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.

Regarding the closing of sections of the stadium for run of the mill SPL games and league cup and scottish cup games
Fact season ticket sales are decreasing
Wether it has been voted on and cast in stone is a matter of opinion however I certainly believe that the idea has been mooted and discussed at board level . It would certainly be prudent in these austere economic times to trim costs by restricting access to certain parts of the stadium therefore saving on staffing policing and security costs. Savings will also be made in the ordering of food which is never purchased and at the end of the day is thrown away and power costs
Lurking a lot. Some posters adopt silly language to hide the emptiness of their minds and their problems with bile.

Red Tails….And Tall Tails….
by Paul Kersey
January 2012 (From Taki’s Magazine )
One would be hard-pressed to name a
city in America without a Holocaust
memorial, though it’s difficult to
understand why this entirely European
tragedy must be constantly mentioned
in the United States.
One would be equally hard-pressed to
name a city in America without a street
named after the Tuskegee Airmen, or
an airport, Air Force base, or military
installation deprived of a huge exhibit
honoring the Red Tails.
At the National Air and Space Museum
outside Washington, DC, the Spirit of
Tuskegee—this holiest of planes—
overshadows the other exhibits not for
being the plane that broke the sound
barrier, but for being the vehicle that
propelled black people to break the
infinitely more important color barrier.
“That the glorification of the black
pilots is almost entirely based on lies—
it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that
1986’s Iron Eagle is based on more
truth—doesn’t matter.”
Schoolchildren across America watch
HBO’s 1995 The Tuskegee Airmen
movie as the source material for this
courageous story of black people
proving they could fly planes just as
well as whitey. (Never mind that less
than two percent of pilots in the US
military today are black and that
major commercial airlines show
similarly low quotients of black pilots.)
Does it matter that the 1995 movie is
largely a Hollywood production based
on now-discredited lies such as the
“never losing a bomber” myth? Not
really. Only a Tuskegee Airmen Denier
—basically the equivalent of a Nazi
sympathizer—would dare question the
legitimacy of the “Red Tails” story.
America has racially progressed to such
a point that the mere thought of
questioning the official Tuskegee
Airmen story would be on par with a
European asking if “six million Jews”
really died in the concentration camps.
Today, George Lucas has decided to
one-up Tyler Perry’s determination to
be the lone filmmaker who makes
movies targeted primarily to black
people by releasing Red Tails. The film
purports to tell the true story of those
black fighter pilots who trained at
Morton Field in Tuskegee, Alabama,
ultimately defeating the twin evils of
Jim Crow and Nazi Germany in the
process.
Much of the glory surrounding the
Tuskegee Airmen’s success was
situated around the superlative, almost
unbelievable tale that not one of the
bombers they escorted was ever lost.
For 62 years this story went
unchallenged, largely because of the
reverence and esteem that had been
built up toward these black aviators
who were so pivotal in the integration
of not only the armed forces, but
America as a whole.
It wasn’t until a dreaded Tuskegee
Airmen Denier by the name of Dr.
Daniel Haulman came along in 2007
and actually researched this story—
started by black journalist Roi Ottley
and quickly picked up by black
newspaper The Chicago Defender in
1945—that the truth came to the
surface.
Why not one of the members of the
white bomber crew whose plane was
shot down during escort by the 332d
fighter group (the Red Tails) ever
stepped forward and told the truth
about the “never having a lost a
bomber” myth is a testament to this
fable’s relatively recent proliferation.
Though you couldn’t be thrown in jail
for such an impolite inquiry to the
veracity of the claims around the Red
Tails as in Europe, Dr. Haulman did
find intense pressure from
entrenched academics
, and the Tuskegee Airmen
themselves, for daring to expose the
truth behind the myth.
How dare Dr. Haulman question the
legitimacy of the Tuskegee Airmen
story and position himself as a Denier?
Doesn’t he know the great victory over
racism at home and fascism abroad
these brave Nubian fighter pilots
achieved?
No matter, for the National Park Service
website entry on The Tuskegee Airmen
National Historic Site still proudly lists
this unfortunate falsehood:
Awarded a Distinguished Unit
Citation for the mission, the
Tuskegee Airmen did not lose a
single bomber despite the superior
German planes.
Haulman says they actually lost 25
bombers in 1944 and 1945 to those
German planes, flown by young
Luftwaffe pilots barely into puberty. But
that doesn’t jibe with the narrative of
being superior pilots—both with their
aeronautical dexterity and moral
compass—to inferior white pilots.
More than 1,200 white Army Air Force
pilots were considered “aces” in World
War II (meaning they had five or more
confirmed kills); not one Tuskegee
Airman earned the honor of being an
“ace” unless you consider Detroit, a
city that Mayor Coleman Young—yes,
he was a Tuskegee Airman—helped
destroy to be an “honorary” kill.
After all, 2012 Detroit looks like it was
leveled by a couple thousand sorties.
Not to be quieted by accusations of
Tuskegee Airmen Denialism, Haulman
would author the small tract Nine
Myths About the Tuskegee Airmen
that pretty much shoots down all the
lies sold as truth to keep the Red Tails
story flying.
That the glorification of the black pilots
is almost entirely based on lies—it
wouldn’t be a stretch to say that
1986’s Iron Eagle is based on more
truth—doesn’t matter. Only a Tuskegee
Airmen Denier would think such
unthinkable thoughts !!

You recently had a number of your more vitriolic and poisonous posts deleted,and were advised to
“Stick to the fitba'”
Not for you,eh?
Then you wind people up,and we lose great men like SFTB because he falls on his sword after stooping to your level.
Did I go crying to teacher after this? Course not.
Is it any less than SFTB self-censored for?
No,not really.
