The mind is a remarkable thing. If you ask around, you’ll find Celtic fans tell you we played Boavista in the Uefa Cup semi-final in Porto on the Thursday night, before going to Ibrox on the Saturday (it was the Sunday).
Similarly, Barry Ferguson is mumping his gums without restrain today, complaining about Rangers fixtures in May 2008. Rangers were due to play a ridiculous number of games in May due to qualifying for the Scottish Cup and Uefa Cup finals, while catching up on postponed fixtures.
The SPL decided to accommodate them by extending the league programme until two days before the Scottish Cup final. This final was on the last possible date before clubs were ordered to release players for that year’s Uefa European Championships, which started 14 days later.
This season has echoes of 2008 but nothing more. Whereas clubs would have been forbidden from using certain players after the date of the Scottish Cup final in 2008, under current proposals for this year, the second bottom club from the Premiership and qualifier from the Championship will need to retain a number of players beyond their contract end date of 31 May.
Retaining players beyond 31 May will cost clubs money, and players could theoretically refuse to extend their season by a few days, which is this season’s problem. 2008’s problem was a hard deadline imposed by Uefa with no extensions possible. The decision was out of the SPL’s hands.
Great article on the club site today marking Br. Walfrid’s passing and the struggles faced by our forefathers in the late 19th Century. The news that the Foundation are feeding 500 of Glasgow’s homeless today continues the momentum from Wednesday night. Well done to all involved.

So, another tradition, with a twist (and turn)
I have in my possession the celtic view of 23rd march 1966.
each week they have a quiz, just for schoolboys under 15, to win a guinea.
If your ready to rack the old brains, question 1, will be up in a minute.

It was a beautiful early summer but still very cold sunlit night at Paradise, where Celtic wiped the floor with Kilmarnock as you would expect as a modern day Celtic person.
The new Celtic Way the changed with more change to come Parkhead environment truly is something only an oldie can fully understand. What lucky, lucky gifted Celtic fans we are, in a family to add to your family, we roll up and smite all comers, in sport, then you consider what our forebearers suffered under the same alleged banner.
Just for good measure, forget the game the poor ‘immigrants’ bring essential parcels as gifts, and lay them out on the ground, for the poor people of Scotland.

Ah, the ole honest mistake, phrase coined by brother thompshun was it not, funny how they always are honest mistakes when they favour the hun, and incompitance when they favour the hun opposition.
Tom, we don’t often agree, but you are spot on, the honest mistakes make little difference to them cos they are shite………in saying that, without them, I doubt they would be challenging for a playoff place this season.
Was that disagreeing :-)))

does Norman McLeod post on here nowadays about kick off times ?
The View Letters page –
Sir,
I would be very much in favour of an eight o clock start for midweek games. The way I get to the parkhead is on a no 58 bus and this service is very crowded on big match night and I have to wait half an hour for a bus that is not allready full. Consequently I dont reach Celtic park till 7,25 and then have problems getting in.
Yours, Norman McLeod, Hyndland , Glasgow (age 14).

wee bandit was lucky he had bus fare, surely he could have walked for half hour and caught a different bus route.

It’s so bare faced as is all skullduggery that’s is going on behind closed doors to get thems up.
I still have my doubts if the monkeys (which I expect them not to) can’t play their way up…some game plan has been drawn up…ie an enhanced sky/tv deal on offer for an expanded top teir.
After what has went on in the past…nothing could surprise me anymore regarding them monkeys.
