Never look back unless you are planning to go that way!

It started with a win and it ended that way against the team we just can’t get enough of beating.
In a year that tested the resolve of many a Celts fan, when first of all we threw away the league by a single point, to the new season start of dropping 15 points behind in careless fashion. Fast forward today from the anniversary of the night when that nice Mr Fawkes did his best to blooter the Lords & Ladies of Westminster into the night sky, we have ourselves now taken command of the SPL & made up 17 points in the process! After registering on Twitter last January I started posting on May 22nd Cup Final day! Since, it’s been a laugh & been serious all rolled into one! The faith is there & it’s ours to keep!
I’d like to thank all of the 3,993 who have followed from the day Neil lifted his first trophy as Celts manager! Along the way I’d like to point out a few people I’ve followed who keep it all going one way or another on Twitter.
@Pmacgiollabhain has kept up the relentless chase on the things Rangers FC wished to hide away. Like a hunter he hunted them! (note those first three letters in preceding words were quite handy there!)   
@Cartujakds is simply the King of funny graphics who brings a smile in Ugly Sister bashing at its best!
@CelticNewsNow are kept up to date with all that is happening when Celtic are mentioned via the media outlets, and a bit more thrown in!
@Rangerstaxcase  have intelligently pursued Rangers affairs with excellent analysis of the state they are in. Like the dug with the bone they don’t give up!
@STVRaman is without doubt the best in delivering sports news with untainted opinion on breaking news! He also delves elsewhere on other topics with humour always around!
On the individual front @Joey7Barton is unrivalled in mentalness!
@unwittinglymine you have a mix of a man whose Celtic heart burst out in sometimes spontaneous late night mad fashion just loving the hoops! A hoot most of the time
@bournesouprecipe you have these considered tweets appearing with Celtic wit which brings a smile!
@paullarkin74 the Green & White writer from New York City via Edinburgh, A beating Celtic mind at all times!

Finally to all the gang down at the Neil Lennon CSC in Greenock. Myself & Frank McAvennie had a fantastico evening down there in November. It will be difficult to beat!
My Twitter will continue to give it straight with no mixer, to what is going on around Celtic from information gained. Not all will agree & that's fine. Better getting it straight than nothing at all!
To all followers, have a safe & happy start to this year with prosperity, luck & good health into 2012. We follow a team who have residency in our hearts. We all beat Celtic & never beat alone. God Bless & be lucky!
