Celtic hammered Newco 5-1 home and away last season, knocked them out both cups, won one other game and conceded a late equaliser, allowing Newco their only moment of (cough) glory last season.
We finished 39 points ahead of Newco (who were 33 points from bottom). As we set off for the summer, glowing after the first invincible treble in history, chairman of Newco, that complete muppet Dave King, told the assembled media, “In footballing terms I don’t think Celtic are as far ahead as they could have been – certainly with our new signings.”
The two 5-1 defeats now look like Python’s Black Knight losing his legs one at a time, but protesting they were little more than flesh wounds. Except Python was a parody, this guy is being serious!
So, Brendan, Peter, Dermot, get the finger out. These people don’t believe 5-1 is a substantial enough winning margin. When we pitch up at Ibrox on the weekend of 23/24 September, ‘go Medieval on their ass’ to borrow from Quentin.
Take five minutes to update yourself on The Road to Lisbon cyclists, who traveled from Celtic Park to Estadio Nacional last month.
This has been a phenomenal and inspiring effort by a group of Celtic fans – and so many donors. What a great thing to be a part of.

With the greatest respect we are living in one of the most advanced democracies in the world. In addition to this the governing body of European football issue fines for holding up flags, banners and signing songs. And to think out Club are telling us we cant attend a match because of safety concerns. Come on.
Oíche mhaith a Chairde. Many Glasgow Tims will be rightly celebrating HT’s stag party. Have a great day fholks.
Irish Tims will be celebrating our invincible season with Big Ears, the three trophys, Brendan, Keiran and / in City West.
HH
Bhoys…if we dress up in 17th century clothing or colourfull tin-soldier uniforms, we will blend right in:)
And dont forget your Purple cushions and plastic Crown’s.
Job Done.:)

I 100% agree with you…..it wouldn’t stop me worrying though
\o/ obviously.
Evening all , just catching up .
Thanks to everyone who offered thoughts and prayers last week after my father in law passed away and also everyone who offered support and best wishes to my Mrs with her health issues . They meant a lot ,thanks .
On the Linfield game , if I lived in the 6 counties and traveled on a regular basis to watch Celtic , I’d be disappointed in the decision not to accept tickets , especially with the date and kick off time . Is safety the biggest concern or avoiding a possible fine ?
I’m afraid , that as long as the PLC , accept and offer nothing but silence when given proof about systematic rule breaking within the SFA then the cynic in me will always question their motives .
Well done to Leigh Griffiths for calling out the pish talk from the fit and proper criminal .
Looking forward to buying a right good Tim a beer tomorrow and catching up with others .
Till then . HH
Sipsini…that will come as a shock to them. difficult to understand. I suspect there will be much blessing and gnashing of teeth down govan way…lovin’ it! ;-)
Just paint your face orange and shout ‘Never, Never’ a few times, they wont bat an eyelid:)
HH
Sipsini
These days, any help appreciated!
I can talk lying doon! :-)
TGM
Fancy buying me a pint tomorrow I’ve always liked your gib!
Auldheid,
Over the last few years and as a result of many conversations with fans I believe much of our support feel let down once again by those who run the game from the club to the SFA. I guess the issue of apathy arises as we expect to get nothing from the SFA and carry on regardless.
From a personal perspective we are now approaching the rubicon with the Supreme Court ruling on EBT’s now due there will be no longer any viable reason to procrastinate further and justice will need to be done and seen to be done.
The only action I can take if the wrongs are not revisited is to, as others have done, remove my financial input to the game and become an armchair fan. Who would have thought in 2012 that what transpired would see lifelong Celtic fans chucking it in disgust at the unaddressed corruption within our game.
The truth by a person of integrity, wake up ffs!

At your sons age where would you have been?
Almore
Wish you were there my friend.
Angel G
Looking forward to it sir UTLR
HT
Buy you a pint anytime bud.
Not available tomorrow though, family descending.
You in the West-End much?
HH
TGM
East end mostly but I’d make exceptions for the good or the needy.
You strike me as both :-)
So, we’ll have the portuguese clique, the colombian/mexican clique, the english clique, the scottish clique…and wee michael o’halloran sitting in the corner with no one to talk to…….
WITS.
Was Ned Kelly a Tory ?
He may be related to Bob Kelly.
In which case , yes.
HT: I will be. In spirit at least. Will catch up in new season. Looking at second home game, depending on how CL goes.
UTLR
HT
Anywhere suits me.
You can get my number off Delaney’s or Bognorbhoy, we can hook up and i can zap you with my Philosophy of History:)
Now that the powers that be have foiled my attempt to chastise and curse the Linfield mob in the guise of John Knox, im sure i will have loads of free time:)
HH
Almore
Tickets/accommodation please just ask.
HT
Yup….at his age I’d want to be there…..while my auld maw would have a couple of sleepless nights while I was having a wild time…..
TGM
Venture East. You’ll meet the statue of Knox on the way to Bar 67!
Win win :-)
From the age of 4 to 12 I lived on the junction of John Knox St and Ladywell……with John Knox’s statue towering over me……..that’s why I’m always lookin over my shoulder
What a 2 hour show from Radiohead at Glastonbury. Amazing genius musicians. Canny wait to see them in the flesh again at Glasgow Green in a fortnight.

We’ve never let our club down.
For a hundred years of our history I read of how we’d attacked other supporters. Deeper understanding showed that it had been in retaliation.
In my own time I’ve seen the Celtic support respond repeatedly to sectarianism or racism.l but so often as a result of antagonism.
HT
That’s easy to get to for me.
Pencil that in whenever suitable.
I can test my theory of Knox’s influence on al-Baghdadi,….i.e. How similar are their beards, and black attire:)
HH
celtic fc plc a gutless cowardly group of people, they allow cheating and do nothing absolute shame
DD
Radiohead were magic, loved every second:)
HH
HT
Your talkin tae someone that’s seen the same as you
I’d still worry about my son if he went
Supporting yer team is one thing……..but you shouldn’t have to do that and worry about what might be round the corner
TGM
You and HT would be a match made in heaven intellectually and politically. Pity you can’t make his do tomorrow. We arrange another date.
HH
DD
Wonder what the second best-ever set at Glastonbury was? Phenomenal stuff, especially from Thom. Thought they’d stopped playing ‘Creep’, so what a great surprise that was!
DD
Yeah, id enjoy that, we can arrange that.
Got the full family tomorrow.
But lets do that soon:)
HH
Beatbhoy
Lovely version of ‘Let Down’, a wonderful song.
HH
Beatbhoy
Thom and Jonny are genius.
Amazing set.
Theresa slam the door shut as you leave please. :)
David Kelly was pushed.
TGM
Weird Fishes genius song.
Were Steps on at Glastonbury per chance…….tragedy…..do di Dee da da da da dum da……tragedy…..ti tee tum tum num ta da da bum……
TGM
Yeah, the OK Computer stuff still sounds fresh, and the songs are enhanced by being played live. Is it not 20 years ago this year it was released? Maybe that’s why that was the dominant album in their set. ‘Lucky’ was magic, too, as I hadn’t heard that live before.
DD
Street Spirit….amazing.
HH
The Nolans?
Beatbhoy
Just a great band.
They can do anything.
Loved it tonight.
Genius.
HH
