  1. JIMMYNOTPAUL-thanks for that.Archie in commentary said it was a fine bit of skill.

     

    I wonder whet the rat McCann would have said.

     

    PS-how good was viduka

  2. prestonpans bhoys on

    I used to enjoy my malt whisky but due to my

     

    hiatus hernia it can go Pete Tong however

     

    It doesn’t give a monkey’s about the gin👍👍👏👏👏

  3. F.B. 8.30.

     

    Viduka, Mr 70% was a great talent.

     

    He just didn’t apply himself enough for us, the fact he went to England and scored 22 goals in this first season for Leeds, in the top division , tells us he was a player.

     

    Just to annoy you, do you remember he scored all four against Liverpool, in a 4.3 game?😉

  4. On reflection, it makes sense that Celtic miss the crowds more than anyone else.

     

    Bear with me here…..

     

    Young Jeremy, French Eddie,in fact all of the team, are used to the LARGE crowd appreciating their skills, which in turn, emboldens them. This raises their spirits which enables them to do better. The other side of the coin is mistakes are called out making them more likely, consciously or subconsciously try harder.

     

    Compare that to today’s scenario, no crowd whatsoever, it can’t be easy.

     

    Other teams, who play week in week out in front of a handful of spectators, won’t notice as much difference as our boys do.

     

    …..or am I talking shite?

     

    Answers on a postcard

  5. JIMMYNOTPAUL/PHILBHOY-its funny how you can remember certain things from a game but nothing else.Even watching it there I honestly couldn’t remember the game.Old age,drink or both 😉

     

    No answers required 😉

  6. Philbhoy.

     

    Yes a very talented side.

     

    I was in the front stand that game, it really was one of those moments when everyone was asking, did he really do that?

     

    Magic stuff.

  7. come on noo …wee ken your all white cider lads

     

     

     

    smiley snakebite city rollers thing

  8. Adi – I’m not into my whiskey but I was up PB’s golf club 1 night and someone bought me a whiskey and it was beautiful. As I was pushed I dont know the name of it.

     

    It tasted of smokey wood Mmmmmmmm itvwas indeed lovely, nothing like a traditional whiskey.

     

     

    D :)

  9. JIMMYNOTPAUL-yes mate.I remember it well.I have probably told this a few times on here.My big cus Alfie went down to Leeds as a bhoy and actually played beside the Argentina manager from a few years ago now. I thought viduka was exceptional

  10. A few folk nervous about young Connor Hazard playing against TFOD Mk II… I am sure the same sentiments were expressed about a very young and inexperienced David Marshall facing the mighty Barcelona… 😊

     

     

    QUESERASERACSC 😊🍀

  11. 31003-I would agree to a point.If we’re needing a lift maybe in a European game then the crowd right behind the team.I remember against accies last season when brown scored in the last seconds.That support (and I was in there ) where not so charitable.

     

    I also think the Huns have got off lightly without a crowd,especially recently

  12. MALORBHOY

     

     

    Wonderful to see you post!

     

     

    Please, don’t be a stranger!

    And tell DBBIA to get back on here as well!

  13. Sorry if posted already

    Pat, Then whit?

     

    Friend, well they made this Irishman the manager, guy called Martin O`Neill,remember him? he played in that great Nottingham Forest team that won the European cup twice in the 79 n 80

     

    Pat, aye that wiz a good team, but wiz he any good wie us?

     

    Friend, Pat in his 1st season, we won the treble,

     

    Pat, laughs, no way

     

    Friend, aye Pat he did, we hid some great players in that side, but thats no the best part, he took us tae a European final in Seville, 80,000 Celtic fans went tae Seville Pat, Celtic were showing signs they wur oan the road back tae greatness Pat.

     

    Friend,, But he left as well, you`ll never guess who we goat as manager next?

     

    Friend, Who wiz the player ye hated the maist in the 80s and played fur Aberdeen?

     

    Pat, Ah hated that wee Strachan, but it widny be him.

     

    Friend, Pat, it wiz, but listen, he grew tae love the Celtic and won us a few leagues, he did awright wie us honest Pat.

     

    Pat, this is hard tae take in , wid never huv thought he wid become oor manager, he hated us back in the day.

     

    Friend, Well he did, and he became great friends wie Tommy Burns,

     

    Pat, funny ye say that, Tommy and a young fella by name of Phil O`Donnell wur sitting jist doon there last night, killing themselves laughing at sumhing

     

    Friend, two good men Pat.

     

    So how long did wee Strachan stay fur?

