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.

I’m not so keen on Pat (the snivellin’ crawdaddy) Nevin, so he can keep his sleekit hun’ appreciation society gob closed. He is Jabba’s inner anorexic as far as I’m concerned.

Hunger should by now not be a thing that exists

Bang on my good buddy. It is a disgraceful situation when adverts on national tv are pleading for £2 a month to save a childs life. Ffs let the broadcaster, at least, chip in.

And yet it’s getting worse, not better. It even affects people in the so-called developed world. The Spanish Red Cross annual appeal this year, rather than going to victims of disaster abroad, is destined for victims of the crisis here in Spain.

Good man-personally,I’m fattening up my big hun mate for Christmas.
I take it Swalex and Di Matteo don’t get on.

It is quite disturbing the poverty that exists everywhere, and the
rich get richer
Mind you,the greatest killers in the developed world come from overindulgence.

That’s the point I was making, sorry if it didn’t come across that way. That abramovitch (spl) asshole does ma nut in wi’ wit he does wi’ his “revenue” streams. Just don’t mention it to Kojo. :)) Nae offence Kojo if yer lurking.

I remember a primary school teacher of mine telling us, when we were studying some part of british history about the gulf between rich and poor, that things had changed now, people were much more equal and there’d never again be such gaps between rich and poor.
I think of her often.

Lol!Are you telling me you’ve found a slim hun?He wasn’t sitting on a dinosaur was he?
Sparkleghirl,

Strangely enough,he looks like he ate one.

I remember giving to a collection in chapel for the “black babies” when I was in primary school circa 1951-1958 . Yes, we really have moved on, NOT.

I did get your point, i was probally over elaborating
sparkleghirl
At school, as like yourself, i thought that i would be going
out to a fair and equal society. Thatcher showed me the
error of my ways
Circus finished for the day. Cannae be bothered with gobbers analyzing what I’ve just seen for myself…especially truncheonheads like Souness the violent fraudster givin’ it large, the unrepentant psychofud. There : three decent insults in one sentence: more than that fool could manage in a paragraph of trying.
Off to cook up some succulent.
See yez bhoys and ghirls!

It is in France – but not on here!
One last thing: The British Red Cross is appealing for funds to deal with hunger here in The ConDemNation. 2012 in the 19th. Century faster than you can say gie us a sandwich.

We had to take 1p into school every Friday for the black babies (1957 – 1961)
Anywhere a boy is called jean its a boys name, I’ve never had a problem with that.
Cheers Mark Clatterberg, waiting on Man u for 4 team acc. Levante, Newcastle,Spurs and the Manc reds. Geordies made me sweat though

The Red Telephone.
I have a faint memory of the Sheet going around the track.
Not sure if it was a Celtic park, though. I seem to remember it at Firhill.
I don’t think the practice survived into the sixties, though, unless in the early part of the decade.
There was also a custom of boxing fans throwing money into the Ring , to show appreciation of a good bout.
These were called, Nobbins.
After the Ronnie Simpson testimonial game at Newcastle in 1968, we went through to Whitley Bay for the rest of the week end.
The St.Mary’s Catholic Club, where we spent the evening, had a Boxing Club.
During the evening’s entertainment, the MC announced a method of fund raising they had.
He sang the old song, “Pennies From Heaven” and the idea was, as he sang, the audience would throw their loose change on to the stage.
The poor guy didn’t fully appreciate the generosity of the Celtic support, who had filled the place. The Croy CSC were there, (I wonder was Fergus present?)
The crooner was bombarded with the Nobbins and had to beg us to stop!
In the sixties the primary school pupils were raising money for the biafrans. Conditioned to give without question
Couldn’t give a toss about the sky cup game today
Henryclarkson…..
Many thanks for the link to the Celtic grave society……..truly , truly awe inspiring , certainly snapped me out of my depression at yesterday’s result!
Heroes all and fundamental to the fabric of our club, God bless everyone of them
How fortunate are we to be part of this ?
Thanks again

Your’e just a bhoay :)). Yes I remember the “bad ol’ day’s”, but, thankfully, I managed to create a reasonable career for my family, and am now enjoying my retirement. My main concern is the fact I used the Salary Sacrifice to contribute to Cancer and other charities, which I just cannot afford to do so now. Hopefully others will take up the mantle. :))

It wasn’t a great name to have in a Glasgow tenement in the 50s – although it did toughen me up – a bit like Billy Connolly’s story about Tyronne
