    Mrs BRRB has asked me to moderate my Guinness consumption. I hope she was joking.

     

    ……………….

     

    Just order TWO Half Pints instead of a Pint mate.

     

    That can sometimes fool the wummin folk.

     

    LOL

    There is a group called THE BHOYS who sit together at the back of the south-west corner of the Jock Stein Stand every home game. They sing and chant constantly and obviously add a bit of atmosphere. However, some of their output leaves a lot to be desired.

     

     

    It seems that every time a policemen comes within 10 yards of them it’s IF YOU HATE THE F—-N POLIS CLAP YOUR HANDS.

     

     

    But on Saturday they excelled themselves with that old ditty I WAS WALKIN DOWN THE LONDON ROAD SINGIN THIS SONG right through to AND NOW THAT ORANGEMAN IS DEAD. Dear God I thought we had consigned that childish trash to the 1970s.

     

     

    I’m all for a bit of nostalgia but that is ridiculous. We really don’t need that sort of nonsense surely.

    I have just come on and read back

     

     

    Absolutely no problem with me.

     

     

    Much appreciate the input of your good self and Peter.

    Well, I enjoyed myself on Saturday. It was great to see Celtic turning on the style.

     

     

    I have to say though, that the referee was a complete Richard. He made up fouls that never happened and had a good view of fouls that he ignored. Almost as if it was a trial of shithousery that would avoid VAR.

     

     

    That aside, it was, and always is, a privilege to be there in person.

  6. Big Jimmy

     

     

    Tend to agree with you that the historic ‘evidence’ for the use of said term is weak, and probably wouldn’t cut it in a US Court in Miami. What might convince me is a Celtic Song with the word ‘hayshed’ in it, but I must admit that, up till now I haven’t heard one, even in the days I stood alongside KevJ in the aul Jungle.

    Thanks for the comments.

     

    It would appear that a consensus is starting to develop.

     

     

    Jungle = post 1945 name with WW2 origins.

     

    From a 70’s perspective I had never heard it called the “Hayshed”.

     

     

    However comments on old pictures of P/head aka CP2 always seemed to mention the “Hayshed” with its agricultural style roof — not sure if it was red to add to the farm vibe.

     

     

    Singing — 70’s viewpoint — the Jungle was the main producer of “noise”.

     

    Probably 60 / 40 vs the CE for singing.

     

     

    Walk on seemed to come from the Jungle.

     

    Plus Sailing was popular with raised scarves later on in the 70’s.

     

     

    Still outstanding is the talk of a new stand opposite the Main Stand.

     

     

    Not sure if this was 50’s talk or early 60’s — replacing the Jungle with a stand that extended over Janefield Street. Seemingly big plans until the Council wouldn’t allow the club to build over the street.

     

     

    Might be an urban myth.

     

    Might be long lost history.

     

    Might be Wee FMcC before he left for Canada.

    ……………..

     

    YOU are more than welcome to join in with the other GOOD Guys from CQN NO MATTER what Pub we choose to meet in.

     

    I hope to be amongst the GOOD Bhoys from CQN once again real soon, but it totally depends on how my health is, as I havent been too great for a few weeks now.

     

    Take care and stay safe .

     

    HH Mate.

  10. The gilded youth of today with their names on their sweatshirts.

     

    Their love of history / their desire to re-live the past / their need to batter pensioners.

     

     

    They are like something out a Monty Python sketch.

     

    The quicker they are laughed out of town the better.

     

     

    Total muppets and then some.

     

    Ersewipes of the highest order.

     

     

    Not good.

  11. In other news — a huge hole has appeared in West Central Scotland.

     

    Almost overnight it has appeared — tourists gather to watch in awe.

     

     

    It is the efforts of a single man of a certain vintage.

     

    He doesn’t know he is in one so he keeps on digging with a fury.

     

     

    The spectacle is incredible as the work goes on and on and on.

     

    Round and round into a frenzy — chasing his tail / shouting no haysheds in P/head.

  12. CQN Pub crawl — one pub / lots of crawling …

     

     

    Sounds good — might be able to drop by.

     

    Just keep me in the loop.

    Mad Mitch

     

     

    I think there were plans to build the north stand back over janefield street in Fergusโ€™ time but objections were raised as the plan included the structure extending over the wall of janefield cemetery.

