    hi everyone
    Just saying hello
    User name saying eastend boy,not really a boy ,as much as a man as I will be.
    Supported Celtic since,I don’t know,about 6-7 got a season ticket and go to as many games as I can.
    Not in the best of health,(don’t do drink or drugs kids,not good for you)but supporting my team gives me a great buzz.
    This is the last generation of my family that are Celtic supporters,all the rest are dead and buried including my uncle who introduced me to the Celtic family,my mum and aunt used to work as waitresses at a restaurant where Celtic players and staff went and would bring me home autographs on * packets and napkins of people like mcgrain ,Lennox,hood,etc,don’t have them now but the memories are strong.
    In my professional life i have done work that brings me into contact with ex players and people in the game and regardless of what most people think at the end of the day regardless of their leanings they are just people like you and me,I know everybody is not like that but the ones I have dealings with have always been pleasant enough (including nacho novo!!!)
    Hoping to introduce my granddaughter into the Celtic family,but health wise I don’t know how long I’ve got,I’ll keep going as long as I possibly can.
    Anyway that’s all for now and i look forward to posting in the forum.

    Cheers derek

    Am from easterhouse mate
    All the rest of the family as I said are dead and buried, the ones that are still alive are of a different persuion.
    And no I don't fire blanks but my natural children don't take much to do with me
    Regarding the team I can't say anymore than what has been said in all the forums, that we look pish and could be doing with an injection of new signings but what happens there is down to lawell, wether he backs Brendan or not.
    Personally I can't understand why the board aren't backing the manager after what he has done for the club, I know his signings in defence haven't been great but what he has brought to the club in the time he has been here far outweighs the neglect the scouting for better players or the boards ineptitude to sanction better players is causing us to regress rather than go forward as we should.

    What difference does it make wether it’s boy or bhoy.
    I’m a Celtic supporter, to me that’s all it’s about ,if boy is an issue then tough,I’m an eastend boy born and bred and don’t have any qualms about that,it’s never held me back in life.
    It used to be when i was young coming from the east end of Glasgow was seen a bad thing,I grew up when there was gangs roaming the streets and people died and fights were regular occurrences with violence,not saying the violence isn’t there anymore but i still live in easterhouse and it doesn’t have the same feel now as what it had in the 70s and 80s,granted there are still aresholes here but you get that anywhere these days.
    For the most part these days it’s a lot better than it was all those years ago,it’s still not great or the best place in Glasgow but being from the east end these days doesn’t carry the same stigma as it used to do.
    My user name is just that,an introduction to who i am and where I’m from ,it’s nothing to do with how I support the team I follow.
