Celtic v Newcastle in July

I might be mixed up and pulled the wrong memory out of the jumble sale in ma head.....

But was that not Peter Beardsley's testimonial.

If not it's similar

I remember something like Beardsley missing a penalty then getting made to re-take it....and scoring....

 

Testimonials are even a step below friendlies tbf.

 

2 similar situations in both games

 

Tell that to Sutton, who slapped Beckham in Giggs's one.

MON seemed to want to get results in them.

 

Sutton is a * though, and I mean that in a loving way. Of course he’d be doing that

 

Shouldn't it be Celtic V Newcastle as games at Parkhead, not being picky crow, well actually I am.

 

There were also quite a few bonnie women on the Middlesbrough buses, I thought about asking to join their CSC' to drive up to Middlesbrough and join their buses BUT explaining why to my mrs would have been a difficult conversation.

 

Manchester ran a couple of buses when I was growing up mate. Would easily fill both for the vast majority of games.

 

You happy now

 

Shearer was playing but Beardsley took the penalty as it was his testimonial. Referee gave him 2 shots at it.

 

It happened in both Beardsley and Shearer testimonials. Posted the video up the page, where Shearer came on to score the penalty

 

Ah ok - sorry. Was only at Beardsley's - which was a cracking day out.

 

'Stadium' was 2 stands at the time. But compared to what old Celtic Park looked like and that horrific season playing at Hampden.....it was beyond belief better.

That same season with only the 2 stands....Van Hooijdonk and Thom scored 2 very late goals to beat 1st division Dundee Utd in the cup.
The roar for Andy Thom's winner was so loud that it knocked out BBC 5 Live's radio broadcast.

I've always said the atmosphere was better than ever in the Tommy Burns seasons. Much more passion. More singing. Going absolute mental anytime we scored.

But I still think we missed the boat on Kevin Kelly's fantastic Cambuslang stadium plan. He had a brilliant plan that it was all going to be paid for by Glasgow City Council. We'd have saved a fortune.
Until Fergus McCann came in and ruined the old board's plans for European domination. That board didn't get long enough in charge to achieve their goals for the club.

And Lou Macari was a brilliant manager. Vastly under rated
,

 

Is that the same game that fat * Allardyce brought their backup keeper on to play up front?

Another petty reason I can't stand them

 

That’s me close to 27 years here in Gateshead, married into a Toon Army daft family

Met all types, the majority of toons fans I’ve met are sound, you get the odd roaster
here and there, just the same as every other fan base.

Some don’t have a clue what goes on North of the border, just have to
teach them a thing or two.

Don’t believe all the pish you read on forums lol

A lot of good * down here by the way.

After years of working all around England, I am glad am here.

As for the rest of England, it is a * hole far as am concerned.

 

My da lived with a lassie for years in South Shields and loved it. He used to basically tell me to * up when I brought up my dislike of geordies and reeled it off the tongue

 

The beach front is awesome same as you venture further south down to Sunderland it’s a beautiful part of the world
It’s glorious when the sun is out.

Whitburn and Seaburn of Sunderland, you can see a lot of money in that area not so much if you travel a few streets into South Shields.

 

I will defo be coming up the night before as train will be rammed with toon fans,couldn't be arsed with that.