     

     

    Since these objections didnโ€™t emanate from the occupants of the cemetery, I can only assume they came from Huns in the locality.

  14. LT — the humiliation continues.

     

    Sock puppet for 12 months then retires.

     

    Her political collapse has been total.

     

     

    She was loved by the rank and file.

     

    Reality hated her with a passion.

    ILJASB on 16TH OCTOBER 2022 3:18 AM

     

     

    Iโ€™m as happy as any fan that we won convincingly today but note:

     

     

    1. The Hibs defense was the most open weโ€™ve played against for a while โ€“ just notice how much space we got in passing for the goals and then the actual goals themselves. It suits us a lot given the superiority of our players

     

     

    2. Am I right in thinking only JF celebrated his goals with tremendous pleasure. The others were more subdued possibly realizing what happens in the CL and what happens in SPFL against a team that doesnโ€™t park the bus are worlds apart and theyโ€™re still disappointed that they couldnโ€™t make the step up.

     

     

    3. The goals were to some extent due to the weakness of Hibs defense โ€“ blunders, deflections etc. Good crosses for sure for a couple but were any of them truly quality goals?

     

     

    I think Ange will try to face down the board at some point and who knows what will happen โ€“ for his style of football to work against better opposition will demand better players including substitutes. Heโ€™ll try to achieve that and the board will have to agree or see him go. Traditionally the board is risk aversive โ€“ not willing to invest for fear of not getting a proper return on their money. But truth be told CL money and better transfer fees should keep the wolves many miles from the door. See Brugge and Ajax โ€“ how much do they get for their players? They pay more, keep them for a few seasons and sell them on for big money after showcasing them in CL. We need to be more ambitious.

     

     

    โ€”-โ€โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”-

     

    1.it wasnโ€™t the most open defence we have played this season.d.utd?? Your evidence?

     

     

    Rest of your point1 means? Noting what?

     

     

    2. No.you are totally incorrect in your thinking.All riฤฃt up to pt3

     

     

    3. I agree,all the goals gave me no joy at all,in fact I am just fundamentally unhappy at the range of unhappy goals that shower in the green and white happened to make me unhappy at today.infact I shanโ€™t think any more,incase I break into a complete GIRFUY grin,it happens when I see a Celtic goal lead to a Celtic win.i cannae help it

     

     

    โ€œI thinkโ€ฆAngeโ€ฆ.etc

     

     

    I think you need to recalibrate your thinking. your lingo needs to be a little more decisive and less subtly soft n speculative shoiteswipey,if you understand,

     

     

    Ps risk averse since we left the hall in 1887 ILJASB

     

     

    Continuous too.

    Was a number of posts ago since you responded so donโ€™t know if youโ€™ll read this.

     

     

    Hibs more open than recent teams โ€“ you mentioned Dundee Un. I was thinking of St. Johnstone and St Mirren and CL teams who although didnโ€™t park the bus had tight defenses and thought they made things difficult for our wingers and shooters.

     

     

    Re. subdued reaction to scoring I was thinking of GG and Maeda.

     

     

    You donโ€™t appear to like my style of writing, no problem. I tend to hedge when I speculate. I donโ€™t think I am better informed than anyone else on here nor do I want to give the impression that my point of view is unassailable, itโ€™s just a point of view based on limited information to encourage responses, to see who thinks what. So thanks for your response.

     

     

    For what itโ€™s worth, I think weโ€™ll win SPFL again and so we should given our superior resources but I want more for Celtic. To improve in CL or even Europa League we will need to complement our attacking verve with better performances in mid-field and at the back and we may need to buy better players for some positions and to ensure substitutes are better. Our style of play means plenty of injuries and a need for substitutes. Is that sustainable if we want success on our current budget?

     

    =========/

     

    ILjASB.

     

     

    I copied your post and queries above.they still Stand

     

    All of them.esp your point 2

     

    I responded to your first post here p13 at 12.20

     

     

    Your writing style- nothing wrong with it,nowt a bit of spacing can’t sort out..paragraphing etc.

     

     

    It was the content and tone and observations in thinking you were correct when not.celebrations etc.

     

    They are wrong,being af the match and TV show your wrong but in true bannonite form you repeat your wrong observations again this morn..

     

     

    Repetition of your error don’t make them correct.

     

     

    Your kinda all over the place imo.

     

     

    Take care
