It remains a possibility that Atletico Madrid will lose today’s league decider against Barcelona and next week’s Champions League final against Real Madrid (vernacular: ‘do a Hearts), but I hope not. The fact that they have pushed the two most celebrated football clubs on the planet to the limit, across two tournaments, is already remarkable. Should they deliver on two fronts, it will be the most stunning achievement in European football in 47 years.
There was a healthy amount of bloodlust for the Uefa Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules to fine the life out of the likes of Manchester City and Paris St Germain, before banning them from Uefa competition. This was never the point.
What Uefa have done is bring Europe’s two most freely spending clubs into line. FFP will restrict City and PSG’s expenditure, transfer market activity and squad selection. This is a result.
It’s a pity we’re not at Celtic Park to lift the Scottish Cup today. *!*!
Enormous thanks to Tommy Gemmell and everyone who participated in the entertainment here yesterday. Tommy thoroughly enjoyed the banter and will be back on the blog below this article early this afternoon to catch up with the questions he didn’t have time for yesterday.

Wasn’t trying to be cryptic.
Earlier today Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_On_Annaw_Noo (may not have remembered that correctly) used the C&C Magners and Blackthorn sponsorship as an indication that Celtic and Sevco were continuing joint operations.
Now that Sevco have been dumped and gone to non-league specialists 32red for future shirt sponsorship, I’m suggesting that this is a visible separation of business.
More of the same please, Celtic.

Step 1 Let the Huns die
Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan supports Oscar Knox, MacKenzie Furniss and anyone else who fights Neuroblastoma @ 00:48
According to @CelticResearch
Story broke on KDS apparently.
Just my opinion before I get to my cot, this blessed site is deteriorating rapidly by posters who seem to have their own agendas which perceive their own opinions to decry anything Celtic.
I support Celtic. I am a ST holder for Celtic. I am a Celtic TV subscriber. If I am classed as a happy clapper to the ole anti Celtic Board weirdo’s, that’s their problem. I was born a Celtic Supporter and will die a Celtic Supporter. We have enough detractors in this country without our own barking mad against every attempt by Our board to attempt to encourage new revenue streams. Just a wee guy who loves my precious Team dearly. I love Celtic.
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.

Sorry pal. Bit slow on the uptake. Yes it seems to be the case. When was the last time we had sponsorship from seperate entities. They said it could never happen. Heh.
Maggie
Im not sure I understand your point regarding Lawwell gaining entrance to the Lions Den. Could be viewed as a step in the right direction from some. Agree that it doesnt seem to have made a jot of difference thus far though.
On your second point, of letting the huns die. What is our Club doing to keep them alive? If Trading Standards BDO and the like are saying theyre called …..that…..What can we do?
Seems you wont be happy unless they come out and crassly say “look that mob oor err urr deid ”
I would love to hear Pete say that but its never gonna happen mate.

‘I said …back when….
Celtic cannot do a thing about this situation less they be seen by this cuntry’s meeja as rockin the boat/stirring sectarianism/causing civil unrest/ blahblah ….and it was up to US to do the work. To force, the issue, to demand answers. To give our Club the nudge to ask the questions.
You all SAT ON YOUR HANDS.’

Since Celtic have no chance of getting into the EPL especially if independence is voted in then The Celtic Board should at least be perceived as seen to be attempting to clean up the corruption in Scottish football instead of a willing participant in Ogilviness

I support Celtic, not interested in any way with the politicos that go along with that. Am I wrong??? If I listened to the anti Celtic agendas on this blog in the last few months, I probably would not have renewed my ST. I renewed my ST the day the renewal arrived in the post. If you can, check with Celtic.com. If anyone has an issue supporting one of the few football clubs in the UK who are not in debt, sorry you really need to look at your options. I know what mine is.

Noticed Tommy Gemmell said that Peter Lawwell was exceptional with the remaining Lions.
Also when Sean Fallon passed away, Peter Lawwell and Lenny drove straight to the family home and sat all day with them.
I think the way the club handles things on a personal level these days is unprecedented in the history of the club.
Even the wee Oscar tragedy,you could go on forever.
Celtic Park was resplendent on Sunday, I wouldn’t be biased, but the place did look beautiful. They left wee flags on every seat,the fireworks display etc.
The club put on a show.
It is the easiest thing in the world to be a critic, and there is no perfect world… but sometimes we must give credit, where credit is due.
The Green Brigade were extraordinary also.
Goodnight and good luck to all Celtic supporters, at home and abroad.
KTF.
Eric Riley (SPFL) and Peter Lawell (SFA) must have also been aware of this TV deal. They could help us understand what really happened, why and the timeline of events.
So the The boy Jinky will has vowed to “support” the LEGEND Tommy Gemmell. Financially I presume since hes hit hard times. Well,,, JINKY since youre so flush why not pay for Mr Gemmell to stay in Lisbon an extra week so he can enjoy his time there sampling such things as the restauraunt Beatsbhoy reccommended …maybe even cover his tab there too.
Im sure he’ll appreciate it. Poor wee soul that he is.
And PFAYR…(Where are ya?)…. Sure you wont mind either eh?
16 roads – Celtic über alles… @ 02:15
Sunday was beautiful. Celtic Park is a special place. Especially on such days. The future is looking great. We need to appreciate the good times and enjoy them.
Credit where credit is due. Well done for not being totally pashed out-of-you-face last Saturday. The only problem is I understand you better when you are wrecked.
Morrissey the 23rd lol
I can remember ye saying in 67 that I was speaking in French ya wee rocket ye!
Hopefully see you next season, and have a proper drink legend.
You mind yerself well mo chara.

You seem to be full of ideas about what others should do with their money.
And, just for the record, HT is a top man who is exceptionally generous with his time, and money, for others.
Tommy Gemmell and Jock Stein are complete legends for me no matter what tomorrow’s chip wrappers say and if a legend makes a few bob from them, so what? It’s mostly stupid huns that buy them anyway and telling them the truth is a waste of time.
HH
Ger57
Full of ideas…It wasnt me who suggested supporting a Lion to spare him going to the lengths of serialising his book in the Record
Hes a top man is he?
Ive been reading CQN for most of its existence. I beg to differ. The fanny quote ….was a quote…from him. BTW
Agree on your third point.
HH
Anything else ?
It was said in a similar situation that Mr Ryecatcher found himself in tonight ,….only worse. When the band of bruthers get the gether on here they are worse than 6 year old lassies in a ahem…primary school.
And since you mention it…he does seem to have a lot of TIME on his hands ….for a primary school teacher….dont get me started with the financial ….no
Are you defending his attack on Ryecatcher?
