I listen to Tom English quite a lot and I can assure you he has no good words for our Club, his tone changes when it’s about rugby, and I think he is quite knowledgeable in that subject, and for the abuse his fellow Irishman has suffered (Neil Francis) I have yet to read or hear a word of support or maybe he thinks Neil brings in himself ?

Keep talking to someone sir.

St. Ambrose moved from Blairhill?
GERRYFAETHEBRIG gerry last word on the schools debate did you see that banner on saturday .coatbridge loyal something or other i just remember clifton high school and coatbridge high school to be the only proddy schools.
Last season when Brendan was barely in the door, Tom English kept telling us Brendan couldn’t wait to get back to the EPL. He hasn’t a clue.
Neil Francis on Willie Duggan – I was 2 years behind Willie in school – a true legend

Yesterday was the first time I’ve ever witnessed, first hand, us winning at the bigot dome. Granted I’m a infrequent visitor there. What struck me most was the utter disrepair of the stadia, honestly the place needs a major makeover. The toilets eg had no handles or locks, seats missing in cubicles and the one I used had no way of flushing. Just as well I wasn’t needing a no 2.
I work in construction and what I saw reminded me of a job I was involved in yrs ago. A company wanted to put on a series of events in a derelict/run down building. We were brought in as one of our directors was a mate of one of the guys running the event. They had a budget of £20000 and we were basically told to make the place look presentable and ensure the fire brigade gave it a safety certificate.
The ceiling was in a bit of a state so we skimmed it with a finishing coat of plaster then painted it. They got their certificate and several events were held that were by all accounts sell outs making the guys that put them on a few £££’s. We heard later that the ceiling came down about 1hr after the last performance. The subsequent engineers report blamed us as the extra weight of the plaster had been to great on the “cracked and unstable” original plaster work.
I seriously hope that there is not something similar waiting to happen at the bigot dome but guys the place is on it’s last legs, how they manage to get a safety certificate is beyond me.
Not sure why Andy Walker seems as bitter. Maybe he feels that he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves for being top goal scorer in the centenary season.
Nonetheless I don’t know any Celtic fan now who remembers him for that, they just note his negative comments and see him as a soup taker.

Tom English was born a West Brit, and he’ll die a West Brit. Anything else said about him is subterfuge.

St Ambrose has taken over espieside (the fitba parks are gone) my two young season ticket holding nieces are attending an amazing school, only happened in last couple of years the facilities are amazing, the old site is a car park for Blairhill station with council houses being built, the council had to sell half the ground to Scotrail so they could afford to build houses
Big Packy
My company yesterday pointed out the Coatbridge Bears flag, Segton at the fountain or Carsons in the Whifllett that’s their max…. their hatefest parades are always in Costbrig but I know them all and they know their club is defunct their hatred is all they have…..FACT
bendigo – he was a genius ‘ training takes the edge off my performance’ – brilliant
Griff takes the corners for 2 reasons.
1) He can deliver the corner better than any others in the team, thereby improving the chances of something good accruing from it.
2) It is good practice for his free kicks – which BTW have been poor ever since he scored two for Scotland.

Snap….
I always wondered why wee Walker had so much disdain for the team that made him
Maybe he was a Bolton FC fan all along

Cheers dude. I’ve not been over that was for a while – last time visiting my uncle in Corsewall St. couple of years ago. Usually just make it to Shawhead to see my mammy. Not this week though – Lourdes beckons for her… :-))
Supersuttion 8.40pm
He takes a great corner but (just me) I would prefer my goal sniffer in the 6yd box tucking any half chances away
(But LG’s corners are immense)
EDDIEINKIRKMICHAEL on 24TH SEPTEMBER 2017 8:34 PM
It’s an absolute dump. When we went back there on Hogmanay last year i couldn’t believe the state of the place.

Keep it lit mate.
Through experience, I’ve learned to keep my dark secrets,…..secret.
There are plenty of excellent folk on here, but, there also some elephants in the room as well, if ye get ma drift.
Always be wary of Greeks bearing gifts. Good luck.

