If you are missing your competitive football fix you’ll have devoured the fixture list this morning but it’s still over seven weeks until the first league game of the season, when the league flag will fly before we face Ross County (we will have played a Champions League qualifier five weeks from today).
Thereafter, due to the postponement of a home game to allow for a financially lucrative friendly, Celtic are on the road six times in nine league fixtures, so if our away form is anything like it was for much of last season, it’s likely we will be in the mix, instead of clear leaders, come the end of October.
After an absence of some time, Celtic have a local derby to look forward to. They meet Partick Thistle at Firhill on 26th October with the return game at Celtic Park set for New Year’s Day. We are scheduled for two trips to the Capital within a month but don’t go booking your flights for the Hearts game in September, just in case…..
Curious news today that Celtic director and BT chief executive, Ian Livingston, will leave the telecoms company after five years at the top to become Minister for Trade and Investment in the coalition government. Livingston will serve from the House of Lords. How about boosting the ailing Scottish football industry by lobbying for a merger with a neighbouring league?
Have you bought a ticket for Firday night’s Lions Roar event? Join hundreds of Celtic fans and the Lisbon Lions to watch the Lisbon game and for a Q&A afterwards.

Bobby moore
his last game was 1975 fulham v west ham. Big billys was the same day. My uncle wrote to him wishing him all the best for the game and said how much he had enjoyed watching during his career. Mr moore wrote back hand written on fulham fc headed paper sayin celtic were a club he greatly admired and wished us well against airdrie. Nice touch from a gentleman and truly world class player. Never mind clowns like gascoigne, he is an english footballing icon they can be proud of

Slightly tongue and cheek re Messi – I was in Christchurch when he was quite impressive at Celtic Park in 2008.
And I still like Eric!

Tigana was for me, one of the best I ever saw, in one of the best teams, and in one of the best tournaments , I ever saw
This is a Mexico side who’ve scored 3 in 5 Central Amwrican WC qualifiers and have the supposedly magnificent Brazilians on the rack
Can’t have this Brazil sefence
Barrera’s introduction is causing Brazil all kinds of problems, can’t see them scoring though.
Bobby Charlton was a truly great player; not exactly a ray of sunshine off the pitch but blessed on it.
Now his reputation is elbowed aside by the likes of Keegan, or heaven forfend, Gascoigne.

I hear what you are saying, but Henrik knew little about Celtic when he joined us, and I always felt very proud of the fact that his love for Celtic was ‘meteoric’….Tommy was ‘one of us’ and, as you say, he lived his whole life for Celtic. Difficult to explain what I mean…..I used to get excited every time Henrik went anywhere near the ball…never felt that way about any other player in any team…
another take on the photo
“@bryan_mcquade: one of the best pictures ever.. http://t.co/XlKKC5Npgo“
Masty is Neil Lennon
Jair did score in every game. Muller scored more in the tournament but didn’t score in one game. Not a bad front two though.

I used to get excited every time Oliver tebilly was near the ball.
In a kind of S******* myself kinda way.

bobby charlton again great player. explosive shooting with either foot. read he suffered from “survivors guilt” aftet munich. Apparantly prior to this he had a very outgoing personality. Deeply affected by the tradgedy

Calm down dear.
I was merely pointing out that you talk as much mince about football as you do about everything else.
Since you are a moron I would expect nothing less.
Now off you pop, there’s a good doggie.
I’ll whistle when I need you again.

Bobby Charlton – good player. Ramsay took him off v Germany in 70 when England was winning and replaced him with Norman Hunter. Might have had something to do with them losing.

If you dont get Eric & Ernie you should leave the planet.

Are Brazil on telly..?
Jimbo67
Spot on. Taking oof charlton gave der kaiser the freedom to attack and helmed england in. Tried to save charltons legs for semi v italy. Peter bonetti had a shocker too. Shame :o)
bbc3 mate game over though..
67Heaven, Che, both valid points of view.
Henriks love grew, he knew nothing of the Club when he arrived, but by the time he left….
Tommy Burns and Paul McStay were born to love Celtic, whether they played for the first team or not, that is the only difference, is one more a Tim than the other? Hmmmmm.
After some thought…..
Not for me,
It’s the old nature or nurture debate coming up again.
Greenyinfurrafenian
I liked Bonetti – played for Dundee United in 79/80. Career never recovered from Leon. Banks wasn’t a bad ‘keeper. Best I ever saw in the flesh was Croy for Sachsenring in 76. Banks best on TV

Who exactly is this Livingston clown?/
jimbo,
God knows Ill be skelly eyed by then, lol
jude, been a long time reader on here, and must say ,your one of my favourite posters, but honestly,Eric&Ernie? :) sorry,

Take Neymar out of that Brasil side, they are very, very average.
The heat of the mid day sun, one of the stupidist sayings I have ever heard, must have been coined by an englishman.
It’s actually cool in the mid day sun, and it keeps getting hotter till about seven, feckin eejits.

Zwickau (where the trabant was built) was sore. Schmichael for me was the best. Always the the soviet keeper dasiev (sp?) was a fine goalie too

I always, thought Shilton was one of the best I ever saw, and I dont think Ive seen any much better since
Yashin was a keeper. never saw him, but my Da told me he was brilliant.
