The Dubai Hoops CSC has been privileged to have had many Celtic greats over to visit us on numerous occasions; Bertie Auld, Billy McNeill, Tommy Gemmell, Joe McBride, Dixie Deans et al. Whilst regaling us with their memories and stories, one thing that always shone through was the absolute love and admiration that each had for Jinky, the man and the player. May God bless you and keep you Jinky.
Green Honest Day/Week..............ends Monday:
Thanks Green Day for giving me the chance to get this off my chest. See when I was about eleven I pretended to be a proddy so I could get free dinners during the summer holidays. Told the dinner lady I had just moved across from the other side of the city and I was staying with my cousin but really it was one of my cousin's pals and he just told me to stay 'shtume' even when we were playing football in the playground or sitting in the dinner hall and to say my name was Tam (and not Tim). It was meant to be a dare for just one day but ended up going for about six weeks and was nearly rumbled a couple of times but the dinners were much better than at my school, plus they were free and I managed to play football with all these huns and not have a big fight afterwards for a change!

I voted SDLP once! Oh I'm glad that's said, the stupidity of it has been killing me for years. Green & White Red
Ah used tae fancy Dana. CG
I've started seeing this lassie in Dubai and she thinks I'm a free agent but my girlfriend is coming over from Glasgow next week and I don't know how to play this one because already I'm finding out that the UAE is like a village, so no place to hide the new girlfriend. Any advice Green Day? New Guy.(I'm sure Green Day will answer you in time New Guy but this is not a problem page, it's for a laugh and for confessing stupid things that we did years ago, anyway, seems to me that you really are in deep sh shi shatchoo!!...........Ed.)
I bought a pair of Levi denim jeans that had been snowdropped and told my Mum that they were new and got the money from her for the retail price but only paid the street rate for them. I kept the difference and used the money to go ice-skating with friends from school. Sorry Mum. Posh Bhoy.
I aked Jim White to sign my autograph book. KD
Green Day, is it too late to own up to past misdeeds? Because if it is not, there are other things I need to get off my chest that have been bothering me for a while. Posh Bhoy.(Share them with us Posh Bhoy. We have decided to extend confessions/contributions to Green Honest Day to the weekend (Monday at the latest) making it Green Honest Week. Unfortunately Green Day is currently busy with other issues, like making a living, to respond but I am sure that he will be back soon to comment. Ed.)

A GREEN HONEST DAY
Honesty – it’s such a lonely word, or so the song goes.
Time therefore for GREEN HONEST DAY which will be this Tuesday 7th June 2005.
Time for all anonymous e-mailers to get a few things off their chests. Tell us about all the things you have done,embarrassing, illegal, shocking, truthful things which you need to offload, safe in the sanctuary of the Green Day confessional! (See the N & V page for the owning up to stuff.....................Ed.)
Did you steal sweeties at the corner shop & always regret it?
Have you stitched up your mate & only now feel it is right to come clean?
Been cheating on the girlfriend?
Wore a Rangers top ever?
Been caught spanking the monkey by your mammy? Your burd? Your burd's mammy?
Been secretly seeing someone else behind yourburd's back?
Stuffed'Kennomeat' doon yir pants & whistled on the dug? And got caught by yourburd's mammy?
Tell us your secrets – you can trust us we know some priests! .........And someburd's mammies.
Green Day
(Great idea Green Day; confession is good for the soul as long as it's not in a 'polis' station. That right CG?..................Ed.)
BOTTLED IN MOTHERWELL!
Many, many words have been spoken, written, chanted & shouted regarding Celtic’s inability to hold a lead. (Queue - David Blunkett jokes)
The reality is that the Hoops lost a last minute one of a kind goal after they had stuffed Motherwell for 89 minutes & lost the league. Get things in to perspective. This is a poor Celtic team, which does not or cannot play in the Celtic way. We could have halved the wage bill this year by not playing the midfield since their medical bills (from strained necks watching the ball get punted back & forth like artillery shells) were more than Michael Jackson’s legal bills!
We have slipped backwards near to the gaping black hole, which is “Hun Fitba”, and they have not improved because they cannot – God will not allow it! We will both be lucky to qualify for the Champions league & if we do then we will be lucky to reach the UEFA Cup laundry chute, which we see as “a good seasons work”.
Wee Ginger Nut must be given sufficient funds to buy at least five new players & those remaining must perform to a higher standard than this year.
And they say I am a pessimist!
ALL ABOARD THE SKYLARK!
Balde, Lambert, Douglas, Henman, Agathe, Lennon, Petrov, Sutton, Hartson, Sylla, Fernandez all leaving! (Lennon says there’s only room for one ginger nut at Paradise!)
If the rumours prove to be true then the Skylark will have difficulty taking off (especially with BBJ on board). So who to replace this team of Ghods?
Having watched Jackie Mac’s testimonial game yesterday, I suggest we bring back Lubo & no one else because he makes everybody else look pish!
BIG MARTIN (1) & STRACHAN SEPARATED AT BIRTH?
Please provide photographic proof that Messrs McGinty & Strachan are not one & the same person. They are the same height & build, enjoy strawberry blondness & take a great color in the sun.
You heard it here first!
BIG MARTIN (2) & ALEX McLEISH SEPARATED AT BIRTH?
Both of these strawberry blonde-haired people emanate from the fair town of Barrhead & have similar managerial styles – one has fewer cups though!

The names of some of the characters below have been changed to protect their innocence; her name was not Agnes.........Ed.
In the Kingdom of Fife in the 1970's a revelation occurred. A young lad (we shall call him Norrie) decided to come out of the closet and declare his love for both the great Glasgow Celtic and of course his passion for his first cousin (we shall call her Agnes).
This bold move brought condemnation from both his family and the local press – the Jackanory Gazette ran this story until their crayons were blunt! Norrie's family were horrified that the rest of Fife would crucify the young Norman, not for jumping the dyke in football terms, but for marrying such an obscure relative, "keep it closer to home," they cried. (Jumping The Dyke would become a favourite movie of Norrie's in later years, along with Debbie Does Dingwall!).
The T Shirt seen here is still in a drawer in Norrie's house today – along with all of the other shirts, he wore in the 70’s.
The family refused to comment on this story but his friends all said, "I never knew he had a cousin".
