The Freddie Glidden Cup Final


dannymack

Recommended Posts

In response to the unfortunate passing of Billy McNeil where Hugh Keevins has nominated on Celtics behalf to name the final for them the Billy McNeil final. 

 

For us, our club captain who lifted the cup in 1956 suffered the same ******* disease as Billy McNeil and left us on New Year's Day.

 

Not a point scoring thread nor I hope for anyone to misunderstand my point as a disrespectful one, just poignant for us just as much for them.

I completely agree with that, especially the bit about not making it point scoring. Billy McNeill was a total legend and JKB has shown total appreciation on the Billy McNeill RIP thread.

 

Freddie Glidden is a Hearts legend not least for lifting the cup in 56. Both legends should be shown the respect they deserve.

 

Keevins on the other hand.........

I hear what you are saying but let's make it about the 11 on the park in maroon.

 

Glidden and McNeill have had their glory, time for new heroes.

Agreed. And while not intended as point scoring  it would be seen as such - after all no-one had suggested the "Freddie Glidden final" before. And great Hearts man as he was he doesn't rate in the pantheon of Scottish players with McNeill. Or even as a club legend with us equivalent to McNeill's status with Celtic.

Let the press call it what they want. Celtic will rightly celebrate McNeill for the rest of the season and we can't stop that.

 

As an aside I think all of Scottish football should celebrate his achievements this weekend at every game.

I agree but you just know the weejia will be falling over themselves now to call it the McNeill final. Glidden will not be mentioned.

Correct, on hindsight I should have added to my opening thread your sentiments.

Couldn't agree more.

Here's hoping the 11 take a leaf out of FG's book and trump those in green.

If people felt it was necessary (which I don't) then there is plenty scope to remember both Scottish football legends before the Cup Final.

The quote from Keevins says "for Celtic". Doesn't say for everyone. 

 

It would be good to highlight two club legends leading up to final. No point scoring involved. I would be happy to see Billy McNeill celebrated leading up to the final. 

 

Doesn't change us going there to win it.

They called the last one the salt and sauce final. 

I didnt. I won’t call this one the Billy McNeil final either.

No disrespect but I’m hoping for a bubble burst final.

**** Celtic and their media chums in particular Hugh ******* Keevins, to give him his full name

Was only a matter of time before someone came out with the 'Billy McNeill Final Pish'.   I always find this sort of thing an insult to the game and to the opponents.  Like they have some sort of divine right to claim the game even before it starts.

The one trying to score points is Keevins!

Freddie Glidden is more relevant to the final than Billy. He actually played in, and captained us, the last time we met, and beat them, in the final. .

In the mind of the likes of Keevin only Celtic players exist!
