We stand alone

1204

If you live long enough you get to hear or read just about everything. Today some in the old media are telling us Celtic and Rangers (sic) are both chasing a soon-to-be out of contract Manchester United player. The way it used to work is an agent would fly into Glasgow to see Celtic or Rangers, and make sure the other club had an option on the player their rivals were pursuing.

Anyone who thinks Newco can rival Celtic for a footballer had better consult their medication. The rules have all changed, in Glasgow, we stand alone.

Final shout for the ITUC’s 22nd minute Fifa protest tomorrow.

Today’s CQteN raffle winner, of a signed Celtic strip, is John McDonald, from table 36. If it’s the John McDonald I’ve just emailed, congratulations… If not, we’ll find you.

Today is World Down Syndrome Day. For too long those with Down’ have been stigmatised, shown a lack of human respect, or worse. The ‘does he take sugar’ days were not so long ago. World Down Syndrome Day is a about raising awareness and changing our perceptions.

Have to say I’m enjoying the Aberdeen fans’ ‘Peter Pawlett Baby’ campaign. Human League’s ‘Don’t you want me baby’ has flown up the charts on the back of delirious Aberdeen fans, celebrating their position as one of Scotland’s top two. Crazy stuff like this is how football clubs grow.

For all those who have supported Marys’ Meals over recent weeks and months, here’s a cheery video from them, with a little help from Pharrell Williams.

Seville – The Celtic Movement is another cheery wee thing.

“Somewhere around 5am and Glasgow airport is only open for Seville flights and is a sea of green and white. I’ve 80 Euros, my passport, boarding pass and a ticket in my shorts, Celtic top on, no baggage of any description. The happiest queue of all time has formed.”

  1. SOAL,

     

     

    not likely to forget that…..I could be a wee tad naughty here, but as im in a good mood, I thought id conveneiently ignore it.

     

     

    HAIL! HAIL!

  2. My Dear Macjay1….

     

     

    I Don’t Think That Churchill Was Anxious For Ireland To Enter WWII …

     

     

    On The Side Of The Allies….

     

     

    For The Reasons I Stated….

     

    (Apart From Any Other Considerations)

     

     

    Britain Could Not Afford To Send The RAF And A.A. Batteries…..

     

     

    To Protect Irish Cities……

     

     

    From Inevitable German Retaliation…

     

     

    Had Ireland Joined The Conflict….

     

     

    However…..Churchill Did Want Ireland To Grant The Royal Navy Access To The Three’Treaty Ports’ On Irish Soil….

     

     

    As Had Been Enshrined Under The Provisions Of The 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty…..

     

     

    Unfortunately….This Dispensation To Use The Ports Was Scrapped In 1938..

     

     

    As The Prospect Of Another World War Loomed…..

     

     

    And De Valera Decided That He Wouldn’t Be Doing Anything About Auschwitz…..

     

     

    Britain Was Desperate At The Time….

     

     

    As It Was Losing The Battle Of The Atlantic With The U-boat Wolfpacks…

     

     

    And Starvation Loomed…..

     

     

    However,I Reckon That The Germans Would Have Retaliated…..

     

     

    If The Royal Navy Had Been Granted Access To The Treaty Ports….

     

     

    And Would Have Judged It Tantamount To A Declaration Of War By Ireland…

     

     

    I Think Both Britain And Germany Showed Commendable Restraint In Avoiding Entangling Ireland In WWII….

     

     

    In Part Due To Adolf’s Soft Spot For His Irish Auntie Bridget….No Doubt?

     

     

    Of Course Churchill And His General ‘War-Gamed’ Plans To Invade ireland..

     

     

    As They Had Done For Other Countries And Contigencies…..

     

     

    And He Would Have Been Negligent To Have Done Otherwise….
