I was pleased Ronny Deila fronted up for the press conference yesterday. He didn’t say anything particularly revealing but it was reassuring that the pressure of the last week hasn’t seen him hide from searching questions.

Mention of clear the air talks at Lennoxtown was welcome. It lets us know that the fans are not the only ones who believe the ‘air’ hasn’t been right recently. It will also, hopefully, have given anyone harbouring a grievance to get it out.

One of the manager’s biggest decisions for Sunday is who to trust in midfield. He needs players who will respond to the circumstances, and who can open what will be a packed defence. Guys who have been over the ground before, who know how to dig deep in the face of adversity, are also required. For me that means a start for Kris Commons.

    My daughter was at the Sean mc Shane fight tonight with her boyfriend and a crew from the Brazen head, they all reckon the boy was cheated out of the result.

     

     

    He was introduced as Irish although he is Scottish, not a good start considering the the fight was in Ayrshire.

     

     

    Said to to my daughter, well, you know what to expext when a deid team appears next season…Zombies revenge!

     

     

    That is why we need a stronger, clued up manager now.

    Hrvatski Jim JC is of Scottish origin. The only connection JC has to the native American is his fantastic song Ira Hayes. HH

    Scottish /Cherokee origin…..The wonderful Rita Coolidge. One of my all time favourites

     

     

     

    She was born in Lafayette, Tennessee. Coolidge attended Nashville’s Maplewood High School. She graduated from Andrew Jackson Senior High in Jacksonville, Florida. She is a member of Alpha Gamma Deltasorority.[2] She is of Scottish and self-identified Cherokee ancestry.[3]

    HJ,

     

     

    Karen Dalton? Don’t know about Scottish links but she certainly had Cherokee family.

    Yes you are right about that goal. Still remember when Scepovic scored. Think it was you who pointed out he is Stefan Scepovics father ?

     

     

    I travelled to the away leg, what a journey. Left immediat early after an away game at Love street.

     

     

    Great times, great adventures.

    Celtic and Dundee will progress to semi finals and you will presumably win a small fortune from your local bookmaker

    Serious question: What happens if we win 7-0 on Sunday – Griff (2), Roberts (2), Christie (2) & Allan (1)….and Sevco get stuffed 4-1 tomorrow?

     

     

    Probably the same as what happened when we beat Hamilton 8-1 then lost to Aberdeen , lost to Ross County, drew with Hamilton and Dundee.

     

     

    Don’t really care about Sevco.

    Finbar’s father, Ted, began him on the pipes while he was very young – he doesn’t ever remember not playing pipes. He loved the instrument and spent all his spare time practising and soaking up knowledge from other pipers who would come to the house for sessions with Ted. It was normal for the likes of Leo Rowsome, Seamus Ennis, John Keenan, Felix Doran, Willie Clancy and Tommy Moore to be around to see Ted at their home in Ballyfermot in Dublin.

     

     

    By his teens he had won 3 All Ireland Medals, the Oireachtas and many Feisanna – in fact he was the only piper ever to win the All Ireland, the Oireachtas medal and the 4 province titles in the same year.

     

     

    Finbar popularised the pipes worldwide while on tour with his brother Eddie in the 60’s. Many bands followed in their wake, but the duo were awarded Single of the Year by John Peel in 1972 entirely because of the unique sound the uilleann pipes and whistle made, in the context of what was, at the time, a modern pop sound.

     

    They received many other accolades because they were the spearhead of contemporary music of that time. While there was an inevitable progression in Irish music, Finbar and Eddie brought a new Irish hipness to a worldwide audience which would have had no ear for Irish music otherwise.

     

     

    Before Finbar and Eddie, Irish music was for the converted ear. After Finbar and Eddie, it was blended into every other kind of “world” and popular music. It became once again, the music of youth and revolution, as folk had been generations before and also, a means of dealing with political and social problems which the world faced in that, it was a way for ‘common folk’, to stand together against real world injustices, such as pollution and abuses of government power. The illumination they brought to a generation cannot be overstated. Subsequently of course the format was used everywhere from Planxty to Riverdance, Braveheart to Hailey Westenra.

     

     

    Another innovation, discovered through necessity when his bamboo ‘Lonesome Boatman’ flute got broken, he invented the Overton flute with his friend Bernard Overton – now played worldwide and known as the ‘Low Whistle’.

     

     

    The pipes are now enjoying an explosion in popularity and Finbar has always pushed to enable pipes to be made more accessible to budding musicians; to get the means to have them made at a more reasonable cost, and without long, long waiting lists. This is now happening.

     

     

    From 1976 Finbar was the lead singer, songwriter and front man of The Fureys and with that format they achieved international success with songs such as ‘The Green Fields of France,’ The Lonesome Boatman’ and ‘When You Were Sweet Sixteen’. In 1997 Finbar decided the time was right to follow his own path as a singer/songwriter.

     

    A man of many talents he has added ‘actor’ to his list of credits, with his roles in ‘Gangs of New York’, the Scottish short film ‘Paris/Sexy’, the boxing film, ‘Strength and Honour’ but most recently in the highly acclaimed RTÉ series, ‘Love/Hate’.

     

     

    And over the last few months Finbar deservedly gained the Number 1 spot in the Irish Charts in September with the beautifully written ‘The Last Great Love Song’ by Gerry Fleming. And to finish off the year nicely, his album ‘Colours, The Last Great Love Song’ was in the Number 1 spot in the Irish Indie charts in December.

    Great stories about Rita Coolidge’s personal life.

     

     

    1 she had relationships with both Stephen Stills and Graham Nash and was cited as the reason for the breakup of CSNY when she “swapped ” S’S for GN.

     

     

    2 she net Kris Kristofferson on a plane and he curtailed his journey to get off early to be with her…..don’t blame him.

     

     

    They married soon after and formed a great singing duet.

     

     

    She is so lovely that she must be a Cherokee Tim.
