    I agree that the enormity of the cup semi final v hearts was a lot for our young keeper.

     

     

    With that in mind, do you think playing him at Ibrox is wise or even fair?

  4. bankiebhoy1 on

    just loggin’ back in quickly an’ easily to say………any ideas for a half hundred-weight ‘ Turkey bits….an’ a pun o’ tarmac-like “gravy”

     

     

    ………….askin furr freen!

    My opinion obviously, but regards the keeper issue, just what chance does any keeper have with our recent defence in front of him.

     

    Nir Biton gets some flak on here but I thought our defence looked pretty good on Saturday last.

     

    Duffy is not the answer, no matter what, far too hesitant and slow thinking for me. Jury still out with Julien but I like big Ajer at right back.

     

    Gotta say, I feel a lot more confident now than I did a few weeks back, looking miles better.

    All the worry for Hazard against the hun, is not an issue. We will pulverise Mc Shagger, they should be doing the worrying

    Fairhill Bhoy.

     

    Hi buddy, I hope you and your loved ones had as nice a Christmas as possible, under the circumstances.

     

    My health, a bit up and down but it’s always the same, as a change in temperature is a trigger.

     

    Thank you, very much for asking.

     

    Thanks for letting me know about the other site, I’ve not been looking in, at all.

     

    There are many decent folks on there.

    Conor Hazard will be fine, it’s what he trains and gets paid for.

     

     

    It’s funny, I am quite confident that we will not lose the game.

     

    Although I have not given up on the ten, I feel we should now be building for the future. A young vibrant team full of hungry players that want to play for Celtic.

     

     

    Football opportunities will open in 2021.

     

     

    If we win the ten it will now be a wonderful bonus.

    You were right. The nutmeg article was superb. When I reached the section where McLean was hopping on one leg doing the team talk while Narey hid tears of joy, I burst out laughing. A great read.

    V.P. 4.16.

     

    Thank you, how are you buddy?

     

    What was the festive period like for you, different, I guess?

  16. fairhill bhoy on

    JIMMYNOTPAUL-I think the ghuys were just a bit worried you hadn’t been on for a while.Im sure someone will now let them know you’re ok.

     

    My Christmas was good,it couldn’t be anything else with 3grandweans.

     

    Stay safe buddy 🍀💚

    All good points, can’t disagree.

     

     

    I may feel happier with our more experienced keeper starting but otherwise we’ll see what happens.

  23. Tontine Tim on

    DAVID66 on 26TH DECEMBER 2020 2:27 PM

     

     

    We need to keep on Der Huns coattails and pray that we can beat them on the 2nd and somewhere they have a slip.

     

     

    *and that’s about the size of it, however, we can still put them under pressure similar tae ’68.

     

     

    On January 2 we are 2 points behind them having lost our first game as European champions to them in only our second League game of the new season in a bruising game where big provan broke his own leg trying tae break wee ten thirty’s.

     

     

    The record books will tell us they beat us with 10 men, not so as their greatest ever thug went tae left back and the wee Fife ned johnson, a player who was a constant a thorn in our side, came on as sub.

     

     

    After they fortuitously scored the Buzz Bomb hit the post, had a shot cleared off the line and in the dying seconds the wee mhan made an erse of an opportunity instead of laying the ball off tae Stevie or Wispy who were in better scoring positions.

     

     

    We also dropped 2 more points in draws at home tae St Johnstone and the Arabs, the former the Saturday after losing 1-2 tae Dynamo Kiev in the first leg of the Big Cup, the wee mhan was sent off early doors for retaliation against former Celt Kenny Aird. So that was 3 points conceded in a week.

     

     

    As for the Arab game, Wispy was booked after going tae war with ex hun jimmy millar and then sent off for gubbin the original dive bomber davie wilson after words were swapped between them, “turncoat bassa” was allegedly part of that conversation.

     

     

    It should be noted in his career after deidco with the arabs and sons wilshun never scored against his old team, even when the net lay empty in front of him he would somehow contrive tae miss it.

     

     

    Deidco also dropped a couple points, again at home, tae the calvinists and pars, so that was us 4 points behind but with a game in hand.

     

     

    Earlier that season in the summer deico had opened the orange club biscuit tin and signed sorensen, penman, persson and sir furious to compliment the signings the summer before of both smiths.

     

     

    And yet even with all of that plus, as I already mentioned, beating us at the start of the season with one of those new acquisitions orange persson scoring the winner and sitting at the top of the League unbeaten they managed tae fire their manager who had led them tae six Titles, five SC and four LC as well as two losing appearances in the Lavvy Cup.

