  2. No luck with any streams either, win is on the cards!!!
  3. Dont like getting involved in topics like this but came across this on another forum, some of them Celtic protesters are fond of their history, must have overlooked this part. Glasgow Celtic Players who fought or died in the 1st World War Leigh Roose Roose was a Welsh goalkeeper who was on loan at Celtic in 1910, he had a 24 caps for Wales and a Doctorate in Bacteriology before he joined the 9th Royal Fusilier in 1914. He rose to the rank of Lance Corporal and was awarded the Military Medal before his death on 07/10/1916 around 1.45pm to 9.00pm in the Battle for Montauban. His regiment was sent to attack the enemy line, it is believed that he died of heavy machine gun fire and shelling when his regiment came under attack (he is recorded as missing on the Thiepval Memorial). On that day it is recorded 25 died, 165 missing and 132 wounded. Patrick Slavin Slavin was the 2nd player to die while playing under Celtic. He rose to the rank of Sergeant and was with the 2nd Battalion Royal Scots and died November 13, 1916 in the 2nd Battle for the village of Serre. The day he died it was reported that there was thick fog by 5am and that the enemy's barbed wire was not cut, he is reported to been shot dead after "going over the top", that day 23 died, 84 missing and 177 wounded. John McLaughlin McLaughlin's records are scant which may show that he never played a first team appearance for Celtic. However it is known that he played for Mossend Hibs and Renton. He held the rank of Private and was in the 11th Battalion of the Highland Light Infantry, he was injured on the 23/04/1917 when his battalion came under fire at the Battle of Cavalry Farm at Monchy Le Preux which is north of Arras. However he was did not survive his wounds and died on the 10/05/1917. Peter Johnstone Johnstone was a pre-war Celtic legend who had played for Celtic 223 times and was one of the players who won the league 6 times in a row under Willie Maley. Peter joined the 6th Battalion of the Seaforth Highlanders. He died on the 16/05/1917, when his regiment were told to capture a chemical factory as part of the Battle of Arras. In the 2 day battle it was reported 43 died, 26 missing and 51 wounded, although he among the missing, rumours of his death were spread around Glasgow which were confirmed on 06/06/1917. His name is engraved on the Arras Memorial. Archie McMillan McMillan was an outside left who made his debut against Rangers in 1913. He held the rank of Private and was in the 1st/7th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. From 21 to 23 November of 1917, his regiment was involved in heavy fighting in the Battle of Cambrai. Their orders were to capture the village of Fontaine-Notre-Dame, Aisne and although they were successful he was shot dead and was among the 9 dead, 22 missing and 128 wounded. He is buried in a British war cemetery in Manancourt. Donald McLeod McLoed was a full back who played 155 times for Celtic from 1902-08. He was a Gunner and was part of the 466th Battery of the 65th Royal Field Artillery. It is known that he died of his injuries (06/10/1917) but of what caused them it is unknown. However it is most certain that he died in Belgium and was involved (or died) in the Battle of Passchendaele. Robert Craig Craig was the final former Celtic player to die in the war. His career lasted 3 years at Celtic from 1906-1909, he was a full-back and played 13 times for the club, he was a private in the 5th Battalion of the South Wales Borderers and died on 19/04/1918. He died of his wounds from 11/04/1918 when the enemy re-captured the town of Mesen in Belgium. He is buried in Boulogne Eastern Cemetery. William Angus William with Lord Newlands President of the Territorial Army Association on his right and Lt James Martin on his rightWilliam Angus played for Celtic and was awarded the Victoria Cross in 1915. He was awarded this medal for his bravery and valour in saving Lt James Martin who was lying a few feet from the German line, however he lost an eye, damaged a foot and was wounded 40 times in the process. But when he came home to Scotland he was given a hero's welcome and was always a guest of honour in major football matches. He also became the president of Carluke Rovers FC and held that position until his death.
  4. Heres hoping Ive it done in my bet so I'm more than hoping! Was supposed to be over for this, fuckin easyjet let me down.
  5. Not my other team but nearest is Banbridge Town FC, can just about see the ground from my front window. Currently doing well in the second tier of Northern Ireland's Irish League (or whatever they call it now). Never go and watch tho, occasionly go down to the park to watch Seapatrick FC, wee village where i came from.
  6. Had planned to be over for this game, but thanks to my good friends at easyjet fucking up the flights i'll not get, ditto the Stoke and Spuds games.
  7. Have had this problem too the past few days, sorted it self out once i connected the ethernet cable.
  8. GTAIV at the minute but it will be on the back burner once COD WaW comes out. Thinking of getting Little Big Planet.
  9. Can see us getting a tanking tonight if we play like the 2nd half of the Brom match. Too much pace and strenght up front in the Villa team. 3-1 at least to Villa.
  10. 02/03 NUFC 2-0 SAFC 05/06 NUFC 3-2 SAFC 07/08 NUFC 2-0 SAFC Unfortunately not going to get in January due to work, but might have a dose of the manflu come then.
  11. Probably be the same as normal, Citeh will take a 2-0 lead before any of our players looked interested. Duff and Shola (yes Shola!) to lead the fightback and another 2-2 draw.
  12. Everton win, 2-0. Hope i'm wrong tho.
  13. Happy Birthday lad!! Been a good week for them, mine was yesterday.
  14. +1 Was over at the game yesterday and these two stood out a mile, with Owen even coming down to applaud the fans after the final whistle. If we can start to perform like the 2nd half yesterday we'll soon start getting results. Talking to lads leaving the game yesterday and they seemed to be a more upbeat about the future despite the result.
  15. Like to see him hanging from the arch over chinatown tbh. Prepare for long ball football.
  16. Going over for my first trip of the season, and taking the brothers kid with me. Expecting a Toon win, but in all reality cant see it. Todays news on the manager front will hardly inspire the team to a good result. Going for a 0-1 this year again.
  17. Unbelievable!! Even O'Dreary would have been a better choice. Sale of the club cant come quick enough.
  18. Signed up, and will pass it on to all the rest in our supporters club over here.
  19. Aye done that with me but said it would be a reconditioned one. Got it within 3 days.
  20. Anyones PS3 packed in on them yet?? Mine did 2 weeks ago.
  21. Is this not to be expected after every international break? Its usually Owen who is crocked but thankfullly he wasnt away. I'd add another 3 weeks onto that time period too.
