When I think back over the year, I dont think I’ll forget Lisbon, especially Jacklyn chasing the taxi to recover the napsack left behind…………she was so fast that she caught the cab 100 yards in front of the one that the bag inside.
God bless and HH
After much deliberation, LG has to lead the line against the zombie club on Saturday.
Moussa head might be turned by all this transfer speculation,being the main raison d’etre for his omission from the starting eleven.
LG work rate second to none, he is going to terrorise the shambolic zombie defenders.
Clinical finisher,set piece play phenomenal and 100% commitment.
He also hates the walking dead.
It really is a no brainer.
LG is the main man.

Hot off the press, Moussa Dembele in shock move to Sevco FC. Dembele is set to become Sevco Manager Derek McInnes’ first signing
oh, wait a minute…..
Morning from a wind chilled -22° Toronto where my heart has a lovely wee glow as II think of all the poor Sevconians – who brought it all upon themselves.

HOW FECKING CAULD?!!!!!
Has MIKEINTORONTO done his Christmas suicide attempt in the lake yet? Mad bassa,who wants three Adam’s Apples at this,or any other,time of the year?
Thanks,mate,for 23-28 Mai 2017 as we paid homage to some anniversaries. You must have the patience of a Saint putting up wi my Dad and me,and our paths will cross again for sure.
Even if only to give us the chance to apologise to you!!!
HH and all the best to you and yours.
Song for Edouarde when the time comes has to be the Joy Division classic…..

About ye,my man? Had a great time in Belfast last month,bud.
Really sorry you couldn’t make an appearance,perfectly understandable,and I hope everything is coming together again now.
Next year,one way or the other,Glasgow or Belfast,we’ll have a beer or ten.
Btw,my mate had a right old film on the other day. About the IRA in Belfast in late forties.
I dragged myself out my cot to see James Mason collapsing into a strangely familiar-looking booth in a pub.
Aye,The Crown in Great Victoria Street,across from The Europa! We snared one of them-nearest the toilets!-on the Saturday night,much to everyone’s consternation. Didnae realise the history of the place till the tour guide mentioned it on our bus trip the next day!
Smashing weekend,mate. Even looking out my hotel window onto Sandy Row couldnae spoil it. And the breakfasts just round the corner,coulda choked an elephant.
16 roads.
I was convinced that Moussa would start against Sevco but your post makes a lot of sense.
I remain convinced the Moussa is the better player but it may well be that the combination of possible transfer and injury worry would equal a less than fully committed player .
Brendan will know, though, so if he selects Moussa, Moussa will be 100% ready.

Butting in -.
Some fluff from my bonce —
Not the actual -Crown _but a replica constructed in a studio in Buckinghamshire .
Some of the film was shot in Belfast but much of it was shot in Hackney .
I remember a long ago Radio 4 thing with Roman Polanski — he stated that Odd Man Out was his favourite film.
When we did the Bike Ride to Belfast for Wee Oscar, we visited The Crown. I considered it a great pub.

Bobby M – Sorry I missed you on your recent visit to Beal Feirste. Didn’t even realise you were here chief. You should have give me a call and I would have definitely went for a few pints.
We’ll have to get a beer soon.
————————————————-
HOT SMOKED – Agree with you there.
It most probably won’t matter which of them starts, the result is going to be the same, regardless.
I’m thinking if Brendan will instruct the players to go for the jugular right away, or torment them gradually before going in for the kill,like the cat playing with a mouse?

Merry Christmas,ya grinch-why let the truth get in the way of a happy recollection?
Boo,hiss,he’s behind you!!!
Amazing recall,old bean. To be honest,I googled it when I saw it to make sure I was right-sent the article to my sisters who were with me for that weekend-and it said exactly that. Including the Polanski reference!
Still,brought back a fond memory of a great weekend. And whoever built the set did a darn fine job!!
I hope you,the oul’ codger Inter fan,and TGLFP had a great Christmas,and I hope Celtic can give us all a Happy New Year.

So we have John James always going on about protecting his sources and then writes a piece about who @Pmacgiollabhain source is ? This guy is well worth the watching.
To think Celtic fans donate to this loony tune.

