We have a curious end of season coming up. Out of the Scottish Cup and a matter of weeks away from securing the league, the last six weeks of the season will hold no competitive challenge for Celtic. Neil Lennon has suggested he will, as last season, rest players with next season’s Champions League qualifiers in mind.
The end of last season, however, was complicated by the Scottish Cup Final, so players were spared in small numbers, for short periods. There is no reason why we cannot give players the equivalent of their summer break the day after the title is secured, on the basis that they return earlier than normal, to build competitiveness before we experience our annual fright against a team we need to look up in order to spell.
Send them away as soon as possible, do a Kenny and play the promising youth players, and get the first team back very early.
Congratulations to Patrick Kerr, who was at table 16 at CQteN, and who has won a Champagne lunch for two at The Honours restaurant, Edinburgh. The Honours is owned by Michelin Star chef, Martin Wishart. It will be a great experience, Patrick. We’ll be in touch by email.

““Look at that old bloke there in the full kit. He looks like a Subutteo man”. Turned out it was my dad and we hugged and shed a tear. We were altogether as most of the guys from our CSC had met him and heading to a European final. Our CSC was 5 years old. We had our flag and we were ready to watch our team lift the cup.”

BRTH:
I’m saddened to read of your loss, life doesn’t get much sorer, my sincere condolences to you and yours and to all those that your dad held dear.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace….
67Heaven … I am Neil Lennon, supporting WEE OSCAR..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors
Good morning. You could say that?.
Have to agree with What the hell do we care. McCoist is a sideshow. He hasn’t the brain. The real culprits are the likes of Murray, Ogilvie and Green who have used the “cheeky chappie” and his rapport with the follow followers.
BRTH
Condolences ,Jim
Your auld man took the opportunity to live life to the full, I’m certain I’d have enjoyed his company
You make sure you carry the torch that holds the family flame equally as well….you’re doing a decent job thus far

Feeling better old pal ?
McCoist
Odious , insidious cretin …
To question his role at TBs funeral is cras and verges on Hun behaviour…..we should be above that
what the hell do we care @ 04.18 hrs.
“People write lots of contentious stuff online: but am I the only one that doesn’t feel comfortable about posts that question McCoist’s role in Tommy Burns’s funeral?”
——————————————————–
No you are not the only one who feels uncomfortable with James Forrest’s earlier post.
Far from it.
Ridiculous assumptions without a shred of fact.
Super Salary has many flaws and faults and yes he is not the ” Cheeky Chappie” that many make him out to be, but this slur. Hmmmmmmmmm.
IMO, very hunnish, unwarranted, malicious and inappropriate insult to all good minded people that attempt to bridge the divide that still remains and more specifically an insult to the character and integrity of Ally McCoist ( In this matter ), all the poll bearers and to the family of the late, great TB.
You should post more often.
HH, Always in Celtic.
Macjay,
I don’t believe I questioned his role in Tommy’s funeral. Far from it. I’m not qualified to speculate on his relationship with Tommy or his family, prior to his sad, and far too early death, and wouldn’t presume to know the man personally, but his public profile does nothing to endear me to him.
My opinion, based of what i see of him. Not an opinion on the grace and standing of the Burns family in any way.
Apologies if that wasn’t clear.
PFAyr.
I’m trying to make a decision on whether to pack it in, ( football wise) or try another season, I was ill again all day yesterday,I’m knackered.
oldtim67,
A slight change in lifestyle might be no bad thing but I hope to still see you at Celtic Park next season.You are a vital part of the CQN family. In the end, though, you will know what is best for you. I certainly wish you all the very best.

Has anything been arranged for the Aberdour Golf Day this year?

Perhaps I was the one who didn`t make himself clear.
Sorry about the misunderstanding.
We are in complete agreement about McCoist.

