Best wishes to Neil Lennon is his new role as Hibernian manager. Without wanting to be impolite about Alan Stubbs, Hibs have traded-up in getting a manager of international repute and experience at the highest level of the game.
Neil is a talented coach who got unlikely results across his Celtic career. He’ll bring Hibs up next season and establish a platform to rebuild the club.
Best wishes too to fellow Irishman Anthony Stokes, who left the club yesterday six years after joining from Hibs. The best of Anthony was there for all to see at the Scottish Cup final. He’s still only 27 and, should he find the appetite, he should still have a few good years in the game. His Celtic ‘thing’ finished years ago.
Celtic legend, Charlie Gallagher, will be signing copies of his autobiography at Waterstons, East Kilbride, this Saturday (11th) from 2pm, and 2pm the following Saturday (18th) at Waterstones, Braehead. Get along to see him!
Good luck to all involved in the Green Brigade Anti-discrimination tournament at James McGrory Park on Saturday. If you’re not in East Kilbride, get along.

A quite astonishing report into collusion at loughinisland

” I got lambasted on here having watched his first 45 min v Aberdeen and declared him a dud.”
The dud just signed for a team in Campeonato Serie A. He will be playing against dud teams like Botafogo, Cruzeiro, Santos, Flamengo, Gremio and Corinthians.
For your 13 managers that you assert have the same opinion, there are now 14 managers who have had an alternative view.
There is no doubt that Kazim-Richards can play. But he did not readily fit into this Celtic team. If he had played for Aberdeen you would be viewing him more favourably.

Tip of the iceberg I’m afraid.. Funny how Kingsmill has been in the news quite a lot recently.. Maybe trying to take the sting out of this report.
No matter what anyway no policeman will serve time behind bars, how many years since Cameron made public apology and admission that the paras committed murder on Bloody Sunday… Yet not one day in prison for the guilty.
Stark contrast to republicans who still get locked up with no evidence .. The latest being Tony Taylor.
Nothing but the same old story.. In the 21st century .

No disrespect James, I really do appreciate the link, but it is a sad song & The Tones kinda jazzed it up in that version. As they say one man’s meat is another man’s poison.

Sorry I missed the chat with Corkcelt and others re: ballads a wee while ago.
I’m a fan, too, of sad songs sung properly – in the mood of the story they tell. Nothing worse – in my opinion – than seeing drunk wimmen and men dancing round their handbags and pints, to songs of solemn tragedy.
And I hate the add-ons to Fields of Athenry too.
I love songs like Spancil Hill, Ballad of James Connolly, Dying Rebel, Four Green Fields, Down by the Glenside, The West Awake, etc. – make the hairs on the nape of your neck stand up when done well.

“Funny how Kingsmill has been in the news quite a lot recently.. ”
And another name associated with bread hasn’t.

GeordieM – I just got that “mako” How sad is that?
So there I was, working quietly in my client’s office today thinking hard about how to bullshit my way through my monthly meeting when I became aware of my phone pounding out the dulcet tones of the Dropkick Murphy’s, Fields of Athenry.
Answering the phone thinking it would be Mrs ACGR asking if I preferred carrots or peas with my dinner this evening, I was stopped dead in my tracks, my heart pounding, blood coursing and temples throbbing. No, it wasn’t Mrs ACGR with a veg related dining query.
I recognised the sultry voice immediately. Could it be, could it really be? Yes, it was the unmistakeable voice of the one true goddess of love. The one and only, beauty personified, the delectable tones of Annabel Goldie. The sex queen of a thousand posters, multiple dreams, some of them wet and a number of A&E visits to attend to wrist strains, right and left on multiple occasions, the one true timeless queen of the late night debate.
“Eh Hullo, Hullo. Annabel Goldie here, am I through to the Ecclefechan RSPB”?
“No, my love, my ray of blue sky, my little chipmunk sex kitten, you’re through to your biggest fan. Mr ACGR here, what can I do for you my dear little duckling?
The next part of the conversation was extremely intimate and Annabel insisted I specifically not mention she asked me round for dinner and to play with her puppies. I did ask what kind they were and she said they were 56 double D’s. I guessed it was something akin to 101 Dalmatians so agreed to fix a date when I got back from my upcoming trip to the space station.
Ten minutes later she texted me back to say she’d got a wrong number and all the puppies would be gone by the time I returned from earth orbit.
Alas, it was not to be.
……………………….
The above was brought to you by ACGR productions and was based on a short story by an Irish fantasist.
Film right pending.
ACGR – Aye thats what I thought when I read the “phone call” b/log. Who do you think is paying him?
Aburntoutcase,
Not nearly as sad as me making the pun :D
HH
GeordieM What I liked was the usual punsters piling in wae their best efforts! Love this place at times.

