Good afternoon, champions! If you enjoy your history……….
Yesterday, Celtic retained the league title, which has been a rare achievement for much of our history. We won six in a row during the first decade of the 20th century, then won four in a row (1914-17) during the Great War, but it would be another 50 years before Celtic retained the league title, on 6th May 1967.
Jock Stein re-wrote all the rules during his nine in a row era but after that ended in 1974, Billy McNeill retained the tile in 1982 and it would be another 20 years before Martin O’Neill retained it, the only time he did so.
Gordon Strachan then set about writing his own chapter in our history, retaining the league in 2007 and 2008, while becoming only the third manager in our history, after Willie Maley and Stein, to win three in a row (history awaits you, Neil).
Neil Lennon now joins a select band of Celtic managers, Maley, Stein, McNeill, O’Neill and Strachan, who have retained the league title.
In total Celtic have retained the league title 22 times but yesterday was only the fourth time since nine in a row. It was the sixth time in total we have won two in a row.
Remarkably, of the 13 times Celtic have retained the league since 1919, this is only the third time it has been achieved at Celtic Park, the other occasions being when we beat St Mirren in 1982 (remember unwelcome half time news from Pittodrie over the PA?), and Livingston, to win the 2002 title. Lazy journalism prevents me from confirming which of the pre-1920 titles were won at Celtic Park.
This is your history, I hope you enjoy the memories as much as I do.
The Andrea Kearney Fund, which supports women diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy, is holding its annual dinner at the Radisson Hotel in Glasgow on Saturday 1 June. The event is excellent value with a cracking line up of entertainment, including Ricky Ross, Michelle McManus and Lou Hickey. The fight against this disease goes on….
You can book a table here. Look forward to seeing you at the dinner.
Enjoying the incredulous Sevco 5088 events, more on that later.
Service notice:
Still some work planned on the mobile site.

I see the original holy goalie has lined up posh paul fae the mossie posse as well as phil mac and paul mc.
Is it 10th May in kosc blantyre ?
Jinks certainly is
SFTB,
I am assuming you do not realise (like most of us) that Kojo and the Singing Dick are the one and same? Two sides of the same right wing hackneyed and stereotyped coin. As I have said may times on here, to them/him, “you’re never alone with a schizophrenic”.
However, in mitigation, I do like the use of the Ulster Scots/Lallans/Rabbie Burns vernacular in the posts of the aforementioned. Just a pity about the offensive content. Not good enough behaviour from of an alleged member of the Celtic family.
Just my honest opinion.
That said, I’m off “outwith”.

rm and ff at each others throats again ……..bitter foul-mouthed stuff, as usual….they really are a shower of f*nnies …. No wonder they imploded……and ‘they’ want them back….

Bmcuw,
Cheers. One-time peek only, promise! Ta.
Will post final draft tomorrow. I intend including other people’s comments – several have sai that Wilson, in particular, has hacked them off. Gotta give the guy his due, at least he replied.
Hail Hail!
I was worried you’d say that, you will need two fingers then ;)

I really appreciate what you are doing for me. It gets sooooo frustrating when I cannot copy and paste info I am dying to let CQN know. Ah well, will probably get the “which” magazine. .????.? :))

Context my good mhan, context, you will catch on one day >}
TSD
So No time mentioned? No place agreed? You sure you’re the big strong Rugby player you purport to be? Did your team play in all yellow?
SPF
Cant remember his name – but he was a wee fat pr***!
We lost the first two games that season, and then proceeded to score 17 goals in the next 4 but finished second in the group to St Mirren.
We lost the first two games because Willie Garner was CH! He did not play in the following four! Too late!
HH!!

I am aware of the rumours. Hell, I may even have started some of them.
However, Kojo assures us he is not TSD and Kojo is an honourable man, to be taken at his word, is he not? :-)
Just a bit off topic, can anyone guess how much for a dog to get a tooth extracted, descaling, and polish at the vet? No postcards allowed. :))

Why would you polish a tooth after extraction?

After weeks of rumour and speculation Shally has demanded clarity. The 23 stone Sevco manager who coined the phrase “I don’t do waddling away” said today:-
“I just want to know the truth so that I know what I’m dealing with. I’ve heard lots of rumours that Greggs have reduced the size of Steak Bakes by 10%. They still look the same size and cost the same price but, after my usual 4 at lunch time, I now find that I’m peckish again around 3pm and having to top up with a couple of Durranties Yum Yums.
Let’s have clarity so that we can all move on.”
Ok mate no problem but if you get stuck Google it!
Great news about the wee man today, I remember the heartbreak here when Paul informed us of Niamh slipping away. There were tears of sadness & joy in the Doyle household today.
