    VFR.

     

    Here’s my e.mail.

     

    It telling me to put java script back on to access yours on CQN.

     

    I’m not doing that :-)))).

     

    I’ve struggled accessing CQN for a week or so and it took me ages to post that one post last night, thankfully it was worth it, as Almore told me to switch off Java Script.

     

    It would be really kind to send the picture, my wife will be delighted.

  2. I had the honour of seeing both Bobby Murdoch and George Connelly play and they were, along with Jinky, the best Celtic players I ever watched.

     

     

    Bobby was a magnificent footballer who controlled the game for Celtic and would have graced any club in Europe.

     

     

    George Connelly was a fantastic player who had skill to burn. His “debut” at Celtic Park was in October 1966 when he came out at half-time and played keepy-uppy as he walked around the track beside the pitch. A tragedy that he was lost to football in his prime!

     

     

    In today’s money the would both be worth over £50M each without a shadow of a doubt!

    I agree with Cosy Corner Boy – a raffle with a price of £5 or £10 will net you far more than the £200 you are looking for.

  4. VFR800AB,

     

     

    I had the privilege of seeing all 3. Different class each one. Imo, Bobby was the most important. To think that in a 10 year period we had at least 5 of the very best players in the World, as I would add Kenny Dalglish and Danny McGrain to that list, as truly World Class.

    Information request to the CQN Travel Advice department:

     

     

    Thursday morning this week flying from Glasgow to Berlin for 4 nights in the toon centre. Never been to Germany before.

     

     

    Celtic sgainst the huns is on Sunday – so would like if pos to get advice on a good pub….

     

     

    Thanks in advance!

  6. PARKHEADCUMSALFORD, I would agree. Without the service from the midfield the forwards wouldn’t have had the possession or penetration.

     

     

    Danny McGrain is the best full-back I have ever seen in the flesh. Hard as nails; I remember he fractured his skull in a game against Falkirk and I think he played on for a bit! Kenny was a magnificent servant to the Club as a player but I think he sullied his reputation a wee bit in his partnership with John Barnes.

     

     

    He didnae love the club as much as the other 4 mentioned!

    What a picture, clarity amazing. I’m guessing high pixels?

     

    My wife says thank you, you are a star, just like the people in the picture:-)))).

     

    Right, I have to head out now.

    Blarney Pub • Methfesselstr. 4 • 10965 Berlin • Tel.: 030/78898225 the game will definitely be on here. It should also be on in Oscar Wilde Pub, Friedrichstraße 112A, 10117 Berlin ( Tel: +49 30 2828166), but check that first.

     

     

    Been in both this year and they are equally fine!

    Quick question as I have been reading about The Tragic Twat’s refusal to do interviews for BT Sport.

     

     

    Was he ever charged for confronting the ref after the Aberdeen game?

    I haven`t got a clue……the answer is : He definitely was not!

    VFR,

     

     

    Perfect. Now I just time it right for telling my wife how we’ll be spending a few hours on Sunday afternoon.

     

     

    What took you to Berlin this year? We’re just going for the sake of going somewhere as I couldn’t get a week off….

  15. Returning from the game on Saturday in the ACGRmobile, we listened to either the Cosgrove and Cowan programme or the one just before it. The general view was that Celtic were OK but not up to their usual standards of this season so far. Then, a guy who said he had not seen Celtic this season ( I think he has been working forTV in England), said he was surprised to hear these `average` comments as he thought Celtic had been superb. He thought we displayed great passing, great movement and could have won by seven or eight!

     

    I found it very interesting to consider the difference between an `outsider`s` view and that of the local radio men.

     

    I thought he sounded a bit like Mark Wilson. Did anyone else hear it?

    I wonder if he’ll ever serve it,or whether it will be ignored like the £250k fine.

    Monday Club?

     

     

    I’m late on parade already!

  21. ALASDAIR MACLEAN, I am a massive Bowie fan and had always been fascinated by his time in Berlin. I also found the division of Berlin and the fall of the Wall fascinating.

