I’m sure there are people all over England wondering why their manager is apologising for anti-IRA chants by England fans last night. Someone likely pointed out to Roy Hodgson that his fans were breaking the law in Scotland by doing so, hundreds, if not thousands, could be criminalised this morning.
Their names and addresses are known to the football authorities, the match was televised and the chanting received widespread media coverage. Police Scotland were all over the ground and had the England fans surrounded.
All this took place in front of the First Minister, whose government decided laws against bigotry and sectarianism left them unable to “equalise” fans of all colours, most of whom never chant bigoted or sectarian words.
Alex Salmond left the stage caring nothing that the police have no interest in applying his law on this occasion. It wasn’t designed to criminalise the English, it was to criminalise Celtic fans. If the Offensive Behaviour Act can be flouted in front of the nation, the police and the First Minister, without censure or action, it is an absurd nonsense. The SNP government has refused to debate a review into the Act, never mind repeal it. They are defending the indefensible.

Jimmy Ruffin and “I’ve passed this way before”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tLMH0dJlD4
Probably heard it first on a Motown Classics LP, with sleeve notes by Tony Blackburn, advocating a “quick blast on the knees” when playing the record. Don’t know what he meant, however it’s good album. On blue vinyl, no less.
help please

Today’s favourite goal is from the same season as yesterday (2001/02), when Martin O’Neill’s unstoppable Celtic side were on their way to 2 in a row. The goal is from another match where Celtic blew away the opposition in a single half (following the theme Granny Macs Bhoy and I discussed yesterday). Part of the reason that this goal sticks in my mind (apart from it’s belterness) is that it was scored in my favourite Celtic away strip.
The goal is the first of Celtic’s 4 first half goals against Hibs at Easter Road.
Lubo!! Majestic.

And as a wee bonus, here is another Darren Jackson goal for Geordie Munro; the second goal against Inter Cable Tel ;¬)

Had a great night in the Edinburgh gaelic club after that game at Easter Road. met a few Hibees after the game in The Abbotsford Bar and they said watching Moravcik was a privilege.

Quite an apt song for the blog currently, now that I come to think of it.
Tom, didn’t you know the new rules? You must surely know the first rule of the (CQN in-FIGHTing) club….?
’twas only a joke, one that Hun Skelper picked up on.
Kit..,
I note they divide into three components.
The fans
The club
The owners
Then spend the rest of their time outlining what everyone else but the owners should be doing.
LiviBhoy
It was a privilege for us all, and how we yearn for another like him now!
I think it’s only fair to ask who on CQN works for the Post Office and could be the UFH or Fenian Agent Provocateur behind this outbreak of stamp madness……..
I know one.
Kwality suspect.
Time for a new list me thinks!

That would be a shame.
Jamesgang,
Postman Pat?
Doesn’t get more feenyinny than that :)
Met a zombie last night that I haven’t seen for a few weeks, he said where you up in Aberdeen and I said yes I went, where you one of the guys booing ( which never happened) the minute silence and disrespecting the guys who died in the world wars, I said no trying to tell him it was a couple of guys singing then he hits out with ‘ you’se where shocking if it wasn’t for they hero’s we would all be speaking German ‘ when I started laughing he said what you laughing at and I just said ‘ do German people speak English ‘ the stupid look on his face said it all, what you on about he said, I just left it with think about it.
They are that stupid HH

When Paul is doing maintenance on CQN, he will shut down the server. If I try to open CQN during that time, I will get “Server not responding”. So if you are getting that message, you are trying to open a website or app which is down or not working. Nothing you can do until it comes back up.
And his green n white cat!

My goodness gracious me is this really the Mick O’Malleys that used to be liberally sprinkled with visiting and resident Celtic Supporters?
Where’s the memorabilia…..you are supposed to be home to the Brisbane CSC.
It wouldn’t have happened in my day!!!

bognorbhoy oscar in my thoughts
I got that cheers mate, I still have 3 spares.
If the Celtic Trust represent the ethos of Celtic so much, why do they have such dreadful membership numbers?
Some popular CQN causes don’t resonate at all with the wider Celtic support.
Davidopolous,
Ha. True. :)
There she blows.
Weet weet
There’s plenty you can do till it comes back up.
Knitting is an interesting hobby.

————————
Firstly, how do you know how many members the CT has?
Secondly, what popular CQN causes are you referring to?
“Some popular CQN causes don’t resonate at all with the wider Celtic support.”
Beefy.
How so very true.
I’m still ‘mocked’ over my boycott of hampden.
Saint Stivs –
I’m only going for a few weeks, not 8 years. Thanks for your concern.
So you asked if Macjay had a sponsor or if anyone could vouch for him because you wanted to make sure he wasn’t a robot?
I’m keeping that one to show my grandkids. :-)
thanks again Tom

My friends in Celtic,
McCartyism in action on CQN.
I thought we were a broad church with equality and diversity at our core. It seems that we cannot even apply those principles to fellow tims.
We may not agree all the time, in fact it would be unhealthy to do so but surely if an argument remains within acceptable parameters of the blog then it should not be trashed by personal comments.
Who vets the vetters ?
A well respected poster posted the phrase “Pet Posters” a few days ago. I wonder if he had George Orwell in mind ” All posters are equal, but some are more equal than others”.
HH.
Lol.
He could be mental mickey

you killed a McGuffin… :-))
HH
Is macjay a robot?
Simple Yes or No question – I’m only interested in FACTs, not opinion like what ou get in books and stuff.
And yet no-one on here with the balls to answer….
Geordie, you were right.
HT, figures have been in NTV and other Celtic publications. A couple of thousand members at most. Has their membership grown?
See DavidPolous’ point about signatures for the living wage, most Celtic supporters haven’t signed it. It is a minority cause.
Have a good day everybody.
So warrant issued to our hero by the High court for him bumping Ticketus.
Faces 28 days in jail.
The justice system stinks!
Saint Stivs –
No. That’s Sydney Tim :-)
What happened to the 2nd class stamp money?
No wonder the Royal Mail shares are down!
