Respecting the journey

810


This is not a journey!  Respect to the Celtic marketing guys who ran his headline on a story discussing the Champions League qualifying draw, which takes place on 22 July, the same day the players return to training after a short summer lay-off.  You can tell when people enjoy their work.

Last week’s article, ‘We’ve missed them and now we want them back’, referring to the absence of Champions League nights, also had a delicious twist.  That’s all we want back!

It’s been a good news day all round, with Peter Lawwell handing over a £10k cheque to Yorkhill Children’s Charity on your behalf.  The iconic Glasgow children’s hospital closes tomorrow with services moving to the new Royal Hospital for Sick Children.

Delighted also that Celtic received a Platinum Award from the SFA for the standards of their facilities and governance.  We have been awarded by more prestigious bodies but it’s good to be endorsed anyway.

Mike Ashley…….. five counsel to enforce a contract!  It’s like going into a fist fight with a bazooka.  There will be carnage in the weeks to come………..

    Non-football question: Does anyone remember the name of the tapas restaurant in Finnieston that was mentioned a few weeks ago? Going to that area tomorrow with Mrs. CCB. Thanks in advance.

    A comment on deadclub media from another who sees through the “glib and shameless liar”

     

     

     

     

    “In the letter he mentions his father. Why does he feel the need, has he not told us before that his dad was a policeman who didn’t like the football, resented it, and grudged taking him to a game. I can’t remember what audience he was talking to that time, but, which was it”?

    Incredible that it’s 37 years to the day, since the Archie Gemmell wonder goal.

     

     

    Remember, thinking Scotland might just do this…….:-)

    What I cannot understand is that the only one ( of approx12) who was involved in the beating and charged for the attack on Paul McCauley only served 6 of the 12 years the Judge gave him. He showed no remorse and refused to give any information on accomplices. If ever there was a case for no remission until he cooperated with the authorities then this was it.

     

    As you say very very sad.

     

    Listening to the father over the course of this past number of years about how the attack had impacted upon his son and indeed the immediate family would have broken your heart.

    My ‘tipping point’ came the other day when I read that he passed with his family holding his hand.

     

     

    It shouldn’t be. Parents burying their children for no other reason than hatred.

     

     

    Take care Fhriend.

    Just reminded me that I took a Govan Bookie (offering daft odds) for enough money to pay for a 2 weeks holiday in Spain………

     

     

    AG to score

     

    Scotland to win

     

    Scotland to score 3 or more goals

     

    ……….to qualify was the only bet that let me down (otherwise we would have been off to the USA for 2 weeks).

     

     

    Daft Git let me do; singles, doubles, trebles and an acca! :-)

  9. ‘My father wasn’t at all keen on me becoming a Rangers supporter. He was a Glasgow policeman and because of that he resented the whole football scene in Glasgow. He was actually very anti-football.’

     

     

    Or

     

     

    ‘ I have always taken pride in being a Rangers supporter. It is something I inherited from my father who, in turn, inherited the legacy from my grandfather.’

     

     

     

    Who to believe?

     

     

    What, they both come from GSL?

    Paisley Bhoy that post could open up the whole supporter / fan debate. Has auld squinty actually put any money into any version of the huns or is he fibbing about being a supporter……………………?

    UDA were the group involved.

     

    Was a group of friends enjoying a going away barbecue for one of their mates. Just so happened it was in a Nationalist area close to a Loyalist one.

     

    As you say there is something deeply disturbing about parents having to bury their children. Obviously it is not in the natural order of things but given that the circumstances in this particular case were occasioned by an irrational sectarian hatred (as if there is a rational one) then it must make the families burden even harder to cope with.

     

    Keep the faith big mhan.

    In Bavaria the white sausage, Weißwurst, should not be eaten after midday, whereas in Scotland Skwerr can be eaten at any time. This is rather unfortunate because I have just set off the smoke alarm and pissed-off Mrs PMTYH (asleep) who is working in the morning :-(