     

    Friend, fae 2005 tae 2009, he left and Celtic gave the joab tae a guy called Neil Lennon, an Irishman, we loast the league that year, but Pat, he managed to win us 3 league titles in a row, then he left, it wiz nuts.

     

    Pat, he won 3 in a row and left, sounds like the usual,

     

    Friend, well next they appointed a Norwegian guy called Ronny Delia, naebdy hid heard ae him, remember thinking, whit the fuck at the time.

     

    Pat, gonnie stoap swearing , you`ll git me fucked oot here,and its aweright in here.

     

    Friend, sorry mate, but this guy Delia, he won us another two oan the trot, then left.

     

    Pat, hod oan, if the guy called Lennon won us 3 in a row, and that Ronny guy won us 2, that makes 5, ye mean we won 5 in a row?

     

    Friend, aye Pat and it gets better, efter Ronny left, we got this guy, another Irishman called Brendan Rodgers.

     

    Pat, and yer telling me it goat better ?,

     

    Friend, Pat yer never gonnie believe this, he won the treble in his 1st season and we went thru the season undefeated, they wur called .The Invincibles, it wiz unreal he then won us another treble in his next season, tae make us double treble winners,1st team in Scotland tae dae it,the supporters were ecstatic Pat.

     

    Pat, wait the noo, so if ma countings right, thats us done 7 in a row?

     

    Friend, Aye Pat 7 in a row unbelievable

     

    Pat, so is the guy Rodgers still winning with us?

     

    Friend, Pat, he left us, under poor circumstances,and went tae Leicester city,the hing is Pat, he left a lot of Celtic fans with a sour taste, we wur going fur the league and Scottish cup, when he walked away, he hid already won us the league cup in November.

     

    Pat, he won two trebles and walked away, no way, so yer meaning tae tell me, we`re in with a good chance ae another treble? whits gawn oan doon there?

     

    Friend, Well ye remeber ah telt ye aboot the Irishman Lennon, who won us 3 in a row,when Rodgers left, Celtic appointed him as interim tae help us try tae achieve the unimaginable and get a Treble Treble.

     

    Pat, so noo yer gonnie tell me, we messed up and the huns won the double?

     

    Friend, Pat, he managed it, we won the league a few weeks ago, and won the Scottish cup oan Saturday, there were thousands n thousands oan the streets dancing , singing and having the time of their life`s, Pat its been unimaginable;to think whit we went thru in the 90s, Celtic have cleaned up for last 3 years.

     

    With that Pat raises himself from his chair, tears streaming from his eyes, and gives his best mate the biggest cuddle ever.

     

    Friend, Pat, ah better go noo, ah telt the wife ah wiz only nipping doon tae the bookies, that wiz 9 hours ago.

     

     

    As Pat`s mate was jist about tae enter the lift, he shouted tae Pat, oh Pat, wan last thing.

     

    The huns were liquidated!!

     

     

    The moral of the story Bhoys and Ghirls,We all know and love someone like Pat, enjoy the good times a lot of great people never got the chance to witness what we have…Here`s to 9 in a row fur Pat HH boys🍀🍀

  14. 31003-I think you’re correct regarding viduka.

     

    Did our new striker from West Ham not turn us down while waiting on better offers then also go into hiding when he realised we were all he had🤷🏽‍♂️

  15. Fairhill Bhoy

     

     

    1) You’re dead right about that mob. They’re making hay while their “fans” aren’t there

     

    2) aye. Ajeti wanted a 2 week holiday to make up his mind.

     

     

    I’m going to try that line next time I’m offered a job

  16. Adi

     

     

    I remember sitting watching Henke, Sutty and big bad John strutting their stuff and telling my son, “ Watch and appreciate every second of this, one day they’ll only be a memory”

     

     

    Think he told me to shut up n watch the game

  17. Adi …since 5 past seven has Norway been free from Sweden….

  18. PHILBHOY on 27TH DECEMBER 2020 8:15 PM

     

     

    I remember the wonderful Bertie Auld sitting on the ball during a match against Clyde. Big Jock tore him a new one for being disrespectful to the opposition.

     

     

    *I was in the Jungle that day right opposite tae where he done it and yes he was playing tae the crowd but Stevie also got tore intae him.

  19. Broony and Soro between Calmac and DT, a flat back four and 2 strikers.

     

     

    What can possibly go wrong?

     

     

    C’MON THE CELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. TONTINE TIM

     

     

    I took a girlfriend who was over from Canada to that game.

     

     

    She was lovely, so my memories of the actual game………….are vague.

     

     

    Now, I can remember her no problem……….
