Friend, two good men Pat.
So how long did wee Strachan stay fur?
Friend, fae 2005 tae 2009, he left and Celtic gave the joab tae a guy called Neil Lennon, an Irishman, we loast the league that year, but Pat, he managed to win us 3 league titles in a row, then he left, it wiz nuts.
Pat, he won 3 in a row and left, sounds like the usual,
Friend, well next they appointed a Norwegian guy called Ronny Delia, naebdy hid heard ae him, remember thinking, whit the fuck at the time.
Pat, gonnie stoap swearing , you`ll git me fucked oot here,and its aweright in here.
Friend, sorry mate, but this guy Delia, he won us another two oan the trot, then left.
Pat, hod oan, if the guy called Lennon won us 3 in a row, and that Ronny guy won us 2, that makes 5, ye mean we won 5 in a row?
Friend, aye Pat and it gets better, efter Ronny left, we got this guy, another Irishman called Brendan Rodgers.
Pat, and yer telling me it goat better ?,
Friend, Pat yer never gonnie believe this, he won the treble in his 1st season and we went thru the season undefeated, they wur called .The Invincibles, it wiz unreal he then won us another treble in his next season, tae make us double treble winners,1st team in Scotland tae dae it,the supporters were ecstatic Pat.
Pat, wait the noo, so if ma countings right, thats us done 7 in a row?
Friend, Aye Pat 7 in a row unbelievable
Pat, so is the guy Rodgers still winning with us?
Friend, Pat, he left us, under poor circumstances,and went tae Leicester city,the hing is Pat, he left a lot of Celtic fans with a sour taste, we wur going fur the league and Scottish cup, when he walked away, he hid already won us the league cup in November.
Pat, he won two trebles and walked away, no way, so yer meaning tae tell me, we`re in with a good chance ae another treble? whits gawn oan doon there?
Friend, Well ye remeber ah telt ye aboot the Irishman Lennon, who won us 3 in a row,when Rodgers left, Celtic appointed him as interim tae help us try tae achieve the unimaginable and get a Treble Treble.
Pat, so noo yer gonnie tell me, we messed up and the huns won the double?
Friend, Pat, he managed it, we won the league a few weeks ago, and won the Scottish cup oan Saturday, there were thousands n thousands oan the streets dancing , singing and having the time of their life`s, Pat its been unimaginable;to think whit we went thru in the 90s, Celtic have cleaned up for last 3 years.
With that Pat raises himself from his chair, tears streaming from his eyes, and gives his best mate the biggest cuddle ever.
Friend, Pat, ah better go noo, ah telt the wife ah wiz only nipping doon tae the bookies, that wiz 9 hours ago.
As Pat`s mate was jist about tae enter the lift, he shouted tae Pat, oh Pat, wan last thing.

The huns were liquidated!!
The moral of the story Bhoys and Ghirls,We all know and love someone like Pat, enjoy the good times a lot of great people never got the chance to witness what we have…

Nice one ?? the stadium in cambuslang ....jeez whit a time of panic
This is out of stream nial but as we've seen who was at the meeting the leaked came from you seem a bit more in the know than others so I'm asking Your Good self , we can work out the obvious initials to who they are DD NL PL JK etc have you any ideas on who LSL, MN, and TMcK Are? Is tosh McKinley in our employment?
 
Thanks 50
Have just found this on tinternet
LSL - Laban Scott Libby (Technical Scout)
MN - Michael Nicholson (Club Secretary)
TMcK could be tommy McIntyre or tosh McKinley both fit but I don't know if tosh is in our employment at present
Given tosh McKinley is in our employment and he has come out today saying it won't hurt us anyway I'm at a loss. I'm thinking that those at the meeting have spoken to others who weren't and it's grown wings from there

Hi Winter. Sorry for delay. Sunning myself in beautiful catalunja as I write. Wish I did have some insight into this but the facts are I don't. My massive worry is this is infiltration and if this is public what is actually getting into the hands of the genuine paymasters? This is old enough to be obsolete but is there more? I'd be concerned this is a public smokescreen and that worse is making it's way out there without our knowledge. Someone said circle the wagons. He ain't been right much of late. On this one he is. For 9 and 10 this is just a taster
 
Tommy Burns didn’t like Fergus and was wounded he wouldn’t spend on a CB to help him win the league and eventually led to him sackings Tommy.

I know he got rid of the old guard of cunts and I thank him for that. But I loved Tommy and was in his camp. When Fergus left with £40m of our money and left a stadium we paid for it sticks in my craw he gets the credit for it.

He put in £6m and we did the rest. He let Tommy down and for that I never liked him. He got booed at the flag unfurl for good reasons. All this beatification of him makes me sick to my stomach.

We could have stopped their 9iar if he wasn’t a tight arse. I will never change my view in that. To take £40m and go to me wasn’t the action of any Celtic man.
I was there week in week out and saw us play brilliant football with only a little bit of investment we could have toppled them.

He chose not to and we lost tommy. As I said, I’m biased, but Tommy hated him and for how he treated Tommy, so did I.
 
Tommy also hated WGS and look how that turned out.

That's what happens when two strong personalities have different priorities.

Say what you will about Fergus, he didn't hide his motives and he was playing 4-D chess that eventually set up checkmate.

Tommy was a beautiful man who bled green and white, but stopping 9 consumed him and Mr Indignity sensed that weakness. The 95-96 team played some of the best stuff I've seen from a Celtic side and we were a top-class keeper and a 15-goal midfielder away from stopping them on 7.

It just wasn't to be, but neither is it a prerequisite that people have to get along to be successful.

Opinions will always be divided on Fergus, but without his intervention - then the rabid dogs of the Scottish institutions would have buried us without compunction.

For as many tears that I'll shed for Tommy Burns, I'll give as much in thanks to Fergus and his (conservative estimate) £6 million life support.
 
Reading the old documents that have been recorded and statements regards wee Fergus, there is a brilliant similarity regards Celtic and Rangers (old) that i never seen before until i read some of the comments and looked to see what the Fergus era had created at the club or what magic it brought oe what doom.

"On the March 4, 25 years ago today and with literally eight minutes to spare, Dempsey brought in McCann, who invested £9.4 million that cleared the club's debts and acquired him a controlling 51% share of the club.
Think about that - Eight. Minutes.

That alone is enough for every Celtic fan to owe him a debt forever. McCann's words: "The war is over, the rebels have won,” are now immortalised in Hoops' history"

What about this next eight minutes, the best second eight minutes of my life supporting Celtic.

" 140 years of Rangers liquidated ... after just 8 minutes of meeting. RANGERS were today finally liquidated - inside just eight minutes. The CVA proposal tabled to rescue the stricken football club has been formally rejected by creditors at a quickfire 10am meeting at Ibrox Stadium.
