Various (lasy, I know) – thanks for the feedback.
hernia actually went 2½ years ago. I remember it vividly – a home game against Dundee Utd, we won 6-0 and when I jumped up for the 4th goal I felt this shooting dagger in my (ahem) area. Left it a year to go to the docs and on his advice I was ‘managing’ it. But it was gradually becoming more and more of a discomfort so last autumn I started the process of actually getting it sorted. In lay mans terms when it (they!) pops out, providing I can lie down somewhere for 10-15 minutes then Mr Gravity pops it back in. And hasn’t (so far) stopped me running or jumping about in the standing section. But will be good to get it sorted, eventually.
No rhyme or reason to when it ‘goes’. Can run 5 miles – no prob. next day, get up from my seat in work and ‘ping’!
But loads of folk have a lot worse so not really complaining.
Celtic have so many Fighters, Real hard Men, that. Well if the chips were doon.
That is a Real Celt.
Seeing pathetic excuses like Crawford Allan, allowing our Celtic and Scotland players to be hurt so badly. Go away, you are horrible. You are so corrupted. You have No Idea about anything.
Insert Any Ref name.
My Son was involved in a game today, he played well, the other team were more up for it than his. They deservedly Won.
I thought the referee was Fantastic. Horrible conditions as well.
He won’t be going anywhere with the SFA/Bowling Club/Professional people that Know Nothing about fitba.
When EK played Strathaven a year or so ago, the rain was lashing down.
The Ref when the HT interval happened, he came under the Big Oak tree that I was sheltering under.
I genuinely thought he had a Brilliant game – I said to him you have been Brilliant Today – He said straight away, are you taking the piss?
Apparently Singing is a good thing. You get Singing olde songs to yer Wonderful Sister.

Desperately sad news about Billy McNeil.
I met him last year with a fair few from this Parish, had photos taken, chatted for a minute and met his wife and his friend.
The Mhans a legend of the game.
When I met him he was also a gentleman who wanted to spend time with Celtic supporters.
Thoughts with him, his family and friends at this time.
Best memory? So many but this one jumps out right now.
Butcher tried to kick a door of its hinges when coming off the pitch after we had beaten them, soundly, this happened right behind Billy as he was being interviewed, Billy then stated it was important his players had kept their discipline. Class.
The Huns had 2/3 players sent off that day, then we played them a week later and we beat them again. I’m sure you’ll remember the incident and the games.
And Neganon…. Me and Aidan are buying tickets for the St Mirren game, he will be playing that day so we can’t attend the game.
If you and another want the tickets. I’d be delighted to give them to you.

True story, Big Billy, I had the pleasure of meeting Billy. at the Lions 40th Anninversary gig in Vegas – got the lift down in hotel 1 day with him, spoke to me as if we had known each other all our days, got out the lift and my youngest daughter asks me who my friend was :-)
What a gentleman
Now – he’ll needed – again :-) where would you go to get an old record ( 2 actually) and a LP copied onto a CD ???

There was a programme on the radio about that a wee while back. Interesting stuff.
Yip singing and known voices sure do work, my Gran had Dementia, she passed away many years ago, I used to take in tapes for her to listen to, it was the only thing she responded to at the end, before she lost it totally she asked me to put a pillow over her and end it, she asked me more than once, couldn’t do it and to this day I regret not doing it, she ended up in a hammock cos of her bed sores and knowing not a soul, I blame masel for that.

I met Billy about 5 years ago in the Queens Park Cafe when Benny Rooney used to run it. I bought him a pint, brought it over to him and asked if I could shake his hand. As he was leaving he came over to our table, had some photos with starstruck young 50 year olds and had a few laughs about Jinky and Bertie.
There you go , Real Madrid turn it round to win 3-2 and a lot of credit to Zidane for making the right changes. All down to El Clasico next month , I think.
Anyways, back to cheerier stuff, golfing with The Carnoustie Golfer later in the week, should be a laugh as ever

Cowiebhoy –
A couple of years ago I went into Maplin and bought a ‘digital turntable’. About £70. Basically, play any of your old records and, as you listen to them, save them onto iTunes. One connector cable from the turntable to the laptop. Once saved you can then burn it onto a CD I imagine. Listen to me, spouting off as if I know what I’m talking about!! What the project did though was force me into listening to every single one of my vinyl singles and albums. And great when I put my iPod onto shuffle and a track comes on that starts with the crackly sound of scratches….

Does anyone recall King Billy playing for Scotland in 1963 against Spain
And he is still a pwick, [ now where did that come from ] for phoning me at 2, not 1 in the morning, fecking excuse of still being on brit time :-)
Hunderbirds are Gone on
My best memory of Big Billy was when he was manager at a Celtic Park game in the late 70’s/early 80’s. It might have been Aberdeen, but not actually sure of that.
However I vividly remember from my viewpoint in the Jungle, Billy leaping out of the dugout to…..eh…… let the ref know that he didn’t agree with a decision that he had made. Billy obviously said a bit too much for the official’s liking, and the MIB wanted to speak to him face to face about it. Billy, who by this time was on his way back to the dugout, swivelled round, marched towards the MIB, and stood very close to him. As he towered over the ref, I really thought he was going to stick the head on him, but just managed to hold it together whilst he received his admonishment. I don’t think managers got sent to the stand in those days, however I think he did get booked.
Jungle led, the whole stadium burst into a chorus of there’s only one King Billy that’s McNeil…. (thank feck).
Doc on
TET, be careful out there:-)
ACGR, may well be the craziest of all, and I know CowieBhoy!
So for arithmeticians out there, if Aberdeen keep winning, and so do we, will we be Champs if we beat, or even destroy Sevco(if still trading) on the 12th?

Does anyone recall King Billy playing for Scotland in 1963 against Spain
And spanking them 6-2
HH our King
============================================================
Yes.
Away from home.
Towards the end of the game , as the Jocks were stroking the ball around the Spanish fans were shouting:
” Ole …. Ole…..Ole ”
Literally unforgettable.
Just one year after we lost in extra time to the eventual Wold Cup finalists.
Czechoslovakia.
We had some team.
And he is still a pwick, [ now where did that come from ] for phoning me at 2, not 1 in the morning, fecking excuse of still being on brit time :-)
