Where to start on last night’s CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner? We knocked it out the park. Hundreds came, thousands of pounds were raised, enough to help Mary’s Meals build a kitchen for a thousand more school kids in Malawi, and a £5,000 donation to Lisa Hague’s 30k Challenge for Marie Curie Challenge for Cancer Care.
My sincere thanks to everyone who came along and made the night so special, especially those who stepped forward and helped Mary’s Meals and Lisa’s Challenge. The night could not have happened without Phil Agnew’s experience, work and charm. He is a credit to everything good about the Celtic support.
Special thanks to Tom Boyd, John Hughes, Joe Miller and Tommy Coyne, who added range to the night at the Q&A session. Thanks to Stuart Armstrong, who dropped in to spend an hour with us, and share some of his undisguised joy at being a Celtic player.
Archie Macpherson spoke about the world Jock Stein blew apart when he arrived at Celtic 50 years ago this week. Archie’s range on Scottish football is peerless. He became a friend and confidant of Jock, and gave us an insight into the extraordinary man.
No St Patrick’s Night would be complete without great music and for that our thanks to Patricia Ferns and Liam McGrandles, and a special mention those who put their shoulder to the wheel on the night, especially Geo from Biglens and the great hospitality staff at Celtic.
I’ve many people to catch up with but I’m planning to sleep for the next several days. Cup Final apart.
If all weekends were like this weekend………
If all gatherings were like Celtic gatherings……….

Just in from a wee meal in the toon and a couple of bottles of plonk in All Bar One
I see its a night for posting links to auld sentimental songs on YouTube

4 games against the same team in a row. Got to be a first.
Not that it will happen but in the African nations final Wakaso played middle of midfield and bossed it.
An able replacement for any of our midfielders I think.
Just my opinion of course on what I saw during that competition.
3-0 tomorrow to the good guys.
My son just sent a picture of him and Scott Brown taken tonight. Celtic team are staying in the same hotel.
My preferred XI for tomorrow:
Gordon
Adam Jason VVD Izzy
Bitton
Brown Johannsen

I didn’t see Afcon
If Bitton isn’t fit, would you play Wakaso beside Broony, before bringing back Johansen or playing a half fit Mulgrew?

Was watching one of these stupid cookery programme this morning when the celebrity Brit Cook said this dish can be served with a Glasgow salad, meaning a plate of chips. Between Glasgow salads, and Glasgow goodbyes, I was wondering are there any more of these sayings, do Glaswegians just laugh at them or do some find them offensive
——-
Depends on who’s saying it!
If it’s us about ourselves that’s ok.
If it’s someone like you, that’s fine too.
If it’s some toffee nosed get from down South or edinburgh then it’s not fine and they risk another one of these Glasgow things. The ‘kiss’!

I also would like to see Griff and JG up front together and have KC sit in the hole.
Ronny may however want width.
A lot depends on the pitch condition.
We live and hope.
Excuse me here on a Saturday when Celtic haven’t played..
Well done, Mark Burchill.
For my part, after +30 years graft and 14 months out of contract, I’ve work to attend in Motherwell on Tuesday morning.
Before then, I’m taking my younger son to Hampden on Sunday.
Celtic forever.

I remember that Whelk Shop in the Barras, my old man used to pop in there on the way to the match when I was knee high to a grasshopper. Fair used to scunner me at the time, although I am rather partial to seafood and shellfish nowadays – memories eh!

Listened to the last 10mins of the sevco game today. Young Walsh nearly got the winner. Ball was flying into the net but it hit Boydies erse and went for a bye. “Git oot the road ya fat arse b—-rd was heard coming from the Broomloan”
Before I hit the sack, what is this Sevco bethe5th thing about.
Árd Macha
I can just see a whole lot of you dancing away to this as 12 year olds with your Fred Perrys and Harringtons.
Especially that croppie Bhoy!
