    Dundee United boss Tam Courts says Celtic’s 3-0 Scottish Cup win at Tannadice “flattered” Postecoglou’s side. (The Scotsman)

     

     

    Whatever, certainly the game did nothing to flatter Dundee Utd they were poor, not one shot or attempt on target in a cup game at home? Celtic played well, but Tam Courts has more to worry him than whether the score flattered Celtic or not.

     

    Is he a bitter Hun, or just bitter, anyone know?

    Good result for Celtic considering their 4 top scorers were unavailable. Kyogo (16), Abada (14), Jota (10), and Turnbull (9) had 49 of Celtic’s 101 goals before tonight.

    ‘Ps I can also see why he saw a handball and ruled it out.’

    But the question you have to ask is whether he would have made the same decision irrespective of the team involved.

    The answer is, no.

    Is VAR definitely coming to Scotland?

     

     

    If so, could we lobby to share the EPL facility at Heathrow with non Scottish VAR official?

     

     

    If we cant have impartial referees, surely an impartial VAR is a great opportunity to bring more transparency and trust to our game,

    Good shout but the SFA and all other, …ahem vested interests would not be having that, how can they continue to influence games with an impartial referee, the very thought!

  9. big wavy on

    Really depressing to see that good Celtic folk on Twitter (our own BRTH included) mentioning that abomination of an add-on to ‘on the one road’ being belted out by a minority of ‘supporters’ ?

     

     

    Get that shite in the sea. Who are these effers and why ?

    Apologies for using Blog to pass a message,

     

    Just sending the lyrics of original Ballad of Roddy McCorley to a couple of CQNers who have an interest in Ballads

     

     

     

     

    The original lyrics to Roddy McCorley

     

     

     

    Come tender hearted Christians all, attention pay to me,

     

    ‘Till I relate these verses great, these verses two or three.

     

    Concerning of a clever youth who was cut off in his bloom,

     

    And died upon the gallows tree near to the bridge of Toome.

     

     

    The hero now I speak of, he was proper tall and straight,

     

    Like to the lofty poplar tree his body was complete,

     

    His growth was like the tufted fir that does ascend the air,

     

    And waving o’er his shoulders broad the locks of yellow hair.

     

     

    In sweet Duneane this youth was born and reared up tenderly,

     

    His parents educated him, all by their industry,

     

    Both day and night they sorely toiled all for their family,

     

    Till desolation it came on by cursed perjury.

     

     

    ‘Twas first the father’s life they took and secondly the son,

     

    The mother tore her old grey locks, she says “I am undone

     

    They took from me my property, my houses and my land,

     

    And in the parish where I was born I dare not tread upon.”

     

     

    “Farewell unto you sweet Drumaul, if in you I had stayed,

     

    Among the Presbyterians I ne’er had been betrayed,

     

    The gallows tree I’d ne’er have seen had I remained there

     

    For Dufferin you betrayed me, McErlean you set the snare.”

     

     

    “In Ballyscullion I was betrayed, woe be unto the man,

     

    Who swore me a defender and a foe unto the crown,

     

    Which causes Rody for to lie beneath the spreading thorn,

     

    He’ll sigh and say ‘Alas the day that ever I was born’.”

     

     

    Soon young Rody was conveyed to Ballymena town,

     

    He was loaded there with irons strong, his bed was the cold ground,

     

    And there young Rody he must wait until the hour has come,

     

    When a court-martial does arrive for to contrive his doom.

     

     

    They called upon an armed band, an armed band came soon,

     

    To guard the clever tall young youth down to the Bridge of Toome,

     

    And when young Rody he came up the scaffold to ascend,

     

    He looked at east and looked at west to view his loving friends.

     

     

    And turning round unto the north he cried “O faithless friend,

     

    ‘Twas you who proved my overthrow and brought me to this end.

     

    Since ’tis upon Good Friday that I’ll executed be,

     

    Convenient to the Bridge of Toome upon a Gallows Tree.

     

     

    They called on Father Devlin, his reverence came with speed

     

    “Here’s is one of Christ’s own flock, he said, ‘ye shepherds for to feed”

     

    He gave to him the Heavenly Food that nourishes the soul

     

    That it may rest eternally while his body is in the mould’

     

     

    And looking up unto the Lord he says, ‘O Lord receive

     

    Here is my soul, I do bestow my body unto the grave

     

    That it may rest in peace and joy without the least surprise,

     

    Till Michael sounds his trumpet loud, and says, “Ye dead rise”

    ‘Who are these effers and why ?’

     

     

     

    ###

     

     

    Who are they?

     

    They are Celtic supporters who attend away games

     

     

    Why?

     

    Because they enjoy winding up those who get wound up by them singing it.

  12. ernie lynch on

    Well the only thing people are moaning about after last night’s game is the songbook, so that’s a plus.

  13. RobertTressell on

    Mcphail- I don’t think Tam Courts is bitter. I thought he was talking up his teams efforts and I’d expect no less of any manager of any team. Bigging up his own guys to keep their confidence up.

     

    World of difference between him and that wee nyaff at livingston.

  14. big wavy on

    Ernie….

     

     

    That’s a moan I’ll quite happily continue to air as a counter to the wind-up merchants who want to act like huns.

     

     

    Identify them, ban them and let them all stand around in a field of their own choice chanting away in future.

    Are you assuming that the reason ‘there will be no Protestants at all’ is because they will all have been put to the sword?

  18. Jinkyredstar on

    Morning all – enjoyed last night, a real cup tie, the bhoys showed that they can roll their sleeves up and get a result as well as deploying finer skills – special shout fir CalMac and big G the Greek Poacher supreme.

