    TONTINE,

     

     

    OHR played on the grey gravel pitch in Clyde Street. St Eunans played on the red ash pitch of St Columba’s school behind St Eunans church.

     

     

    *Must have been OHR one Friday night then, played in red strips? Can’t recall St Onions as they we called them back then and a red blaize pitch.

     

     

    Played against st Stephens at Mount Blow, St Marys Duntocher in a horrible ash park opposite Dicks Pub and St Josephs Faifley in Goldenhill and a park on the outskirts of Faifley on the way tae Bearsden, think we changed in an old big house or castle, anyway, some bassa stole our money fae the dressing room, that is except me as mine was in my socks lol.

     

     

    More than a few Bankie lhads in our class and from all the parishes I mentioned but only one fae St Eunans and that was wee Danny Urquhart who was a nice wee gentle boy, think his mother was French.

     

     

    Cannae believe some of the stuff that’s stuck in my mind lol.

    Totally appreciate your offer the other week, funnily enough when my mum & dad were still with us we didn’t have a pot to pee in :-) as I explained it’s the time factor if MissGFTB gets the bug we will both be there, still in a debt to that JohnBay character for enticing my daughter to the legends game, I still smile when Broony went off she said “dad we are leaving Scott Brown is the only one I know” Henrik, Bobo, Lubo and many more …. I just smiled and done what I was telt :-)

    DD – so you know Mr K Walker, do you?

     

     

    Had a few sessions with him – in fact was with him in Seville – he’s one of my brother’s best pals. Also know his other brother J. Both great guys / lovely family.

     

     

    Met Andy only once – likes to say things with a great and arrogant certainty – often holds to view just to be different. And such a dulllll voice…

  9. CORKCELT , that was tongue in cheek, now ive tried to make friends with delaney but to no avail help corkcelt.

  10. From what I have seen of the league this season there are three clubs, Us, Hibs and Killie that actually try against the hun, how sad is that, had Killie not had Steve Clarke as their coach it would be two, even sadder.

     

    The huns are a bottom feeder team, on all levels, no way on a level playing field and against teams that actually try to compete would they be near the top six.

    Poor? Poor?

     

    You think you were poor?

     

    You don’t know the meaning of the word.

     

    Why, when I was a wee bhoy, we were so poor, at Christmas time half the windows on our advent calendar were boarded up :-)

    My mum was a cleaner / dinner lady at my high school I loved pit the chairs on the desk to help her clean … I ended up giving my fellow pupils grief if the stick their chewing gum under the desk :-)

     

     

    By the way BigShuggy from here & John Cushley were great teachers and probably both scared of my mum, they were terrific and thought the world of my mum :-)

    The old big house had been St Peters seminary. I remember going there for games against St Joseph.

     

     

    When I played for St Eunans our strips were goldenish yellow , similar to the old Dundee United colours of the time.

    Chris is known as Boomer. The hardest shot in Scottish fitba. Left pegger but good on his right too. Ambidextrous is a family trait. My sis Jackie has us all comps for Perth. Ian Durrant supplied us Tims fae Clydebank. Good guy.

    *We had a maths teacher at St Pats, great Celtic mhan, travelled home and away, his boy played for a senior team and was playing against us at Parkheid, when asked who he would support he said he only hoped his lad played well. If my memory serves me well it was his tackle on Ian Young that caused the injury that cost Ian his place to Jim Craig, he sad after the game the Bear kicked his erse in the tunnel.

     

     

    I also saw him tearing Danny McGrain a new one at Hampden one October night.

  19. DELANEYS DUNKY hope your nephew does well next saturday, now if you feel that bad about me scroll past my posts, but just to say i am a tim whatever you say, looks like you just dont like me dont worry ive got a dog grooming salon with customers who dont like me as well, delaney i know you have had problems lately, been there done that ,hope you conquer those demons.hh.

  20. TONTINE TIM

     

    Thanks for reminding me of the O.H.R black gravel.

     

    Still got pieces of it in my left a#se cheek.

     

    One thing that i do fondly remember was the games of about 40 a side during playtime.

     

    Still think it’s why Scotland used to produce tanner baw players.

     

    If you didnae have a first touch you got nae touch.

    Mums would do anything to put food on the table eh. Whatever it took.

     

    My mum worked in the Plessey. ( once known as the TCC)

     

    She also delivered and collected the treble chance coupons to bring a bit extra money in.

     

    She took a break from work when we my 3 brother’s and I were all at primary school. She made sure we were well fed going out to school and a dinner ready for us coming in again

     

    She later returned to work when my youngest brother started secondary school.

     

     

    Anyway, I like to write poetry as a hobby. ( not many people knew that! They do now) . Only really send them to my mum though I’ve written a few tailored to friends who have lost loved ones.

     

    Maybe 2 years ago I sent my mum a poem about how lucky my brothers and I were to have her as a mum. It was about us having no holidays or luxuries, but having much more than that, warmth, love etc . You’ll get the picture.

     

     

    I posted it as usual and she called after she’d received it. She told me that if all the poems I’d sent her she’d treasure it above all others. Why? She said she’d always had a deep regret that she’d let us down by going back to work too soon and not being home for us coming in from school.

