Life truisms and leaving extra in the Hampden lockers

1052

There are truisms in life.  The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, night follows day and Hibernian Football Club will not win the Scottish Cup.  However, a failure to lift the trophy since Orville said to Wilbur, ‘I bet this thing gets off the ground’, does not guarantee subsequent failures.  Hibs have already beaten Celtic this season and are perfectly capable of doing so again on Sunday.

Before this season Kilmarnock hadn’t won at Celtic Park since 1955, but it happened.  St Johnstone, Motherwell, St Mirren, Inverness and Ross County beat us too.  All these defeats were against the odds; no more so than Hibs are on Sunday.

Celtic need to get in touch with how they felt after their League Cup semi-final defeat to St Mirren, a day of so much regret.  The 90 minutes will pass quickly, there’s no point leaving something in your locker for next week. Let’s get off to a flier.

Many thanks for sending over your Seville photographs, we are planning to pull photos and your comments on the event together into a special publication.  If you have any more please send them in, celticquicknews@gmail.com.

Willie Wallace will be signing copies of his book at Waterstones on Sauchiehall St between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday, 25th May.  Bet he knows what he was doing that very afternoon 46 years earlier.  Get along to see him or order your own signed copy below. This is going to be a great weekend.

    From reading through his tweets, the decision was reviewed after he sent a letter of apology, admitted he was in the wrong and promised never to do it again.

     

     

    Good on the club for taking this into account.

    Can you ask Willie why he thinks he Stevie, Joe and Bobby got so few caps at a time when they were all good for 25 plus goals a season?

     

     

    Can’t wait to see him tomorrow! At heart I’m still 7

    Gion to a waaddinn in St Pats Coatbridge and a load are coming over from Cork. Should be interesting!!

     

     

    Ps How are they at the old fighting?? lol Just asking like. <:)0)

    Agreed. If others who had received bans (for whatever offence committed) dealt with it in the same way, there would be a lot less animosity between supporters and the club.

  8. Congratulations to Coisty on his Div3 gong. Great achievement for a rookie.

     

     

    Shame he wasn’t available to collect his award, what with him being in the USA for a Sevco Charity white water rafting event.

     

     

    Is Alistair the white water raft??

  9. if anyone is going to the glencairn social club on sunday – can you have a look onto the football pitch to see if the game between the Fairway Tigers and the Fairway Loafers is still going on – my old man was playing in it and it kicked of about 33 years ago

    What kind of question is that? McGrain was far superior to Hutton.

  18. Good afternoon from a wet and windswept Co Durham, on my way up to Glasgow for what I hope is going to be a party weekend. Saw the following on the Land Rover next to me as I was leaving the ferry. It tickled me as I wondered to myself how often do they get called out in Holland :-)). Probably do as much work as Zeppelin builders:
