Maley, Stein, McNeill, O’Neill, Strachan and now Lennon

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    Kojo`s personal circumstances are his business and nobody else`s.

     

    Guilt by association with any geographical area would ,in itself,be racist.

  8. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    KOJO sure seems to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the WoS vernacular for someone who professes to have spent so little time here.

     

     

    I mean,a pile-on?!

     

     

    I had genuinely forgotten of such things.

     

     

    I congratulate him on his recall.

    Apologies if I came across as self righteous. I just hate to see this place soiled like that. I wish I had faith in Michael’s formula but there is no sign that this infestation will leave us.

     

     

    There is a sickness around this site when they appear.

    I know where your ISP says you come from.

     

     

    That doesn’t mean you actually live there.

     

     

    Now, where have I said that you don’t actually live in LA.

     

     

    Are you assuming I am talking about you in my previous post ??

     

     

    Sorry mi amigo, you are not that important to many of us on the blog, believe it or not, we have better things to worry about than you and your alter ego.

     

     

    If I am being honest, you are a good laugh on occasion, your football insight is no worse than most on here, and it is bang on sometimes, but when you go through everyone who is connected with the club, you are more than likely to be right from time to time.

     

     

    You are a racist mi amigo, that is a FACT.

     

     

    Me, I am happy in my wee world, hun free.

     

     

    There are many racists here, and I can confidently say that they are all brits, brits who have no tollerance of ethnic folks, I have Muslim friends, black friends, many south American friends, but sad to say, very few brit friends, probably cos they are racist just like you and your alter ego.

     

     

    Sleep well.

    A pile-on was a regular occurrence in my days at St Aloysius primary, and great fun they were too, as long as you were at the correct end of the aforementioned pile, still remember them as if it was yesterday although it was actually in the sixties!

     

     

    really could not care less if Kojo is in Vegas or Viewpark, however offering a square go

     

    is somehow, so last century!

  16. Ntassoolla on

    Resorting to strong arm threats and challenges is very limited.

     

     

    Doing so with someone you have never met is sheer stupidity.

     

     

    In a week leading up to a get together which BMCUW has diligently and cordially organised, it is off putting.

    TET that’s good.

     

    They’re honest guys who believe in trust and reputation.

     

    That Irish neighbour of mine could have been even more to the good – £9k – if he had transacted in cash. But he was a big feartie.

    You could have just as easily said “Religious freedom, sexual freedom or equality for women are not part of Christianity. Quite the opposite. Violently so in the Bible.” and it would have been no less accurate.

    TSD – what percentage of the Scottish population (where the majority of CQN users are) thought she (or more accurately her party) was good for Scotland?

  33. Ntassoolla on

    weeminger @00:07 I don’t subscribe to the view that 2 wrongs make a right.

     

     

    The Catholic Church does not prescribe violence for contravention of God’s Laws and has formally acknowledged the seperation of Church and State So they keep to their sphere, the spiritual.

     

     

    The arguments and debates have been settled in our society. They are not up for grabs again simply because outsiders who came here a few generations ago now think strength in numbers gives them the right to challenge our way of life on their terms.
