The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[T Fearon]

Reading a great new book at the moment entitled the Inner Sanctum, all about the 1997/98 Championship winning team that stopped the 10 in a row.

Amazing how the players all stuck together under Wim's leadership (though Tosh Mc Kinlay headbutted Henke at one training session) to achieve the ultimate goal when Jock Brown and Wim weren't on speaking terms and it was no surprise Wim left and not surprisingly wee Fergus doesn't come out of it very well either

A great read and an emotional chapter dedicated to the late Phil O'Donnell as well

Where did you buy this book Tony?

[T Fearon]

Where I buy all my books, Amazon on line, saving loads of money.

But its available also at the Celtic Shop in Belfast and I believe I also saw it last week in Easons in Newry

Surprise surprise! Surely they should switch this game to Casement, as Suffolk Road won't hold a fraction of the crowd that would want to see it

[Rav67]

Why do you say "surprise, surprise" like you expected this to happen?

[T Fearon]

Put it this way, if Celtic had appeared in East Belfast, especially in July, my flabber would have been well and truly gasted.

Well with a deathly silence over Paradise regarding transfers, I thought you Bhoys and Ghirls out there might like this. Pulled from another site.


The Willie Maley Re-mix


Uncle Walter was his name
And he brought anti-football to the game
In his second spell at Ibrox Park
They'd sacked him once for being no good
So now they want to give him a knighthood
And all because he lost the league again

And he gave us Eddy Murphy and Kirk Broadfoot
He gave us Thompson, Dailly, McCulloch and Davie Weir
Now all of these Ibrox greats
Just didn't have what it takes
So Celtic became champions once again

Off to Manchester they had to go
The consolation cup was the show
Where they faced Zenith and their old boss
Smithy and Coisty had a plan
They tried to mark them man for man
But their anti-football failed them once again

And he gave us Eddy Murphy and Kirk Broadfoot
He gave us Thompson, Dailly, McCulloch and Davie Weir
Now all of these Ibrox greats
Just didn't have what it takes
So Celtic became champions once again

Now Manchester has never seen the likes
As the teddy bears started fights
The old town became a sea of piss
There was no riot, what's the fuss
A bears official say's "It wisnae us"
And Scotland's shame, shamed us once again

And he gave us Eddy Murphy and Kirk Broadfoot
He gave us Thompson, Dailly, McCulloch and Davie Weir
Now all of these Ibrox greats
Just didn't have what it takes
So Celtic became champions once again

Speaking of whom, this is a text I got on the 25th of April this year... 

On this day April 25th 1868 in Newry Barracks, Mary Maley, wife of Sgt T Maley of Nth Brit Fusiliers gave birth to a boy called William. Strange how things work out!!!

Celtic first steam squad are playing in Portugal on 23rd July so I'd expect it will be u21 players in Belfast.

[T Fearon]

Same as in Newry a couple of years ago, basically reserves and u21s with maybe Evander Sno thrown in for good measure

Bad and all as the Rangers football was last season, they didn't half contribute to a brilliant end of season after they hit the wall of their limitations.
It just wouldn't have been the same without them.

Which squad will Pat McCourt be in?
