We don’t need no stinkin’ courtesies

1494

Scottish football has afforded defending champions the courtesy of a home game on the first day of the season to allow the league championship flag to be unfurled at the start of the new campaign for as many decades as I remember.

As this has, in effect, become a courtesy to give Celtic a home start to the campaign in as many years as my sons can remember, we’ll be at Tynecastle on the opening day of the season. Flag Day will have to wait.

That said, I like the idea of taking on Hearts away, then our nearest challengers, Aberdeen, at home. Come through this successfully and we will be in excellent shape for the campaign.

The Aberdeen game comes immediately after the final round of European qualifiers, so we have an opportunity to finish August in a real high – if we get the preparatory work done early enough.

Bring it on.  We don’t need no stinkin’ courtesies.

  1. I went to see The Stranglers ‘ao vivo’ in Cascais, on the Lisbon coast, back in ’77.

     

     

    Outdoor gig, unbelievably cheap booze, sunshine, beautiful girls. . . . .

     

     

    Pity they didn’t turn up.

     

     

    Too busy walking on the beaches, maybe.

    Still, the Estadio Nacional never lets you down.

    Half wit now half arsed, cheers for the compliments …. I think the Res12 has been a roaring (Cqn) success and have never doubted the issue you were all campaigning for…. You might know more about everything in the world than I ever will but am perfectly happy being a Celtic fan posting on a Celtic site ….. Half witted or half arsed obviously you are better placed than me …. I still think if Celtic FC open their mouth UEFA will be on them, again hopefully you will let me have my half witted opinion

    GFTB,

     

    Fill yer boots, opinions grounded in ignorance, well enough said eh.

  5. Hey you,

     

     

    Auld Tam……I’m Tom McL…..welcome back ;-))

     

     

    HJ…..that was a heartfelt tribute…..you and yours are in my thoughts….

     

     

    Don’t want to post what I think of the non statement from CFC…..in case I get red-carded…..this silence better be worth my forbearance…..

    RIP Margaret Brannan

     

    May God look after her and may he have ‘ time’ for Kevin also

    Half wit, half arsed now ignorant ?

     

     

    Not a bad hat trick

     

     

    I blame the schools

    Hey,Gerry.

     

     

    Can`t wait for the new season.

     

    Particularly pleased that Brendan seems to be going about his business quietly and carefully.

     

    Apparently out of the malevolent gaze of the S.M.S.M.

     

    Re-arranging the playing staff .Hopefully organising ins and outs.

     

    Cannae wait , masel`.

    Naw, to come away with the half witted, half asred theories ignorance is the fundamental foundation no an addition.

    I’ll tell you this…

     

    No eternal reward will forgive us now

     

    For wasting the dawn.

  11. Delighted – inadequate word – to report that Kevin has been found in Avignon and that the French police have returned him to Susan in their hotel.

     

    You might have this by other means by now from one of us, the family. We don’t know much more at all and we’re not pestering S&K for information. My sister Jane says he’s “safe but not exactly well” but obviously the main thing, indeed the only thing, is that he’s back with her.

     

    As I said on a Tweet, if you are a praying person, convert your prayers for Kevin now into prayers of gratitude!

     

    Long ago this tough evening I lost count of the messages, retweets and Facebook comments I’ve eceived to say nothing of what my brother, sister, nephew and Susan herself received. Thank you also seems inadequate but we mean it! God bless.

  12. SFTB @ 10:40,

     

     

    You’re wrong…..Scots Law & Company Law specifically bars THEMS…..from trading as the club that was liquidated…..the SFA membership issues at the time reinforce this…..

    Greetings and salutations from a very rainy Lane Cove .

     

     

    Thanks be to God.

    Hope all is good with you and all yours, as soon as I see those posts non-Celtic I need to scroll by,

     

    But like your good self I don’t know any Celtic fan who can’t wait for Brendan’s team, Young & old have caught the bug again, that new team has definitely reignited the youngsters, partly our fault for being worked up for the semi-final, don’t let anybody kid you that felt worse than Ross Co, only a liar will tell you differently, different club but same flies & media….. As a Plc am sure Dermott doesn’t mind the exposure to pay Brendan’s wages, it’s the way of the world …. Bills need to be paid, principles cost heehaw

  15. Hoping that Kevin McCarra is found safe & well…..

     

     

    Hate playing catchup….this phone screen is a pain in the ass…..

    Not read back.

     

     

    The NFL will do very well at the Hibees, he will progress a good few of our finest prospects I’m guessing as well. ;))
