Champions fixtures published, another chapter in weekend narrative

342

Winning the league at Tynecastle, or against Aberdeen at Celtic Park, would both be acceptable. The one blot today’s fixture announcement threw up is the possibility that we could win the league while not playing, if Aberdeen fail against Motherwell, a game which kicks off after our match at Tynecastle has ended.

Whatever way it falls, securing five-in-a-row is surely now a matter of when, not if.

After ‘news’ that our chief executive could be a target for a relegation-threatened English club yesterday, our media have moved into the playing squad today. Is there a game coming up they’re worried about?

These transfer pieces are always available. Every club has records on literally hundreds of players. You can write a piece on any player, at any time, on tenuous information, they just happen to pop up at a convenient moment.

Still holding out for a love rat story before the weekend, or a reprisal of the ‘Refs let Scott Brown off the hook’ narrative.

    Hold off on buying those tickets.

     

     

    I have 3 books I have not used (once apart since turn of the year) you can have for your trip.

     

     

    Will save you a few quid.

     

     

    Main Stand Prawn seats 7 rows from front. Touching distance of players. Will be better experience for the wee yin. And normally a wee visit from Hoopy for the kids to boot.

     

     

    Get my details from Paul67.

    the issues themselves are irrelevent to my point.

     

    The aims of the posts were to antagonise other posters not to further any discussions as none were taking place.

     

    You even admit this yourself that you might get the chance to wind them up in 3 weeks time.

     

    That sounds extremely like trolling to me.So if you want to participate in trolling go ahead. Its a free country just dont get all offended if someone actually calls you a troll

    JUNGLEJIM@11:43 (last article) – Wee memory re The Marbles.

     

     

    Remember being in a very young band that was on the same bill as them, up at Strathclyde Students Union in John Street 1969.

     

     

    We did two spots, one either side of the Marbles. We were good harmony group and had one of their numbers in our set “By The Light Of The Burning Candle” – we did it early in our first set, place was still quite empty and Marbles’ roadies were still putting the finishing touches to their gear on the main stage.

     

     

    They stopped and came over to our stage and watched us perform the number – they were impressed but mentioned to our manager that it would better if we didn’t do anymore of their numbers, as that sort of thing was frowned upon in ‘real showbiz’ circles – however we were kind of stroppy and did “To Love Somebody”, their Bee Gees cover, as our last number before they came on.

     

     

    They were long gone into the night when we finished our second-set, so we had no contact, but they were good with some top players in their band – it was just the usual visit to the coffee and roll and sausage stall off Pollokshaws Road for us – last time I thought about this vignette, was when seeing Graham Bonnet on TOTP some years later – he has a mighty voice – sort of an earler version of Michael Bolton.

    Like a good few others I shall not be attending Saturday’s match. No, I don’t think that it makes me a “purer” supporter than those going along. In fact I may not even be able to get a WiFi or mobile signal. Again, irrelevant. Just want to wish the team every success and that fellow Tim’s stay safe.

     

    Thinking about those who are ill or not in the best of health I hope that KevJ is OK. I haven’t notice any recent posts. If you’re lurking Kevin I don’t always agree with you but I know that your blood is emerald green. HH

  7. Hebcelt,

     

     

    We had a conversation on here on Sat, (I think). I didn’t catch your last comment until much later; if I can make it to games, it would be good to meet up. Financial circumstances are determining this.

     

     

    Really would have loved for there to be a match on sat 7th May as it is also a significant birthday for me as well as a significant date for Celtic.. I may have to be like the linesmen in the “You Are The Ref” sketches in NTV and celebrate quietly by myself.

    Hope BBhoy and his duaghter have a great day out.

     

     

    Tickets are going to waste albeit my bhoy is severely twisting my arm to take in one more game before I give books up at end of season. I may need to bow to that. Another reason why this has been such a massive decision for me as it also affect my boys attendance. But that is how strongly I feel about the current lot who are supposed to look after all our clubs interest rather than just our financial interest (or more pointedly, their financial interests).

     

     

    No point in my personal stubbornness getting in the way of another youngin enjoying her first game from a pretty good position rather than from in the God’s.

     

     

    HT.

     

     

    More like I can’t stomach the corporate mince they fill the pies with. Is that 2 many metaphors?

  11. Soujous,

     

     

    The stuff from Sir Cardigan today about how Sevco fans are right to be “bitter” is breath-taking in its arrogance and complete lack of self-awareness.

     

     

    From a man whose reckless spending as manager pushed them over the edge, and who happily gave his imprimatur to Chco Le Green himself, all for a new blazer and a seat in the derelict directors’ box.

    Shame. Still, these are better seats and your ghirl will enjoy it better from down there. Take your camera and get in early for pics with Hoopy. I know the man in the dug so i will also make a wee request that he visit my season book neck of woods prior to Kick Off.

  16. Afternoon all.

     

     

    Haven’t read back but I caught the lunch time STV “news”. Sir Walter was opining that the deid team needn’t have been punished and the rest of Scottish football has suffered because of it. No need to ask if he was questioned about his “assertions”. He only added fuel to the fire by saying their bitterness was justified. No chance of hid being held to account for his comments.

     

     

    Is there something happening. Does he have an EBT or two? Only in Scotland…………….

  17. MWD, thank you, I will be in touch. swelling up just thinking about her first game, my one was up on the stanchions at the Celtic end when I was lifted up and brought down at half time with a big rosette and a macaroon bar in about 68/69.

     

    HH BBhoy

  18. Dharma Bam I hope to be down the Sat prior to the last three home games so could maybe arrange something for these dates, nearer the time H H Hebcelt Ps assume your remarks were aimed at the non flying one!

  19. GlassTwoThirdsFull on

    We were demoted!

     

    It was a punishment!

     

    It was our enemies!

     

    Good grief – talk about telling a lie often enough.

     

    Why don’t they just say they won the European Cup in 1967, and not us? No doubt folk would start believing it. The BBC would anyway!

    Yesterday Souness, today Sir Walter Mitty.

     

     

    The Cardigan obviously lives in a parallel universe where necks remain unmarked after a 4-year blow torch treatment.

     

     

    Why is he even given the time of day – the only word he knows is “bitterness”.

     

     

    I wonder who will be wheeled out tomorrow?

    Disappointed – it’s not me on the photie in Rennes – it’s my mate Paul who was with me.

     

    If you remember I took the photie of the 3 of you under the sign that said “Antiques”.

     

    Seemed appropriate…

     

    Ha ha

     

     

    All the best to the Tommy Gemmell CSC – here’s to the next 20 years !!!

    Does anyone read The Donald’s posts ? I can honestly say I’ve never been tempted too and don’t think I will be…but each to their own…

     

     

    off oot as that other nutter says…

  27. Just read the walturd comments.

     

    Not only is he delusional but his ” right to be bitter” comments are very inflammatory.

     

    The hunnish hoardes will use them as another reason for their hatred and bigotry.

     

    An excuse to be violent no less.

     

     

    Walturd should be getting his collar felt by Yon mob that kettle the Celtic wains.

     

    Despicable, horrible creature.