     

     

    He was replaced by former Bully Wee manager davie white who’s greatest claim tae fame was giving WGS his debut when he had moved on tae the City of Discovery team.

     

     

    That January day we pummeled them with Bobby Murdoch playing at inside right tae allow Jim Brogan a marker role beside Billy and Luggie. Both Bobby and wee ten thirty were imperious and scored both our goals that crispy afternoon.

     

     

    Bobby’s was one of the greatest goals I have ever seen at Parkheid, and that includes his left foot exocet in the same fixture 2 years before, when with around 10 minutes to go he swiveled and again with his left foot rocketed a shot past sorensen for what we all thought was the winner.

     

     

    Was this history being made as the first, and as it now seems only, game where we would beat that scabby mob with r ight h un davids hun officiating. Unfortunately not as in the dying minutes a speculative shot from “kai yai yippee the Pope’s an effin hippy” hit a divot and squirmed under the unfortunate John Fallon deputising in goal for the injured faither.

     

     

    Seemingly the first day back at training the Big Mhan pulled the players together and told them that if they wanted to retain their Title they would have tae win every League game from then until the end of the season and also hope they dropped further points as we widnae play them again.

     

     

    As it was the only reverse we had was on a sunny but chilly day just over 3 weeks later in a SC loss tae the Pars at home where honest mistakes were in vogue again by the Airdrie craftsman.

     

     

    The above noted game was the last time that season the team would be without the Buzz Bomb which would prove highly beneficial as the games played out.

     

     

    As Eddie Fisher once said “You’ve gotta have heart, all you really need is heart, when the odds are sayin’ you’ll never win, that’s when the grin should start”.

     

     

    And that’s all we had, it was out of our hands, of the 2 League games that season they had picked up 3 points out of four.

     

     

    We were rampant though, scoring for fun as well as being resolute in defense and by the end of that run though we had won all our games with a total of 54 goals scored and only 7 conceded.

     

     

    Meanwhile deidco hung on winning their games as well, however, in the same time frame they scored 47 goals but conceded 19.

     

     

    Still we continued to put pressure on them and then on Tuesday April 2 they dropped a point up at Tannadice, in fact it should have been both points as the wee dive bomber somehow contrived tae miss putting the ball intae an empty net, in fact the photies in the next morning’s sports pages it looked like he was clearing his lines.

     

     

    By this time they too had exited the SC on a dreary March Wednesday evening at swinecastle where a Donald Ford goal 4 minutes from time dumped them out on their erses.

     

     

    One week after the point dropped at Tannadice they exited the Fairs Cup at the hands of 2 Celtic minded lhads Johnny Giles and Peter Lorimer. Now they only had the League and Glasgow Cup to concentrate on.

     

     

    Ooops I forgot, they withdrew from the latter before playing us in the semis due tae fixture congestion thereby giving us a bye intae the final against the Bully Wee. In other words, they were feart tae play us.

     

     

    On the evening of April 17 with 2 League games to go, while we were demolishing our east end neighbours Clyde 8-0 in the GC Final, down at Inverclyde the home team Morton were obliging us with the point we required tae put us in the driver’s seat.

     

     

    That night, unable to attend hunden I was watching Scotsport when Arthur Montford announced at the start of the programme there had been a 6 goal thriller at Cappielow.

     

     

    When the half time whistle went and the Ton were leading 3-1 we knew that at least that precious point was in the bag.

     

     

    Ironically they were now saying that if two teams finished level on points at the top then the League should be decided by a play-off and not by goal average. You couldnae make it up.

     

     

    So on the Saturday we entertained the same Morton side at Parkheid, we clapped them on tae the park, took an early lead only for the aptly named mason, the hero of the previous Wednesday night, tae equalise on the stroke of half time.

     

     

    We pummeled them playing intae the Celtic end that afternoon but tae no avail, if the game had been decided by the old Charity Cup rule of on corners we would have ran away with it.

     

     

    Even Charlie G’s corners, and there were many, didnae produce that elusive goal, if this had been a boxing match the ref would have mercifully stopped it.

     

     

    Meanwhile down at the templars they won 2-1 and as their game finished before ours and thinking we had dropped our first point in the second half of the season both sets of fans left the ground singing and dancing.

     

     

    That is until a relentless wee mhan once more worked the ball intae the box, Wispy again contrived tae miss it but as it looked as if the ball was running out of play Lemon who had scored in 14 successive games after missing that SC game back in January somehow stabbed it over the line.

