if you look at the top right hand corner of my post charlie, you will see in brackets [my point being innocence] the kids name was patrick!!! My mate is called Patrick and he is a leading light in the local Loyalist movement...you cannot go by names nowadays Patrick.

glancing through it I came across this story about a little boy, who jumped and clapped his hands with delight as the marchers passed by, and he said to his mother; when I grow up, could I put on the Nazi Cross and march in this parade?: she looked at him sadly and replied: you will never march in that parade; Patrick!' Your point being what Patrick ...

I doubt if he ever made the first team Ixus2. In fact I doubt his very name is correct. But, according to the chronology of the book, inexact as it is I would say it would be sometime in the early to mid 1930s, after the tragic death of John Thomson and when American goalkeeper Joe Kennaway was first choice keeper. How wrong you are JameseyBhoy he did make the firt team on several occasions according to Kerrydale Street... Wallace, John Falkirk-born goalkeeper John Wallace signed for Celtic on November 5 1932 from Stonehouse Violet. He made his competitive first team debut in a 4-0 league win at Third Lanark on November 26th in place of the ill Joe Kennaway. Coal miner Wallace was a steady keeper and was solid cover for Kennaway until eventually being freed by Celtic in April 1934. He had played 18 games for the Celts. John went on to play for Coleraine, Derry City and Belfast Celtic. He was obviously nicknamed 'Jock' in preference to John...I wonder if was O'Ffended by this when he played in Norn Irn.

Jimmy I remember the trains running there and we used to steal the fog alarms off the rails...that is what we called them at the time but I am sure the must've been something else like detonators.

Andy as much as I have sympathy with their ideal and basically understand where they were coming from I still feel that there seems to be some sort of 'super hero' culture built around them simply because of their cause.

Not read it yet but I was at Paterson's talk about it during the 'Aye Write' events at the Mitchell Library earlier this year. He was excellent. Very underrated actor. Was that when you left yer glasses that ye were giving the lassies at the reception hassle about today at the back of 4 when I was in there. I stood back whilst you created a commotion as per usual and the next thing you disappeared...where did you go. I ended up in the Glasgow Room until 7.45 but I never saw you...I was hiding in the karaals. ;D

Despite the reverse of three goals to nil in the Emirates Cup yesterday in London 'the special relationship' between the clubs is still strong and is cemented by the fact that the Ibrox club actually own a bit of the North London club.

Y Around 1966/7 there was a terrible fire in Carntyne in which many members of the same family perished. One of our Janefield Street neighbours, Aggie Belshaw was related to this sad family, and took in young Iain Cameron. I believe the funeral left from Janefield Street, and photographs of the event were in the newspapers. That is correct Peter I remember it well and the funeral was in the wee church hall at the corner of Janefield and Holywell Street.
