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.

Occasional curiosity or highlighting by others, sometimes make me read Kojo or TSD submissions to this site.
The “hiya”, “pally” and “my dear” stuff, makes the skin crawl.
The other stuff, should have the fanny’s (fanny ?) banned, pronto.
Las Vegas ? My fanny.
TBJ, I’m in for the 10th.

Ach, they’ve called us many names, we’re still here and thriving
But I found the comment just plain Nasty
You know what I mean?
Before I go a wee repost from Deludedland(RM)
On ways to make money .
PL and our board will be panicking with the thinking of this newclubs fans, I TELL YE
Ps this is not made up so start worrying they will be billionaires soon :))
———————–
What can we do bar sell merchandise and tickets?
I suggested a R*****s branded beer which if tasted decent would sell for fun. What can we do to make more money?
– Big bouncy castle outside Ibrox- Charge the kids £2 to do the bouncy with broxi for a minute.
– Have a paintball zone near Ibrox only blue red and white paint is allowed. Teams of 30 v 30 charge a good few quid.
– Charge fans to loan a walkie talkie for the match so they can contact the UB or BO to start a song of their choice. Radio in your favourite song eg Fan in club deck: Barcelona 1972 do you copy. UB Commander: Copy fellow bear lets get this going.
-Blue cheese pizza – bit different from normal pies and burgers.
– Half time sprint. 40 fans run length of the pitch. Fans can bet on the winner. Good cash for the club.
——————–
I have a mental picture of the walkie-talkie crew:))
GOOD NIGHT ALL

Oh,indeed….
We’ve even reclaimed a few of their derogatory terms as a badge of honour and GIRUY
Hence the brilliant FENIAN ARMY stuff yesterday when Paddy came on.
TSD
Want to meet a hobbit up close and personal?
Or are you still wanting to hide amongst us as the most scared yellow-bellied Master Race master debator with an Ernst Roehm fixation?
Just looked in bhoys . any word on the meeting at Hamilton tonight. Did spl2 get an airing .

I loved the Benfica goal. Speed, speed, speed.
Speed of movement, speed of pass, speed of thought.
Copy fellow bear……oh dear, the mind truly boggles.
40 sevconians running the length of the pitch?
Hope they’ve got a shit load of defibrillators handy.

Heard it before Kojo.
I understand Las Vegas is famed for reproducing interesting sites from around the world in replica form.
Huv they not got round to replicating Airdrie yet?
Is your quartier on the far outskirts of Vegas? You never seem to be around there when the boys are over to meet and greet.
Your apology is in the post. It will arrive on this site just after your apology for racist language appears on here.
BT – speedy recovery wishes for you…. only because you seem to be enjoying the morphine too much :))
Re our resident ‘pal’ with the plentiful posting personas….
I gave up reading his comments a good few years back. Well saying gave up I still indulge them every now and again. Like a little ornament on the mantle piece. You have a look at it, maybe even take it down now and again and give it a polish. For the most part though it gets ignored.
Anyway my fav post of koko the clown was the one mentioned earlier. In it we were all advised to buy shares in the banks as it was a sure winner…. a stick on…. a shoo in!!
That was about 2 or 3 months before the banks collapsed and the crunch started.
Still a clown
tails a leadin him
pyfinl
ISP blockers, they work a treat.
Oh, where do I want to reside today ?
Africa, Oz, LA, Gable end in Airdrie, choices, choices, choices…
Am happy in ma cave, little amuses us trogs.

Scottish Premier League bottom club Dundee and Second Division winners Queen of the South met with all 10 Division One clubs and Scottish Football League chief executive David Longmuir at Hamilton’s New Douglas Park.
Afterwards, a spokesman said on behalf of those who had attended: “The clubs still feel there is a willingness for change and a window of opportunity still exists to agree on a way forward, and what can be accepted for the benefit of all 42 clubs.
“Accordingly, a small working group will seek to discuss with the relevant bodies how we can best progress the way forward as soon as possible.”

