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.

How stupid of me:)
Ggh
Dont stress it… greater minds than you and I have struggled with the sevco hokey cokey
When the damaged shell of the The Rangers bus is salvaged and is recycled into tin cans, plastic bags and various auto parts and a new bus is purchased, the new bus (technically a different make and model) will, in fact, not be a new bus at all. It will be the same bus, will carry the same passengers and will have a dodgy history book showing the new bus as the old bus. Probably wont stop an insurance claim on the “old bus”, mind you…
Heinz have produced a genetically modified bean plant which has had genes from lavender flowers which cause them to produce a scent.
From now on when you eat a tin of beans, they will make you fart like an air freshner.

ok I got the whole Bus burning scoop. It was a disgruntled hunnette.
Apparently the bus was used last week between Shotts and Newmains at some point (dont ask..Orange walk scouting or something) and the disgruntled hunnette got on with her baby. Apparently the jovial hun driver said only jokingly mind you:
“That’s the ugliest baby that I’ve ever seen. Ugh!”
She went to the rear of the bus and sat down, fuming.
She said to an understanding hun next to her:
“The driver just insulted me!”
Understanding hun : “You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I’ll hold your monkey for you.”
The driver of the old bus will be appointed as chairman of the company owning the new bus but will not be smart enough to let it make enough profit to take them where they need to go.

I don’t want to sound like a member of the tin foil hat society but I can’t help but think the headline for the Cardiff/Wanyama story on the BBC Sport website is a little tasteless dig by someone at the Beeb. “Cardiff & Tan’s Wanyama Correction” Maybe I’m too used to tasteless media coverage of all things Celtic but I thought this looked a little like a reference to the Black & Tans. Why the need to mention Cardiff & Tan. Just thought it looked odd.

I suppose posting almost the same thing at exactly the same time at least proves we are not a multiple poster.
Or at least not the same multiple poster.
