Watch the Father Ryan clip that went viral

Father Ryan Black of St Mirin’s Parish in Paisley added a contribution to the never Ending Banter Years over the weekend.

This time of the ‘season’ is especially busy in the church calendar with Confirmations and First Holy Communions to be arranged and completed.

With football matches now kicking off at 12.30 on a Saturday or 12 noon on Sunday there can be some big decisions to be taken, mobile phone alerts in the church aren’t unknown at this time.

After reading the schools in which the pupils had been confirmed from he said:

It just got me thinking- a new pope, lots of confirmations, first Holy Communions and lots of beautiful weather- you might say that this week is Simply The Best.

Last Sunday at Ibrox 2,000 Celtic fans claimed Tina Turner’s classic song from the eighties, around them 46,000 loyal bears were powerless to react as they lost a song that they held dearly at both of their clubs.

As the teams entered the pitch side by side the PA system played that song with the Celtic fans joyfully claiming it as their trophyless opponents looked on gormlessly in despair.

Over the course of this season Celtic have demolished the myth of being The Most Successful Club in the world and powered on to become champions of Scotland for the 55^th time, none of those titles have been shared with Dumbarton.

Week by week the loyal bears have watched the fictional claims that fuel their superiority clause taken away and dismantled.

Simply The Best again blared out at Ibrox yesterday for the visit of Aberdeen, the reaction from 30,000 home fans was muted at best.

As Barry Ferguson finally won a home match at the sixth attempt it dawned in the bears that had bothered to turn up that The Dons are their only hope of denying Celtic a world record ninth treble, their sixth in nine season.
