  2. Saint Stivs on

    Early life

     

    McGrory was born at Millburn Street, Garngad, Glasgow. He was the son of Henry McGrory and Catherine Coll, both of whom were Irish Catholic immigrants from Ulster. Henry and Catherine had been married at Saint Baithin’s Church (known locally as ‘the Chapel’) in St. Johnston, a village in The Laggan district in the east of County Donegal, before emigrating to Scotland. Catherine was from the townland of Cavanacaw and Henry was from the townland of Tullyowen, both in St. Johnston, County Donegal. Jimmy’s elder brother was born in St. Johnston before the family left for Glasgow. They lived in Glasgow’s East End on his father’s wages as a gasworks labourer.[1][2]

    THREE of Celtics subs scored in ONE Half Today, i wonder IF that has ever happened before with Celtic ?

     

    HH.

     

    JOTA had the last laugh at those Paisley Tramps.

     

    He took his Goal brilliantly……NUT MEGGING a player while LYING ON HIS BACK !

     

     

    i dont think even the great Charlie Tully ever did that….or did he ?

     

    LOL

    WEDNESDAY 4TH

     

    Fr Murphy was in tonight. I have not felt too bad today, although I notice the energy beginning to drain. But it is quite early yet. I got showered today and had my hair cut, which made me feel quite good. Ten years younger, the boys joke, but I feel twenty years older, the inevitable consequence of eight years of torture and imprisonment.

     

     

    I am abreast with the news and view with utter disgust and anger the Reagan/Thatcher plot. It seems quite clear that they intend to counteract Russian expansionism with imperialist expansionism, to protect their vital interests they say.

     

     

    What they mean is they covet other nations’ resources. They want to steal what they haven’t got and to do so (as the future may unfortunately prove) they will murder oppressed people and deny them their sovereignty as nations. No doubt Mr Haughey will toe the line in Ireland when Thatcher so demands.

     

     

    Noticed a rarity today: jam with the tea, and by the way the Screws are glaring at the food. They seem more in need of it than my good self.

     

     

    THURSDAY 5TH

     

    The Welfare sent for me today to inform me of my father being taken ill to hospital. Tried to get me to crawl for a special visit with my family. I was distressed about my father’s illness but relieved that he has been released from hospital. No matter what, I must continue.

     

     

    I had a threatening toothache today which worried me, but it is gone now.

     

     

    I’ve read Atkins’ statement in the Commons, Mar dheá! (Atkins pledged that the British government would not budge an inch on its intransigent position.) It does not annoy me because my mind was prepared for such things and I know I can expect more of such, right to the bitter end.

     

     

    I came across some verse in Kipling’s short stories; the extracts of verses before the stories are quite good. The one that I thought very good went like this:

     

     

    The earth gave up her dead that tide,

     

     

    Into our camp he came,

     

     

    And said his say, and went his way,

     

     

    And left our hearts aflame.

     

     

    Keep tally on the gun butt score,

     

     

    The vengeance we must take,

     

     

    When God shall bring full reckoning,

     

     

    For our dead comrade’s sake.

     

     

    ‘I hope not,’ said I to myself. But that hope was not even a hope, but a mere figure of speech. I have hope, indeed. All men must have hope and never lose heart. But my hope lies in the ultimate victory for my poor people. Is there any hope greater than that?

     

     

    I’m saying prayers — crawler! (and a last minute one, some would say). But I believe in God, and I’ll be presumptuous and say he and I are getting on well this weather.

     

     

    I can ignore the presence of food staring me straight in the face all the time. But I have this desire for brown wholemeal bread, butter, Dutch cheese and honey. Ha!! It is not damaging me, because, I think, ‘Well, human food can never keep a man alive forever,’ and I console myself with the fact that I’ll get a great feed up above (if I’m worthy).

     

     

    But then I’m struck by this awful thought that they don’t eat food up there. But if there’s something better than brown wholemeal bread, cheese and honey, etcetera, then it can’t be bad.

     

     

    The March winds are getting angry tonight, which reminds me that I’m twenty-seven on Monday. I must go, the road is just beginning, and tomorrow is another day. I am now 62 kgs and, in general, mentally and physically, I feel very good.

    “1in 3 league goals conceded by Celtic have been penalties. Zero goals conceded by Rangers from penalties. I in 40 scored by Celtic have been penalties. 1 in 7 goal scored by Rangers have been penalties”

     

     

    If this is correct it’s absolutely incredible….

  16. Greenpinata on

    And still the only unbeaten team under domestic VAR.

     

     

    Our Grey ( Or Gray to our American Bhoys ) strip should be reserved for beach wear.

     

     

    HH the journey continues.

  18. connaire12 on

    An Tearmann. You are correct my father was from Greencastle. I know the great Jimmy was married in Moville but that is all I really know. In the day when we were in Donegal on holiday, we went to Mass in the Convent Chapel as it was called and it may have been there that the marriage was celebrated. Moville only had a parish church built in the 1960s. My dad always maintained that Ballybrack, half way between Moville and Greencastle on the upper road was the parish church.

