Shuffling for spare seats in Lisbon Lions, Mikael’s woes

398

I’m loving the positivity which surrounds season ticket sales at the moment. You can imagine staff at the Ticket Office bouncing into work these days to deal with another new scenario. Today’s news is that a deadline of this Friday has been made for existing season ticket holders to relocate to the newly opened Upper Lisbon Lions section, before the remaining seasons are made available.

There’s now a high probability that Celtic and Hearts will both have waiting lists for season tickets, with Aberdeen not far behind. Even Hibs are felling their own Irish manager effect, as they target 10,000 ticket sales.

Pretty gutted Mikael Lustig retired at half time in Sweden’s game against Ireland yesterday because of a groin injury. Injury has been the story of Mikael’s life over the last couple of years, which will cast a shadow over the rest of his career. Sweden can continue to select him, when fit, but Celtic will need to cater for the reality that he may miss a lot of football going forward.

It’s also unlikely that he’ll attract a transfer (or sail through a medical). With the right levels of rest and preparatory work, he should be able to compete at the top level for another three years at least, but for much of that time Mikael is destined to be a bit part player.

    Watching the Iceland lads and crowd during their Anthem, feeling they were loving every moment and why not. A country with a population the size of Auld Reekie and they qualified for a tournament Scotland has consistently failed to make any impact on.

     

     

     

    The state of our national game is a joke!! We are still paying for Souness and years of never, never largesse buying in from continetnal leagues rather than develop our own has killed off our game for a generation.

     

     

     

    *Only one person to blame and it’s not the beast but a rugby supporting rag and bone man who disnae have a leg tae staun on as far as the ruination of Scottish fitba is concerned.

    Good point mate…

     

     

    I was looking to show how far back the rot set in (pre- Murray) but there is no doubt he upped the ante and kept on, and on, and on!!

     

     

    No action by SFA and silence in the media.

    Was at a Polish house warming party in Clydebank on Saturday. The hosts laid out two tables. One had enough Polish grub for an army. The other table had £500 worth o booze.

     

    I am proud to be an Irish, Polish, Scotsman.

    On a slightly different note.

     

     

     

    Looking at the starting eleven for Iceland. Every surname ends in ‘son’.

     

     

     

    Possibly not unique for them. But a curiosity nevertheless.

    That drop very happy memories for me.

     

    When my grand daughter was suffering with the colic, I used to march up the hallway (lobby for those lucky enough to hail from North Lanarkshire) to get her to sleep.

     

    She’s nearly 10 now. Tempus fugit.

    My grandad was a Polish pilot who worked out of Abbotsinch during WW2, and settled in Paisley after the war. Hiding his nationallity to get a job.

  15. Re Surnames

     

     

    As most of ye know Mac is the Irish for son, and a lot of our names start with Mac sometimes shortened to Mc.

     

     

    Úa is the Irish for Grandson, many Irish were illiterate and when giving their names to the English Authorities the English Clerks understood Ua as O and wrote the names as O’Sullivan etc.

     

    Also the natives gave their names in Irish and the Clerks wrote it down phonetically,

     

    One example is the Irish name Faelán, that was anglicised as Phelan or Whelan depending on the Clerk, I know of a family where when doing the family tree, two brothers were given surnames of Phelan & Whelan and present day first cousins on their Dad’s sides have different surnames.

    My Grandad Delaney from Sligo said the name was of Laney from France. So I have recently found out that I am a Lithuanian, Polish,Irish, Frenchman, born in Scotland. All that matters is my love for Celtic though. :)

     

     

    Hope you and your beautiful family are well.

    Florida is like any other state or country.

     

    If you want to feel really secure in Florida, except during a hurricane, visit the Florida Keys.
