Arctic monkeys bhoys
dal Daily Record

THE Arctic Monkeys have been compared to Oasis in many ways since bursting onto the music scene. And now it seems they have something else in common - a love of watching Celtic.

The Gallagher brothers are long-time fans of the Glasgow football club, and have been seen a few times at Parkhead.

Now it appears their young pretenders from Sheffield are also fans of the Hoops.

The Arctic Monkeys are in Scotland later this month for the Shockwaves NME tour and are desperate to get to a game.

A friend of the band told the Razz: "Any time they visit Glasgow it seems to be the day before or just after a game.

"They do have a soft spot for Celtic because one of the guys they tour with is a big fan. If there is a way they can make a they will be disappointed.

They band will join Maximo Park, We Are Scientists, and Mystery Jets at Glasgow's Carling Academy on Friday, January 27 and the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh the next night.

Celtic take on Dundee United at Parkhead on the Saturday but it looks like the band's schedule will be too tight for them to make the game.

The Monkeys - Alex Turner, Andy Nicholson, Matt Helders and guitarist Jamie Cook - are football daft and have even been known to play keepie-uppie backstage.

anche i Fratellis !!!!!!!
dal sito ufficiale del club:

EVERY Celtic goal at home is now greeted with a burst from the song ‘Chelsea Dagger’ by top Scottish band The Fratellis.

And for the band’s bass player, Barry Fratelli, it doesn’t get much better than that. Celtic fan Barry popped into Paradise recently for an exclusive interview with the Celtic View and you can read his thoughts on all things Celtic in this week’s issue.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rod Stewart is bringing a taste of Scotland to concert arenas across North America early next year.

A glimpse of the rehearsals for his tour revealed that tartan drapes will ring the circular stage, while the four-leaf clover logo for Stewart's beloved Celtic Football Club will be emblazoned across the floor of a raised platform.

Jim Kerr dei Simple Minds, che da molti anni vive a Taormina è stato per alcuni anni un attivo supporter della locale squadra di calcio, ribattezzata Celtic Taormina in onore dei verdi scozzesi di cui Kerr è grandissimo tifoso.
Il logo della squadra appare anche su un disco dei Simple Minds.
Inoltre ha sponsorizzato anche la squadra femminile di volley, che ovviamente ha preso lo stesso nome.

RIP James Maley veterano della Guerra Civile Spagnola
dal sito dell'independent

James Maley
Spanish Civil War veteran
Published: 18 April 2007
James Maley, labourer and political activist: born Glasgow 19 February 1908; married 1949 Anne Watt (four sons, five daughters); died Glasgow 9 April 2007.

James Maley was captured during the Battle of Jarama in February 1937 when the Spanish Republic rebuffed a ferocious attempt to encircle Madrid which had been launched by General Francisco Franco's rebel army.

As a volunteer in the International Brigades, Maley expected to be executed immediately. Indeed, Franco issued a proclamation soon afterwards saying that any foreigners captured under arms would be shot. The edict was not carried out in the case of the captured Britons thanks to a stiff note sent by HM Government which, despite its distaste for the International Brigaders, reminded Franco of his obligations under the Geneva Convention. In addition, Benito Mussolini put pressure on Franco to use the prisoners to negotiate exchanges for Italian soldiers being held by the Republicans.

Maley and the other prisoners were later paraded before newsreel cameras. Franco also decided to stage a show trial. A military court in Salamanca in May 1937 found the men guilty of "aiding a military rebellion" - they had, of course, been fighting on the side of a democratically elected government and against a Fascist-backed military uprising - and Maley was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment.

News of the capture had not reached Maley's mother in Scotland, who feared the worst for her son's fate. However, footage of the captive Britons was screened in cinemas around the country as part of a British Movietone News broadcast. By chance, she was among those who watched it and was so relieved to see that, contrary to expectations, her son was alive that she asked the projectionist in a cinema in Paisley to cut out two frames of the newsreel.

