Celtic’s “Humility”.

Relax. All this is proof of how much pain we’ve inflicted on Celtic over the years. They’ve long been damaged goods. 

We should probably be flattered by it all - we're in their every waking thought, haunting their dreams as well.

 

And it proves that - as my dad says - "it's all about the Rangers".

Have they agreed on a date yet?

is it 1887 or 1888? not sure they know themselves.

Interesting?

 

During 1987, two Celtic supporters, Tom Campbell and Pat Woods penned a tremendous read, 'the Glory and the Dream' is an unofficial biography of Sellik FC. They found the evidence that Sellik began in St Mary's Halls during November 1887. The tome was both well researched and written, but remained a quiet sell. In 1988, Sellik commissioned the soon to be club Director, Brian Wilson MP to pen the official centenary publication, 'A Century with Honour'(nae kiddin'). The book was poorly researched and written, and Brian stayed with the lazy option of the club being founded in 1888. Brian has a double garage somewhere, filled to the brim with his awful offering; however, ra Sellik being a strict hierarchical structure and Brian about to take his seat of Directorship, 1888 won out.

 

Reference Campbell and Woods research, they brought to light the true story of Jimmy McGrory. In the early thirties, the then manager of Sellik, Willie Maley was accompanied by McGrory on his annual pilgrimage to Lourdes. They stopped in London and dined with then Arsenal manager, Herbert Chapman. McGrory took a comfort break and Chapman offered Maley £40,000 for his star striker, and an assurance that the center forward wood double his wages. Maley told Chapman he could count on the transfer going through and on his return in a few weeks hence, another meal would seal the deal. McGrory was both hurt and upset that the club would so easily sell him on, he played for the club he supported. Maley was incensed at McGrory's loyalty and promptly reduced his wages by £1 per week. McGrory was paid £1 less than his Sellik team mates for the remaining several years of his Sellik career. As Annie McGuire says, "Celtic is a lovely club, full of ethics".

The CBC scandal should be brought up every time that shower get on their high horse.

 

Regardless, in the first ten minutes on Sunday you could sense an unease in their end until their players started to get a grip. Everyone knows that their 'Superiority Complex' is about as solid as a baby's first bowel movement.

One would think the events of the last week or so will have motivated our players and others involved with the club but I'm not convinced.

I think you might be right Frankie, but I obviously hope that you are wrong as you no doubt do too. We won't have long to find out on that count. 

 

Ever the optimist (probably misplaced), let's hope they get their collective fingers out a week on Sunday.

From that above, a quote about the club who re-wrote its history:

 

 

The Glory and the Dream - The History of Celtic FC 1887 - 1986 by Tony Campbell and Pat Woods; Mainstream Publishing, 1986

Chapter 2, aptly named Catholic and Irish, states on page 17 ...

 

It was manifestly clear that Celtic was a Catholic club. Founded largely through the determination of a Marist Brother, its first patron was Charles Eyre, "His Grace the Archbishop". Its revenues were earmarked for Catholic charities, its players, officials, members, and commitee men overwhelmingly Catholic, as were the vast majority of its support.
While his prinicipal reason for founding a football club was to raise money to help feed and cloth the poor of the east end parishes, Brother Walfrid had other concerns. He was haunted by the fear that the Protestant soup-kitchens recently set up in Glasgow to combat distress might be means of luring Catholics into apostasy; he was equally worried about the danger to the faith of young Catholics when they first started work and associated with Protestants. ...

... Indeed, up to the present time the club continues the admirable tradition of admitting clergymen of any denomination into the ground free of charge; it would be safe to assume, however, that most of those clerics are Catholics."

 

But, as we all know, it was Rangers being set up as a sectarian club etc. pp. ...

 They may have more money than us but there is one thing they can never buy and that's class .

That is very, very interesting!

 

Funny how history is rewritten, eh?