It sure is,mate. Toilets were a mess,but apparently Grade 1 listing is the cause of it. I certainly didnae let that spoil my enjoyment of the place.
Or anywhere else,for that matter. We hit a few.
Including,believe it or not,a bloody cafe for scones! Well,I had to let my sisters win on occasion…
Avoca,if I recall. Saying no more,my rep is officially shot(!)
More fluff re -The Crown ( from a long ago Beeb documentary )

Read it this morning,bud. Thought the same as you,disgraceful.
He dangled the olive branch to Phil for a coupla days-then pulled the trapdoor.
No proof offered,oh no. Not needed,hung out to dry.

TGLFP has graced The Crown .
Old codger Inter fan has spent this season in full Cassandra mode re Spalletti being a verbose up his own ass clown who would eventually be found out . Recent results have seen him in full on -I told you so mode .. I will have the pleasure of his company for tonight’s TIM Cup MIlan Derby . God help the verbose up his own ass clown if Inter manage to lose to a team ” managed ” by ” an inarticulate grunter who should be in his village selling frozen fish ”
TGLFP has announced that she is going out to see the new Star Wars — ” make sure he takes his boots off -“
WHEN John Keane, the Honorary Chairman of Celtic Football and Athletic Club, unfurls the League Championship flag at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon, he deserves an ovation to match the contribution he has made to the history, success and – above all – continuity of Celtic Football Club.
Back in the dark days of 1994, John was at home in Edinburgh one evening when he received a call from Kevin Kelly, then the Celtic chairman. The news was dire. The Bank of Scotland was about to foreclose on Celtic.
The wages would not be paid. Administration was staring them in the face.
Kevin Kelly had a straightforward question for John Keane: could he help the club out of this dire predicament? John, who had forged a successful business career over the previous 40 years and was already a Celtic shareholder, did not have to think twice.
Looking back, he says: “Administration was unthinkable. It would have been a slur upon the name of the Club.”
An immediate £1million was needed to save Celtic from this ignominy and to keep trading. John Keane immediately phoned his own bank manager, John Brosnan of the Bank of Ireland, who was about to head off to Dublin with clients for a rugby international.
Instead, he was on the doorstep of the Bank of Scotland in Glasgow when it opened for business the next morning, to pledge John Keane’s £1million. The wages were paid. Administration was averted. The rest is history.
John Keane went on to back Fergus McCann’s takeover with further crucial investment. Now, both as supporter and investor, he enthusiastically endorses the stability and commitment that Dermot Desmond has brought to the club, making it the force it is today while reinforcing the historic Irish bond – all a far cry from the circumstances of two decades ago.
John is a native of Doohoma on the Mayo coast. His mother was from Crown Street in the Gorbals and his father met her when he came to Scotland as an agricultural worker.
They settled back in Mayo to raise the family but his mother’s love of Celtic and the Scottish newspapers that were posted over to her ensured that John was familiar with the club and its traditions from an early age.
At the age of 17, he moved to Scotland himself, first of all carrying out agricultural contracts and then building a successful business as a contractor laying cables and pipes for major utility companies.
From his first days in Scotland, he became a regular at Celtic Park, developing a deep affinity with the club.
John is the most modest of men. Throughout the dramas of the 1990s, he delivered exactly what was asked of him and what he promised but never sought the limelight. He was capable of seeing the light and shade of the saga rather than becoming a partisan. And when the chips were down, he saved Celtic for us all.
It is a story which not enough people knew and last year, the Celtic board decided that recognition was long overdue.
John accepted an invitation to become Honorary Chairman of the historic Celtic Football & Athletic Club board which handles relations with supporters and of which he is a long-standing member. He also agreed to take part in Saturday’s ceremony.
He looks forward to the event with a little trepidation: “I love the club. I have supported it and nothing will change me from that. This is a great honour. I hope I don’t trip and that they don’t boo me too much!”
There should be no danger of that – for all Celtic supporters owe John Keane a debt of gratitude.

I posted to you last night, I would ask you please consider changing your moniker. I deleted a couple of your posts in which you referred to another atrocity. It may not be evident to some but your choice of moniker is in poor taste.

You were clearly a bad man in a previous life,having to suffer that harridan from hell. Or alternatively,and more likely,the luckiest man alive to have a babe who keeps you on your toes!
Either way,your tales about her make me smile every time. I just hope the toilets in The Crown were a bit better when she visited!!!
