Be grateful it wasn’t HCN you were on. That cures your hangover problems-but not in a good way!!!

Timing mate, you couldn’t rise above your resentment to celebrate one of the great days in Celtic’s history, the song book debate has been going on for as long as I can remember, perhaps you sang those song as a young man perhaps not but for guys in our generation to try and withhold the rights of passage that we all went through as Celtic supporters from the current young team isn’t right in my opinion.
It’s easy too be offended when ye’ve shot yer bolt and middle age is inescapable:))
Enjoy yer trip!
Saint Stivs, which one are you?? :))

” If suggesting that singing IRA songs is not a good thing makes me a roaster then a roaster I am.”
Are you being obtuse or do you really not see that VFR was talking of the TIMING of your post?

“A poppy is a flowering plant in the subfamily Papaveroideae of the family Papaveraceae. ”
I disagree.

I fear the cooking practice of roasting is being unfairly maligned.
Good Morning One and All from a grey but pleasant Stirlingshire.
The oul affliction continues to leave me wabbit and I confess to falling asleep during the game yesterday!!
Still not seen it all but such is life.
Now, anyone flying on the 07:35 from Edinburgh tomorrow should remember to be there Brrrrrrright and early!
Aye, and for those who gave me their passport details which stated that their passport runs out on the 27th of May (I will give everyone a clue — he is an oul geezer from Grangemouth who can sometimes be found in The Blane Valley) you get an outside seat!!!
Thank feck BT managed to get me and tell me that this was a mistake as I was making emergency preparations for a new passport for my elderly and somewhat dotty “uncle” who hadn’t check the passport expiry details!
I had started to think “Bugger me — we can get the old galoot out to Lisbon but we can’t get him back! He will have to be left behind just like his banner was 50 years ago!”
Everyone should have boarding passes and all that kind of stuff.
And a huge big thank you to Friesdorfer who has been invaluable in helping me with printed programmes and information sheets.
We have a full go ahead for the big street party in Pink Street after the stadium visit and there should be twitter and facebook messages aplenty about this.
Mass at 11:00 am in the Basilica of Our Lady and the Martyrs is just about sorted with readings, hymns and all that sort of thing though we may need some Eucharistic Ministers, and the dinner list (over 350 now attending) is done.
Time to dot the I’s, cross the T’s — and do a lot of singing and smiling methinks!!

Indeed. The poppy isn’t a mere flower – how unpatriotic.
It is a symbol of our heroins…

How come I used to get called a wee tarrier ****, tattie munching @@@@@@@, taig xxxx because of my Celtic top, we all have our own Celtic, there is no hatred in my Celtic but a lot of the songs I can identify through my family, both grandfathers hounded by the black n tans, as a very wee Bhoy I couldn’t understand why one Saturday of the year my mother was so agitated she wouldn’t let me wear the hoops, want to know why, grown men would growl and spit at me, don’t worry that soon stopped, my nephews and my daughter will be told the same stuff that my parents told me, if you don’t like the songs don’t sing them, but telling others what to do, away and fling shoite at the moon….. Let the people sing, their stories and their songs
If your Celtic is different from mine fair enough, at least we both must be loving these times fellow Tim :-)
BRTH = Morning, glad your on the mend, any update on the Polo shirt collection?

Personally,I’m in favour of most of our songbook,even the proscribed ones. They celebrate victories and defeats,whether on or off the park,and the worthy and glorious at the heart of them.
When we start singing songs of hatred,then I’ll be worried. But there are songs which are best kept for less public occasions.
Aye,our detractors are a hypocritical shower of shit,a deaf ‘un turned whenever their own team is up to their knees in it,but why provide them with the ammo to use against us?
Anyway,I suspect a few of those proscribed songs will be getting an airing in Lisbon. Bring it on!
Appeasement doesn’t work.
Bitching and moaning about the song book is futile, the problem lies with thems who are offended, not the kids who support Celtic, the more we are shunted to the back of the bus, the more rabid they will become.
Instead of bending over and asking to be shafted, direct your ire at those who are causing the problems in the first place and not at your own.
ROBINBHOY on 22ND MAY 2017 9:19 AM
It’s all about timing. The song debate has a time and a place. IMHO, the few hours after such a magnificent achievement was not the time for you, Kev or Althetim to start with the moaning and criticism – that was my main point!
Enjoy your trip.

Morning Celtic folk,IRA songsters,pyro artistes,and never-happy-unless-moaning-about-somethingers.
Had an ok day yesterday.It would have been perfect but for the unBritish sentiment expressed by those noisy ne’erdowells who continuously interrupt proceedings with their singing and dancing and causing atmosphere shenanigans.Total embarrassment so they are.Don’t they realise the establishment and their acolytes,with their phantom decency and barely concealed contempt for everything that isn’t ‘them’,will be upset at such behaviour?No matter how happy with your own identity one is you should always remember to bow to those who know better and tell us how to act.There’ll be masons,bigots,huns,UKIPers,and fake upstanding citizens absolutely disusted at all IRA and diddly dee nonsense witnessed yesterday.Time to know our place again timmys.