CORKCELT –
Just reading you comments on ballads 10 mins after I was flicking through my copy of Walton’s New Treasury of Irish Songs and Ballads. It has a load of interesting songs including a few by J.M. Crofts and, indeed, “The Hat My father Wore” which was appropriated for nefarious purposes. Interesting collection.
*Originally sung by Cape Bretoner Angus McDonald
But on St Patrick’s Day I love to wear
the hat my father wore.
Oh, it’s old but it’s beautiful,
the best you’ve ever seen,
It has been worn for more than 90 years
in that little isle serene;
From my father’s great ancestors
it descended with a lore,
It’s the relic of old decency,
it’s the hat my father wore.
And what about this classic:
Follow! follow! I will follow Jesus!
Anywhere, everywhere, I will follow on!
Follow! follow! I will follow Jesus!
Everywhere He leads me I will follow on!
Aye so they will, they curse his mother and his successor on earth, they bassas never came up with anything original in their lives.
———————
That’s the one mate. Good point you make. Their “culture” isn’t what you’d call creative
Aburntoutcase,
Nothing beats when davidpolous and bsr are on song.
Pairra geniuses so they ur :)
HH
I will follow Jesus? Are you Petec in disguise? I hope to God you`re not!
ACGR, aye, all well and good, but does she wear a Celtic Onsie?
It’s all that matters.
Of to bed to dream of the dream wummin.

GeordieM – I take it you know them. Nae time for them,masel. Smiley hing.

It’s Wellesley.

Doc – Shudders.
aburntoutcase, no idea pal. Maybe it was me during one of my more lucid moments but I canny remember it.
I do know this though. When I sit on my phone and find someone else taking an unintended call, it’s not usually Hillary Clinton or the fat guy the does the body poppin on u-tube.
But hey, what do I know, maybe the magic hat, now known as the shy hat, or shat for short does indeed have Phil McG on speed dial for some bizarre reason.
Acgr – Thank you for your lucid reply. Cleared a lot of things up for me. I hink. Smiley thing.
Anyhoos – aff to my bed Nytol and bless. x
Doc, no. she wears an outsized black rubble sack. 85 micron grade, so nothing pokes through it.
See you at paradise soon.

Best of luck to Tony Stokes, I sincerely hope his career kicks on from here. I just hope if we come up against him again he doesn’t do what normally happens when we come up against some of our Ex’s. Ala Harald Brattbak, thon samurai Malmo dude last year etc etc.
He’ll always be a Celtic man in my view,……………………………………..same goes for Neil Lennon. Glad to see him back and riling the huns (big and small) before a baw has even been kicked.
Goodnight Celtic men and wummin.

If yer about,another possibility for replacing Sky is
Open Box
Something like £40 then £30 a year.
Worth investigating.
ABU –
Context
I’ve never been a fan of ST’s it stresses incomes. Pay as you go, live within yer means, all that olde skool jargon stays with me because it is True.
Anyway, going to, Hopefully, get one of those newly released ones for me and the wee lad. He put up with all the bile from the Hearts Support in the Celtic family section a good few times when he was a wee yin.
I know he will love watching us Destroy that cheating Scum next season.
Good Luck to Anthony – Go and join Lenny m8.
I think Neil will have Hibs the 2nd best team in Scotland in 3 years, No problemo.
I reckon Neil has humbled himself for the Future.
Never forget it’s our AweX!!!!
Neil was Sensational with the Celtic youngsters, that in part, got him the gig, he made a mistake latterly as the Boss of the Hoops. FFS I’m the Biggest Sinner ever ever ever.
Glasgow and Edinburgh is Green and White.
Do I detect the beginings of conspiracy theory burn-out creeping in to this blog? I hope so, as it’s reached the very boring stage.
Really, do so many people , businesses and institutions hate us so much? I don’t think they do and I think it shows a lack of confidence and self-esteem, in those who spread it – Let’s stop playing the victim – it’s Sevcoesque, defeatist and divisive.
Yes there are issues to be addressed, but let’s focus on what is important – our new era under Brendan and hopefully our re-birth in Europe.
I believe after a positive Supreme Court verdict, certain things like player registration and financial doping will take on a life of their own – positions and arguments will be easier to make with the strength of the law behind us.
Let not the criminality and shenanigans at Ibrox and Hampden detract and deflect us from our support and enjoyment of Celtic FC – if we do, they win.
Picture the scene.
London based folk trying to manage the empire (Scotland and Norn Irn).
Spooks hoping all the Rangers cheating stuff floats away on the wind.
And they read every Rangers site, so they realise the danger.
So a chap dressed in tweed, over a good whisky in a Mayfair club, “suggests” that its not really a good idea to publish a certain ad.
Is he right?
