Helsingborgs IF are sixth after 17 games in the Swedish Allsvenskan, seven points off Elfsborg and Malmo, who ended Scotland’s interest in the Champions League last season. Our opponents clearly play it tight on the road, they have lost only eight goals away from home, considerably fewer than anyone else in the league (Malmo: 19), although their home goals for and against are not unusually low (scored 14 to Malmo’s 16 at home, conceded nine to Malmo’s one).
Helsingborgs have lost only three league games, fewer than anyone else. Four draws from nine home games appears to have cost them most ground in the title race.
Celtic can expect to face a tight defence who are well versed at shutting teams out in the second leg in Glasgow where they will need the creative talents of Kris Commons with perhaps Paddy McCourt p[laying a role. A big European-night atmosphere at Celtic Park will be invaluable.

Sing an understated version of Seasons in the Sun, with the 7-1.
That really winds them up.

Can you get an unbiased account of the Spanish civil war ?

Great photograph! Worth more than 1000 words. How good is the camera at capturing social history like this? Fabulous.

I’d previously said that the building held no emotional for this particular old romantic.
However, when I look at pictures like that and the one bourne posted earlier, where I could picture myself up on the railings as Tommy Burns’ funeral passed by, all of a sudden you realise how much the old place has in the Celtic psyche.
personally see no particular architectural merit in the school building
some affection for it is understandable given it is familiar, been there for 100+ years etc.
but because its old is not any reason for keeping it.
wonder what protests there were when the first CP was laid out, or what affectionate anecdotes were mentioned of days working at the brickfield before CP2 was created ;-)
As well as doing my proper job, i have a little sideline in restoring antique furniture, i have qualifications and everything in it. I restrict my restoration projects to pieces from family and friends and normally get paid in red wine and gin but i digress.
When studying this subject i was taught not to accept jobs where the price of restoration was greater than the restored value of the piece of furniture.
The exception to this rule is when the piece of furniture in question has a deep sentimental value to the customer. You cant put a price on sentiment, or so i was told.
London road school is part of many fans experience and memories of supporting Celtic, it’s part of our past, I would like to see it part of our future.

Granted it seems a bit of an oxymoron to use the phrase ‘unbiased’ when referring to a civil war.
However, over the years I’ve read quite a few books on the subject and Beever’s account is as close to it as you could find.
Just my opinion though mate. I still have a copy if you’re interested.

look… it was one turd ok?
and it was dried… ye cannae smoke a wet one.
my pal told me the Bedouin got fired up on it, so I thought… what the hell. It wasn’t the smokin of it that got me the belt, it was what it made me do.
To this day I can’t look a horse in the face.

With what happened to the wee lassie down south on my mind I couldn’t but despair at some of the indecent denim wear, namely bum exposing shorts, of some very young girls- now I ain’t a prude nor am I easily shocked but I must admit to my despair at seeing kids reveal that much about their body’s- the premature sexuality of kids and our society’s tolerance, and even promotion of it, is something I cannot accept is normal or positive.
All I could think of was “thank god I’m not a father.”
You don’t want to make kids too over cautious…but its a bad bad world out there.
Maybe my despair was caused by getting old and having that poor wee lassie oan my mind.
Off to bed before I start talking like Rab C…

Would be interested in reading his book.

—————————
there was an interview with CATMAN on local tv, as the funeral took place right across from the railings. its stuck in my head for ever as such a supporters moment, the place to be, the railings in the background, the high red sandstone , its part of kerrydale street. i want it retained.
cost isnt everything.

The very same guy. I’ll look it out for you mate.

Thanks for your reply,which I nearly missed.!!!
You have a Spanish connection,garcia? It always fascinated me to know that Pele was the nickname of Edson Arantes Do Nascimiento (sp?) and that his nickname meant “fighter”.Dont know the Portuguese,but “pelear” is the Spanish.
Re.Gordon and big Frank Haffey.Frank was a marvellous player and a character.He played in Sydney for the St Gearge Budapest club in the South of Sydney.They have a photograph of him balancing,horizontally ( ! ).on the crossbar.during a game.
He also may have been the goalie who dealt with a cross ball by heading it clear.
Not to mention the time he put a goal kick into his own net.
What a guy.

there is another picture i recall and just cant find,
its around 72-74, and the players are going to training at Barrowfield and are coming down Kerrydale st, and in the background the school weans are playing, not looking.
might have been an Ajax game. definately a european game.

Yes he did.Also”Berlin,the downfall”.He’s wrote one recently about the battle for Normandy which I’d like to read.You should read it too ht because you pass through quite a few battlefields on the way to your house.I’m sure hill 112 is on the main road or just to the right of it.

In his own words Edson was to be called Edison, because his town was getting electric lighting, but his dad misspelt it on the birth certificate.
not a lot of people know that.

I’ve got this old painting in the scullery by that Piscasso fellow.
Pure minging.
Is it worth anything ?
G64,
Anthony Beever… also did an excellent book on the fall of Berlin
Por Cierto, Francos Friends by Peter Day is also worth a read
There is another book I’m trying to remember on the lack of will in Spain to address the Civil War legacy… something like Silent Spain… I’ll dig around
Burn down the school building.
Hang the blessed teachers.
Build a big shiny boax.
The school says nothing to me about my life.
Hang the teachers
Hang the teachers
Hang the teachers.
Hang the teachers

Jinky leaves Celtic Park for the last time.
If we were to pick 10 statues for the proposed Celtic Way, who would you pick? Assuming Brother Waldrid, Jock and Jinky remain you have seven more to select. Id go for Henrik, Caesar, Willey Malley, Jimmy McGrory, Fergus, Ronnie Simpson and Craigie Whyte. Thoughts?

Great link to the Jake Thackray song.
