If you know your history – October 13th

130 years ago … 1891 we have followed Celtic’s attempt to win their first major trophy. Despite the setback of an opening day defeat to leaders Hearts – The Bhoys are sitting poised in joint second place with Dumbarton the current Champions ( joint) and Leith Athletic. The other Champions (joint) Rangers are sitting in a distant 8th placing.

Celts are the current holders of the Glasgow Cup having defeated Third Lanark in the previous season 90/91 Final.

Saturday 10th October commenced the campaign in defence of that trophy, as the team travelled to Inchview Park, Whiteinch to play Patrick Thistle in front of 4,000 fans. This was described by the Scotsman as a ” large crowd” and illustrates the growing interest in the game in general, and in Celts in particular.

Inchview Park had been the home of Patrick FC and became the home of Patrick Thistle for a period.

Just a random thought.

Those of you who knew our late friend Garry Duncan will recall his many comments, stories, adventures and musings on the area where he grew up….in this week it’s quite poignant to reflect that he will have sauntered happily along these very streets…perhaps he half-heard the distant echoes of the sounds of the players and fans of yesteryear … and had a wee chuckle to himself.

From the team lines we see that Dowds/Douds has recovered from his previous illness and returns to the halfback line, but regular ‘keeper Tom Duff is still out with a cold and Charles Kelly on loan from Hibernian is standing in as custodian.

McMahon, Campbell and Brady score without reply to take the Bhoys on to a Quarter Final tie against Northern.

Teams

Partick Thistle:-
McCorkindale, Proudfoot, Campbell, Freebairn, Cameron, Brown. Gilchrist, Kelly, Paul, McCombie, Dayle.

Celtic:- Charles Kelly, Reynolds , Doyle, Gallagher (sic), Kelly, Dowds , McCallum, Brady, Madden, McMahon, Campbell.

I was at that semi final! I have absolutely no recollection whatsoever of a player called Millsop, although all others are instantly remembered. If I recall correctly we paid £30000 for Jock Weir. I wonder what that is in today’s money. I could be wrong as I don’t bother checking, it’s just as I remember, right or wrong😁.

According to the Office of National Statistics price index , £30,000 in 1951 is the equivalent of £966,000 today.

A large outlay at the time, I guess.

John Milksopp’s tragic story –

Born in Cambuslang in 1930, he was signed from Blantyre Celtic at 16 and was recognised as a utility player.

By 1952 he was slowly establishing himself in the team (20 appearances), and played in a 5-3 league win over Falkirk in September 1952. Unfortunately he developed stomach pains after the game that led to complications and he passed away two weeks later.

The 1947-8 Celtic was undoubtedly one of the poorer sides of the club’s history.

It is, however, overegging the pudding to suggest the win at Dundee in itself averted relegation.

What is beyond argument is that Celtic took the field that day knowing that failure to win would leave their fate outwith their own control and that relegation would then be a live possibility.

It seems that other results went our way, and it turned out that the win at Dundee was more a case of icing on the cake as opposed to direct salvation.

Morning troops and happy hump (Woden’s) day.

SeS, as always a pleasure Sir.
Today’s take aways start with names, there’s quite a few strange ones!
Inchview is a strange name for a park. Call it Bigview Park and it might have been busier.
And then a couple of surnames I have never heard in my life, so strange to me, are McCorkingdale and Freebairn. Talk about old fashioned.

As for Mystery Milsopp, what a tragic tale! When taken alongside Peter Scarff and John Thompson one might actually ask did we have a knack of signing tragedies in waiting?
Do other teams have such players in their history or just us? I understand times were different and some considered mild today could kill back then, but what another terrible tale for a Tim.

Martin’s three central defenders would cost about 50million to buy today, and I’m sure there’s some terrible stains in shorts by those who had to face that trio, unforgiving to say the least.

