1 November, 1995 - Whipping Boy released the album Heartworm.
That was a super Celtic team. All joking aside where did it all go wrong for the SPL? Was it when Setanta went bust? It had been slipping for a while before that?
The Gaelic Athletic Association was founded at 3 p.m. on Saturday, 1 November 1884
One of, if not the, greatest days in our history 
More to do with the money Sky pumped into the EPL around this time, Celtic and Rangers just couldn’t compete financially any longer. The record transfer fee we spent was 6m. In O’Neill’s last couple of seasons we spent about the guts of 2 million on player purchases.
Kevin Barry was hanged by the British on this day 91 years ago.

“It is nothing to give one’s life for Ireland. I’m not the first and maybe I won’t be the last. What’s my life compared with the cause?”

"Just a lad if eighteen summers
and yet no-one can deny
when he walked to death that morning
he proudly held his head up high"
"Turn informer and we’ll kill you.
Kevin Barry answered -no".
“The only message I have for anybody is hold on and stick to the Republic.”
I have a mint condition 1884-1984 GAA shoulder bag that I got for €1 in a car boot sale. It’s without a doubt the best thing I own.
This day 7 years ago I was flying to The City of Angels for the start of a 7 month world tour. Slept with my first prostitute not long after. I’ll try and figure out the date and mark it appropriately on this thread. Please god it coincides nicely with the Estonia game.
Lubomir Moravcik made his Celtic debut on this day in 1998.
“I don’t know what I find more laughable; the fact that Celtic cannot find £500,000 from their biscuit tin to sign a proven talent like John Spencer, or the fact that they then spent £300,000 on one of Dr.Jo’s old pals, the unknown Lubomir Moravcik!”
- Hugh Keevins - Sunday Mail (Nov 1998)
I know it’s a bit sid-esque but I definitely knew him from a Jimmy Magee commentary in Italia 90 ‘Moravick, SkuuraaAAHHVYY, MORAVCIK!!’
When you can confirm said date, I think we should have an annual TFK “Thrawneen’s first hooker fuck” commemoration.
Twenty-two years ago - Having virtually assured qualification by virtue of a 3-0 victory over Ireland at Lansdowne Road five weeks previously, the FAI representative team made mathematically certain that they would play in their first ever major international finals by beating Malta 2-0 in Valetta, John Aldridge scoring his first ever competitive international goials.
Ten years ago - Mick McCarthy’s FAI representative team qualified for the World Cup in Japan and part of Korea with a 1-0 defeat to Iran in Tehran. The injury time goal meant that they lost their first match of the calendar year 2001 with virtually the last play of that calendar year.
5 years ago today, Celtic defeated Manchester United 1-0 at Celtic Park to seal their progression to the last 16 of the Champions League. A stunning trademark Shunsuke Nakamura freekick in the 81st minute was followed by an Artur Boruc penalty save from Louis Saha in the last minute. Rocko was there and I was not. Tomorrow 5 years ago, I tendered my resignation in work such was my rage at their refusal to give me time off to attend the game.
13 years ago today, the great Lubo Moravcik orchestrated Celtic’s 5-1 destruction of the huns only weeks after his arrival at the club when his signing was ridiculed by the Scottish press (see Rocko’s above post).
John Lennon was shot down outside The Dakota Building by Mark David Chapman.
Year please. 1980?
Year please. 1980?
Correct in one. Or two, given your double post.
Some gobshite in here just asked “Is John Lennon dead” another cretin answers “No”.