     

     

    I was in Paris with my wife when Bowie dies: I was in tears as he had been a massive part of my life. Knowing I’d wanted to got to Berlin for these reasons she said she would take me for my birthday, So we had originally booked for May, but had to postpone because of a family crisis. We went in July and it was fantastic.

     

     

    The David Bowie Tour is fascinating, even if you’re not a Bowie fan. It gives so much background to Berlin so I still reckon you’d enjoy it. I won’t say too much as it may spoil it if you decide to go! Let’s just say his music literally was a catalyst to the uprising that eventually brought the Wall down.

     

     

    Topography of Terrors is a must see as well; it’s very uncomfortable but a great example of Man’s inhumanity to Man. The Memorial to the Sinti and Roma Victims of National Socialism near the Brandenburg Gate is small but well worth a visit as is the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Berlin and Germany have a very dark past, but it is no longer avoided by the Germans.

     

     

    The East Side Gallery is a great wee walk and the artwork on the remaining part of the Wall is uplifting.

     

     

    Finally, the boat trips are nice and relaxing but worth it.

     

     

    It’s a fantastic place; the only downside of Germany for me is that the local food is pretty much a lump of under-seasoned meat with spuds and veg. Every German city I have visited has left me cullinarily (is that a word?) underwhelmed. But their beer is fantastic!

  22. There might be some truth in the many rumours of impending doom at Ibrox — Water Bills, Vat Bills and Roof Repairs — but we really must be aware of the wishful thinking aspect of all of these tales.

    Wishful thinking,aye. If it was anyone but the huns,I’d dismiss it out of hand.

     

     

    As would most people.

     

     

    That I think there’s likely more than an element of truth in it is down to their ingrained criminality,not my gullibility.

  24. HOT SMOKED, I did. I’m actually trying to do some work this morning and it’s getting in the way of CQNing! A bit of an inconvenience so it is. I’d already started to type some info for Alasdair before he asked the question about Berlin, so I finished that off.

     

     

    My e-mail is vfr800a8@me.com if you want to ping me a mail; if not, I’m sure Paul will oblige. If not, I may be joining you and ACGR on Wednesday in Coias anyway so we can catch up then.

  25. BMCUWP – S and I will head to Loch Fyne for a couple of days R & R before the game on Wdnesday. The football schedule for this week scuppered our original plan for a week in the sun, and of course my desperation to spend some more of my Ascot winnings ;)

  26. saw you talking about the rendezvous cafe in duke st the other day, did you know its a display at the new transport museum…..my dad used to take us there in the sixties, fair took me back

    VFR,

     

     

    Much appreciated – my wife was researching and these are the things she was coming up with…apart from the Bowie tour….I’ll mention that to her.

     

    Not sure if I’ve told this story before here but…

     

    In 1989 I was sharing a flat in Aberdeen with a good friend of mine. He worked 2 on 2 off a a roughneck. On his 2 weeks off he would often tour Europe on his bike. Long story, but we shared a communal camera….bought on a Scotland away trip. Anyway, he happened to be in Berlin not long before the wall came down and had photos of himself and the bike at it.

     

    After the wall came down, these photos became irreplaceable…..and he would ask me where the film that was in the camera was. It took me years to admit that at a wedding in Oban at the end of the summer, while drunk I couldn’t figure out how to get a finished film out of the camera and had hit on the bright idea of disengaging the safety catch by removing the battery…..which allowed me to then open the door….removing the film which unravelled like an uncoling spring…..Even in the mists of drink I knew everything on that film was gone forever and I have a memory of it flying into the bin behind bar.

     

    He and his wife were home a few months ago…and he’s still casting it up.

    You certainly have a point re the increase in likelihood of these matters being accurate where the Huns are involved but I did not mention, indicate nor suggest gullibility.

    More winnings from Ascot?

     

     

    Well done,that man. Always highly delighted to hear of the bookies getting right good kicking!

     

     

    I napped the winner of the first,nice price too,but got swiftly back into my normal groove thereafter.
