Atletico Madrid, happy for them? Not an easy one. I remember listening to the radio commentary the night we lost to them in the European Cup semi-final of 1974. They, and Rapid Vienna a decade later, represented very unworthy competitors in European competition.
Both teams returned to Celtic Park in recent seasons. Rapid picked up pretty much where we left them, an odious lot, but Atletico and their fans didn’t seem to bother about the past, they came and left wanting to play football.
As a boy I remember chastising old soldiers who fought the Germans during the war for their persistent aversion to modern Germans and Germany. “They are a new people, nothing to do with the 30s and 40s”, I said.
It feels a bit ridiculous holding a grudge against Atletico. Their achievement last night, and this season so far, has been fantastic. Against the most powerful foes, they might just win the hardest league in the world and the Champions League. This late in the season, that is a stunning prospect to still be on the table. They should be an inspiration to us all.
I see the media is (responsibly) alerting Celtic shareholders to the threat of a share scam apparently being perpetrated against unsuspecting fans by spivs and criminals. Where were they in December 2012?

Yes, but no sale of Ibrox and Murray Park, simply a sign over to the holding company.
———————————–
Yup – was just checking I understood you correctly. Question is – how much would the lease cost the severed club and could they generate enough revenue to afford it? If it’s like any other commercial lease then they’re still responsible for some pretty big costs associated with the stadium?
The Token Tim – actually I made him take loads out. It was another 20,000 words of his mad dramas!
Doc – he’s some man!
BCW…
Think I should have bonus points for spotting Dariuz behind JC!!!

Noticed you had stuck a few bets on, best of mi amigo, have a few bob on Utd as well, just hope and pray they can overcome the cheats with the whistle and flegs, Oh and the extras behind the goals for good measure, that’s where their pen will come from imo, canny believe bet365 are giving 9/1 for thems to score a pen, too good not to take a punt on.

Well done TTT and big thank you to BCW for all the work you put into this.

‘If I may, Awe_Naw has a point.
BQ has a problem, he is on the FFP committee, but wants a club that cheated it’s way to Championships and Cups and CL “back”.
Firstly, they’re dead, they can’t come back, secondly they used so much of other peoples money it’s ridiculous, although they gained no sporting advantage, so maybe that makes it ok.
So yes, there is a contradiction in BQ’s official position with UEFA and wanting a financial cheat and basket case back, that is conflicted.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say he is part of the problem or solution, but there is an issue.’
– I agree.

9 to wan …..braw …..your right about the MIB,s …..United will have to play them off the park …Administration for the wee club that was just starting out ,on the Monday at opening of Buisiness….hahahaha braw

31003 – sorry!
It’s stories like this that made Seville so special. Would have given just about anything to have won that night but in actual fact Seville defined us as the modern Celtic support. Henrik deserved it so much and so did you, me and 100,000 others. Henrik got there with Barca and I have a wee feeling we will get our reward in the not too distant future.
A few years ago we were in awe of the latter stage teams in European Competition. Going forward we fear no one.

Dave King is a lying cheating tax crook bastard so that’s a no from me.

But he’s our lying cheating tax crook bastard. Whatever his ultimate motives he’s not in it for the money. His timing today was pretty pish and he’s blinkered towards our inept manager but if it was a straight call between the current incumbents and DK, I’d side with him as we can be sure he’s got our best interests at heart and we can’t say the same about Blue Pitch, Laxey et al.

Absolutely no clue. It’s just a way that they can achieve what they need to, without ra bears calling them out for lying about sale and leaseback.
There’s plenty of heads in the sand giving it “it’s just paper debt” and the company and club are all interlinked etc. They don’t see it as important and they don’t seem to get how it can be used to the detriment of ‘the club’
