Getting ready for our summer panic

615

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.

Seville – The Celtic Movement, is moving…

““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.”

    Accidentally put my phone on Flight Mode

     

    Can’t find the Fecker anywhere

  2. I have a friend who specialises in corporate law though I haven’t been in touch for a while. Some on here might know him as he is a regular in the lounges. He was based in Edinburgh but believe he’s moved back to Glasgow.

     

     

    Could make contact if this is what you’re looking for?

    Sincere condolences to BRTH on the loss of his father. Thoughts and prayers with all the McGinley family.

     

    A portion of my Seville story is on the article above from paul67 and I was delighted to share the Seville experience with my dad. That reaction was genuine. I was actually amused at this wee guy with the full Celtic kit on. I don’t think I had ever seen my father in a full Celtic kit before or since that moment. I don’t remember him even owning a jersey before MON became boss. It’s moments like that you cherish with your loved ones. The ones that make you laugh in life make you cry when they are gone.

     

    It sounds like BRTH’s father was a great man. I think most of us hold our own fathers in the same esteem.

     

    May he rest in peace.

     

     

    God bless

  13. Both the William Hill site and the BBC Sport`s site have Motherwell at Home tonight but Reporting Scotland had the game at ICT ( and Russell lapatay (sp) suggested likewise). Where is the game being played?

    Agree

     

     

    What you don’t know is that for me it’s weird to see so many tributes to a Mr J McGinley, I have a very close friend in Derry with the same surname.

     

     

    BRTH’s dad was well kent on here through BRTH’s excellent recollections.
