Fifa, Keane, Davie Hay

755

And, they, gave us………. Davie Hay.  Enormous thanks to Davie Hay for coming onto the blog this morning.  It was great to read his responses on playing for and managing Celtic.  If you missed him, catch up from 09:44 here, you’ll enjoy it.

At the risk of commenting on Roy Keane when few of us know much about what happened last night….  I remain pleased we didn’t appoint him manager in the summer.  Very pleased.

Really disappointed at the outcome of the Fifa investigation into the awarding of the Fifa World Cups for 2018 1nd 2022, although, as I type that sentence, the reasons perhaps become clear.  As with all of these things, I’m specifically thinking about the Lord Nimmo Smith SPL inquiry here, football governing bodies ask the questions they want answered.  It’s not the independence of the investigator which is important, it’s who sets the scope of investigation.

You can get copies of Caesar & the Assassin, Billy McNeill and Davie Hay’s accounts of managing Celtic from Jock Stein’s departure until the appointment of Liam Brady, here.

    Jessica Ennis-Hill wants her name to be removed from a stand named after her by Sheffield United if the club offers convicted rapist Ched Evans a contract.

    since my early childhood I’ve always regarded the term ‘grannied’ to be used in any sport where on of the players or teams is in danger of losing without scoring a point / winning a game / potting a ball etc.

     

     

    Most commonly used when playing pool where if you’ve potted say 4 balls without reply someone is sure to say “Oooh, the granny’s on…” in a “let’s put the pressure on” type of voice.

     

     

    I think.

    Help required

     

     

    if any of you happen to know jammabhoy could you please tell him to get his last man standing pick in as it’s the only one we’re waiting on.

     

     

    Once that one’s known I hope to announce who the 20 remaining standing men have picked for International weekend. This will then allow everyone else to cheer those picks or perhaps the teams that they are playing against ;-)

     

     

    But all now depends on getting this final pick in.

    Goldstar, that line up would have done the business for us.

     

     

    I’ve just finally got round to watching Match of the Day 2. In the crowd, during the replay of Swansea’s equaliser, there is guy waving a hoops number 18 top, to the left of the goal.

    James,

     

     

    The man, repulsive as his crime was, served his sentence. He is entitled to progress with his career.

  15. jamesgang.

     

     

    If your working in Stirling I’ll be in Stirling around twelve and usually have a couple in Morrisons.I think its on the Main St?. if your free we could meet up,I was hoping to talk to you about something,ask hutchybhoy if he could get to Morrisons,I was wanting to ask him something,I haven’t any tele numbers for you.

  16. mike in toronto on

    I get the context, but still am mystified as to the etymology of the term ….

     

     

    is it visual …. ‘bageled’ as a term for being shut out, because a bagel is shaped like a zero … or oral … ‘love’ in tennis derives from ‘l’ouef’ the french term for egg because a zero is sort of egg shaped, and ‘love’ is an anglicized version of ‘l’ouef’ …

     

     

    but I’m still a bit perplexed and afraid as to why you guys say grannied! :)

  17. Captain Beefheart on

    I shan’t be following the SFA 11 tomorrow. Hopefully Ireland will win just to annoy Gordon McQueen.

    Cheers mhate. Fingers crossed.

     

     

    captain beefheart

     

     

    Disagree.

     

    Convicted rapists can’t carry on in every profession as though nothing happened. For me, professional football falls into that category.

     

     

    Multi millionaires, idols for kids.

     

     

    No thanks.

  19. UNION OF FANS SEEK CLARITY OVER ASHLEY DEAL

     

     

    Boards answer,The agreement consolidates existing marketing arrangements between the parties and results in a more normalised retail joint venture marketing arrangement in which Sports Direct will continue to have certain advertising rights.

     

     

    Eh !!!!!!.

  20. Pedro,

     

     

    If your lurking…

     

     

    I’ve not seen your bro ACGR on since the finale of “Boardwalk Empire” hope he’s okay after the shooting scene when Nucky got taken out…:)

  21. Never mind Andy I think you had nothing left after expending so much energy on qualifying.

     

     

    Loved catching up with the quiet assassin’s comments earlier. What a man, what a contribution and what a player. Thanks to all who made this excellent insight happen on CQN.

    I’ll text Hutchybhoy tho he might be working.

     

     

    I’ll be giving a presentation over lunch tho I’d far rather be having a beer! Hopefully might catch you at the BV.

    From the Glasgow vernacular,

     

     

    “Aw naw,ahve pure granulated ye”

     

    Shortened to “Grannied”

     

    I think !!!!!

  24. mike in toronto

     

     

    Grannied ?.

     

     

    I used to watch cricket in London with a guy from Monserrat .He called a duck ( as in out for a duck ) a granny.I asked him why and he said granny was patois for a big fat zero.

    Your response to my insomniac post the other night…

     

     

    Phew!… quite where the marxists came into it, I dunno… I think your bullet hit the guy behind me.

     

     

    I’m no certain enough of anything to be any “ist”… the more I read, the more confused I get

     

     

    Hope the celts win the morra… heheh

  26. Captain Beefheart on

    James,

     

     

    I have sympathy with aspects of your argument but prison is the punishment, as well as guilt.

     

     

    Anyway, back to football.

  27. garygillespieshamstring on

    Jobo et al

     

     

    However if you hear Wayne Rooney saying “the granny is on” you can be sure he isn’t referring to pool!