She kept the pictures as a memento until his return home soon after the trial as part of a prisoner exchange involving the British prisoners and a similar number of the Italian troops sent by Mussolini to assist Franco's rebellion.

Maley, from the Calton district of Glasgow, was one of 500 volunteers from Scotland (out of a total of 2,300 from the British Isles) who enlisted with the International Brigades to defend the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War. He arrived in Spain in December 1936, five months after the start of the war, and joined the newly formed British Battalion. The Battle of Jarama saw the battalion in action for the first time. It suffered horrendous losses as it resisted Franco's attempt to cut the main road from Madrid to Valencia. Out of the 500 who advanced towards enemy positions on 12 February 1937 near Morata de Tajuña, 125 were killed and a similar number injured. Maley was one of the 30 members of the machine-gun company who were captured.

The British volunteers, who had received only basic training beforehand, faced Franco's crack troops: the foreign legionnaires and Moors of the Army of Africa which Nazi German transport planes had ferried from Spanish Morocco to the mainland. Maley, who had served in the British Territorial Army in the early 1930s, later recalled the confusion of the battalion's advance while Spanish Republican units were in retreat:

After 200 yards going forward, the retreat was coming back and going down past us and we were going through. There were soldiers running past us and we were going up. And there were soldiers of the British Battalion dropping as we were going up. Without firing a shot they were getting killed.

In fact Maley nearly avoided capture after his machine-gun company found themselves stranded in no-man's land on what was named by the surviving volunteers as "Suicide Hill". They hid among the olive groves for two days before finally being taken prisoner by the Fascists. They were initially mistaken for Russians. "Somebody shouted, 'Inglés?' " Maley recalled. "If it hadn't been for that we would have been shot one at a time."

The story of Maley's capture and the strange way that the family found out that he was still alive inspired a play written by two of his sons, John and Willy, entitled From the Calton to Catalonia. It was first performed in December 1990 in the Lithgow Theatre, Glasgow.

One of a family of six, Maley left school to help his mother, Anne Sherlock, a hawker, wheel her barrow around Glasgow. In 1929, following the death of his father, he emigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, where he worked briefly in a car factory, but returned to Scotland the next year, homesick and disillusioned by American attitudes to immigrants. In 1932, aged 24, he joined the Communist Party and became a familiar public speaker at Glasgow Green and Govan denouncing the rise of Fascism in Europe and the inequalities and social injustice which the economic slump had exacerbated in Britain.

After his repatriation from Spain, Maley gave in to his mother's pleading for him not to return to the International Brigades and face certain death if he were recaptured. He continued to speak on public platforms, campaigning for an end to the British government's non-intervention and its refusal to sell arms to the Spanish Republic until its eventual defeat in 1939.

In 1941 he enlisted with the King's Own Scottish Borderers, then the Highland Light Infantry, serving in Burma and India. After the Second World War, he worked in Maryhill Barracks as a telephone operator until demob in 1947. He was then employed for the next 12 years laying tracks for British Railways and afterwards as a building labourer for Glasgow Corporation. Astonishingly for a father of nine, he remained politically active as a lifelong Communist, trade unionist and tenants' association campaigner.

Maley was an avid fan of Glasgow Celtic and two 30ft-long banners were unfurled in his honour at Hampden Park on Saturday during the cup-tie against St Johnstone. Quoting the slogan used by the defenders of Madrid during the Spanish Civil War, "They shall not pass," the banners said: "James Maley RIP. No pasarán".

