    My mate was held off Bonner in Cologne Airport, after he told us he wasn’t interested if we could pull back the 2 goal deficit, as he said he wouldn’t be playing….

    Fergus, I didn’t sign for you or for Lou Macari. I signed for Celtic.

     

     

    …………………….

     

    If true

     

     

    Maybe he should remember that it was Fergus who got rid – not Celtic

    Wow imagine calling somebody a soup taker?

     

     

    Soup-taker (Ireland) a person who has sold out their beliefs, referring to the Great Famine of Ireland when some Catholics converted to a Protestant faith in order to gain access to a free meal.

     

     

    *Watching “who do you think you are” one night and the guest was Irish/American actress comedian Molly Shannon.

     

     

    She is fiercely proud of her roots as her maternal grandparents were born in Ireland, with her grandfather being from Cloghmore, Achill, Mayo, however at the age four her mother, younger sister and a cousin lost their lives in a MVA so she didnae know too much of that side of the family.

     

     

    So she was quite disturbed tae learn that even though she was brought up a Catholic her grandparents, Hugh and Bridget, religion on their marriage certificate was Church of Ireland, so over they go tae Mayo tae investigate this.

     

     

    It was there that they learned of a desperate tale of survival, the marriage was performed in a Church of Ireland ceremony, despite Hugh and Bridget, and their families, being Catholic.

     

     

    This happened during the potato blight when food was scarce and survival was a desperate, day-to-day struggle.

     

     

    Edward Nangle, a Church of Ireland priest, brought food and supplies for the starving Catholic population of Achill, but gave preferential treatment, food, and resources to families that converted to Protestant Church of Ireland.

     

     

    Many refused, and the cost of that refusal was often starvation, for others like Hugh and Bridget, they resolved to do whatever it took to survive, so they were married by Edward Nangle in a Church of Ireland parish on 22 February 1851, indicating that they had decided to convert.

     

     

    Many who converted to escape hunger reverted back to Catholicism, and the same was the case for Hugh and Bridget once the Famine was over.

     

     

    Incidentally samples of the soup plates and cutlery were shown and they were very small so it indeed must have been desperate times.

     

     

    I’m pretty sure I would have done the same for my family. Still would have supported Celtic though lol.

     

     

    After watching that show and having family who originated on the west coast of Ireland I see these “soup takers” in a different light.

    When i was around 11 Celtic played away at Buckie Thistle in pre season.

     

     

    After the game we waited for the players to leave so that we could get the programme signed (which I still have).

     

     

    Bonner came out and brushed past me (fair enough) but then actually pushed my Mum out of the way so that he could get on the team bus.

     

     

    Ever since Bonner has not been liked.

     

     

    I was up visiting my parents at the weekend and we decided to watch the Jack Charlton documentary. When Bonner appears on the tele my Mum uttered her usual swearword every time Bonner makes an appearance on a tele since the Buckie game :O)

     

     

    Cracking Charlton documentary, very sad in parts and with Bobby also suffering from dementia, some footballing family but the brothers were chalk and cheese.

  7. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Can’t comment on Pat Bonner’s character or what makes him tick.

     

     

    Have never met him but I’d imagine he is a Celtic fan through and through.

     

     

    Watched him play football literally hundreds of times.

     

     

    During the double winning season of 87-88 he was awesome.

     

     

    Hardly made any errors.

     

     

    Made a handful of unbelievable saves which secured us points.

     

     

    Most other seasons he was, IMHO, average.

     

     

    And good for a howler at least once a season.

     

     

    Admittedly, across 1986 – 1989 we also tried Latchford, Rough, McKnight and Andrews and couldn’t do any better.

     

     

    Have listened to him a couple of times and found him to be uninteresting, uninformed and uninformative.

     

     

    So fits right in at BBC Sport Scotland.

  8. Hot Smoked on

    FWIW

     

    I don`t have any problem with those who did what they did to receive the soup ( although I have no time for those who `forced` them to do so).

     

    I also have no problem for those who use the expression to describe the all too many ex-Celts in the Media who behave in the required fashion in the Scottish Media.

    HOT SMOKED

     

     

    It’s well documented that Fergus didn’t want Lou Macari, or Andy Walker.

     

     

    There’s a generally well held opinion that it helped form Andy Walker’s unhealthy obsession of being overly opinionated never in a good way towards his old club.

     

     

    The rest like they do with Paddy Bonner, just think he’s a non entity.

  16. onenightinlisbon on

    This being a Celtic site should allow for open opinions. Not blinkered in Lenny we trust sort of stuff….

    This gave me a spine tingling moment, stunning work, dont know how i missed it before,

    whoever the co-commentator is on the hibs game (is it billy dodds?)

     

     

    after their first goal he said

     

     

    “it’s no more than they deserve”

     

     

    after their 2nd goal he said

     

     

    “it’s no less than they deserve”

     

     

    not sure he has any idea what he is on about

    Philbhoy

     

     

    Congratulations. Hope you have had a great day. I “celebrated” the same anniversary last week.

     

     

    GG and Corkcelt : glad to hear you are both ok.

    Your admirable defence of Packer Bonner would carry more weight if you could actually spell his name properly.

  33. Timbhoy2 on

    I think it’s about time looked at there media team The Record ,The Sun,Clyde ,BBC Scotland and all them other anti Celtic outlets,They really get a free hand from our club which leads them to print and say anything that is down right disrespectful,Our Club are to nice to the Media in this country,and we know what happens to people who are nice ,I’ve said for a long time as others have said it’s time to act and start showing some on the media ,we mean business,enough is enough,Look at that mob Sevco in the media’s eyes they can do no harm ,but everyone knows what they have been up to including sad to say our Club the biggest culprit off them all,Finally I’m sure they Sevco have a few in the media ,and employed by them to keep everything squeaky clean ,one example being when they had a party for Arfield Birthday ,incidentally he wasn’t at his birthday Party ,believe that if you like ,and other things that they are involved in,trying to be the good guys with this racism on Karama ,but I’m sure they will get found out for telling lies and there players punching opposition players ,

    Had to go pick up the kind ……………… 1 degree, gritters out, ffs.

    55 degrees then?

  36. JHB on

    The recent “don’t touch him with a bargepole” rhetoric directed at Roy Keane was/is just about the same as directed at Davie Moyes not so long ago. “He that laughs last, laughs the longest”. Well done so far Davie – hope you make it to the CL.

     

     

    I apologise to Packy Bonner in using an ‘A’ instead of an ‘E’ – simple error which was bound to attract gratuitous pedantism – I was not disappointed – “never mind the quality – feel the width”

  37. westcraigs on

    Brendan Rodgers sitting third in the premiership. David Moyes sitting fourth.

     

    We had Brendan and we could have had David.

     

    Says it all about the people who run our club.

  38. Big G on

    Hoping for something uplifting to start tomorrow, I reckon we could all do with a shot in the arm, no not that one.
