Why
not! It looks to be becoming more and more popular, achievable and
manageable for the likes of me. Also, I'm in lockdown (like everyone
else) and need to keep up with getting words down on to paper due to Uni being suspended
and really need a hobby. In reference to the latter, is this the
one? Finally, I am a 40 something year old, Glasgow Celtic fan who really
has limited options to get my views, feelings and opinions out for some good
old football chat!
I’m
a happily married man with 2 young girls.
Sincerely very lucky, but no scope for much football chat here. I work in an industry where men are heavily
outnumbered. I’m cool with that, never
been an issue. Until such days like one
a while ago where I needed to discuss matters around my club’s manager leaving
for a club rich in cash only. A club who
play in a league dripping in finance, that has pretty much ruined football – in
my opinion! My colleague’s response in
my desperation and stupidity to get some form of emotion and share tons of
disapproval (putting it lightly) was just ‘So!’. Should have known better!
Married
life is good. I have absolutely no complaints, even though the cash flow is not
going in the same direction that the younger carefree me used to send it. I love my wife and 2 young girls to the moon
and back (our wee saying). It looks like
the oldest at 6 years old may not take to football – ‘I’m a girly girl dad and
a dancer ppffft’. I say ‘may’, as I live
in hope. The youngest at 4 years old is
thankfully staking a claim for the household’s very reasonably priced, 2nd
season ticket. Much to her Grandfathers
pride too. What a shame her claim and
desperation to go more often has come under lockdown. A time that I have no doubt, once resumed,
will be the second greatest achievement in the club’s history. A very close second to the world famous
Lisbon Lions achievement.
However,
I do question numero duo’s desire could be the pull of chips, sweets, juice,
Grandad, Uncles and hanging out with her big Cousin. I assume much to his annoyance, as he really
is getting into his football big time and doesn’t need his wee cousin to cramp
his style. What a time to start your
Celtic supporting life, eh? Not really
the best time for your wee cousin to be asking about Spiderman or Hulk, just to
sound cool and get in with you.
I
guess time will tell with her legitimate claims when we all get to see Celtic
again, which I believe and have every faith will be just before the run in to
seal 10 in a row.
Hope
that’s not been too hard of a read. Just
wanted to use it as a springboard on to bigger and more interesting things.
Till
the next time. Hail! Hail!