Not quite decided yet. I am awaiting the call to say that they are in and then will get into town.
Thinking between 1pm and 3pm in the BV or somewhere like that.
THEEXILEDTIM
Yep. Spot on.
If we sang the national anthem,we’d be accused of deliberately spoiling it.
I actually thought yesterday was momentous.The Green Brigade were even better than normal and their tifo was magnificent.Thank Buddha for them.
The game itself was secondary to the occasion but wee Padraig was just a joy to watch,I still consider football as entertainment and this bhoy’s box office.Everytime he gets the ball I get that wee buzz only truly special players give you.Paddy,oh won’t you stay-ay,just a little bit long-ge-er.
Re McCann and the welcome he got.I understand we haven’t got much time for him but he should be ignored.I can’t help thinking by showering abuse (attention) on him we give him a status he doesn’t deserve.Nobody’s should be met with disinterested silence.
Apart from that everything is timtastic and Saturday can’t come quick enough.
HAIL HAIL
Wee special hello to Catherine.Enjoy the final ma wee fenian friend. ;) x
Only negative for me yesterday was the awful Sky coverage. Other than that, everything was tip top!
Distant Shore
(Billy Bragg)
Everyone knows that theres no place like home
Im just seeking refuge in a world full of storms
Washed up on a distant shore, cant go home anymore
The natives are hostile whatever I say
The thing they fear most is I might want to stay
By their side on a different shore, cant go home anymore
I escape my tormentors by crossing the sea
What I cannot escape is the memory
Washed up on a distant shore, cant go home anymore
Everyone knows that theres no place like home
Im just seeking refuge in a world full of storms
Washed up on a distant shore, cant go home anymore
Washed up on a distant shore, cant go home anymore
Washed up on a distant shore, cant go home anymore
If you haven’t heard the Karan Casey version of this I urge all you young rebels to seek it out:))
Undefeated in more ways than one Celtic FC
BRTH – Thanks J, going to be out and about so could you text me please when things are finalised

History has shown that appeasement doesn’t work, it never has and it never will.
The Irish-Catholics in scotland have gotten to where they are today by standing up to the bigots, our forefathers would be turning in their graves at the thought of appeasing them.
Enjoy Lisbon mi amigo.

Watched the match again when I got home yesterday. The coverage from SKY was so poor it’s genuinely embarrassing. The sound quality seemed turned down, in no way did it reflect the atmosphere at the match. The commentators are just repetitive and boring, using the same two folk over and over does nothing for the coverage. Crocker is like a broken record and Walker is just plain bad. As for Tanner and McCann, incompetent, biased, smarmy gits. And cutting the coverage before the lap of honour just summed it all up.

Celtic hero Stevie Chalmers beat killer illness on way to becoming legend By Ronnie Esplin
Celtic hero Stevie Chalmers was given three weeks to live years before scoring the winning goal in the European Cup final, a BBC documentary has revealed.
Chalmers was 20 when he contracted tuberculosis meningitis and was given no chance of survival.
But 12 years later the forward, who is now aged 81, scored Celtic’s second goal in their 2-1 win over Inter Milan in Lisbon as Jock Stein’s team became the first British side to win Europe’s elite trophy.
Chalmers’ story is told alongside those of his team-mates in ‘Glasgow 1967: The Lisbon Lions’, which will be screened to mark the 50th anniversary of Celtic’s greatest triumph next week.
The Glaswegian was diagnosed in 1955 when he was a budding footballer with Kirkintilloch Rob Roy.
Dr Dermot Kennedy told the programme: “Tuberculosis meningitis was the deadliest disease in Glasgow ever, 100 per cent fatality at that time. It was a terrible disease.”
As fellow patients died around him in hospital, Chalmers was given pioneering treatment by Dr Peter McKenzie.
“It was a miracle cure,” Dr Kennedy said. “It was not believed that people could survive tuberculosis meningitis and Stevie Chalmers was one of the very first in Scotland.”
Natalie Chalmers, a granddaughter of the Lisbon Lion, said: “I suppose getting tuberculosis and realising he was actually near death was what spurred him on to be the footballer he was, and the passion he has shows that.”
Chalmers joined Celtic in 1959 and his late goal in Lisbon on May 25, 1967, remains the most famous in the club’s history.
The BBC documentary features interviews with the likes of Jim Craig, Bertie Auld, John Clark, Bobby Lennox and Willie Wallace, as well as family members of other Lions, and supporters who made the 2,000-mile trip to Portugal.
The hour-long programme, which weaves the social history of Glasgow into the sporting story, will be shown on BBC One Scotland at 9pm next Wednesday and at 11.15pm on BBC One elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Leigh Griffiths has “apologised sincerely” for his substitution strop at Firhill on Thursday night, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers revealed.
The Hoops striker was far from happy with his gaffer when replaced by Scott Sinclair just after the hour mark in the 5-0 Ladbrokes Premiership win over Partick Thistle, having opened the scoring with a first-half penalty.
Ulsterman Rodgers empathised with Griffiths’ frustration and stressed that he has a massive part to play at the Parkhead club while reminding him that he will not tolerate any dressing room upset.
Rodgers and his skipper Scott Brown were yesterday presented with their respective Ladbrokes Premiership manager and player of the year awards at the club’s Lennoxtown training complex.
Rodgers said: “He apologised sincerely for his reaction.”
The champions will be presented with the league trophy against Hearts tomorrow before they start preparing for the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen at Hampden the following week.
Celtic are unbeaten in 45 domestic games this season and are on 103 points – equalling the records set by Martin O’Neill’s title-winning side of 2001/02.
