More like it Acsom with Tony Roper a brilliant comedic talent and writer who sums up everything that is great about working class Scots making a success. These podcasts really are about the broader working class culture of great Scottish figures and the stories from Roper were so entertaining. These pods are about Scottish culture so thanks for doing them.
This is great, as a Fifer who grew up in a coal mining family, it was interesting to hear Tony recount his memories working in Bowhill. What a Celtic family we are, makes me very proud. Keep this great show going. Love and respect to all, ye ken like.
Listening to Tony Roper is a delight; his candid manner, devoid of any pretense, a great ambassador for Celtic. I could listen to his stories for hours and only wish it lasted longer....... Not on a bum note!
The "Coronation Cup Song," associated with Celtic Football Club, was written by the Irish folk singer and songwriter Glen Daly. The song celebrates Celtic's victory in the 1953 Coronation Cup, a football tournament held to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Celtic won the tournament by defeating Hibernian in the final, and the song commemorates that achievement. Glen Daly was known for his love of Celtic and also famously performed the "Celtic Song," which became an anthem for the club.
Bartholomew Francis McGovern .. Glasgow Irish and Proud ..Darn the hell do we care for we only know that there's going be a show and the Glasgow Celtic will be there Hail Hail
Brilliant chat Paul John . Tony Roper really has a wealth of wonderful stories to tell and of course he has the greatest gift of all and that is A Celtic State Of Mind. Hail Hail 🏴🇮🇪
Im now living in yorkshire. but born and bred in Anderston st vincent street Glasgow and remember my dad telling me about Roddy Mcmillan living near us. and the singer Donavan? I miss the old days. this interveiw with tony has been magic. thankyou Acsom.
Tony is surely up there with greatest comedians and entertainers Scotland ever produced; from Rikki Fulton, Jack Milroy, Robbie Coltrane, Gregor Fisher, Big Yin, Stanley Baxter. Folk rant and rave about Still Game and the likes, but they're not a patch on Rab C - series 1-6. The best Scottish sitcom for me, absolutely timeless! Cheers for the laughs, Tony, Hail Hail! 💚
Brilliant interview, Acsom absolutely smashing it out the park, none of us are perfect and in this modern age we are so quick to bring people down and slaughter them. Neil Lennon is Celtic to the core, He would give his all for Celtic and that should be good enough.
I have always liked and admired Neil Lennon and I always will be. Anyway, like the rest of us, Tony knows that a percentage of supporters within Celtic are absolutely entitled fannies - I call them the boo bhoys - if a pass goes astray, they are shouting the building down, constantly berating etc. It is one of the reasons I gave up my season tickets, due to the negativity and all the shouting of obscenities when I was in Parkhead with my children. (I regret it now, obviously).
This man was our local legend during Rab C. Halloween in Hogganfield was awesome because of Him and his wife when I was a nipper in the early 90s, trick or treating at Tony's was tell a joke or sing a song 😂 they where so nice and so generous 💚🍀💚
I am only leaving just the small tip, because I need to save the rest of my pocket money for the Tommy statue (not Sheridan), and perhaps enough change for an Irn Bru and a Macaroon Bar! I watched the morning podcast, Jim Orr his usual worst critic, you were most certainly not a passenger, but also why would you not want to just listen to Tony. There is people who would buy that chair from you. All three hosts were great at prompting and poking, this could have been a three hour show! You have to watch to the end, I almost pished myself for the fifth time. What a legend Tony, incredible stories. These shows are top three for me now in great TV behind Gone Fishing with Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse and W/ Iona. Please keep Jim at an end seat, everyone wants that side view of the glorious mullet. 😍
I was ah Celtic supporter for half a game😮 .. went to Park heed 1972 league cup 0.0. Wee Jimmy got sent off , Celtic won the re play @ Pitodrie 1 o Billy Mac scored from ah header In the last minute. Yi see I was & still am ah Don's fan , mi best pal Waa Celtic daft & he convinced me to come & see the hoops ,I was 12 -13 , abdn was already in my heart (still is ) fist half CELTIC second , back to the Dandies , I really like the hoops but I love the Don's mare. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢I 😢😢😢😢😢
I was a a few parties in Jimmy mgrorys house we where friends of her school pals jimmy had the match ball from the coronation cup in a glass dome on his sideboard
Tony Roper, a legend in Rab C but he also played a small but very significant part in The Wicker Man, a classic and cult movie. Sadly Tony’s part was cut from the original film and only restored much later in the. Directors Cut version. Would love to hear Tony talk about the making of that film and how he got the part.
@@ACelticStateOfMind Thanks for that, I’m not surprised as his part (as a postman) was savagely cut from the film originally along with other important scenes. No wonder he wasn’t a fan.
Fabulous. I'm from Craignuek in Wishaw and great to see the bhoys wearing Tommy Gemmell shirts. A walk is being done from Craignuek to Celtic park on Oct 19th to raise more funds to get the statue erected. It's a beautiful cause. HH LADS 🍀

