We were hurting earlier this year.  Sentiment among the support, the players and the backroom staff was at floor level.  It felt like it was just you and me left.  Not for the first time, that was enough.  A year after 50,000 bought season tickets and did not get to see Celtic, they did so again, even though the world is not ready for many to mingle in just yet (Martin42 included).

Celtic is not our choice, it is us, as indistinguishable from who we are as our own image in the mirror.  Without that pull to support our club, especially when in need, it would have floundered many decades ago.  In the 1950s, Celtic was close to being eclipsed by Hibs, who had the players and recent trophies Celtic did not, with crowds on a par.  The years before 1965 were humbling for a generation some of whom still come to enjoy success like they once never dreamed.

The 1990s were no better.  Made to feel like foreigners in our own land, we looked to Celtic to provide a firm strain of identity.  We hung in there, at times by the skin of our teeth.  Then the new millennium brought glories not seen since Jock Stein’s great era.

We are a club born to raise funds for the needy.  That has been difficult over the last two years, with events precarious to plan and collections needing footfall that was often missing.  It is all the more remarkable that your Foundation broke new records this year, raising more money through it’s Christmas Appeal than ever.  What I see in the discrete and anonymous actions of Celtic fans is humbling.

People who would run a mile from drawing attention to their acts.  Many who clearly have little to give, giving anyway.  Others throwing £20 in a bucket and telling their pals to do the same.  If you ever want to feel humble, spend some quality time with Celtic fans.

Why do they do this?  As I said above, it is indistinguishable from who they are.  They are Celtic and this is what Celtic means.  It is an honour to stand among you.

Take care and have a very Happy Christmas.

    Cricket Quick News

     

     

    how shite is BT’s cricket coverage compared to Sky, with all they pishy camera shots?

     

     

    switched off and back to the NFL

  13. park the bus 442 long ball on

    Imagine anybody believing a single word from any broadcast media source especially Christian’s on Christmas day.

     

    ITV news said “The Pope died today…” said ITV news reading wummin. The next later ITV news bulletin left the editorial team some room to offer an apology to Christian’s on Christmas day, or at least a correction.

     

    But not even on charity associated, Christmas day, could mainstream lying media machine, ITV news, find it in their cold stony hearts, to clarify to worried Catholics in UK, that Pope Francis didn’t die, and is alive and well, nope, no correction, no apology, in effect, no surrender was the cry, from ITV news.

     

    Move along Timmy.

    Also on Christmas Eve, and CoE guru Justin Welby chose this Eve of peace to stigmatize those folk who are merely exercising their human rights, by simply refusing to be bullied into taking a pharmaceutical product the long term effects of which are at this stage unknown, and Justin Welby chose to do a 360° turn, or more like a 33° turn, to stigmatize human beings as being “immoral” for not allowing themselves to be coerced by a concerted group of proven liars, most of them are far worse than just liars. Welby preaches the message of Jesus Christ, then deviates from that message to suit his own narrative, or rather the narrative of the establishment, including The Vatican, who own all of the churches, if Welby practiced what Jesus Christ preached, then Welby wouldn’t be sitting in judgement of folk, he’d be sitting with them, trying to understand their hesitancies, like Jesus sat with the stigmatized lepers, Jesus didn’t ask the lepers if they’d taken a pharmaceutical product, he just saw human beings, something which Welby has woefully failed to do.

     

    You know, I’m at the position were I love Jesus Christ with all my heart, but my head says that “ALL” churches are an add on scam. Jesus Christ was a hated Socialist Revolutionary when the desert apartheid lobbiests, lobbied the Romans to crucify Jesus of Nazareth, because he refused to bend the knee.

     

    The Catholic church stigmatized certain women and coerced them into the Magdalene laundries.

