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.

St.Stivs I apologise for that article earlier mate, I was golfing with kids and someone tweeted the link.
I just read the heading and posted it, I read it when I was back home and your correct it was a bit heavy for on here.
Next time I’ll read before I post, school boy error, emailed Paul and asked him to remove it.
With events at Ibrox about to take another drastic turn for the worst – does anyone else think Challs is the kinda guy who may spill the beans on the unhealthy relationship between Sevco and the SFA?
Nowt as bitter as a man who finds only muck where he expected to find brass.
Bhoys did Leeds not liquidate, according to the sevconians they did :)
Last night, I heard the most ridiculous thing ever on a Football Forum that has such High (s) esteem as RADIO CLYDE. ROFL.
Because of the Celtic playing that shower of haters, we should bring in Biometrics for every fan.
OH my Goodness. Get the Beers out and expose these imbeciles.
Agent provo******s.
Sevco have sought to clear up the rules in the crossbar challenge.
High heels must be worn for every attempt.
The ball used, must be a standard beach ball.
PETEC
Thirty years ago,the govt wanted to bring in identity cards for football fans.
Thin end of the wedge both times. IMO
DEAD AND LOVING IT
Right enough,bound to be a few beach balls still floating around from beach ball Sunday……

Gregory Ioannidis @LawTop20 1h Illicit chanting for UEFA costs £12.5k. Racist remarks for SFA £2.5k. The excellence of self-regulation.
16 roads got a pardon on the way to the gallowgate.
We told him to put the pint Down, that madman decided to drink the lot of it.
We were all acquiescing but 16 roads widnae budge an inch, he was drinking his glass pinted pint, breaking ALL SORTS of laws in Scotland and finished that Pint, even when the nutters were telling him to put it down beside the lampost.
Different World Different mentality.
Jamesie, next time you are over we will be going Clubbing.

I seem to remember Paul67 doing an article on a number of clubs and why they were not a perfect example of what was going on with Rangers. Leeds was one of them.
I reckon sevco will tap up BDO and ask if they can ‘borrow’ the dead rangers accounts again. “I’ll pay you back as soon as my giro comes through”.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
I was thinking that beach balls where on the banned list-must have lifted it for the comp.
Good evening friends
I wish they would just die and be done with it.
Our youth set-up is good and certainly better than all others in Scotland. However, it cannot be classed as elite until it produces elite players. q) is that likely to happen?
a) IMHO, not if we keep signing squad players which is prohibitive to opportunity for the youth.
how to get an elite system, simple, put good scouting, training and development together and throw in opportunity (reduce first team squad, but add quality to help the young ones along when they are called upon).
or forget about an elite youth system and just sign guys like lassad, miku, the Israeli loanee, bangurra, murphy’s etc… at huge cost with little contribution or commitment.
p.s. there is no need to stop the identification of quality young players from around the globe, in fact, celtic should continue apace to identify the top young players on the planet and be spend what little they have on them

Father and son Celtic players:
Dariusz ‘Jackie’ Dziekanowski and…it’s a fair chance any of our Scottish players born in the early 90′s may be related.
Especially sons of chambermaids in the thistle hotel at the time.
Maybe the one the night before the Huns game he scored in!!
Champers and beans on toast at 4 in the morning might explain his performance that day, done hee-haw but score that day.
hi jobo h.h

The could go to to the guy in the govan shopping centre, but he is a bit expensive with a tenner a week on every ton, or so am told.
I wonder if they would let Billy Nakamura take the Crossbar Challenge?
So Chuck gets a £2,500 fine for using a racist word.
Wonder what the punishment would have been had the same offence been committed by a Celtic supporter on the way to, or returning from, a game.
OG
How’s this news coming along?
Still ticking?
According to Wikipedia, Leeds got a CVA. HMRC challenged it briefly but relented. No liquidation apparently.
Fanny… 3 match ban
P@ki … £2, 500
Sfa …. priceless
yeh o.g.come on down..

Turnaround`s very low and then I get a
little bit worried that we’re never getting paid
Turnaround`s very low and then I get a
little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround`s very low and then I get a
little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround`s very low and then I get a
little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround`s sh*te guys, very low and

Turnaround`s very low and then I get a
little bit angry and I know I’ve got to get out and cry
Turnaround`s very low and then I get a
little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround`s sh*te guys, very low and

Turnaround`s sh*te guys, very low and

And we need the Tims tonight
And we need them more than ever
And if they’ll only forget our sh*ite
We’ll be hanging on to them forever
And we cannot be making it right
So we’ll both be liquidated together
We can take it to the end of the line
Campbell is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don’t know how to pay and the bank has now tanked
We’re playing with scottish dregs and using Deutsch marks
I really need you tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now We´re only falling apart
There’s nothing we can do
A total eclipse of the hearts
Once upon a time there was Rangers in my life
But now there’s not even the bank
Nothing we can say
A total eclipse of the Hearts
Turnaround`s sh*te guys
Turnaround`s sh*te guys
Turnaround`s, every now and then I know
My son will be the bhoy I never wanted him to be
Turnaround`s, every now and then I know
My son will be the only bhoy who wanted me the way that I am
Turnaround`s, every now and then I know
there’s no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as Lenny
Turnaround`s, every now and then I know
there’s nothing any better and there’s nothing I just wouldn’t do
Turnaround`s sh*te guys, very low and
then we fall apart
Turnaround`s sh*te guys, very low and

Awe naw, no Laurie from Dennistoun…
Oh no its Laurie fae Dennistoun….
Jobo -ha
Does this fud write Keevins script?
Sevco boasting of another sell out on Saturday. Family of 8 get in for a tenner probably.
P1ssing away £1M a month. lol!
The problem with Laurie’s view is that supporters like myself would never go back if TRFC are fast tracked into the SPL. It would become a circus!
What level did their shares close at today?
Laurie must be the biggest w****r on the planet, loves to hear his own voice,talks absolute p**h.
Hail Hail.
To distract you from Laurie !

Thank you , one and all .
The Kano Foundation (and yours truly ) are taking part in a fundraising Bungee jump at Xscape , Braehead on 11th May .
I believe the crane is 160ft tall , and as i’ll be hurling towards the ground at up 70mph , i hope they tie it on tight ! Maybe a triple knot might be an idea.
Please sponsor me – i’m not gonna give it “it would be great if you could” or “if you can find the time” – simply , please sponsor me . Gulp.

Chuckles fined £2500 for boasting about his repeated use of racist epithets, NFL three match ban from dug out, including a fifteen minute exclusion from the pitch on the day we won the league, for being overheard by two members of the public calling Jim – I gave as good as I got-Goodwin, in the heat of the moment, a fanny.
As NFL pointed out, a precedent has been set.
