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.

    Just got in and catching up on whats been happening…….what a dreak night , well at least the wee birds don’t mind too much singing in the rain afore they hit their nests for the night……when you think of “singing in the rain” you think of Danny Kaye…….remember him the year 1950 Celts beat the huns 3-2 at Hampden……think Danny would have been a tim. Danny Bhoy was introduced to the teams afore ko……betcha he was all smiles at the end.

     

    ——————————————————————————–

     

    When I think of “Singin’ In The Rain” I think about Gene Kelly! I think you may be getting Danny mixed up with Gene’s co-star Donald O’Connor who did the “Make ‘Em Laugh” routine in the film.

     

     

    However, it was indeed Danny Kaye who appeared at the Charity Cup Final in 1950. Must’ve wondered what the hell he’d got himself involved in! Anyway – Celts were 3-0 up before the huns got their boots on. Makes me laugh anyway…! :-)))

  9. Thanks ConeyBhoy and Through Spaldings Legs. I’ll leave enough time to try the Shamrock first and go to the Champions if it’s not on At the Shamrock

    DHARMABAM@9:00 – No thanks required. Your reply was of a nature that I don’t genrerally receive, and seemed to express further interest

     

     

    I therefore felt that it warranted a more detailed description of the sojorn from the Union to Pollokshaws, and of the ‘bistro’ itself – hope I didn’t bore you too much.

    *chose the Toffees over us much to the chagrin of his family

    Correct.Jamie Bell was the first keeper to have the Bell monicer that Celtic signed.

     

     

    Read this just a couple of days ago.

     

    Celtic’s first League campaign saw them finish third out of eleven clubs who had participated, behind Dumbarton and Rangers, Who shared the title.That was despite the handicap of having four points deducted for fielding an ineligible goal-keeper.Jamie Bell,in the 5-0 away win over Hearts. James McLaren had been the stop gap goalkeeper in the clubs first ever League fixture,against Renton, the previous week.

  19. “Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed– and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment– the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution– not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and sentimental, not to simply “give the public what it wants”–but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.”

     

     

    What the feck is going on at all, at awe.

     

     

    The Clyde phone in died, not yet liquidated, when Terry O’Neill was barred.

    MightyTim…Tommy Ring was indeed a smashing winger. They had a decent team then. I particularly remember Ring, Archie Robertson, Albert Murphy, Tommy McCulloch and Harry Haddock…

    Excellent summation of past present and future.

     

     

    I loved the games against them,no greater pleasure in sport than doing them over. Aye,I miss that. But,for their sins,their demise has seen to it that those days are gone.

     

     

    We won. They died.

     

     

    Anything else is fantasy,a sham. And that’s not for me.
