The Wembley Cup

celtic triumph

Glasgow Celtic triumphing in the first Wembley cup competition. 

They beat London’s Tottenham Hotspur. As Barcelona and Spurs drew. Celtic lifted the trophy

I was so pleased to see Celtic Play. They had bagpipers, playing the boys of the old brigade, and the fields of Athenry.

There were the large banners, and flags. The Polish Celtic supporters association. A lot of Irish pubs, and a man with a sunburst flag

I went with my brother

We were there to watch Barcelona play an Egyptian side. Al Alhy. Barcelona played in pink. They had Iceland’s Eighur Godjohsson amongst their team.

The Egyptian side had a band with them, who kept playing and singing. As they conceded goal after goal

Then the wait was over. I saw the Bhoys come on the pitch, and huddle. We were allowed to move closer to the pitch. Our seats were up in the Gods.

Celtic scored twice. A great gold from Samaras. Though Spurs were unlucky later in the match

When the final whistle came. Celtic lifted the trophy!

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
