Mind stumbling in to a hertz pub before a game at Swinecastle. 4of us, and about 20 minutes before kick off. My mate went to get beers, and I thought we better double up. It’s about 8 deep at the bar, and I knew 3 of the pints, but didn’t know what my mates brother drunk. So I shouts his name back in to the bar over a sea of heads and asks him, he was a bit of a mental case and fearless, and he says “lager”, then he notices its McEwans, and shouts back ” aw naw, it’s that proddie lager, make it cider”. About 300 jambos between him and me look round towards the bar…….. So did I. :-)))
I have been more feart, but cannae remember when right now.
Ronnie boy should play a different system when up against park the bus opponents, with two wing back . Who can remember Big Jock introducing a new never been seen before attacking formation v I think Dynamo Zabrek in the 60’s.
Lost 1 nil.
Does anyone remember ?
Coupon well down today, but wee saver on Livie for the draw.

Pre season friendly game at Celtic Park?
Jock introduced us to total football……………..
Later adopted by and claimed by
the Dutch.
Total football……………………..Lisbon Lions.
The prime example.
BTW What kind of football are we playing today?
Pragmatic,but somehow boring.
None of this matters,however.
We have to cope with the unending shame of having TORIES ON THE BOARD.
Some of our supporters wouldn`t understand “All inclusive” until they were excluded ……………
Like Catholics at Ibrox.

Bankier is a banker. No way back for him or Lord Hee Haw. When they speak about the lifeblood of the club, the fans, as beneath them they need to go, now. When we should be united and at the top if our game they have divided us and into range if our enemies. Shocker.

From the Herald in 1993
ELGIN City are considering an appeal following the Highland League
management committee’s decision that has left the Highland League
without champions for the first time in its 100 years history.
Ben Strachan, secretary of the club, said yesterday that the Highland
League management committee had not contacted Elgin City prior to
Thursday’s meeting and they were unaware of the allegations being made
against the club.
He added that once Elgin City have been informed of the rules they
have broken and the penalties imposed he will call a special meeting of
the committee of the club to discuss possible grounds for an appeal to
the SFA.
Elgin City were stripped of the League title after it emerged they had
fielded two players, including player-manager John Teasdale, in last
Friday’s rearranged game against Forres.
The players would have been ineligible if the game had been played the
next day as scheduled because of disciplinary action imposed by the SFA.
The Highland League also levied the maximum fine of #500 and demanded
the return of the championship trophy and the players medals.
The #1000 due to Elgin as champions, title pointage and top scorers’
bonuses will all be withheld. Cove and Caley, both vying for the
runner-up spot, agreed they did not want to win the league by default.
Cove chairman Alan McRae insisted: ”We wouldn’t want to win the
championship that way. We want to win it on our own merits. The title
has to be won by gaining enough points and we failed to do that.
”This is a sad day for everyone concerned. It is a sad day for the
Highland League in its centenary year, it is a sad day for Elgin City, a
club which is also celebrating its centenary and it is a sad day for the
people of Elgin.
”As far as we are concerned the championship is won by the team with
the highest number of points and that was Elgin. The committee made
their very difficult decision after thinking it through carefully and
although no one is happy about it we will abide by it.”
He stressed that Cove at no stage had made any protest about the
situation and had no plans to appeal. As far as they were concerned the
sad affair was at an end.
Jim Falconer, secretary of Caledonian football club, said: ”At no
time did we complain about Elgin’s actions. We are just very
disappointed with the whole affair and how it reflects on the Highland
League.”
Bill Campbell, president of the Highland League, said ”Some people
may think that we have been a bit harsh by declaring the title null and
void but Elgin City knew exactly what they were doing. We feel that by
this action we have restored the credibility of the Highland League.”
Meanwhile, the man at the centre of the row, Elgin player manager John
Teasdale, angrily insisted: ”I won’t quit. I have broken no rules.”
Teasdale is adamant that the only reason he brought Forres game
forward by 24 hours was to allow his players to rest for a day before an
end-of-season friendly against Dundee and accused other clubs of being
motivated by ”jealousy’.
He said: ”I brought the game forward to the Friday night so my
players could rest. We were thumped 9-0 by Dundee earlier in the season
and I wanted to make sure we gave a good account of ourselves on the
Sunday. I hope the club lodge the strongest possible appeal.”
The SFA said that unless Elgin City decided to appeal against the
decision of the League it was unlikely they would take the matter
further unless aspects of the case emerged which they had not yet heard
about.
Their spokesman said the club had the right to appeal to the
Share article
association, as the governing body for football in Scotland. If they
did, it would be considered in due course.

I dont know the answer but, I believe it lies in the hands of some form of marriage between – The Magnificent Green Brigade whom, I’ve said often enough on here that the GB are ‘thee’ last remaining shred of Celticness at Celtic Park these days and, the hard working and much more than that – Celtic Trust.
The great minds / hearts / wonderment that these two ‘Celtic’ organisations can bring to the table should….imho….be somehow, moulded / mixed to produce the type of magical formula that only Celtic supporters should be associated with.
For example…the ‘magical’ display of tifo from the Geen Brigade in their own time and, all off their own backs in the never to be forgotten victory over Barcelona, whilst….behind their backs….Celtic’s hierarchy were handing their addresses to Focus for singing some song that can be bought in a store in the shopping centre so that, the board…rather than fight the fans corner…got an easy life from the establishment.
It’s enough to make yer heart feel sick.
I’m no wordsmith, nor am I a mug.
Fergus tried to take me for a mug.
Brian Dempsey cut the chord because Fergus took all Celtic shareholders for mugs.
Celtic’s stadium….CL nights apart, disny have a heart beat…the Green Brigade apart.
The Jungle flowed with pish but, it had a heart and soul that, Mr Stein and his Lion’s gave theirs for.
The Celtic rune-stones have foretold that…..
The Green Brigade and, The Celtic Trust are a Celtic marriage made in heaven.
Going away now….to pray that it happens.
Celtic Supporters – YNWA.

My friends in Celtic,
Again thanks for the updates during the game. In particular GG as always.
All on here want the best for Celtic, bar none I would think. The acute differences are how do we achieve that.
Times have changed. Football is now global. We can watch any game ( Including our own ) from the comfort of our living rooms or down the pub. That is the competion we face in frankly an unattractive league that has been blighted by cheats.
Even if we had the fab Inesta in our team we would struggle to fill our stadium.
The only constant is my admiration for the fans who make the effort.
For many of our lapsed or ex fans if you like, I dont think that anything we do in domestic Scottish football will bring them back.
The real challenge for our board, over-riding everything is to find a path to a better league.
Incidentally, Great post by Tontine Tim last night @ 09.34 hours. Totally agree with his sentiments.

I know you like remembering the past (don’t we all) especially the 80s when we were regularly involved in Europe in November/December (?) and you like to mention Brian Dempsey and others, how is Mr Dempsey doing on the business front these days or even in the past few years ?
Anyhow glad to hear you are praying, sometimes it’s all we can do, hope your good lady is doing well but like most of us they are lot more stronger and sensible than us eijits
