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?

I was thinking of putting my spending money on Utd but as you say…if it was just down to football on the park, it’s a gimme. We know better though.
WC, daughter is optional.

Is there a miners club in Blantyre??
I have absolutely no doubts whatsoever that Dundee Utd will win their semi final tomorrow in some style. I have no doubt that I will have no doubts half an hour into the game when United extend their lead. And I have no doubt that the lunchtime viewing will be very entertaining.
Can’t wait!
Doc – she’s very welcome!
Aye but 31003 finished 5th, was a first timer AND was skooshed (allegedly)
Oldco; Newco; Going Conern FC; SevcoFA.

The wife and I have an ongoing thing when we are going anywhere in the car, a comp who can come up with words that are spelt the same, but pronounced differently.
Surprisingly, there are many more than you may think, it passes the time for a couple of old sados >}

If a Bankie is offering to buy DRINK, then there is no possibility of there being another one.
Looking for some advice. Myself and Mrs C have seats in Jock Stein stand and were considering taking our 2 year old grandson to his first game at the Dundee Utd game on 11/05. Can he enter with one of us or do we need prior clearance…..he’s too small for his own seat! Grateful for any advice.
Sky fall, last twenty minutes, quite brilliant film.

Bye.
TET,
Strangely enough, my young brother & myself have been collecting such words for about 10 years.
Simple things please us simple minds.
I could give you a list of them.
:¬(((
Is it that time already.
Gotta Go, Joe.
KK, are you coming along to the hootenanny on the 10th may. You’ve missed the last two heetenanies:-)
Rory McIlroy looks like he’s wearing one of TET’s tri bands. Good lad, not so good golf.
ACGR
Never seen the golf, but seen the scoring, bad day for RM. good to see Stephen Gallagher doing ok tho.

Braw –Brawsieere….
I noticed big Montgomery was missing from the master commentary team on the late session. He must be jetting back to see his favourite new diddy team get ripped a new arsehole by Jackie McNamara later today.
Emdae hear Syllva pleading a case for fatsalary on SSB tonight? And her a Celtic fan too. I wonder what her mother wd say??
TET, he’s going well for his first sclaff roon Augusta. If he gets round there ok he might just be able to get round Carnoustie or HDA:-)
Hope he keeps it steady and gets an invite back next year.
A notice KK dipped out when I had a drink winner the auld bassa.