     

     

    Standing in the Celtic end that afternoon we all looked at the mitb and his linesman first, a great silence then the place exploded. The mhan I call the Latter Day Christ leapt from the dugout, gammy leg and all, evaded a couple of polis as he made tae the players all piled on top of one another.

     

     

    The following Saturday Jock left hunden with his arms in the air, his former side had beat the calvinists tae win the SC but news had filtered through fae hades that after leading 2-1 the huns then surrendered tae 2 Ian Taylor goals, the winner being scored in the 90th minute tae give them a 3-2 victory and deidco their first loss of the season.

     

     

    So we were unofficially champions unless we lost by 23 goals tae nothing, that Tuesday night over 50,000 Celtic supporters allegedly made their way tae the Kingdom, they were on the roof, floodlights and any accessible point tae witness 2 Celtic minded players lead their sides on tae the park, Big Billy for us and Roy Barry for the Pars.

     

     

    One down at half time we recovered tae win 2-1, both goals being scored by our wee Saltcoats talisman tae give him 16 games in succession finding the net. Should mibbees build a statue tae him.

     

     

    So there it is, if we want TIAR that much we have tae put the present crowd under so much pressure their collective erses fall out.

     

     

    That hun team in 1968 was a very good side laden with internationalists where hundreds of thousands had been splashed out on stopping us.

     

     

    Their manager davie white actually wisnae that bad. In his only season with the Bully Wee he took them tae 3rd place in the League and us tae a replay in the semis of the SC in that wonderful season of 1967, at that time he was labeled as one of the country’s prominent up and coming managers.

     

     

    A couple of years later he was also the city of discovery team manager when they beat us 1-0 in the LC Final after we had demolished the huns with a harry harry hatrick in the semis.

     

     

    As far as I’m concerned he was a very good manager who only lost his job at hades after a campaign by the express’s sports writer willie waddell, who coveted the position for himself, who incidentally also failed tae win a title while their manager.

     

     

    Davie was a far better manager than the former Melwood tea boy or his loud mouth assistant.

     

     

    So as I said it is up to us, the talent is there and before anyone says that the ’68 side was the Lions, don’t forget this was only a year later and we still didnae know, Big Cup or no, how good the really were.

     

     

    It was also only 5 years after a humiliation at hunden where the huns chanted ease easy easy.

     

     

    As for the scottish freemason association and mitb interference, it was always there and we still overcame it.

  24. fairhill bhoy on

    I don’t think we have a standout goalie. Admittedly Barkas hasn’t really had the chance you would expect a £4m purchase to get,So far. I would rather have him in before Hazard.

  25. bankiebhoy1 on

    While we are facing the bleakest o’ prospects against the FOD………

     

    I’m hopin’ that a friendly-fire face aff, face-savin’ erse-coverin’ exercise amidst the various factions o’ the Judean People’s Popular Front might be avoided………………

     

     

    at least for the tim being…..

    I don’t normally post on here much now at all, I used to post infrequently in the past. I just popped on for a look and found I had to login to see the latest posts.

     

     

    I’m glad I had to or I would have missed that tremendous post by Tontine Tim, I had forgotten how detailed and insightful his recollections are of past Celtic game history it is absolutely mind blowing.

     

     

    My hat tip Sir.

    Watching the Liverpool game.

     

    Interesting stat.

     

    The famed duo of Robertson and Trent Alexander have a combined total of 8 assists in a combined 37 games this season

     

     

    Taylor and Frimpong have combined 7 assists in combined 38 games

     

     

    Not much in it

    Make a stir fry , get chilli into it garlic carrots onions soy or chow mein sauce, if you have rice noodles use them or rice

  35. Jinkyredstar on

    Tontine – great summary of 67/68 – I was at Hampden for the 8-0 cup final as news from Greenock filtered through and directly behind the goal, near the front, when Bobby slotted in the winner against Morton on the Saturday- fir a wee Bhoy from Greenock those where two great occasions 😀

  36. 31003 on

    BANKIEBHOY1

     

     

    Agreed

     

     

    I’m just thinking about the times I’VE moaned about Taylor and Frimpong not hitting the bye line. I’m maybe too hard on them

  41. fairhill bhoy on

    GENE-they have more targets all over the place.

     

    Liverpool are my second team and I’m watching the game now.

     

    It’s unfair to compare our 2 with there 2 .Miles apart.
