“We’re only here for the party”. Hearts fans taunted us with that on 24 May 2009, the final day of the Premier League season, the day Celtic failed to achieve four titles in a row. Most of those who travelled west that day will be in the stands at Tynecastle on Sunday. They will see a different kind of party.
Chances are, you, like me, don’t have a ticket for the game. There are no tickets to be had for Celtic fans, and unlike 1988, when a few of us paid our way into the Hearts end under similar circumstances, even that will not be possible this time around.
I might not have a ticket myself, but I do have TWO TICKETS for the Celtic end of Tynecastle on Sunday to raffle for Mary’s Meals, courtesy of Celtic sponsor, Intelligent Car Leasing.
You can enter here, for a minimum donation of £5. Please email me, celticquicknews@gmail.com with the word “Party” in the subject line to confirm your donation and entry. And include as many contact details as you think prudent to ensure you hear about your win (it wouldn’t be the first time someone didn’t catch their winning notification until after a game).
We win lots of leagues, but we don’t win them at Tynecastle too often. How sweet it would be to be there to celebrate and congratulate the team.
The good news is the competition is only open for two days, so there isn’t a lot of time to enter. If you donate after 22:00 on Wednesday – thank you – but your entry will not be considered.
13th Annual CQN Golf Open
This year’s CQN Golf Open will take place on Friday 28 July, again at our regular Aberdour haunt. It is always a magnificent Celtic occasion – and always oversubscribed. If you would like to attend, email Taggsybhoy, cqnopen@gmail.com
Beneficiaries of the night will be Walk with Shay and the Celtic FC Foundation, cost for the day’s golf, and evening meal and festivities, is £80, or £45 if you are an evening-only guest.
See you there……
Thanks enormously to Intelligent Car Leasing for their incredible support. What a magnificent organisation to be supporting the club, and our charitable efforts. Two tickets, competition only running two days, money going to Mary’s Meals, fill your boots!

John Clark?
I thought Billy ALWAYS wore 5. Though never on his back for Celtic.
Every day is an ejikayshun on here,right enough.
One surprising thing I read recently was that Billy completed the 90 minutes in every game he played. That’s phenomenal for a player who was rarely away from the sharp end.

John Cushley?

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS,
Thanks. It’s good to be back.

Brendan Rodgers domestic Celtic record:
36 matches, 34 wins, 2 draws.
100 goals scored, 19 goals conceded.
22 clean sheets.
@optaceltic
John Cushley played centre half and presumably was the Number five .
Game was played on a Monday night — I missed my chess club that night .

Correct my friend! Love the old stuff. Now

We had a fair collection of good young centre-halfs back in the early 60s.
John Cushley,John MacNamee,John Kurilla. There might even have been one or two (apart from Billy) not named John!
I’ll leave that leading question for COSYCORNERBHOY to enlighten me.
Again.

Most people of my acquaintance going anywhere near a chessboard on a Monday night are “aff doon the ludj!”

Re Jabba, when Big Hauns gave him the job at Sevco, he interviewed McCoist for Rangers(sic) TV, and Sally claimed Traynor had joined those ‘having a kick at the club’ in articles like that.
Traynor’s reply was that,having since spoken to corporate lawyers and “other legal experts”, he realised he had made a mistake about the club not being a continuation of Rangers, with the subsequent loss of 140 years of history.
Strangely enough, various law lords, Charles Green’s QC, and Lord Bannatyne in the recent Coral’s ‘demotion’ case don’t seem to agree.

There’s a name for that: nocturia. Apparently cutting down on salt intake can reduce it. And there was me thinking it was the Guinness.

Yet to hear / see a Nightjar this year
Lots of things are back -bee eaters / harriers/ warblers /shrikes etc but as yet no -Nightjars
Local media reporting that fisherman have been catching Lionfish (scary things !) — a long way from home and perhaps a sign re how much hotter the Med is

Last beam back I attended was v Dunfermline in the penultimate match of the ‘stop the 10 ‘ season. Remember being gutted when Dunfermline equalised, depriving us of the 3 points we needed to clinch the Title.
However, the magical experience of being at the following, final game, having got a ticket outside the ground just 5 minutes before kick-off, made up a hundredfold for the disappointment that day.

I sleep so deeply that I worry about missing that middle of the night thing .So much so that when I wake about 7.30 ,I have to run while holding what feels like 3 trips worth…
Chess Club was in a church hall in Southpark Venue . I used to prepare for freaking out the old coots by smoking a number while sitting on the wall outside the church . If my luck was in I’d get to see Jack Glass walking a Cocker Spaniel.. I love Chess !!!.

You got some interesting birds (2-legged varity) there. Seen a Hoopoe once in Scotland -must have been lost.
Our local pair of ospreys have arrived back from west Africa to the Loch of the Lowes last week . Plenty of fishing and “bonding ” being done.

When you see all the goals together it’s an impressive collection for a Bhoy in his first season at Celtic. The variety and quality of the finishes, he strikes me as a Bhoy who works very hard at his game.
Larssonesque dare I say:))
Ayr United were the first club to fall victim to the dope fiends.
Reading through the EBT years, had to stop – It’s just soul destroying more than anything.
I wasn’t aware of the fact that Celtic scored 201 goals during season 66/67 until today.
Phenomenal Lions.

Those heading down ‘The Ludge’ of a Monday night are more likely to be using a Ouija board than a chessboard….