SUPER DARIO FRANCHITTI
INDIANAPOLIS (Stati Uniti) - Uno scozzese dal nome italiano ha dominato ieri la 91ma edizione delle 500 miglia. Dario Franchitti e' stato il piu' veloce e si e' piazzato davanti al neozelandese Scott Dixon e al brasiliano Helio Castroneves. Al 113esimo giro la corsa e' stata fermata a causa di un nubifragio: ripresa dopo tre ore, la gara si e' chiusa al termine del 165esimo giro - sui 200 previsti - perche' stava per imperversare una nuova perturbazione.

paolo nutini
«E pensare che quelli del Celtic di Glasgow, la mia squadra del cuore, mi hanno chiesto un anno fa di fare un provino per loro» ha raccontato Paolo Nutini, 20 anni, stella emergente del cantautorato pop-rock d’autore britannico, ai vertici delle classifiche in patria grazie al sorprendente cd di debutto These streets. «La proposta mi ha lusingato, ma ho declinato l’invito. Sono più bravo a cantare».
Scozzese dalle chiare origini italiane («mio bisnonno viene da Barga, in provincia di Lucca, e in Toscana sono sempre venuto in vacanza con i miei»), Nutini possiede una voce simil-blues che graffia, suona spontaneo e credibile, anche dal vivo (e chi l’ha visto nell’ottobre scorso al Rainbow lo può testimoniare!), e ha un sogno: «Scrivere canzoni belle come quelle di Jeff Buckley, il mio idolo. Un angelo...».

Lost and Celtic




Ieri stavo guardando una puntata della terza serie di Lost.

Si vede lo scozzese Desmond, uno dei protagonisti, che in un flashback si reca a casa della ex fidanzata, abbandonata pochi giorni prima del matrimonio in seguito ad una crisi spirituale.

La ragazza gli dice "Nella tua vita, l'unica cosa che si avvicini a qualcosa di mistico è stata quando il Celtic ha vinto la Coppa"

Nello stesso episodio, Desmond ubriaco canticchia un inno del Celtic.

ancora Trapatthony sui bhoys
Trapattoni: Donati can lift Celtic to new level

tribalfooball.com - July 09, 2007

Italian super coach Giovanni Trapattoni says Massimo Donati can take Celtic to a new level next season.

Now in charge of Red Bull Salzburg, Trapattoni said: "They are up there near the very top of European football, on a par with the Italian, English and Spanish sides. I definitely think they can go to the quarter-final stage. They reached the last 16 last year and only lost to a great team like AC Milan.

"Massimo was one of the best players at youth level in the national team," he said. "I knew about him eight years ago and he was always very impressive. He is a good personality and is still young enough to do well with Celtic. He can play confidently and has everything needed to succeed in the Scottish game.

"Why did it not work out for him at AC Milan? He was not a big star. In football you have fantasy players, the creative ones, but Massimo is the kind of player I was: he is solid, like concrete, and that is what is needed in Scotland."

notizia vecchia di venti giorni , ma merita egualmente
da "qn"

Da vero fedelissimo il cantante scozzese, saputo la difficoltà della squadra di Glasgow a trovare un impianto in vista di alcune amichevoli a Londra e negli States, non ci ha pensato due volte ed ah aperto i cancelli della sua faraonica villa di Epping

Rod Steward Londra, 1 agosto 2007 - E' il gesto di un fedelissimo innamorato della sua squadra quello compiuto dal cantante Rod Stewart nei confronti del Celtic Glasgow.



Secondo quanto si apprende dalle pagine del "London Lite", l'artista britannico avrebbe infatti offerto alla compagine l'uso degli impianti sportivi che detiene nella sua lussuosa proprieta' di Epping (periferia londinese), rispondendo quindi all'esigenza della squadra di trovare un campo di allenamento dove preparare la prossima tournee' agonistica programmata negli Stati Uniti.



La conferma dell'invito e' giunta da una persona vicina alla star: "Il Celtic aveva bisogno di un terreno dove allenarsi in vista della trasferta negli Usa. Si stava pero' rivelando non facile trovare qualcosa nei dintorni di Londra". Stewart, grande tifoso del Celtic anche in virtu' delle sue origini scozzesi, si diletta ancora a giocare a livello dilettantistico a dispetto dei suoi 62 anni.

Ho sempre pensato che fossero australiani e invece... Angus e Malcolm Young, chitarristi degli AC/DC sono nati in quel di Glasgow e sono dei Bhoys.
