2147 people on the celtic noise but thier are less than 100 regular participants coming on I don't mind because the cracks always good some funny some serious but mostly the love for glasgow celtic is with out doubt. So everyone join in one love hail hail.

Glad you're not one of the crabbit auld gits that seem averse to us having a good craic and a bit of a banter or heaven's above, discuss something other than Celtic. :)
 
In the spirit of the late ( sadly ) great Hugh McIlvanney who died this week , I was remembering a story he told of Big Jock and Wee Jinky .

Jock told Hugh that his greatest achievement in football was keeping Jinky playing for as long as he did because of his drinking .
Hugh questioned Jock on how he managed this and was told by Stein that he had a spy in The Noggin . At first McIlvanney thought that Big Jock was talking psychology and was getting into wee Jimmy's head but Stein said that Jinky was known to frequent a pub called the Noggin and Jock had a 'spy' in there to let him know if Jinky came in when he shouldn't have - prior to a game .
Jock gets the call one day that Jinky has come in and immediately gets on the phone to the barman and asks to speak to Jimmy .
Wee Jimmy is called to the phone and cheerily answers in all innocence ''Hello ? ''
''Aye , Hello ! '' growls Stein '' Get your wee arse oot ae there , now ! ''

One of the best mate, and brought a huge smile to Hugh's face when he told it, today, of all days, that is spine stingling stuff, thanks Millsy, thanks a lot pal.
