Can you imagine how a formal complaint about the comment ‘Rory Bremner can pretend to be Tony Blair’ would be composed?
‘Dear SFA, a rude man’s joke hurt our feelings. Tell him straight, no more jokes!’
I clicked onto the NEW club’s site to confirm their reaction. As well as complaining about a joke [it wouldn’t hurt if it wasn’t true], they complain about the Daily Record, “the paper is riddled from top to bottom with an anti-Rangers bias”, just to prove they also have a sense of humour.
They also attempted to put a stake in the ground by affirming that Pinsent Masons, now representing Scotland’s champions and sole Champions League participants, did not report to the police that Craig Whyte has any connection to the club/company.
No one has ever suggested that Pinsent Masons made such a report. This is a bit like insisting that Ally McCoist will not manage the Champions League winners this season. Pinsent Masons were far too busy taking instructions from their top client’s chief executive, in his non-comedic role.
What a laugh!

Baku/Black Isle Celt.
Baku.I’d love to find that post again, I can’t remember what I wrote but i can remember it was a long and arduous post for me.
It took me hours and hours to write down what was in my head, The keyboard was foreign to me, Just picture yourself starting off for the first time on a keyboard I would take 10.20 seconds to find each letter, it was a long and drawn out affair, I could have called it a day, that day, but I persevered, and now i can find letters after five seconds, but I’m glad I persevered, I have met many, many good friends from that day on, still meeting more to this day.
PS.if anyone knows how to go back over the years and find that post for me.Free drinks if we ever meet up.
bobby Murdoch’s…
As a player with us he flattered to deceive as much as anything IMO
Toffs still sell the shamrock sttip for £45 .

As I said overnight,his scoring ratio with us was around half that of Brian McClair.
What he did was unforgivable,tbh. Ruined my birthday night oot!

I think that’s probably a more accurate statement of the Board’s position than PL’s carefully crafted, off the cuff quip.
Disappointing and depressing.

Auldheid,
Is it Willie Hamilton you are thinking about?
Also played under Big Jock for Hibs.
Hugely talented player but fell foul of the demon drink if I remember correctly
====================
The very man and a very elegant player. I just looked this up
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Hamilton_(footballer)
A few years later and he could have been Scotland’s Georgie Best.

I was born in 1939.Gin is my preferred drink now. I can drink it and waken up next day with no hangover,I don’t need a fix the next day to clear the head, when I took that fix I would probably take a few more fixes, along with the original fix.
I’ll see you again at one of the Euro games no doubt.
Had an interesting evening on Saturday…..I had a ticket to see Martin Simpson in Milngavie Folk Club( unbelievably talented musician…check him on you tube)
Anyway…was getting ready to go, when i got a call from my brother(Paul, if you are reading…thanks:)….he told me to meet him in a restaurant up there, when i arrived, who was there but the man himself Martin Simpson.
So theres the green man, green mans brother, Martin, and his mate terry
Tell you what….those guys played all over the world, and had some great stories, truly
Anyway…we had our meal, then went to the soundcheck……and when he began to play, i was almost in tears
He went on to play beautifully….guitar and banjo skills, i was totally in awe
Fantastic…..

I must say on many occasions i used to get peeved when some of the points i made were ignored .so i can understand west csc getting the same feeling . Now i just put in my tuppence worth , and be dashed whether my point is accepted or rejected . Ive over 55years following the bhoys ive seen it all , and as far as im concerned that gives me my right to a say . I have also enjoyed a few orange juices with the cqn bhoys , and have never returned home disappointed with anyone i met . So my advice to west csc is post away , and when a gathering is advertised , turn up you,ll be well taken care off . Just one wee thing bhoys . We dont all have to be clever cloggs to post here . Some of us arent as smart as others , a wee bit tolerance please , there are plenty out there ready to pick on us .
Hail hail.
i must admit im not sure about this living wage issue, i would happily work for celtic for free if i could but would i work if minimum wage was what i brought home to the wife? a big fat no would have to be the answer, however if celtic are paying what is the going rate then let those on any wage, on or off the field negotiate for themselves…..:great post corkcelt ! As always h h
Auldheid,
I was at a match at Tynecastle when he gave us a torrid time and thought the same as yourself about him.
I also held Alan Gordon in high regard as a striker.He was one of only 3 players I can recall who gave Big Billy a real challenge in the air.
The others being Ron Davies and,whisper it,Derek Johnstone (although Big Billy was probably a wee bit past his best then)
I thought Alan Gordon would have scored a barrowload for us with the kind of service he would get.
If I remember correctly,he scored 2 against us for Dundee United at CP on a very wet and wild evening when we won 7-2 and Jimmy Johnstone gave,for me,the finest performance of his career.That’s right,even better the v. Red Star.
Ach,see that nostalgia it’s no what it used to be

No CQN guitarists about then?

