    On the B Side of that Matt McGiin song was a great wee song called..

     

    “Im looking for a Job”.

     

    I still sing it to this very day and the chorus is …

     

     

    ” Im looking for a Job with a Sky High Pay,

     

    A 4 Day week,

     

    and a 3 hour day,

     

    Its maybe just because Im inclined that way…

     

    But I never did like being Idle”.

    Big Jimmy – my son in law got 43/1 a Ross county and Leverskusan double.

     

     

    I think with William hill on line. He said it’s worth a wee fiver.

     

     

    Might look myself after I take she who must be obeyed for the messages.

    Cheers.. a couple of bhoys I know have been betting 1-0 & 2-1 against the Huns since their Dubai venture … although one of them was “raging” as he only bet Hamilton single at 18/1 and didn’t put the correct score on :-) gamblers are never happy (I should know :-) although on the gambling front I don’t need to win money to be happy if the Huns aren’t winning

    SATURDAY 7TH MAY 1981

     

     

     

    I received a most welcome note tonight from Bernie, my sister. old Bernie. I love her and think she’s the greatest.

     

     

    I am now convinced that the authorities intend to implement strict isolation soon, as I am having trouble in seeing my solicitor. I hope I’m wrong about the isolation, but we’ll see.

     

     

    It’s only that I’d like to remain with the boys for as long as possible for many reasons. If I’m isolated, I will simply conquer it.

     

     

    A priest was in today, somewhat pleasant, and told me about Brendan O Cathaoir’s article in The Irish Times during the week, which I saw. We had a bit of discussion on certain points, which, of course, were to him contentious. He was cordial in his own practised way, purely tactical, of course, and at the same time he was most likely boiling over inside, thinking of the reference to this week’s AP/RN (February 28th issue) calling him a collaborating middle-class nationalist, or appropriate words to that effect.

     

     

    He is too, says I, and I sympathise with those unfortunate sons of God who find themselves battling against the poverty, disease, corruption, death and inhumanities of the missions…

     

     

    I am 61 kgs today, going down. I’m not troubled by hunger pangs, nor paranoiac about anything pertaining to food, but, by God, the food has improved here. I thought I noticed that during the last hunger-strike. Well, there is a lot at stake here.

     

     

    I got the Irish News today, but there’s nothing in it, that’s why I got it.

     

     

    I’m looking forward to seeing the comrades at Mass tomorrow, all the younger looking faces, minus the beards, moustaches, long rambling untamed hair matted in thick clumps.

     

     

    One thing is sure, that awful stage, of the piercing or glazed eyes, the tell-tale sign of the rigours of torture, won’t be gone – if it is ever removed. I wonder is it even conceivable that it could be erased from the mind?

     

     

    We got a new comrade during the week. Isn’t it inspiring the comrades who keep joining us? I read what Jennifer said in court. (On being sentenced, Jennifer McCann said: ‘I am a Republican prisoner of war and at the moment my comrade Bobby Sands is on hunger-strike to defend my rights as a political prisoner.’) I was touched and proud, she is my comrade.

     

     

    I’ve been thinking of Mary Doyle and Ellen McGuigan and all the rest of the girls in Armagh. How can I forget them?

     

     

    The Screws are staring at me perplexed. Many of them hope (if their eyes tell the truth) that I will die. If need be, I’ll oblige them, but my God they are fools. Oscar Wilde did not do justice to them for I believe they are lower than even he thought. And I may add there is only one thing lower than a Screw and that is a Governor. And in my experience the higher one goes up that disgusting ladder they call rank, or position, the lower one gets…

     

     

    It’s raining. I’m not cold, my spirits are well, and I’m still getting some smokes — decadence, well sort of, but who’s perfect. Bad for your health. Mar dheas anois, Oíche Mhaith.

     

     

    SUNDAY 8TH MAY 1981

     

     

     

    In a few hours time I shall be twenty-seven grand years of age. Paradoxically it will be a happy enough birthday; perhaps that’s because I am free in spirit. I can offer no other reason.

     

     

    I was at Mass today, and saw all the lads minus their beards, etc. An American priest said Mass and I went to Communion. One of the lads collapsed before Mass, but he’s all right now. Another was taken out to Musgrave military hospital. These are regular occurrences.

     

     

    I am 60.8 kgs today, and have no medical complaints.

     

     

    I received another note from my sister Bernie and her boyfriend. It does my heart good to hear from her. I got the Irish News today, which carried some adverts in support of the hunger-strike.

     

     

    There is a stand-by doctor who examined me at the weekend, a young man whose name I did not know up until now. Little friendly Dr Ross has been the doctor. He was also the doctor during the last hunger-strike.

     

     

    Dr Emerson is, they say, down with the ‘flu… Dr Ross, although friendly, is in my opinion also an examiner of people’s minds. Which reminds me, they haven’t asked me to see a psychiatrist yet. No doubt they will yet, but I won’t see him for I am mentally stable, probably more so than he.

     

     

    I read some wild-life articles in various papers, which indeed brought back memories of the once-upon-a-time budding ornithologist! It was a bright pleasant afternoon today and it is a calm evening. It is surprising what even the confined eyes and ears can discover.

     

     

    I am awaiting the lark, for spring is all but upon us. How I listened to that lark when I was in H-5, and watched a pair of chaffinches which arrived in February. Now lying on what indeed is my death bed, I still listen even to the black crows.