To the Rest of My Dear Readership
Guys and Gals.
I do not expect..
Setting Free the Bears to follow my suggestion .. about sending that Enquiring E-Mail
to Sir Paul.
Because..
Once ..
Once and for all..
Setting Free the Bears was faced with the Truth.. that
Kojo, did ..Indeed..
Live, Love,ad Woik… Not in the U.K.. as he and his Cohorts . have been Suggesting..
for Years..on Here,by the way…
But..
Kojo, does ,in fact.. Reside.. where he has always Claimed that he does…
Which is in… Las Vegas, Nevada.. the Good ole U.S. of A.
Setting Free the Bears ,would be forced tae Stoap.. his.. Lying..
which.. not tae put a fine point, oan it..
He Is Doing, regarding Me Place of Residence..
He also.. Lies.. aboot aloat of Ither things..concerning Ma Good Self..
Which, Ah canny be bothered tae go Intae..
Jist let’s Say
Setting Free The Bears
is
A TRUTH.. TWISTER..
Hey.. Ah like That…
yep..
Setting Free the Bears.. as far as making observations concerning Ma Character.. is
a
Truth Twister…

My Dear Kojo….
Good Grief…!!!!
Ena -Sharples-Hugs-A-Bear Is A Shameless Character….
In Between The Insults…He Throws So Many Straws In The Wind…
That It Is Impossible To Address Each Point He Raises….

Where Does One Start…!
The Crusades..?
A Timely Reaction….
To Ongoing And Constant Muslim Aggression….
And Invasion Into Christian Lands…
From Spain And Southern France…
To The Balkans….
And Precipitated By The Murder Of A Group Of Christian Pilgrims In The Holy Land…..
And The Levelling Of A Significant Holy Shrine….

Waco…???? (And ‘Ruby Ridge’…)
Seemed Like A Massive Over-Reaction…
By The Clinton Administration….
To An Obscure Cult…..
Who Didn’t Appear To Pose A Threat…
To The General Population….

Oklahoma Bombing……??
Commonly Referred To As An Attack Big Central Government….
In Response To The Waco Incident….
Iraq Veteran McVeigh Labelled A Racist ….And White Supremacist…??
Hardly Fits The Picture….
For A Start,Most Of The Members Of The Waco Group….
And Most Of The Victims…
Were From The Ethnic Minorities….
Most Experts Recognise That Waco And The Oklahoma Bombing…..
Were Never Fully Investigated By The Clinton Administration…..
Indeed The Iraq Connection……
Where At Least One Former IRAQI Soldier….

Good point.
But how funny would it be if the ambulance said
“sorry,there’s the matter of an unpaid bill……”
I’m outta here. Don’t expect the big scared Rugby player to accept my offer.
Apologies for taking any focus off the great news from the Knox household. So long as that kind of stuff appears about real strong men and real proud faiths, we have little to fear from scared racists.
Goodnight CQN
Hoping for good news on Miki 67 next
Hearing that the sevco licence, under any other business will be discussed at SFA board meeting tomorrow. Probably the start of the cover up/damage limitation plan being put in place.
Time to crawl into the depths of the cave, believe it or not, it’s warm and cosy, we even have running water, leccy, internet, sewage, heating though it’s really not needed apart from the depths of winter.
What a life, and if I awake the morra, it will be warm, and it will get warmer as the day goes by, aye, what a life, and to top it off, CL footy in the local bar, free vino to boot, and free tapas, what more could a man ask for.
Take care and god bless Timland.
Sleep well champions.

Looks like The Mighty Glasgow Rioters ( Newco Chapter ) find themselves hanging from the cliff face by their fingernails according to the good Phil.
Jeezo, these Huns love to burn through the cash, no ?
That’s about the only thing they love.
Check those torn faces, the destruction of cities, vile chants, bomb threats and bad cardigans.
Peace and love and stylish fashion in short supply over there my good friends.
I look forward to the new mob going down the toilet.
It is funny.

Think I’ll take to watching the CBBC channel tomorrow morning instead of scrolling back to see if there’s been any enlightened posting on the night shift.
Blog seems to be a talking-shop these days for; the self-righteous, fundamentalists and bickering sweetie-wives.
……………….. and here’s me thinking it was meant to be CFC football driven!
