Plucky green and gold tribute act

820

Last night when Neil Lennon told BBC Radio Scotland that Norwich’s second offer for Gary Hooper was “not as high as £6m” and that despite reports, the club had not tabled a fresh contract offer to the player, you would be forgiven for thinking the entire transfer saga was a product of fantasy.

Neil also confirmed Gary’s contract offer from Celtic is due to expire on 1 February, when I understand the player’s current representation deal also expires.

None of this counts where it really matters.  Gary continues to perform like a player on top of this game.  St Mirren next, then he can start the countdown to Juventus.  Put the Italians in their place and he will attract attention from more than a plucky green and gold tribute act.

A corner of Glasgow stood still today to bid farewell to Sean Fallon.  Sean’s 19 grandchildren delivered touching bidding prayers while son Sean recounted many of the times and habits which shaped his father’s life.  It was a fitting tribute to such a great life, marked by sincere and loving words from Sir Alex Ferguson.

    Oh what a tangled web they weaved to protect the cheats by deceitful ways.

    Great post,you will be glad to get that off your chest.HH

  4. I’m sorry Tallybhoy I missed your post, thank you for your welcome. The other half is Irish so you can imagine I’m reknown for my calm and placid nature. I love this blog and witnessing him trying to do his best to drag it way down to his level is an act in vain but he really upset that old calm and placid nature I’m reknowned for!

    Oh and thank you buddy :-)

  7. Giovanni Trapattoni’s elder sister was buried yesterday, after passing away last week at the age of 83.

     

     

    She was a nun who took holy orders when she was 20.

     

     

    HH!!

  8. Good evening friends.

     

     

    Can’t remember the last time I attended 4 Celtic games in 12 days but, if God spares me, that’s what I’ll accomplish next Wednesday.

     

     

    Hope we keep up the 4 goals a game ratio.

    So according to Keevins spl/sfl have come up with a cunning plan to appease the huns,surprise surprise.We won’t let this happen,no f****g way.

    You’re delusional ya mad man!

     

     

    Now I’m putting it down to a combination of the altitude of your flight north or the texture of your steak! :-)

    Regan also chickened out of an investigation into the bigoted chanting at Ibrox last February and passed it on to the SPL. Their “investigation” still hasn’t been completed almost one year later.

  12. Sorry boys I usually post the twitter names.

     

     

    Those article were from TicV67.

     

     

    If only I could post stuff like that lol.

    The blog seems more than a bit tetchy at the moment – it seems cyclical imo – any theories anyone

     

     

    May be to do with the CQN server being one hour in advance.

     

    He says at 20:43 according to my clock……

  14. What is this ‘cunning plan’ the SPL/SFA/SFL are hatching?

     

     

    2 divisions of 20 and 22 clubs perhaps, in the hope that the huns win promotion next season and will therefore be back in the top flight by 2015?

     

     

    Aye, right!

     

     

    HH!!

  15. Evening all. Just watched the first half of last night’s game. Someone said earlier that we were even better than we were on Saturday and that was the best we’ve played at home this season. I have to agree.

     

     

    I think the difference is Hooper. I never thought I would say this but I think we have a better centre forward than the late great Joe McBride. Hooper, to me, contributes more to the team, e.g.his passing is excellent.

     

     

    Like with Joe in the team, we all expect Hooper to score every time he takes the field. That gives the team confidence and it is oozing just now.

     

     

    At times last season, I felt we were on the verge of being a good team. We might even qualify for the Champions League group phase. Well, we’ve gone way, way beyond that. We’re now, not entirely jokingly, talking of getting to Wembley.

     

     

    Who’s to say we won’t. We’ve already surpassed my wildest dreams. Everything from here on in will be a bonus.

     

     

    What a time to be a Celtic supporter.

  16. HT I’ve always liked you particularly since i saw your on the ball chin skills! If you’re ever in Partick of a Friday, I’m certain a fair few of my swally friends would disagree with you about the politeness etc, an old viper in heat is more apt when it comes to the pub discussions I’m told.

     

     

    Philbhoy I’m really sorry about your Mum, you must miss her very much. Mine passed away years ago too and I still miss her. Thanks for the welcome Phil

  20. Henrik1, great stuff, even if it wasn’t your own. This blog is a GREAT source for all in Timland to share thoughts and info!

     

     

    Senga, may I add my welcome to you (and there is NO suspicion of hunitis in your initial comments). My own approach to those you originally referred to is to speed up my reading-back by totally ignoring their posts, but …. of course I therefore missed their bile and couldn’t comment on the bad taste in view.

     

     

    By the way, you’re not from Hamilton originally are you? Went to school with a Senga at Holy Cross quite a ‘wee’ while back.

  21. Thanks Doc, HT’s a teacher I believe. I come from a family of teachers, my partner is a teacher, They Are Always Right in that teachery dogmatic way! Enjoy your stay in Shetland and I hope your liver survives, i hear it’s some place for the swallying sessions. Enjoy your evening Doc

  22. Personal info, over an open blog, given the activity of the Sleekits……..????

     

     

    Lads, take care. Please.

    I found out recently that there was a direct boat from Sligo town to Whiteinch in years gone by. It may explain some of the Sligo roots of the club and definitely explains how my family ended up there.

     

    This may be well known but I was quite surprised ….. Sligo to Whiteinch, direct sailing. Don’t think it had one of them faux surfing slides though.