Glen Daly was born in Glasgow.
Cheers for that, it'll be played in my house shortly!

Danny McGrain was the best right back I ever saw and not just Celtic’s🇮🇪🍀
Loved that watched every minute. Will be donating for both statues to be erected. Shame on the club for not doing it themselves.
Brilliant interview, Acsom absolutely smashing it out the park, none of us are perfect and in this modern age we are so quick to bring people down and slaughter them. Neil Lennon is Celtic to the core, He would give his all for Celtic and that should be good enough.
Could listen to Tony for hours
The Jimmy McGrory statue should be at Celtic Park, he wanted to stay with us so that's where it should be
That was a great watch..just brilliant

Great podcast! Great hearing about Danny have been privileged to have been in his company a few times! Jamesy Bhoy is not bad as well HH 🍀

I've commented recently about Lennys treatment after 10inaR, this just cements my comments on what a true Celtic legend he is 💚🍀💚
I used to see Lennon in tenants in Byers road. I never spoke to him but I saw him posing for pictures and just being a regular guy enjoying a pint
another brilliant Friday podcast again ACSOM.The Neil Lennon stories were great.
Tony is great craic, and a great Celtic man!
Lovely story about Neil Lennon, his wife and their generosity of spirit.
Absolutely tremendous episode, very funny.
Brilliant series, brilliant guests. Keep them coming Paul John 🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️

This was a brilliant episode!
A great listen👏👏💚⚽💚⚽One Neil Lennon💚⚽💚⚽

We spoke about that off camera but Tony wasn’t a massive fan of the movie.
@@ACelticStateOfMind Thanks for that, I’m not surprised as his part (as a postman) was savagely cut from the film originally along with other important scenes. No wonder he wasn’t a fan.
i remember my dad telling me about the coronation cup 1953, he told us the whole country wanted that prize.
That another great pod love this we shows get a great laugh they are pick me ups only a young 66 just love CELTIC HH DUBLIN
Saw Tony once at CP standing in Celtic end in the late 80s. Top bhoy 👍
I love these interviews. Much better than the daily boring patter 😜😘
🤣 variety is the spice of life.
It’s fascinating to hear these stories.
@@ACelticStateOfMind take a bow with the interview series as it’s been tremendous 😎
Love both, listen to ACSOM every day of the week. Love it 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Fantastic
Brilliant bhoys Neil Lennon legend hail hail
Neil Lennon is now a hero. Even though we all wanted rid of him
Great show lads love Tony's story 's😂
Fantastic Chat Gentlemen
I’m 15 minutes in…never seen Jim so quiet!
How about a follow up podcast with Tony Roper reminiscing about on his acting career alongside Gregor Fisher aka Rab C Nesbitt…..???
Brilliant lads gŕeat stories

Jamesy!
Jim looked well impressed at the end 😏
Was it Dukla Pumperston Sawmill Antanery, pardon the spelling, on the cassettes?
That’s what I remember George.
Those comedy writers were unreal.
I always thought the Coronation Cup song was written by 'Mick Garngad'.
Get Sean Combs of Garryowen on
Mind regularly seeing Tony standing in the Celtic end, great show but having an embarrassment like Sheridan on kills it for me.
You are correct,Sheridan is an apology for a man
This won’t be popular but Tony Roper didn’t seem to have much time for Jim Orr. Was Tony a Kellys and Whites sympathiser?
Thought the opposite to you, especially during the very last story