    Your luck with away briefs this season interests me. Am I wrong to think you put on the blog, this season was your first travelling for a period of time?

     

    If you’re minded to share, how many briefs did your bus receive after the original distribution and what impact did Utd’s restriction of the Shed seats have on your bus?

     

    I got home from Dundee after midnight. Had a light snack as I watched Sportscene, then had a final quick CQN check before retiring to bed, and saw this. I decided to leave it till this morning.

     

     

    So not only do you expect me to explain to you how I manage to suddenly have some success in acquiring away tickets, you also want me to give you a rundown of how my sopporters club was affected by away fan reductions.

     

     

    In previous posts, I said I was making my first trip to specifically Dens Park and Tannadice for decades. I returned from a long spell overseas in 2014 and bought a season ticket. I stuck to home games only until 2017 when I joined the CSC. I was on occasion offered away tickets and enjoyed Celtic games at Motherwell, Kilmarnock, Livingston, Hibs, Partick, St Mirren, St Johnstone and of course, Hampden and Murrayfield.

     

     

    I remember being offered a ticket for Dens Park a few years back – 1-0 last minute win – but had a wedding to attend. I was never offered a Tannadice ticket for whatever reason. Eventually, with my regular uptake of away tickets when offered, my name climbed the ladder and now I get offered tickets for most away games with the exception of Pittodrie, Tynecastle and Ibrox. I still haven’t been to any of those venues since last century.

     

     

    So when I posted earlier in the season of my delight at having the opportunity to visit Dens Park then Tannadice after so many years, there was nothing sinister about my being offered tickets.

     

     

    So there it is. Simple as that. Sorry to disappoint.

     

     

    As for my CSC, I have no idea how many tickets the bus got and I wasn’t inclined to ask as it did not concern me.

     

     

    Have a good day.

  20. big wavy on

    Ernie,

     

     

    No ambiguity with me. I grew up in the North. I know exactly what the lyrics mean.

     

     

    I suspect you’re heading towards the old hun defence similar to the “nazi salute being a red hand of ulster” wave.

    When a well disposed and fair-minded journalist like Jim Spence speaks out against sectarian singing from sections of our support, we have to take note.

    THE EXILED TIM on 15TH MARCH 2022 11:01 AM

     

    Maybes if they changed Protestants to Orangemen……..Problem solved.

     

    ————–

     

    Not really. The Orange Order was set up to defend the Protestant faith (although the Ascendency was Anglican and the OO are Presbyterian, who fought and died to stop the Monarch heading the church – confusing stuff)

     

     

    The One Rad was adopted as a marching song by the Irish Army (not sure if during Free State or Ireland set up) so why can’t they sing the actual words?

    Well the only thing people are moaning about after last night’s game is the songbook, so that’s a plus.

     

    ————

     

     

    Not so fast Ernie!

     

     

    My bugbear is a suspicion of sneakin cheatin by refs as they count out the 10-yard rule from free kicks awarded to us… 10 yards has often been calculated as 12 paces.

     

     

    But last nite, Slippy John Bea paced out just ten shorties, then turned back away from that line, to paint the line closer to our free kick taker. Point is, this brings the wall obstruction closer to the kick taker, limiting their ability to get the ball high enough quick enough to try for goal – I’m concerned it’s another devious trick of the craft/trade to put a bar in our way.

     

     

    Obv based in Oz I can’t get to games to count for masel’, but I’d sure value if embdy else could keep an eye open for this as I rarely see 10 steps – far less 12 – measured out for our kicks. Not sure if their goose-steps are more generous for THEMS.

     

     

    Anyways, happy with the win but still find room furra gripe if not a full-blown moan. HH

    CONEYBHOY

     

    We all know that they won’t, I would wager that if the huns didn’t sing anything contentious, racist or sectarian our support wouldn’t either, and for sure they ain’t gonna stop, catch 22.

     

    Change it to dobbers then >:)

    ###

     

     

     

    I think Jim Spence is what the young people describe as a ‘centrist dad’.

     

     

    So yeah, he’ll have something to say about it.

     

     

    It’s a bit of defiance by a section of the travelling support. Nothing more. No pogroms are being contemplated.

     

     

    And spare me the false equivalence with the huns. To reduce it to its simplest, one side (historically?) is the oppressor the other the oppressed. Applying similar standards to both is an indication of ignorance, wilful or otherwise, of that basic fact.

  29. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    I’ve been critical of the away game song book in the past …

     

     

    .. but I think praise and credit are due to the fans for last night?

     

     

    They were terrific.

     

     

    I heard a few sillies but they were few and far between?

     

     

    One chant was started early in first half that sounded like it was quickly “countered” with a Celtic song.

     

     

    And, if I heard right (?) “We’re on the one road” was sung to its official lyrics with reference to four Irish cities?

  30. Tom McLaughlin on

    CONEYBHOY

     

     

    Spot on.

     

     

    In the late 1990s I worked in a bar on Broadway in New York. On the eve of St Patrick’s Day the bar was very busy with Irish and Scots celebrating with lots of drink and song. It just so happened that Gerry Adams and Martin McGuiness were present.

     

     

    When the song “We’re on the One Road” filled the air, the Scots sang the ‘Soon there’ll be no protestants at all” line. I know it was the Scots because the Irish bhoys and ghirls sang the proper words.

     

     

    At the end of the song, Adams spoke to the Scots and told them it wasn’t acceptable. He was not lecturing. He calmly asked them to think about what they’re singing.