I’m minded to look into Drapiers letters now, and had no idea Italy declared war on ze Germans at all tbh. Thanks for that info.
The Knights Templar got shafted, no doubt about it as they had noble intent. The original UN peacekeepers perhaps, but it went so very wrong.

Anyhows, can’t wait until the real football returns, although happy most of the blog might actually see their nation in a world cup at long last.
As for the nation I’m supposed to support, they had a player sent of for time wasting on the 37th minute of the game, giving you a great example of their mindset. What a joke and no wonder I wouldn’t entertain them. Sackings should follow such malarkey.

Very cold in the mornings now.
Autumn/Fall is truly upon us.

AFTERNOON ALL and JIM, saltires brilliant stuff as always, my late father and late uncle packy were at that 1951 game they were convinced we would beat the glesga rainjurs, but it was not to be, who was the referee again😍 😍 JIM, did you say you were going to buy me a new drumkit last night, forget it pal, keep yer money in yer poaket, just checked you cant get a slingerland kit for love or money, same goes for hayman and premier, that was the three kits i used, ill just make do with some old dustbin lids, they can still make a noise, another true story,😍 😍

Rebus67

Against my better judgement, I watched the Faroes vs Scotland game last night. I was starved of football and at the same time, energised by the last ditch victory vs Israel. Now that the relief over the victory has left me, what are my lasting impressions?

Firstly, for such a small nation, the Faroes are punching above their weight. Denmark only managed the same score as Scotland. They are no pushovers. They are superbly organised and play to their limitations…..mainly defensive with two lines of four, but with the ability to play sweeping outballs to either wing, but mainly their right wing. Their coach did his homework and noticed the vulnerability in the centre of the Scottish defence to long high balls. Hakan Erikson is not doing his reputation any harm by coaching in the Faroes!

Secondly, for a team that historically carries little to no luck, Scotland are riding their luck to the limit. When will this luck run out…against Moldova? Recent wining performances are balanced on a knife edge and this teeter totter will finally fall the wrong way.

Thirdly, you cannot deny the first law of tactics. For every effective defensive strategy, there is a counter move that will defeat it. Two lines of four can be beaten by a move down the wing and a mid level cross behind the last line. That is what finally defeated the islanders, perhaps, unfairly. Credit to Paterson for attempting the delivery. Why did it take so long for Clarke to put on a player that could do that? Only he knows that answer.

Fourthly, two lines of four, plus a towering CB will defeat crosses from the wing into the centre. Incidently, the CB plays for Dundalk and at 27 is worth a scouting visit. He seemed to be mobile as well as statuesque. I doubt Dykes physicality will be matched again as well as it was in this game.

Victory to Scotland but kudos to an admirable island nation, is the final thought.

One final, final thought…..the 1951 game? Nope, I was most definitely not at it. I was five at the time and my only memories of that time are Miss Clanahan and my first months at school, plus a battle over whether I would be raised by my grandparents or my parents. The result could be called a draw,

Football and bigotry were still to be discovered!

Lennon causes a kerfuffle with his comments about NI as a pundit.
Not surprising as guys like him have zero introspection or self awareness.
But truly what do we honestly expect with the collection of failures that regularly get commentary gigs on Scottish football?
McCoist,Boyd ,Neil,and.McCann haven’t a clue about modern football and spout utter nonsense.
Decent pundit’s would upset the SFA gravy train if they told the truth about how deliberately outdated and poor the Scottish game is.
That Clarke has some very good players in the Scotland squad and consistently misuses them is never discussed.
He is aware that kid glove handling of media and SFA favorites is the best exercise in self preservation so nothing will improve.
Not at any point did he or commentators suggest a tactical switch when the hard to discern ones we were using consistently failed.
The lack of creativity in the centre of park was glaring and Turnbull’s stats made him the obvious choice yet we knew if subs were made Patterson would be one of the first up.
Even McGregor who at least brought some shape to the shambolic midfield doesn’t score or create many goals.
If Turnbull was a Rangers player we could be almost certain he would have started in these qualifiers with a crescendo of support from media.
Somethings will never change and we will continue as a footballing backwater.

