"Now we need to show what we are made of"

Postby Joe O'Rourke » Fri Sep 23, 2011 12:42 pm

[COLOR=#000000:5ccd9189]Following on from the Wednesday night in the highlands, we need to push on now and win every domestic match; I say domestic match because quite frankly I don’t care about the Europa league; if I was Lenny I would try and win the home matches and play fringe players in the remaining away matches.[COLOR=#000000:5ccd9189]I don’t know how much influence it had on last week’s disappointing display at Snake Mountain; but I can’t see any way it would have helped, three important away matches in six days obviously was too much for us to handle.[COLOR=#000000:5ccd9189]Tomorrow brings another enemy back to Celtic Park, Terry Butcher seems to get the most out of his players when they are playing against us; I guess that’s when his motivating team talks are the most fervent.[COLOR=#000000:5ccd9189]The big guy has a big chip on his shoulder when it comes to Celtic; I remember his moan at Frank Mc Avennie after the famous court case; he says to Macca; “that’s me got a criminal record now” the bold Macca replied; I’ll swap you”.[COLOR=#000000:5ccd9189]Anyway; forget about him; as long as we do our job to the best of our ability they result will be in our favour; we have enough good players to see them off tomorrow; as long as we play to our capabilities.[COLOR=#000000:5ccd9189]Next week at Little Snake Mountain will be a different proposition; we will be assured of a very hostile welcome; that’s historical; but again we have enough good players to beat them as well.[COLOR=#000000:5ccd9189]I’m sure Lenny and his staff will have reminded the players of their obligation to give their all in every match; and as long as they do that we will be okay for the rest of the season; onwards and upwards.

The Celtic Supporters Association

The Celtic Supporters Association was the idea of Willie Fanning whose dream became a reality back in September 1944.

These were dark days on and off the pitch with the Second World War still raging and in comparison to those horrors rather more trivialy Celtic were not providing much joy to its supporters and defeat was a regular experience. Indeed the idea of a supporters association came to 27-year-old Willie while watching the Bhoys get thrashed 6-2 at Hamilton.

Willie decided to write to the Daily Record calling on fellow Celtic fans interested in establishing a supporters club to get in touch. A total of 14 people replied. Consequently a meeting was arranged at St Mark's and St Paul's Hall, Chester Street in Shettleston. The meeting proved to be a success - a provisional committee was installed and Willie was elected as President.

By the time of the second meeting at the A.O.H. Hall in Alexandria Parade in Townhead the word had spread. The hall was packed and car loads of supporters from across Glasgow and beyond eager to attend created a traffic jam along the parade.

A constitution was drawn up which allowed the new organosation to become an amalgamation of supporters clubs. Within 12 months membership had rocketed to 700 and the association had won the official endorsement of Celtic FC who handed over the responsibility of distributing match tickets to affiliated branches of the CSA.

The CSA remains a strong and influential body. Apart from following Celtic in massive numbers it has a social club in Glasgow and its annual Supporters Rally is a highlight in the Celtic calendar.

True to the traditions of Celtic FC the CSA also has a proud and continued ethos of raising funds for charity.
