We should commission a study into what happens to football teams immediately after a big game when they need to play a less illustrious opponent. This week Kilmarnock got a better result against Celtic than Barcelona, and unlike the Catalans, Kilmarnock were away from home.
Cast your memory back five years for a better example. Celtic beat Champions League holders, Milan, remarkably the only time the club have recorded a win against reigning champions, and met Gretna the following weekend, at Fir Park, Motherwell. Gretna were promoted that summer but had cutbacks forced on them, as the financial gamble to promote them to the top flight. Still, a James Grady free kick caught Artur Boruc on his heels. It took goals from Chris Killen (remember him?) and Scott McDonald in the final three minutes to save face for Celtic. Gretna failed towards the end of that season and were subsequently liquidated.
Celtic got the better of both Spartak Moscow and Benfica that season.

Do you want a 5 minute argument or the full half hour?
Pumpkin – puree the pulp add it to condensed milk and allspice – bake it in the oven in a pre blind baked base – allow it to cool and then

what I meant by ” true to who ” …who decides
I’d imagine many of be booers considered that they were being very true by reacting as they did
I fear this has the makings of a circular argument ….perhaps booing is in the eye of the beholder

Ah – ice-cream!
My parents had a café – shirley naw I hear you say – from 1962 to 1990.
A cone was sometimes called a pokey-hat and a wafer was often a slider! A nougat was often referred to as a ‘black man’ (!), and a raspberry ice was a ‘McCallum!
HH!!
I don’t remember Black Boabs, but I do remember asking for an ice cream -vaguely similar to an ‘oyster ‘ , with chocolate covered mallow wafer, called a ‘Black Man’.
Less embarrassed remembering Cherry Lips and Victory Vs.
Oh, and chewing liquorice root, or smoking cinnamon sticks !
OK, whit aboot Potato Crisps, no other flavours, with the wee blue bag of salt that twisted at the top. Heaven. :))

PFayr,
The players know they are going to win the league so there is maybe this subconscious going through the motions attitude spreading from management to players.The performances at Celtic Park are depressing,turgid,boring affairs which is a slap in the face to our fans who are paying big cash to watch it.One thing is for certain,if there is not a rapid improvement the attendances are going to plummet rapidly.

Auday!!

But the salt bag is now sealed. The original one was just a bit of blue wax paper twisted at the top. You must remember it. And the crisps were plentiful in the bag.

I remember hearing that the McCallum was so named for Neilly McCallum of Glasgow Celtic fame.
Conrad probably best hotel in Dublin.
Come out front door, turn right, first street on right, about 20 mtres down, wonderful weekend pub.
Also make sure you go through the park opposite. Fantastic history.
Enjoy.
Ghuy goes to the doctors with a peanut stuck in his ear.
Doctor asks home to lie on the couch and pours melted chocolate into the gents ear.
Peanut came out a treat.

The guy sentenced to the gas chamber in America who asked to be allowed to play his fiddle while he was being gassed. He managed to survive all their best efforts to gas him and he said he survived because tunes help you breathe more easily.

I had often heard that it was so named after Neilly McCallum, but never had it confirmed.
He was of course the scorer of the first ever Celtic goal – against a now defunct and discredited club.

You might get a few replies for that mate…..
Did anyone collect the fitba cards wi the stick of bubbly inside the packet, needed Billy Kirkwood of D UTD to complete the set, did a lap of honour round the village when I got him.
Wouldn’t have done that now if I’d known where he’d end up!