Auldheid,
If I remember correctly, Willie Wallace waxed eloquent about Willie Hamilton in his book.

Glad you enjoyed Martin Simpson — I didn’t know there was a Milngavie Folk Club — must look out for that.

Willie Hamilton Ex Hearts / Hibs ended up working on the G/Mouth sites as an Electricians Mate (His Faither in law was an auld hand on the sites & new the ahmm Gaffer)
You will also remember wee Johnny Hamilton the Hearts winger…..he was well kent by the Jungle.

Can anyone remember a Celtic right winger (early 60’s) Jeffries or similar (he intigued me as my elder brother who took me to the games (lifted me ower) told me he was a Bluenose…..always remember that.

just watched the dutch tv report on the amsterdam
debacle.
what a difference from our own so called media
i saw them interviewing outside the a.g.m but
didnt realise who they were
they went to st mary s to speak to fans and even
went to the trouble to go out to cumbernauld to
speak to jamie the fan who was badly injured by
a police van.
our own media wouldnt cross the road to get a
true story regarding celtic fans

Best I saw was Alan Gilzean…..we missed out on a real gem with him, although Dundee were the a right good team at the time whereas Celtic……eh …naw.
Best centre in the air Dixie Ingram of Ayr Utd. Remember playing them 3 times in some semi-final at Hampden in the 70’s….he roasted Big Billy each game.
Funnily enough Alan Gordon was also a Hibee. ( a bit delicate for me)

For anyone who has not seen it please watch this strangely censored and edited piece of news footage re Amsterdam.
If anyone can explain the difference between the two versions then I am all ears.

Thats a great wee club in Milngavie….you’d love it
Ive seen some great musicians there, and the guys that run the club are all good people
A great night out….breath of fresh air :)

There was a Jeffrey played on the right wing in 1962-63.
He wasn’t a regular,and I can’t remember him,he didn’t light my torch as you would say.

We need to start from the position of paying a living wage, then our Board can work out how to ‘cover’ in the overall ‘budget’ ……e.g. £x onto the season ticket, say £5, for the difference between what we pay now, and what we should be paying….

It’s a little unfair to have the lowest paid dependent upon the performance of the best paid to be paid.
=====================
Cheers.
Is all the pay not dependent on the performance of the best paid at the end of the day and is that not why the best paid are the best paid?
My point is that there is a cost to paying a living wage and that needs to be recognised.
I’m all for paying a living wage but who pays and in what form is missing.
On reading the Board’s response (which I have just done) it looks a bit like what I suggested.
The only difference is they could have said we hear you but have concerns about increasing fixed costs. However we will ensure that through our bonus arrangements those not on a living wage receive an amount that will redress the shortfall between what they are paid and what would be paid if they were on a living wage when bonuses are awarded.
Thus the objective is met but flexibility to meet changing circumstances retained.
Maybe not an ideal arrangement but better than NO!
BRTH.
I was told by my dad that the young bhoy plays in the darts team in the club.
Won’t say which club in case I cause offence..o)

Paddy — don’t know if you have read it but I do a whole chapter comparing Willie Wallace’s stats to the likes of Gilzean and Joe Mason etc and Wispy’s statistics fair blow the others away.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That would have been my tack rather than a rejection.
It seems to me that support to pay a living wage is overwhelming and that an increase on the SB price would be in order.
There just needed an honest calculation of the full cost and how much that would have added to the ticket price.
Then perhaps a vote on whether the support were happy to pay that cost.
The Barca Mole,
Have to go out but just wanted to reciprocate what you said about the Friday reserve games. They were the only times I was in the old enclosure (which, I learned recently from my auld Dad, is where my grandfather used to stnad) and the old stand.
Auldheid,
Willie Hamilton was a fitba player. Enough said.
Thanks for the memories, lhads.
As for the Living Wage, we should be doing what is right. End of story.
