BDecent Folk...........

Hi SP think you were the First person on the Noise when I joined last year it was summit about the Huns and the spelling of the word Clan and always remember the reply it’s the Spellin polis. With 😂 face as some one whose now past 50 (55) got to it before the Hun hooooors enjoy the day and enjoy the family and friends they’re what’s really important. HH SP YNWA

As the current nonentity playing out of Ibrox is going for their first title.....you were always going to get to 55 first...just saying...
 
I'm going to turn 50 in three months and I think it's a good time to reflect on my life so far and to consider what the future holds.

Thus far, I have been blessed and a little bit more besides. I had the great fortune of having the greatest people I've known as my role-models, mentors and parents and I have a peculiar, weird, eccentric older brother who, in spite of his strangeness, always did me a solid turn when I needed it. I also had another brother, my twin - Peter, who couldn't be arsed with the whole 'life' thing and decided to bypass the nonsense and go straight to heaven.

I have a daughter who also decided that life was a bit of an inconvenience and chose to keep an eye on me from a safe distance. She's never too far away though and she has a habit of messing about with my watch from time-to-time.

I miss my dog and I love my cat.

I've screwed up in a million different ways, but somehow always managed to land on my feet.

I have three great friends who have been with me for most of my life and that bond has extended beyond being a secondary family and has evolved to something greater.

My health has been relatively good and whatever mistakes I have made in my relationships, then that is all on me. I've made my apologies and they appear to have been accepted.

There are things I won't forget, but I can't be annoyed holding grudges, so it's easier for me to forgive.

Then there is the one thing beyond my family that has always been there with me throughout my conscious life: Glasgow Celtic

The one feature in my life which has been responsible for allowing me to feel every human emotion. From abject misery to unbridled joy. From destructive rage to blissful calm.

Celtic has also allowed me to share experiences with thousands of like-minded folk, but in the last 12-months or so, it has also provided me the great pleasure of making all of your acquaintances.

We don't always agree and we don't always get on, but there are very few of you who have featured on this site that I wouldn't welcome the opportunity to break bread with and share some boat drinks with.

I'm not sure if I would enjoy sailing off the edge of the flat world, but apart from that, I feel honoured to have shared your thoughts, opinions and experiences. I'm glad that we don't always agree, but I'm even happier that those disagreements are soon forgotten.

So now that I'm approaching the half-century, I want to express, very clearly, how privileged I feel to have encountered the vast, vast majority of you through this medium.

From the mods to the regular contributors. From the young team to the old brigade. From those who are near - to those who are far away. I can't think of a better group of folk I would like to share the future with beyond those I have previously mentioned.

I have been educated. I have been informed. I have been entertained. I have laughed. I have cried. I have been happy and I have been sad.

These are the emotive responses of a contented man who has had regular exposure to decent folk.

There is no currency that can buy decency. That's an inherited trait passed down through the genes and from lifes lessons learned.

Today has confirmed what I already knew to be true in most of you already. Decency, kindness, friendship and empathy is in you all (well mostly all).

Thank you doesn't seem quite enough, but I am not educated or articulate enough to put it any other way.........Thank You.
Ah the kids going for 50 the benchmark where we look back ,rejoice regret , celebrate ,remember and sometimes wish to forget it's the hallmark moment so i can only say wait till the next 50 kicks in it's brilliant it's like misery with christmas added 🤣

Nice sentiments SP but as an oldie they never last just go with the flo us oldies get to ruin everybodys day and it's brilliant 🤣
 
I will be 60 in a few months. Anybody else of similar age wonder where all these years went? Seems as if I was in a time warp circa 25-3 yrs old. All you young bloods get out there start your bucket list. Coz tomorrow doesn't wait. As the Floyd sing- you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking...., you're older, shor ter of breath and one day closer to death. Time, DSoM

By the sound of things my friend you have not lived a lifetime you have lived an eternity
and most if not all of your eternity has been good to you.
Lets hope your next 50 years are of the same calibre as the last 50..

bit O/T here re: decent people - one of our directors Mr Brian Wilson is looking to deny the Scottish people a chance of independence see WOS. He states that if we want to have a referendum he says no in advance. Decent person to have on our board, denying people's rights. Augurs well for agm, Res12.????😑😑😑😑😑

Mr Brian Wilson
Brian David Henderson Wilson (born 13 December 1948) is a former Scottish Labour Party ... He is also chairman of Harris Tweed Hebrides, a director of Celtic Football Club and Visiting Professor at the University of Strathclyde.
He was a dedicated Labour man and always will be, his opinions on independence should in no way hinder or hold him back from carrying out his performance to do his job at Celtic. Celtic open to all.

I did look him up and he has held many high positions both in business and politics. not denying his labour credentials. If he is looking to deny the right of a country to vote on independence how does that work re: res12, and holding sfa to account.???

he is not looking to deny anything and his choice is not connected, independence is a personal opinion and I am sure many people do not even know who the guy is, just like Unions put forward their views at the end of the day the vote comes down to the person who has the choice to mark an X for wahtever they wan., Res 12 is a shareholder issue to force, even if the board would rather avoid it, the decison lies with the shareholders to convince enough shareholders to hold their board to account and have them write/investigate/force an issue on their behalf, and the SFA will never be held to account by a single club, should they choose to sweep it aside, unless all clubsm, stand with a single club in the interest and integrity of football they will discover the SFA as is their remit it is to UEFA re licence applications and if UEFA is not paying attention or can not bothered the SFA will be off the hook.
