Sunshine getting through

885

The sun is shining on Celtic Park as the Easter weekend gets underway, while Celtic face Motherwell tomorrow, who look like they have discovered the limits of Stuart McCall’s managerial abilities this spring.

After some difficult news this week, here’s a ‘Happy Birthday CQN’ message from Wee Oscar, which he recorded last month; an even bigger ray of sunshine than the one beating down on Scotland.

Enjoy the break, if you’re getting one.

    To be fair to Barmy Ferguson, he is doing everything he can to get Blackpool out of the Championship.

    The thought just occurred to me that we have ONLY 7 games till the business end of our CL qualification starts ( that’s based on 5 league games & assumes the first round is straightforward)

     

    Any thoughts on how and when we prepare?

     

    Last year I thought we scraped past both our second and third round opponents, and, an off day in Sweden, or , a flukey goal by Krazagandy, would have left us out.

     

     

    My concern next season is that we lose a couple of players around the World Cup, either to injury or transfer.

     

    In defence, and midfield, assuming we don’t lose VVD or FF, I think we are reasonably well covered, but, upfront, assuming Sammi goes, I just don’t see anyone in our ranks who can regularly score outside the SPFL.

     

    I am sure the manager has his priorities, but mine would be:

     

    – another keeper, even if FF stays

     

    – cut our losses on Balde, Pukki and Boerighter, get Tony Watt back, maybe only for qualifiers, and sign a £4/5 m striker.

    Blackpool must have the worst form in the league

    A guy called Jesus, whether you believe in him as Son of God or not,gets crucified.

     

     

    It then gets called ‘Good Friday’.

     

     

    Can’t think of anything good about someone being barbarically executed in such a manner.

     

     

    Anybody able to explain?

     

    …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

     

     

    It is the day when Christians commemorate Jesus Christ’s crucifixion. So why is it called Good Friday?

     

     

    According to the Bible, the son of God was flogged, ordered to carry the cross on which he would be crucified and then put to death. It’s difficult to see what is “good” about it.

     

     

    Some sources suggest that the day is “good” in that it is holy, or that the phrase is a corruption of “God’s Friday”. However, according to Fiona MacPherson, senior editor at the Oxford English Dictionary, the adjective traditionally “designates a day on (or sometimes a season in) which religious observance is held”. The OED states that “good” in this context refers to “a day or season observed as holy by the church”, hence the greeting “good tide” at Christmas or on Shrove Tuesday. In addition to Good Friday, there is also a less well-known Good Wednesday, namely the Wednesday before Easter.

     

     

    The earliest known use of “guode friday” is found in The South English Legendary, a text from around 1290, according to the dictionary. According to the Baltimore Catechism – the standard US Catholic school text from 1885 to the 1960s, Good Friday is good because Christ “showed His great love for man, and purchased for him every blessing”..

     

     

    A part of BBC News Magazine, Who, What, Why? aims to answer questions behind the headlines. The Catholic Encyclopedia, first published in 1907, states that the term’s origins are not clear. It says some sources see its origins in the term “God’s Friday” or Gottes Freitag, while others maintain that it is from the German Gute Freitag. It notes that the day was called Long Friday by the Anglo-Saxons and is referred to as such in modern Danish.

     

     

    It also says that the day is known as “the Holy and Great Friday” in the Greek liturgy, “Holy Friday” in Romance Languages and Charfreitag (Sorrowful Friday) in German.
