Very grateful to whoever at the BBC researched that Celtic are the third team in European football history to achieve the Double Treble, after The New Saints (TNS) and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). This level of brilliance it exceptional by any standards.
Despite the levels of dominance TNS and PSG enjoy in their domestic leagues, neither were able to complete a Treble Treble; only Celtic can do that now.
The Scottish Cup Final was an exercise in game management by Brendan Rodgers. His team took a two goal lead and set about making sure Motherwell would be unable to lay a glove on them.
The strongest weaker foot in the game
Among the remarkable performances on the day, special mention has to go to Callum McGregor. Yet again he scored on the big stage, yet again with his supposed weaker foot, yet again the crucial first goal. His game intelligence bought him the space to attack when the ball was headed out of the Motherwell penalty area. The shot, hit on the drop-volley, was controlled and crisp.
I doubt there is a better finisher in Scottish football.

Owen Paul played with Charlie Nicholas and Willie McStay as a Celtic youth player. My good bhoyhood mate fae Knightswood Dallas Dallas will be on to correct me if I am wrong. ????????
Johnny Marr’s third solo album is his best yet.
He has found his soul in 2018 Magic
DD, Remember how we used to love Charlie Nicholas?
rip helen.
Thanks for the welcome Folks to thom the Tim for Oscar my user name is there in memory when I first met the great Jimmy Mc Grory it was around mid April 66 me and my tradesman were doing a job in Mr McGrory sisters house and i asked if she seen much of him she told me that he would be coming in later around 5pm which would be to late for me but low and behold I met the great man when we finished coming along the street it was just of the paisley rd west so here he was so I asked him this question Big jock had arrived in the March 65 and we had won the league cup in October 65 we were on course to win the league but rangers were starting to peg us back as soon as I asked it I wish I hadn’t any way I said how do think our new manager will do ,do you think we’ll take the league my tradesman was a blue nose so I don’t think he was to interested in the answer here we find the humility and insight of Jimmy McGrory we all no Jimmy wasn’t the greatest of manager’s but he knew greatness when he seen it he answered me with Son I just remember the great 6 in a row team and I’ll tell you now that Jock Stein will surpass that record, mark my words he will become a great manager that’s the only question I asked him and yes I had been taken aback by the answer I said thanks Mr McGrory and took my leave years later I occasionally bumped into that tradesman and he always remarked on that meeting with Awe what a Truly Humble Great Great Man the rest they say is H——– PS Martin o Neill is of course up there with the best But he should not have said what he said isn’t it amazing what our mainly ex players come away with Jackie macnamarra rangers won their titles fair and square 11 v 11 and deserved the titles Paul Lambert rangers should not have been relegated there is a few ,supposed to be legends loose with the tongue just shut up no you don’t ever deserve an opinion when it hurts the Fans that help make you, maybe you’ll get a chance to ask the great legend in my user name what he thinks one day if your lucky Hh

I moved to Camden at the same time as Charlie moved to Arsenal. Went to Highbury to watch and support him. He was a hero of mine for a wee while.
DD, You know Michael (Bobby) give him a phone, I’m a bit worried. His posting has gone to next to zero. Make sure he is OK.

Just phoned Mick. No answer. It is late. He’ll be sleeping.

Excellent. More, please.
God Bless Helen. May she rest in eternal peace.
Morning Tims…..
Sad to see one complete half-wit seems to have got his way again.
Might be time to find another blog to read, the guy is just a dafty and I will bet he has never called out a stranger in a pub for supporting Celtic, seems as though he is on a won man mission to destroy this place.

Good morning, friends.
Was it last Tuesday that we learned that the SFA had issued a notice to Edminston Drive regarding licensing issues? Did the Notice allow them 7 days in which to respond? Asking for a friend.
Good morning good ghuys from a dry North Glagow
That is me just recovered from a brilliant weekend.
When I met Jimmy McGrory welcome.
Jobo I fear we won’t hear anymore about the licensing issue at the Bigotdome
Have a good day all a wee 3 day week for me starting today, yes..
Hail Hail
D. :)
Some might say the guy is a pathetic, attention seeking nomark, just ignore.
Skrtel would be a dreadful signing for Sevco – exactly what they don’t need. Another Alves: slow, over the hill, and expensive. No sell-on value, no room to improve. Another one-last-payday signing.
Heroes are forever- thank you for sharing the memories of Helen with us. May her soul rest in peace and God Bless you.
Helen will be smiling down on you, as she will be watching some team in the real paradise. Again God Bless

Goooooood Evening CQN – Double Treble Champions ???????
Now I read earlier someone question, if Broonie had signed for Another team in Glasgow, 11 years ago, would he have got an EBT ?
Well here’s a wee secret – shhh
Broonie has an EBT at Celtic
Every Bloody Trophy
???
Hail Hail-

Auldheid posted last night it would be interesting to see what the response was from Poundland!
Delaney’s re Owen Paul. I’m sure when he had his hit(s) in the early eighties , it was mentioned in the media he had played for Celtic Boys Club and was on our books at one point .
His older brother , Brian, was Simple Minds’ first drummer. Brian used to sit about 5 rows behind me in the South Stand .
Another fantastic first in Scotland last Saturday for us. Let’s build on the strong foundations we have plus improve our European results preferably in the Champions League

A very poignant post, thank you for sharing. Helen is now with the angels in paradise. Stay strong. YNWA HH

Sorry for your loss. Paradise here on earth will be all the poorer and up above all the richer for Helen’s arrival. May perpetual light shine upon her. Gob bless.

Sad to say, I remembered this straight off….
HEROES ARE FOREVER your Helen will be watching every game from heaven. May she rest in peace. Take care of yourself mate.
What a great day to be a Celtic supporter.
Heroes Are Forever: Helen’s love for Celtic shone through your post last night, as did your love for your daughter.

HAF,
a very heartfelt and loving post. Helen will be looking down from heaven and watching over you as you did for her.
Take care and may Helen RIP
HEROES ARE FOREVER
Terrible news about your beloved daughter.
May Helen rest in peace.
Prayers said for you and your family.
Hard to believe some of the stuff that is apparently viewed as genuine here now from and by otherwise savvy Tim contributers…… I mean, just re-read some of it………..fabrications, made-up spoilers, trolling repetitive guff
CQN still has its diamonds……..
………..but the odd “nuggets” are totally unbelievable. Laughable.

Mick, read your post last night and I agree with everything you said. The amount of people on here who
defended him over the years has been incredible.
If you can find fault with Celtic after this weekend then the is definitely something wrong. The Celtic Way, The Double Treble, Open top bus parade and stll nothing positive.
I stopped reading his posts as I do not think he EVER had a good word to say about CELTIC, be it the board,fans or the team. I did not comment when I read your post as it would look like people were ganging up on him (who shall be nameless) . I normally by pass his comments. His main problem IMHO is when he goes oot, he somehow comes back in
Keep posting Mick, enjoy the HOOT (I’m in Idonesia) but I’m sure you’ll have a great time.HH

Beyond parody…….designed to break up CQN play imo………. just as blatantly and sleekitly as Craig Thompshun pulling back one of our bhoys as he’s bearing down on the hun goal.
