If you haven’t had a chance to listen to the podcast I did with the LostBhoys on Celtic in the 1950s (superb production quality, you should check out what they are doing), I took the opportunity to mention the Hibs team of the late forties and early fifties, including the celebrated Famous Five forwards.
They won three league titles and narrowly missed out on another two as they unequivocally dominated Scottish football. They were probably the best team in Europe at that stage, only the lack of a formal European competition denied them recognition. Celtic battened down the hatches against Hibs in the 1953 Coronation Cup final but nothing would be the same again for the Edinburgh club, although reputation got them an invitation to the inaugural European Cup, in which they reached the semi-final in 1956.
We learned today that the last surviving member of the Famous Five, Lawrie Reilly, died, aged 84. Their achievement should be suitably acknowledged (this is not an endorsement of Willie Ormond’s later work, obviously).
The news that Hibs have today bid £200k for a striker is significant. £200k doesn’t buy you much in English football but it is a substantial investment for any club, apart from Celtic. Maybe Hibs long period in the wilderness is coming to an end.
I only caught up today on the Scottish Sun’s online coverage of the arson attack in Salsburgh (alas, not unique in the bus industry), complete with photographs of Celtic supporters and Neil Lennon (all of whom were four hundred miles from the incident). I remember reading a story on rape, robbery and assault in London in The Sun back in the 80s, accompanied by inner-city photos featuring exclusively Afro-Caribbean-Londoners going about their business. Real subtle.
Remember the email Charlotte Fakes produced on negative news stories against ‘other’ clubs being planted? Utterly breath-taking. Scottish football, as it was, and for some, still is, is inherently an unstable influence on Scottish society. We need to take our business elsewhere and I don’t believe any of our top-flight colleagues would object.

TBB,
Your a bit of a boffin on corporate stuff if I remember properly,
Any chance you could give the proposal on page 4 quick once over and advise on anything you see that might be contentious or lead to it being rejected on legal/technical grounds ?
Evening Bhoys , looking for a little bit of advice on a subject of which I know very little. Hopefully some of you Bhoys know more than I do and can point me in the right direction,any help would be greatly appreciated. My Bhoy is looking to lighten my wallet by purchasing at dads expense a desktop gaming pc. He has been looking online at secondhand rigs,which quite frankly makes me a little bit nervous, so I was wondering if any of you Bhoys had any experience of this sort of thing and could pass on any advice to a dad who is totally out of his depth on this one.
Thanks Bhoys
Hail Hail

Traderbhoy,

Squire
I’m happy to chat if you can get my email ….
Share would be welcome
do not care what the MSM or right wing fascists say about our club or our supporters. we have been about since 1888 and we have faced this type of stupidity since day dot. the fact that we refuse to tow the party line is the exact thing they (right wing, unionist) hate. that does not make our views, beliefs or valued wrong, just different.
if, and its a big if, one or two of the bhoys have sung songs of hate towards any individual then they have to look themselves in the mirror, but its hardly fair to blame a whole support.
ironic the people appalled by the alleged singing are marching and signing up and down Britain celebrating and openly rejoice in the death and attempted genocide of Catholic’s, (culture you know) yet the media never cover it, never question it and never challenge it, no that’s ok
timmy just need to stay at home when there out
Over in turkey on holiday had a good blether today with some spurs boys they reckon huddlestone is nailed on for Fulham, but have said their manager is a big fan of hooper, if the price is right they will deal apparently.
Not a sevconian in site, could be interesting around the pool tomorrow right enough if the sun print the story being alluded to earlier.
HH
Can anyone confirm if our support did or did not take part in defamatory chanting regarding Lee Rigby?
I honestly do not think a single fan would indulge in such behaviour without it being challenged by fellow fans!!!
There has also been a fair amount of
talk on the blog regarding some dubious MSM reporting yet again.
I am confident the MSM have upted their game as a big deflection will be needed to ignore the debacle of Sevco!!!
We have all witnessed gross mis-reporting and on occasion a distinct lack of reporting to the benefit of a certain creed, but surely the time has
well and truly came upon our club to challenge the succulent lamb brigade after they attach our support to any negative story whether it be true or false?
Imagine the bridges that could be built between some supporters groups and our board!
Squire.
See post to gohrdybhoy 64..
Email me and ill forward pf email to you.
Thanks canamalar 1 will do.Dontbrattbakkinanger thats more my style none o that fancy dan computer stuff. Thanks Bhoys
The knuckle dragging bigots are at it again so it would appear, trying to demonise the Celtic support.
Unable to compete on a football park, as their zombie incarnation of a club struggles from one financial crisis to the next , they are able to organise and concentrate on the one thing that really unites, rabid hatred of us and everything we stand for .
Undoubtedly, they will be aided by a complicit and similarly minded media.
This wee country sure is a cess Pitt
King vic- looks like the zombies started the rumours around 4 hours before the game started- looks like coordinated bull planned as a smear campaign
Celtic lookin for a playmaker shud go for wee necib for france… shes naw bad lookin either
B-)

I see BT has done the biz.
Suggestion………………
Everyone should open another e mail addy, saves Paul all the hassle, and instead of folk e mailing sending addys to others, you can post your CQN addy on the blog.
Simples really.
HH
BT
Many thanks
You will have mail shortly

Shame, never mind, theres always the Russian womens mud wrestling final on later :)
Hooper in squad for game tomorrow
Stairheedrammy
the best thing to do is refuse to rise to the bate, its bull so why give it oxygen, its just another story depicting celtic as bad, the reality is they are the worst sort of scum on the earth and have nothing but hatred towards anything different from them and when I say them I mean parochial small minded non educated parasites (using the killing of a young man and victims of paedophilia to score points).
Where did the rumour come from that the Sun was running this story.
I was at Brentford. I heard no Rigby songs before, during or after the game. None

tell them zombies started the rumours around 4 hours before the game started and the dead cant be trusted, nor can the semi dead.
p.s. I suspect the PLC will act on any stories ran and will sue any papers that don’t have evidence to back up their claims.
don’t want to get to political but please remind me how many men, woman and children have died at the hands of British shoulders with mass celebration on return from tours?
John O’Neill @ 21.19- well said.