The reason Strachan did not get Scotland to Euros was he did not pick the Celtic players until it was too late.
So as not to upset the hun media and SFA he continually picked championship duds.
When it looked lost he turned to the Celtic contingent and we almost qualified.
SFA got rid of him not for results but because he picked too many Celts.
They would rather bask in the glory of perpetual failure than pick on merit.
Clarke knows the score which is why Patterson who gets few minutes for Rangers has seen plenty gametime for Scotland.
Same reason for Turnbull getting skelves on his arse warming the bench.

Packy, Talking about ‘Premier’ drums. Back in the 70s/80s I used to buy Sounds weekly pop& rock paper. There was normally a huge advert for Premier Drums. Included in a a list of famous rock & pop drummers who used them, but an odd one stood out – Alex Duthart, Shotts & Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band!

“Alex Duthart (October 7 1925 – November 27 1986) was a Scottish drummer who revolutionised Scottish pipe band snare playing
He was described by Buddy Rich as a far better drummer than me”.

He once guested with my band at a charity concert. We played a wide variety of types of music. He could play everything easily.
He died of a heart attack whilst lining up to play with British Caledonian Airways band in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.

Fan, One Radio pundit I like to hear from is Willie Miller. His comments are always relevant, true & unbiased. Even if Aberdeen are playing. I can’t remember him ever saying anything I would consider controversial on Sportsound.

Re. Scotland & Strachan, I remember it well! As soon as he started picking the Celtic players he should have been all along, things improved. But it was too late by then.

JIM went to see alex duthart at a drum clinic at the adelphi hotel in liverpool, took my mate pat mcdonagh a good dublin bhoy and a crackin drummer, he had never heard of alex duthart, well he did after the show, we were both blown away by the technique of alex ,he just played on the snare drum first half, then went on the full kit second half, absolutely incredible, an icon in the art of drumming, and a scotsman to boot,will never forget it👍

Fan,
I can’t agree regarding turnbull, sorry. The system Clarke plays, in fact all modern football demands that the players are fit and energetic. Turnbull is neither of these. Where do you play him? In place of mcginn, no. Gilmour no. He can’t play the same role as McTominay so that’s a no. He could have replaced Christie but again he lacks the energy that Clarke wants in that role. Turnbull is not good enough for Celtic, never mind Scotland. In my opinion of course.

fan

ATOB
Obviously you do not like Turnbull.
I didn’t see the logic of bringing on McGregor who is neat and tidy but rarely contributes with goals or assists whereas Turnbull does.
Also there was no need for superfit athletes when all the Faroes did was put two defensive lines close to stop us walking through.
A couple of shots from the central area would of made it difficult for Faros to remain so comfortable in that formation.
McGregor made one very good pass for a Gilmour one on one with keeper but rest of time he did what he does and just recycled ball.
I like my mids to impact the game with goals or telling passes and McGregor for all his skill does not do that enough.
He has become conditioned to safety first.

I just don’t rate him. I find it very hard to take to midfielders. I am cursed by seeing paul mcstay when I was 11 and thinking every player was like that. In turnbull I admit I am struggling to see past the one foot, one lung and one trick pony element of his play. Harsh I know and I hope he proves me wrong and you right.

agree totally on Turnbull – although let’s face it, who else was coming through the ranks in our neighbourhood ??

He seems to me to be a product of our times

Capabale of genius, but sense a lacking in heart and guts and determination – we all know every pro’ player needs a special type of quality to ‘make it ‘ and sometimes it’s easy to underplay that aspect – so maybe unfair to criticise in that way .. but can’t help feeling he doesn’t apply himself in conditioning and dedication – not really singling him out as I doubt any of our squad do.