     

    It made me so glad I’d written it, as I was able to let her dump the guilt she’d harboured for nigh on 40 years. Sums her up though. Always thinking of others.

    Andy is, indeed, a fud !!! (I love that word – always makes me chuckle).

     

     

    Re: KW and my brother – and there is another JMcCormack (not he one who posts here I think) – they are all high-flyers. I sometimes felt a wee bit out of place in their company initially – I’m just a jobbing NHS lackey. However, never once did they do anything to make me feel like that – it was my own issue. I don’t have that problem now – life is too short, and I realised when looking at Wee BGFC, that I must be doing something right!!

     

     

    In fact, I know that I am the luckiest man in the world.

    Just saw the email from CRC/Jobo it seems like I always pick the same team as Hamilton & Weebawbabbity

     

     

    Is this great minds think alike or just fools seldom differ :-)

     

     

    (I would go with fools seldom differ -)

    Big Packy

     

    I haven’t met you but you seem a decent guy. You have 2 little westies Frankie and Benny and generally are friendly with everyone on here.

     

    I have met Delaneys several times and can tell you that he is a decent guy whom I liked being in the company of. I have met him in Dublin Lisbon and Glasgow and enjoyed the experience on each occasion.

     

    I dont know what happened between you 2 and can only presume there was a misunderstanding.

     

    I hope you can both agree to a cyber handshake and move on.

    Celtic have no God given right to win every game they play in,The moans and groans today was pathetic,Celtic aren’t infallible,and I can’t remember any team that has been infallible in the history of Football,but the moaners that come on here and post a lot of crap because we lost a couple of points, it’s classed as a disaster.

     

     

    A Referee gives the opposition player a red card and it more moans,It wasn’t a red card so what we’ve had many red cards given against us, and still they moan, for God sake I wish that people will grow a pair and accept that we were held to a draw, we have increased our lead by one point, accept it,don’t moan about it.

     

     

    I remember in 1960 The Hun had a European tie against Eintracht Frankfurt who gubbed the Hun I think 7-3 and I thought they would win the European Cup just because they had beat the Hun by a big average, I forgot that they would Play the then best team I had ever seen who would thrash then thrash them by the same Margin as Eintracht had smashed the Huns

     

     

    I went to Hampden Park that day and saw the best game I had ever seen,Marvellous players and a Marvellous game of Football, Glad I went to watch that game.

     

    I knew that Hibernian had been in the Europen Cup but forgot that they reached the Semi finals.

     

     

    The bit below will enlighten the younger Generation that Hibs had a good team back in the days. And to reach the Semi’s was a great achievement back in those bygone days.

     

     

    Real Madrid dominated the first five competitions, with the team led by Ferenc Puskás, Alfredo Di Stéfano, Francisco Gento and José Santamaría winning each of the first five competitions relatively comfortably, while this was the case, several other clubs did offer some resistance during the late 1950s, notably from Stade de Reims of France, who reached two finals and several Italian clubs such as Milan and Fiorentina. Hibernian were the first British club to play in the European Cup, reaching the semi-finals of the inaugural tournament in 1955. The English league winners, Chelsea, were denied entry by the Football League’s secretary Alan Hardaker, who believed it was in the best interests of English football and football in general for them not to enter.[4] This era culminated in the famous 1960 European Cup Final, at Hampden Park, Glasgow, Scotland, where Real Madrid obliterated Eintract Frankfurt. in 1967, Celtic became the first British team to win the competition, coming back from 1–0 down after a Sandro Mazzola penalty to beat Internazionale 2–1 in the Estádio Nacional in Lisbon, with goals from Tommy Gemmell and Stevie Chalmers. The team, which became known as the Lisbon Lions, managed by Jock Stein, were unique as they were all born within 30 miles (48 km) of Celtic Park in Glasgow.7–3 in front of BBC and other Eurovision television cameras and a crowd of 127,621. (Hampden Park would go on to achieve the highest attendance for a European club competition match when the European Cup semi-final second leg tie between Celtic and Leeds United was played on 15 April 1970 before a crowd of 136,505. The match was played at Hampden rather than Celtic Park as the huge demand to see the game had been anticipated).

    That became the best game i Had the privilege to be at, and bit’s of it I can still emember,

     

    Thank God.

     

     

    Back to today We are never guaranteed to win every game,it’s a given that we will lose a game now and then,Remember Dundee Utd in 1967 and Hearts this season, We will still win the League by a biggish margin but who cares Goal diiffence would do me.

    As the youngest of five and a total accident as my mum was 43, I never went on holiday with my mum & dad got lobbed to Scarborough witn my mums sister who was better off than us, funnily enough we only had money when my mum was not fit to do stuff, still the biggest compliment in my life she wouldn’t let my two big brothers see her when she was on her way out…. me, she even let me dress her before my sisters, still gutted she never met MissGFTB but totally appreciate everything she gave me :-)

  31. DELANEY,

     

     

    St Eunans primary played in green. I know because I played for them. We played our home games at Kilbowie Park, home of Clydebank Juniors. A full size pitch. I scored a goal in the Singers end.