  11. fourstonecoppi on

    Loved this too. Was this the A side to ‘i’m looking for a job………..or is old age befuddling me!

     

     

     

    THE JUNIOR CUP FINAL

     

     

    The day of the Junior Cup Final, is a day I’ll never forget

     

    The other side’s goalie was famous, he hidnae let wan past him yet

     

    And on me my team wis depending, as the centre tae lead the attack

     

    Oor manager say nae defending, jist git in there an nae hodding back

     

     

    Fae the kick off a toor down the middle, an my wingers baeth matched me wi speed

     

    A passed it oot left fae a dribble, he lobbed and a nodded ma heid

     

    Wan nil that wis just the beginning, for it aw went accordin to plan

     

    There wis never nae doot wha wis winning, for it hauf time we had them 10-1

     

     

    I’ll tell yi that goalie wis full of defection, for we kept oan increasing oor lead

     

    He aye dived the other direction, as a nodded in wi ma heid

     

    I’ll tell yi that goalie wis greetin, for he never had no chance at all

     

    20 goals that’s how he was beatin, awe by me and my nodding the ball

     

     

    Well ah met that poor goalie this morning

     

    And ah thought, hey ah hope there’s nae fuss

     

    So ah nodded ma heid in the passin

     

    An he went and dived under a bus

  12. Melbourne Mick on

    HT – good to see you here bud.

     

     

    The excerpts from Bobby Sands ( MP) are compelling, thanks for sharing – a wee favour, consider hanging about and sharing yer chat on Celtica on This Dear Green Place as well!

    I remember my pal’s Dad playing the Matt McGinn record over in his house and that was my intro to him. “McGinn of the Calton” is a good read.

     

     

    Regarding, the sixth trophy, I believe it to be the the BBC’s Quizball trophy which we also won that day. Our team was Big Jock, Big Billy, Willie Wallace, Jim Craig and each team was allowed a guest. Ours was John Cairney.

     

     

    This man Craig* and that man Cairney were standouts. You could score directly by answering a difficult “Route 1” question, which Jim did with ease and John did with humour.

     

     

    Hope this jogs a few memories.

     

     

    *By coincidence, The TV series “This Man Craig” was shot mainly in Cumbernauld and John Cairney’s aunt stayed in our street.

    County will not be presented with a better opportunity to beat the hun as today.

     

     

    In terms of what is left of their season, this is the beginning of an important week for Sevco.

     

     

    We’ll find out today how much their players want Gerrard as their manager.

    Thank you but the truth is that I have an awful lot going on just now and consequently don’t have the time to get involved in discussions etc which is why I can hang around.

     

     

    These are incredibly special times to be a Tim. We are blessed to witness it.

     

     

    Take care and God Bless.

    Townhead Bhoy

     

    As you say Quizzball was indeed another trophy for the TIC. One of the (in)famous answers was by Willie Wallace “what is a Garyowen” Willie answered ” a tipster in the Daily Record” instead of a punt up in the air at rugby. Think that was the only Wispy tried to answer

  23. bankiebhoy1 on

    HT…..

     

     

    no bother bud!

     

     

    We all have busy lives, I appreciate that.

    Thats the first half watched, so far wee Jamesy is my Numero uno, but

     

    so many playing well, and although he’s got his faults ( which player hasn’t? )

     

    big Nir adds so much composure to our back line.

     

    Right top the jug up now and back to join the Green Brigade.

    The Diaries are absolutely incredible. They are not advocating violence or war, but they are compelling.

     

    What a mind, what an intellect, what Heart, Bravery & Courage from a working class boy from Belfast.

     

    I can’t for the life of me, see why any Poster would object to their Publication on these pages, but there you go.

     

    Proud to have met his son, proud to have prayed for him in the cell where he died.

     

    Thanks Hamilton Tim, God Bless You.

    I live not too far from Milltown cemetery, I often take my wee girl for a walk through it.

     

     

    Yesterday I again took her to Bobby’s resting place in the republican plot and we said a prayer. I often hear the famous ‘our revenge’ line in my head when I see her smile.

     

     

    The age of the young people buried beside Bobby really emphasises what a tragic cost was endured during the conflict. We must never go back to those dark days.

  33. Big Jimmy on

    Sorry to some Posters, but you are wrong on both counts !

     

     

    re Matt McGinn…The “A” Side of “Im looking for a Job” was…” The Bhoys from Lisbon”.

     

    ” he sang…” We’re the Bhoys who shook up Lisbon, we showed Inter some of our tricks,

     

    in the year of ’67…sure of trophy number Six”>

     

     

    Also,,,The Quizball Trophy was NOTHING to do with Celtic and/or Matt McGinn singing about “Trophy Number Six”…it was about what happened on the field of play when we gubbed Real Madrid 1-0 soon after the glory in Lisbon !

     

     

    HH

  36. Philbhoy on

    I remember that quiz too.

     

     

    Celtic chose “route 1” and the answer was polyvinyl chloride. (answered by Jim Craig)

     

     

    What was the question?

  37. Almore on

    Big Jimmy: Yes, I had a great day in great company and really enjoyed our five goals.

     

     

    You look after yourself and hopefully you’ll be in better shape to meet up next time I’m over which will be sometime after Easter.

  42. Big Jimmy on

    John Cairney and his brother Jimmy Cairney were raised in Parkhead.

     

    John Cairney was 90 years of age on Feb 16th 2020.

     

    A close friend of the Cairney family was…wait for it….

     

    Tiny Wharton the Ref !