I heard that a BMI test in our squad had Virgil Van Dyke as ‘best in class’ – and I can’t reveal who was next, but safe to say he isn’t part of our squad any longer …

We are miles behind other nations – it’s really got fek all to do with the awful WGS’ chat about genetics in Scotland – he is talking pure shite – he’s never been to a gig and stood behind absolute giant lads .. the raw materials are already here….in abundance

.. it’s the coaching and development that’s screwed up

The guys around WGS are stuck in a time-warp .. and it’s a millstone around the neck of our game.

Back to Turnbull – and compare him to average international players we see every few months on tv and he really doesn’t stand out in any favourable way by comparison.

Brendan at Newcastle – hahaha – you know – hadn’t considered that, but Just sitting here thinking …

The whole lot of them would absolutely deserve each other …

SES,
Agree about the sports science and coaching. We only have to look at our own efforts at Celtic to see we don’t place nearly enough emphasis on maximising the potential of our players. When I look at Duffy last season and this season it is embarrassing. For no one at the top of the club to ask wtf was actually happening at Lennox town is more dereliction of duty. That we still don t have a DOF or filled most of the roles needed for a proper football department is more evidence that these dinosaurs should be extinct.

Well up to your usual standards,old bean-and apologies for not responding earlier. Re-

“1884 Greenwich in London established as the universal time meridian of longitude”

Greenwich sits halfway around the world from the anti-meridian (obviously) and divides a certain two islands in the Bering Straits.

Both belong to Alaska,US-which means that the most westerly point in the US and its most easterly point are actually only about two miles away from each other.

Rebus67

ATOB and SES,

Your assessments of Turnbull and Rogic made me think, a task that becomes harder, year by year. Here are the thunks that I came up with.

Since the beginning, I have never liked Rogic. Comparisons used to be made between Armstrong and him, but the Hair was a superior player to Rogic in terms of contributions to a game. Armstrong could last 90 minutes, scored more often, and passed the ball more often. This is not to say that Rogic could not provide moments of brilliance. However, he lost the ball too often for these glimpses to compensate for his overall negative to neutral contribution to the team, IMHO. In summary, it is not because he can only last 60 minutes before his fitness flags, it is the continual overworking of the ball that I dislike. Losing the ball in midfield is a serious error in the Ange system. Consequently, I am surprised that Ange plays him.

Turnbull, who also has a stamina issue, is different from Rogic in that he does not become a headless chicken trying to work its way through a forest of opposition legs. He can pass the ball in a variety of ways, including a scoop pass.

Now on the stamina issue, sometimes a player can develop it so far and no further. He may have a heart or lung issue that places a barrier on the level of stamina that is possible. That is why players like Asa Hartford saw transfers collapse in the past. Nowadays more is known about heart conditions such as AFIB, murmour etc and also about scarring in the lungs. It can be assessed if they constitute risk to athletes, so more players can now have a career whilst having these issues. On the other hand, just as there is a limit on high I can jump, there can be a limit on stamina levels for some. No amount of training will fix that, just as no amount of coaching could make me jump higher. Paddy McCourt may have been an example of it, but I do not know enough about his lifestyle to judge it accurately.

So Rogic and Turnbull may be at their limits staminawise and no amount of increased training will help them….possibly it could harm them. It is up to the coach to utilise them within their capabilities in that case.

Rebus67

SeS,

Agree. Turnbull and Rogic should not be played together. Stamina is not the only reason that they should not be together. Neither can track back so it puts more of a burden on both the FBs and the other midfielders.

In truth, I don’t think either suits Ange’s system and he may dispense with both of them in the next year. I suspect he is targeting Japanese midfielders who will run all day. I expect to see at least one in January. If we do not, it will be an indication that the Board is not all in on Ange.

I am not 100% on Ange. He is a high risk appointment. Remember Paul Guen at Rangers? I get that feeling.

All tge signs are that Ange needs 1-2 years to win a league and then he does not win it the following year. Overall, that adds up to 1 league in 3 or 4 years. Is that acceptable for a Celtic manager?
