There will be no mention of ‘Drama Queens’ from me, but those who were uncontrollably distressed by ‘defeats’ in meaningless friendlies will no doubt be delighted to lean a Celtic team largely staffed by undergraduates got the better of Brentford yesterday. The rest of us remain unmoved, although I was pleased Amido Balde received some encouragement.
As many of you will know, the LostBhoys have been broadcasting podcasts covering Celtic’s history in recent months. It has been an incredibly professional, informative and entertaining look at our club through the years. This weekend they broadcast a decade I helped them cover, 1950-1960.
It encapsulated a seminal period for Celtic. When the SFA ruled the club would face suspension if they continued to fly the Irish flag, we could have gone out of business, or forever been robbed of our heritage. The decade saw many of the great names in our history at Celtic Park: McGrory, Tully, Stein, Fallon, McNeill, Chalmers, Auld, Gribben and Hogan, as well as the ever-influential, Sir Robert Kelly, but to those at the time it looked like we were heading nowhere. Celtic lost more games in the 50s than in any other decade, but as we know, it’s darkest before the dawn….
There are great contributions from Charlie Gallacher and John Fallon, and Terry Dick, son of Glen Daly, who recorded The Celtic Son, told us how the song came into being (it was basically the work of Charlie Tully).
You can download this episode here but catch them all, you’ll be glad you did.
Two days until football returns to Celtic Park; can’t wait.

Be proud of yourself sir, and keep your eye on the task ,
No going back now as the first 3 days are the worst.
Your head will try to kid you on but stay strong.
In my weak moments( only flashes now) I just remind myself that I am now a non smoker and how foolish would I be to go back to the start again.
There will be weanS sitting in a seatS at paradise next season who would not be there but for your efforts ,
Oh and you get the health benefits :))
Well done again I’m Sooooooooooooooooo proud of you.

I had declined to read the Keevins piece until it was reproduced earlier by Prestonpans Bhoy.
I know that everything is in the eye of the beholder but I think in this case Wee Shug is getting a bum rap.
If I had been charged with the task of assessing a megalomaniacal bunch of shysters who are drowning in the gutter while they prepare to rule the world, I would have written it very much the same way as Hughie.
Read it again.
This time, read it as if YOU had written it.
If this is not the most mocking piece ever written by a member of our MSM, then I am that proverbial Dutchman.
He is doing what in less refined forums than CQN would be referred to as ..pulling their plonker…. And he has done it with aplomb.
Take a bow, Hughie.
The surprising thing is that you have not only fooled the Sevconians.
Twists-good luck .
Auldheid,
I’ll probably need to read that a few time to take it all in, and to be honest I don’t think it will help with the resolution, too many/much contention.
I’m concentrating on the license issuance angle from 2008 onwards the wee tax bill matured long before the 2008 uefa club licensing regulations according to that document ther did not qualify and should have had their license application rejected and would have if the SFA had properly audited the application as required by the document.

KK,
Inclined to agree, I thought he exposed quite a lot from the overspending to the bullying, just wasn’t sure if that was his intention.

Yes, Woods had the squeakiest of clean personas. But when he fell from grace he was hunted down relentlessly. If it had been any other big name golfer the baying press pack would have chuckled and that would have been that.
If EBT’s were such a good scheme. Why stop using them? Why not everyone use them?
My Dear Kojo….
We Have Just Had A (New)Documentary On The BBC…..

Fanadpatriot,
Thanks for your reasoned & concise criticism.
Canamalar,
I have little doubt that Wee Shug’s tongue will need to be surgically removed from his cheek.
Looks like elbows canny help himself ( sorry if its been posted before)

Isn’t there a guy with coach company background on the Sevco board? Surely it should not be a problem to get them a second hand coach.
Seems they approached Park’s of Hamilton and asked for a coach for nothing. Park’s refused but offered them a reasonable deal. sevco decided to go elsewhere for a free coach.
I have already told parks I will not by as much as a dust cap from them since Douglas Park got involved in the Blue Sh@@es consortium.
vp,
Only one, an interloper from KDS, just wondering what his problem is but no too much cause I really couldn’t give a monkeys, had written a great big nasty response then thought why turn the air blue ? It’s just some insignificant little boy looking for attention and probably looking to create a bit of agro. I’m must be getting old or no well :o)