Hail Hail
Oldtim,
Sorry to read you are not feeling 100% ; I would not confess to know you terribly well however having shared your company in the BV and BB it is quite apparent you have quite a magnetic personality and you also struck me as being incredibly kind.You are also a great Celtic man , credentials that would remain intact even if you decided to take a break. Look after yourself and I hope your situation improves

May God’s light shine on the McGinley family and may your Dad RIP. God Bless
The point for me about Sally’s role at TB’s funeral isn’t so much what he did or why, but the reaction from the hun hoards.
They see McCoist as some sort of living saint because he took part in the funeral of someone with different religious beliefs. Now that says so much about their supremacist and exclusivist mindset.
For most of us, going to the funeral of someone we had worked with is a normal and natural thing to do. Something we would do without question as a mark of respect for a former colleague. And I would suggest that the vast majority of us wouldn’t even think to worry about whether that person’s religious beliefs were the same as our own or not.

Sad news yesterday. If you’ll permit me please to extend sympathy and condolences to BRTH, a fellow Celtic fan unknown to me.
BRTH
Be assured by those who’ve preceded you on this sorrowful road, your dad’s memory will warm your family’s hearts every day
“A Short Story.”
Sleekit is not a very nice person.
The End
Personally I see no fault in James Forrest’s piece on McCoist. He rightly made reference to TB’s funeral and made the point that this act/honour (which McCoist could not refuse) does not automatically make him a good guy. To not mention the funeral would have prompted even bigger criticism.
The man in question comes out worse than anyone in the great Sevco debacle. He has been given the easiest ride by the msm , of any manager in my time watching football, and its brought out the worst in him.
Gordon J
You are correct
JJ
A great short story

Sad times for you, my condolences

Given that Australia images were reported > 7 hours ago
Can they not point one of those spy satellites that can read car number plates from space
in the area and clarify in 5 minutes. ???
Maybe they have …….thats why USA navy aircraft will be first there.
kikinthenakas,
how was London? You recovered yet?
You missed a right good do last Fri night. Was at the table with Doc and your pal. Off it for Lent? Dont know how he did it! Strangely enough i didnt get much chance to talk to him, mainly due to taking about half an hour to get back to table every time I went to the toilet due to bumping into someone I hadnt spoken to yet!
Was hoping to catch you for a beer at Kano Do, but its my sis-in-laws 40th that day so i cant make it. maybe catch you in the Suave Tav in the next few weeks though.
HAIL! HAIL!

sorry to hear about your dad , sounded a fantastic character and a good man
I sure he passed away in the knowledge that the Mcginley traditions would carry on in your hands , and a damn fine job so far.
Oldtim
I hope its just a good rest you need and a wee break might be the remedy you need , take care ;))
Tea time here in australia… Just about to head out to funny bhoy kevin bridges.
Hopefully a good night in store from one of our own.
Great video of him in glasgow boozer singing town i love so well.. Magic
Gordon j.
Yup. Jf’s piece has been misconstrued by some imo.
Marrakesh,
He is given an easy a time of it as many many managers before him……..except 1.
Marakesh…
Read it differently from you.
If TB & family thought enough of AMcC to ask him then they had respect for him.
You may not share that respect but as far as that family, very personal matter is concerned, there is no alternative reference validly expressed. Poor show if someone decides otherwise.
Just my opinion.

Difference between those Johnny come latelys and me is, I’m there every week,I wonder what there agenda is this time? Maybe they know where the missing plain is? Spannars.
Oh dear, time to go.
Only offering an angle, not looking for a fight ok.
Sleekit & the myth were holding TB’s coffin in an
attempt to smoke-screen the shame of the Manchester
riots the week before.
Morning,all.
Just a quick one before I head off for the shift from hell-it will keep me off the blog so trebles all round!
If FF or RM,etc,were discussing Tommy Burns’ funeral and it’s arrangements,we would be up in arms.
That sentence looks a bit self-righteous,sorry for that. But it is true nevertheless.

Desecrating the meaning of rest in peace and a moronic statement about a global disaster,time for censorship.
