Inter trepidation, Packy, Tommy, Joe & Patricia

809

Inter have hit a bit of form recently but comments coming out of Milan indicate their visit to Celtic Park is viewed with some trepidation.  The stadium’s Champions League reputation remains fresh in the memory, even if the team has been transformed since the last major victory over a truly top team two years ago.

A number of those who will play for Celtic on Thursday will have only seen those great European nights on television.  Playing in front of 60,000 Celtic fans will be a new experience.  Transforming this support into an energising force is our job.  Inter’s first objective will be to frustrate and quieten the crowd.  My hunch is that this will be difficult.

We have the line-up confirmed for the CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner, which is at the Kerrydale Suite on Friday 13 March.  Topping the bill for the Q&A is Packy Bonnar, Jock Stein’s last signing, who made his debut on St Patrick’s Day 1979.

Packy’s Celtic and Ireland team-mate, Tommy Coyne, will also be taking part.  Tommy had an incredible career and speaks intelligently on football, and life in general.  We’re also delighted to have Joe Miller.  Joe played in the same Celtic team as Packy and Tommy.  Part of our historic Centenary Team, he also scored that unforgettable Scottish Cup Final winner.  More recently Joe formed the Association of Former Celtic Players.

To mark the 50th anniversary of Jock Stein’s first game as Celtic manager, which takes place that week, we also have Jock’s personal friend and biographer, Archie Macpherson will speak about the great man.  If you’ve ever needed inspiration…..

I’m also delighted to confirm we have Celtic’s First Lady of Song, Patricia Ferns, who is making the journey over from Ireland for our night.

Let me know if you still need a ticket, celticquicknews@gmail.com

    Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    Meant to share this with the blog when i came back from

     

    our club yesterday but got carried away with a rant about

     

    something else and had to scroll back to see what i’d actually

     

    posted, unfortunately i broke the golden rule.

     

    Never post when pashed.

     

    Some of you had asked how our very own Bobby Geddes

     

    was, i suppose as well as can be expected with that kind

     

    of illness, his father came to the club on Sunday and

     

    presented us with a lovely inscribed plaque which they had

     

    made specially as a thank you for our fundraising on his sons

     

    behalf, that will take pride of place on our clubs memorial wall

     

    between wee Jinky and some of the other Celtic greats.

     

    We also gave him a surprise by handing him a cheque of

     

    $ 1500 which was sent to us last week from the Perth CFC

     

    magnificent gesture from these ghuys

     

    and a further $ 500 from our members raised with raffles etc.

     

    at Sundays bash, added to the amount already raised will help

     

    ease the families financial worries at least.

     

    Cue another YNWA and many tears.

     

     

    Celtic supporters eh, who’s like us?

    Willie Waddell-

     

    Rainjurs fans used tae batter their wives if they didnae win. Yep.

     

    And he thought that was acceptable.

  6. LEAGUE CUP FINAL TICKETS-No letters being sent out,see CFC website tomorrow for ticket eligibility.

  7. A genuine worry for me is that our players have not kicked a ball at CP in some time. I would get them some passing time on it between now and Thursday

    That goal reminds me of Pele pre-match in Escape to Victory….

    Sort of like GMS really!

    I see that Celtic have invited the surviving members of the 1967 Inter side to the game on Thursday. All expenses paid!

     

     

    A lovely gesture.
