seems strange.

     

    They played a local Bisley Corner select & it was all very relaxed & good natured.

     

    I believe a few of the German guys stayed on after the the war.

     

    Can’t really pinpoint the date for you but it is something that has always stuck in my memory.

     

    Not sure if Charlie played but there were at least 3 or 4 McGinley’s in the Clydebank Hibs team around that time who would have been the nucleus of any Bisley select.

    What about those folk that have no wish to be a part of GREAT Britain,and have no affinity or affiliation with it whatsover…yet are forced,against their wishes,to be labelled as British subjects?

  11. CRC

     

     

    Merci :o)

     

     

    And yes I believe they do, pop me an email about dates you want me, I’ll just have to try and remember the time difference and not start the quiz at 8pm when it’s 9 over here!

    Yes it was great to meet you too.

     

     

    Yes your dad did play in it– that is partly why I am looking into this– because my dad played in the game too!!

     

     

    Not only were the team piped on to the pitch, the Band started playing at the bottom of Kilbowie Road and the team and the crowd apparently marched all the way up to Duntocher!!!

     

     

    Spoke to my dad today and he was delighetd that we had met.

     

     

    He was telling me what a good player your dad was, and that he was very unlucky with injuries. He had a great partnership with Hughie Long.

     

     

    He also had a great success against Willie Woodburn and ran him ragged– and Woodburn was considered the best centre half in the country.

     

     

    You mentioned last night that Celtic signed quite a few Boys Guild players at the time. I think that included Alec Bodin and one of the Hammill brothers as a potential goalkeeper— although I don’t think that he got a look in as Celtic has the amazing Wille Miller and Rolando Ugolini at the time.

     

     

    Any info I get I will pass on.

     

     

    Cheers– and well done on the golf!!!

    It’s funny I was screaming with delight at the tv when Ennis, the ginger jumper and mo farah won gold for team GB, yet screamed with delight as the team gb footballers got knocked out by Ki!

    Thanks for that– I will check that with my old man.

     

     

    He recalls playing up at Glenhead…. marking a dark skinned guy who locals referred to as “Sabu” after the Indian Film star of that name. Apparently the guy wore a hair net when playing and was pretty quick.

     

     

    My old man was a “clugger” and did a “Yogi Hughes” on him which slowed him down a fair bit.

     

     

    However, as the POW’s were popular with a lot of local folk — my grandad told my dad to take his time getting changed because some were none too pleased at the way he had been kicking poor “Sabu” up and down the park!!!

     

     

    Yes I think a lot did stay on after the war.

    By the way

     

     

    Take the comments of Billy Dodds, Walter Smith and some other stuff today and I think you can start to see the pleas in mitigation coming out even before the verdict has come in!!!!

     

     

    Especially from those who want to deflect the heat away from them……..

    You have been watching too much BBC tripe,tripe that i am finacially contributing to…against my own wishes,i hasten to add.

  19. Ghuys,

     

     

    If you get bored with –

     

     

    The movies

     

    Opera

     

    Theatre

     

    Eating out

     

    Going to pubs

     

     

    Can I recommend the 62 to Baillieston for your evening entertainment ( aka the Fenian bus ). Only £1.85 from Glasgow city centre to Baillieston and for 30 minutes you get magnificent entertainment.

     

     

    Tonight’s entertainment included the regular drunk, the woman who wet herself and the driver being asked if he was “wan a the mcgoldrick boyes”, by a wee wifey who had had too many sherries.

     

     

    Priceless.

    estorilbhoy

     

    And some say money doesn’t go far these days.a £1.85 for all that entertainment,lucky you.

  21. What a tweet. LOL.

     

     

    @TonyMcKelvie

     

    In the battle of wills going on at Celtic over Jordan Rhodes, I hear Neil Lennon played the Daryl Murphy card today. Clever.

    That would be Mick MC Goldrick’s bhoy – a fantastic dog trainer but a shoite coach driver :-))

     

    A quick 62 to Baillieston then a wee Macs Cabs to Coatbridge?

  23. Estorilbhoy

     

    Similar experiences on 267 bus to Halfway

     

    although there is usually Buckfast a plenty

     

    from the the punters who have been to

     

    the Edinburgh festival.
