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.

Kojo,
I defend you in so many ways you will never realise until you meet Celtic Men and Ladies.
I am welcomed despite being a “hardcore Religious” chap. ;)
It is all good, the time is indeed short, a Biblical generation is 70 years.
With the time being short, I urge you to make acquaintances with guys at the convention, the Malachi Martin book he never got to write must have been a beezer. ;)

TimBhoy2, the top tier hasn’t been shut, reserved for pay per match supporters.
Two fold reasons, I think, move ST holders together, better atmosphere and to restrict availability of better seats for pay per game to encourage ST purchase.
Clever in my opinion.
Not joining in an existing arguement, just making a point, hope it’s helpful.
Timbhoy2
Because guys like you don’t want to watch Celtic you want to watch newco. It’s the only reason I can see you want them fast tracked into the SPL.

Ahhhh…. and wee union jacks

Noticed on my cup final letter offer a sentence which says that my name will be on the match ticket “in accordance with SPL guidelines”.
Two things spring to mind (a) this has nothng to do with the SPL its run by the SFA (b) saw a Hibee on telly showing his tickets and froze the shot – I didn’t notice any names on it. Now all my staff are ST holders with Hibs, they are getting their tickets tomorrow, so I’ll ask them what’s on their ticket!

I’m 50% Scottish, 25% Greek and 25% Irish. Which is why I am typing this under observation by Big Brother!!

There’s a global recession. Plenty of empty seats at the benfica – fenerbahce europa league semi-final. Will letting sevco cheat their way up the leagues bring back their fans?

I suspect it’s been left in by mistake from a standard SPL away ticket allocation letter or similar.

You will start to realise a lot of things. If your attention span is short, and I don’t think it is, start from around the 50 minute mark.

Looks like we’ve seen the last of Kojo tonight.
One of his acolytes., Petec, has asked him if he will meet up with some Celtic supporters.
Oh oh, Kojo doesn’t do meeting Celtic supporters. Except obviously his self-alter egos.
Being asked to meet Celtic supporters usually sends Kojo to his underground bunker for a week.
As Kev would say, offf ooooooottt.
Kojo.
Why dont you settle all the confusion…
Your obviously a man of means…
just fly over and meet up at the Aberdour golf event…
it’s that easy to dispel the arguement that you aren’t a celtic man.
Personally I think you are, but you enjoy winding people up as you get bored.
It would be interesting to meet you.
There you go I’ve even quantified your ego.
You know you want to.

Id love to Glasgow X that wee Starkey!!

Do you have Celtic wallpaper in your bedroom?

If you had been attending away matches regularly over the last few months you would have noticed that Celtic have been engaging in this practice for some time. To me it’s a total waste of time because at away games now people more or less stand where they want no matter what seat number and row is printed on the ticket. What are the club or anyone else going to do if you choose on being allocated a ticket decide to gift it to a friend or relative

My name, spelled wrongly, was also on the semi ticket. Reason for employing someone to do it is lost on me moreover if Hibs are not doing it why us? None of my Hibs staff had their name on their semi ticket either?!?