     

     

    I do know that they have good records in Moville and at one time a lady who was brought up in Greenock was parish secretary. So it might be an idea to contact Moville to get the exact church.

    D66.

     

     

    Back to back in work on Friday I don’t get a minute to jook away.

     

     

    Ta for asking.

     

     

    Sounds like good laugh had by all.

     

     

    Stevie Chalmers garngad story is immense. His dad a contemporary of mister mcgrory.

     

     

    I will find the hospital story of Stevie and his life saving surgery.

     

     

    The rangers supporting doctor saving the future European goalscorer.

     

     

    AT.

     

    Bobby’s words. Never fails to have me feeling sad in an instant and so many memories of events.

     

     

    As I get older I can often reflect on things and have new understand. More perspective. But thatchers government and what they did to the republicans I can never forgive.

     

     

    Sad and bitter was the year of 1981.

     

    Everything we lost and nothing won.

  20. Prestonpans bhoys on

    Sky should pay pundits to be objective not partizan, that’s why Boyd is a comedy act and complete (.)(.)

  21. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    Still very surprised they came at us at 1-1 with only 10 men, must have been a rush of blood to the heads.

  22. yorkbhoy on

    Strips

     

     

    Home – white top with green hoops

     

    Away – green top with white hoops

     

    3rd – bumble bee top as no one has a top that would clash with that

  24. An Dún on

    Can Sky not find a more articulate hun than Boyd ? I genuinely turn off everytime he’s on. Not because he’s a hun. Because he’s an idiot.

  26. An Tearmann on

    Connaire

    St.Stivs.

     

    True,when reflecting back like that.i find they always make me think and pause for a second,still hoping for better.

     

     

    Hailhail to ye :-)

  29. Art of War on

    The non penalty award angered Ange…we saw what happened after his half time talk.

     

     

    Good to see a spread of goals throughout the team.

     

     

    Well played Bhoys.

     

     

    Ps his exchange with CCV when misplaced that pass….magic!

  30. Tom McLaughlin on

    During the SP review on Sky this morning, Kris Boyd said –

     

    It’s obvious Rangers haven’t got a future with Morelos.

     

    😂

  32. fairhill bhoy on

    Great result today and the one thing I picked up on was just how much Walker doesn’t like the village idiot Boyd.The centenary bhoy comes good for a while 🍀

  33. Ron Bacardi on

    Just back home in rural Cumbria – nearest pub a mile away until my village local 500 yard away is refurbished.

     

     

    Home after a grand weekend in Glasgow. Had a wonderful meal out at The Ardnamurchan with my wife on Friday night and my big brother made it from Clydebank to meet us on Saturday lunch time..

     

     

    Best of all I went to the Old Shipbank on Friday lunchtime and met some of the Shipwrecks. A grand bunch of lads of mature age. I was probably a bit quiet in such illustrious company but will do better next time.

     

     

    Congrats to Big Jimmy on his new jacket and trousers. Hope the shoes arrive soon.

  36. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Both Celtic and Manchester United won the league cup last weekend.

     

     

    That incredible high is inevitably followed by a draining emotional sag.

     

     

    Picking yourself up after just a few days to find the energy to win a big game a week later must be unbelievably difficult.

     

     

    Man United were off it and got hammered.

     

     

    Celtic were a bit off it but found a way.

     

     

    Well done Ange and the Bhoys.

  37. Saint Stivs on

    Thomas Chalmers btw.

    Stevie Chalmers: The man who survived tuberculosis against all odds – thanks to Rangers fan

     

     

    Stevie Chalmers, the scorer of Celtic’s most important goal, had a gift for upsetting the odds.

     

     

    His survival was hailed as a “triumph of modern medicine” and he went on to fulfil his dream of playing for Celtic, scoring 231 goals and winning 15 trophies.

     

     

    Born Thomas Stephen Chalmers on Boxing Day 1935, the youngest of five siblings was introduced to football during his early years in Glasgow’s east end.

     

     

    Chalmers would head the ball against the wall of an air raid shelter and practise with his father David, a factory worker who formerly played for Clydebank alongside Celtic’s record goalscorer, Jimmy McGrory.

  40. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    A few of my takeaways from today.

     

     

    Robinson caught on camera shouting “everything slower” to his player in first half.

     

     

    No ball boys.

     

     

    Taking AT LEAST 30 seconds to restart after every foul, throw in, goal kick.

     

     

    Old tactics.

     

     

    That simply no longer work because of the pressure ethos.

     

     

    Imagine doing so many things right and losing 5-1.

     

     

    There are no answers.

     

     

    BTW – was glad it was Dunne who was sent off.

     

     

    A never-has-been who fancies himself.

     

     

    Struts about like a peacock against us and routinely raises his hands to Celtic players unpunished.

    It was a pleasure to meet you. Yer a lovely fella and next time we meet David66 will be talking English, Brian and Jimmy won’t be telling hellish jokes and I’ll be reasonably sober. Well, maybe not. 🤔
