Stand up for the Champions

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.

    3. In Glasgow, yes, in extremis. Although I would be working as hard as possible to get honest work first.

  3. Mincey,

     

     

    Sounds like a plan. I’ll case the joint before you arrive. Think the evening dinner is on the Thursday.

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

  4. 350 million euros spent by PSG in the last two years, they have just clinched the French title by beating Lyon 1-0 in Lyon.

  12. Neil’s words..

     

     

     

    “The problem is, I went to watch Burnley last year to see Jay Rodriguez. He ended up going to Southampton for £7m & he had never played in the Premier League. We just can’t do that. I don’t know what Charlie’s valuation would be. He is a player we like but whether we could afford him is another matter.”- Neil Lennon on Charlie Austin.

    Last chance and I had a couple of run ins, I remember calling him out when he first started posting, he was very scathing about Jim McGuinness, we had words.

     

     

    I asked for help on the blog about changing some Iraqi money, he sorted it for me, for that I am eternally gratefull, but he annoyed the breests of me >}

  15. Charlie Austin was linked in todays papers for £7mill as Rhodes was to expensive at £8mill, not linked with us of course but Hull.

     

     

    Lenny is just mirroring WGSs complaints.

  17. Astonishing day yesterday in Paradise and then onto Babbity’s in Merchant City where the Celtic soirée, was in full swing.

     

     

    Privileged to be in the company of CQN’s finest (including setting free the bears) and their families, and what other club would have former Celtic chairman and directors, chatting with the fans.

     

     

    More than a football club.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  18. Wee Derryghirl is in doors, and I’m allowed out, boring without my best mate.

     

     

    So would some body talk some tic talk?

     

     

    Ps Sannabhoy and MWD looking for ideas please.

    Hearing the guns are firmly trained on Minty this week,not before time.

     

     

    I hope that’s true. It’s long overdue. He’s only had water pistols aimed at him by the laptop loyal up to now.

     

     

    He’s virtually been airbrushed out of their history. Whatever happened to the renaming of Murray Park?

  21. Spent a weekend in Vegas about 10 years ago. Biggest hell hole on the planet. The place is so tacky, trashy and lacking in class I couldn’t wait to get back to my home in Seattle for a shower to wash the smell of the place off me. Wouldn’t go back there under any circumstances. Hell on earth.

  22. Charlie Austin is a big lump with a bit of a touch, like a Holt or Ricky Lambert. I’d say Hooper is a better player than all 3.

    Another shooting in the States. A Mothers day parade was attacked in New Orleans. Lots of injuries but no reports of fatals.

  24. Been to Vegas twice, amazing place, fun is best to describe it without getting into the details.
