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.”

Would I be too cynical to think there might be a few Dundee United bookings tonight and in the next few games so they have a few key players suspended for the semi-final…..?

Does anybody know of a celt that could jump as well/high as larsson for a header in the box ?
…………….
Jimmy McGrory who scored a large number of his circa 550 odd goals with his head, he could leap like a gazelle.
Good Celtic question HH
There has been a void left with them dying but I much prefer an honest competition. I’ll be there tomorrow and as long as I am capable I’ll always be there. Sure the atmosphere is flat but not as flat as it was when they stole and bought their nine. I think our average hard core home gate is late twenties. I understand the GB is back so I’m looking forward to that and as for the standing areas bring em on but fill then with the GB. I can’t wait. HH.
pfayr-no bother amigo, an invite to The Brazen Heid beckoned….:))

Tin hat on here……
Willie Wallace was better in the air than Henrik Larsson?
Hmmmm…….not much in it I would say
Strange lot of folk on here pretending to be Celtic supporters. They even have the gall to come on and demand the return of Keevins. Long may he languish in the hun-world he promotes. I wish our Board would ban the likes of Radio Scotland too. It might (and I did say MIGHT) make them give us a fair crack of the whip, instead of having to put up with the bigots and dimwits who populate it at the moment.
BT if she pays it in the first 14 days she will only pay half the 60 quid. I got on a few weeks back then topped it up by 105 quid a 3 points for running red light.

If anyone has half an hour to spare and is interested in Mary’s meals, have a look at child 31 on you tube.
One of the most moving films I have ever seen.
Further to the poster who highlighted all the sh#t that thems have got away with….is it now ok to tap a player from another club?
Not quite the same but remember when Celtic got hammered for tapping up TB (RIP)? Was the fine not £150,000? Where did the monies go for that infraction?
Macheda?
Ma Arse!

Irene Ireland Watt born 29/10/52. Deceased 27/05/10
Irene was my oldest sister.She was a Downs syndrome baby.
I use the term baby for although she was referred to as Auldyin in our house ,she was just as frequently referred to as The Bairn.
It wasn’t a slight it was a term of endearment.
Her wee brother introduced her to The Celtic ,putting it mildly ,she was Celtic daft.
She had a laugh that was the most joyous cackle that you could imagine,It was highly infectious,on dozens of occasions she would have a room full of people laughing till they cried,the only reason for the laughter being Irene’s own laughter.
When excited she would swear,the swearing could come in good temper or in bad.
She had several saying’s that were associated to her amongst family and friends.
Chief amongst them “Aye,that’ll be right” and ” No yer no,I’m the boss”
She loved the Alexander brothers ,Jimmy Shand ,but her special favourite was Daniel O’Donnell.
She would make a hall greet when she sung I’m nobody’s child,which was her party piece.
She loved being the centre of attention.My Mum & Dad ,and my other big sister used to take her everywhere.
She loved going to Denbeath bowling club,where she would jive till she exhausted the many dance partners who we’re always kind to her.
She liked a wee vodka and a glass of sparkling white wine, more often that not it was just lemonade or babycham,but she never realised.
She would have be fed lemonade all night then ,tell people that she was drunk.
She was the bowling club dominoes champion twice.
Won fairly and squarely,my Mum & Dad loved that.
When she won she was more triumphalist that Iain Paisley on an orange parade.
She also loved a game of cards.
I would regularly cheat her ,and she would still beat me.
She loved to sing so much ,my Mum & Dad bought her a karaoke machine for her bedroom.
Most afternoons another Celtic daft pal of Irene and my parents would come to the house,have lunch and then spend the afternoon singing Over & Over and it’s a Grand Old Team to play for.
How my maw and paw put up with it used to amaze me.
Irene was 4’6″ in her stocking soles,she had one breast ,and nine toes.
Not a day in life passed when she wasn’t checking the teletext to see where Celtic were in the league table.
If we were in front she would say ” they’ll no catch us,will they Andrew?”
If we were behind them it would be ,” they’ll slip up ,we’ll catch them?”
I would regularly wind her up ,by saying that we wouldn’t catch them,my dad would butt in ” for Christ’s sake stop winding her up.”
I can remember her playing pauldies in the street ,Kirby,doublers with a wee tennis ball against the gable end of our house.
She would often have to play on her own ,as she slowed the game down for the other kids.
She would stand on the sidelines desperate for an invite to play.
An invite that most often never came.
Kids can be cruel.
I can remember my other big sister getting in fights ,when other kids taunted her.
Fatty Tomati Mungo,Fatty Tomati,Mungo.
I still hate that word.
My Mum was devastated when they discovered Irene was downs.
My Mum has lost her first born son,aged 6 weeks ,then had 2 miscarriages ,and then had Irene.
She was a strong woman.I still feel her love 14 years after she died.
There was an orange parade outside our house in Buckhaven and Irene couldn’t cross the road,my Mum took her by the hand and broke through the bands of Orangemen to get her on her way.
As a child she was regularly taunted ,my Mum would send me out to fetch her home for our tea.
I would dread the taunting.
She was warm ,loving ,happy ,joyful ,and great company.
She would talk to complete strangers ,was continually on a diet , and would tell everyone that she was getting married.
She never new a boyfriend ,was never in love,was never kissed in a sexual way.
She loved and was loved by all that new her.
Her one and only Celtic match was the day we won the league in our centenary season against Dundee at Celtic Park.
We have such wonderful memories of her.
Our house was like The Waltons.
She would shout downstairs to my Parents.
” Night Mum ,Night Dad ”
They would holler back ” Night Auldyin”.
When I was about twenty ,I would rush back from watching Celtic ,jump in the bath ,and rush along to Bentleys in Kirkcaldy.
Irene was in my bath one of those nights ,I had to force her out of it .
She wasn’t amused.
The next day we were all sat around the telly watching Bullseye,having our Sunday chicken dinner.
Irene started to cackle ,the whole family started to laugh.
She then said to me ” I don’t know what you’re laughing at,I peed in your bath last night before I got out of it.”
She was something special .
As my Mum would say ” she was specially chosen by God.”
After a few shandies my Dad would sing Daddies little girl to her,another song that brings about great memories .
Night Auldyin.