     

    And yet the teachings of Jesus Christ, that this same Church preaches and sermons from, the teachings of Jesus taught us that he forgave Mary Magdalene, telling her witch burners that they’d have to be sin free to throw a single stone at Mary, and none of them could, because all of them were also sinners, and thousands, maybe millions of women were found to be at the mercy of a Church that seemed to be practising anything but what Jesus Christ had preached and taught, and yet this Church stigmatized and coerced women, some of whom were abused to the worst degree imaginable, Jesus Christ’s preachings and lessons were put through the same shredder as a multitude of the sins committed by not just the Catholic church, but “ALL” churches who’s greatest skill seems to be mixing lies with the truth, just as Justin Welby did in 2019 General Election were Welby delayed the publication of his report and findings of the extent of austerity in UK, its consequences, and who has caused all of the austerity driven misery for so many UK citizens. Welby stated that he didn’t want to be seen as interfering politically at GE time, but being the lying deceiver that Welby is, he didn’t publish his austerity report until [after] the GE, which was a sleekit manoeuvre to avoid any public harm to come to Tory election campaign, “ESPECIALLY” as the Tories main opponent was the first political figure in UK, in over 40 years, or possibly ever, to put at the burning importance top of his list, the homeless, the poor, the sick, the in work poverty stricken, the outlawing of billionaires starting with their involvement in football clubs, a manifesto, copied to the letter by Sinn Fein, in their Irish GE in Feb 2020, leading Sinn Fein to their massive increase in the share of the vote which will imho, lead to a Sinn Fein green wash on the island of Ireland at next election, Corbyn tried to “park the bus” as it were to block a winter GE, as Tories didn’t have enough votes in HoC, but but but, once Corbyn publicly announced his plans of free BT internet for ALL UK citizens, then very quickly the plans were put in place to rig the 2019 GE postal votes, and Corbyn’s announcement that if his party won the GE then he’d put £78 billion “directly” so he would know exactly where in dubious Scotland the £78 billion would go straight into the 3 poorest areas in UK which are all in Glasgow, at that very moment, alarm bells went off at the SNP who then caved in, and stabbed Corbyn in the back, and held a “sneaky” meeting between Libdems, SNP, and Greens?, all agreed to give Bojo their votes for a winter GE which I’m sure all of these parties who stabbed Corbyn in the back, were well aware that postal votes were all rigged to keep Corbyn out, and punish every person in UK with a Tory govt with a landslide 80+ majority. These parties, Labour post Corbyn included, SNP, Libdems, Greens, Tories, would vote for the devil himself, just to keep a working class socialist away from power, especially if it was, Corbyn, Galloway, or Williamson. Justin Welby is as authentic as, SNP, Libdems, Greens, Tories, and post Corbyn Labour.

     

    Justin Welby withheld his austerity report because it would’ve helped Corbyn, the only person offering to help the poor, the sick, the fkn 99%, in a political world were he, Jeremy Corbyn, stood alone, against the disgusting UK political swamp creatures, of SNP, Libdems, Greens, Tories, and at that time in 2019, there was 95% of Labour MPs all stabbing Corbyn in the back. Welby is a 100% duplicitous cnut!

     

    Also at that time, ITV decided they’d go along with The Guardian, to publicise in UK a documentary by the journalist John Pilger, and the excellent must watch, Dr Bob Gill, the documentary is called “The Great NHS Heist!” This documentary 100% backed up Jeremy Corbyn’s revelations only days before the GE, when Corbyn appeared in front of the media, asking the media “why can I find this material, and none of you can?” with the entire already negotiated evidence that the UK Tory govt were selling off the NHS, now 2 years later almost all of NHS is owned by USA pharmaceutical companies, whilst media cameras were diverting the publics attention to the constant 24/7 smear campaign against Corbyn and also, Corbyn’s allies, Chris Williamson, and of course George Galloway, whom Corbyn should’ve brought back to Labour, and these two iron hard personalities, would’ve crushed all of the smears based on lies, and called out Welby as the fake fecker and deceiver of the poor.