If nothing else Lourdes will hopefully give your mum a bit of comfort
Corsewall Street ????
The phone box at Dunrobin was my home number before mobiles ,,,, my family were 71 Corsewall Street before we got a bigger house in Bothwell Place (across from the top shop) my sisters, step daughter & nephew all live in that street
There are few things as pathetic as Celtic fans pouring over ex Celts for comments they make on punditry. Get a life, or away and follow the Der Newco Huns. Either way give the rest of us all peace.
They’ve taken the Queens shilling. If you have an ounce of self respect, dont mention their names again.

Not sure why Andy Walker seems as bitter.
##
I reckon he resents the fact that he was one of the last generation of players who missed out on the big money.
Also his middle class background marks him out as different to most footballers so perhaps on a different wave length to most of the fans.
Whatever it is, he comes across as a bit of a miserablist.
Having said that he seems to be very supportive of Cesar, so he can’t be all bad.
Great Performance yesterday.
I still love the occasion of a Glasgow Derby but it’s so different in so many ways from the Old Firm matches.
This latest one highlighted that fact. You got the feeling that the players were saving themselves for Wednesday.
No doubt the Sevco Rangers Plaers were up for it. We still won at a canter, their fans that I spoke to know it so well, if anything they seemed to be more disheartened than the 5-1 Results.
They could see them as blips during “reconstruction”, but reality is hitting home. We can play well within ourselves but still approach the game in a professional manner (Griff excepted;))))) and win with ease @ Ibrox.
Looking forward to Anderlecht, it will be a real test of where we are.
Hail Hail

If you were in The Priory yesterday I’ll probably know some guys you know.
Most of the guys I know now don’t go there because of what happened with the previous landlord.
Parkville has probably became the default pub although apart from the Stonefield most pubs in Blantir are Tim pubs.
Kev J 8.47pm
Bumpedi into one my my mates yesterday who was off to Ibrox to watch Celtic ….. he got 8 tickets in the ballot at £50 @ pop and said he could have punted 10 times that…. he has no clue about Res12 or cares not a joy (his words) he is just interested in Celtic
Sometimes it’s as simple as that

LOL!! Well if you hang about the Knights club you may know my uncle. He must have been practically your next door neighbour. He’s been there about 40 years. Small world – but wouldn;t want to paint it!
:-))
Gutenberg 8.51pm
Spot on
It was discussed about (JW( and seemingly yesterday was the first some of the regiulars had been back in…. am not into the politics when invited over I just go with the flow…. about 25yrs ago I attended the Commercial as well as the Parkvulle and even Craig’s :-)
Natknow
At a guess your uncle might stay in Kelso Quadrant and surname F ?
If it’s the same I know his grandson young Faldo very well…. canny think of any other Knights in the street :-)

When I say your neighbour – I mean you must’ve lived practically next door or across the road in Coresewall St.! He’s at no. 70-something. :-)))
He was certainly in the Knights – not sure if he still is but that’s where he does his socialising. :-)
Natknow
No probs
71 Corsewall street is four in a block with nothing across the road, my old man Mick Shields wasn’t a lover of the knights he said “they think they are better than us, just like the Huns” ma Da didn’t say much but what he did say I took it in…. for the record he never bad mouthed my two big brothers but he never tired saying I was a cheeky wee shoite with far too much to say …..
When he passed in January 2nd 1995 it was my hand he held not his two brilliant older sons :-)

Think my unc. might have been other side of the road – terraced house might have been 70? Canny mind his addy. For various reasons I’m not sure he lasted long as a Knight….! LOL!!
Fast and precise highlights

Well played Number 7 ;))
Just back from the installation in the Duomo, Milano. Wonderful occasion. Thanks to all who offered prayers. Buona notte.
Connaire12 9.32pm
Pretty special stuff
All the very best
Interesting discussion about Griffs taking corner due to his delivery. We should get The bhoy Celtic by numbers to analyse the stats, I would be surprised if our score rate at corners is greater than 5%
