Took My wife and daughter to sunny Berwick Upon Tweed today. I wasn't really feeling up to it. I'm the driver so I agreed to take them, on condition they bought me a football (my daughter's lurcher killed my last ball!).
Berwick is a beautiful walled town, and was reputed to be the richest sea port in Scotland at one time. Although, claimed by the English, the town was once the seat of Scottish kings. The best approach to the town is from the west (Chirnside route). From the side of Hallydon Hill, Berwick can be seen nestling by the mouth of the silvery Tweed. Lots to say about Berwick, it's walls, pier, quaysides, bridges, buildings, beaches, and friendly people!
We visited the sports shop, as agreed! My eye caught the new Celtic away jersey (official release midnight tonight!). One XXL jersey duly purchased for a knock-down £31.99!
Midnight tonight is also the close of the football transfer window. Celtic have done brilliantly in the transfer market, signing Jan Venegoor of Hesselink and Thomas Graveson, and selling Stillian Petrov for £8 million.
Celtic old bhoys Martin O'Neill (Aston Villa) and Roy Keane (Sunderland)will no doubt be after more Celts before the end of the day. Keane reportedly wants our captain Neil Lennon, as well as Ross Wallace, Stephen Pearson, and Stan Varga.
We are being linked with Wayne Bridge (Chelsea) and Kromkamp (Liverpool), as well as Hartley (Hearts) and Hibernian pair Brown and Thompson.
I hope we keep Lennon and Pearson! I hope we sign at least one experienced central defender!
More to follow
Onward Celtic!
