Almost exactly 10 years after Celtic fans alleged Porto’s adherence to the rules was less than faithful, when they won the Uefa Cup after extra time, their creative genius, Deco, failed a drugs test a substance used to mask performance-enhancing substances were found in his blood.
Is anyone surprised?
Congratulations to the Celtic under-20 team on securing league and cup double, the fourth consecutive season Celtic youths have recorded this achievement. John Kennedy and Stevie Frail’s operation is years ahead of what was previously known as their domestic competition.
Celtic have been fine-tuning youth development since Tommy Burns returned from Amsterdam all those years ago with new strategies, some of which are still being used. The cream graduate as Champions League players, but Celtic are pretty much running elite-level youth development in Scotland, a fact made clear when you look at the enormous number of Celtic training academy graduates earning a living across the rest of the league.
It used to be the case that Celtic wasted young talent. Perceived wisdom was “Go to Aberdeen or Dundee United, they’ll turn you into a player”. The opposite is now true.

Suttons volley- a posh bit of Toryglen- you must be on the glue. As a Soosider my memories of Toryglen centre mainly on being chased by a youth group called the Circus back to the Polmadie hill
EDB – I am good thanks how are you? are you off to the cup final?
Che – you know me I am always calm :-)
Ball spun back there like a snooker screw shot-allowing Moses to follow up and score.For a minute I thought the keeper must smother it-Ah well-time yet if Basle can up their game again.
2-1 Chelski
Is Basils Thyme up for this season?

The windaes are optional, depends on the weather!! :)
Btw in my 30 years of living next to Hampden the worst behaviour I’ve ever seen was the the Hearts fans when they beat Gretna in the final a few years back.
It went way beyond the acceptable, not isolated incidents, it was the attitude of the vast majority of them. Abusing everyone in sight – including children and the elderly. Really poor.

What a goal…

KevJ, IMO is honest.
Therefore should be listened to always, especially online where BILLIONS are spent on disinformation.
Celtic are about to become one of the Most Elite Clubs in the World. I am very uneasy about that fact, hopefully guys like SFTB, Kojo and others will put my fears at rest about my deep fears about Celtic going into a BIG League.

That sounds about right, the circus boys gave me plenty jip coz I was posh. Lived with both my parents in a house wi a garden was considered posh! Honestly
The circus is now in the process of being torn down, ghetto created by GCC. I’m in old Toryglen near the 100 acres.
You?

Toryglen the only place to receive food parcels from Kabul….

Suttons volley- I lived in QE square before they blew it up- in Greenock now- doing missionary work with the natives
Lampard is no Nakamura!
Just turned over the Benfica game ….. What happened to the player who has been taken to hospital..?
BT – how are you doing?
Got to admit all 4 goals have come from decent moves/ finishes (just as Lamps puts a free-kick into row Z).
:-)
Toryglen,the part of the M74 that’s cobbled.

Fools seldom differ :-)
67Heaven, cross to the back post, defender gets his head to it, attacker jumps five feet in the air and kicked him in the head, out cold, not even a card.
He must have seen the defender coming.
Then a few minutes later the attacker scores, lucky to be on the park, I thought it was reckless.
Basil Faulty?
Glasstwothirdsfull
Roy Keane ?
Who was the third team ?
So Celtic split CL semi-finalists and EL finalists to make the last 16….some achievement!
HH!
