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.”

Bye.
Headed goals?
There werent many better wee guys, in the air, than Tim Cahill at Everton.
Like Wispy and Henke, he wasn’t the tallest and defenders seemed to underestimate his aerial ability.
The bookies seemed to underestimate him too as a first goalscorer in lots of games…..I didn’t…..and was probably the last time I ever felt that I had the upper hand on the fat man with the Cigar.

Bravo

TinyTim, I just logged on after updating the predictor, so glad I did, that was a great post, thanks for posting that. A mixture of laughter, and a tinge of sadness, that is one of the many things that makes this blog special, the people who populate it, their stories and deeds.

“Or how about how the good old British knew that the ‘holocaust’ was happening due to their capture of the enigma machine and how they kept the fact that they knew that the Nazis were slaughtering Jewish and other sections of the populations of occupied countries a secret in order to stop the Germans from suspecting their codes had been compromised. How many people were sent to the Gas chambers because of this?”
I think your version is far from the truth.
Enigma had nothing to do with your “truth”. By the way, enigma codes were broken by the Polish mathematicians/soldiers.
The truth about Holocaust was reported to Minister of Foreign Affairs Anthony Eden late in 1942 by Polish Jan Karski. In July 1943 Jan Karski reported about Holocaust to Roosvelt. None, the USA or Great Britain did not know about Holocaust, or it’s huge extend before these dates. If I’m not mistaken, the codes of Enigma were broken before war. Another interesting news is that almost 50 percent of secret reports given to the British came from the Poles from all countries in Europe. Close to hundred percent of these secret reports were high quality and important marks and they changed war operations against the Nazis.
Now I’m back to read few previous pages.

Is that right about the Ainu? There’s some sort of caste system in Japan. Are the Ainu the Japanese equivalent of the Hindu untouchables?
Hope this works

I was sitting here almost in tears at first, then literally with tears laughing when I read the comment Irene made re the bath.
Classic!

Tiny Tim
A tremendous post.
Sipsini- wiznae sure. Just remember being shocked at the time- but NOT by the coverage.
Zbyszek- I heard you made a good impression at CQteN…..of Arsene Wenger!! :-D
Have you never thought of doing a Paul67 with your own club? I’m sure there’d be loads of Neganon2ski’s logging on and dishing the board! :-)
Hope U enjoyed your time in the spotlight.
HH
Tiny Tim.
Your sister sounded a proper little character.
Really heart warming story amidst such adversity.
An extraordinary life surrounded by people who loved her.
Cherish her memory and may her soul rest in peace.
tiny tim
Your post brought a tear to the eye, but also made me smile.
Bravo!
God bless auldyin!
HH!!
Tiny Tim…that was wonderful well done. I have a grand nephew who is Downs and he is a great wee character. He has attended an event at Celtic Park and I am proud of how our Club supports Downs Scotland. He went into his school awith the Celtic scarf on after being at the big Barca game and was so proud. Your story epitomises what lovely children Downs are.
Tiny Tim.
That was beautifully put. My uncle who had downs passed away last year and loads of happy memories came flooding back.
He didn’t pay much of a mind to football but he sure loved a curry!
Thanks
TT