     

    ITV said that they too didn’t want to be seen as interfering in the GE 2019, just like the duplicitous Welby, so they, in conjuction with, the chief Corbyn hater, The Guardian, agreed to the delay in the broadcasting and publication of the documentary, which would’ve proved 100%, Corbyn’s revelations about NHS being almost completely owned by big Pharma in USA, until after the GE. Anybody who doesn’t get that the majority of worldwide media is only allowed to broadcast in a way that ensures that the 99% of citizens will not have a voice, is seriously sleep walking into an inescapable trap.

    !!BADA BING!! on 25TH DECEMBER 2021 8:45 PM

     

    Glen’s son,was my English teacher at St Gregory’s in Cranhill,sits in front of me at CP,he presented me with a Glen Daly Rothesay CSC tie,a couple of years ago

     

    ………………

     

    I also went to the ” New St Gregorys in Cranhill for about 6 months or so, as we were ” Transferred” from the OLD Gregg. I was at the Old Gregg from January 1968 til sometime in 1970.

     

    I left School in January 1971 to take up my very 1st Job on a building Site as a TEABOY….although the official Job Title was ” NIPPER”.

     

    Great days.

    A Happy Boxing Day to all the GOOD Bhoys on here, lets hope that The Celts get the 3 points at St Johnstone Today, although I suspect that we will face being up against another 10 or 11 man defence for most of the game ?

     

    Maybe, ANGE will pull a Christmas Cracker out of the bag, by playing Kyogo ?

     

    Fingers crossed.

    I did NOT go out to a Pub on Christmas Day, as I just stayed at home alone watching the TV, and eating Chocolate Bars and Cakes…NAE Drink.

     

    I MAY go out to the Pub after the Celts game is over Today…and the Horse Racing is finished on TV.

     

    Yesterday, I watched the Films ” CASABLANCA” Yet again…and later on I watched ” SPARTACUS” yet again.

     

    Charles Laughton, Peter Ustinov and Lawrence Olivier were just superb in SPARTACUS.

     

    With NO Drink, NO Fitba and NO Horse Racing it was rather a long Day….but I got thru the Day without spending or losing a Penny…

     

    LOL.

    I also frequented St. Gregorys in Cranhill and knew of the english teacher

     

    Mr.Dick who was indeed the son of Glen Daly although never had him as my teacher

     

     

    Someone mentioned the old school chaplain who when I went there

     

    from 1977 to 1982 was Father Chambers

     

     

    Sadly the Greg has long since been demolished

    Any of you past pupils of the Greg recall a teacher called Maggie Dunnachie? Circa 83/4 ish.

    Good morning all from a damp and gray Garngad

     

     

    3 points on this fine day Celtic. Please

     

     

    D :)

  36. David66 on

    My team for today:

     

     

    Hart

     

     

    Welsh CCV Starfelt

     

     

    Ralston Bitton Cal Mac Taylor

     

     

    Juranovic Kyogo Abada or Johnson

     

     

    3 at the back and overload the forward area fast and penetrate what will be a packed defence.

     

     

    Or put Bitton back to CB and CCV at centre forward and go long if it’s not working for us.

     

     

    The point is we need to try something different to break these boring rugby playing disgrace of football teams.

     

     

    D :)

    I remember a teacher there around the same time who was also a model for Kay’s catalogue, a ringer for Glynis Barber. Could be her

  41. Big Jimmy on

    My GREAT English Teacher at the OLD Gregg was Mr Lynes. He was very supportive.

     

    Mr Madill was the Head Master.

     

    I was both the Old and the NEW Gregg from Jan.1968 til Jan.1971.

     

    I left aged 15, to make MONEY !

    I went there (Lightburn) 1960-66.

     

     

    Mr Murray was HM, lovely guy.

     

     

    Remember teachers Mr Harrison (Geog) , Mr Farrell (Science) Mr Lindsay (Gym)

     

     

    Felix Porter,(Technical) and Mr Feeney(French). you didn’t want to get the belt from either of these two sado’s!

     

     

    In my early 20’s I lived in wonderful Dennistoun and used to meet Mr Porter at Mass in Our Lady of Good Counsel.
