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

    Most banks have a service you can use if you believe it to be phishing. Ye just forward the mail onto them. Usually something like bankname @ spoof.co.uk

     

     

     

    In the meantime always check the proper details of who has sent it and keep flagging up as spam

    I am very sorry to read of your loss.

     

    At my own fathers funeral my father in law said something very simple and yet very profound to me.

     

     

    ” I’m sorry for you your loss son.

     

    You only ever have wan faither.”

     

     

    Sincere condolences,

    There was NO personal attack on anyone – merely comment and satire.

     

     

    Furthermore – YOU will not tell ME what to post and what NOT to post.

     

     

    This is an open forum, where people express their views – you are not the moderator!

    I hope he goes with the same formation , I am worried about AM defensively but you are probably right that Efe won’t start.

     

    Could be one game too many for GMS so soon in the hoops, but is someone who could make an impact later from the bench.

    Sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing.

     

     

    May he rest in peace.

     

     

    Prayers said for those that remain.

     

     

    Take care.

    Sincerest condolences to you and your family,

     

    My prayers are with you.

    Saw your earlier post re depression.

     

     

    I too suffered badly a couple of years ago, culminating in me doing something really stupid.

     

     

    Although it didn’t seem stupid at the time.

     

     

    If you want to talk get my email address (home) from Paul67.

     

     

    I’m a good listener!

     

     

    Take care my friend.

  12. If Matthews plays, and I expect him too, play our Captain wide right in the middle of the park to assist him.

     

     

    Plus, I like Broonie playing there.

    If you have a on-line Celtic account then it will allocate a ticket to you (if you qualify) moreover you can ask for other ST’s by re-assigning their ID’s to the tickets.

     

     

    As a matter of interest I asked for my group of 4 only 2 of us were allocated tickets. Not that it mattered since no one can go anyway.

    I am now waiting for them to get back to me as I have forgotten my password (again)

    Reminds me of what my late faither in law used to say when you poured him a whisky and asked if he would like water in it…………..’only if there’s room’
