We should commission a study into what happens to football teams immediately after a big game when they need to play a less illustrious opponent. This week Kilmarnock got a better result against Celtic than Barcelona, and unlike the Catalans, Kilmarnock were away from home.
Cast your memory back five years for a better example. Celtic beat Champions League holders, Milan, remarkably the only time the club have recorded a win against reigning champions, and met Gretna the following weekend, at Fir Park, Motherwell. Gretna were promoted that summer but had cutbacks forced on them, as the financial gamble to promote them to the top flight. Still, a James Grady free kick caught Artur Boruc on his heels. It took goals from Chris Killen (remember him?) and Scott McDonald in the final three minutes to save face for Celtic. Gretna failed towards the end of that season and were subsequently liquidated.
Celtic got the better of both Spartak Moscow and Benfica that season.

Lol.2-2 Is this the Merseyside derby with atmosphere?
pedo fund embezzelers 2-0 Clyde
The fitness levels of these top flight footballers are quite something.
Just sayin’.
However….it amazes me that when citizens are overwhelming food banks, a football team can be the plaything of one single dubious billionaire…..and that is okay.
The Roman Empire had nuthin’ on the excesses and disparity in wealth of today. And if you think slavery is not a daily reality for millions, think again.
Everyone’s gone for their tea…

So you think I’m part of a media wide establishment conspiracy to cover up what went on in Yorkshire?
Are you David Icke?

Don’t think anyone’s away for tea,think the blog police have been knocking at a few doors.
If you’re right 1/100 then you too can be David Icke and gull punters for megabucks just like he does.
I rekon he learned a lot from L.Ron. Hubbard.
Am actually, err, makin’ the tea.
Was that an honest mistake?
Slaves to and for capitalism….true,and sad….esecially when you’re alone and hungry.
A dangerous and cruel world. “As cold as charity.”
I’ll be making tea when the circus ends. Lundun chelski bhuns down to 9. ManUre getting agricultural….tearing up the turf. Gie us a riot!

Change of subject. Question for any old timers out there to settle a debate with a fell ST holder. Does anyone remember at games in the distant past ( maybe even the 60’s ) when a sheet was carried around the track a half time to collect money for charity / club funds etc.
I’m sure it was common practice at Junior games and think it may also have happened a Senior level as well. Anyone any thoughts on this, and did it happen at Celtic Park?

I’m a smashin’ cook,but nobody else thinks so.
Too much booze,too many fags,too few taste buds……….
All the more for me,though dinner parties are understandably off the agenda.

When thousands of the poorest on this planet die from hunger and
disease every day and is accepted as the way things are. It is a cruel
and evil world, right enough
Was feart to come on earlier wi’ awe the abuse that was getting flung about. Thank god it’s calmed doon.

Typo: fellow ST holder
Pat Nevin on 5Live not so keen on the ref or linesman at the Chelsea v Man U match.
The Red Telephone,
The only time I can remember such happening at Celtic Park was the game v Liverpool, after Hillsborough.
Thetimrieper@1736
Agreed, there is enough money in this world to wipe out poverty for the whole of mankind for the duration of this planets life. Sad.

I consider myself innovative when it comes to cooking,my kids don’t see it the same way.I can’t understand their thinking,nobodies died yet.
The ref sent off Torres, where he should probably have sent off Evans and the 3rd Man U goal looks offside.
