Looking the Lisbon Lions straight in the eye

544

It has been an emotionally charged week for the players and focus around the club will be on weighty matters of history, of what we are all about. You can be sure, however, that Derek McInnes and his Aberdeen players have only one thing on their minds.

Aberdeen can win the Scottish Cup on Saturday. They need to play at their very best, and will need Celtic to perform as they did earlier in the competition against St Mirren, but 90 minutes passes quickly at Hampden, and you and I both know to take nothing for granted.

No one is going to drink in the celebrations of 1967 more than me, but we have won only two trebles since then. The current team deserve every inch of preparation possible. They are already one of the great Celtic teams, with an undefeated treble they can look the Lisbon Lions straight in the eye.

CQN presents Lisbon Lions and wives, Greenock Celtic Supporters’ Club, Friday 26 May 2017

The Lions were paraded on a coal lorry when they reached Celtic Park on 26 May 1967.  We have a coal lorry, we have the Lions. This will be an incredible event.  There’s also a live band.

Admission by ticket only, get yours here.  They will be posted until tomorrow or collected at the door thereafter.

  1. What about the suggestions of a European league involving us and the likes of Ajax?

    WITS

    Man Utd and Ajax…..beat them before, and would beat them again.

     

    Easy :)

  4. No time for either of these teams.

     

     

    Based on what I’ve seen we would give both these teams a run for their millions.

     

     

    It’d be good if BT ponied up a wee bit more and won SPFL contract but down side of that would be more finance for Stupid FC that would definately see them break better than even. Just!

  5. Is Griffo gone yet, I hear ye get Tunnocks Tea Cakes in the marlin Leeds:))

     

     

    Whit a place:))

     

     

    I just said I could see him going, he is a tad impulsive!

     

     

    Just ask his Wives:))

     

     

    If Man Utd were playing out the back I’d draw the curtains..

  6. Moonbeamswd. ………….the Dutch are no millionaires and are probably on far less money and smaller budget than Celtic.

  8. Fifty years ago, eh? The night before the European Cup final – the anticipation of what the next day would hold.

     

     

    Would fathers/mothers, sons/daughters, brothers/sisters, friends/relatives arrive safely in Lisboa and see the match?

     

     

    How would people at home watch the match? How many prayers offered for a win and how many promises made if we would win.

     

     

    Me? When I woke up on the 25th May I hoped I would have Corn Flakes instead of porridge.

     

     

    In fairness, I was only three and a half.

  9. THE GREEN MAN SAYS SACK THE BOARD

     

     

    Now now Greeny, don’t get yer boxers roon the wrong way!

     

     

    It’ll end in tears.

     

     

    Don’t take our Griffshine away!

     

     

    I wonder if any of you chaps would be kind enuff to drop us a link for the Lions documentary the morra:))

     

     

    I hope some Tim puts it on the Pirate Bay:

     

     

    Nudge nudge wink wink!

  10. Ajax with a whole team of 20 year olds.Listening to the couple of bell ends commentating,you would think they were beating Real Madrid.The miracle was this vastly more inexperienced Ajax team got there in the 1st place.

     

    I would take this Man U team in the group stages all day long.

  11. raymac………….in fairness the young lads did well to reach the final and I agree Sinky Jamsie, Paddy, Griff,Dembele would make hay against the two of them.

    Cumbernauld won 3.1 tonight so stay up. Thank you both for your good wishes. Maryhill won 3.2

     

    That means it’s between Maryhill and Yoker for final relegation spot. Yoker need one point from final two games to avoid relegation.

     

    Next up for Yoker, as you know is Girvan.

     

    Girvan need a point to win the league, Yoker need a point to avoid relegation, should I bet a draw?

    Cumnock beat Auchinleck 1.0 in the W.O.S. semi final and play Pollok in the final. I think it’s first time for a while that Cumnock have turned Auchinleck over. Scott Anson scored the winner, I know Scott really well, he’s a good lad, he should have done more with his career. He won young player of the year when he was at Killie. Anyway I’m happy for either Tony or Scott to get their hands on the trophy.

     

    Hail Hail.
