I know when you begin to dominate a championship that when another team eventually lift the trophy it can seem like an intolerable failure; compare our distress in 2009 to our resolve to do better after the final home game in 1996. Time adds perspective to our triumphs. As does not being there and seeing photos of the presentation hours after the event.
These are special times, enjoy them.
Many thanks to the Columba Club in Blantyre for Friday night’s Question and Answer event, and to the irrepressible Phil Agnew, who organised the event. I was delighted to share a stage with Paul McConville and Phil Mac Giolla Bhain. Great to see so many CQN’ers there too, my only regret is that I didn’t get a chance to catch up with everyone. With supporters like those in Blantyre on Friday night, we’re in good hands.
Remember to buy Heart of a Lion, Willie Wallace’s magnificent autobiography, available below.

Is this book of brilliant things – don’t remember it like this at all – could have been a twelve inch me friend had though
Phyllis, What attracted my attention was you said something like ” Which of us wouldn’t have taken the soup to feed our starving children” and whilst normally I agree with those sentiments the reality is that the vast majority didn’t, so I just thought that was worth mentioning.. Like many phrases the dramatic meaning has been watered down and now its just a general term for a turncoat. E.G. Many people use the phrase as ” A Rule of Thumb” not realising that the origin of the phrase came from an actual Statute Law, that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick thicker then his thumb.If the stick was equal or thinner then his thumb he was legally entitled to whack her to his heart’s content.
adi
survive in what way?
mighty tim
it,s not really an argument , the wife was at the Aberdeen game ( 4/3 ) so she gets why I want to be there .might even get her a s/t make it all the more special.
thanks for the offer

Pujol
ok your unsacked..where’s maley then??mmm hehe h.h
CAPS LOCK doh
Goldstar,
Funny old world indeed. Me and my mate (both in green stuff) had been to the game but our other mate, unbeknown to us, was kicking his heels in central Glasgow waiting for his train up to Fort William, as he was travelling up from Bristol. Knowing that the game was finished he took a chance, came over to Babbity’s, looked in the window and there we were. I was actually texting him when he started knocking the window. Another warm wee tale from a lovely day with fellow Tims. And I still don’t understand why I didn’t have a hangover!
Goldstar,
meant to say I was the handsome, silver-haired devil with the gwinness always at my hand.
emeraldbee- Ha ha, good timing indeed from you mate.
That description would fit just about every other male in Babbity’s, and some of the women too!
Hope to see you again some time in there soon.
Smashy…..hearing Primark are dain a nice wee line in checkered trousers…

Big john refused my offer of a brandy shandy on friday night ;)

TBJ
I was keeping an eye on his consumption..

Smashy…….hearing Primark are also dain a nice wee line in tartan bunnets and hip flasks…
Off topic,read a while ago,someone mentioned the Grange pub up the Gallowgate,i used to frequent it often in the 80s.remember being in the lounge before a huns game.it was perfect,a concrete shell with a dustbin in the middle as an ashtray,Iwould have been amazed if the door opened and a fag paper could have forced its way in.Anyways can anyone recall the boozer just up the road/was it the Camalache or am I halacutinating due to Stella? Been to some great Celtic Drinking holes all over the planet but have to say the Grange seems to remain freshest and madest in my beffudled memory.

Just read that Fiorentina club President bought back the club crest after it was banned from using it after administration/liquidation for 2.5m Euros.

For what it’s worth, I am in complete agreement with Corkcelt. If it were me, I would not take the soup. But I would steal the soup, or any other food I could lay hands on to feed my children.
My justification is that it would be by far the lesser of two evils and that the ethical principle of double effect would apply.
Hearing the guns are firmly trained on Minty this week,not before time.
Cannot stand Pardew
We are a very big club.
Win something and thank you for Big Fraser.
Celtic’s third goal yesterday was a thing of beauty…
Starry, it was, but I have to say I enjoyed the 4th. Elbows Wright roond ye!
Bada
I just hope they are loaded with live ammo and not like the guns from the SMSM which are loaded with with blanks.

Heard a rumour you were showing people the door the other night.
Any truth?
Any internet bampots going to Vegas this year?
weefrathetim-too true my friend,if it wasn’t for CQN ,Phil,Paul Mc Conville ,RTC ,AT and a few others,we would still be the rhubarb in the corner.HH
Agree about Lustig, he wanted to make his point. Wright should be looking at a lengthy ban. Coward.
googybhoy ♥ Celtic
Where in Blantyre?? That’s typical for me getting the blame and I’m no even in the country!!
