I think I live in a different world than some people. In my world the manager of Celtic has endured an incredibly stressful month. Yesterday he would have dealt with news from a serious criminal trial after a bomb was sent to him.
Today he is being taunted in a newspaper by a former referee who suggests he “explodes at the side of a park”. Even for a former SFA official, this is astonishingly poor taste. The article goes on to betray enormous hostility towards Neil Lennon and, for reasons which appear opportunistic, Peter Lawwell.
Our manager will get through these difficult weeks and will hopefully never have to endure such stresses again. SFA officials, current or past, cannot meaningfully lay a glove on him. He can pay their fines and will continue to manage a winning Celtic team.

Mr X loves having a “fly kick” on 30 March, 2012 at 20:46 said:
Was at a meeting at work today and present was a rare beast indeed – a St Johnstone fan who was there in 1998 when we beat them 2-0 to stop the 10.
He said it was, and still remains, the most incredible atmosphere he has ever experienced at a game of football.
I used to have a vhs tape of the whole afternoon filmed by the BBC.
The cameras started taping around 40mins before KO, kept filming through HT and filmed for around 1hr after fulltime.
It caught the celebrations better than was shown on the tv.
I don’t know what i have done with it, it would be a good one to convert to dvd.
Will need to try and look for it sometime.
Oh well that’s what I get for trying to be a smart erse :-)
Jobo, help!
hamiltontim –
oh well, see you’re organised for tomorrow though!

That has to the most intense game I have been at,not
ashamed to say ,after Harald’s Goal grabbed my mate
and cried for five minutes…..or until the pubs opened.
====================================
voguepunter, I too cried at the game. I had a camera with me that day and there’s a picture of me with a mate standing in the North Stand hugging, tears in eyes before we headed onto the pitch where everybody else seemed to be!!!
I STILL get emotional telling my Celtic-daft daughter about that great day.
Cheers for the explanations gents – I’d just noticed the CH4 audio and written – both said “from the turn of the century” near the beginning of each report.
Really want something new and juicy to happen soon.
Celtic winning the league will do for a kick off!
Gotta go…Mrs MacLean wanting oot!
Later…
Some of the older bhoys will remember not the view and the article each issue”they embarrassed the hoops”?
The likes of burley ,Nicholas and walker so called Celtic men aye right.
No amount of money would make me comment the way they do on the club I love and the fans that are my family.

Mr X:
Most atmospheric for me: 2-2 came wae Hearts in centenary year. That McStay goal and McPherson gettin hit wae a firework. Great comeback. Game seemed to have everything. Pure footballing drama.
The Dundee game at Paradise when we clinched the league later that year. Sunshine. Fantastic atmosphere. In the Dundee end. Must have been 80000 at that game.
What a season. I’m gonni write a book aboot it sometime.
Thats what makes Walkers turncoat performance all the more galling.

Aye; Lenny has certainly not had his troubles to seek recently. Howevah, he is not walking alone and he will prevail over the orc hordes, as will shortly be revealed.
God bless Stan and his family in their time of trial and grant him a cure from this bad illness.

I still say that I felt the North Stand Upper flex with all the dancing tims singing “Cheerio to 10 in a row”. Fecking scary for all of a nanosecond then it was party time and to hell with the consequences. That was some day all right.
Dismayed at the news about Stan…….

Crowd listed as 56k IIRC. Crowd spilling onto the pitch, but the stadium, for all intents and purposes was identical in size to the early 80s, i.e. 68,000.
Always found it weird how a very decent striker like Brattback never made it at Paradise- but then he is written into the history of the club for evermore.

Remember Playing Dundee in the dead of winter next season(couldhave been summer) and the ‘cheerio to ten in a row ‘must have went for an hour solid,fekn knackered after it.
wonkyradar, I was also at the centenary game versus Dundee. An incredible crowd in the ground that day. There was people actually sitting round the track there was no room in the terracing.
Happy daze.

Yes! I also went on to the pitch, just because I didn’t really know what else to do. I got there and just stood there, overwhelmed. I don’t think I cried, I just felt stunned, I think they were playing Lou Reed’s perfect day.

Can we agree that when we ever meet that it’s only one pint I owe you for all the help as opposed to a drink for each time? :-))

At a guess I would say “Mostly Huns”.
Just noticed …where’s the quiz?
Fair lookin forward to that ,so a wiz.

Should be pretty big – it’s likely to be the last ever ‘European’ match at Poundland.

Evening bhoys, hun free on this mountain as ever.
Had a wonderfull time today with the grandweans, and come home to see that Stan has a serious problem, puts things into perspective.
Can I ask what he has ? Hodgkinsons or Non Hodgkinsons, I hope and pray it;s the former.
Just when a good bit of news comes out, something like that kicks us in the bolixs.

As I said never doubted you mi amigo, fair play to AT, he has ventured where others fear to tread, I also hope and pray more will out, he has got it out there.

I trust C4 are just getting started, more to follow next week.
Martin Bain and John McLelland both sat on the SPL board as directors.
Both knew that rangers players were being paid a second wage under the EBT. They knew the club was in breach of SPL rules and the players were not properly registered, yet they chose not to disclose this information to the othe SPL board members.

If this from wikpedia is accurate Campbell Ogilvie was holding down positions at the SFA during the highest usage of ebts.
In June 2003, Ogilvie became the treasurer, now second vice-president, of the Scottish Football Association (SFA).[2] On 1 June 2007, Ogilvie became first vice-president of the SFA, with Alan McRae taking his place as second vice-president.[3] On 8 June 2011 it was confirmed that Ogilvie would take up the presidency of the Scottish Football Association following the retirement of George Peat.
