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.”

You are spot in with Jack McGinn.
He was one of the last few to visit my dad and on being told of his death he revealed that even at the last he came away from the hospice laughing at my dad’s antics to the end.
A lovely lovely man and as faithful a friend as anyone can ever find.

Mike Mc Curry ?

I can appreciate why you make that suggestion.
I am not shocked that there are a few in here backing McG inlay, and I am also not shocked as to who they are, they really do make a fool of the selfs, CQNewsers backing that man, says little for them, in my opinion.
Ginger is back !!!!
HT, right up til 1450, if you’re running late I can wait.

Most people are disagreeing with the manner in which you attack him.
If you are comfortable with homophobia,then that is fine. And you are at liberty to hold those opinions.
However,when you express such,don’t be surprised to be taken to task for it.
The days are gone when such opinions-and one or two others I’ve seen on here-are acceptable.
I’m back again
Celtic supporters who behave like Huns, dontcha just love ’em!!

If I don’t make it in time I’ll catch you next week mate.
Gibbs off red card. Mistaken identity
17 mins. Played london huns 3 v 0 arsenal .
Gooners down to ten men with wrong player sent off for hand ball .
im sure that red card shouldnt have been shown anyway. the ball wasnt going in. penalty yes. red card no. he didnt stop a goal or goal scoring chance
but getting the wrong player is embarrassing
HT, just got oot the pub early enough, you’ll make it fine:-)

For a minute there when you mentioned local giants,I had a flashback to PETEC’s Gog and Magog thread!
Enjoy yer time aff oot….
Ginger!
Where have you been?
Welcome back.
H.H.
Looked like the ref got the right player at first but the Arsenal players (or just Chamberlain) pushed the blame onto Gibbs, so he changed his mind.
Wenger not having a grand day!
michael owen still saying it was a red card offence
check the rules michael
Wonder if Gibbs was told to ‘take one for the team’

I said goodnight and thank you for everything to Tommy G as he prepared to leave the other night:))
He smiled and said thank you back ,now im nearly 53 and could have fainted with pride to be so close to a Lion.

Just as a matter of technical interest…
If its deliberate hand ball but the ball is not going in the net, is it a red card?
Fitba’ refs, eh?

Was Brian McGinley not the ref who in 1993 with actual Rangers on a 44 match unbeaten run playing at Celtic park after Celtic scored and our players celebrating in front of the Jungle allowed Rangers to kick off right away and start bearing down on goal?
A Match won 2-1 by Celtic in the end.
——–
I was at that game , wasn’t McGinley …. Could have been Syme , although memory is the ref was a bit shorter than Syme.
I thought McGinley was a pretty fair ref over the piece.

…………………………..
It was Dougie Hope of Erskine or his brother. The SFA actually apologised to Celtic for it.
Good afternoon all. Not long now till I visit the ole Gazebo. Hope to see some of you there.

There’s nothing like a song to bring back memories. Listening to Tony Blackburn pick of the pops.
Frank and Nancy Sinatra’s Something stupid from March 67.
I was perched on the back wall of the Celtic end, hanging on with thousands packed and swaying below me. Pre match nerves jangling as that record came on over tannoy. Five minutes later the Celtic and Dukla teams ran out before 75000. It would of my top 3 games ever at CP. A fantastic sight from my vantage point made it even better. The music and memories will live with me forever.

Thanks.
hoopy-do –
If the player deliberately handles the ball with the intention of averting a goal, it is a red card offence. That the ball may or may not have been going wide is irrelevant. The player didn’t handle the ball to avert a goal kick. He thought it was going in and used his hand to ensure it didn’t.
